The lollowing are sent out by the Rail way News bureau ol Chicago : Last jaaron American railways one paasengor was killed in accidents out ol every 2,827,474 passengers carried. That is to say, that you can take a train 2,827,474 times belore, on the law o! averages, your turn noines to be killed. You will haye to travel 75,03,W3 miles on the cars before that turn conies, and 4,621,945 miles before you are injured. If you travel 20 miles a day lor 300 days in the year, you can keep on at it (or 758 years before your turn comes to be hurt. If there had been railways when our Savior was born and you bad begun to travel on the first day of the year A. D. 1. and bad traveled 100 miles in very day of every month ol every year since then, you would still have (n this rear 18981 nearly three million milea vet to travel before your turn came to be killed. The preUorinary report of the Inter state Commerce Commission for 1897 shows that last year the railways of the country paid $40,979,933 in taxes. All camoaniea had not reported, but com pared with the proceeding year tue re-1 port shows that on about 2 003 miles less of road in 1897 than in iftKStne rail ways paid about $3,000,000 more u.oa. The total dividends paid during the year were 157,290,579. Out of every 97 cents earned by the railways therefore, above expenses, 57 cents waa profit and 40 cents went la taxes. In the central south western states (Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Colorado, Oklahoma and Indian Territory) the taxes exceeded the dividends by nearly 13.000,000. In Tex as taxes exceeded,dividends by over one million. In New England and the north eastern stales dividends largely exceeded the taxes. The Raport of the Inte rtate Commis sion shows that last tue railways of the United States ca.nedovsr 13.000, 000.000 paasengsrsl mile. They also carried 95.000.000 000 tons of Ireigtt 1 mile. Tbe total amonnt paid in divi dends on stock waa $S7.608,371 call it tSS.OOO.COO. Of the total earnings of the railways about 70 per cent came from freight service and 3D per cent from pas senger service, Let us assume, men, that of tbe fSS.OOO.OOO paid in dividends, 70 per cent, u 141,600.000, was profit o freight seme and $28,300,000 was profit on passenger service. Let na drop frac tions and call it 162,000,000 from freight and $20,000,000 from passengers. By dividing tbe passenger profit into tbe number of passengers carried (13,000,- 000,000) we end that the railways bad to carry a passenger 500 miles in order to earn one dollar of profit or 5 miles to earn on cent. Their average profit. therefore, was less than twc-Uuths of a cent for carrying a passenger (and bis baggsge) 1 mile. What a tew foi signers bave said of American railways may be of interest : Li Hang Chang, tbe gteat viceroy of China, said: "Nowhere else m tbe world are there such fast aod loxurioos trains" as fn America. Marquis Yamagata, field marshal of Japanese empire, eaid : "Tbe speed, tbe comfort, the luxury of your railioads, is a marvel to me.' Prince Hilkoff, imperial minis' er of Russia, said : "There is nothing In Eq rop to compare with your railroads." Sir Henry Truman Wood, special re presentative of the British government to tbe world', lair in 1S9S, said that "nownere in Europe could there tie found such luxury in travel and sucb excellent service as are given on tbe railways of the United States." Paul Leroy Beanlieu, one of the great est economists of E a rope, wri'ee : "The continent ot Europe, by tbe bonds in which it has always held private enter prise, has been able to follow only with a tardy step the example of the United States, which nation has realised in its railroad system three ideals conditions, rapidity, efficiency, and a good market. while Europe enveloped In administra tive formalism was destined to attain neither ot these three conditions." It costs the Royal Baking Powder Company something liks $500,000 an nually lor advertisicg. Soma one once suggested, says an Exchange, to the company tbat it discontinue advertising one year, tbe baking powder was so well known and advertised, and place tbat a mount, $500,000, in tb. profit. Tbe ana wer was tbat it would undoubtedly cost three times that amount to gst it in tbe right channel again. This is pretty good advice to tbe bnsinesa men wbo imagine they make a great aaving when they discontinue a $4 or $6 a month ad vert is ment a few months in the dull season. It does not pay to tear out a dam be cause the water is low The matter bas been settled. Tbs Oregonian says Biager Hermann sbou d not be sleeted, because be has always been wrong on monetery and currency questions, tbat even Mr. Mitchell ie lo be preferred becanse be is a man of far more ability and energy. Will tbe Ore gonian please explain why it supported Mr. Tongue wbo bas been juet as un sound on tbe monetary question from the Orsgonians standpoint as M r . Hsr mann, bis 1894 argument as matter of tact never having been answered. The Portland and Astoria papers con tinue to quarrel over whether grain ships shall loaJ at Portland or Astoria, While the latter place Is making a big effort to become the shipping poiot of tbe stste the chances ars that Portland will retain Its prestige, and tbat ships will continue to come up the Columbia after wbeat. (From tbe Springfield Republican.) No one is criticising (Jen. Joe. Wheeler. Be seems to do everything exactly as it should be done. Tbe Impression ot alert nsss and msstsry of affairs that be gives to visitors at Mootauk, together with his fine record in Cubs, indicates that he would havs come out on top had the war lasted long enough. Moreover, be makes red-tape yield to human brother hood. The Washington hop box is just double tbe siss of t'e Oregon box. Thai is one way that state can get ahead of Oregon. Q lotaiU uiof prices for tricking though bave caused some confusion a moug people not understanding Wash ington's ntyle of doing things.

Beans are no on top In tbe national base nail tournament, with cys'ers sec nod and pork (bird. 1 A big, strong navy, but a small stand ing army Is the proper program and is the Dkhocrat's platform on this subject. Many mors have died from fever than from bullets since the war began, a fact that is uot at all creditable. The Democrats of New Hampshire have endorsed Mr. Bryan, expressinx their confidence In him, aud their ad miration, lor him, in which hund reds of thousands will unite. Peace loving people should back the Cxar In bis endeavors to secure peace for thu entire world. It is v-ry doubtful though if Lis proposition is treated with respect by some of the powers of Europe. Inject In England it is being received very coldly. notwithstanding the law against trusts there Is hardly a day paista that does not bring forth the suggastion of a new and colossal one of some kind. With the officers of the government In "cahoots ' nothing else can be expected The hnnter should be a generous and humane man. Us should not kill the bird too young for use. nor the bird too old to be eaten. It ie a fine thing to te a crack abot, but it is also a Hoe thing to h one and a ju one at the same time. There are over oae million people drawing pensions in the United States, a fact that staggers ens. Certainly no candid person believes there are that number ol people in the United States entitled to draw pensions. It is time that there was a weeding. Let the worthy have a liberal pension, but let it stop th.re. Camp Merrill Is to be investigated by the government, a proceeding many Oregontana will watch with great Inter est, as some of our boys havs been there. Tbeie is dsnger though of whitewash being used in their investigations, in fact tbe chances are that way. Camp Merritt has already been investigated by many and condemned. Back east General Miles and Secretary of War Alger are having a fair war of their own. While there will be co blood sbd there wilt be a great deal of bad feeling that will not help the Uni ted Slates any, as we, tbe people, bave to father these public matters in a gen eral way. At least it is one of the things that gives our country a reputa tion among the nations of the world, and by tbe time they get across the ocean tbey are ) exaggerated aa to re semble tbe Cheops of E.ypt. Tbe war being over, Sau Ffaociaco papers are now turning their altaotiou to sensational matters. Just now Mrs. Botkina, a woman, is receiving enough attention to make her as colon oat as Durrani. She is scented of poisoning some candy and sending it through the mails to some one in New Jersey, caus ing several deaths. Tbe circomsisnces effsr materal for many illustrations aod a great deal of matter about it. In tb. course of which the same stuff ie hashed and rebasbed until it becomes some what unsavory. But tbe big papers of the day bave to much space they bave to fill it and it takes mocb padding. After sensational development of tbe rottenness existing among tbj Eoglltb nobility as sbown up by Hooley, and as well as bas been illustrated on different occasions there should be no English paper that would dare to throw mud at tbe United Slates as tbe London Satur day Review, a prominent journal ot tbe metropolis ot tbe world, bas been doinfc. We give below a sample for digestion : "There are, of course, many worthy private persona in tbe United Stale, but what we bave to think of now are tbe people of that country as reprstsnl ed In their social, civil aod political customs. Socially it Is sordid to the last degree, and it court of law aod all its civil institutions are corrupt. It bas contributed nothing to tbe self-respect of humanity. Oo tbe cun'rary, it has shown all tbe worll to what a detb of public depravity civilizatioa is capable ot descending.' Scio. From tbe News.

At least there Is no longer much talk on the subject com pared to what there was a few weeks ago. In the matter of a peace tieaty nothing has been done becsuse Spain has been nnsble to appoint a commis sion. Internal dissension makes lt al most itupossib'.e to do anythiog. There fore it is a difficult thing to piedict tbe luture of Spain in any liue, whether in connection with her colonies slipping I rotn her graep or at home. .a, The principal comment lias been on the illness of so many soldiers on ac count of the unhealthy condition of tb cainp'ng places. The public is fero ciously reeking some ons lo blame. In such cases it is generally oecesesry to start at the head and trace the matter to tbe proper place. Mr. Alger from the present outlook will have to father more than anyone elsr. In this matter the government hss been very lax snd gross ly negligent. An individual who would do liknwUe won d be tarred and feather ed almost and iode out of tbe commu nity. The stale of Oregon this week has bsn visited by tbe grestett minister in tue united Mates, Air. Tsimsge, a tuau ot brilliant ideas and a fluent orator. He Is a clear thinker and a force in his field. In tbe meantime he is making big j money lecturing, which is entirely pro- per. Whoever potsetses talent should be paid accordiog to his genius. Locally thsrs has been great interstt in tbe opening of the Ciioeoe pheaaaot season in Linn county, thst is the sea son when the pheassnt may be legally kiKed and used for private purposes. Tbe result wss accordiog to custom a general slaughter ot the bird, and bund reds wsre brought into town and eateu. It is a fact worthy of note tbougb that so prolific is the bird that as fast as is the slaughter every season again sees the fields full of tbein ready to he shot by the festive NiniroJ. 0! all tbe biids tbe Celestial is tbe game.t and tbe true hunter Mods no greater pleasure than in hunting him. He doss it though in a sportsmanlike manner, sparing the squab, leering tbe aged atone and shopping at tbe limit, lis doe no pot banting, bnt gives tbe bird a show and displays his skiil jo bring ing bim down. Tbe pleasure iseobsnc ed by tbe quality of tbe game, for it is doub'.Iul it a more palatable meat is cooked than tb. breast (rote a Cbiosae pheatant, fit to Ht beloie a prince, a president or an editor. A Klondike letter tclliog about msny wbo went there Irotn this county leads ons to believe that there alii be very little gold brought frsm the froieu north to this part of lbs United States. .

Mrs. Nellie Humphrey who made a fortune in Dawson, dressing belles of the city, hss returned to Seattle. She made about $61,000 making and selling clothes to the women of the district, charging prices that would have staggered a worth. A returned Klondiker in Seattle re cently bad a whole lot of fun throwing money from the top of the hotel into the street for men to scramble for. A barber secured $11 but he came out of the scramble with his clothes nearly torn off his back. Tbe man bad so much fun tbat he has announced another dis tribution. Portland Telegram : Dick Burkman, who arrived at Kkagway from Bennett the other day, says the rush to the new diggings from the Chilkoot summit was, he believes, greater than it was over the bite pass, and tbe prices at Bennett lieat those paid at Dawson, very prob ably.
