RAILROAD WRECKS.
A
TERRIBLE sea disaster has oc
curred close at home and
brought Its thrilling grief and
apprehension to people of this
' and nelebborlng cities. We read of
,. these calamities at a great distance
with only a passing thought 6f pity,
- but when our neighbors and personal
friends are Involred, when the
calamity falla near our own doors,
we are atlrred by deeper emotions,
" and Tainly wish that we could alle
viate the suffering and console the
i sorely afflicted.
' The wreck of the steamship Co
' lumbla Is one of the worst disasters,
i according to present Incomplete re
ports, that hare occurred on the
': Portland-San Francisco route or off
this coast for many years, and the
' loss of life may be hearter than in
1 any wreck except perhaps one or
two since the Brother Jonathan went
' down with all on board, back In "the
days of old, the days of gold."
- --The greatest recent disasters
along the Pacific shore were the
' wreck of the Valencia, while trying
? to enter Puget sound, entailing a
probably larger loss of life, and un
... der even more distressing circum
stances; of the Rio Janlero, while
entering San Francisco harbor, and
of the Umatilla off the Siskiyou
', coast, all of them due to Incompe
tent seamanship and carelessness.
There hare been many lesser wrecks,
with a large aggregate loss of life,
but none of such proportions and
that came so heavily and nearly
home as this.
k The loss of the Columbia at, this
time, when the steamer service be
tween Portland and San Francisco
Is so Insufficient, Is In itself a dis
aster, but one that sinks Into Insig
nificance beside the loss of bo many
precious lives. For them thousands
will mourn, with whom tens of thou
sands will sincerely sympathise.

without wine or clgara. Besides this
there Is a first supper at midnight, after
the SDecIal entertainment provided, and
the second supper at 6 or In the morn
ing after dancing, which easily brings
the total for eating and drinking up to
(8.000. Add another ii.ooo ror nowers

I had with a man at the head, of ona of
the largest dreaamaklng eataDlianments
In the world, with branches In London,
lariB, New Tork and. naturally, New
port. We were standln near tne casino
at the fashionable hour. - It was the
height of the season, and beautlfuy
gowned women were arriving every
moment for the music and tennrs. There
they were before us in gay and con
spicuous groups, the much talked of
and entiled society leaders, dressed to
be looked at and admired. And admlr
inr aa baflt.ed. we vroceaded to dts-
cubb them, ray companion speaking with
the authority of a creator and dispenser
of styles.
"Taken collectively." ha said, "they
are the smartest gowned women In the
wona.
"But not individually?" I asked.
"Individually they sometimes lack
distinction and the note of personal
taste. They dresa too much alike." i
but as they had separate trials one

owners of the roads are greedy of

WHILE CRITICISINO the rail
roads let us be fair enough
to ' admit that they have
troubles of their own, chief
T 'among which is the near-monopoly
'. of the steel trust, fortified in Its
monopolistic position by the protec
tive tariff. It Is no wonder that Mr.
- Harrlman and some other railway
magnates are suggesting that tariff
revision Is in order. It has been
supposed that thla suggestion was
prompted by a desire to divert pub
lie attention from the railroad ques
tlon, but aside from this the rail-
: roads are pretty tired of the steel
. rail monopoly. The railroads have
always so far stood with the pro
tected Interests, because along dlf
ferent lines both were "working" the
v people, and If they are pulling apart
It Is a good sign. Discussing the
question of poor rails, the Railroad
, Gazette says:
' Tha present attitude of the United
States Steel Corporation la not unlike
that of its principal predecessor In the
,. daya when money getting wes his sole
object and possible enforcement of law
. and penalties for violated contracts con
; stltuted his restraint. His not Infre
" quent smiling answer to Indignant re-
: monstrance was: '."Why didn't you get
" It from me In writing?" Or, in other
eases: "Look at the penalty clause;
- there's your liquidated damages." The
attitude of the rall makers, while not
i precisely comparable, has a like result
of tonnage, reckless tonnage. Ignoring
the Increasing losses of life and prop
, arty due to bad tonnage; relying on the
restraint , due to the power to divert
.traffic from any one railroad to prevent
any one railroad company from Insist-
- In on gaod tonnage; relying also on Ita
, arrangement with foreign makers for
restraint , 0f competition, sustained by
tha United : States protective tariff of
about f 7 a ton.
- For a while the trust was deaf to
complaints. But when orders began
to decrease it began to make ex
''cuseej first,,; that loads were too
? heavy; Hextthat the railroads
. wanted cheap "rails, and if they de
manded better ones they would have
- to pay more. - In recent years "the
, greed for tonnage and Its profits,"
gaj-s the Gazette; "has led to lacreas
' Jng adulteration of the product, and
'this is made possible by an undue
protective tariff joa. imported rails,
-as well as lay control of an enormous
traffic which ran' be diverted from

If the popular belief was correct
It would be interesting to know
whether the free man entirely es
caped punishment, though he es
caped the gallows and the peniten
tiary. And If Innocent, how unjustly
and fearfully has not only the man
who has served a dozen years In a
penitentiary, but aUo the other,
whose reputation as a probable mur
derer, the mark -of Cain, has fol
lowed him about the earth, been
punished.
Dealing out Justice is a doubtful
and often a very unsatisfactory busi
ness, but our Judges and Juries and
governors generally do the best they
can, and the many mistakes that are
made must be rectified, If at all, in
a higher court than exists on earth
and among short-sighted mortals.
Such terrible disasters have come to
be considered a matter of course,

gravity. Water flows down stream
and cannot be made to flow other
wise. The perfection of traffic con
veniences will force freights to fol
low the ' same law. The constant
concern of railroad experts is to at
tain the highest efficiency so that
movement of traffic is reduced to
minimum cost. The fraction of a
cent saved per mile In an Immense
volume Is the profit of the business.
Heavy rails, enormous locomotives
and water levels are the perfected
means of minimized cost.
When nature split the Cascades
asunder - with the Columbia and
seamed western Oregon with the
Willamette, she planned a city. She
fixed Its site at the point, where
these two river basins meet'. . From
every point in 250,000 square miles
of matchless region, It. is a gentle
down grade until this siteis reached.
By that unalterable rule that New
ton discovered when he saw the apple
fall from the tree, by. the unchange
able forces under which everything
moveable seeks a lower and not a
higher level, by the Immutable
fixity of natural laws that never
swerve or change, the city' at this

hla business aptitude and acumen built
up a successful and prosperous business,
and he also established and developed
an Institution which has probably done

met ln a room ln St. Paul's Churchyard
and founded a society for Improving
the spiritual condition of their fellows

A Kangaroo Postman. -The
following appeared in tha Syd
ney Bulletin some few years ago. While
traveling by mall coach from Eohuea to
Swan Hill (so relates the writer) we
were traveling over Mr. S.'s station,
when I saw a fine kangaroo standing by
tha side of a tree. Pointing It out to'
tha mail driver, he told me that was
Mr. S.'s post carrier. He had caught
It when just a baby, and had taught it
to do several duties upon the station;
one of them waa to meet the mall coach
on 'mail days, "for the homestead" was
some distance from the mall track,' and
bring 4he ' weekly papers home. The
mail driver putting them on the ground.
It would ooilect them and put them in
its' pouch. - On the side of the tree was
fastened a letter box. If there were
any letters the driver would put them
inta It. and before putting the news
papers 6a the ground for the kangaroo
to collect he would write on the outsldn
"litter," thus acquainting Mr. S. if
ha had aAy letters to collect, Which was

Tucson Defends Heney.
From tha Tucson Cltlsen.
Much local Interest attaches to tha at
tacks made upon Francis J. Heney In
tha Los Angelea Times, based upon Mr,
Honey's alleged record ln Arlsona.
For reasons of Its own the Los An
geles paper has raked over the ashes
of a long dead and almost forgotten af
fair which occurred nearly 20 years ago
ln Tucson. At the time the Heney-
Hand duel was a cause-celebre. It waa
ona of those deplorable affairs where
ona man found It necessary to take the
life or another, in seu-aerensa. jsye
witnesses to the meeting exonerate
Heney, as did the coroner's Jury. Handy
was a man of violent disposition and
had repeatedly threatened to kill Heney.
That hla threats were not to be taken
lightly can be testified to by many now
living in xucsog. it is proDame tnat no
one retrretted the necessity for the
shooting more than did Mr. Heney.
As an indication of the feeling In this
section there may ba cited a telegram
sent to the Times br Hon. R. R. Rich
ardson, of Patagonia, Immediately after
the publication of the "Arizona record"
story. It read as follows: "Los An
geles Times, Los Angeles, Cal. I am a
friend of Heney. Sm-eckels. Burns and
good government. Your complete switch
against good government makes your
paper disgusting. Stop mine. Heney
has 60 friends in Arlsona to ana nis
detractors have."
