Ralph Pattison, a clerk In .the Ta- coma postofflee, was caught the nlKht of April 15 rifling the malls. Postmaster Votaw and Inspectors from' concealed spot watched his operations.

He is the oldest engi neer on the .Rock Island system, but he still retains his position at the throttle of the engine which pulls the dally passenger train between Horton and Falrbury, Neb., a dis tance of 120 miles. Governor Buchtel of Colorado, has vetoed the antlfuslon bill parsed by the last general assembly, which made it unlawful for the name of any candidate to be placed upon the official ballot as the nominee of more than one party. The bill was a strict ly republican measure, and the ma- nine refuses to be comforted. According to the New York Her ald William Ellis Corey, president of the United States Steel corporation, and Mabclle Oilman will be married in that city May"7, If their present planB arc not changed. Corey's father does not mince words when he declares that the circumstances of his Bon's desertion of his wife and divorce from her because of his In fatuation for the actress have been disgraceful and contemptible In the extreme. Rev. Father Van de Vcn has been installed as Irremovable priest of the Catholic parish at Walla Walla. ("Irremovable" In this connection -imply meaning life tenure.) The in- vei'.ute was conducted by Bishop of Xoi.quully and attended by 30 priests. It Is the second time In the history of Washington that an irre movable pas torate has been conceded. Three of the conditions are as follows: The church must be of brick; it must be free from debt; the parish must have a school for beys, and also a school for girls. HOW TRUST TREATS DENVER. The meat trust, which runs one set of packing houses for Interstate com merce under federal Inspection, has another plant, a public slaughter house, across the Platte river, where it kills nny old kind of meat for the people of Denver. It Is like dividing even two $20 bills by sending the good one east to a wise banker and passing the counterfeit off on the un suspecting Denverlte. Only, the trust slaughter house for the Denver traie handles Just enough good meat to keep the customers from becoming too Husplclous. It mixes the good with the bad. A News Investigator found this to he true. He saw the mixed goods. The meat trust desires to have a monopoly on Bending good meat to those far away and handling all Its bud meat to Denver. It does not buy the bad meat Itself, but Innocently keeps a slaughter house for those willing to ply this nefarious trade, and slaughters their goods without any money charge. Thus, all the bad meat remains In Colorado, supple mented by Just enough good meat to supply the market. None of the bad meat Is tolerated In lnteratate com merce. Denver News. People of the Inland empire who have'been paying exorbitant railroad freight rates for the past 25 years be cause of the greed of the coast cities which have held the jobbing trade, had little Idea of the enormous cost of this unjust rate, until It was made plain In the Interstate commerce commission hearing In Portland this week. ' Spokane and her Jobbing territory are paying annually to the transcon tinental railroads serving them over $2,000,000 more than the same serv ice would cost If these goods were de livered at . Portland or Puget sound points. This startling evidence Is complied from the testimony of the railroads filed with the interstate commerce commission at the hearing of the Spo kane rate case before Commissioner C. A. Prouty, in Portland. It was reserved for Chief Engineer A. H. Hogland of the Great Northern to give the testimony as to the cost of reproduction of the Great Northern road and Its branches In their entirety, amounting to 8115 miles of track. His estimate was $415,167,668, or an average cost per mile of main track of $62,670. Judge Glllman submitted detailed statements showing freight traffic on the Great Northern, which give re markable figures as between east- bound and westbound traffic. For the entire line for the year end ing December 31, 1906, the Interstate traffic was as follows: Eastbound, 10.239.092 tons, total revenue, $14, 63S.317; westbound, 2.947.118 tons; to tal revenue, $13,004,151. Compila tions from month to month for both interstate and local show eastbound traffic of 12,435.063 tons; total reve nue, $20,574,166; westbound, 4,645. 617 tons; total revenue, $15,607,078. In car movement westbound 20,087 loads and 7464 empties; eastbound, 28.991 loads and 851 empties. Wlint RullroiHls Would Lose. The Northern Pacific statement shows total earnings on freight re ceived nt Spokane from nnd through eastern terminals for months of June nnd December, 1906, $255,484; reduc tion to rallwny If coast rates applied, $79,523. or 31 per cent; total reduc tion for year, using those months as a basis, $477,139. Similar yearly traffic into territory within a 100-mile radius of Spokane (Spokane's present Jobbing territory), $440,522: loss to railroads If coast rates applied, $120,115, and for entire year of $720,692. The Great Northern interstate traffic from and through eastern terminals to Spokane shows a loss of $274,013 for the entire year, or 33 per cent, if coast rates were applied. Into terri tory outside of Spokane a loss of $298, 226 is shown, or 28 per cent. The O. R. & N. would show a loss of $108,000 for Spokane, $157,000 In Spokane Job bing territory. The total loss of all roads tor ciey of Spokane, $858,152; Spokane Jobbing territory. $1,175,918, or a grana ioiui of $2,034,070. These estimates are admittedly low, as estimates nasea on " June and November. 1908, place me loss at Spokane alone over $1,000,000 FENCES ARE REMOVED. Lnriic Force ol Federal Officers at Work In Wyoming. The campaign against Illegal fenc ing In Wyoming isinow on In earnest and within the next few clays an in vestigation, which will cover the en tire state, will he commenced to as certain if all Illegal fences have been demolished and to proceed against those who have failed to obey the law in this regard, says the Cheyenne Tribune. T.-i,ti five special agents of the general land office arrived In Chey enne and reported to Special Agent W. B. Pugh of this city, who Is In charge of the work In Wyoming. Within the next few uays inese agont will begin the work of Inves tigating the fercing of government lands in Wyoming and before they are through will visit every section of the state, ascertain If all Illegal fences hnve neon nulled down and institute criminal proceedings against those who have neglected to ao so. The destruction of fences In Wyo ming during- the past few months and the work now being done will throw onen. t Is estimated, over i,- 000,000 acres of public: land. Fully 160,000 acres of public lnnd was un der fence In Laramie county alone. In Nebraska the campaign against Illegal fencing nnd the restoring of hundreds of thousands of ucres of land resulted In the influx of hun dreds of settlers nnd these familiar with conditions In Wyoming say that the notoriety Wyoming will get ns the result of the fencing movement and the throwing open of great tracts of land will prove beneficial by bringing nbout the moro settlement of the state. Many people who would not go In to a state where they were afraid the laws were not being enforced will desire to come when they learn the government Is enforcing its land Thi wim the history of the anti-fencing work of the government In Nebraska.

Following the example set by Wy oming, and spurred on by the good n.-siitts obtained In that stnte, other states In the wett nre taking steps to eradicate scab from their flocks, says then Shepherd's Bulletin. The Wyoming authorities In two years' time practlcall yeradlcated scabies from the flocks of that state. Outbreaks have occurred from tjme to time through the Importation or diseased sheep from other states, nnd these outbreaks will probably contin ue to occur so long a scab exists in anv ol the states from which Wyo ming imports sheep. Wyoming has. however, erected a strong barrier against her neighbors, which siates now see the advantages of cleaning up. A year ago Idaho made important strides In the di rection of a clean-up, and now Utah has fallen In line. To protect and promot'i the sheep Industry in Utah is the object of a bill now before thes legislature of that state. The measure propnses the ceeatlon of a rheep commission nnd provides for the inspection of sheep, the con trol and suppression of scab and oth er infectious diseases, and repeals the erlstlng law bearing on the subject. The commission Is to consist of three- members, all of whem must be flnckmistcrs and experienced wool growers. Their silnrles are to be $.'00 a yar and actual traveling ex p. os.'s; they are to he named by the governor. A bond of $1000 Is re quired. A secretaiy Is to receive ClOl'fl a year, and an office must be maintained at public i-xpense. Provision Is made for the establish ment of districts and the applntement r.f necessary inspectors. The lnr spectors arc to receive $5 a day and actual traveling expenses for their services. Care In Compounding 1j one of the chief rules of our busi ness.
