Railroad Business on Increase.
La Grande.—There are fewer “ dead
engines" on the O.-W. R. ft N. division
of the Union Pacific tbla week than in
any time for mure than a year. Dally
for the past two weeks the line e f Idle
engines has been diminished, until the
local aupply la nearly entirely In the
service.
New engine crews and train crews
have been put on to meet the spurt
in business. Railroad men and ship­
pers generally attribute the major por
tlon of the latest revival In freight to
the Panama canal slide, which bin­
ders steamship traffic, while transcon­
tinental business is brisk, local crops
are scarcely m oving at all, farmers
bolding their wheat tenaciously.
With the present sharp increase In
business coming on before a concerted
movement of wheat from Inland points
railroad officials foresee a good win­
ter.
Tw enty machlnlsta have been
added to the shop force here during
tbe fall, and from time to time.
Train crewa scratched a year or
more ago are coming back to service,
two such crews being re-employed out
of here within the past day or two.

a boy farmer near Drain.
The letter, which resulted from tbe

Movement to Restore Monarchy Now
Beyond Stopping— Vote Must
Be Continued as Planned.
Pekin, China— W hile outward calm
prevails in Pekin. Japan’s communica­
tion has caused excitement in official
circles, as it is feared this is only a
prelude to further action.
It is in­
comprehensible to the Chinese why
Japan chose the present moment to
hand in the communication, as the
secret service must have informed the
Tokio government two months ago that
a monarchy was surely coming.
The communication ia more likely to
cause trouble than to prevent it, by
encouraging the revolutionists with
the idea that foreign powers are
against the restoration o f the mon­
archy, and thus strengthening the op­
position to it.
Foreigners and Chinese realize that
the restoration movement has gone so
far that it is impossible to stop it.
Japan’s action is all the more strange,
considering that Prem ier Okuma a
fortnight ago said that the restoration
o f the monarchy was China's domestic
affair, that it had been decided on and
that he was convinced it would be
brought
about
peacefully.
The
Chinese government, he said, was
fully able to control any situation
which might arise and Japan had no
righ t to interfere.
In Borne quarters Japan's communi­
cation is considered an impertinence.
It is said here that the Russian min­
ister had not received any intimations
from his home government, but accom­
panied the Japanese Charge d’ Affaires,
Obats, with the object o f fully under­
standing the situation should compli­
cations arise.
The French minister did not attend,
because he waa not invited and had no
instructions from hia home govern­
ment.
Whether the British minister was
advised by his government is not
known, but it is most significant that
before Obats presented the communi­
cation he waited for the British min­
ister to speak.
Both the British and Russian min­
isters remained silent, forcing Obata
to read the communication.
The elections sre still going on, and
as no attempt is being made to alter
the voting schedule, the monarchy un­
doubtedly w ill be decided on.

Washington. D. C.— It was formally
announced at the W hite House Monday
that the marriage o f President Wilson
and Mrs. Norman Galt will take place
“ near the close o f December,” and
that it w ill be private, at Mrs. G ait’s
home here.
This statement was issued by Secre­
tary Tumulty :
‘ ‘ In order to quiet speculation. Pres­
ident Wilson and Mrs. Norman Galt
have authorized the announcement that
their marriage will take place near the
close o f December. Their plans are
for a very simple ceremony. It will
be quietly performed at Mrs. Galt's
residence.
No invitations w ill be
issued and it is expected that the only
geuBts will be the members o f the two
fam ilies.”
Rosamund flinched, but recovered to
•neer, "W ell, then, what answer did
you give him, I'd like to know!”
Carolyn was, for s moment, non­
plused. "Oh, she replied, finally, "1

hard, you know
I (aid I'd let him
know later, so that 1 could break It

"Exactly. So did I ! "
Rosamund,
triumphant, scrambled upon Carolyn *
lifeboat. "But I don't Intend to break
It to him very gently, after th is!”
"N o.”
Carolyn reflected grimly
"W e ought to make It Just a little hard
for him, don't you think? W e mlgbt
even torture him a bit— If possible
Tbe question Is, bow to do It." Bhe
contemplated Rosamund, musing on
revenge
"I don't understand It at a ll!" Rosa­
mund complained. "W hy tn the world

Rosamund's suavity was perfect as
she looked Carolyn over pragmatical­
ly. “ Funny you let Hall Bonlstelle go
so far with you, wasn't It! Say. he
must have shocked you aw fu lly!”
"N ow , see h ere!” said Carolyn firm­
ly, putting ker hand on Rosamund's
arm. “ There's no use In our bicker­

“ Oh, you needn't worry,” cried Rosa­

Carolyn couldn't keep from smiling
now; Rosamund was too much for her.
“ Ob. thank you very much; but I have

her for a moment, then remarked
slowly, meditating, "You call him Hall,

"Oh. Lord. yes. I alwaya call him

amused
Rosamund tossed her head and
crossed her feet, watching the new­
comer sharply.
"W e ll," said Mrs. Royalton, primly
ironical, "I'm delighted that you know
him so well, my d ear!"
"Well, now I come to think of It.
Rena, I doa't know that I do know
him quite so well as I thought, after
all."
She exchanged a smile with
Rosamund, who laughed aloud, harsh­
ly. causing Mrs. Royalton to turn and
stare at her.
"I'm afraid I fall to see tbe joke,"
she said haughtily. "But of course

He's deep; a very subtle per

complacently, "I flatter myself that I

Carolyn shot her a suspicious
glance “ Why ?" she demanded "Made

Mrs Royalton dellberatsly nodded
up and down, and smiled cryptically.
“ Oh. I don’t know— I fancy lie haa

know he has— there's a— well, a sort
of crisis— yes, 1 suppose he would ap­
pear a little excited— but of course I
really have no business discussing It."
"W hat In the world are you talking
about. Rena?" Carolyn exclaimed.
"W hy. I'm talking about Hall Bonls-
telle, of course!"
"W ell, you're not saying much."
"N e ve r mind. Carolyn, dear, It Isn't

You don't expect me to go about re­

"O h !" said Carolyn, narrowing her

By this time Rosamund was bard

to Carolyn's suspicions. She said noth­
ing, but her eyes were hot and shin­
ing, as she scrutinized Mrs. Royalton's
face
"See here,” said Carolyn, now thor­
oughly Interested, "I don't see why I
haven't a right to know. I'm a pretty
good friend of Hall's— you know that—
and I think you ought to be able to
trust me."
"W ell, It Isn't only trusting you— "
Mrs. Royalton looked significantly at
Rosamund, sulkily listening.
"W ell. I d eclare!" said Carolyn
calmly. "Rena Royalton, either you’re

about, as If In search of an excuse. Tbe

first, how to get rid of this Important,

Flodle herself answered the un­
voiced question. Wasn't she as desir­
ous as any of them to bring the thing
to a head? Yes; so she must fly and
leave the field of battle clear. Still
smiling, she disappeared Into th «

She left the door ajar.
Mra. Koyalton rose, with s self con­
scious smile. "W ell, Carolyn," she said,
“ I suppose I ’ll have to tell you, now.

pointing to her third finger.
Carolyn, with a whoop, fell Into
Rosamund's arms, and the two laughed

giggling, " I don't know whether It's too

true. But you ought to be In on this

"W ell. I don't call It a Joke. It’s an
