What -will the Northern PacMo receive
from the Harrlman interests for allowing
Union Pacific trains to enter Seattle
over their lines? This Is' question
local railroad men ' are trying , to , solve
and various answers hate been given :
New York dispatches have -announced
that the b Union Pacific would operate
ever Northern Facmcr tracks Into Seat
tle, but have failed to show what bene
fit the Northern Paciflc Auld get in re
turn lor this (considerable peace , oftee
ing. - '- r r ; r . '
. Local agents of the Northern Paclflo
have received no definite- Word oj what
wilt be the concessions" granted their
line by the Harrlman Interests, but they
are one in saying thfttjhe most proba
ble benefit will be to allow ...Northern
Paciflc trains entrance Into Portland
over; the O. R. & N. tracka sonivWal
lula junction. ' , i ,-'
That is the only thing" I. see that our
road can want' said, one of, the load
ing Northecp Paciflc .trafflo men ot the
city today, '"'and that la probably wht
will occur. VThls matter has been ru
mored ; for" two "or' three months and
our people generally have believed that
such an arrangement would , be made.
New York advices 'today confirm part if
our theory and the rest will soon fol
low. 1n mv eoinlon. ' r -. ? t t
"This will . benefit Portland Immeas
urably since most of the wheat from
the greatest grain district In the coun
try Is now hauled from Eastern Wash
ington over the Cascade mountains to
Tacoma and Seattle. The climb r from
Ellensburg to" Tacoma Is something
fierce and It would be easier to send
all . the traffic originating In Eastern
Washington via Wallula end - Portland
to the sound, than to haul it by the
present route. But any time those wheat
trains pass through , Portland without
unloading and shipping from here to the
Orient the city will be asleep, and I
look for a big boom in shipping busi
ness here whenever- tiie Northern Pa
cific begins operation from ' Wallula
Junction, and that will; be almost per
tain to come whenever' the Union Pa
clflo runs over our line to Seattle." "
SIDEWALK WORK
MUST BE UNIFORM
The city engineer has been working
on a system of reaching an equality In
the method and character of street and
sidewalk Improvements, and the changes
will be incorporated .into the statutes
1 as amendments to the present existing
ordinances. The necessary alterations
have been carefully figured out and will
Insure a sameness which has heretofore
been lacking. -v.-
When the changes are effected the
quality thickness and other character
istics of all street or cement walk work
must be up to exact standards. In the
past this has been left to a great extent
to .the individual testes or desires of
the contractors. Naturally it has re
sulted in some difference Ha 'the work.
for one contractor would think one
stylo the best, 'while another would
think .exactly different. . Of course, in
all municipal- contracts, the plans and
specifications have covered the kind and
quality of material for certain Jobs, but
there has been too much leeway allowed
the contractors In the opinion of the
"officials. They felt it would be best for
the city and best for everybody to make
the ordinances so uniform and certain
that there could be no misunderstand
ings hereafter. 1
A copy of these changes Is now being
drafted and will be presented for adop
tion soon. ., . - , '

' Kalama. Wash.. Dee; 22. A short time
. ago one of Kalam's cltisena who, by the
way. Is a strict temperance man, but
blessed with a very jolly and boisterous
manner, was wending his way through
the streets of Castle Rock, en route for
his hotel. Attracted by his loud voice
and rollicking laugh, Marshal Price ar
rested' him for drunkenness. Our
worthy citizen at once proceeded to con
vince the marshal, by the "laying on of
hands, that he was entirely sober. This
he did In a most scientific manner. Some
little disturbance was created over the
matter which brought forth the follow
ing letter from our citlsen . to the
county paper:
"Ed ltor it KalamsT-E-BulletlnSlrr-As
your paper and the Oregonlan have al
ready given considerable notoriety to
the little encounter I had with Marshsl
Price of Castle Rock, please allow me
to publicly express my opinion of the
"perllce force" of our sister city. It
seems to me-that when the councllmen
of Castle Rock appointed as marshal a
man who- can't tell a good-natured pro
hibitionist from a disorderly drunk.
they placed a dad-burned low Price on
the office; for there are 'possums In Ar
kansaw that far outrank him intellec
tually. It Is a menace to the .safety of
the women and children of Castle Rock
for that man to be armed with the po
liceman's club, and allowed to run at
large on the streets. He evidently was
conceived in somebody's bark yard In

j '. The Tramp. . .
Mrs. S. C. Cook ot Kalama has in her
possession the original- of the following
bit of verse, which was t found in the
socket a dead tramp .'more than SO
years ago. The tramp was discovered
frozen to death in a vacant house near
St. Charles, Mo. : The, house was owned
by Mrs. Darnell," grandmother of Mrs.
Cook and it had been unoccupied for
about a year. "The tramp had evidently
wandered in for protection from the
storm and built a fire in the fireplace,
but not having a sufficient supply of
wood, his fire died down and he was
froxen. He was found crouching In the
ashes of the hearth:
I'm a broken down man without credit
... or casn, .
My clothes are all Uttered and torn;
Not a friertd have I got In this wide,
dreary world, r ,:
I wish I had never been born. .
They tell us go work for our living
And not through this wide worm to
' tratrib.
And when 'we rbR for. employment.
They say there's no work for a tramp.
I have tramped this wide world over,
Sleeping "out on the ground, cold and
damri,
Stared in the face by starvation,
O pity the fate or a tramp:
The other, day on the B. & C'road,
An old man tired and footsore. -
Saw an empty box car standing stUl on
the track. .-.- ..
He got In and closed up the door.
He bad rode but three miles in the
empty box car.
When the brakeman came round with
his lamp.
He was thrown from his car and killed
by the mail, ,t "'
Because he was only a tramp.
Kind friends you . .must always remem-

Everybody you meet Is no scamp,
For there's-many a true heart still beat-

Beneath the old coat of a tramp.
The time will soon come when the rich

Will both be laid low In the earth.

HOHOB KEMOHT Of JOSEPH SMITH.
(Journal Special Rnrvlce.)
Salt Lake City, Dec. 23. Among the
Mormons .everywhere, t there were held
today celebrations which might be com-
pared to the Christmas celebration of
Christendom. . This Is Joseph Smith's
birthday anniversary; and the observ
ance of it and of - Brigham Young's
birthday are official holidays of the Mor
mon church. In the evening- interesting
exercises are held at all of the meeting
houses of the faith, differing little from
the customary Christmas celebrations.
The program consists of.musio and of
discourses on Joseph Smith, his life and
works. The story is told of his birth
in 1805 in a lowly farmhouse among
the mountains of Vermont, his alleged
discovery of the sacred plates and his
subsequent, "revelations." the story of
his subsequent -, career, in which he
founded the Mormon religion, and hii
tragic death in Illinois. At the taber
nacle today all-day exercises were held,
with addresses by a number of promi
nent , speakers, " The . musical service,
which was on an elaborate scale, was
chief feature of the program. ,. ,
