Tba Fnbllo Seivioe Commission
has takeo op tbe investigation of ex
press rates in Eastern Oregon &s ool
hated by tbe express companies on
milk, oream and dairj prodnots. Tbe
aotlon on tba pait of 'tbe Commission
Is brooght abont by tbe faot that tbe
present rates on long banls permits
. Seattle to draw a large portion of bet
supply of. dairy prodooti from points
afar "distant as Snake Elver and
btaoob line points in Eastern Oregon.
The Commission finds tbat witb oieam
stations at Halfway, Whitney, Fern
dab, Union, Losllne, Kortti fowaer
and Biobland, and a oheese faotory at
Hallway, creameries at Ukiab, Enter-
piise, LaUrande, Elgin and Redmond,
it ia apparent tbat dairjing is fast be
ooming an important iodnstry in this
part of tbe state. Bat tbe Commission
finds 8190 tbat these indnstiiea bave
not kept paoe witb tbe development of
other Eastern Oregon resonroes. How
ever, it is possible the Commission
will And npoo investigation tbat tbe
rates now in foroe, or tbat may be
brongbt into foioe, by snob action bb
tbe Commission may take will but
lightly affect an inarease in daiiy
ptodnots, exnept in localities now giv
en over to dairjing. Tbe scope for
dairying in Eastern Oiegon is limited.

How Our Solar 8yatem May End and
a New On Be Born.
The whole of the present solar sys
tem is ultimately to fall into the sun,
causing nn explosion tbat may result
in a new solar system. Such Is the
theory put forward by Trofessor Philip
FautU, a well known astronomer,
whose reputation has rested principally
upon bis researches into the conditloua
on the moon.
The novel feature of Dr. FautU's the
ory Is tbat It Is based upon the suppo
sition that u great part of the known
solnr system, including especially the
planets Jupiter, Uranus and Saturn, ore
not composed of mineral matter at mi,
but are tremendous masses of Ice or
balls of Ice surrounding a mineral Iter
nol. Furthermore, ho declares, n part
of what Is now known as tbe Milky
way Is not mineral or gaseous, but "a
ring of Ico dust," masses of particles
of Ice suspended in space, the other
planets receiving a constant addition
to their Ice mass from this source.
Professor Fnuth declares that the
world already at some remote periods
lins bad n similar experience, resulting
In tbe death of nearly all animate na
ture, and that all species of life as we
know It have arisen since then. Even
tually the planets swinging through
their narrow orbits will full Into tba
tin, causing a new explosion and per
haps the birth of a new solnr system,
but for thousands of years before that
time, all life, either on earth or else
where, will have disappeared. Kansns

ACROSS THE PACIFIC.
Inftuenc of the "Great Circle" on the
Journey to Manila,
if you wanted to go from the Pana
ma canal to iouoniunn ivuieu or rucse
two would he the shorter route? First,
across tho ocean to Hawaii utid from
there to yoliobnmu, or, second, up
along I lie const to San Francisco and
then directly across tho I'acllic to Asia?
Nearly everybody would answer 111
favor f the Hawaiian route. But tbe
unvlgntur tell us the Journey In 20B
tulles shorter by way of San Francisco.
The "ureat circle" does It. Its Influ
ence on distance sends ships from Sail
Francisco to Manila by way of the
Aleutian Islands. Actually our vessels
would to much farther north thau they
do hut for tho discouragement of the
United Stales liydnigraphlc bureau at
Washington, which advises a central
route, more than 2W miles longer than
the great circle, lu order to escape the
tof& anil lee of the far north.
The Hawaiian Islands me frequently
descrlhed as "the crossroads of the Pa
cific." Their people me naturally look
