Newspaper Page Textrnnn nmninrn rn u iiAniiRiirn 11111 WSIWWIIVSaw TO THE UST For many weeks previous to the ale ot the Pacific Eastern the public was worked up to & high pitch ef expectancy aa to what would eventually become of that road. Va rious rumora had been afloat at times to the aale of the road to Eastern parties, but not one of the material ized, and the public waa kept In con tinual suspense until the final deal was closed last Saturday for the aalo ot the road to John R. Allen and as isoclates of New York. Since then there has been a relaxation of rail road talk, every one rejoicing oyer the fact that the P. ft E. had been sold to parties who would , resume traffic on the road at once. Yesterday Engine No. 1 of the P. A E. waa steamed up, the combina tion car with tbe trade mark on Us aide a triangle Inclosing the words The Crater Lake Route" was at tached and regular trips on schedule time were made to Eagle Point. ; Yesterday there was also a party of men In the city representing an other railroad company. An engin eer accompanied them to decide on the feasibility of a proposed route from the Cascades to the coast. One of tbe members of the party Informed a representative of Tbe Morning Mail that they bad nothing definite to divulge at present, at least until two other parties arrived from the Bast who were Interested, which would be In a day or two. As near s The Morning Mall could learn, liowever, this company la wholly In dependent of the Hill or llar rlman Interests, and Is being financed entirely by European capi tal. It Is generally accepted tbat Hill and Harrlman control the finan cial markets In New York to the xtent that any competing line at tempting to secure financial assist ance would have hard sledding, and that la the reason that this company as been financed by European capi tal. That the Hill and Harrlman In terests have been obstacles In the way ot development ot Independent lines on tbe coast Is patent to every body. Tbey have been acting the part of the dog In the manger right along. Now that a railroad can be financed by foreign capital, Indepen dent ot the financial markets of New York, one great obstacle In the way of railroad development has been re moved. Work on financing and perfecting the plana for building this road has been going on for some time, inde pendent of any action being taken by other railroad companies, and it id only a matter of a few days when oomethlng new In the way of rall Toad news something but few have been expecting will be given out to the public. For the present, the Informant of The Morning Mall states, all that can be said is that It Is certain that the road Is to be built at an early date, the line to extend from the Cascades to the Pacific ocean, through Med ford, and the vast undeveloped terri tory west of here, including the ex tensive timber and mining districts. Where the tormlnua of the road will be on the coast baa not at this time been decided. SYSTEM NKKDS RKPAUIINA. Medford, Or., May 12. 1909. To the Editor: When tho holiday conies on the prudent ninchlnlHt of ten avails himself of the opportu nity of Investigating the marlilnery while the mill Is closed down. On such ' occasions he goes carefully over It all to see whether some parts are wearing or In danger of a breakdown whllo seeking to de vise Improvements that might be needed to better conditions. Likewise It is well occasionally In the social world to pause and exam ine Into the conditions that He at the basis of national life. Tha home Is tbe center of our social and na tional existence. The mother In our nation Is the center of the home. The ancient Jewa often spoke of mother as "home because the mother Is the home. The mothers of the future are the girls of today. The character of the girls of today Is a question graver than any econ omic or flsral question can be. The character ot the mothers ot tomor row roHts largely In the home train Ing and influence ot the mothers of today. The history of a growing girl Is determined largely by the way In which the time la spent between the hours of 7 p. m. and 10 p. m. each day. Home Influences exerted at that hour may dotermlne for weal or woe the future of our nation. Mothers, where are your girls In the evening of each and every day? Are they at home with you, with their music, their books and in the full confidence and enjoyment of the bliss of the household circle? If your daughters are away from you but an occasional evening, do you absolutely know where they are all of the time, and why? The dishonest and corrupt Influ encea of life ran capture no prise so dear aa young womanhood. Gold and silver and Jewels filched from the unwary brings not a tithe of the exultation that comes from the sub jugation ot an Innocent girl. The recent Investigations In the Juvenile court In Jackson county has laid this- matter bare. Tbe girl of 14 to 18 years on me streets atier nightfall Is regarded the legitimate I prey of vulture and harpy that think young womanhood a flower to be crushed under the grinding beel, thereafter to be cast aside and spurned. And charity aeeks often In vain for some means ot expending Itself effectively. China, India and Africa in turn receive our contributions tbat a race may be uplifted. This Is well. But let us turn from the telescope that views afar, to tbe microscope that reveals the myster ies at band, and we shall see a few girls at every village or town, and perhaps many of them In every city. all but homeless and penniless, or, worse still, quite motherless, buffet ed about on life's sea, bound for no port, adrift, and menacing the safety of other girls whose lives st some time come In contact wltb these der elicts. The home Itself should be again scanned by the thoughtful parent, and the thoughtful community should go over Its machinery of or ganisation, that the weakness may be corrected, if such peradveuture should be found to exist. VERITAS. MORGAN TO VISIT COAST. SAN FRANCISCO, Hay 14. Fol lowing his Investment of 1 10. 000.- 000 In California securities, J. P. Morgan is coming to the Pacific coast this summer, according to an an nouncement made here today.

Harrlman, It Is learned, Is going to make a trip to Europe In the near future with the Intention of bringing back $150,000,000 of foreign capital for bis railroads. Morgan's connec tion with this plan has not been made public, but It Is understood he Is taking great interest In the pro ject. Another proposition In which Mor gan will Interest himself while In San Francisco Is the contemplated erection of a Protestant Episcopal cathedral here.

Presi dent Taft's manner of economy in the purchases of supplies took prac tical form today when the executive order was Issued, the purpose of which Is to systematize purchases needed in common by two or more departments and to secure such sup plies at lower and uniform prices. The order creates a genernl sup ply committee, chairman of which will be the secretary of the board of awards.

There was evidence that bis mlud waa grasp ing at some greut prubleui, snd after holding her breath for two or three minutes she asked: "Has any one asked you to Invest in a flying machine today?" "Haven't seen anybody," be replied, with a start. "Have we gut a book on chemistry In the house?" "Not tbat I remember. You don't think ot becoming a chemist, do you?"

'Now. that's the way to talk!" ex claimed Mr. Bowser aa he row up and walked about with his hand under hi roattntla. "Those are about the first encouraging word you ever Raid to me. Ye. let hlalory get ready to do me justice, and I propose to make n few million dollars on the aide at the same time." "That will be nice. You apoke about t work on cbemltry.

Why not have our snow In the shape of warm and refreshing rains? In fact, whi not kp our temperature at Septem ber all the year round?" "But how can any human agency ae frjmplUh this?" aaked Mrs. Bowser, with a doubting look on her fine. "There's where the Idea comes In. ray dear that's where Bowser npiears o the stage. My first Idea wa to string a Hue of coal stove aero the country nlnrnt ten feet apart ami keep the atmosphere so warm that a cotd wave wonld melt on striking tt, but after figuring the coat I gave It up. It would take stoves nnd 10.- OOO.ono tons of coal, to say nothing of a million men to run the store." "It was a wlw move on your part to figure on the cost before carrying the Idea too far " Asks Far Advice. "Ob. I've got un ounce or two of brains In uiy head! I'm not making any plunges. 1 abandoned tho coal stoves, but not the Idea. If left to you. what would you any would take their placer "I haven't the least Idea." "Mrs. Bowser. I own' up to having held some fool 1k u Idea nnd to having made some bad bargain, but thl time I have Ft nick tt struck It for fame mid million. It's the greatest I grandest lt-n that was ever conceive In the human brain, nnd Bowser I ! the man." i "I'lraao hurry up and tell me what tt is," replied Mr. Bowser, who ap peared coualderably excited. Those cold waves must be met and stopited. They mut lie turned Into warm wave. There mut lie some sort of chemical compound that can be tired Into the air aud exploded and do tbe buttJiiCM. The plan I to sta tlon men five miles apart and ou the appearance of a cold wavo U-gin tlie shooting and turn It Into a balmy breeze. No more blizzard, no more cold wives, no more snowdrift. Why a ton of coal will last ti all win ter, and I'll be planting string lieaii In January! I've got the Idea, as you see. All I want now Is to Unit out just what sort of chemical compound Is needed and tlio cost of the same. "Most certainly I nil nil neither take In I'ncle Rain nor ttie Standard OH company. I pay all the exjiense and reap ull the profit, runners and others must come down so much per capita. Any farmer who won't pay a reasonable amount to have-summer nil tbe year round will come to grief. I'll let a blizzard alip In on his farm and freeze hi in up as tight as a drum." "Hlmll we get jieucll and paar and figure the probable cost?" "No. It the coat take care of Itself. The Income la ImmiihI to exceed the cost five times over. The only thing Is to find out what chemical l ue Don't you think our druggist could tell you?" 'tiood Lord, but what au as I am! Of course he can. It won't take him a minute. You sit right still while I run over to the store nud have a little talk with him. When I come I wick we may do a little figuring. If any one should happen to come In, mum 1m the word. I wouldn't have yon give away the Idea for a million dollar." Rebuffed fay the Druggist. Mrs. Bowser felt a bit conscience stricken when he had left the house. but at the same time she realized that heroic measure were needed. The family druggist had never hesitated to give Mr. Bowser his opinion on things. and he would not hesitate to do It lu this case. Half au hour went past, then an hour, then two. Then Mr. Bowser arose nnd turned down the gas and went u I -stairs to bed. Mr. Bowser had told hi story to the druggist while the latter wa putting up a iMittlc of coul'Ii sirup.

Standing to day In the mausolum where rest the remains of the late William McKln ley and wife, William J. Bryan paid a silent tribute to the memory of the man who twice defeated him In presidential race. CHildrri Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA The educational exhibit prepared by the city schools, under the In struction of Mr, Ruben P. Robinson, county school superintendent of Multnomah county, who has charge of the work In th, state. Is about complete and will be shipped the middle of the week to Portland ani Seattle, where It will be filed and Indexed and added to the educa tional exhibit at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition. Specimens of tbe work, covering a wide range of subjects, hare been placed In the show windows of the Deuel ft Kentner store, and hare been attracting wldo Interest. Mounted on sheets of heavy card board, 22x28, Is the work of each pupil, covering the regular lines of work In tbe various branches taught in each grade from the first primary up through the four years of the high school. The work has been prepared with out previous planning and repre sents, aa far as possible, the actual work done from day to day In the classroom. The specimens of com position and language work show that tt has been based on a practical study of tbe products and Industries of the valley, and that the pupil has been led to express in his own lan guage what be has seen with his own eyes. The grades visited differ ent orchards, farms and Industrial plants, where they were entertained with unfailing courtesy by the own ers, and every detail of the enter prise was explained to them. A pleasant half day's outing being combined with the acquisition of valuable Information. While some may urge an objection to breaking up the routine of tne schools In do ing this work, the teachers and su perintendent feel that no more Im portant work, from an educational standpoint, has been accomplished during the year than just this. The gain In written expression has been immeasurable, the powers of obser vation quickened and an interest In practical life aroused that must leave a deep and lasting Impress on the plastic mind of the child. The written work is illuminated by many excellent photographs of local scenes. The exhibit In scientific branches shows drawings of the apparatus and the employment of the best and most modern laboratory methods In reaching conclusions. The history papers, through the United States history taught In the grades, and the ancient, mediaeval and modern his tory taught in the high school, by means of carefully drawn maps, es says and stories on main topics and a correlation with geography show knowledge and nnderstandfng of the subject, and best of all, that habits of correct study are being formed. The drawing papers, and the art shown' In Illustrating the work In other branches. Is a constant sur prise when one's attention Is called to the fact that no regular drawing teacher has had supervision of the papers. Tbe free-hand drawing shows marked talent In many In stances, while the work with pen and pencil correlates all studies. The exhibits prepared by the commercial department cover, among other subjects, bookkeeping, com mercial law and penmanship, anil because of the practical utility of those branches, are of more than or (Unary Interest. The papers are nf uniform neatness and show a knowl edge of methods and processes lead ing to speed accuracy In attaining results. The high school papers In mathe matics cover algebra and geometry, plane and solid. The process oi' demonstration Is shown and embel lished by drawing, while the opera tions are clearly Indicated. Latin. German and English and American literature furnish material for inter esting exhibits that are models of neatness. The teachers and pupils have been Influenced In the preparatory labor by a contagious enthusiasm, and without doubt any loss ot time In regular study Is more than compen sated by the renewed Interest and widened horizon resulting for a new line of endeavor. At the Lewis and Clark fair, Jack son county had no representation la the educational exhibit, and the Medford schools are the only schools In the county that are sub mitting work to Seattle. The mafc Ing up ot the cardboard sheets Into volumes and then Into cabinets Is an encouragement by which tho work Is catalogued according to grade nnd Indexed so that the work of any Individual pupil In any branch can readily be found. The display can be seen In Deni'l Kentner's windows until Wednes day, and It Is hoped that every one Interested In the advancement of the city schools will make an effort to see the work. After the close of the exposition, the exhibit will be re turned and will become the perma nent property of district No. 49. The photographs which add so ma terially to the Interest of the writ ten work, are supplied by courtesy of the Commercial club.

Ac cording to the report received yes terday by Ueneral Superintendent Buckley, of the Harrlman lines, gross negligence is charged' against Conductor RiBley and Sldeinan Vin cent ot section No. 1, and against Engineer Webber of section No. 2. All three employes were dismissed from the service yesterday. As the first section ran out of West Fork the second section ran in and, according to the Tule of the road, stopped 10 minutes. Owing to the slippery condition of the rails the first section fell behind her time and was overhauled by the sec ond section. Noticing that the train was falling off, It Is charged by the board of inquiry the sideman should have got off and flagged the oncom ing train. The conductor shares bis blame for not ordering the sideman to do his duty. As the passengers on the observa tion car saw the approaching train, the board ot Inquiry held that Engi neer Webber should have seen that he was approaching the first section and slowed accordingly. He Is charged with negligence for not keeping a proper lookout. General Superintendent Buckley said last night that serious loss of life was averted by the action ot tbe passengers running forward and by the fact that both trains were run ning In the same direction, the sec ond section going but very little fas ter than the preceding section. As botb trains were running up grade, the rate of speed was not great. SALMON ARK PI-KNTY. SEATTLE, May 14.
