Cost Of the s,oer,an Line.

LONDON, Dec. 19.-The Odessa cor
respondent Of The Times says reticence
is shown by the Russian official publ.
cations in regard to the actual cost
of the Transsiberian railway. Accord
ing to the Odessa Novosti, the line
when it was begun ten years ago was
estimated to cost 35O,00O,0OO rubles
(S18O, $50, ,O0Ol, but the difference, esti-
mated and actual, up to year ago was
over 43O O00, 900 rubles. Before the line
can possibly be put in working order,
says the correspondent, there is reason
to believe that the total cost will be
over 1,ooo,ooo,ooO r,lbles $4,000, ,0OW.

The police force should have

which the Commission prohibits
them from accepting can be turned
over. The $50 reward received
from the Government which was
sent TO the police department for
arrestlng a desertcr, should never
have been turned over to City Coun-
ell. That body has no claim on
the reward and should set it aside
as a starter for a peusIon fund for
the police department. Hardly
month goes by that the police are
not called upon to help out some
body v no has met with misfortune,
This they do cheerfully and will
ipgly, as there is no compulsion
where donations for charity are
asked from them. We should like
to sec all money received for re-
wards placed to the credit of the

to it and not the city. All it wants
is for some one TO take the initiory

The Dance.

The dance Of last Tuesday night was
a good one and well attended. The
Guerrieri Bros.' orchestra was the
drawing card and no one was disap-
pointed in the music they furnished.
The masking feature of the dance was
a total failure, as only four or five of the
boys masked and the ladies who at
tempted it went home, returning un-
masked. The weather was most too
warm for exercise when one is tucked
up and short on breathing space be-
hind a mask.
A large part Of the crowd was COM
posed of people from the valley, of whom
the following is partial list: H. f.
Black, Mel Springer, S. P. Thomas,
Geo. McEwen, VIM. Head, Fred Thor
