Northern Pacific Version

President Mellen, of the N. p.
r. r. says: 'There are contracts
which have been in existence since
1880, signed by the presidents OF
the two companies and ratified by
both boards of directors, specifical-
ly assigning the Clearwater and
much other territory in that region
to the Northern Pacific. The
Northern Pacific is not building in
any direction where any other rail
way company has right, morally
or equitably, to object. There is
no likelihood, in my Judgment, of
any serious complications, but 1 be-
lieve the whole controversy will be
settled by negotiations which have
been broken off and which will be
resumed as soon as the holiday
season has passed. believe the
roads will get together and come
to a complete understanding"
Mr.. Mellen was in Lewiston last
week and said to a Tribune report
er: II will say that a railroad
will be built from Lewiston down
Snake river, but whether by the
Northern Pacific or o. r. & N. has
not been determined. The news
paper accounts of fight between
the two roads have been greatly
exaggerated and are to be deplOr-
ed. The fight has been mostly be-
tween the lesser officials of the two
roads and in the newspapers.
Those who control the destinies of
the two roads will act amicably to-
wards each other"
Mr. Mellen's attention was called
to the fact that the o. r.. & N. had
three surveying parties above Lew
iston and rights of way were being
purchased for the extension to
Camas Prairie, which moved him
to remark that "rights of way cost
but little money and indicate moth.
ing. Securing rights of way near
ly 200 miles from the railroad is
not an index that railroad is tc
be built. The Northern Pacific
. follows right behind its surveys
grading and laying track"
: "Tell the people something about
the proposed Missoula cutoff, Mr.
, Mellen."
y "We have let contract for six.
ty miles up the Clearwater, which
is all we have decided upon for tht
r present. When that is completed
r we may make another contract
The cutoff will be built, of thar
you may be assured. And 9
through continental line will q
down the Clearwater and Snak'
rivers. Perhaps the Northern viii
z own one part and the 0. R. & N
the other. If SO they will work il

worse than it does to be on

I. What does your company pro

Corea's Unique schools.

Miss Louise Chase, formerly en-
ployed as teacher in the pu bile
schools in Hurley, S. d., who is no wv
missionary In Corea, writes an inter-
esting letter to friends in South Da-
kota in regard to the unique schools
in that far off land:
"The teacher is always an old man.
He sits on the floor in the front end
OF the room and never gets up to see
what pranks the children are up to in
the back end Of the room. He is al.
ways dressed in white, keeps his hat
on in the house, leaves his shoes out
side OF the door and smokes his pine
any time he wishes during school
hours; he has no time piece but goes
by the sun. The pupils all gather
about nine o'clock and study till IL.
The teacher calls the attention of the
children by tapping on the floor with
long stick, and he uses the same
stick on the heads OF the boys who
do not behave well.
@Little girls are never seen in the
Corean heather school. 1t is only the
boys who are educated. They begin
school at the age of or years and
stay until they are about II. They,
during most Of these years study, the
Chinese books of history, science and
religion, and also study the Corean
geography. They all want to know
the Chinese characters because they
think that China is the most power
full and popular country in the world,
and as the Coreans have always been
ruled by China they have sort of
reverence for that country.
"The boys never wash their faces or
hands or comb their hair before COM
inE to school in the morning and you
know the boys never cut their hair
till they are 20 years old. They al
ways wear great baggy trousers with
yards and yards of white muslin as
the only material in them. Their
coats are also Of muslin. colored pink
or blue or purple. The little straw
shoes and white stockings look very
pretty when they can afford to wear
them.
HThere are number of Christian
schools For girls now in Corea. The
girls come to the little church room
to study two evenings out OF the week
They learn the native characters to
read and write them, and then have a
bible lesson and commit to memory a
great many scriptural texts. They
study evenings because they have to
work very hard through the day help.
