LIVE AND LET LIVE.
Christmas! The word is one
of the most treasured in our lan
puaee. Around it cling: the
happiest memories of childhood
days, mingled with the music of
the sound is the music of the
sleigh-bells in the old home per
haps now far away, and the
Christmas songs that old and
young were wont to sing in uni
son on that merriest of days.
The season of all seasons when
charity, love and kindness are
supposed to create an atmosphere
higher and purer than that of
any other time, yet a season that
has come to be dreaded by many
a bread-winner as the most try
ing time of all the year.
The good old Christmas time
has. been "modernized" and the
changes is not pleasing. Bar
ter and trade has taken the place
of the Christmas spirit that once
made gift giving something de
lightlul, and no class suffers so
much from the consequent rush
and crush of Christmas, as does
the clerk behind the counter.
Women do not mean to be nn
kind; they would indignantly
deny the charge of cruelty to
their fellow-creatures, but of
such they are guilty. The holi
day season means double work
for the employes in nearly all
establishments, and women do
the greater part of the Christmas
shopping. If ladies agree on
nothing else they are apparently
unanimous in the idea that this
shopping must be done princi
pally during the last forty-eight
hours before Christmas.
With a desplaration born of
the determination to get the best,
cheapes: and prettist articles in
the market, they make a rush
during those closing days that
drives the clerks half frantic,
wears out the nerves of the shop
pers, causes the children to be
cuffed and scolded, and turns the
home into a vertiable inferno for
the time being. Then, when
the last present is labeled and the
last card written, these female
shoppers are too weary and too
irritable to enjoy the Christmas
tarkey, join Tommy in a game
of dominoes or greet the long
suffering husband with a cheerful
smile.
Would you be kind, charitable
and happy? Would you " do
unto others" as you would like
to be done by this Christmas?
Then do not add to the congest
ion of holiday trade at the
eleventh hour, but start now.
Bay all you wish, but get busy
early. The weary clerks will
bless you for your thoughttulness,
and perhaps when this Christ
mas morning dawns you will
have enough energy left to join
in the good old carol f 1 'Peace
on earth; $ood will to men."
THE INTERSTATE COMMISSION.
A system is being prepared by
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to investigate the com
bination formed by the many
railroads of which E. H. Harri
man is the presiding head and
manager. This is certainly the
1 - - u: c : 1 j.
under one control which hasi
ever existed, representing over
23,000 miles ot track.
The system controls the Un on
Pacific, the Oregon Short Line,
the Oregon Railroad and Navi
gation Company and the South
ern Pacific Company, with all of
ft OIe A
You will find everything suitable
for Holiday giving. We have
secured a selection of high class
and desirable g:fts and you can
safely depend on the quality. You
need never feel ashamed ,of any
thing you give that you buy here.
From now onare holiday buying
days, but you are welcome to
look, as well as to buy. Make
your selections now, we will
store them for you and deliver
when you say desirable. Suit
able, sensible presents for men,
women and children.

the branches of these several
trunk lines.
The Commission believes that
the combination is similar to that
planned and organized under the
Northern Securities Company.
If such is found to be the case,
it is presumed that suits to dis
solve the combination will be
brought in the United States
courts, under the Sherman Anti-
Trust Law.
Mr. Harriman has certainly
been the most active man in all
of the worid's history to combine
under one system and control so
many railroads,- and has expended-fabulous
sums of money to ef
fect this great combination. Not
withstanding this, the greatest
shortage of cars exists through
out the whole system ever known
under any system of transporta
tion. Mr. Harrimanjhas spent mil
lions upon millions of money to
purchase and unite, under his
plan, every desirable railroad
that he could find for sale, and
yet it seems impossible for him to
find means to buy new cars to
move the rapidly accumulating
freight along his roads.
Under his management, the
urgent demand of the public to
move their accumulated products
to market receives little response.
At the same time active effort is
being made by Mr. Harriman to
gain control of other roads.
The Interstate Commission
should be empowered to go into
this proposition thoroughly and
to require every interstate rail
road to furnish cars sufficient to
transact the business along the
lines of road operated under the
system. If this were the case,
managers so eager to gather all
railroads possible under one
control would see to it that the
equipment was ample to cany
the traffic offered.
