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

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."

SEARCH roil LIMP KEEKER.
Young Man Mltwliig Prom Idaho Kulla
Knur Fittul Accident.
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.

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

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.
