THE RAILROADS.


Recently the passenger agents OF the
Burlington system made tour through
the west. The trip was one for pleasure
and incidentally TO give to the passen-.
ger representatives better idea OF tho
west. such Information being OF sreat
value to them in tIckeiIng tourists to
points OF interest in that vast country.
There were about twenty in the party,
headed by p. s. Eustis. general pesseh-
ger egent OF the Chicago Burlington &
Quincy, OF Chicago. and ]. Francis, who
holds the same title on The Burlington
& Missouri River RAILROAD, with head
quarters at Omaha. Accompanying
them were the general agents 0f tho
passenger department Of the great Bur-
lington system from points all over the
west. The party were IN Wheeling part
OF q day during the trip
A member OF the party was Colonel
w. u Shaw, the well-knOwn and whole
soulel district passenger agent OK the
%" at Cincinnati. says the Columbus
Journal Colonel Shaw is perfectly IA
miiiar with the country from The AZ
lantic TO the Pacific and is one OF the
most successful passenger officials IN
this neck o. the woods" He Is just
now receiving congratulations from his
numerous friends on his promotion
from travelling passenger agent to dis
trict passenger agent. While the party
were stopping IN Salt Lake City, Utah,
the Daily Tribune OF that city published
quite a lengthy notice Of the party ana
the trip they were making which cons
tanned the following complimentary
mention ofCoonel Shaw:
Colonel BIZ Shaw. of Cincinnati is
the life or the party. During tnirty-one
years experience with the passenger de-
partment of the Burlington he has nc
quired fund OF humorous Information
that has startled the inhabitants Of
every nation on the globe, Colonel Shaw
can never be induced 10 explain the
method by which he inveigles To his side
the man who s thinking Of making Il
Journey and then routing him over the
Burlington His opponents say that the
genial colonel IS n sort Of AmeTican-
ized Svengal! and that he hypnollze5
while one waits. The story is told OF
him that recently he was on sleeper
between Kansas City and Chicago when
the passengers were much annoyed by
crying baby Colonel shaw took the
child from its mothers arms then, ca
rcssing the infant. he crooned lula
by. with the result that the child was
soon fast asleep. II is further related
that the gallant colonies parting salute
10 the mother was even more affectlon-
ate than q brothers salutation. but this
could never be Rscertaincd definitely, a.
the lady declines to discuss the matter
further than TO admit a preference for
the Burlington.
"a further proof Of Colonel Shaw's
hypnotic powers is related by a mem-
bei OF the party. who said that after
their THANKSGIVING dinner at the Hotel
Colorado at qlenwocd Springs, the coll
onel was called upon for speech. Soon
a strange lethargy stole over the party.
and In n few minutes all were fast in
his hypnotic embrace. When they

HOOP CANAL. Nov 9 1907

HOOD CANAL, Nov. y, 1897.
The report of the weather bureau
for October gives 90 as the highest
temperature and 80 as the lowest. with
so as the average for the month. Two
and three-tenth inches of rain fell in
nine days. AS thus far this year we
have had only about 80 inches of rain
against 40 for the same months last
year, and as during November and
December SO inches fell, as much as
we have hac this year, we must either
calculate for an immense amount dur.
ing the rest of the year or last year
was very extraordinary one IN re-
gard to rain. The report of the whole
State for August, shows that the lines
of the same temperature are exceeding
~ crooked. That of Union City of &c
degrees, begins On the Columbia river
near the middle southern boundary of
Wahkiakum county, runs northerly to
Montesano and Union City, then
souther1y to Olympia and Manifold in

then northerly through Tacoma, west
erly into Kitsap northeasterly to Sno-
homish, southwesterly to stampede,
northeaster1y across the Cascade
mountains, when it recrosses them
northwester1y and goes to Whatcon.
and then crosses the northern line
little northwest of that place.

Questions the Proofs Offers.

Judge Hanford has rendered an
opinion dismissing the suit of Mary
A. Henry VS.. the Lilliwaup Falls
Land company and Ida M. French.
The action was brought to recover IL
tie upon land in Mason county, which
she claims was settled upon by her
father in 1853 under the Oregon Dona-
ton law. The settler, although he
made final proof, never received the
government certificate equivalent to
title. In 1874 the lands were survey
ed and parties filed homesteads on the
property and removed landmarks des-
ignating the old donating claim boun-
darieS.
The court questions the proof of the
boundaries of the donation claim
which was never resurveyed after the
removal of the official markings until
the regular government township sur
vey. and the case therefore establish
no precedent as reg ards the rights of
holders of donation claims

"America's Wonderlands" is the
title of a splendid book for which Mrs.
Mary Cyphert is taking orders. 1t is
large volume of 512 pages, of history,
legend, adventure and Photographic
wonderland equal to 5000 pages OF
the ordinary book, GLIDING 500 grand
photographs OF the finest and most in
tereSting scenery of America. Several
Alaska and Northwest views are among
the number. The history of the Van
ished races is very interesting. 1t is a
truth that even those who can we'll
afford it are unfamiliar with the SPLEEN
did scenery OF our own country, but
here is an opportunity within the
reach Of everybody to have these spIen-
did reproductions at hand. The chill
dren, as we'll as their elders, will find
many hours of pleasure and instruc-
ton in looking over this splendid
volume, and its many tales of adven-
ture and legend, as we'll as the we'll
written descriptive matter, will inter
est all the family. AS beautiful
holiday gift book, we could suggest
nothing better The engravings are
works of art, and being Photographic
reproductions, are true to nature. The
book is 99x12 inches, in substantial
bindings for comfortable ornament,
if desired. The price is from SIS up
wards, according to binding. Mrs.
Cyphert can also offer easy payments.
"Fruitage," the monthly magazine
devoted strictly to fruit and its culture,
is the best thing in it's line. We fur
nisll 1t to JOURNAL subscribers for Is
cents year, because we desire our
fruit growers to get the benefit of it's
valuable information.
There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together and
until the last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be constitution
FL disease, and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. ] Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon
full. 1t acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circu lars and testimonials. Address.
