Portland by the new route is 110 miles.
The highest elevation is 5000 feet at
klickitat pass and the greatest grade
would be 2 per cent. BY the way OF
Wallula the distance is $40 miles and
via Tacoma, 3Os miles. 1t now takes II
hours to reach Portland by either route.
BY the new route the round-trip could be
made in a day. On the new route trains
are now running regularly for IL miles
and Is miles more are under construc-
ton. Rights Of way have been secured
for 80 miles and it only remains to con-
struct 20 miles more of road to reach the
st. Helens district. The rest of the way
to North Yakima is so miles which
could be constructed, engineers say, with
less trouble than that which has been
built

Good News From Pasco.

The HERALD made the mistake few
weeks ago in saving the Northern Pacific
Railway Company are laying five miles
OF new siding, at Pasco, to take the place
OF the old siding. Ii the HERALD were
published at Pasco instead OF North
Yakima it would have known that the
enormous amount OF siding at this place
is in excellent condition and that the
company is adding five miles Of siding to
their yards instead of replacing that
amount. Pasco is to become one OF the
largest towns in the state The COM
pany realize this fact and are building
on the ground floor They already have
one OF the largest yards in the state at
Pasco and are making the town one of
their permanent division centers and
just as soon as irrigation capital inves-
tigates the advantages the Columbia
River basin offers Pasco will lump to
the front and rival the best towns Of
the state in their palmiest DAYS. She is
already beginning TO pulsate with some
definite and devinable impulse and no
one need feel surprised it, at any time,
the crack of a progress thunder clap is
heard in this yicinity.-Pasco News-Re-
corder.

Meanest Man in Kansas.

Not long ago the wife of western
Kansas politician asked him to lay
aside politics long enough one day to
dig the potatoes in the garden. He
agreed to do it. After digging for a
few minutes he went into the house
and said he had found a coin. He
washed it off and it proved to be a
silver quarter. He put it in his jeans
and went back to work. Presently ne
went to the house again and said he
had found another coin. He washed
the dirt off of it. It was a silver half
dollar He put it in his jeans. 81

his wife; II guess I'll take short

his wife had dug all the rest of the
potatoes. But she found no coins. 1t
then dawned upon her that she had
been worked"

were seeing the other man off. All
Of them are exhibit attaches at the
Pan-American exposition and the
fourth man was leaving for his home
in a far western state. With his
three companions they had started
for the train several hours before
train time, and they had spent most
of the intervening time in drinking
his health. Naturally they were in a
mood to be a little careless of the
depot regulations.
About half an hour before train
time one of them discovered there
was later train which their friend
could take and arrive at his destina-
tion just as soon, while the new ar
rangement would lengthen the time
they would have to express their re-
gard for him at sundry bars. They
reptired to the depot to have his
ticket changed.
While he was going through this
ormality at the ticket office they
stood little way back in the wait
ing-room putting vigorously on
strong cigars. A policeman ap-
preached, but he wasn't gruff at all.
With a pleasant smile and a strong
Hibernian brogue he remarked:
Its ivident none Of ye gentlemin
believe in soigns."
why not?" asked one of them.
Because" replied the diplomatic
policeman. "there be wan over there
which rades: No smokin' allowed in
this waitin' ROOM"
Three cigars came out of three
mouths with a chorus movement, and
there was no more smoking.

separated from him the dog would
pine away.
Tom first demonstrated his mind
reading qualifications unexpectedly
to his owner, by means of pack of
playing cards. Mr.. Myers had fin
ished a game of solitaire and had
carelessly slapped his dog on the
nose with one of the cards. Mr..
Myers noticed that the card was the
ten-spot of the hearts. The card
was placed in the pack and laid upon
the table and Myers left the room.
On returning some time later he
was surprised to see ten-spot Of
hearts lying apart from the deck of
cards and in front of the dog.
Attorney William Roache, of Ali
ance, hearing of the incident, one
day while at the hotel where Jack
and his owner live put the dogs
powers to an extreme test. He
stacked the cards face downward and
simply thought intently OF a par
ticular card. Here came in the dogs
greatest achievement. for each time
he was tested in this manner he
picked out the right card. Following
this incident, hundreds from far and
near have thus tested the canine and
have been unable to battle him.
Some time since, while a deal was
pending for the sale of the animal,
Jack went about bowed down with
grief. When a messenger arrived
with telegram declaring the nego-
tiations off he is reported to have
grabbed the message from the car
rier's hand and, carrying it to his
master, leaped for joy before the
contents of the little envelope had
even been read by Mr.. Myers.

with a large-headed pin that CLEANED
temptingly in young Mr.. Elephants
eyes. He stretched out his trunk and
began fumbling with the pin.
THE woman felt something and put
her hand around to see that her belt
was in place. Before her hand got
there the trunk was gone. She salts
fed herself that her moorings were
secure and then brought her hand
back to the front again. Presto, up
went the trunk for a second attempt.
The woman was so occupied in the
discussion that she was probably only
half conscious of being touched, for
she did not turn around even then.
She merely put her hand back on an
other reassuring expedition, which
again missed the exploring trunk.
"Once again the elephant found the
field clear. This time he was surer
of his ground. He deftly took the
head of the pin, drew it out and then
swiftly jabbed it-there is no other
word for it-into the wOman's back.
Scream? OF course she did. She
jumped about three feet, too, and as
she came down she whirled around to
see what had struck her. When she
saw that elephant she jumped an
other three feet. If somebody hadn't
caught her 1 think she'd be jumping
yet. 1 have seen the Midway very
lively at times, but I don't think I
ever observed greater excitement
than prevailed for the next few min
utes. I must confess that we added
to the occasion by going into fits Of
heartless mirth. The elephant? Oh,
he was a model of a joker. He never
cracked a smile"

Recently, says the Chicago Trib-

Ever since she could lisp little Bes-

The other evening her mother had

were said, when she suddenly sat up

Out of bed she climbed and kneIt

Then she got up again and with

She was just back from the Pan
American. She wasn't paying excess
on any weight of serious information
brought home with her, but she
knew the Midway like a book or
rather a comic paper. Every page of
her experience was a laugh at the
bottom and she turned the leaves for
every friend she met. Her particu-
lar favorite was as follows, says the
New York Sun:
"One evening we were lettering
past the animal show, when 1 no.
ticed a queer sort of chair in front
of the place. 1t was a heavy, square
wooden chair, with arms and a high
back. 1t would not have been re-
markable except for its width, which
seemed excessive, and the fact that it
was so very low. The seat was less
than a foot from the ground.

next. Unconsciously they had stopped
near the peculiar armchair which
had attracted my attention. They
stood with their backs to it, one
woman being only few feet away.
Just as we were about to give up
our attempt to solve the chair prob
lem we saw baby elephant come out
of the menagerie building, swing
along with the peculiar gait of it's
kind, and sit down in the very seat
we were staring at. The barker came
out too and began to get ready to
shout for a crowd.
Just then the elephant, which was
Tapping its ears and swinging it's
trunk from side to side, seemed to de-
eide on investigate the group
standing in front of him. The woman
