the .. Il. & n. company will have
a much better roadway between
the upper country and Portland.
AT the present time, the company
ha, the finest roadway ON the coast,
having a water level froi IA Umatilla
to Portland, which is re cognized as
the ideal roadway among railway
systems. With the Snake river
valley road completed, there will
be a water level roadw ay all the
way from the upper country to
Portland.
The advantage accruihg from the
proposed arrangement IS that the
company will avoid the grades now
encountered between ST. lrbuck and
Wallula, and it is one Of the first
principles of railroa ding that
grades must be avoided whenever
possible. While the main loss will
be Walla Walla's, Pendleton will
also be affected, for it is inevitable
that almost all the entire volume
of business will go via the cutoff.
The company in the interest of
good railroading is COZ inpelled to
make the change, and will profit
much from it.-Pendleto On Z. o.

So numerous are the queer beliefs con-
corning the number seven that a MARIA
ton of them all would fill a volume, says
the ST. Louis "Globe Democrat but we
may mention a few of them. From the
very earliest ages the seven great planets
were known and ruled this world and
the dwellers in it, and their number en-
tered into every conceivable matter that
concerned man. There are seven days in
the week, seven holes in the head for
the master stars and seven" seven ages
ages both for man and the world in which
he lives.
There were seven material heavens, and
in the underwood described by Dante the
great pagan dead who were not good
enough for heaven or bad enough for hell
reposed in a seven-walled and seven-gasad
city. There are seven colors in the spec
trum and seven notes in the diatonic oc-
tave. and the .leading'' note of the scale
is the seventh. Be 1t noted hat the {
enth son is not always gifted with bene-
fcent powers. In Portugal he is believed
to be subject to the powers of darkness
and to be compelled every Saturday even
