BOSTON & MAINE RAILROAD OWNS THE STATE OF A spoiled child, potted and coddled until It attains a hulking maturity and j assumes, nil lnnolent mastership over Us own parent this Is Mark Bulll- j van a cnttracierizauon oi me runruuu In Its relation to the Htute. In an ar ticle In Collier's Weekly, In which he describes Now Hampshire's complete domination by the Boston & Maine railroad, Mr. Sullivan points out the curious (net that that state alone seems to have had In the beginning a prophetic vision of what the rail road might In time become. Yet In spite of Its early restrictive legislation New Hampshire Is now probably the one state In the union most conspicu ously "owned" by a railroad. A recent carefully considered state ment, signed by the Episcopal bishop of the state, an ex-Judgo of the su preme court, and a professor of Dart mouth college, asserts that the state Is held in "a form of slavery." By means of passes, Mr. Sullivan states, the newspapers and the lawyers of the state are practically "retained" In the Interests of the Boston & Maine. Lucius Tuttle, president of that rail road. Mr. Sullivan says, today rules the stnte like an autocrat. The story of New Hampshire's subserviency to a corporation is told In part as fol lows: "As time went on, New Hampshire grew weak and the railroad grew strong. Its population today Is but lOe.OOO more than It was In 1850, ana the quality of that population has deteriorated sadly. The rewards of public life Rrew less and less attract ive, the sorvloe of private Interests more and more remunerative. The governor V New Hampshire gets $2, 000 a year and Is master, maybe, of 100 men; the president of the Bosnot He Maine railroad gets probably $50, 000 n year and snys 'Come' and 'Go' to perhaps 100.000 men. Naturally, what tnlent Is In the state seeks the service of the corporation. Mean while tho railroads were consolidat ing, achieving the strength that lies In union; more and more the state be come the despised poor relntlon of the corporation.' The chief source of the railroad's power Is the pass. S.iys Mr. Sulll van: "You may sny It Is a strange thing, that citizens must be cheaply bought. If an entire stnte ens be bribed with railroad passes. But assume the es timate Is low that the Boston & Maine distributes IVfrOO passes In New Hampshire. Assume that each pass Is worth to the holfier three or four trips to Boston and a few lo eal trips a year would make the nm, Half a million dollars Is a big sum in a stnte both small and poor; and, moreover, that the power of a rail- rond pass Is by no means measured by Its value In dollars and cents.those who know the psychology of a pass will understand. Conslller, too, that the recipients of -passes are the most Intelligent, powerful nm! aggressive, the natural lenders In etich communi ty. The 5000 holders of passes If th.it be the number who, by the'r natural gifts, by their -education, by their hnppy endowment of a forceful personality, ought to he the lenders In uplifting their neighbors, arc 111 reality the bell-wethers who betray the other 400,000 fa re-paying resl deiils of New Hampshire Into the power of the rnllrond. "Tlie mn.' conspicuous and most Often The Kiclnsys Are . Weakened by flyer-Work. .Unhealthy Kidneys Hake Impure blood. It nsed to bo considered that .only niriimry and bladder troubles -were to be ttaceu to uie viuncys, but now modern I science proves that nearly all diseases have their beginning in the disorder lot these most important organs. The kidneys filter and purify th blood that Is their work. Therefore, when your kitlncysare weak or out of order, you can understand how nicVly your entire body is affected and howewery organ seems to fail to do its Vyou.are sick or " feel badly," begin taking the great kidney remedy, Dr. Kilmer Swamp-Root, because as soon as your kidneys are well they will help 11 the other organs to health. A trial will convince anyone. If you are sick you can make no mis lake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of TV. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy, is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases, and is sold on its merits by all druggists in fifty-cent nd one-dollar size bottles. You may have a sample bottle Homaof Swamo-Root, by mail free, also a pamphlet telling you bow to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble. Mention this paper when writing to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bing bamton, N. Y. Don't make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the ad dress, Binghamton, N. Y., on every bottle. ION Mn i 31 A HAMPSHIRE powerful, though not the most numerous, class of pass-holders are the newspapers. That Is why . Mr. Churchill, In his campaign against the railroads, can count on getting his speeches Into only seven papers In the state." The lawyers, Mr. Sullivan tells us, form another Important class of paHS holders. ' We read: , "With all the newspapers and all the lawyers of a state thus employe) to be stifled, what relief can be had against public or private wrongs committed by the railroads; Quite apart from the political effect of such wlderpread pass-giving to lawyers, suppose yon are hurt In a railroad accident; you carry your case to the leading lawyer of your town; you find he has been thoughtfully 'retained' by the railroad In his Inside pocket is a pass marked 1R't'r'; you try the next leading lawyer, and the next, and the next. They have all been 'retained.' Only some obscure law yer, of capacity so mean as not to be thought worth while by the railroad, Is left f redress your private wrong." Whnt docs "New Hampshire In slav ery" literally mean; asks Mr. Sullivan. And he answers: "It means that any man who aspire-, to high office In New Hampshire gets on the train, rides some 70 miles to Poslon, goes to the office of Lucius Tuttle, president of the Boston & Maine railroad, and asks Mr. Tuttle if he may run; It means that any member of the legislature who would like to get a hill through gets on tho (rain at Concord, rides to Boston, and pleads with Mr. Tuttle, showing him that this hill won's hurt the Boston & Maine railroad or any of Mr. Tultle's interests; and onty when Mr. Tuttle gives hlii gracious permission does the member dare to Introduce and presj his Mil." Fr further description of Mr. Tut t!e'8 methods we read: "He came Into a perfect autocracy, and filled It with a dictatorial and vitidlctlve personality. He visited. reckless vengeance on all who oppos el him. It. 186 the governor of tho State was, as usunl, a railroad man, i director :ln the Concord i. Montreal 'one of (be subsidiaries of 'thy Boston Maine. But this governor inad vertently allowed his funcrtlon as head of the fttute to overbalance his func- tlon as a railroad director. In a mes sage hrj advocated the 'building of trolley roads to tnmprte with the Losion & Maine, adding, as a timid palliative to Tuttle's anger: 'I do not believe It will be a menace to the Bos ton A .'Maine, bet use . will bring as much business as it tnlres away.'

The Idaho Falls Post of August 18 says: Various rumors are afloat con cerning the disappearance of Louis Keefer, and one which gained great credence yesterday was to the effect that tho young man was found on a visit to friends at Gray's Lake, sub limely unconscious of the fact that dozens of men are scouring the coun try on upper Willow creek In search of him. This rumor has no founda tion in fact, It appears at lean the Keefer family In this city has no word to that effect. The theory Is now advanced thnt tho young man has been waylaid by horse thieves, and that he has either been killed and his body disposed of In some hidden spot, or that he Is In captivity. This theory seems to have solid foundation from the fact that It Is reported the young man went Into the hills to look after some horses after leaving Mr. Rogers. Others still maintain the theory that the bijy and his horse are both dead, although the accident theory Is not so probable now from the fact that the territory near to where the youth was last seen has been thor oughly scoured by the searching par ty. To get at tho triyh of the matter the boy's uncle, W. W. Keefer of this city, Is offering a reward of $200 for the recovery of the boy or for his body If dead. . ' " Keefer left homo on the afternoon of Wednesday and with his dog start ed after a horse that had been hob bled and left to graze some distance up In the hills. He got the horse and was returning home, when he came to a sheep that had recently died and he left the trail and started for the nearby sheep camp to Inform them of the loss. He nte supper with' the herder and started on home about dark. Nothing has been heard from him since. MONEY IX HOGS. Wullu Walla Taken All Atlicnn Coun try' t'n n Raise. There Is good money In hogs at 7 cents ir pound, live weight. That Is the price paid in Athena this week by Walla Walla buyers. The largest lot purchased was a carload of prime porKers rrom A. L.

Tiie meat and packing Industry of the Garden City Is rapidly advancntg. It ins reached the stage where most of the stock grown In this section s Teiiulred to supply the demand of the Walla Walla buyers. It is now a ncre rcurrcnsce when an Athena rancher makes a stock sale to Portland oi found buyers.

Authorities Do Not Agree as to Wlieu It Provision Begin to Have Force Sonic Itiillroad People Hold That It Is In Force Now, Other Thai It Will I!c August 2S, nnil Still Others Think It Becomes Effective on Jim nary 1 Next. The new Interstate commerce law pissed by the recent congress, and which some "think becomes effective August 28 next, which others think is in effect at the present time and which still ethers Insist does not be come effective until January 1, 1907, has the railroad men of both freight and passenger departments greatly confused. A. stated In -.yesterday's Inter-Mountain, the Denver & Bio Grande railroad, from Its headquarters In Denver, has Informed Its employes and agents all over the country that according to the interpretation of the act by its l?gal department, the law is now In force, and on the strength of that opinion, the Ilio Grande refuses to 's-sue any advertising transporta tion, Immigration transportation or t'-anrpoitatlon at special rates be tween Interstate points on business not excepted by the Interstate com merce law, snys the Butte Inter Moun tain. The basis of the Rio Grande's legal lf-p.ntment for saying that the law Is at the present time In force, Is that it Is stated in three different places In the act, when it shall become ef-1 fectlve. and in each of those place3 a different time Is specified, it is firs' stated that the law shall become effective January 1, 1S07. Again It states that the measure shall become effective ind be In force from and after the tin te of Its passage. Ap pended is p note which states that by Joint resolution of the house and sen ate, the act shall become effective August 28, 1906. The legul department of the Denver & Bio Grande Is doubtless composed of able legal talent, but still railroad men are nuzzled to know why that road should assume the attitude it hn3 In the face of the fact that n1? other road has done so, and further more, because the officials of the rail roads met In Chicago only recently for the express purpose of tnking up the new law and placing a general Interpretation upon It, and presuma bly '.hey did. In the face of thes-; faeti the independent attitude of the Rio Giande would seem to be based upon the opinions of Its legal depart ment alone. That the Gould road Intends re maining firm In the stand it has taken Is e-videnced by the following letter, a circular letter Issued by Ed R. Hunt, the local general agent, to the newspaper? In this territory which have been carrying advertisements for the Rio Grande under an advertising contract: "Gentlemen: Our legal department !s firmly of the opinion that the inter 'tnto connrterce regulation as regards advertising or Immigration transpor t iloii and special ratesf supposed by many not to be effective until August :d or January 1, are In reality- in cf f? t today and that we cannot issue .jiy transportation or reduced rates on Interstate business not excepted under the interstate commerce law without plating ourselves in violation of ;he law. However embarrassing it may be to us to have to decline ap plications for transportation from pa pers thnt have rendered us service, we feel th tt we are compelled under the law to so do. We are confronted by a condition over which we have no loiuioi ami ior wnicn wo are in no way responsible. I therefore beg to advise you -that we can only Issue ad vertising transportation locally within the state of Utah or within the stata of Colorado, but -not to be used for any part of an Interstate trip." The most rational statement at the present time, is the one to the effect that the legal departments of all tho railroads In the country are now en deavorlng to place an Interpretation upon the new interstate commerce law, anil that the Rio Grande lawyers arrived at their conclusion before the others. Certain It Is that there will be more regarding the matter and fron, other sources before many aya Butcher's National Convention. Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. 21.

It More Cloielr Resemble, the Gon dola Tlian Any Other Craft. Crawford, the author, to whose skill ful pen Constantinople Is Indebted for one of the most charming volumes ever Issued in its praise, bas a word to say about the Turkish boatmen and their vehicle, the kalk. "Constantinople owes much," writes he, "to the matchless beauty of the three waters which run together be neath Its walls, and much of their reputation again bas become world wide by the kalk. It Is disputed and disputable whether the Turks copied the Venetian gondola or whether the Venetians Imitated the Turkish kalk. but the resemblance between them Is so Btroug as to make It certain that they have a common origin. Take from the gondola the 'felse,' or hood, and the rostrated stem aud the re mainder is practically the kalk. It is of all craft of Its size the swiftest, the most easy to handle and the most com fortable, and the Turks generally ore admitted to be the best oarsmen In Europe. "Indeed, they have need to be, for both the Bosporus and the Golden Horn are crowded with craft of every kind and made dangerous by the swift est of currents. The distances, too, are very great and such as no ordinary oarsman would undertake for pleasure or for the sake of exercise. It Is do Joke to pull fifteen or sixteen miles against a stream which In some places runs four or five knots an hour." Gardeblns In America. Gardening In America has reached what one might call the "awkward age." ' Neither a man nor a country goes a-gardening In early youth. "Men come to build stately sooner than to garden finely," as Bacon once said, aud as every garden writing body has re peated until Sir Francis in Elysium must regret lie ever made the remark, which none the less Is true. Gardening Is essentially a middle aged enjoyment, and America being, as nations go, still young, her garden craft has the faults of youth. It has Its incongruities, In harmonies, aud it often mistakes size and expenditure for excellence Cen tury. In the Same Iloat.
