From Termo.
It Is reported at Xnakevlew, Or., that the
Nevada, California & Oregon Railway Is
about to put engineers In the field to
survey the proposed extension from
Tormo to LaJcevJew. The -work of grading-
the roadbed and laying ties will be
gin without 'delay and rails -will be put
down as "last as they, can be pbtained
from the mills. The eonipany lias rails
lor 19 niiles of road and -will have to
wait on the factories lor the remainder.
It expects to be supplied about July 1,
and to have trains running into Like
view hy Thnaaksgiving.
The Nevada, California & Oregon has
been built from Reno, Nev., to Termo,
CaL, -a distance of 13(r miles. Much of
the territory through which it passes is
not profitable. It has good country for
10 or 15 miles south of Termo and the
northern stretch to Lakeview is capable
of furnishing large traffic.

A. VAST TROLLEY SYSTE3I.
Kerr Yorlc and Philadelphia, to Be
Connected hy an .Electrical Line.
NEW YORK, April 5. The World prints
additional details regarding the incor
poration at Trenton, N. J., of the Phil
adelphia, Trenton & New York Railroad
Company. Says the World:
Albert I. Johnson, the trolley magnate,
has taken formal steps toward realizing
hJs great project of building and operat
ing an -electric road between this city
.-and-Philadelphia. The terminus at this
end of the line will be on Staten Island,
unlets he gets through his project of
building a tunnel from the City Hall un
der the East River to Brooklyn through
the latter borough and under the Nar
rows. The Philadelphia, Trenton & New York
Hailroad Company has been capitalized
at $500,000, hut this is regarded as only a
beginning. The Johnson Syndicate al
ready owns the trolley line running be
tween Princeton and Trenton, and also
the Upper Delaware River Bridge. The
latter was acQulred when the syndicate
recently got control of the New Jersey
Street Railroad Company- The lines of
the Trenton-Princeton Road will be ex
tended within a few weeks to New Bruns
wick, and from that point to the Staten
Island Terminal over a right of way
which has already been obtained hy the
Johnson syndicate.
It is the purpose of Mr. Johnson to
charge a EO-cent fare between this city
and Philadelphia, which Is a small frac
tion at that charged by the steam rail
roads. He intends to compete with the
Jatter. .not only in passenger traffic, but
in the hauling of freight. He already
has ln'operatlon a vast system of trolley
lines running out from Philadelphia,
"which connect about 60 towns in the Le
liigh Vaney, and he declares he will ex
tend this system until he gets into the
heart of the coal mining district of Penn
sylvania. Part of Johnson's plan to get a tunnel
road from Staten Island to the City Hall
is his offer to carry passengers from Man
hattan to Brooklyn or Richmond bor
oughs for a 3-cent fare.

tem. The actual consolidation of the two
roads, with one general office and one
set .of officials, Trill, it Is said, take place
some time next Fall. President Winchell

Discrimination in Lumber Rates.
NEW YORK. April 5. The Interstate
Commerce Commission, composed of Jud
son C. Clements, of Georgia; Charles A.
Prouty, of Vermont; James D. Yeoman,

Illinois, and ex-Judge Martin A. Knapp,
Of New York, chairman, was In cession
in this city today, to hear the protests of
New York lumber dealers who obtain their
lumber from West Virginia and Ohio
against -what they deem the discriminating
freight rates of the Norfolk & Western
Railroad. These rates, It is claimed, are
much in excess of those charged by other
lines that have a less direct route from
the shipping points. Robert W. Higbie,
a lumber dealer of this city, told the com
mission that the Norfolk & Western
charged from G to 7 cents more per 1000
feet on shipments of oak and poplar lum
ber than did the Chesapeake & Ohio, the
Baltimore & Ohio and the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western lines.

Southern. J. Pierpont Morgan is the re
puted backer.
CINCINNATI, O.. April 5. All the gen
eral officers located here deny the report
of the amalgamation under the J. P. Mor
gan syndicate. This consolidation has
been .frequently agitated In connection
with the pending renewal of a lease of

lines whose general offices are here deny
that there has been anything done that
tvIII warrant the announcement of consol
idation, or even terms for it.

Clark Gets "What He "Wants.
CARSON, New, April 5. Some weeks
ago the Union Pacific Railroad filed a
protest in the United States Land Office
here to prevent Senator Clark, of Mon
tana, from using an old right of way and
grading in Lincoln County, Nevada, for
his proposed road from Salt Lake to Los
Angeles. The right of way was graded in
1893 by the Union Pacific, but was aban
doned and bid in by the county. The
property was not redeemed. The decision
of the Land Register today gives Lincoln
County title to the grade and right of
way. This virtually gives Clark all he
asks for.
Bought hy the Short Line.
SALT LAKE, April 5. The statement
telegraphed from New York last night
by A. W. McCune that the Oregon Short
Line had bought the Utah & Pacific road

Greed of Nations.
New York Tribune.
Some of the nations demanding indem
nity of China display the greed of hungry
Siberian wolves, their monstrous rapacity
threatening the failure of pending negotia
tions. The influence of the United States,
and probably of England, may be counted
on in favor of moderation and equity. For
the rest It seems unsafe to offer any pre
dictions till "all the returns are In" and
the extent of their demands is made
known.

MANY TANGLES ON HAND
SECRETARY OF INTERIOR OR FOR
ESTRY SYSTEM IS LACKING.
Much of Trouble NoBo'ubt Due to
Vain Clerks Case "Which Illus
trates Shortcomings.
WASHINGTON, April 3. One of the
first things the Secretary of the Interior
should do, when he gets squared away
for the four years under the second Mc
Klnley administration, Is to stop a min
ute, look over the field under him, and
see If he cannot straighten out several
of the many tangles that exist in the
various branches of his department. At
tention has already been called to 'some
of the shortcomings of these bureaus.
There. seems to be an endless string of
malpractices going on under the very
eyes of the Secretary, however, and noth
ing is done to correct them. There is
either a general misunderstanding of the
laws governing this office, or there is an
Inexcusable inability to interpret these
laws. r
A case In point arose not many weeks
ago, when a miner having rich holdings
in one of the southwestern territories,
found himself suddenly shut oft from the
use of public timber as fuel In' developing
his holdings. Several years ago this man
left an adjoining state, purchased the
copper mine In its infancy, and after ex
pending much money, and time developed
a rich producer. There is no coal to be
had in that vicinity, except at fabulous
prices, and wood is generally used as
fuel. So It was at this time. All at once,
however, one of the great forest reserves
was established in that section, whlqh em
braced the mine In question, and no soon
er had the reserve been declared, than
down pounced a forestry official, who
forbade this mlneowner from cutting any
more timber, it being within a forest re
serve, and could not be had except by
"special authority."
Without discussing the laxity In creat
ing a reserve which embraced a large
area valuable only for mining, It may be
stated that this miner made repeated at
tempts to secure premlssion to cut tim
ber from that land, for use as fuel in de
veloping his claim. He was buffeted about
from one forestry official to another, but
could secure no permit, and meanwhile
work was completely cut off. His mine
remained Idle over a year. Correspon
dence with the Department at Washing
ton was finally resorted to. But to no
avail. All sorts of ridiculous construc
tions were placed upon the law In the
premises, and repeated appeals failed to
bring about the desired result.
Finally, In desperation, and as a last
resort to save himself from becoming a
bankrupt the miner havinc invested his
all In the one claim, came on to Wash
ington, at considerable expense. His
claim being located in a territory, he had
no Senator to fall back on, but called
upon one of the Senators from the state
from which he originally came. This par
ticular Senator, while not an administra
tion man, has for years been Identified
with National legislation, and western
affairs generally. He has time and again
expressed his deep disapproval of the con;
duct of the Interior Department, particl
ularly as concerns the public lands and
forest reserves. He readily consented to
present the distressed miner to the Sec
retary, which he did, and then withdrew.
"If I had stayed longer I would have lost
my temper, and done your cause more
harm than' good," he afterwards ex
plained. After presentation to the Sec
retary, the miner laid his case before the
Department. The Secretary called in
first one and then another bureau chief
supposed to be fully posted on matters of
this character, and after a long confer
ence, a permit was finally Issued to the
miner to use timber from his own land,
In the development of his mining claim.
The Secretary did not know, how to act
in this matter. He did not know what
authority he had, and some of his sub
ordinates were as much at spa.
There is certainly something wrong
with a forestry system which makes it
necessary for a mlneowner . to suspend
business, and undertake a trip to Wash
ington, Involving time and expense, in
order to secure a permit to use timber
from a forest reserve in developing a
mine Improperly Included within that re
serve, or even properly Included. This
could be done as well by correspondence,
and even by the local forestry officials.
The facts In the case are the same,
whether presented In person or by letter.
The equity and justice Is not dependent
upon actual presence of the parties af
fected. This particular shortcoming bor
ders on snobbery, but in fact is probably
due to Ignorance on the part of high offi
cials, and a feeling of magnified impor
tance on the part of underlings. The af
fairs of several departments, particularly
the Interior Department, are left largely
to clerks. Most of the decisions of this
department ' are written by clerks.
Swelled up with their Importance, they
often fall Into errors, which are not de
tected by the heads, and the heads in
turn become responsible. This is a con
dition which should be rectified, and at
once. This is but a particular instance.
There are hundreds of others equally as
bad, and many of them even more to be
denounced. The Secretary has a Hercu
lean task on his hands if he is to set the
Interior Department on a sound, con
sistent and thoroughly business-like basis.
It may be said, however, in this con
nection, that Assistant Attorney-General
VaiJdevanter, the man who draws up the
more intricate decisions signed by the
Secretary of the Interior, Is a man apart
from all others In the Interior Depart
ment He Is one man who understands
his business, and it is a notable fact that
decisions written by him are always, with
out exception, sustained by the Supreme
Court if taken to that tribunal on appeal.
Mr. Vandevanter is thoroughly familiar
with the duties of his office., He per
forms his own work, writes his own de
cisions, but before doing so, looks care
fully into every legal point involved. As
a result, his decisions stand. Of course,
his position Is one with little authority.
None of the administration of the de
partment falls to him. He is a man en
titled to higher recognition than he re
ceives. Aside from his abilities as a
lawyer, he Is possessed of that keen ex
ecutive ability which is so much needed
in higher places. He Is now the brains
of the Interior Department, In many
ways, but gets little credit for his labors
and his superior knowledge and ability.
Judge Vandevanter is a man to be heard
from in the future. His own capabilities
will bring him to the front, if political
recognition falls short
Check and Deposit System in Austria-Hungary.
In an article on- "The Deposit and
Clearing-House System of Austria-Hungary"
in the March number of Sound
Currency, Professor Parker Willis, of
Washington and Lee University, presents
some interesting facts as to the rapidly
growing use of deposits as a medium of
exchange in Austria-Hungary Taken as
a whole, the development of the check
and deposit system here has progressed
much further than in Austria. The sys
tem in Austria, however, owing to the
greater concentration, presents some as
pects of this form of - credit currency
more clearly than they can be seen here.
For example, the Austrian Postal Sav
ings Bank, w.hich is described at length
by Professor Willis, has a "check and
clearing" service which operates through
the various postoffices of the country.
The depositors in this branch of the
bank are enabled to carry on a great
many transactions through its agency
alone. It Is as If a person at Rochester,
N. Y., having occasion to pav a siim to
another person in Nashville, Term,, could
do so by merely turning in a check for
the amount at the Bochester postoffice
the central postoffice promptly placing the
sum to the credit of the proper party at
Nashville, and sending each party an
appropriate notice of .the transaction, ac-
companled by a statement of his account
as it stands after the .transactl&nis .en
tered. Where both parties are depositors,
the matter is thus settled without any
transfer of money at all, since everything
is done within a single institution instead
of through a number of independent
banks, as would be done vhere.

The largest animals yet discovered in
the John Day beds are the giant elotheresj
relatives of the living hog; ranking amoYig
the largest known mammals. The skull of
the specimen at "the Urtiversity oLCaUfor
nia measures about 30 Inches in length,
and numerous fragments of other skele
tons indicate the existence of much larger
individuals. Judging from 'what -we know
of the skeleton, the elotheres fmus have
attained a length of over 10 feet and a
height of six or seven feet. Probably few
animals have existed that were -better
able to protect themselves than tvere

since perished from the earth, leaving no
direct descendants.
No les3 strange than the creatures that
have been mentioned appear to us the an
cient representatives of several groups of
animals which now inhabit parts of the
earth remote from Oregon. Remains of
near relatives of- the rhinoceros, the cam
el, the tapir and the peccary are well
known from these deposits. The rhinoc
eros is now confined to the eastern hem
isphere, and tapirs are found in South
eastern Asia and South America, though
they range Into Southern United States.
All this goes to show that the present dis
tribution of animals has no more been
permanent from the beginning than were
the physical conditions in any given local
ity. m
An Unfortunate Indian.
Harper's Magazine.
The City of Little Muddy, on the Upper
Yellowstone, was an exceedingly wide
awake town in 1SS7. When it had reached
the mature age of three months, every
kind of business man was represented,
except the cigar dealer, and the next
week a man from Chicago, named Stark,
opened a tobacco store, with a large,
gaudy, and aggressive wooden Indian in
front, holding a tomahawk savagely in
one hand and a bunch of cigars in the
other.
It would take a chapter to tell of all tne
trouble Stark had with that wooden ab
original. This variety of sign was raro
In that region, and gentlemen not uncon
nected with the stock-growing industry
who came in from the ranges wearing
spurs and weapons would resent his
threatening attitude: for that matter, no
Indian, even the most peaceably disposed,
was popular. He was knocked off his
pedestal half a dozen times a day. Stark
learned to know wnat naa nappeneu
whenever he heard a dull crash in front,
and would step outside and restore hia
fallen warrior.
But the red man did not meet his Wa
terloo till Tobe Hartley and friend, pre
served to us under the name, of Long
Isaac, came in from the Lightning Nest
neighborhood. A close friendship existed
between these two worthies. It was their
first vacation from the ranch for several
months. They wandered about town in a
receptive mood, and sought to enjoy their
visit. No facts are extant concerning
their condition after some hours, but we
may, perhaps, be allowed our suspicions.
Finally, they separated, and Tobe, com
ing along to the Indian, and not noticing
his upraised hatchet, sat down at his feet
to rest He soon fell asleep and sank
lower. At this juncture Isaac came around
"SO DROWSY."
When Trne Natural Sleep Comes.
Actual changes take place In the little
corpuscles of the blood, and these cllanges
nre brought about by changes In our
habits. For Instance, the coffee habit Is I
said to produce a tnicKenea condition 01
the blood, that is, under tne miscroscope
the little round corpuscles show apparent
fibers, an unnatural condition, which
moUoo trmihlo with the heart In cases of
coffee poisoning. It also affects the com-
, , ... .!., K.lnnrlnrf rn ViaoTf rltc-
ease In some cases, and stomach and
bowel troubles are common with coffee
drinkers.
"Coffee treated me very badly. Indeed.
I got so I could not have a good night's
rest, and had not for five years. My eyes
and complexion were duller than my
mother's, who was also a great coffee
drinker. ?
Physicians told me I iiad acute kidney
and bladder trouble; I was nervous al
most to the verge "of hysteria, and my
memory failed me. I had! grown jso thin
I was little more than a shadow, and peo
ple were continually asking me how much
younger my husband was than myself.
(So comforting to a woman, you know.)
In truth, he is five years my senior.
Well, as a forlorn hope I left off coffee
and took up Postum Food Coffee about a
year ago. I soon .became so sleepy that
I could scarcely stay awake long enough
to take care of my baby. I did not real
ize that I was sleeping naturally and
making up for lost time. Finally I got
pretty well 'slept up,' the drowsiness dis
appeared, and I felt a decided improve
ment in health. In three or four weeks I
was quite well and only needed to regain
my flesh and complexion. I waited Very
patiently for an Improvement In these
conditions, but it was about five months
before I was rewarded, then an almost In
stantaneous change took place, and my
complexion became clear and rosy. I
gained In weight quickly, and friends and
neighbors commented on the remarkable
change.
I have been constantly growing better,
and now am feeling in finer condition
than ever before in my life, and I can
surely say that I owe it all to leaving off
coffee and using Postum Food Coffee.
My 16-year-old sister, like myself, drank
coffee from a child. For the last four
years she was able to go to school only
a e part of the time, and the doctor said
she should not study at all. I induced her
to quit coffee, and now her bright eyes
and freshr fair complexion show the re
sult." It -will be noticed that it took some
months before this woman secured the
result she wanted in the matter of com
plexion and flesh. The change from cof
fee produces a change In this particular
-within a month usually, but It Is evident,
in her case, that it required time to change
the corpuscles of the blood, and that when
that change was made the recovery was
very rapid.

a simple bunch of cigars, did you!" he
cried. "Well, we'll see about It!" and he

In the Schlitz brew
ery cleanliness is car
ried to extremes. We
do more than is neces
sary to be certain of
doing enough.
The caldrons in
which the beer is
brewed are kept scru
pulously clean and
covered. The air in
which the beer, is
cooled is filtered.
The barrels in which
it is stored are cleaned
with steam and soda,
then glazed with rosin
on the inside, then
cleaned again. The
bottles are cleaned
with utmost precaution.
Stillwe filter the beer,
then sterilize every
bottle, for the slightest
uncleanliness taints
the whole product. It
is in these ways that
Schlitz beer has gained
its reputation for pur
ity, and made Milwau
