The present war is sure to
bring some mighty changes in
the conduct of the affairs of the
world. Many radical steps have
been and will be taken by the
government as war measures
because the exigencies of the
times demand them. If these
inovations prove to be good for
the people in time of war may
it not be fairly, expected that
they will also prove of benefit in
time of peace? Take for example
the question of transportation.
A few months ago all lines of
business was hampered and em
barrassed by the car shortage.
When war was declared, how
ever, and the government found
that it was necessary to move
vast quantities of stores and
supplies quickly and systematic
ally the car shortage problem
wafe quickly settled. Govern
ment officials, acting for the
general good said to the railroad
companies, "expedite loading
and unloading, eliminate dupli
cate train service, send goods to
their destination by the shortest
and quickest route." The rail
road companies were only, too
glad to respond -or, at least,
they 'csponded anil in a few
days the car shortage was brok
en and the roads were euro in,"
a greater vol. mi-' of liu.-iines:
than ever before and were doing
it with fewer locomotives and
the :;;mi.: amount of cars. The
transportation system of the
country wa-s breaking down -of
its own weight and with the in
ell'cieiii v of tlx system under

it is not to be expected that the
country will ever consent to go
back lo the inelliciency of
tlie past after experiencing the
working of a better system.
The world moves and it looks, at

moves faster in tin
pi'ogress and the general good
in time of war than it dues when
peace reiens supreme.
Groshen Boys Return From Cruise
Victor Groshen received a let
ter from his boys Harry and
Charlie a few days ago the first
word he had had from them for
several weeks. The boys are
aboard the San Diego, flagship
of the Pacific squadron and when
the letter was written they had
just returned from a cruise to
Honolulu where they went to
convoy several interned German
ships to the Seattle navy yard
where they will be put in com
mission for use. After deliver
ing the ships at Seattle the navy
boys returned to San Francisco.
The boys are in good health and
are enjoving the new life with
its adventure and activity.

There are persons who have known
ear'h other by sight for years and never
a word spoken between them because
they have never been Introduced. On
the other hand, there are those who,
under some strong emotion, have at a
first meeting rushed Into each other's
arms. This is a story illustrating the
lntter feature.
Jim Conover, plainsman, aged twenty
flve, long of limb, with a countenance
frank and fearless, was riding through
a wood on one of the foothills of the
Rooky mountains. A rifle was slung
from one side of his saddlebow and a
lasso from the other.
Suddenly he reined In his horse and,
sitting stock still, listened. He haft
heard a shot.
This was In the days when the In
dian still Inhabited the plains, when
hundreds of thousands of buffaloes
fed In huge droves.
There was little variety on the plains
in those days, and Conover knew that
if the shot had not been fired at a buf
falo it hRd been intended for either a
white man or an Indian. He had no
idea of showing himself to either party
till he learned the situation. Dismount
ing, he left his horse to nibble while
lie skulked, shielding himself behind
trees, in the direction of the sound.
Presently he reached the edge of the
wood, and, looking down on to the
open, he saw a wagon, behind which
huddled a man, a woman and half a
do;:cn youngsters, the oldest being a
irl just entering womanhood. Be
yond, hiding behind a rock or a bush
or any Inequality In the ground, were
Indians. Conover saw several and
judged that there were something like
half a dozen in all.
How was Conover to save them?
Save them ho must, but without, some
Hlratagcm his single rifle would not
suflice. But he had that one rifle and
a fair stock of ammunition. His pres
ence was as yet unknown to either par
ly. How could he make himself a duu-
:er to the Indians and encourage the
whites?
An Indian rose from out of a bush
mid ran swiftly, intending to take cov
er nearer to the wagon. Conover had
brought his rifle to n ready and shot
the redskin on the wing. The shot pro-
dueed n change both In the Indians and
the besieged party, the former sticking
closer to their protecting objects, the
Inlter vainly looking to see where the
bullet that killed the Indian had come
from. One thing they knew it was
from n friend.
Couover's quick rye, which was dart
iifg nbuiit him for advantageous posi
tions, caught sight of a tree some dis
tance to Ills right, the lower limbs of
which were within his reach. Bending
low and protected by hushes, he gained
tills tree and In a few seconds had
reached (lie upper branches. Concealed
by leaves, he had an excellent view of
llio Indians. He could see every one
of them ami counted ten. Taking de
liberate aim, he sent u bullet at the
one farthest In advance, and lie rolled
over dead.
A shut from two different points rut
consternation into the Indians and
hope lulu the whites. Conover sent
several shots among the Indians, kill
Ing or wounding one with every shot;
then, descending quickly to the ground
and taking a different position, he
fired again, though this time, not see
lug an I in I in ii, his shot (was without
ctieet.
There were now half a dozen Indians
in the attacking purty, and the prob
lem for them was not how to get for
ward, lint how to get away without
being picked off by this new euemv
The father nf the white family, having
pv Idem v that lie was being assisted by
mi unseen force, took couraga and used
tils rille to nih antage-- not that he
killed any Indians, for they were cov-
en d, but that they were obliged to con
slilcr him us an effective enemy.
i oimver kept on tiring at ttie Indians,
out never from the siiuie lnt. One
shot would Ik sent from under a low
luidi, the next from the brine h of a
lice thirty feet from the ground. The
kIioIs from 1iom were the only ones
that were tfTecth e.
Thinking to take a lat nln t from a
trei top whi le he could mh his target.
I Conover aw from li's penh that ev

i and they were all grouped together In
