According to B. N. Baker, of Balti more, formerly a Commissioner ap pointed by the President to investigate transportation conditions on the Isth mus, Taft is in favor of Government operation of the Panama railroad, but Jacob M. Dickinson, Secretary of War, is opposed to it. Baker quotes Dickinson as saying he believed the Goverment had no right to use the Panama railroad in competition with the transcontinental lines: that no Secretary of War would have the right to do so without authorization of Con gress. Taft’s Cabinet seems to be full of corporation lawyers disposed to raise legal objections to anything and every thing that makes for the public welfare as against the interests of the railroads and other monopolies. After a time some of these same Cabinet officers may argue that the Government has no right to use the overland railroads: that canal charges should be so regulated as to leave the railroads free from actual water com petition by way of the Isthmus.—Ex.

Th? telephone and telegraph were called into service without result until late Tuesday evening when the car was discovered hidden in the brush near the Barron ranch at the base of the Siski you mountains. Not enough gasoline to get over the mountains is evidently the reason for abandoning the machine. FOREST RANGER EXAMINATIONS An examination to fill vacancies in the ranger force on all National For ests in district 6 will be held October 25 and 26. From this examination it is expected that 75 appointments will be made on National Forests in this dis trict. The examination will be held at the headquarters of each National Forest in the district, among them the follow ing places: Eugene, Grants Pass, Lake view, Medford and Roseburg. While the examination is entirely along practical lines, and knowledge of held conditions rather than book learn ing is considered essential, the oppor tunities for those applicants with edu cational advantages are considerably increased. The rapid development of the National Forests is making con tinually iucreasing demands upon those engaged in their management, and men with ability to assume responsibility and serve in supervisory capacities are in demand. These more responsible positions on National Forests are filled by promotion from lower grades, so that anyone entering as a ranger is eligible for promotion to any of the more responsible and higher paid places, including that of forest supervisor. Only those men who are at least 21 years of age, not more than 40, of good character, temperate, and in good physical condition are eligible to take this examination. The salary paid to beginners is $900 a year. Applicants can obtain information concerning the examination from the district forester at Portland, Oregon, forest supervisors, or the United States Civil Service Commission, Washington, D. C. Pumps, motors, and other machinery have been ordered and the work of ex cavating the tunnels at the city well will be begun next week. The work will be done by days’ work under the direction of the city council, a competent foreman being placed in charge. Part of the machinery necessary for the work is already on the ground and as soon as the balance arrives the work will be commenced and pushed forward rapidly to completion. The bonds for the waterworks are advertised for sale Sept. 29th and it is expected thkt they can be readily dis posed of at par or for a slight premium above.
