Kootenay Railway & Navigation Co

The KOotenay Railway & Navi-
CATION Company is getting to be
quite transportation line and is
making the G. P. R. jump sideways
over in British Kootenai. The K
r. & N. Co. includes the Bedling-
ton, Nelson & Kootenai Valley
Railway, as the road from Boomers
Ferry to Kootenai Lake is officially
designated. the Kaslo & SLOGAN
Railway, the line of steamers on
Kootenai Lake, and new railroad
that the company is building from
the head of Kootenai Lake up into
the Lardo-Duncan country. 1t
will thus be seen that this trans
portation line reaches every mining
camp on Kootenai Lake and River,
in the Kaslo SLOGAN and the Lardo-
Duncan country. In addition to
this, it has track privileges over the
G. p. r. to the Crows Nest Coal
fields, by provision OF the c. P. r
charter, while it has an out
let via the Great Northern at Bon.
ners Ferry. 1t is thus in position
TO hold the G. P. r down IN British
Kootenai and will give that country
two strong competing lines, because
the Great Northern, from sell
interest, will see to it that the K
r, d n. Co. does not have to take 6
back seat. Boomers Ferry will MOI
suffer any by the fact that tn,
Great Northern has an important
connection at this place.

A Debtors Prison Where Immortality
 Reigned Supreme.

Debtors Prison Where Immortality Reigned Supreme.
 The Kings Bench was the largest of all the debtors prisons. It formerly stood on the east side of the High street, on the site of what is now the second street north of St. Georges Church, London. This prison was taken down in 175s, and the debtors were removed to a larger and much more commodious place on the other side of the street south of Lant street. the site is now marked by number of new and very ugly houses and mean streets. In the year 1776 the prisoners had to lie two in a bed, and even for those who could pay there were not beds enough, and many slept on the floor of the chapel. There were 395 prisoners; in addition to the prisoners many of them had wives and children with them. There were 279 wives and 275 children-a total of 1899 sleeping every night in the prison. There was a good water supply, but there was no infrmary, no resident surgeon, and no bath. Imagine place containing 1899 persons, and no bath and no infirmary! Among these prisoners, about hum dred years ago, was a certain Colonel George Hanger, who has left his Me moirs" behind him for the edifcation of posterity. According to him the prison "rivaled the purlieus of Wap- ping, St. Giles, and St. James in vice, debauchery, and drunkenness" The general immortality was so great that it was only possible, he says, to escape contagion by living separate, or by consorting only with the few gentle men of honor who might be found there. Otherwise 8 man will quickly sink into dissipation: he will lose every sense of honor and dignity, every moral principal and virtuous disposition"

Authors in China.

Authors in China have lovely time When the editor rejects a contribution be does not return it together with a cruelty polite little printed slip which states that 'it is not because of any fault with the Ms, but because of the present large supply on hand of matter of the same description" the article is returned. No; this is the kind of let ter the Chinese editor writes:
 "Illustrious Brother of the Sun and Mooni Behold thy servant at thy feet, who kisses the earth before thee and asks thy gracious permission to speak and live. We have read thy manu- ccript with delight. By the bones of our ancestors we swear that we have never found such manuscript! If we should print it, his majesty, the em- peror, would command us to adopt it as a standard and never again print anything not equal to it. As that would not be possible within 10000 years, we return thy manuscript, trem- bling and imploring thy pardon 10000 times. My head is at thy feet and am the slave of thy slave"
 Courtesy could hardly be carried fur ther, and whenever they decline an ar- ticle the Chinese newspapers must make friend of the author.

It was taken home and cared for but showed no inclina- tion to talk until few months ago. It talks as well as parrots, but favors words containing "o'' and Hello, hel- 10, Moses, Ora.

MT. Wood Receives No Encourage
 ment-Few Days Longer.

A meeting was held last night to give Mir. Wood. the street car pro. moter, another chance with his late proposition. As stated before Mir Wood waDts Pine Bluff to put mp S50,000 and grant an extension of charter. This proposition, so far, has met with no encouragement, and is not likely to. Pine Bluff has been very liberal in the matter of this enterprise, at one time subscrib- ing $35.000 and granting a charter for a reasonable length of time. The charter will now soon expire, June l. When an extension is askpd and a raise of the subscription to $5,00O, the issue becomes, practically, a dead one. However. Mir. Wood will be granted another hearing Friday night next. He says he is unwilling to give up the enterprise until it has been further discussed and the citi- zans have dehberated the matter more fully.

great scenic railway and will eVen- tually carry great number of sum- mer visitors every season to the Sacramento mountains A trip over this railroad is a great delight for one who loves the picturesque in nature. The scenery is grand, superb, magnificent. From Scenic Point a grand view IS obtained of the mountain side, the tortuous track which has just been traveled and the broad but barren plains below. A singular thing is a san1 desert forty miles square in the plains below and distant forty miles from the base of the mountain. From Scenic Point this sand desert looks like big body of Wa ater, crest ed with white foam. As we descend ed the mountain another train was ascending, and to watch the latter as it wended it's wormic1lar way to the top was a most interesting and thrilling sight. For grandeur of scenery have seen nothing to sur pass this since my trip lover the loop" between Georgetown and Silver Plume Colorado.
 The railroad people are building a large hotel on Sacramento mountain and making arrang ements for 8 summer chateau, to be opened about June the fist. The altitude of the hotel will be over 5000 feet, and it will no doubt be a delightful place to spend the hot summer months.

There is great activity at his time IT, this new town of Alamogordo. It is the county seat of the new county of 0rtero, and a jail and court house are in course of construction. The Et Paso & North Eastern Railroad Company is building a large depot with offices fol its general officers and Alamogordo will be the head quarters of the road when the build ing is finished. The railroad eOmpa- ny will also locate it's repair shops at this point. About fifty residences and cottages are also in course of construction, and the AlamOgordo Lumber Go. is building a duplicate mill, as before stated. The Ill Paso & North Eastern Railway Co. and it's allied interests, including the LuPb Co.,, the 5 ountain Railway and a local improvement company, are pouring out money like water ont of a rain barrel for the develop ment and improvement of their town and property, and the carpenters and mechanics are in clover. J, A.. and 6. B. Eddy, of Fl Paso, are the promoters, and the money is being furnished by Scranton, Pa, capital ists,
 It requires both nerve ard money to develop this country, for it is an expensive venture and results are purely prospective and problematic- al. The promoters claim, however, that with the opening up of the cOa mines near White Oaks and the de velopment of the mineral resources of these mountains, which are be- lieved to be filled with silver, copper and gold ores, together with the lim- ited cattle and agricultural resOurc of the section traversed by their road, will make their railway and it's allied interests one of the most valuable properties in the country.
 However that may be, this c0un- try of jack rabbits and mesquite bushes is just now enjoying a great boo2-.
