Fiona Main 82. THE GENUINE EMPIRE BUILDERS. "L8E WHERE IN THIS ISSUE we print ft communication from D. C. Lew jTi is, of St. Johns, who criticises Tho Capital Journal for its editorials about Jim Hill. Mr. Lewis says ho has read and re-read the editorials I i in quOBtion, and can find no motive for thoir being written. It is of , course not Our fault that Mr. Lewis failod after so many readings to understand the motive, for it was stated in so many words. For his benefit we will ropoat some of tho reasons. We stated frankly that the building of tho Hill roods were necessarily benoficial to tho section reached by thorn; that the building of railroads anywhere opened up and dovulopod the country, and that so far hs that f oature of Mr. Hill 's work was concerned he was bene ficial to tho country. We Btated that while he was building these roads for the benefit of himself and those associated with him, that bo was not to blame for that, for the reason that that waB the great first causo of effort, to bettor one's own condition. We also stated that tho objection we had to tho laudation of Hill was that ho was getting lots of praise handed him that did not belong to him. We objected to him standing up in public and telling the world that tho prices of Oregon lands were too high. Wo objected to his injuring the chances of those Oregonians who have with ceaseless toil howad out a little farm, to sell that farm. Theo hardy pioneers know that Oregon land, Willamette valloy land, is not too high; thnt it cunnot bn brought under cultivation for loss cost than tho prices asked for it; that it will produce crops that will yield profita blu returns on tho prices asked for it, and that Hill's attack was unwarranted, untrue and uncalled for. That is one reason wo resented his acts and words. Notwithstanding tho rather verbose defense of Mr. Hill by Mr. Lewis, wo still fail to recognize the flirt that he built any empires. His roads helped develop the section they reached, but tho empire builders, whether of Minnesota, Wy oming, or Oregon, are tho hardy and un afraid pioneers who went far in advance of civilization, and braving all tho hardships of frontier life, paved tho wny for the coming of railroads, which, whilo necessary to their full development, Cairo in the i liferents of tho railroad builders. They did not build empires, they simply exploited them, Mr. LewiB frankly fays ho "hopes tho Hills will make good money off their 800,000 ncrcs of hind so they will havo more to In vent In other worthy enterprises." So do wo, and we are not losing any sloop fearing they will not do so. They can be trusted to attend to thnt. Mr. Lewis thinks we are trying to pull Mr. Hill down, Tfo known as well as wo do that nothing wo can say or do will affect Hill or Hill's railroads in any wny. Wo realize the necessity of railroads and had as soon son Mr. Hill build them as any one, for they aro all actuated by tho some motive, to mako money for themselves, and the Hills give as prompt, as good and as perfect a service as any of tho others, Mr. Lewis 1b ap(nrontly somewhat of a hero worshipper and thinks Hill worthy of boing made a fetish. We do not agree with him in this, but wo do, after reading his article, agree with him in his statement that our "newspa per space is too vnlunbla for tho use wo aro putting it to." HARD TIMES FOR RAILROADS. FIFTY-TWO RAIUIOADS unst of the Mississippi and uorth of the Ohio and I'ototnan rivers have usked the interstato conimerco commission to be permitted to increase their rates fivo per cent, basing their demand on a shewing made by tho combined roads of having invested in the betterment of tho roads and In meeting tho demands of commerce in the past three years, a total of mnro thnn $0,000,000. At the name time these roads make a showing that while they have oxpcmlod these vast Bums on their prop erties tliut the Minting are $111,311,321 less than in 1010 when an apxnl for a ten r cent raise was denied. The claim is made that this five per cent is not really as much of an increase as tho railroads should have to make anything like fair returns on tho investment. Tlio Pennsylvania system had Invested more than $200,000,000 since 11)10, and Its net operating incomo was $11,485,511 less tluin before this money hud been put into tho roads. This Is indeed a discouraging showing, and Indicates that business must havo fallen off or that there aro too ninny railroads. Tt also Indicates that poor judgment was used in making the investments. Against this view the railroads say the Improvements wero absolutely noeessnry, in order to proper ly conduct their business and to moot the demands of trade, If the shewing is correct, tho roads will probably bo given the Increase asked for. Tho railroads are entitled to fair, just and honest treatment, just the same as any Individual or company is, and patrons of tho roads do not want their work done nt a loss to the roods. The reason there is so much fooling against railroads Is not for what they aro doing now ss for what they have done. However, thnt feeling should bo dropped, and the railroads met frankly and fnirly when they are on their good behavior, Kdlter Lorimer, of the Saturday Evening Post, expresses it nicely in a little story. A man walking along the street wo suddenly bitten iy a dog. The man had not bothered the dog and there was no reason for the dog's action. The next day tho dog whs lying on the sidewalk and tho in an seeing him, basted him with k stem,' The dog complained, and loudly pro claimed that he had been struck without cause. He had forgotten thnt he bit the man the day be fere, but the man had not. The railroads are not biting any one now, but the people have not yet forgotten tho biting of tho net very remote pant. forcible. After saying that a pkunk doported from Skunkville as being too mean and nasty for his fellow'skunks to associate with, and making other de rogatory remarks and suggestions, he wound up,, with, the statement that "a man who would deliberately poison another man 's dog, was a pedicular hobo ' who would deliberately rub up against a one-armed man and give .him phthi- riasis." That's what lie said, but as to what he mc?nt, we pass. STORY OF A FRONT TOOTH. While the city officials ore debating about the. decency or indecency, of the tango as a dance, the upper circles of fashion in Portland try it out and say it is all right. Tho socioty leaders with charming naivete say, "it all de pends on who dances it, and that the way low-down people flance it is really vulgar," but H loses this common and vulgar trait when the dancers wear silks and satins, instead ot just common gowns. It looks sometimes as though about all the offices possible had been created but now Portlund comes to the fore with a new one. That moral conter now has a "City Inspector of Dances." 1 'isiiiiiiii i A, Uy-"- kI A ." ...... . v v"-T , -i, tl The president's danghtir, Jeosie, la now Mrs. Hay re, and Is her way to Ku ropo. If all the good wishes of an entire nation can havo any effect on her future, alio will through a very long life meet nothing but joy and happiness. We only regret that the wireless will prevent tho young couple from disappear ing from public sight and hearing long enough to enjoy a short honeymoon. A Small Fortune That Was Restored to Its Rightful Owners, Ono winter morning a little boy of eight or ten years ran Into tbo office of the United Charities In New York city crying bitterly. Between his sobs he gasped out. "Uncle has stolen mother's front tooth; please get it bock for us." His mother, then lying dead at home, was an actress. In her youth she had had a lnrge diamond Inserted In her front tooth, and the advertisement had proved profitable. As the years passed misfortune over took her; she wns deserted by her hus band; the family larder was often empty and the children hungry. Reso lutely she refused to part with the dia mond, always telling the children that after he? death the money It brought would support them for some time. When the little mother became 111 with tuberculosis the children hushed her fears about their future with reas surances of the value of the Jewel. But before the funeral a wicked uncle came In the night and pulled out the tooth. An officer wns sent at once to the uncle with threats of arrest If restitu tion was not made nt once. Tho mis sion was successful, the tooth restored, the diamond taken out. sold and the proceeds used for the children. Con densed From Survey.

However, the people of this town hud recently turned against the theater, ond the license was far beyond what wo could puy. We wore almost In doHpulr. for our sltuutlon wns desperate, not enough money to give our piny Iu the town whore we wero and not enough to get to the next town. "Finally my father found a young lawyer who listened to his story with sympathy and promised to help us. He succeeded in getting us n permit to play free of cost. We made good money thnt night, which enrrled us on to the next town in comfort. "I recently played In this some town, which Is now the good sized city of Springfield, mid I visited the cemetery where that young lawyer now lies. On tlio stone which marks his grave Is carved the nnme 'Abraham Lincoln.'"
