after the hour set, in expectation of
Her Msjesty's appearance. A wait
OF ten minutes ensued al the end of

Engineer Roberts gave head to his
iron horse "Lanaklla' and soon the

pilgrims from their comfortable
quarters in the well.appointed cars,

were much surprised at the tangible

dern date and understandable pro-
duction.

evidences of push and energy AS
noticeable in tue car shops, rolling
stock, steam-dIgger, etc, located at

Dillingham; and his aide, Superln-
