count in that city, depositing $500. lie was
given a liberal quantity of checks, which he
used so ignorantly that he was soon brought
up and told that he had overdrawn. When

There is Jewel which no Indian mine can buy.

THE FLIGHT OF 10Y.

AS sometimes In the very heart Of June.
Which still remembers an the buds OF May
And half foresees the autumn's rich display
And all the splendor of the harvest moon,
As If November had returned too soon,
Cold winds blow, and the sky Is chill and gray,
And all is dpeary that but now seemed gay,
And Nature with herself seems out Of tune
So in the early summer of my life,
Instead of happy strength and strenuous play
Eds cares have come, long wearied of the strife
That youth delights In, and my summer day
Is darkened as by Deaths impending knife,
And would die, for Joy is far away.

II is highly probable that a railway
from Spokane Falls to Alaska will be
constructed within the next few years.
The movement is in its infancy, but it
has the backing Of the wealthy men
OF the Northwest and OF the people OF
British Columbia, and it is believed
the road will be built. The idea looks
strange and impraeticable at the first
glance, but, as matter OF fact, the
obstacles to be encountered in the
construction OF such line would not
be as great as were met with by the
Central Pacific and the Northern Pa
cifc.
II is proposed to begin the railroad
at Spokane Falls, making that city the
southern and eastern terminus. Com
petent engineers place the total cost at
$3.50, 10000 Walter Moberly, en-
gineer for the Government Of British
Columbia, has examined the proposed
route. and believes the route could be
built for less money per mile than the
