American communities and a new commonwealth; And how well, how patiently and cheerfully, '15 most cases,. we knew or may discover. While Oregon, in soil ' and climate and resources, was kind to them, they on their j part did much for. the Oregon of then, of today, and for all the future generations of. Orcgonlans. It seems sad .to see the old pioneers falling and falling, . and to know that we shall be able not much longer to welcome these interesting and lovabie old women and men, but since age and decay and death are laws of life, there to no occasion or Uara or gloom. They have had a long day in which to work, and more Interesting and enjoyable experiences than the most. "And In the eve of ' life, fchould it not be a pleasure, untlnged by any melan choly colorings, to review jnentally and verbally among themselves and with younger people, those early scenes and. experiences? Though the way was toilsome, and the life sometimes perhaps seemed dull, who shdU say surely that they did not really enjoy life as well as their children and )he later Immigrant do? Would not most of us give a year or two out of our lives to be able to live the pioneers lives of 60 or 60 years ago?. , It is well.'a good sign, that so many people, even young people, sincerely Ilk to meet and greet, mingle with and minister, to theso old pioneers.

Vgf HAWTJT.OBVB IS rOFITLAS. : i Richard Le Galllenne, in the July - Success. ': Hawthorne's style, at its best, is one of the most perfect media employed by any writer using the English language. lallnx. as he usually does,, with an Immaterial subject matter, with -dream like Impressions, and fantastic products tf the Imagination, It is concrete with ' out being opaque ominously concrete, one might say. No other writer that I - know of has the power of making his , fancies visible and tangible without impairing their delicate Immateriality. If auy writer can put the rainbow into . words, and yet leave it a rainbow, surely :' It is Hawthorne. Most writers having to treat euch ma terial as the favorite material of Haw thorne, would fall back upon the im pressionistic method, and bint rather than embody and I am for a moment depreciating the value of that method. At the same time, it cannot be denied that of the two methods it is the easier because to suggest is so much easier than to describe, and no little Impres sionism is simply clever evasion of vis- -' Ual responsibility. Hawthorne, however, is no such trickster. No matter bow subtle or volatile ia the matter to b ; -expressed, his imagination is so pa tiently observant and his literary skill . so answerable to bis imagination, that he is able really to write so close to the spiritual fact as to leave nothing to be done by the reader except to read. . Often, as one reads him, and anticipates ; some approaching matter peculiarly fine and difficult, he wonders how the au thor can possibly put this Into concrete words. . . .Tet again, it la not a little inter esting, even surprising, to note-how In effectual Is this delicately powerful ar tistic equipment when employed on ma - terial which, so to say, has not been ancestrally prepared for Its use. There are whole stretches of Hawthorne not , merely .flat and uninspired, but posl : tively amateurish. In this respect he re minds one of Wordsworth, who, at one moment is a master, and the next an absurdity. V .-f." sat qvit amons XsTOX.

According to this story, Quay assented and requested that they summon Sen ator Penrose at once, so as to acquaint film with : the . dying senator's wish. . Penrose left Philadelphia that night in response to the summons, but when he reached Beaver the next morning Quay had lapsed into unconsciousness. Meantime, however. It la said. Rich ard R.

Prom the Chlcaxb Record-Herald. Official announcement has been made that on June 10 th entry of tne uouio system into Pittsburg will become an accomplished fact. by the operation of the first regular train into mat city from the west over the Wabash road. The railroad and financial worlds have been somewhat staggered at the prodi gal expenditure of 178.000,000, esti mated, by the Goulds with a view of reaching th country -"richest tonnage storehouse. The apparent disregard of expense Is Illustrated by the construc tion of 10 miles ef road between Mingo Junction, and Jewett which is the most costly and In many respects tne mon remarkable stretch of railroad in the world. . In order to get an sir line and a low grade road through the mountains, and thereby reduce the cost of transporta tion below that necessitated on the Pennsylvania, about $8,000,000 was used in hniMine- this 20 miles of road. Be tween the points named the road literally springs from, bill to nm oy means oi enormous fills, some of which are 100 or more feet deep. In the 10 miles there are eight tunnels, nve- concrete arcn culverts, each of SO-foot span, and 60 large fills. ' -i. , , One fill I.S00 feet long required more than 1.000,000 yards of earth, and a total of 160,000 barrels of cement were. used in otirrai arches and piers. The max imum grade Is only IS feet to the mile, and there Is not a curve over three degrees.' So nearly straight has the road been made by disregarding every obstacle nature has opposed that it is1 possible to stand on the west side of the first Ohio tunnel and look through It across the trestles and over the bridge and through the tunnel In the West Virginia hill. The longest tunnel is the Hanna, 1,600 feet In length, and the shortest the Oliver, ISO feet In procuring the expensive air line a number of country roads were aban doned and new and costly ones con structed in their stead by the railroad eomnany. and the courses of two moun tain Streams were changed so that their swollen torrent . might not be a men ace In floodtlme. Not a single mile of the road is without Its fill or out and of the former there ar if, ranging from 109 feet long to three-quarters of a mile, and from 20 to 100 feet deep. AoJCfigs rthe farms In the valley some remarkable viaducts had to be built some of them 70 feet high and 700 feet long. An idea of the heavy and substantial construc tion required is gathered from a con crete arch at the foot of Chapel hill It Is a 60-foot span with a "barrel" 180 feet long, the entire culvert containing 17,000 cubic yards of concrete and 20, 000 barrels of cement the largest single mess of oonorete tn the form of an aroh in the world and costing 1115,000. When It Is remembered that there are few examples of railroad construc tion which have cost as high as 1100,000 a mile, and tnat tne average cost is probably nearer 600,000, while ordinary railroad construction does not average half the latter, there Is a realisation of the dogged determination . which has marked the Goulds' advance to tide water. During the paat 14 months over 400 timber-claim notices have been pub lished In the Glendale News, with pleas ure and profit to the proprietor. A miner took a clock that would not run to a Baker City Jeweler, who found the trouble to be a big woodtlck in the worka The clock had the wrong kind of a tick.

George Welse, in the July Success. It may be interesting to know that within Russia's domain the Standard Oil company is meeting some of the most serious opposition of Its long life of plunder. This giant trust supplies over 90 per cent of the foreign demand for oil. It has competed with tne large oil interests of Russia, which are con trolled by the Rothschilds and the Nobel Bros, but it has never overpow ered them. This is due to the Russian laws regulating foreign trade Interests. The Standard Oil company controls the export price everywhere in the. world except within the limits of Russian ter ritory, where competition has not been stifled. Russia Is Just as rich, in pe troleum produots as Is the United States, and hut for the power of the Standard Oil . company they would be supplied to America by Russian pro ducers. Russia protects her oil indus try by a 200 per cent tariff: the United States puts oil on the free list The czar Is not responsible for this state of affairs, i The power of the Roths child carried it into effect These as tute financiers pictured to the bureau cracy the infinite horror of an American trust slowly eating it way into the very center of public recognition by sup plying a staple article at a fluctuating price. The Rothschilds told the bureau crats that if the Standard Oil company should become as powerful in Russia as in America It would only add to the ever-burning fires of internal mistrust and rebellion in one way or another. For that reason the Russian government created the high tariff -and permitted the Rothschilds and the Nobel Bros, to almost monopolise the oil Industry, , v xjoaov AaPEro'g A tnouK, ' . .
