BOOMING THE WEST.
Railroads Expect to Build 200 New
Towns in the Near Future.

Railroads Expect to Build 200 New
Towns in the Near Future.
Railroads centering in Chicago are
booming the territory between Lake
Michigan and the Rocky Mountains, and
it is expected that 100000 will be added
to the population in the next eighteen
months. Pamphlets stating plainly the
resources and advantages of the West are
being distributed throughout Europe as
well as in our own New England and At
lantic coast States, at the expense of the
transportation companies. New towns
are being staked out along the lines of all
the railroad extensions. The number of
new towns that will appear on the maps
Of the West within the next year or
those to which from 600 to 600 new pOpu-
lation is to be added already number lib.
Before 1902 it is believed this number
will exceed 200. Areas neglected in the
past, while trunk lines were building, are
receiving the closest attention from rail
road land commissioners and traffic man
ayers.
The railroads know that with new set
Elements there will be increased freight
business, and the carrying of passengers
between local points will add immensely
to their revenues. Where the companies
own the land on which they locate d town
they are giving away free of charge a
site for a public school and another for
a church. The Northwestern road has
10000 acres of unsOld land in South Da-
kOta and 10000 acres in southwestern
Minnesota. This ranges in value from S4
to $15 per acre. In Wisconsin and Mich
igan, the Chicago, Milwaukee and ST..
Paul road has between 100000 and 70O,
900 acres of what was once classified as
worthless land, which it claims now is ex-
ceedingly rich and we'll suited for timothy
hay, celery and sheep raising. The land
sells for about $3.50 an acre. The Santa
Fe is booming the southwest and the
opening up Of new lines has already re-
suited in the location or development Of
eighty new towns, representing an in
crease in population of fully 25,OOO The
Northwestern Pacific is doing similar
work in the far northwest. 1t has opened
up twenty new towns, with population
exceeding 10000. The Great Northern
is developing the unsettled portions of
northern Dakota and is about to open
fifteen new towns, with population Of
5000.

of great Importance were slated for con
sideration during the gathering, and II
was thought it would probably be two
weeks before final adjournment.
The Rev. DR.. Charles A. Dlckey OF
PHILADELPHIA was elected moderator. Hls
principal competitors were DR.. Mchlbon
of Cincinnati and DR.. D. W. Fisher OF
Hanover College. The new moderator
is opposed to the revision of the creed,
and his election is considered a victory
for the conservatives. DR.. D1ckey said
he was inclined to regard the agitation as
much ado about nothing, that the men
who bob up here and there throughout
the country with a TRADE against the
Westminster confession were seeking no
toriety or else failed to comprehend the
relation between that confession and the
presbyterian church.
..The Westminster confession" he
said, sis now and always has been mere
ly a system of doctrine and as such is
subscribed to by every minister of the
church when he takes his vows. There
are many things in the confession OF
faith that are not subscribed to by min
listers at the time of taking their vows
and the various presbyteries have allow
ed great latitude of individual thought
and ordained many men holding views
apparently at variance with the logical
significance of certain clauses, yet in per-
feet accord with the general doctr1nl
system it reveals"
The question of revision of the West
minister confession is not new one.
Eleven years ago certain doctrines of
the creed. notably those concerning cleo
ton and preterition. were thought too
strong, and a committee was appointed
to act on their revision, but in 1893 only
sixty y-seven out of 22O presbyteries ap-
proved any amendments.

The defense of Mafeking by the heroic

coupled with endurance under prlYatlon,

The Union Pacific road owns more land
than any other railway in the world.
When its line was run through the unde-

forty miles in width was granted, which
extended west from both Kansas City
and Omaha almost to the Pacific coast.
SO great was the acreage given that to-
day the road, having sold thousands Of
tracts, still owns and has for sale almost
all the land along the line from Laramie
to Green river on the main line, 272 miles
of land forty miles in width and 200
miles of equal width on the Kansas di-

mile strip through the whole of Kansas,
Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming and a part

When good-natured eaSy-gOing Fritz
asked his American wife to go down
town and pick out some little present
for his sister in Germany he sighed.
He had squandered his fortune, but his
sister still had hers, which careful Teu-

can wife knew nothing Of her sister-In-
law, but she fully appreciated the linn

the difficulty Of sending a gift so far
as Germany, so she went to repository

a dainty bag of chamois leather en-

word Money" to indicate its use as i
secret purse to be worn about the neck
for safety in travelling.
It semed an innocuous little gift but
Fritz nearly went into Mysteries of de-
light when he beheld it. ''Ach! the
very thing" he gasped. Il would not
write and ask her-no! but Money
and 'forget-me not, ach! it is the most
beautiful reminder
At that the American wife protested
and would fain have withheld the pres
