Important Meeting.

The State Board of Agriculture
are discussing the propriety of hav-
ing a test of dehorning machines
at their meeting in October. The
test will be held at some stock CEN
ter in the State and veterinaries
will be selected to decide as to
which machine does the work in
the least time and causes the least
pain to the animal. F. B. Hearne,
of the Live Stock Indicator at Kan
sas City, is working the matter up
and we think it will be beneficiary
to the stock feeders of the State.
Our people should move at once in
this matter and secure the meeting
for Mexico.

Chauncey Depow on the Future

There viii soon be . revolution In the
speed Of railroad trains in America. The
tendency Of the times is towards more
rapid transit in travel, and the great rail-
road corporations are going to keep Sin the
swim" Chauncey N. Depew while not a
believer in fast trains owing to the excess
sive danger in fast running says that in
ten years express trains on American roads
will in all probability be making an aver
age Of sixty-five miles an hour between the
big cities. This prediction Is made with
the expectation of new inventions, num-
Der Of which are now under consideration
by the Vanderbilt system officials. Presi-
dent Depew does not believe that the safety
devices can be improved on to very great
extent, and that with faster trains there
will be more danger, although many exist
ing deficiencies can be remedied.

Smcoths out the rutfled fronts of kings.

With patriotic ardor ponder
On what old Rome essays at homo
And what her heather DO out youder;

Disturbs the quiet of this farml
God in His providence ohseures
The goal beyond this vale OF sorrow,
And smiles al men in pity when
They seek TO penetrate the morrow.
With faith that all Is for the best,
Let's bear what burdens are presented.

steam at Yonkers, Peekskill, Poughkeepsie
and other towns. At each of these points
fully minute and half is lost from the
time the engineer shuts down till his ma
chine returns to its normal speed. If we
did not have to reduce speed between this
city and Albany We could probably make
the run in two hours and say twenty min
utes, and that is pretty fast time for IA
miles can tell you."
s.Now as to bridges and culverts and
their relation to speed and safety, Mr.. De-
pew"
"Well they. too, must be improved on to
help along greater speed. There should be
no wooden culverts in the railroad of the
future and bridges should be made Of iron
and stone. This viii do away with destruc-
ton of life and property by ire and greatly
increase the safety of travel. Now with
stone and masonry for roadbeds, iron and
stone for cuiverts and bridges. and with a
track straight as existing stations will per-
nit, running through cities in viaducts
with no grade, We can talk about running
our engines at q greater rate of speed and
with greater evenness of notion
"And now what Of the rolling stock and
motive power?"
"Yes. I suppose improvements will be
made in rolling stock, although 10 look at
some of the great limited trains to the
West with their magnificent cars one can
hardly imagine anything more commodi-
Gus or comfortable. The only improve
ments in cars that anticipate will be in
the heating apparatus, and by reducing
the weight at the same time retain the
strength. II can hardly be predicted that
there will be no change over the present
system of heating by steam. While steam
heating was q great advance over the car
stove yet it is likely to be hettered. 1t is
useless to speculate on what device will
bring about the change. Something new
is turning up avery day. 1t takes time to
test the new inventions and harmonic
them with their surroundings. Before
their utility can be determined they must
be tried under ali the conditions to which

best conditions now existing among the
various railroads Of the world. To make
the model railroad we must first look after
the roadbed. The iron tie will come in the
course of time it is more than probable,
and the bed on which it is laid will be
made of none to hold the earth filing.
Wherever There is liability Of washont
it will be constructed Of solid masonry.
By getting the roadbed, first of all, in a
perfect condition, using stone and iron IN
place Of timber and rail, we lay the tirst
foundation for greater speed and for great
er safety. We consider the roadbeds on
the Vanderbilt system A No. /, but we ad-
vance with the times. Curves and grades
viii be done away with to q great extent,
and wherever it is possible in the railroad
of the future. To accomplish thisexisting
and if necessary tunnels cut.
elbow about grade crossings as preven-
tive to speed and safety?"
Next to getting our perfect road bed
with tracks straight and level the grade
crossing is of vital importance. 1t will
have to be abolished, and on the great
roads probably win be in the course of q
few years more. When the grade cross
ings go you raise the percentage Of safety
to life fully 25 per cent. Tracks will have
to be depressed through corporate limits,
and this will do away not only with the
crossings but with restrictions now laid
by the municipal corporations on the
speed of railroad trains. Railroads can be
depressed in such manner that fast
trains need not check their speed in pass
ing through the towns. Take for example
train we are now running on the Gen.
trail between this city and Albany. Last
week train No. Is, drawn by engine S92,
made run Of twenty-one miles on the
Mohtwk division in twenty minutes. In
side of . year we can run the new engine
to Albany in two hours and forty-ive min
utes, distance of 144 miles. You must
take into consideration the slowing up in
leaving the depot in this city, the passage
through the tunnel and the shutting off Of

CHEHALIL, June Especial. Work on the
South Bend extension of the Northern Pacific
railroad is being rushed forward as vigorously
as ever.
The first story of Mrs. Barrett's new three
story brick hotel and store building is nearly
completed. This will be one of the finest build
ings in Lewis county, and win cost upwards of
$4,000. 1t is TO be provided with all modern
improvements and lighted with electricity
throughout. The ground floor will have six
large stores fronting on Main and North streets,
running clear through from street TO street.
The council expects TO have the electric
lights running before the end of the week, and
have finally fixed the rate that they will charge,
which appears to give general satisfaction. It
Is based upon tho Olympia Electric
Light Company's schedule, but is
from 10 to 20 per cent. lower
Over $50 lights have been spoken for and are
being put in, and il is expected that almost
everyone viii have lights in their residences, as
no additional charge ia being made on all lights
installed before the plant is in working order.
The county commissioners have been in SEES
sion for the past three days, chiefly engaged in
settling bills. They have also granted four sa-
loon licenses, two of them being at Little Falls.
Chehalis will not celebrate on the Fourth.
Winock, Newaukum, Napavine, Toledo and
Little Falls have all made arrangements for
rousing time, and ChehaIis people will divide
