ARMY OF LABORERS
RAILROAD WORK DE
MANDS 25,000 MEN.
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

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 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 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.

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

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. If she

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

"Why, you were fed by the fever.
"Are you sure?" Then after a mo

Speoktnar Their Minds.
The queer thing about the people
who boast of always speaking their

ANOTHER
STEP HMD
The following excellent article has
been prepared for the East Oregonlan
by Judge Stephen A. 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.

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

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

Ambition is Toward Equality.
The ambition of the race Is toward
equality of right and opportunity. 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.
Justice requires It; complete liberty
of humanity demands it. Stephen A.
