unless they should escape farther intd

shape of four pieces of fuse, each' as is
used in exploding dynamite cartridges.
Ajound these pieces were wrapped the
business cards of a laundry in Matt"

cynical humor of a remark once dropped
by Conant is. becoming appreciated.
He was a free spender Of money, and one
evening, while he was playing billiards
at the Palace hotel here, , a , bystander
asked him : "Where do yon ' get so
much money? You don't seem to
work" for it." "Oh," he eaidVwith a
langh,"I have a patent air brake for stop
ping trains, which. I've been out intro
ducing, and its a great success." When
asked what he had been doing " during
his absence this spring he said: "Iv'e
been over the mountains introducing my

that his patent air brake consisted of a

- Parliament Opened.. ...
London, Ang. 9. The Queen's speech
was rea-i to parliament yesterday. The
speech said. that, as the business of par
liament was practically completed be
fore the dissolution under -the procla

for parliament now to continue the ses
sion at this unusual period of the year
Hope was expressed that when" parlia
ment meets at tlie' customary season it
will again direct attention to measures
of : social arid,- domestic improvement.
The last portion was greeted with groans
by the liberals. Barton, -conservative
member for Midarmagh, moved an ad

Our regular corresnondent at Fossil
says the fire, of which a full account was'
published last, week-, has accented the
wish of the people for a system of water
works there, The only, wonder is that
the whole town was not destroyed.
Preparations were immediately begun to
rebuild most of tho burnt district.
Eugene H. Evans of jCrook county, a
prominent educator, was in Fossil last
week, on business connected with.4lie
schools. Fossil has a .enviable reputa
tion for good educational advantages.
which it wilt do well to guard against
losing. Prof. T. T. Donoho, of Hood
River,, will make an application for the
principalship at Fossil.

Blffalo, Aug. - 9." AU parties inter
ested in water transportation will be
edified by the statements of Edward P.
North, concerning the operatiohs-of th
Erie canal last year. Mr North says: -"Although,
on account of tbe - practice.
of vessels going up - light, only about
30,299,006 tonB of freight were trans
ported during - the 'Beason. They were
carried an average distance of 266 miles ; -so
that, multiplying- the tons carried by
the distance in' miles, we have more,
than seventeen thousand - million ton- -
nilcs, or a freight distribution equal to
almost one-fourth' of the ton-mileage of
all our railroads. This lake . freightage
has been done at an average charge to
shippers of 1.3 mills per ton-mile.. The"
shipments by railroads, "on the con
trary, are averaged by the - Interstate
commerce -commission at 9 :22 mills per -ton-mile;
so that there was a saving on
each- ton transported by this water-road
over the average' charges by" railroad,
for an equal, distance of $14.48, or an
aggregate saving, to-be divided between -tho
producers and consumers-of this
country, of more than $135,800,000. As -'
the government has appropriated not
quite $ 30,000,000 for the improvement
of the great lakes, their harbors, and ;
the rivers that run into them, the"peo
ple of this country received,-through the
cheapened ' distribution made- possible -by
thisexpenditnro in the single year of
1891, four and a half times the total
cost of the improvements ; or, to state
the advantages of --this improved water
way in another "way," the" cost " of lake
freight was six and one-half, per cent. Of
the value- of - tlie goods transported ; .
whereas,' if they had been transported.'
at; the average charge for ;' railroad!
freight, the cost would have been fully
forty-six per cen. of their, value: "- This;
percentage would have obviously "taken'"
so large a part of the value of a consid
erable proportion of the goods that the
labor and profits of their production
and distribution must have been lost to
the community, ' if dependence had .
been placed on'railroads alone ' . -
