Dec. 15. One would bo lea to believe that home rule would soon rule the families in this vicin ity, it the number of births has an thine to do with It. The shoo-round dance was in force here last fall, hut since the fops have been freezing Into coats of Ice all over everything it is called half-soled dancing, and costs about as much n the former One of the prettiest little home Christmas trees in Milton last night was in the parlors of Tot Ropers, it was iiven by Mesdamt. llnron n J.

It's stranpe that some people act as tney do. when if they would stop for a ujinme ana tninK they could see ainerent. Just as quick as a case of some contagious disease makes its m a neignoornood a half dozen families want to stop school, and raise a great big howl if if isn't done, and keep their dear lit tle one out: but if there is a dance, a party or a Christmas tree or any thing else under the sun going on, parents and all the kids are there Not only there, but all over tthe country and to all the towns nearby where all these diseases are. and where 05 per cent are caught. We see children every day standing in front ot a iuar antined house talking to some ol Its inmates that wont go to school tor lear of smallpox or scarlet feM.. What foolishness. We have yet to hear of a child in Oregon, Washing ton or any other state that ever caught either of these diseases in a j scholihousc, and don't believe lhat , rnyone else ever has. Some of the rchools in this section have dropped off 50 per cent within the last month, luining their schools and having rmallpox just the same. Wake up and send to school; get the small pox and die. or an education and live, for with an education you can live or die intelligently, peacefully and con tentedly, but without you might die but you could not be a contented cit izen.

Short Summary of Expenses at One Umatilla County Station. I People often complain of the high freight and passenger rntes charged ly railroads They do not think or the onHiises attached tn the nncr.i. tion of a railroad. I There Is a helper station on the O. K & N. at Kamela which is a fair Il lustration of the enormous cost or carrying on the traffic of a large sys tem of rathoad. Tiles? helper engines do not haul tiains over the road Thev do not cam a direct and specified amount by hauling; a train from one end of the read to the other, but are an extra ex pense attached to the hauling of reg ular trains For one month the actu al expense of these three helpinc engines maj be footed up as follows: Salaries of sl engineers at J13.'. S10 Salaries of six firemen at $S1 . . 4S(i Salaries of two wipers at $50 .. 100 Salary of one operator at $C0 . . CO 1M0 tons of coal at $5 per ton (normally) 5.000 tabor, handling coal mo Repairs (under normal condi tions 100 O" 100 Total jSi766 This is not an expense of one month in the year, but a continual drain year In, year out. The public is not fully Informed as to the enormous cost of operating railways. The freight and passenger tales seem rather inadequate to some! or the ast expenditures that. are made. A new locomotive costs fiom I5OP0 to JSOIV) and more armnl. Ing to make. Wrecks constitute aj large part of the expenses, and are1 a clean Io.s to the company. From j the track department to the books of me presiueni s onice a railway sys tem Is a most wonderful, complex bus iness.

"It is more blessed to give than to receive," seem ed to be the moving spirit anil high ideal of the Christmas services in this city. While no less demonstrative and general than in past years, the services seemed to take on a new significance, and one well worthy em ulation everywhere. A number of trees were given and exercises held at the various churches and socle ties, all apparently with one Idea prominently pointing a moral. The children of the city were asked to bring to the trees presents for the poor, consisting ot money, lood or clothing, and at each place a large amount of provisions and some money was secured. It took several dray-loads yesterday to carry all that was secured to central place for distribution. In some of the churches no presents were allowed on the trees, but each child was given nuts and candy In abundance. The presents were piled at tne base of the tree, and later ra- moved for the benefit of the 40 or 60 families now In the city in straight ened circumstances. Yesterday, through the efToit on the part of the churches, and the Salva tion Array, each of the poor families were given enough provision to last nearly a month. Mrs. Kuhn, of the Salvation Army, struck upon an idea or placing an iron pot on a tripod at a street crossing, by which she stood for two days in the cold and storm. Upon a placard was a call to tho mer ciful to contribute to a fund to "keep the pot boiling,' and nearly $SQ iii sll er found Its way into the fund to relieve distress In this way. The weather was damp and chilly, and a fog hung over tho city through out tho day. The streets were not muddy, but the snow melted slightly and the roads were too sloppy for sleighs and tho snow made tho wagon seem out of place, yesterday was one of the most quiet days seen in the city In many years. Nearly every business house save saloons closed all day. Te Boston Store Corner Main and Court Streets. the largest week's business in the history of the liOBton theater.
