New Line Taps Wheat Growing Territory.
The Enid and Tonkawa railroad, the
new line which the Rock Island has
been building for the past few months
In OklahoV,a. east from North Enid
has been formally opened for traffic.
This new line of railroad is about 26
miles long, and is built through sec.
ton of the territory exceptionally rich
for wheat growing. Three stations
about equal distances apart have been
established on the new road and have
been named Chopper CARRIER and Bill.
ings.
This line gives promise of being one
Of the best paying branches of the Rock
Island. Within the past few weeks
during which time part Of the road
has been open for traffic over 50 cars Of
wheat have been hauled out. At each
OF the three stations Hourishing towns
are springing up and elevators and
other buildings are being erected as
fast as the material can be procured.
A few days before the line opened there
were so carloads of lumber and sup
plies on a siding at Enid waiting for
the completion of the track to be
hauled to Billings.
This new railroad is already favor
tie with the farmers of the territory
through which it passes and they are
jubilant over its building.
Fisheries.
Fish Commissioner Little has re.
ceived partial reports from Puget Sound
canneries and places the estimate OF the
seasons pack between $4,000 and
80, 900 cases. While the fall pack was
disappointing the total exceeded by
considerably over 100 per cent the pack
OF last season and places Puget sound
next to Alaska rs the greatest salmon
canning district of the coast.
Three acres have been bought on the
Little Spokane river for a state fish
hatchery, and buildings will be ererSed
at once to cost 81, 500. About 100000
900 "baby" salmon will be shipped to
this hatchery from the Chewaukum
hatchery on the Wenatchee. 1t is re-

tied 100000 Eastern trout in the
Yakima river at Gle Elum few weeks
ago.

Furnishing the nursery,

froH the st. Louis Star.
The room selected for the nursery should
be- If possible, large and lofty. with a south
aspect. The walls should be prettily pa
pered, and let the pictures and photographs
be good, so that children may be trained
from their earliest years to appreciate ar
usuc things. good picture is full of
teachings to thoughtful child. Cork car
pet is better than ordinary carpet, and
there should be a high fender. well secured,
before the fire, to avoid accident. A cup
board in nursery is most useful and al
most necessary. Children love to have a
place of their own where they can hoard
their hundred and one treasures, and many
a wet morning can be pleasantly passed in
turning out and rearranging them. Gas
should never be allowed in a nursery, as IL
NltlateS the atmosphere. A good lamp
should be used instead, placed on a bracket
sa1ely out OF the way, so that there Is no
danger of its being overturned. There
should be a good. roomy sofa. so that the
little ones may lie down if not feeling very
well, and a low rocking chair and footstool
Tor the nurse, or, at any rate, low chair.
II the rocking one is not approved of. A
crawling rug is capital thing for a baby,
and II can be decorated and embroidered
sensations of animals, birds, etc. A ther-
mometer should hang on the wall and the
temperature be kept as near GO degrees as
possible. If the nursery is obliged to be on
the attic floor ii is a good plan to have the
slate whitened with a mixture of lime and
size. This will help to keep the room cool
in summer

THE CYCLE SHOW.

New York, January 2l.-The Cycis
show of 1899. opened at Madison Square
Garden tonight with an attendance Of
5000. Most of the manufacturers who
have new models and new mechanism
for the coming year have practically
agreed upon the same thing. For IN
staLce all of the lamp manufacturers are
showing gas lamp. All of the cycle
manufacturers are showing chainless
wheels, and two or three of the largest
are exhibiting automobile tricyoles,
trucks. business wagons, carriages, mail
wagons, etc.
In the chainless wheels the bowel gear,
the roller gear or the roller pin gear
with slight variations. Is always the
feature. In the automobiles the only
difference Is 10 the construction OF vehi-
Gle and the placing of the controlling
LAYERS and sometimes the substitution
of naphtha for gasoline While there
were no freaks, there were many novel
ties in accessory parts and crank hanger
devices. One which attracted much at
tention was n ooasting and back pedal
ling mechanism.

NOT A MOCK BATTLE.
Captain March of the Aston Battery
Denies German Story.

Buffalo. N. Y, January 2l.-The Astor
battery, on route from Manila to New
York city, where it will be mustered out
of the service OF the United States,
stopped here for three hours this after
noon. When informed that Count Won
Sonnenberg had referred to the fighting
around Manila as a mock battle and had
stated that Dewey's bombardmeut bad
amounted to nothing, Capt. March said
he did not wish to start controversy
with Emperor Williams military repre-
sentative, but as a matter of fact
Dewey's bonn bartiment did materially
affect the amount of lighting in the as
sault which followed. particularly in that
part OF the line which was nearest the
seashore. That accounts for the small
loss of life on the American left; the
Spanish had been driven back. i know
that the Spanish Infantry were not only
driven in. but many were killed by the
fire from Dewey's ships"
