Snake River District.

Work is progressing rapidly ON the
Northwest railroad down Snake river.
Men and supplies are arriving daily and
about ago men are actively at work at
the different camps, which are scattered
along the river for 10 miles.
Laird's gang comprises about 90 men,
who are blasting and doing rock work,
while Orrnan & Crook are finishing
grades on all the available ground before
making the heavy fills.
One mile of grade is completed and
track is being laid on it from Blake s
Spur, two miles below Huntington, to a
point below Nagle. Rolling stock is now
i ON the wav and construction train will
be put on at once.
The surveying gang is cross-sectionine
High Point, through which tunnel O
about 400 feet will be made. This is this
only tunnel that will have to be made in
the entire route. The grade level will be
about 20 feet above Snake rivers high
water mark and will be kept at this level
all the way. The contractors state that
new camps will be established as fast as
men can be obtained, and they will take
| all the men that will come as they intend
to work 1000 just as soon as they present
themselves.

The New Spokane.

The new steamer Spokane arrived
Thursday, with Captain Baughman i'll
charge. The initial trip was made in
about ten hours. This, considering the
heavy load, and the condition of the ma
chinery, everything being new, was re-
markable time. The new boat is lighted
by electricity and heated by hot air and
elegantly furnished throughout. When
running up to her capacity will reduce
the time for making regular trips about
four hours, arriving here about noon.
The new schedule which went into effect
yesterday is as follows; Steamer leaving
every day except Saturday at IL o'clock
and arriving here every day except Sun
day at about O'Clock.

One paragraph of the army re-
organization bill provides for the re-en-
1istment of the volunteers and officers III
Manila. 1t seems to be generally as
sumed that the boys all want to stay
there and fight. Gen. Otis reports that
officers and men are anxious to re-enlist.
It seems to be the plan to re-enlist the
volunteers for six months or until the
natives are subdued. 1t seems to be
generally understood that the govern
nent has no authority to hold either
officers or men for longer period with
out re-enlistnient.

Mary Fairbrother's Will.

WEDDING PRESENTS.

AS October seems to be a favorite
wedding month, a few words on we'd
ding gifts may be timely.
Presents to the bride and BRIDE
groom should be sent about a fort
night before the wedding, or, at any
rate, not later than a week.
A present should be in accordance
with the position of the recipients, as
we'll as that of the donor.
In one detail etiquette has much
improved. Once a wedding present
was expected to be something orna-
mental, and If you inquired the origin
of all the useless objects in the house,
you invariably discovered that they
were bridal gifts. We have changed
all that, and an ornamental chair or
afternoon tea table is quite accept
able.
1t is not easy to see how the diff
Guilty of duplicate is to be combated.
Some donors try to cut the gordian
knot by asking the bride-elect to
name something she would like. 1t is
unfair to place any one in the posi-
ton of choosing gift for themselves,
without any idea of what the giver
wishes to spend. The more delicate
way would be TO commission the
BRIDES sisters to find out what pres
ents would be the most welcome to
her.
People do not always write letters
when they send a wedding present.
1t is less formal to place the card of
the giver inside the packet, with some
little message of love or good wishes
written upon it, in accordance with
the degree of intimacy existing be-
tween the giver and the recipient.
The bride elect must be careful to
acknowledge the gift at once. The
week before wedding is so hurried
that an oversight at such time might
be pardoned, but negligence is thing
that some people find hard to forgive,
and it would be sad for bride to lose
friend upon the threshold of her new
life through having neglected such a
trivial observance.

mOped dismally, sneezing at intervals in

was to have me sit beside him and put
my hand through the wires OF the cage;

with one hot little claw, say "HillO!" in
a husky whisper, and so to sleep. He re-
covered as the spring came on, and was
as gay as ever.
He delighted In round objects which he
could chase about the floor Of his large
cage. He would get wildly excited over
spools and marbles, and played with
them as gaily as kitten.

In the subject Of liquefed air, as l am
sure all who real Of the wonderful things

twenty to one hundred times more pow

amount Of heat applied. Charles e. Trip
Ter, the inventor, announces that his
liquid air motor Is now a success and
that the liquid can be- manufactured
Cheaply, and can be used for propelllng
railroad trains, steamships, and in fac

The True Story OF POIIy.TOm.

Polly came to me when was tired, Ill
and lonely, a birthday gift from my little
boy.
He was a green Mexican parrot, with a
yellow head, and yellow and red epaulets
on his shoulders, and his solemn, round
eyes and great white beak gave him a
ridiculously wise and aged appearance,
although the baby bird was not yet a
yeaG old.
He was very shy and quiet for a few
days, and | feared he would never talk,
but / always exclaimed, "Hillo!" when l
went into the room, and would tempt him
and coax him by holding his food near
the cage when he was hungry, and in
less than a week he greeted my entrance
into the room with CHEEKY, "HillO!"
My hearty laughter made him very
proud of himself, and he very soon picked
up the name which some of the family
gave him, and would exclaim, "HillO,
POlly!" with much satisfaction.
/ usually called him Tom" which
seemed to puzzle him, and he often tried
it over in whisper, as parrots usually
do before speaking in public, One day,
after some very amusing gymnastics, he
astonished his mistress by saying, in a
very patrOnlzing tone, "Hillo, Polly
Toni" and that finally became his name.
He was a very affectionate fellow, and
became immensely fond of my husband,
whom / usually called Jack. About 5
o'clock each day Tom became very un-
easy, would listen for sounds in the lower
hall most intently, with his head cooked
on one side, and when he heard the front
door bang and cane or umbrella rattle
in the holder his excitement knew no
bounds, and his, "Hillo, Dack! Dack!"
could be heard all over the house, nor
would he be quiet until his master had
petted and played with him awhile.
"Howdy-do?" and "goOd-by" were soon
added to his list Of accomplishments, and
rarely used at the wrong time. He had
a keen sense of the fitness Of things, had
our Polly-Tom.
But to hear him telephone was the fun
niest Of all! He was in the same room
with the instrument, and 1t was used
great deal, usually with the hand held
over the bell when ringing up" which

long conversations by means of 1t, never
thinking that the solemnly attentive bird
was taking notes."
One day, as l sat in the next room,
was convulsed with laughter to hear a
perfect imitation of the whirring sound
emanating from Toms cage after which
came sharp, "Hillo!" He waited a mo-
ment then gabbed something meant for
a number; waited, then said, "Howdy-
do?" and proceeded to initiate the voice
in conversation perfectly, with rising and
falling infections and interrogations;
then he paused to listen, then said,
WHAT" in a most amused, incredulous
way, and laughed heartily, After an
other pause, to hear what was said, he
gabbled little more nonsense, said,
well, good-by," and rang off.

was! After that the family often heard
