No Shirt., chief of the Walla Wallas, is not disturbed by the reservation land Investigations. I'mapine sits close to. his tepee fire and knows not the gnawing heartache of his white brother.

EVENING PAPERS LEAD. The experience of the big advertis ers of the world Is worth something. The; appropriate hundreds of thous ands of dollars for advertising pur poses and spend this enormous sum where it brings best results. A signed statement from the ad vertising manager of Siegel. Cooper & Co.. of Chicago, one of the largest ftrmc In the country, gives some start ling facts concerning the relative valu of evening and morning papers, which it will pay advertisers to read and remember. The statement Is as follows: We .pi'iKl S:t2.".noo a year and 75 per cent c-f It i" In the evening papers nnil 25 per cent in Sunday papers. Fven with our great morning papers vte cannot make tliein pa. though tlie experimciitintr has nst us $100,000. CHARLES 51. PECK, AdvertMns Manager Slegel, Conner Ss Cn.. Chicago. RAILROAD ACCIDENTS. A day or two ago the interstate comnjefe commission Issued Its bull-tin of ial.ioad accidents for the last qUH'V r of the year ending June 30, 1901 from which it appeared, ac cording to the dispatches, that there had b--,, a decrease of 119 In the number of passengers killed durlnis the yer a- '-ompured wl'h 1905. In asmuch as the number of passengers kiilc Ir. tile latter year was 537, this showing meant a very Important gain. Unfortunately there Is not so much reason for congratulation in the sta tisvkj :is il.f-r- may fi-m to be at first sight. The reason lg that the year b' -u-Hfu .Tun- 'in. l'f4. and June 3o, r.o.j. was one in which the num ber of disasters In whl h many lives were lost was exceptionally large. Five wreck were recorded, In each of which or more passengers were killed, while In the preceding year there was only one such wreck, and there was onl yone In the year ending Jm 30 last. This alone would ac count for the exceptionally high death rate of 1905, as the total number of deaths In the five most severe acci dents was over 200. Leaving out of comparison the year 1 : 0 ? . however. It appears that there wax a decrease of 23 passenger killed in 1 ''' a compared with ls04 Even this gain Is offset by the fact that In the number of passengers injured and in employes killed and Injured there were Increases all along the line in 19P6 as compared with 1905. The in crease in passengers Injured was 1, 14".. or more than 10 per cent. The employes killed Increased by 516 and the Injured by 10.09S, or about 15 per cent in each case. The record fully justifies every ef fort that the government can make for the protection of both passengers and employes. VENGEANCE ON HEARST. Something of the Intensely bitter opposition which Hearst and his pro gressive methods have aroused In Cal ifornia is shown in the following from the San Francisco Star: A pleasant thought to every Califor nia democrat Is that their brethren in New York avenged with their ballots the treachery of Hearst in California. The stupidity of fighting the clean and good democratic ticket nominat ed in this state while he was running as the democratic candidate in New York ought to have been apparent even to the obtuse Intellect that hoped to delude the people by posing as a reformer while embracing and aiding the Tammany grafters. lint Heasrt has fooled his dupes so often and so easily that he believed tliein capable of any feats of foolish credulity. An enormous number of them are. Lot a greater number of AiiKiican citizens are not. And these get t"g"lher In New York and taught Hearst that his flatten. is and parti sans are as enthusiastic liars as his own newspapers. We think he will heed the lesson. It has cost him a mint of money and humiiation enough to bring the blush ev-Mi to l:s che'ek of triple brass. Such a flaying as Root administered at I'Uca ought to be mfflcient to make even the Hearst head hang in shame. In the long history of American poll tics no public man was ever adminis tered a castlgation so terrific, and c-rtalnly no public man ever so well Reserved It. Hut V.'illiam Randolph Hearst is down ami out. His bolt is shot. All his lies, his treachery, his cc mblna- tlons with corruption, his hvnucrlev 1 all, all have failed Mm. His malice. fills defamation, his slander and his si i:e have come home, like curses, to roost. Shamed, defeated and despis ed, he stiiiids. clothed with the scorn of uooi men. a mark for the jeers of a'l who bate him and his evil ways. He hits had his day. At the bar of public opinion he has made his plea and the judgment of that Court of Last Resort Is that he is a fakir, a mountebank. and In the words of Secretary Root, "an insincere, self seeking, dnngerous demagogue." llav the fate that has been his be that of all of his kind as long as the republic endures. MONEY Rl RNED FP. The International Society of F.ulld Ing Commissioners and Inspectors Is authority for the statement that In the United States we burn down annually buildings valued at almost 1200, 00, 000 and expend In new construction and reconstruction 1500.000,000. sinc- we u'to pay 1300.000,000 for fighting fire. Inflammable structures prove to be very co.;tly nffilrs. The society asserts that onlv oue building In every 3000 Is fireproof, and that only nominally so, since the so-called Invulnerable structure Is re ally llablr. to damage to the extent of 30 to 90 per cent of value. It Is claimed by these experts that our $500,000,600 constructions would cost but J5(0,000,000 If they were built BO that they could not burn. Measures to abolish fire traps are" suggested, among them higher taxes for build ings not 'fireproof and prohibitive Insurance rates on risks that are haz ardous. Exchange. Fred DcFord, In custody on a charge of grand larceny, escaped a few nights ago from the Canyon City Jail. The escape seems to have been due to Deputy Sheriff Brlerly's care lessness In allowing the prisoner to slip out of the door while he was car ing for a sick prisoner In another cell.

Bunil, who has been sent by the consular depart ment of the United States government to Australia to study the railway nuestlon, writes as follows In a pre liminary report just made to the de partment of the management of Aus tralian railway systems by the gov ernment: The rallronds are under government control, as Is the case with all the railways of the commonwealth. The advantages or disadvantages of such ownership will bo more fully dis cussed in a future report, after the various states have been visited and an investigation has been made of the operation of the system throughout Australia. Although western Australia's rail way history begins at a date consid erably later than that of any of the eastern states of the commonwealth, It Is, according to a competent author ity, ns regards rapidity of construction and growth of traffic, unique in com parison with other systems. As distinguished from previous con ditions, when the requirements and agricultural products of the older set tlements formed the staple source of railway revenue, this more particular ly applies to the last decade when the wonderful gold discoveries In new dis tricts rapidly developed a large and profitable business. The first railway line of the colony connecting Gerald ton with the copper mining district of Northampton was opened In 1S79, and since then nearly 2000 miles of rail have been laid. The standard gauge Is three feet six Inches. The administration of all govern ment railways open for traffic Is in the hands of the commissioner of rail ways. Under a parliamentary enact ment of 1904 his responsibilities and powers were fully defined, and the practical operation of the department was removed as far as possible from the control of politicians. For the purpose of ordinary organi zation and operation the department Is divided Into four divisions, namely, the administration or general, the traffic, the locomotive, and the ways and works, the heads of which are practical railroad men and regarded as well equipped for the positions. The average number of men permanently employed is tiooo. The capital expended on the lines now open amounts to approximately $r0.(ii)0.""il, and the percentage of profit on their operation is between 4.6 and 5 per cent on the money invested. Accidents are Infrequent and have rarely resulted in loss of life. The telegraph and telephone sys tems are also owned by the govern ment, and have steadily grown In size and efficiency since their estab lishment. In western Australia there are now approximately 175 telegraph stations and 10.000 miles of wire. In connection with the telephone ex change over 6000 miles of wire are in operation, while the railway tele phone lines operate nearly S0O0 miles of wire. I'nder the constitution of western Australia the executive power Is in vested in the governor, who Is ap pointed by the crown, and who acts under Uio novice or a camnei, The ifflcers or the caninet are me minis ter for lands, colonial treasurer, min ister of agriculture, minister of mines nnd railways, minister of commerce and labor, minister for works, attor ney general and colonial secretary. The premier, who forms the ministry, loots his own portfolio, parliament composed of a legislative council, cscniimng tne senate or an inoi ion state legislature, and a legislative as sembly, whose powers are similar to those of the lower house. Members of the state cabinet receive $5000 a ear, and memliers of the state par liament nre paid $ loop a year. The legislative council consists ot 30 members, and the legislative as sembly of 50 members. The cities of western Australia arc governed ny a mayor, councilors and town officers. KENTUCKY GALLANT RY. The awards of the Carnegie hero fund have brought out at least one story that is good reading. Kurus lv. Combs, of Midway. Ky.. was awarded sliver medal and J1500 for saving the l.fe of Richard Godson, a bitter rival and political enemy. Godson had entered a vault to test giis-niaklnc apparatus and was overcome bv the fumes. Friends and relatives were afraid to enter the vault. When he declared his Inten tion of going Ir Combs was pulled back and told that Godson was dead and that he would surely lose his own life If he attempted to recover the bod v. 'Tnere may be some life in him," declired Combs as he pulled away to enter the vault. He carried his enemy to the door of the vault and then fell unconscious. Roth men recovered and are now the staunchest friends. Ask ed why he had risked his life for his most bitter enemy. Godson replied: Because I love a fighter who fights fair, anil Godson always did that." THE KIND GRAY DAY. ( h, give thyself to the kind gray day That doth not bargain nor betray! The tranquil . stream Shall hallow thy dream; The grassos dry- Divine thy sigh; And the withered weed Thy need; The silent trees .Shall give heart's ease, Shall dower thee with soft distances Vistas of soul lran(ullltlcs; Ah. the silent trees Appease' Thy heart shall render due reply- To the quiet of earth and the peace of sky: Yen. the amy, mysterious depths of the day Shall fashion thy soul, In a secret way, To meet Infinity; If thou wilt yield thee to the day That doth not bargain nor betray.
