The Spokesman-Review says of the commendable efforts of Baker City business men to secure a national park In the Eagle mountains of Ba ker county: A number of business men of Ba ker City, Ore., all of them staunch believers In the preservation of the natural scenic .beauties of the country. 1 have embarked in a praiseworthy en deavor to have the federal govern ment establish a national park In a portion of the forest reserve on Eagle creek. This section Is about 40 miles from Baker City and Is noted for its beauty. Professor H. B. Smith, a ge ologist, has recently returned from the reserve and he is, perhaps, di rectly responsible for "the movement now on foot His trip was made to Investigate reports of fossil forma tions found there, and on his return he proved the stories true by bringing with him nearly half a ton of fossils. Professor Smith says that he has found positive proof that In this sec tion there was at one time a great In land sea, and that the springs, streams and vegetation are worth the long trip. In presenting their argument for a national park, the Baker City men are urging that within a short time the Eagle Crek railroad will be com pleted, giving easy access to the park. As it Is already In the national re serve. It Is believed that it will not be difficult to transform it. Into a na tional park, which shall forever be kept for the pleasure of the American people. Their effort for the preser vation of one of the beautiful spots of the northwest is commendable. ARE RAILROADS IN NEED? The persistent claim of President Ripley of the Santa Fe, and Vice Pres ident Brown, of the New York Cen tral, that freight charges must be in creased or the wages of the railway employes reduced. Is somewhat amaz ing in the light of the official figures of the Increase in earnings shown by the railways during the fiscal year ending June 20, 1S07. President Ripley plainly told the Chicago Association of Commerce that freight rates would have to go up be cause the railways needed the money. Vice President Brown told the Chi. cago Shippers association that freight rates must go up or railway employes suffer a cut in wages. The dominant note in each address plainly implied that the railways were . the masters of the situation, with no redress on the part of shipper or receiver. When it Is considered that the re port of the interstate commerce com mission, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1908, shows that the rail ways increased their passenger reve nue 154,673,760, over the preceding fiscal year; their revenue from the mails 13,007,611 ;thelr revenue from express companies' 16,332,001; their net earnings from other sources $61, 701.(11, and with their net earnings per mile of road operated rising from HIM, In 1901, to $1548 in 1907, and to I3MI during the fiscal year end ing June 10, 1901, and, finally when It is considered that the official fig. urea show an allotment of $449,411,. Ill as Available for surplus, the plea of President Ripley that "freight rates must go up because the railways need the money becomes a plea bordering en the ridiculous, and so dors the threat of Vice President Brown. There is but one solution of the question of tran? portatlon but one remedy far the arbitrary actions of the railways. That solution and that remedy are In the Improvement of the waterways of the country. With their improvement on the policy of the national rivers and har bors congress, embodying a fixed ami definite plan, continuous In Its oper atlons and with annual appropriation for the work, adequate In amount. there would come not only continuous and cheap avenues of transportation, but a freight regulator which not even the railways of the country could defy, while producer, shipper and re ceiver would reap the benefits. SPAN OF A WOMAN'S T.1FE. Before the last report of the com missioner of pensions, Rhoda Augusta Thompson, the last pensioner who was a daughter of a soldier In the revolu. tlonary war, passed away In her 87th year, says an exchange. There are still living two women pensioners, grand daughters of soldiers In the conti nental army. In this woman's life she saw many changes. Since when, as a tiny girl, she sat at her father's knee and heard the stories of how the country became free, revolutions In Industrial and so cial life have changed conditions al most past belief. The stage coach gave way to the steamboat and railroad train, the spinning wheel and loom to the great factories run by machinery, the tallow candle and the whale-oil lamp to gas and electricity. The great unknown west has been settled by people who use as necessary to life things which were either not Invented or were lux uries. Then, a narrow strip along the At lantic coast, bounded by the sea and the unknown wilderness, with a popu lation scattered and poor, was the (United States. Today the. country 9tretcnes from Ma to sea and over It the sun never sets. Then there were a few feeble states, bound in a loose federation; today, a nation of the first rank, with common Interests, common traditions, looking forward to a future more brilliant than we dream. In fact, we have stopped even wondering what will ccme to us, we are so busy, getting ready for it. In her childhood, teaching, and that only of very small children, was the only vocation of women, outside the home. She lived to see, first the high school, then the college, open wide Its doors to the Insistent waiters. Mrs. Sommervllle and Maria Mitchell wak ened the love of science. Emma Wll lard at Troy and Mary Lyon at Mount Holyoke, made possible, 50 years la' ter, Vassar and Wellesley. She saw her sisters engage In the struggle for the freedom of the slave in the south and later the' slave to al cohol, till their victorious banners waved on the very strongholds of the enemy. And If she had lived one year long er she might have heard Daniel ' F. Cohalen of Tammany In the demo cratic national convention at Denver, in the year of our lord, 1908, begin with: , , , "Ladles and gentlemen of the con vention." Only a word added, but It was the first recognition of the pres ence of women In the great national conventions. It will not be the last. ANOTHER VIEW OF HARRIMAN'. The San Francisco Star says of the Harrlman-Gould struggle In the rail road world: The expected has happened. Har rlman has swallowed the Gould lines In the east because George Gould could not get a beggarly $8,000,000 with which to pay some notes guar anteed by Gould's Wabash system. Thus the Harriman crowd controls the Gould lines from the Mississippi to the Atlantic. Therefore, the Gould lines from St. Louis to the Pacific coast will not make trouble for Har riman. It is a "combination In restraint of trade and of honest government. Will the Western Pacific fight the Southern Pacific In politic? Not this year, nor next year. We are not grieving that Harriman has swallowed Gould. Let him go on and swallow Hill and the other mo nopolists the sooner the better. For that will hasten the day of public ownership of railroads. Harriman Is showing us what monopoly of trans portatlon means. He Is an advance agent of evolution. At the beginning of the last cen tury the cost of running the govern ment was about $1.60 per capita. Now It Is) over $10 per capita, and till going up. Of coarse, this means an average tax of $26 or $10 on every head of a family. People are ioe ta tomed to look lightly on national taxes, because they are not direct, but nevertheless, they must come out of the pockets of the masses. The Portland Oregonlan Is making a heroic effort to get the nightmare of statement No. 1 out of Its mind. The Oregonlan bus been so disloyal to the masses of the voters of the repub lican party that there Is no wonder '! is "scared" at this "unsubstantial shadow." If It costs $230,000 to bring int Pendleton a fine supply of mountain water, It will be money well spent and the water system wj'l pay for itself, a remarkable feature In ordinary mu nlcipal Investments. SONG OF THE PILGRIM SOUL. March on, my soul, nor like a laggard stay! March swiftly on. Yet err not from the way Where all the nobly wise of old have trod. The path of faith made by the sons o God. Follow the marks that they have set beside The narrow, cloud swept track, to be the guide; Follow, and honor what the past has gained. And forward still, that more may be attained. Something to learn, and something to forget; Hold fast the good, and seek the bet ter yet. Press on, and prove the pilgrim hope of youth The creeds are milestones on the road to truth. Henry Van Dyke. VANILLA VERSUS VANILLINE. in reference to a proposed petition by French colonists to the home gov ernment for protection against "va nllline," which threatens their vanilla Industry, Consul Julius D. Dreher, of Tahiti, Society Islands, has complied the following from French colonial publications: The consumption of vanllline In France Is 66,000 pounds per annum, and of vanilla 132,000 pounds, but the amount of vanllline consumed equals In strength 6,600,000 pounds of va nlla, while the world's production of vanlla Is only 1,221.000 pounds. The 132.000 pounds of vanilla consumed In France pays the government a duty of $24,125, while vanllline pays noth ing. Considering the strength of vanll line and Its decreased price, as a re suit of Improved methods of manu facture It has fallen from $6.85 pound In 1876, to $3.33, Its present crlcp. and as it is claimed that a pound of vanllltne is equal In power as a perfume to 100 pounds of vanilla. It Is now cheaper to use the chemical for vanllline is wholly a chemical production, without any vanilla what ever In Its composition. The French colonists, who produce more than one-half the world's pro duction of vanilla, do not ask their government to prohibit the use of va nllline; they only ask that its fraud ulent use be prohibited by law. Animal Slaughtered for Food In Got. many. Consul H. J. Dunlap, of Cologne, states that the report of the bureau of meat Inspection for the German empire for the first quarter of 1908, shows the following numbers of anl males slaughtered for domestic con sumption during that period: Horses, mules, etc., 35,987; oxen, 138,913; bulls and steers, 107.860; cows, 420,- 753; heifers. 212.612; calves, 1.149, 342; hogs, 4,418.214; sheep, 446,180; goats, 126,936. These figures do not Include all the animals killed, for many are butchered-on farms and the carcasses sold, which are not subject to official Inspection. Compared with former years, the showing la a consld. erable increase. Prices for livestock have remained about stationary, though in various districts, owing to local supply and demand, there have been small variations In price, In gen eral perhaps a slight Increase. Lw Beef and More Bawn Sent to England. The London Meat Trades' Journal figures that the United Kingdom Im ports of American and Canadian cattle show an 18 per cent decrease for the first five months of this year, com pared with last year, and 29 H per cent with 1906. The American ship ments of refrigerated beef fell off 404,479 hundredweight (or 112 pounds each) compared with the 1907 period, while the total Increase of $0,889 was due to the heavy consignments from Argentine. A substantial increase of 337,238 hundredweight in the weight of bacon Is due to the heavier ship ments from the United States, the supplies from Canada and other coua- tries being less. Agricultural Activity in Canada. A press report from Toronto esti mates a wheat crop for this season of 125,000,000 bushels for the three prairie provinces of Manitoba, Saskat chewan, and Alberta ,or nearly 60 per cent larger than In any former year. The grass yield Is also heavy, and the dairy sales Increasing.' It adds that the factories In eastern Canada are more active than they were several months ago, but that if they are to have ready by fall all the goods that the agricultural prosperity will re quire they will have to get more ma chinery to work. Owing te the Increased activity In building operations at Corvalll, the owners of the sawmill at that place have made arrangements to greatly Increase the capacity of their plant. This was one ef the first towns in the state to go "dry." Tho Old Stand-by -Tho Pondlofon Savings Bank COMMERCIAL BANKING Capital, Surplus and Profits $250,000.00 4 per cent.

Where the sky and mountain meet, Twilight walks with timid feet, Stepping as If half afraid That If any sound were made Early stars might fade away From the purple edge of day, Telling other stars; and so Sheep might wander to and fro, Travelers unllghted roam, Ships sail wide of shore and home, And the earth, in sore distress. Pine In gloom and loneliness. Where the mountain meets the sky, One star hangs Its lamp on high; Down the lane a country lad Whistles some sweet maid Is glad! Two stars, three stars, four, and lo, All the heavens are aglow! Sheep-bells tingle near the fold, Pilgrim feet again are bold; Foam-wet, shore-set, silver sails Dip and dance to home-bound gales; Earth exults, for nothing mars Twilight's miracle of stars!
