Slams great teak and ebony forests
are several hundred miles from the coast.
These are so dense that the superintend-
ent of the construction of telegraph, Mr..
Fritz-an American-consumed two or
three months in cutting a way for a line
through n forest of sixty-five miles.
There was an advance party of some
500 natives cutting the trail, and a Sec
ond party of 40 putting up the poles
and wire. Elephants were used for all
carrying. SO terrible was the jungle
fever that in that one jungle some $50
natives died within two months. If a
dose of twenty grains of q%uinine failed to
break the fever death almost immedi-
ately ensued.-Carter Harrison in Chi

THE LILY OF THE NILE.

You know that great white lily
That stately cup of creamy snow
That rcars an alabaster lamp,
With broad green blades belowf ,
Nudge has, within her chamber,
This scion of Nilotinn race
To typify the purity
That reigns about the place.
One day a bud, fresh opened,
Shone out a flower, full bloom and fair,
And Mhdge-it was a way of hers
Bent down and kissed It there.
Her ripe, red lips touched softly
Upon the cup Of creamy snow
OH would that / a lily were
That Madge might kiss me sol

brasxa. Count il the Z. q. q M. ", all
ready here; the Cheyenne & Northern,
and whet do we. see? We have the half
Of gigantic wheel, with the Hills as It's
center. In order to arrive at these con
illusions we have not overstated facts.
The actions Of the railway companies
speak louder than anything that can be
said. After having gazed at the lines as
drawn, look ahead into the future.
Where are these roads going after hay
ing reached the Hills? They surely do
not intend to stop here? Mere building
to the Hills would be no object to them.
They are looking beyond into the vast
territory with no direct eastern and nor
thern connections. VIII not the country
southwest, west and northwest be grid
ironed by them? Undoubtedly. These
companies are not building to the Black
Hills for, the purpose Of making them
their western terminus, but only station
and one of the principal points on their
way to the Pacific coast. When that is
done we have the wheel complete. Then
will the Black Hills become in truth the
"hub" Of the west; the common center
of all the great railway systems of this
section Of the country. Then will the
Hills have direct communication with
Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Mon
tana, the Pacific coast states, North Da-
kota, Manitoba, Minnesota, Kansas, Ne
braska, and direct connection via the
Northern Pacific and Manitoba with the
great lakes and the eastern sea-board.
Before the next generation will have pas
sed away we will be on one of the great
through routes from tie east to the Brit
ish Possessions and Alaska, having direct
communication with Asia via Behring's
Straits.
To some this may look visionary. To
those We would say, study the geography
Of your country carefully and see for
yourselves il these representations are
not only possible, but from common
sense view extremely practicable and
highly probable These roads are not
building for us alone, but for generations
yet to come, and taking into consider
alton the development Of the Western
Hemisphere in the past, things that look
improbable and visionary now, will be
stern realities long before this great gov
eminent celebrates its next centennial
The local points in the Hills through
which these roads may pass, matters not.
The localities gaining them are of course
to be congratulated, but not SO much SO
as the Black Hills in general. To what
ever towns they build, through whatever
cities they may pass, will only add fresh
laurels to the whole Hills. Wherever
they go, be it to Rapid City, Sturgis,
Deadwood, Custer or Buffalo Gap, or all
of them, it viii not be for the interest of
those towns alone but for the prosperity
and greater benefit OF the whole Hills
country. Let the towns of the Hills pull
together, remembering that sin unity
there is strength" and that whatever re-
suits in benefit to one, rebounds to the
glory Of ALL
