Spokane and the Northern Pacific.

While President Cakes, of the Northern
Pacific railroad, and party were in Spokane
the question of building an extension of
the company's track from that city to the
Spokane smslter was presented for his con-
sideration. The business of the smelter has
been largely interfered with owing to the
lack of railroad facilities. When the smell
ter was completed the Northern Pacific de-
clined to build an extension of its tracks to
it, and in consequence the works have never
been started in operation. 1t appears that
there is a contract in existence which speei-
ties that in the event of the smelter being
started and a railroad being built to it, all
the carrying to it will be given to the
Union Pacific. Mr. Cakes informed some
of the citizens of Spokane that while
the Northern Pacific was not in way an
tagonistio to that city or its interests it
did not propose to build railroads
for the benefit Of the Union Pacific or any
other road. 1t ia also claimed that the
Northern Pacific officials nave assurances
that it is not the intention of the company
that owns the smclter to operate it. If the
extension is built the railroad demands
that it be given some guarantee that the
works will be put In opel alton.

Tia new locomotives are of a heavier and
more powerful type than those now in use

The Reduced Ticket Question.

A committee of the Western Passenger
association is considering the question of
reduced tickets on the certificate plan. 1t
appears that parties are in the habit of ov-
erestimating their numbers greatly with
the view of getting reduced rates. Now it
is proposed tt grant reductions only on
condition that an agent of the association
visit the gathering on account of which the
reduced rate is granted and satisfy himself
that the requisite number Of people are in
attendance. If not, no certificates will be
issued, making the delegates go home for a
one-third fare. The Central Traffic asso-
citation has already taken action in the
matter and adopted the plan now under
consideration by the western roads.

Railroad officers are in a very anomalous
condition at the present time. The usual
order OF things is reversed. Western roaos
are generally regarded as the reckless ag-
~rressivs ones md are held responsible Tor
the greater part Of any decentralization that
NAV exist, Eastern roads had secured Tor
themselves a reputation for conservatism
and an all-pervading desire to MAINTAIN
standard rates regardless OF consequences
Now all this is changed. 1t is the eastern
roads that are the rate cutters and the west
ern ones are posing as the conservators OF
the peace of the railroad body pol'tic.
Since the first of the present year rates have
been unusually firm everywhere ~thouRhout
western territory. The roads here have
been observing their agreements and Keep
inaf faith with each other in n highly COM
mendable way, and any few complaints
that have been heard have been of no great
importance and the grievances that gave
rise to them have been easily adjusted.
The very reverse of this is true in eastern
territory. Since the opening OF navigation
rates there have been thoroughly democrat
lied. and they are daily becoming more 80.
Conference after conference has been held
with q view of arranging matters on a basis
that will be satisfactory to all concerned,
and agreement after agreement has been
arrived at to stop all irregular methods,
only to be broken before the ink with which
they were written was dry. Rates. both
east bound and west bound, are merely
nominal. The roads have practically been
taking whatever rates they can get for any
freight they can secure, and IN many cases
they have carried freight at rates that
would barely pay for the running expenses
of the train on which it was carried. The
worst feature of the case is that the
Generalization that exists in east
ern territory, if it goes on I'M
checked much longer, cannot be
confined there. II must inevitably spread
to western territory. 1t is altogether too
much to expect that the western roads will
patiently see their local business being de-
stroyed because the eastern roads see tit to
carry freight from Boston to st. Paul for
as little as it is being carried from Chicago
to st. Paul. Unless the eastern roads come
to their senses present local rates IN west
ern territory cannot be maintained.
But the latest move in rate-cutting, and
one which las left all other lines out of
sight, has Just been made by the Lake Su-
perior Transit company in connection with
The Boston & Albany railroad. These lines
announce a rate of Al cents, first-class, from
rate is also good from Boston points, OF
those which have the same tariff as tina,
city. 1t applies only to boots, shoes ane
rubbers, and went into effect last Friday
The old rate was so cents, SO that the line
have reduced the tariff by just one-half.

D,,lon on the Union Pacific.

On his return home President Sidney Dill
lon, of the Union Pacific, after an 5000
mile trip of inspection over the line, sale
he found the track in good condition
There were, however, all along the lint
broken cars, mostly freight, and broken en-
| pines, This was an evidence OF great neg
~ligence and shiftlessness somewhere. MIR,
Dillon said it was evident, though, that the
resources of the road had been overtaxed,
and that an effort to make quick Time NAG
been been disastrous to the rolling stock
Two months would be required for repairs,
which have been begun. Probably about
5000. 600 will be the outlay in putting the
| iolling stock in order, and the road will be
in good trim in September. The operating
expenses this year will probably be less
| than last year.

beau three times after leaving him for
the night below stairs-once when she
reached her room, again when she
thought of another thing to say before
disrobing, and yet again in her wrapper,
after she had made herself otherwise
ready for bed. And at that time there
were other lovers talking from one bal

about the relationship of a man and
woman when you see them at a place
like this there is one very sure way of
settling whether or not they are married.
When the waiter makes out the check
for the dinner, watch the man who is
going to pay it. If he nervously clutches
at the check, brushes it in his hand and
hands the waiter a ten dollar bill with.
out looking to see how much he owes, he
is not even engaged to the girl who is
with him, and stands in mortal dread of
her opinion of him.
eff he takes the check and scans it
with some care and then quietly hands
to the waiter a sum approximating the
total, he is very likely engaged to the
girl, and is willing for her to think him
businesslike and precise.
eff, however, he allows the waiter to
place the check on the table, and leaves
it there for his companion to see and
study, then they are married. It is only

ga year after marriage, however, they
discuss together the prices on the bill of

Catching Terrapin.

In the shoal waters along the coast
south of Cape Henlopen terrapin are
caught in various ways. Dredges dragged
along in the wake of a sailing vessel pick
them up. Nets stretched across some
narrow arm of river or bay entangle the
feet of any stray terrapin in their meshes,
but these require the constant attendance
of the fisherman to ave the catch from
drowning. In the winter, in the deeper
water, the terrapin rise from their muddy
quarters on mild, sunny days and crawl
along the bottom. They are her taken
by tongs, their whereabouts being often
betrayed by bubbles.
Turtles will rise at any noise, and
usually the fisherman only claps his
hands, though each hunter has his W
way of attracting the terrapin. One
hunter whom l saw uttered a queer gut
tural noise that seemed to rise from his
boots.
Whatever the noise, all turtles within
Neutrality-suspicious. terrapin or snapper
will put their heads above water. Both
are welcome and are quickly sold to the
marketmen. The snapper slowly appears
and disappears, leaving scarcely a ripple,
and the hunter cautiously approaching
usually takes him by the tail. The ter
rapin, on the contrary, is quick, and will
descend in an oblique direction, so that
a hand net is needed unless he happens
to come up near by. If he is near enough
the man jumps for him. The time for
hunting is the still hour at either sun
rise or sunset.-St. Nicholas.
