Why not be wells
Sick stomach comes from poor food ;
poor nourishment means poor health,
poor comfort. Shaker Digestive Cordial
means health and IA we'll stomach.
If we could examine our stomach we
would understand why it is that so little
will put it out of order.
But, unless we are doctors, we never
see our stomach. We only feel it. We
would feel it less if we took Shaker
Digestive Cordial.
Shaker Digestive Cordial makes your
stomach digest all the nourishing food
you eat, relieves all the symptoms of
indgestion acts as tonic and makes
you well and strong again.
The more you take, the less you will
feel of your stomach.

Literary Notes.

The White City of the Columbian
Exposition gives Mr.. John Coleman
Adams an idea of what modern great
city might be, and he celebrates his
vision in the leading paper of the March
New England Magazine. Other con-
tributors include Benz. b. Trueblood,
LII D., Mary l.. FAY, Richard Burton,
Names Humphrey who writes we'll OF the
"Botanists of New England" Charlotte
Lynn, Charles X. Bolton and Abbie Far
we'll Brown. The issue is of more than
ordinary merit and, as we have said be-
fore, the magazine is one which deserves
hearty support.
The Review of Reviews lives up to its
reputation of fresh epitome OF recent
events, historical, social and literary.
Among the special articles of the cur
rent number are Cecil Rhoades of
Rhodesie," by w. L. Stead. "Household
Economics" The Political Machinery
of France and "a Review of Canadian
Affairs There are the usual careful
editorials, reviews, extracts from con
temporares and summaries
The Atlantic Monthly presents an
unusually long list of contents, all of
which is worthy of mention. We can
instance but few. Rose Hawthorne
Lathrop continues her Memories Of
Hawthorne" and Sarah Orne Jewett has
another pleasant paper in her series.
"The Irish in American Life by Henry
Childs Merwin, has the place of honor,
and perhaps deserves it. There are
poems by Louise |. Quincy and Frank
Dempster Sherman. q. Stanley Hall
presents the first paper in the school
series, entitled, 1.-The Witness of the
Teacher This series is sure to at
tract much attention.
Littell's Living Age is enjoying pros
perity, and deserves its place among the
leading weeklies of the country. Select
ing its material, as its does, from the
leading papers and magazines of the
world and Offering no original matter,
it occupies unique niche in the super
structure of modern periodical litera-
ture.
The March number of the North
American Review opens with an impor-
tant paper on "America's Interest in
Eastern ASIA by the Hon. John Barrett,
United States Minister to Spain. The
conditions which have served to retard
the development of American static
trade in the past, are ably set forth by
Mr. Barrett. together with some timely
and valuable suggestions as to how
American interests may best avail
themselves of the "Asiatic Opportunity"

THE OREGON SHORT LINE.

cific is credited with the following
remark in Omaha:
"My judgement is that the own
ers of the Short Line property as
reorganized will operate it as an in
dependent property, though proba-
bly, in hostility to the interests of
the Union Pacific. 1t will not ma
terially affect the existing tariff re-
lations, 1t will undoubtly injur-
iously affect the Union Pacific if
the Ogden and Denver gate is open
ed to all roads. This would be in
evitable."
This is terse statement of a
fact very important to Colorado
roads. While the Oregon Short
Line was a part OF the Union Pa
cifc system it was 50 controlled as
to prevent other lines from reach
ing into the Northwest coast. As
an independent road, it will not
discriminate in favor of the Union
Pacific, but will receive business
from all roads. This means that
hereafter traffic over the Rio
Grande Western will be received
on the same terms as traffic from
the Union Pacific. AS result the
Denver and Rio Grande and the
Colorado Midland, which connect
with the Rio Grande Western at
Grand Junction, and the Burling-
ton, the Rock Island, the Missouri
Pacific and the Santa Fe, which |
connect with the Rio Grande and |
will have show at the |
business. In brief, all of the trans
Missouri trade will now have
chance at traffic which has hith-
erto been exclusively controlled by
the Union Pacific.
How much this means to these
roads, and how much to the Ore
yon Short Line, need not to be
pointed out at length. Four roads
EAST of Denver will be working for
md competing for the carrying
rade of the Northwest coast. This
business will concentrate upon two
Dads at Denver, and upon one at
frand Junction. and arriving at
Ogden the Rio Grande Western !
nay become more of feeder to
be Short Line than the Union Pa t
ific has been. Certainly the line s
Trough Colorado will be the most c
-idespread as to connections and T
lfuences which control traffic. L
This is one Of the great changes
hich the recent receiverships are +
orking in the traffic map of the =
'ans-Missouri country. The re G
Iganization of the Gulf system !;

Ill be the sale and reorganization ~
