Last Friday was ground hog day.
The tradition is that the ground hog
which is hybernating animal, comes
out of his hole on the 2nd of February,
and if he sees his shadow he concludes
that there will be six weeks more OF
cold weather, and so he crawls back for
another nap. If the ground hog was out
Friday he saw his shadow, and if he
"bnows his business" the severity fthe
last part Of our winter will make up for
the mildness of the rst part.

The most important item of railroad
news announced for several months is
that on May the Burlington and North-
ern Pacific railroads will establish
through-train service in both directions
between Portland and st. Louis by way
of Billings, Mont. To maintain this
through service, ten trains will be re-
quired and orders for the new equip
ment have already been placed. The
new trains will carry sleeping, dining,
tourist and smoking cars, as well as first
and second class coaches. The Burling
ton Route is becoming big factor in the
passenger situation in the Northwest,
and the arrangement now being perfect
ed will undoubtedly have tendency to
make the Billings gateway even more
popular than 1t has been in the past.
