WORTHY OF FAVORABLE CONSIDERATION.
The writer having resided in this, a railroad division
town, for a number of years is familiar with some features
ef railroading, wherein for the safety of the employee and
the traveling public alterations of old established rales
and regulations should be and is being demanded. One of
the alterations of the present regulations most needed, it
appears, is the shortening or limiting of the hoars for
actual service performed on the road, it aot being infre
quent that men are on duty from fifteen to thirty-six
hours, the fatigue from which renders them physically un
fit to perform their exacting duties. With the object of
remedying this one important matter, Senator Malarkey
has introduced Senate bill No. 60, providing that in order
to protect the traveling public, the hours of labor of con
doctors, engineers, firemen, brakemen, and flagmen shall
be limited to 14, and in esse an employe returns from
nine hoars' service he shall not be sent out again until he
has had nine hours' rest.
Thy is a just and humane measure and worthy of the
favorable consideration of both branches of the legisla
ture. It is an established fact that any employe who has
served more than 14 hours continuous duty is physically
unfit to have charge of an engine, train, to flag or protect
trains, to receive or transmit train orders, to have charge
of or be responsible for the lives of a train load of pas
sengers. To fall asleep for a few minutes at a critical
time means a head-end or rear-end collision, resulting in
the maining and killing of scores of people. This cannot
be called carelessness, there is a limit to any man s en
durance and when the limit is reached it is well nigh im
possible to stay awake. It can be readily seen, should
this bill become law the lives of the traveling public are
thereby greatly protected. Many lives are sacrificed
through railroad employes being compelled to work ex
cessive hoars, and therefore, the Plaindealer believes this
bill should receive the united support of all Senators
and Representatives.
MITCHELL WILL DEMAND INQUIRY.
On the floor of the United States Senate Tuesday Sena
tor Mitchell said among other things: "It may be
thought or said by some that I have violated precedent in
coming here at this time, but let me tell you, Mr. Presi
dent aad Senators, while I am subject to serious charges,
I have not been proved guilty of any of them. I am an
innocent man, and I have at this stage of the proceedings
the same right as any other senator to come here in de
fense of my character, which is as dear to me as that of
any other senator on the floor.
''Were it proper at this time to ask an investigation of
the charges against me by this body, I would gladly move
in that direction, but in view of the fact that an indict
ment has been reported against me, I deem it my duty to
first respond to the claims of the court. But jl trust and
believe that the time will come when I can with pro
priety demand of this senate a thorough investigation."
Criticising public officers "who knowingly misconstrue
the public acts of public men, and thus seek to distort and
convert them into badges of dishonesty." Mitchell said:
"In conclusion, permit me to declare that the repre
sentatives of any government who will tolerate this are
unworthy of the exalted position they occupy.
"As for myself, I defy them here and now to produce
any evidedce worth a moment's consideration which will
connect me in any wrongful manner whatever with any of
the land frauds in Oregon or elsewhere."
Speaking of a full page picture of the Queen of Sheba
and Kinar Solomon in the last issue of the War Cry, the
Salem Journal says: "The picture represents the (jueei
of Sheba coming to old King Solomon anxiously search
ing for the wise article a queen in search of wisdom
She is a stunning, fine-looking woman and old Sol is sitting
on his throne wrapped up in solemnity and a yellow horse
blanket with a red border. His whiskered majesty fairly
drools with wisdom, hut we would not be afraid to bet
that there are forty young women hanging around the
Urezon legislature who would not have to iro to old Solo
mon to get wise and some of them could come pretty
near making a fool of the old man. The War Cry ought
to know that women of today have outgrown Solomon.
If these land faud investigations are being conducted in
good faith with a view to relieving the government of an
organized conspiracy to defraud it out of its lands, all
good and well, but if it is, as it appears, a scheme to put
prominent state politicians out of the way and persecute
homesteaders, while the syndicates and railroad com
panies go scott free, it is no less than an outrage.
Roseburg has a broom factory with a capacity of fifty
dozen good brooms everv dav. and keeps a number of
men busy at good wages. Such enterpriser are of great
value to any town and the more of them Western Oregon
has the better off she will be. truthfully says the Eugene
Register in commenting on the I'laindealer's write-up
the Roseburg broom factory.
Instead of building a new asylum building, would it not
be just as well to change the law a little, and not makt
so easy to send old people and hysterical women to the
asylum? A reputable physician says that 'about one-third
of the people kept there at the expense of the state are
not insane by a scientific definition of the term. Salem

George C. Brownell is the author of a bill which will
provoke keen controversy. It provides that all judg
ments shall be accounted dead after 1 years. Six
months after its passage is given to judgment creditors or
assignees to issue executions which might have issued in
case the bill had not passed.
The Plaindealer's circulation is increasing rapidly. It
publishes more good, live, readible news than any other
Southern Oregon newspaper every week. It is also en
terprising, aggressive and fearless, with fixed principles
and editorial opinions to back them up.
This is an unusually good time for starting into the dairy
business in Oregon. The scarcity and high price of feed
due to last summer's drought has discouraged a good
many who are in the dairy business and it is therefore a
good time to buy cows and dairy farms, says the Rural
Northwest. It is also a good time to buy prune orchards
provided they are in good condition and have been in the
habit of bearing in favorable years. A prune grower of
many year's experience said a few days ago that in spite
of all the failures his prune orchard averaged for the
past eight years larger returns for his work than be
could get from the land in any other way. This would
not be the case in sections where failure of crop is the
rule.
Washington's newspaper libel law has been repealed by
a vote of 38 to 3 in the legislative assembly at Olympia.
The difference between leading and following, the dif
ference between success and failure, is all in favor of the
man who does the right thing at the proper time. The
proper time to increase your business is now. An ad in
the Plaindealer will do it.
Thos. K. Xiedringhaus, was elected 1". S. senator from
Missouri last Tuesday to succeed Senator Cockrell. The
Missouri legislature therefore proclaims the first republi
can senator from that state in 30 vears.
A Salem paper says: "It is purely accidental, of course.
but hard on the members, that two of the handsomest
members, Vawter, of Jackson and Flint, of Washington
should occupy seats together."
Senator Cockrell will lose his seat as a result of the
Republicans capturing Missouri. President Roosevelt has
appointed this sterling old I'emocrat to a place on the
Panama Canal Commission.

Talking about grafting and grafter?,
after hearing Jas. Mewland relate the
following story, which he declares is
the truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth, we believe he is entitled
to the blue ribbon : "In the spring of
1896 we were butchering a pig just at ap
ple grafting time. My brother, who was
helping me, cut off the pig's tail, and
threw H 00 the ground. It attracted
mi attention and mv mind beintr full
of horticultural schemes, I immedi
ately took it while yet warm, inclosed
it in a tube of fresh apple bark taken
from a Bailey Sweet apple tree, and
using the whole as a scion, I grafted
it into a vigorous Ben Davis tree
standing near the cow-barn. To my
astonishment, the scion - grew. It had
a peculiar look from the start, and I
was greatly worked up abeut it. v hen
it bore, in 1890, I was delighted to find
that each apple contained in place of
the ordinary core, a fine pork sausage.
The tree has borne abundantly every
other year siuce, and we have had
baked sweet apples and sauage to our
hearts' content. The onlv drawback is
that the xausage lacks seasoning, bin
1 am experimenting now on a line
which 1 think will entirely remedy that
small defect."
After a careful examination made of
the clothing and woundH indicted on the

er, who was found dead in l'ilkington &
Hristow's blacksmith shop last Monday
morning, three of Koeolmrg's physicians,
Coronet J. C. rwitchell and lrs. E
RsjCSsj and C V. Fisher, tound that not
only was deceased wounded in the
breast, but that the same b'tllet had
penetrated the right forearm, while that
limb was held up Itefore deceased as if
to guard against a blow or a saolt.
After passing through the arm the bul
let entered the right breast alout an
inch from the center, pierced the body,
coming out of the back directly opposite
where it entered, the bullet being found
sosnewhnt battered in the clolhini; near
ilsexit from the Ixxiy.
The side of the face and head was
also discolored, but this might have
been due. to the fall to the lloor of de
ceased after the shooting.
The peculiar attitude which must have
leen assumed by deceased at the time of
the shooting leads to the general belief
that he met with foul play, though the
motive remains a mystery unless it was
on account of the knowledge he might
have had regarding tiuiberland locations
in this county, he having worked for
and operated with GniJnrt and ItcCroe
sen, loth of whom" have been convicted
anil fined on a charge of changing corner
stakes and who tiave been detained in
Portland for some time past as witnesses
in the timber fraud cases.
The inquest and inquiries continued
all day Tuesday and up to midnight
Tuesday night yet not a single state
ment was uttered by any of the wit
nesses that would lead to the slightest
clew to the identity of the party or par
ties who committed the alleged murder.
