The Montrose Railway, running from
Tunkhannock to Montrose, Penn, is one
of the most unique railways in the
world, in that it has no debt, bonded,
floating or otherwise. The road is
twenty-eight miles long, three-foot
gauge, has two locomotives, twenty
eight cars, including four passenger cars.
Its earnings for tie year ending June
80, 1894, were $40, ,139, and it's expenses
about the same. Its capital stock is
$304,900. 1t is conducted in the most
economical way. A person wishing to
ride has only to come out to the road
and swing his hat, and the engineer
slows up and takes him aboard. Often
times the train will stop long enough
for the passengers to pick berries, and it
can truthfully be said while the road is
run in very accommodating way, it is
not particularly comfortable and con-
venient one.

A BoNAp4RrE IN THE SENATE.

The whlrligig of time brings MANY
strange changes. The present political
situation in Maryland places promi-
nently in the front, and may place
among the lawmakers of our great re-
public, Charles Joseph Bonaparte,
grandson of the King of Wsstphalia, and
granddaughter of mon oncIe, the great
emperor. Other greater and richer in
heritance Is his through his maternal
aucestor-the strong Scotch-American-
lied common sense of William Patter-
son, the merchant prince of Baltimore.
He had, too, a good inheritance from
his father, the "Bo" of Elizabeth Pat
terson- -Bonapsrte's letters. A letter
from him in Rome, dated Jan. Z, 1927,
has the following:
DEAR GRANDFATHER:-I have now
been three months with my father. He
continues always very kind to me
x My father is very anxious
for me to remain with him altogether,
but / cannot think for a moment of set
thing myself out of America, t. whose
government, manners and customs 1
am too much attached and accustomed
to find pleasure in those of Europe, which
are so different from my early education.
1t would, however, give me pleasure to
remain this year with my father and be
OF some advantage to me; but see too
many objections even to this postpone
ment of my return to American, of
which one very important objection is
that with my father I am living in a
etyle which l cannot afford, and to
which, if l once become accustomed,
should, find it very difficult to give up /;
moreover, l am now of an age in which
1 must think of doing something for
myself, and America is the only country
In which l can have an opportunity of
getting forward. = =
Believe me ever your most affection
ate and most obedient grandson
JEROME NAPOLEON BoNAPARTE.
This is a sensible letter from any
youngster of %; from the son of one
whose head was full of crowns and king
doms, and who was perfectly sure-as
has afterwards been fully confirmed by
church and state-that she was the law
ful wife of king; one who had known
princes and philosophers. queens and
poets, men of science and men of letters
but all the time was full of antagonism
to everything American, except Ameri-
can money-from her son it is indeed
remarkable.
Mr.. G. J. Bonaparte of Baltimore,
while he seems to possess many of the
Patterson good characteristics, is in
physical appearance wholly Bonaparte.
resembling strongly in form and feature
the great emperor, his granduncle. Re-
publicanism in Maryland will be in
good and safe hands if placed in his.
1t will be a striking thing if the dis
owned marriage of Prince Jerome should
place in power the only one of that old
Corsican family whose name at one
time could make the nations of the
earth tremble.

Mr.. Farley and the Cascade Portage.

The Klickitat Republican has the fol-
lowing to say regarding Mr.. G. ]. Farley,
a well-known business man of The
Dalles, and one who had a great deal to
do with the building of the portage road
at the Cascades:
Mr.. G. ]. Farley of The Dalles visited
Goldendale the fore part of the week.
Mr.. Farley is the man that built the
portage of the Cascades for the state of
Oregon. Mr.. Farley completed the work
with the appropriation and turned back
to the state a surplus of $1,000. An
event in so exacting a measurement of
tape that was never known in the dis
tribution of appropriated funds before.
Mr.. Farley says that Governor Pennoyer
held the other end of the string. The
latter fact we will admit, but we must
say from our recollection, Mr.. Farley
had much to do with the economic ex-
penditure of the states funds. Mr..
Farley believes Goldendale ought to
have a road and it ought to be built
from The Dalles. He further believes
The Dalles moneyed men would take
part of our railway bonds for such q
project. He believes that this fact alone
would assure ready eale of bonds east,
also the early completion of the road to
North Yakima. Further, he saws for
sometime project has been on foot to
extend line south from The Dalles to
PrIneville and the great Harney valley.
Should the river be opened and the
Northern Pacific connected by rail with
Harney valley there is no question but
such line would stop the entire trade of
Eastern Oregon and Southeastern Ore
gon. The latter trade is now carried
principally to the Southern Pacific and
finds tide water at San Francisco.

This 10 by All Odds the Best Winter Food
for Bees.
Too many people have an idea that.
while only the best honey will do to
market, anything that the bees will
eat is, good enough for them. The
first part of this idea is all right, the
second all wrong. Probably the great
est winter danger to bees is from dys-
EMERY, and that is usually caused by
improper food or a cold hive. OF the
two causes | consider the first most
common. When the autumn honey
flow is limited and much space remains
untitled, the bees undertake to patch
out their stores with the juice of de-
caying fruits, etc. This is totally unfit
for them, and particularly fatal during
the fall and winter The vicinity Of
cider mills is an undesirable location
for an apiary, on that account. The
pomace is very injurious to them as a
winter food. One should be careful.

If butter color is used It should be
added to the cream before ehurning is

than twelve hours loses in quantity and
