Whatever departments we may be de-
flcient in at the Worlds Fair, It is now
an assured fact that the two great In
terests OF Clatsop county-timber and
fish, win be amply represented. Glad
as we feel that this Is the case, II is not
at ell pleasant to note that such re-
suit has been brought about more by
the efforts Of a handful OF men than by
the united and spontaneous exertions
of the majority OF the citizens Of the
county. 1t Is indeed an astonishing
fact that in q matter involving the
very blood of our existence in CONNER
cial life, people have been so negligent
and disinterested. The newspapers Of
the country without an exception have
been very generous in allowing the use
OF their space for the dissemination Of
any statements that would tend to
stir up the feelings OF the public In this
matter. and have. we are convinced.

UP IN A BALLOON.
After Many Trials, Balloon at Peaks ISL
and Takes Up an Eronaut.

A week ago last Saturday the first ball
loon ascension of the season was an
nouncedto take place at Peaks Island,
and thousands ot'people went down to see
II. They were destinedIto disappointment
however, as the high wind prevented the
ascent Three times since has the attempt
been made only to fail until yesterday,
when those who went down were re-
warded by seeing the prettiest ascension
ever seen on the island.
1t was just 5.45 when Prof. Leo cried
Every let co. and shot heaven
ward. Up, up went the balloon in the
direction of Long Island until the daring
eronaut looked no bigger than pin.
The crowd cheered as he started and
then breathlessly awaited the leap. 1t
came when the balloon was just over the
swamp where the fire has been raging
for the past few days. Like lump Of
lead Leo dropped. it seemed, for 200 feet,
then suddenly bounded up again, then
descended as slowly and quietly as one
could wish.
AS he neared the ground he jumped
from the bar and landed safe and sound
while the parachute was caught IN tree.
The balloon was picked up over back of
Days camp.
The spectators who had been down so
many days felt amply repaid for their
trouble, and Manager McCallum feels
that it is still within the possibilities for
balloon and aronaut to go up together.
Everybody will be anxious to see the
Professors next jump.

parent had to make him new incuba-

enough.
His new nursery is larger and more
comfortable than the first one, has better
ventilating apparatus, and one of the
sides is made of glass so that Joseph can
be seen reposing in his little wire basket
lined with wool. There is an automatic
regulator that closes the ventilators if
the temperature falls below SO degrees
and opens them. if it rises above 100. Jo-
seph now takes his nourishment from

The idea of incubators for prematurely
born infants is not an entirely new one.
Most well equipped maternity hospitals
have them, and many precarious ex-
istepce has been preserved by their use.
Joseph's great good luck lay in the fact
that one was found for him at moments
notice and without any foresight of the
necessity for it, and that some one who
understood the scientific principles in
volved was at hand to take him in charge.
He owes his life to an intelligent me-

Things looked very doubtful for Jo-

MRS. W. H. ToBIN. preliminary con-
vention at Dallas, where some 800 were
present, decided TO have two organiza-
tions of men and women respectively.
The women went to work with will
and not only gathered very respecta-
BILE lot Of Texan specimens of work and
curios, but raised money in all the effect
i've ways known to women. At the end
of year it was found that the men had
done practically nothing except to spend
all the money the ladies had turned over
to them, for the latter were under con-
troll Of the former so far as finances
went Then the ladies determined on
an independent organization and in spite
of persistent opposition got it incorpo-
rated July 26, 1899.
1t was late, but they accomplished
wonders. Mrs. w. Fl. Tobin of Austin
was unanimously elected president, and
several vice presidents and directors
were chosen. In every city and good
sized town some lady was chosen to
lead in the work. They gave elocution-
airy contests, readings, suppers, concerts
and balls and finally got up voting
contest for the most popular young lady
in Texas, which brought a few hundred
dollars from the young men. Their zeal
attracted attention, and some large con-
tributions were made by men interested
in the state. George Gould and G. P.
Huntington gave $4,000 each--more, in
fact, than all others contributed.
Thus the ladies not only raised the
money for the building, but enough to
secure statues of the heroes of Texan
history, and these make quite an addi-
ton to the display. Among the ladies
most prominent in this great work are
Mrs. 3. M. House, Mrs. J. B. Stuggs of
Dallas, Mrs. Val @. Giles, Mrs. j. M.
Burroughs, Mrs. Judge Henry, Mrs. G.
r. Drake and Mrs. Anna D. Hearne.
The fact that Texas is represented at the
fair at all is due entirely to these ladies
and their associates.

THE PROPOSED ELECTRIC ROAD.
GFrom Our Regular Correspondent
One of the latest movements for de-
veloping the resources of the Western
part of Maine is now in progress in York
county. 1t is proposed to tap the Port
and d Rochester Railroad at Centre
WATERFORD by an electric road or a mar
row gauge steam road leading to LINER
ick, distance of 10 miles. An engin-
eer from the Westinghouse Company has
lately looked the ground over, and pro-
nounces the plan feasible The road can
be constructed with little difficulty
through scenery of great beauty. The
estimated cost of the road is $50, 200.
Several enthusiastic railroad meetings
have been held by the citizens of LINER
lex, and considerable part of the re-
quired capital has been subscribed. It is
quite probable that the whole amount
will soon be raised, as energetic efforts
are being made to induce all former res
ldents of Limerick, who are interested in
the prosperity of the town, to help the
road with their subscriptions. 1t is be-
lieved that the traffic now existing on
the route is sufficient to insure reason
BILE profit for the proposed road, and it
is expected that a largely increased bus
mess would result Immediately upon the
road. The farming lands of Limerick,
Parsonsfield and Cornish are especially
rich, and only need closer access to the
markets of New England to receive larg-
Ell and more intelligent cultivation. A
continuation of the road from Limerick
to Cornish may be one of the succeeding
events. The possibilities are many for
extensive changes III the traffic of the
southwestern part of the state
when once road is put in operation
through the rich and beautiful Ossipee
valley. There is no doubt that business
enterprises will grasp the opportunity to
locate upon the line Of the road, and that
many people will take advantage of these
facilities to build residences in this re-
gion, perhaps the most healthful and
picturesque in Western Maine.
