, '"I may not know-as much about the cost

but aevcral railroad .nen have been trying
hard to Instruct 'irre the last few day.
The; assistant general passenger agent of

- r " ' "

to pie. that for . the., whole Union Pacific
system, Including the Oregon fihur line and
the lines in Colorado and Wyoming and
the mountain state, where they charge
passenger i cent a mile, the average
earning last year per passenger per mile
wa 1.68 cent. Thl wa for those who
paid full fare and for those who had half
fare ticket and for those who rode on
passes and paid nothing at all and he said
th number who rode on passes constituted
4 per cent of .the whole number.
-"If they will atop th pas business and
the halt-far dispensation and other special
privilege and charge I cent flat I do not
believe the road will suffer any diminu

up their passenger earnings at the end ot

Mr. Rosewater here told of his conversa
tion with a motorman on a street car, who
ssld that last summer he had had a pas
to Chicago and half far from ther to
New Tork and return; also that the street
oar boy always got halt far when they
seoured ,1 request through their general
manager for themselves or their families.'
"And did you believe him T" interrupted
Q. W. Holdrege.
."Tea, sir, J believed him," came the quick
reply. "And I would believe him Juat aa

ha never to my knowledge told me a false
hood. ."It seems mighty queer to me," continued
Mr. Rosewater,- "that among the committee
who passed thla resolution are some of
the same men who went, to Washington
about a year ago to testify for the
railroad before a congressional com
mittee, , and aome of the aume . men
who , went to Chicago year ago to a
convention called to back up th president
in hi demand for railroad regulation,' but
who attended the rump convention oppo.

to me that th came men go to the front
for the railroad so uniformly."
Mr. Rosewater spoke shortly en the sub

Immense holding ' of th rati road In
Omaha which go practically untaxed.

hi hand. On of th' boy took hi gun
and we took him to Blmpkln' cabin and
kept him till morning and then took him
three mile out on th trail 'and I killed
him. Three of u were together all th

a man by the name of Lewis, a Spokan
man, had placed him on the claim. "'

We finally got out by going to Olover'
cabin and got a canoe and went by way
of the Bt Joe liver. We landed above the
Olover ranch and let the canoe drift. We
waited around there until the sheriff came
UP to Investigate th matter ot th death
of Bouls. .Then we went back to the place
and blew up the cabin. I do not rerambr
how snanyor whether It was all of them
or net. There were two or three at least
Th sheriff did not find both bodies, only
the body of Boole, which was close to
