the amount of S275, 600. 600. Prior to

Wooden Railroads.

The following description of wooden
railroad now in use In Bay county,
Mich, will be interesting to those re-
siding in sections rich in hard wood,
but where the dearness of iron or the
thinness of population prevent the use
of metal rails:
There are, first. logs laid crosswise,
about five or six feet apart. The logs
are from twelve to sixteen feet in length.
Then gains are cut in the logs and fiat
tened timber laid IN these gains this
prevents the road from spreading. Our
rails are of hard maple. Before spikiDg
the rails down we put ties across the
stringers, notchiDg the stringer enough
10 let the tie down even with the top of
it, and spike the tie fast before the rail
is laid on. The ties are of two-inch
hemlock plank. from six to twelve
inches wide this prevents the stringer
from rolling,
We would recommend any one who
wishes TO build road on the above
system to build it as straight as posi-
ble We have some curves In our road
and we have been obliged to dispense
with wooden rails on the curves, and
lay down iron. We operate our road
with locomotive power. Cost of build
ing, without rolling stock, is abou
s. OC0 per mile. The stringers ar,
maize of elm, oak, pine, and ash. an,
are fiattened on two sides to ten inche
III thickness.

An Eve Fight on the Cars.

A clergyman writes "Did you ever
have an eye fght--have some person
look at you persistently, catching your
eye every time you looked toward him
Did you ever get annoyed and fix your
eyes on him, and struggle and wrestle
with him, ard finally throw him? l
have many time. was once riding
in the cars with beautiful young lady
who was in my charge. A man sitting
near fixed his wicked, greedy eyes on her
and she was annoyed. I got in good
range, and fought that mans eyes all
the way from Cleveland to Buffalo. His
eyes both needed what no minister,
what no good Christian, could give
them, and, if any wicked man had come
into that car and had given him pail
of black eyes, l should have thanked
the Lord"

last year was 1910; additions since,
1853; loss 60, Of whom % were renewed
by death, 81 were given letters to other

A King at a Republican Court.

This is the way in which his Royal
Highness David Kalakaua, King of the
Sandwich Islands, was received" by
President Grant at the White House:
The members of the Cabinet, Col.
Graut, Gen. Babcock and Mr.. Luckey,
private secretary, were assembled in
full dress for the purpose of receiving
the King. On the approach of his
Maiesty's carriage, the President adj
vanced from the threshold of the Execu-
tive mansion, when the Secretary Of
State and Col. Grant, the latter person
ally representing his father, went to the
carriage and received the King as he
alighted, and, accompanying him on
either side, crossed the platform to the
entrance of the White House, where the
President cordially extended his hand,
received and welcomed the King. The
other members of the Cabinet, standing
behind the President up to the time
that he turned with the King, then en-
tered the room. The Secretary of State
then introduced the President to Gov.
Dominez and Gov. Kapena. He then
presented the King to members of the
Cabinet, Gen. Babcock, Col. Grant and
Mr.. Luckey. The President and King
shortly seated themselves on a sofa, and
the other gentlemen moved at pleasure
about the room and entered into con-
versation with one another. Gradually
advancing to where the President and
the King were seated, general CONVEX
sation ensued. After about twenty
minutes, the King arose, and the Presi-
dent accompanied him to the door, the
Secretary of State and Col. Grant
handed him into his carriage, and the
ceremony was ended

FALSE Love AND FALSE TEETH. -
True love has its usual unpleasant
course in the bosom of a woman IN the
upper part of the city, who loved, not
wisely. but too we'll. Her lover pre-
sebted her with late style set of false
teeth to replace those missing from the
lips where his were wont to stray and
steal the dew of love. But GOODNESS
finally came, and he sought another
object for his affections. She, too,
happened to be toothless, and the lover
had recourse to her whom he had de-
serted. and the teeth were wrested from
her and presented to the new love. No.

SAN Francisco, Sept. 2.-Caliiorma
wheels in line for the Centennial fight
The Democrats have swept the State
Governor and all State officers, Congress-
men and Legislature, elected by immense
majorities."
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3.--The vote OF
the State, so far as heard from, except
San Francisco and Sacramento, which
are much mixed, gives Irving 1854 ;
Bidwell, 9,673. In the Second Congress
sional District, Page, 1891; Larkin, A.
36l Tuttle, 1867. In the Third Dis
trict, Luttrell, 5,64l; Davis, 1866; Reed,
2l65. In the Fourth District, Wigging-
ton, 6,442; Houghton, 4,SO9 Thompson,
1875. In this city Piper is undoubtedly
elected, but other officers are still unde'
cided.
LATER.-The result of the election in
the city is still undecided. The manner
in which the ballots have been counted
renders any estimate difficult until the
vote is further canvassed. Page is pro-
badly elected to Congress in the Second
District. No returns were received to-.
day to modify other previous reports.
