ImpotHlble to Meet the Demand for Labor Idle Men Brought From Chicago by Trnlnloacls to the North west 'Immense Railroad Building Projects Will Distribute Millions In Wages. The Vanguard of what Is to soon be come a great army of men have com menced migration to Oregon and Washington to enter railroad service as laborers In the construction of the thousands of miles of new railroads to be built In these states during the next two or three years. From the best estimates obtainable there are today fully 10,000 men em ployed In railroad construction In the two states. This number Is divided between the Northern Pacific's north bank road, whlc gives employment to nearly 5000 men; the Canadian Paci fic's extension to Spokane, the Hill lino being built Into British Colum bia, the North Yakima 4 Valley line, which Is supposed to be a Hill enter prise, and various smaller extensions and Interurban trolley lines Including the Joseph extension of the O. R. & N. The Sanders electric line, which is being constructed between Seattle and Everett as rapidly as possible, has been trying to secure 700 additional men to place on the construction of the road. - When to this number is added the brigades that will be called Into ser vice tci build the Milwaukee through to the sound and to take the Union Pacific up from Portland, allowing a possible addition for the North Coast and for the trolley projects certain to be carried out In the vicinity of Port land, together with the Rlparla ex tension of the Northern Pacific, It Is found that tho railroads are face to face with the problem of giving em ployment to an army of at least 25,' 000 and perhaps 30,000 laborers. These figures, casually spoken, may not seem significant to some persons, but analysis of the proposition gives figures that seem astonishing. At it per day for the wages of each man the payroll of this army will amount to 11.600.000 per month, or 118,000,- 000 In a year. However, unless the railroads seek high and low throughout the country, workmen's wages will not remain at so low a figure. Should the men suc ceed in gettlsg an additional B0 cents per day It will mean (425,000 monthly added to the payroll. The effect of the employment of this vast multitude within the boun darleo of Oregon and Washington, will be far reaching. It will affect the wages of labor throughout the central west, as well as the northwest The railroads will be placed In com petition with other lines of Industry with the services of the day laborer as the stake, for It Is nearly Impossi ble to suppose that there will ever be more than enough laborers to supply the demand. This fact Is illustrated by tho dif ficulty met by all western roads In construction work, their most dlftl cult problem being to secure enough men to keep the work advancing dur ing all seasons of the year. Men who are arriving In Portland and Tacoma now have been attracted west by the advertisement of the Northern Pacific for work on the north bank lini) being built along the Columbia river. St. Louis and Chica go have been principal recruiting points for this work. First points nearer home were tried but the supply of idle men who de sired to work In the northwest at at tractive wages soon dwindled until It became so small that the railroads had to search for men farther east They first offered regular home seekers' rates to workmen during the early part of the winter. Then, as the demand for laborers became more pressing, they advertised free fare, or a rate of 13 between Chicago and Dlrtel from Our DUtilUry to YOU Saves Dealers' Profits Prevents Adolteratloa HAYIM WHISKEY 4 FULL QUARTS M nn EXPRESS PREPAID flUU M FULL QUARTS $IR Qfl FREIGHT PREPAID I V fa U Send II the itxn amount and w M ship Insplaln leaM cut, wuh no urkltoilwwcontwtl.

Cormorants, " Cormorants are far the largest and most striking In appearance of our com mon English sea fowl. A - male cor morant is a yard long and very strong and heavy, and, though more .quaint than beautiful, whether flying, diving or sitting on the rocks or buoys, It Is a far more interesting creature than the sea gull a wonderful instance of adaptation of form to special needs and of permunence of type enduring from remote ages, ior uie iosbii cormoram hardly differs from those which art now fishing from the cliffs In wblcb their petrified ancestors are Imbedded. Our common "great black cormorant" li not only the most representative type of bis family, but a link with the in habitants of the shallow seas of both the old and new worlds. He Is found throughout Europe, In north Africa, Egypt and the greater part ot Asia, la eastern North America and. a little changed by distance, in New Zealand and Australia. Lastly he Is the only bird except the hawks and falcons which Is trained to assist man In the capture of living prey, and In this vo cation he Is of all birds, by sense, memory and affection. Incomparably the best London Spectator. The Wiles of Boasts of Prey. The panther on the plains of Pata gonta gets as near a herd of guanaeos as It can, then Ilea down behind a bush on Its back. It puts one paw up in the air, then another, then the third and fourth and after a bit all four at once. That seems curious to the guanaeos, and they come close to investigate. Up Jumps the panther and lights on the nearest one's back and breaks its neck. A fox up In Nova Scotia comes down to the bay of Fundy and goes damping along the beach a couple of rods and back again, rising on Its hind legs at each about face and waving Its big tall In the air. The little flock of four or five Canada geese out on the water begin to wonder what can be the mat' ter with the fox. They swim up Into the shallow water to Investigate, when In daabea the fox and grabs one by the neck. The men have taken advan tage of this trick and have trained dogs to do as the fox does. For lack of a dog men themselves have ambled about on their hands and knees to attract the birds. The Wanders of TraBsoeaMlon. The wont "time' admits of a very peculiar arrangement of Its letters. The four letters of the word transposed and read backward and forward and up and ilown give four perfect Eugllsb and Latin words. It Is wild to be the only word In our language that will ad mit of so many transpositions and ar rangements. Note the oddity of the square below: TIME ITEM M E T I EMIT The above words In English as well as in Latin are all complete, and the curious part) of It Is that reading them backward aud forward and up and down gives the same -result that trans posing the letters In the original word does. Their signification as Latin words Is as follows: Time, fear thou; Item. likewise; metl, to be measured; emit, be buys. Cartraa Facta Afcoot the Bye. A very curious fact la the Imposslbtl tty of moving your eye while examin ing the reflection of that organ In mirror. It Is really the most movable part of the face. Yet If you bold your bead fixed and try to move your eye while watching It you cannot do it- even the one-thousandth of an Inch. Of course If you look at the reflection of the nose or any other part of your face your eye must move to see It, But the strange thing Is that the moment yon endeavor to perceive the motion the eye Is fixed. Thl Is one of the reasons why a person's expression as seen by himself in a glass Is quite different from what It Is when seen by others. Advice From Her Lawyer. Timothy Coffin, who was prominent at the Rrlstol county bar In the last century, ence secured the acquittal of on old Irishwoman accused of stealing a piece of pork. As she was leaving the courtroom she put her hand to her mouth and In an audible whisper Bald "Mr. Carfln, who'll I do with the por-ruk?" Quickly came the retort: "Ent it, you fool. The Judge says you didn't steal it." Boston Herald. Oil I on (he Tronblrd Waters. ' Lady All your marine pictures rep resent the sea as calm. Why don't you paint a storm once In awhile?

I - Arrow Shields The other day I saw a little, modem book. In a green cover, on a table in drawing room. I picked It up. It was about the early French In Canada, and my eye fell on a copy of a draw ing by their leader, Chhmplln, or Cbam plaln. The scene represented was an attack by the native allies of the French, the Algonqulns, on a fort held by Iroquois. The Algonqulns advanced through showers of arrows under shields nearly as tall as themselves, like doors with rounded tops. Now, you may see exactly the same sort of shields in a picture of a lion bunt. In laid in gold and silver, on the bronze blade of a dagger founA by Dr. Bchlle maun In "the grave of Agamemnon." These monstrous Mycenaean shields cause much discussion among the learn ed. Why were they so huge? The Al gonqulns used the very same shields, hung from their necks, and the reason was the same their battles were bat ties of archers, and nobody can parry a shower of arrows with a smaller shield. ShleldB grew small In Greece as bow and arrow went out and sword and spear came In, London' Illustrat ed News. Tho Fiddle Drill. The "fiddle drill" Is one of the oldest stonecottlng tools In existence. It Is said to antedate Greek sculpture and Is In use today in about the same form as It was 2,000 years ago. As Its name Implies, Its action resembles a fiddle. The drill Is of two pieces. In one hand a carver holds the drill stock, which Is like a carpenter's brace, except that it is straight Instead of having a crank. In the other band he holds the "bow," which is strung with a brass wire and wblcb Is given a turn around the drill stock. To . use the drill the carver places the drill stock against his breast holding It with bis left hand, and with his right be draws the bow back and forth, fiddle fashion. This Imparts a rotary motion to the drill stock, and the drill Is ground to cut In either way It turns. The fiddle drill Is used in the finest work, In crevices where the sculptor could not reach with bis chisel and hammer without endangering the carving. Tho Warrrlnsr Hobll. I asked a physician what cure he would suggest for the worrying habit "I would prescribe common sense," he said. "And -If a man or woman hasn't got a stock on band and cant cultivate one no doctor can give It to him or her. This worrying nonsense grows. The best means to cure It lies in the bands of the woman herself.

Every wom an wanta to keep beautiful to the last Why does she take the course which la sure to make ber yellow skinned, dull eyed and thoroughly unlovely?" Why, Indeed? New York Globe. Van 111. It Is curious to read that vanilla was employed by the Aztecs of Mexico as an Ingredient In the manufacture of chocolate prior to the discovery of America by the Spaniards and that it was brought to Europe as a perfume with indigo, cochineal and cacao ten years before the arrival of tobacco on our shores. The name vanilla is de rived from the Spanish valna, a pod or capsule. Dampler described It as little pod full of small black seeds and like the stem of a tobacco leaf, so much so that bis men when they found the dried pods at first threw tbem away, "wondering why the Spaniards should lay up tobacco stems." Chambers' Journal. The Coaadlaa Line. The boundary line between Canada and the United States Is marked with Iron posts at mile Intervals for a great part of Its length. Calms, earth mounds and timber posts are also used, and through the forests and swamps a line a rod wide, clear of trees and under wood, has been cut. Across the lakes artificial Islands have, beeu made to support the cairns, which rise about eight feet above the high water mark Exchange. A Mlsra Wish. Greedylot, who Is rather miserly, was recovering from a long Illness. "How was It, doctor," be asked one day, "that I was able to live so many weeks with out eating?" "Why, you were fed by the fever. "Are you sure?" Then after a mo ment's reflection, "I wish I could give It to my servants." Speoktnar Their Minds. The queer thing about the people who boast of always speaking their minds is that they nearly always have such disagreeable minds to speak.

Lowell: The same law, the same government mid the same opportunity for all con stitutes the sentiment upon which must rest all governments of the people. Until that high mark Is reached republics are still In danger of reversion to government which shall be popular In name and monarchical In fact. In this land two Important classes are still beyond the purview of this Ideal of equality presented by the futhers as the ultimate end of a sys tem begun with the declaration of In dependence. The vast corporations, money combinations, styled the vested Interested, appear to reckon them selves above It. Women are compell ed by existing conditions to be subor dinate to It over them the slinilow of the dark ages seems still to rest. To the former, tho interests, the most vital political question of the day, this occasion docs not direct at tention. This movement for the emancipation of sex, however, may if resulting In triumph, begin the cor rect solution of the greater problem. The demand of women for equality of franchise appeals to me not on the grounds of ethics or gullantry tho? are matters of taste and opinion nut upon the higher ground of common Justice. Whether the right to vote, ir granted, is ever exercised by tnem is not the Issue. They are entitled to the privilege by every right and every phase of the moral law, and, the real demand Is not for some new right, but for the restoration of one taken from them, and to which they are en titled by all the authority of the com mon law, and the early precedents of the race. Except by the Intervention of the peculiar prejudices of the canon law, the civil equality of women with men originally recognised would hnve continued. I believe In all the essen tials of Christianity, In Its eternal up lift upon civilisation, In its truth, Its divinity, but I gravely question the Inspiration of the Apostle Paul. He has been the source of too many creeds and of too much prejudice, to Impress his labors with unquestioned approval, either sacred or secular. The Master left no utterance wtiicn can be considered as doubting the equality of men and women, and the cunon law finds its interpretation In the peculiar views of the brilliant yet eccentric apostle to the gentiles. Woman Onoo Had KtglitH. Under William the Conqueror, In the beginning of the common law. women who were householders en Joyed the franchise equully with men. unci as late as the 17th century they voted In England for mom hers of par liament. When this republic Inherited the cotunuin law, and upon It founded the Jurisprudence of the new nation, the word ninle was not used In the consti tutions of uny of the original states. JLAWN MOWERS GARDEN HOSE 1 2 1 -2c-1 5c - - 20c Clarke New York began the limitation In 1778, therefore what American women now ask they have a right to demand, simply a restoration of the rights which came to them with the surren der at Yorktown the heritage of the same language and the same law which belonged to the revolutionary mothers. Such Is history, but eliminating that it Is difficult to explain the thought of an electorate which can find satisfactory reasons to deny to women the right to vote. Justly there may be question as to Its desir ability, but never as to its right, man questions her Intelligence, her patriotism or her vital Interest in the affairs of government.

Its first manifestation as touching the English speaking people was at Run nymede where resulted the Magna Charta; Its next when was granted the Bill of Rights. Upon the soil of the western world It found expression In the white manhood equality of the pil grims adopted in the establishment of the republic. Later the Inspired pen of America's commoner gave the bnl- lot to the black man, and now women alone In the great government of the people, among intelligent' and quali fied cltlzeiiH are barred from partici pation In public affairs. Their enfranchisement Is the next step toward the fullness of Individual liberty the equality of right and op portunity toward which the race Is moving. It Is a step forward and will be taken. When taken It Is for women herself to determine what use she will make of the privilege.. That It Is hers as a heritage of liberty none can deny. To her It must be returned.
