LITERARY NOTES.

The Review of Reviews for December
sustains with remarkable enterprise
and ability the great reputation this
magazine has won for timellness, exact
pertinency and wide range of interest
Among its almost countless illustrations
are groups including some thirty of the
newly-elected Governors of States.
No other magizine could possibly have
secured and made such illustrations
and actually embodied them in its
December number, for in many in
stances it was not definitely known
until the middle of November who
were actually elected as Governors.
The editors review of the election and
his discussion of the results will attract
wide attention. The editorial depart
ment entitled ''The Progress of the
World is unusually extended this
month.

KEWAUNEE A FACTOR.
1t Is Taking the Cream of the North
western Business.

The kewaunee route is fast becoming
factor in western business. Its handi-
cap of lake transfer on ferrvboats
from Green Bay to Frankfort was at
first considered too great to allow of
active competition. But the ferry boats
handle about seventy loaded cars each
way a day, and are taking the cream Of
the Minneapolis -four traffic.
The line is now branching ont into
western territory and has made deals
with the Chicago Great Western for a
route to Kansas City ard st. joseph
and with The Rock Island for an Omaha
terminal. The route in each case is
over two hundred miles longer than
the direct routes via Chicago. but that
makes little difference in LOO mile
freight haul. The Chicago Great
Western gets 400-mile haul out of the
Kansas City business, delivering the
traffic to the Winona and Southwestern
at Mcintyre. The latter line takes it
to Winona and thence via the Green
Bay, Winona and st. Paul to Green
Bay. Here the cars are run on the d
car ferlyboats and delivered to the
Toledo, Ann Arbor and Northern
Michigan at Frankfort. At Toledo the
Lake Shore or Nickle Plate carries the
traffic to Buffalo, where it is delivered
to the Lackawanna. On Omaha bust
ness the Rock Island is the initial line,
delivering the traffic to the Chicago
Great Western at Des Moines. New
ferryboats are now being built, as the
service seems to have passed the ex-
