Greeley Reports Immense Increase
in Commercial Business.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 25. Brigadier
General Greeley, chief signal officer of
the Army, has Just completed a thor
ough inspection of tne Alaskan tele
graph system. The tremendous increase
in commercial business handled by the
lines gives an indication of the grow
ing importance of Alaskan trade. In
the past two months telegraph tolls on
commercial business have amounted to
more than $32,000, while the cost of
Government business on the linos dur
ing this time exceeded 520,099. Many
thousand code words were transmitted
without a single error during the -15
months the wireless system In Alaska
has been in operation. The competi
tion between Governmental, commer
cial and press buslnews on the Alaskan
lines has developed to the point where
a new system to expedite business nas
been demanded.
General Greeley was impressed with
the necessity of improving the quar
ters of the men in charge of the Alas
kan lines, and will .take this matter up
at once. This work' 1b attended by
many hardships, but the record of th
men on duty thero is regarded as ex
ceptionally good.
Eighty miles of line Is being rebuilt,

OTTAWA, Sept. 25. The Department of

consult the imperial government before
talcing the step. If the answer from Lon
don Is favorable, four julck-flring three

PHlLOSffPHY IS
PLAIT'S CURE-ftLL
Aged Senator Not Perturbed
by Criticism of His
Public Acts.
WILL STAY IN HARNESS
Feeble In Body, but Active In Mind,
He Will Xot Rust Out Con
demns Hasty Judgment
of Public Men.
CHICAGO. Sept. 25. (SpcclaU-i'Phllos-
ophy, my boy," said Senator Thomas C.
Piatt, of New York; today, as his special
car. Courier, rolled out of Joliet for Chi
cago "is the cure-all of every evil life
has. When discontented with any situa
tion, philosophize, think it over, be Judi
cial with yourself.
"You can't have any too close commun
ion with yourself at any time. Vhen you
arc able to talk to yourself freely, and to
analyze things, you are a true philoso
pher. Contentment and happiness will
then be yours. I'm a philosopher."
Mr. Piatt arrived in Chicago from Kan
sas City and left this afternoon for New
York. He thon will have completed a
Western Journey of more than 11.0CO miles,
in which he looked over every property
in wtolch he and his associates are inter
ested. Will Xot Rust Out.
Mr. Piatt's body ifeeblc. His invalid
chair is at his command in bin private
car, but his mind is extremoly active
and his eyes bright and clear. He was
willing to talk on some subjects, and Mrs.
Piatt listened Intently to every word-he
uttered. Jn response to a query as to his
health, he said:
"I am on my way back to New York,
to be Just as active in the affairs of that
state as I evor have been. You had an
editor in Chicago who once said.' I believe,
that he never intended to rust out. He
was right. I don't intend to rust out. I
mean to be active to the last minute of
my life, and I rather think that I have a
number of minutes left.
"My mind never felt better, and I am
returning to my duties. in New York glad
that I have seen a great vision of this
wonderful West and that I know more
about the United States "than I ever did
before. My habit of philosophizing has
enabled joe to as-rstlatc th& knowl
edge I have gained and I recommend
philosophy to you.
Don't Talk Back; Philosophize.
"The newspapers sting a public man.
Some of the things -they print are true;
many never should be published. How
are you going to face it. since you can
not successfully reply? Philosophize. You
hold public office and your , motives are
impugned, although you may have tried
to be honest with every Interest Involved.
My advice is not to talk back, but to
philosophize. Reason it out with yourself
and, when you are satisfied that you have
done ail you can. done all that Is fair to
all, be content that is the secret of con
tented living that I have learned through
a long life." S
"You do not mean. then, to quit your
active Interest in New York politics?"
was asked.
"I have no reason to," replied the Sen
ator. "New York Republicans were never
better united than at the present time
and, as I have said, I do not mean to get
rusty. I shall be in the harness until my
work is ended."
Too Prone lo Bellpve It.
The Senator's attention was called to
the revelations in connection with the
New York Insurance companies, bat he
was guarded in his comment.
"We are too prone to believe III of any
one or of any enterprise. If anyone sets
afloat a suspicion." he said. "That is
something, as Americans, we have got to
correct in our natures. I don't believe In
shielding wrong, but at the same time too
much slander Is now afloat in regard to
many legitimate enterprises to be good
for the whole country. I believe in care
ful deliberation before I form a Judgment,
and that Judgment is not going to be
formed on gossip.
"The general financial prosperity of the
country never was better. Through the
parts of the West I have covered I found
people not only making money, but satis
fled with the Government. Few Instances
of dissatisfaction reached my ears.
Public Judgment Too Hasty.
"If you arc going to publish anything
of what I have said to you," continued
the Senator, after a pause, "make this
plain: That the whole American people
need to be more calm in forming their
Judgments. They have been too hasty in
the past. While bad men may have got
Into public life, as they do in private life,
every public man is not a bad man. and

Just to the public as well as to the other
Interests they may represent.
"My wife and myself have received de
lightful courtesies on all of this trip, and
I have been glad to meet and know more
.than I ever did before of your great West.
You are building a remarkable empire

Railways Are Rushing Their
Lines Into Reclamation

LARGE FREIGHT TRAFFIC

Portland, but at Present San
Francisco Has a Monopoly
of the Business. . :
With work on the first section, of the
Klamath reclamation project already au
thorized and to begin very soon, a tide
of homesceKers investigating the opportu
nities of that fertile district of Souhera
Oregon and Northern California, railroad
builders are alert to the traffic prospects
of the region, and it Is certain that rails
will soon replace the freight wagon and
the stage for transportation of products
and passengers. Estimates place the cost
of the Government work at approximately
Ji.OCO.OOO, and It is a conservative estimate
that the investment of private capital in
development to follow speedily from data
of beginning reclamation work of con
struction will exceed tHat amount. This
will largely be paid out for labor and ma
terial, the worklngmen coming from out
side, and supplies for a small army of
men and livestock to be brought in from
the outside. It will be no small Item to
haul JS.OOO.COO worth of traffic into the
country by wagon and offers substantial
Inducement for effort of railroad man
agers' to complete lines In order that a
share of the traffic may be reaped In
earnings of the railroad first to tap the
country.
Will Begin Work" at Once.
A. H. Naf tzger, president of the Califor
nia Northeastern railroad, recently incor
porated to take over the franchises and
rights of the enterprise founded by The.
Weed people to build a railroad from
Weed, on the Southern Pacific, to Kla
math Falls, 22 miles of track having been
built by the Weed Lumber Company, and
now transferred to the new corporation,
announces that the road will be Jauilt
wloutfleJIav. Contracts are to be lt
lmny.diately for building the first section,.
nnt5(the company has Inducements in tmt
irra of a bonus of $100,000 in cash and
lands guaranteed providing the line is
completed to Klamath Falls before March
1, 1S07. President Weed, of the Weed
Lumber Company, who negotiated the rail
road project, also secured the franchise
for an electric railroad for the town of
Klamath Falls, to be completed and in
operation within one year after comple
tion of the railroad p that point. These
Inducements are believed to be Incentives,
as guaranteeing In the bonus interest on
the cost of construction during the first
period of stress that new roads sometimes
have difficuly In surviving, while the
heavy traffic of material and supplies that
must be taken into the country give as-
aurance of earnings for this or any other
.road that will soon connect Klamath Val
ley with the outside world. From Weed to
Klamath Falls the distance Is 90 miles, 70
in California and 20 In Oregon, so that the
California Northeastern has about 70 mlles
of track to build, a portion of which is
expensive.
Klamath. Railroad Toq.
The Klamath Railroad, connecting
with the Southern Pacific at Thrall,

miles, is nearest to-Klamath Falls, and

ley" 1bT president of the Klamath Lake
Railroad, and has been closely Iden
tified with the section for ten years.
He was impelled to build the road by
reason of the magnificent forests of
yellow and sugar pine, vast In extent
and untouched, thatxwver the eastern
slope of theasgades .south fromCra
ter Lake. Following up the Klamath
'RTver from Thrall, the road has one of.
the best passes of the southern por
tion of the Cascades. It has been
built well and for all time in the por
tion completed for 30 miles, with the
exception of the summit, where the
1 divide la crossed by switchback at an
jaltltude of 4350 feet, which will be
abandoned when a tunnel is driven
through the backbone of the range.
Pokegama, - the present terminus, is in
the edge of the timber belt, and from
that point "to Klamath Falls no diffi
cult construction is presented' and the
expenditure of perhaps $500,000 would
complete a line that might reasonably
be expepted to repay the sum In hand
some dividends. ' Mr. Llridley Is un
derstood to be- In readiness to extend
the line xat no distant date, and this
will probably be the first railroad to
operate trains Into Klamath Fall3.
Every Grade Is Found.
At present mail, freight and express
matter for Klamath. Lake is transferred
to stage and freight lines connecting
at Pokegama. The road- touows up
the river, and Xor 22 miles Is through
the pine timber belt, in which there is
hardly a quarter section through
which a logging railroad could not be
placed by laying the ties and rails, so
even Is the topography, though, of
course, slightly rolling There Isno
underbrush, and theclean pine forest
is one of the most attractive in the
country, cruising high. At Keno. 12
miles below Klamath Falls, is the pres
ent limit at navigation from Lake
Ewauna, the small lake at the north
ern end of which Is located Klamath
Falls, which is fed by Link River, a,
mIie and a half in length, which drains
Upper Klamath Lake, the source from
which is to be drawn the water for Ir
