transcontinental line, presumably
as punishment for its unfriendli-
ness to the Northern Pacific. 1T
will be recalled that Seattle places
a diadem of dollhouse fl 1wers on
the brow Of President James ]. Hill
every time he visits the Pacific
coast. When President Mellen
comes he finds a crown of thorns
awaiting him. When Seattle grants
certain privileges connected with
the building of a union depot on
the water front, the city may then
be allowed to see Union Pacific
cars come in on the Northern Pa
ciffc tracks. President Mellen has
dead morta! cinch on Seattle in
this respect, and he will be backed
up in it by the Union Pacific, for
union depot and its privileges will
be as useful to one as the other OF
the two roads.
president Mellen has evidently
driven hard bargain when he ex,
acted the use of $50 miles of track
in exchange for only 100 miles.
And, besides this, the Oregon road,
or its successor, the Union Pacific,
has to construct Seventy-seven
miles al track between Riparia and
Lewiston. Last August, when
the truce was declared, a good
deal of grading had been done on
the proposed road along the Snake
river. 1t is safe to say that fully
one-third Of the grading is finished
and several construction gangs
were called off the WORK when the
truce agreement was announced.
Now the Union Paci6c must take
up the work and finish it. The
settlement of the difficulty will
leave both roads free to prosecute
the construction of new lines, I'M
hampered by warfare. Allow
ing that the Unian Pacific carries
out the pans which seem to have
been made by the Oregon road, the
seventy seven miles of grade along
) the Snake river will be finished
There is every indication that the

lear idea of the railroad situation:
1.-THE announcement that an

tween the Northern Pacific and the
oregon Railway & Navigation
ompany respecting a division OF
erritory is considered authentic by
those who are close to the scene Of
he controversy. 1t is a logical
ettlement of all the differences of
opinion and is a high compliment
10 President Mellen's sagacity.
That the vast interests of the
Northern Pacific should be pro-

Illustrated by an incident that recently

Post. A reporter called at his home,

came in, dressed in evening clothes.
Il am due at a dinner and my ear
rage is waiting at the door, but what
do you want me Z" talk about?" he said
pleasantly. The reporter told him. 1t
was a subject that required broad and
special knowledge, and he had scarcely
hope that even Mr.. Depew could give
an interview without looking up data.
and he knew that there was no time for
the senator to do that.
How many words do you want 10

About five hundred said the report

Instantly the senator began. He talked

Interest in the bubonic plague has so
increased among physicians in New York
that the board of health has decided to
build a psychological laboratory in
which to study germs. 1t will be the
costliest small building in Greater New
York, measuring but 26x50 feet, yet TO
quiring an expenditure Of over $4,000.
Owing to the virulent nature of bubonic
germs, this laboratory will resemble 4
"bombproof" more than anything else. 1t
will be constructed of steel, with solid
asphalt walls. Descriptions Ct the new
structure are being prepared for distribu-
ton among large cities of the United
States, it being the first official effort
made this side of the Atlantic to study
the plague scientifically.

DR. Henry D. Chaplin of New York, in
a recent contribution to the Medical Rec
ord on Summer Heat and Public
Health" puts in few good words for
street trees. "As trees maintain an aver
age mean temperature Of 81 degrees Fab
rcnheit, in all seasons" says DR.. Chaplin.
1T is easy to see what a constant cool
ing influence they possess in an atmos-
phere Of 30 degrees. Add to this the con
slant eXhalation from the leaves of
watery yapor that has been absorbed
from the moisture in the soil and from
the surrounding air, and the cooling Of
feet is most enhanced. This takes place
most actively during the heated portion
of the day, when it is most needed. 4
general publication Of the air is not the
least benefit to be derived from ycgc-
tation, as carbonic acid is absorbed and
oxygen given out just the reverse Of
what takes place in the animal economy.
The purifying and cooling influence of
trees placed uniformly throughout the
city would have q marked influence on
the public health i'll summer"

At place called Kotron. OH the French

on its back alive and we'll Since that
time they have never eaten or DESTROYED
