COMPONENTS OF HUMAN BODY. A French analyst makes the following observations: A normal man of 150 pounds contains in reducible nutritive principles the equivalent of 12,000 bens' eggs. Tho gas of the human organism i.i sufficient to inflate a balloon of 10,000 cubic feet capacity. A human body crn talis ."iifficiont iron to make four nails of five centigrams weigh. A man of this wiegbt contains enough of fat to make seventy five candles and leave over enough grease to make a cake of marseiiles soap. There is a sufficient quantity of phosphorous to make 8043 boxes of parlor matches. The hydrogen portion of the human gas contents would fill n balloon that would lift the weight of the contributor. In addition to the foregoing the human body contains also six tenspoonsful of salt, a basin of sugar and thirty-two quarts of water. PROSPERITY. We are told today that we ought to "pass prosperity around." And bo we ought, but how? For years this government has been passing "prosperity around" among a comparatively small number of men, the the ory being that if they were made prosperous they would share their good fortune with others. Our whole economic policy has been based on that idea. Now the demand is that the government shall make, not a few men, but all men prosperous. If it is to engage in this business at all it certainly should see that prosperity comes to all. Rut is the government, after all, a creator of prosperity? It can, by getting in the way of the distribution and diffusion of wealth, build up great fortunes and monopolies. It can, however, do this only by discriminating in favor of some and against others. There can thus be no equality in government-created; pros perity. There can be no general distribution of it through political action. And yet there is a way in which it can "pass prosperity around." It is. by removing restraints, wiping out discriminations, lift ing burdens and guaranteeing to every man equal opportunities under the law. General prosperity cannot be brought about by extravagance In government, attended, as it must be, by heavy increases in taxation. The men who get the taxes of f ice - holders, contractors, the favored classes, etc. will fare well. P.ut those who pay the taxes will suffer. Prosperity Is created, not by governments, but by the people It cannot be otherwise. Diffused well-being can never bo tho product of taxation or government intervention, for these things tend to concentration and consequent Inequality. We have seen over and over again that government regulation of production with a view to making it prosperous means the control of government by powerf ul industries that want to keep all tho prosperity for themselves. The question, therefore, Is not one of pnssing "prosperity around," but of giving the people a chance to enjoy a prosper ity of their own creating. If the politicians would get out of the way the American peo ple would do very well. After flnothr prolnngfd discussion with relntlon to tho crmtnirt of (ifortfe Gordon to Inntnll a lateral newer In the city, tho city council limt night decided that to declare this check for feited would nie.in becoming Involved In ft law suit, so they decided to re lieve hlrn from tho contract. The council became Involved some time ago In a quarrel hh to whether cement or vitrified pipe should lie used In tho work, and It extended over some time. In tho meantime the contractor had found that a few changes had been made In tho contract, and resting upon this an one ground, and delay In get ting It signed fis another, he asked the contract bo rescinded. Last night a resolution was Intro duced to have Gordon's eheck forfeited on the ground that he had not per formed the work, hut a number of the councllmen saw a law suit looming up before them and voted against It. Gor don wa then discharged from all lia bility. Should he bid for further work In the city there will likely be a dispo sition on tho part of the councllmen to Ignore hltn. Property owners on Lincoln street declared that there was an error ex isting In the grade on that street. With the view of ascertaining the true con dition of affairs, the matter wan re ferred to several committees and the engineer. The health ordinance was amended Inst night by giving the Inspectors the power to arrest persons upon finding ecomposed meats or other foods In their possesion. Prior to this It has been necessary for them to apprehend persons serving them before an arrest ! could be mado. The street committee was empow ered to Improve the Fairground rood for the coming fair. ANOTHER RAILROAD is cor, ORKdON SHOUT LINE EXTENDING ITS ROAD INTO EASTERN ORE. (JON, AND WILL EYE VITALLY REACH THE COAST-VALE THE l'RESENT TERMINI'S. (lly Addison llennelt In Oregiuilan.) Itlvcrsldt, Malheur Comity, Or., Aug. 19. Practically every newspaper read er In Oregon knows that tho llarrlnian people are extending their present Hue, a branch of the Short Line, from Its present western terminus at Vale, Malheur comity, on the west, but Just how far this extension will be con structed ami how much work has been (loon, few know. When work was begun on the exten sion westward from Ontario several years ago, there wna an expectation that tho road would be built clear across tlio state, or at least to a con nection with the Hmilliorit Pacific. And this might have been done, but there rnmo ft time when lh financing of Important deals, even with com panies as strong n the llarrlmnn ro'ids, boenmn almost Impossible on nny reasonable terms. Hence Uie (X teiiKlon was only built to Vale, about it) miles west of Ontario. That has been tho western terminus since. This road Is now being extended about 140 mill's, or, as the engineers ay, to mile pout MO, as nil new work of the hind Is blocked nut Into mites for the convenience of letting the con tracts and general construction work. Hence the full extension from the Hnnki river, at Ontario, will be prac tically 1C0 inllea. The 140-tnlle post westward from Vale make the designated terminus nufh of Por mountain, about two nillei north of Harney lake. In the The "Progressive" i'(irtT.

The place was first designated ns Ixivett, but It was found there was another station on tho sys tem of that name. Further Extciixlon Exported. Of course, It Is generally understood that this will not remain the terminus long, perhaps no longer thnn at any other point west of Vale, for it Is thought the road will be, pushed west ward to Odell, and then southerly to a connection with the Natron branch. Hut there Is no such proviso in the contracts let, The general contractors aro the Utah Construction company of Salt Uike, and they say their contract extends to Arden and nil further. leaving Arden along tho right of way to tho east, over what was for merly called the Corvallls & Kastorn, a road surveyed about 30 years ago, which survey Is set down on most of the maps ns (hit Oregon KaHlcrn the' line runs about 20 miles east and nine miles north to Saddle mountain, and pauses around that mountain to the north, and thence four miles due east to the little own of Harrlman. At the present time this Is the lmt real town to tho west on tho projected Huh, and It him only about half a dozen build ings. Thus far the line has run along to tho north of Harney and Malheur lakes. Harrlman Is almost due north of the extreme eastern end of the lat ter lake, Arden Is about six miles east of the western end of Harney lake. SEATTLE KOI' N DE It IS DEAD.
