matter to handle all the products of
these districts at less cost than the
| farmer does at present in making the
usually long hauls OF from six to twenty
miles and in some instances over this.
The power for the system will be gener-
ated from both ends of the line, with
the operating offices at North Yakima.
1t has not been stated by the officials
of the companies, but it is likely the
Boston Electric company will purchase
the electric plants at North Yakima and
Prosser In case this is done an improved
system will be established at both places
and electric lights will be furnished to
anybody wishing it all along the line.
With the building of this road there
will be great development of the farm
lands throughout the valley, and where
there is one farm now there will be doz-
EN- after the road is built. Not only will
such condition result in that direction
but it is highly probable that the Port
land, Vancouver & Yakima road will be
completed to this point within the next
year or so, thus giving the valley
another outlet for its products. The
electric line will be connected with the
new railway to Portland thus giving
the people of the lower end of the valley
the same advantage as North Yakima in
regard to new market. 1t is given on
good authority that the Boston Electric
company will make a decision within
the next 80 or 60 days. Mr.. Robinson,
the representative, has returned east.
He took with him a great deal OF data
bearing on this proposition. He will
submit this data to his company within
the next few days. Nothing will be
done however by the company in the
way OF decision till after the first OF
the year. Ii they decide to build, work
will be commenced by next spring on
the contraction OF the line.

HOW MOUSE WAS CONQUERED.

A young woman Jumping madly from a buggy shrieking as if possessed or a demon, attracted the attention of the employees at the Panhandle shops east of the city this afternoon and several of them dropped their tools and has tened to her assistance.
 In the meantime young man. sim ilarly attracted, had reached her side. and between her cries and contortlons she managed to make him understand that q rat had run up her clothing and had taken refuge on her back between her dress and her shoulders. She was appealing to him all this time to kill it. but she moved about so rap idly that he could not get near her.
 He finally succeeded in grabbing the intruder and gradually frightened his hold upon the rodent until it ceased to struggle. She then pleaded with him to unbutton her dress and take it out and be performed the deli cate operation after several jerks at the hooks and eyes. with which he was wholly unfamiliar. By this time the employees had reached the scene and when the situation was explained to them they gave three hearty cheers for the rescuer.
 The woman proved to be Miss Vir- ginia Wellman and she said she pre- stunned the rat was in the buggy when she got in at her fathers farmhouse two miles away.-Indianapolis Special.

AMERICANS BIG-HEARTEDNE

A mother came from the home farm in New Hampshire to nurse her son in the hospital. A few days later he died. The authorities said the body must be taken away or buried in the potter's field. The devoted, broken hearted mother was distracted. When the sad story was known to some of the big-hearted clerks, they were not long in raising the needed money and gave it to her with sympathetic words. I cannot describe the paradox - the happiness of broken-hearted mother in bereavement, who was enabled to save her loved one from a pauper's grave.
 I'll take him home with me. for he was a good boy; good boy. He'll be near me now-up in the old church. yard where he loved to play. Oh I'm so glad that l can have my boy go home with me"
 Poor, dear, lonesome heart! There were glistening eyes around: the ster- ling tribute of big, noble, generous, American hearts. I love to think of American generosity as one of the superb virtues of our people.-Joe Mitchell Chapple in The Nu,ional Mag aZine for March.

THE QUICK LUNCH.

Boxing day, strange as the state ment may sound, is one Of the very rare days in the year when young men and women of London are not en- gagged in laying up for themselves the foundations of chronic dyspepsia by indulging in what may be termed bun and milk meals.
 The disease of London is dyspepsia. Outside the wealthy classes nine out of ten girls and 90 or 60 per cent of young men are chronic dyspeptics.
 A quarter of q century ago this was almost entirely q disease of middle aged and elderly rich people. who eat too much. But they were plump and vigorous, at any rate. Now it Is an ailment of the young. who do not eat enough: and walk from Ludgate cir GUS to the bank between 1 and 3 o'clock in the afternoon will prove to any one how disastrous are the con- sequences. The plump and ruddy faces will be found to be quite exceptional, the vast majority being pale and thin. with tiabby muscles and about half the quantity of red blood they ought to possess.
 What is the cause of this wretched state of things? The top hat and the SO-called cafe.
 The London cafe is really the din ing room of a vast number of young men. and it probably owes it's birth to the top hat. for q top hat is rather out of place in a boiled beef shop. But though the cafe is very nice to look at from the outside. it was an evil day for London when it first came into existence.
 This can be proved not only by ob- serving the results but by q consider alton of what food the body needs to keep it in a state of vigorous health That food is certainly not coffee and roll and butter" or tea and cake or glass of milk and sandwich, ' or ''cocoa and half scone'' But what else is eaten in the mod ern cafe? Now and then you see q sensible young fellow taking q couple of eggs and a large glass of milk Rarely some one goes in for chicker and ham. And somewhat oftener you hear request for cold beef Ever these latter things. however, do no, come up to the needs of a grown mar and woman. The ounce or two of han or beef, the scrap of chicken, the little l bit of innutritious sausage that tn, cafes supply are not sufficient nour ishment for a 5-year-old child. An( as they are always accompanied by the cup of tea or coffee, the whole re past does as much harm as good.
 Now. no rule of dieting can be laii down for all men, either, as to quan tity or quality. But scientific physiol ogists have made repeated trials witt average men-that is. men of abou 15O pounds weight sixty-seven to six hy-nine inches in height, fairly soun( in all their organs, and doing mod
 crate amount of daily work. Witt l slight notifications their results ap l ply to most people. - London Dail, Mail

Other seekers after official plums are saying unprntable things about the greed of ex-senators, who are go- ing after all the desirable places and landing them, too. Ex-Senator Car ter's appointment as commissioner of the St Louis exposition has been off cially announced, and three other ex- senators-Lindsay Thurston and Me Bride-are understood to have been promised places on the same commis sion. Tom Carter's appointment, which carries 5000 q year for three years, with not very much work to do, was his reward for having, at the re- quest of MT Mckinley, talked the river and harbor bill to death in his last senatorial hours.

''There was a picturesque incident at the annual dinner of the Gridiron club at Washington recently" says q Washington correspondent. that will be embalmed in the records of this or ganiZatiOn. The club is composed of newspaper correspondents. and their annual dinners are famous. They al- ways have a gorgeous array of dis tinguished guests, and for once official dignities and exemptions are brushed aside. Secretary of War Root made q happy hit. In speaking of General Corbin reference was made to his well known back bone' An Interruption occurred, and the general was request ed to arise and show his back bone to the guests. Quick as q flash the sec retary remarked: The general was never known to turn his back on an enemy In view of the numerous newspaper attacks upon General Cor bin. this effervescent bon mot rather mellowed the occasion."

HEARD IN PASSING

A big whiskey trial has been in prog ress in Buffalo. The question is whether a certain whiskey was of the required grade. Finally the counsel. who had been allowed to produce sam- pies in court, declared that he would submit them to the jury for test. The attention of the jury box grew sudden ly intense. But the judge, in evident haste, ruled that such a proceeding would be improper, and the jury had nothing to swallow but its disappoint- ment.-Hartford Post.
 Following the return of the members of congress to their homes come some "reminiscences by old stagers of the way the franking privilege used to be abused at such times. Some of the stories are old and familiar, but really one of the most interesting things to most readers would be the information that every returning congressman re- ceives free three big boxes, two of pine and one of cedar, in which he sends home his papers or his clothes or anything else, by the simple process of ffanking them.-Hartford Times.
 The politicians of a mathematical turn are still attempting to figure out five congressional districts in this state that shall be equal in population, and satisfactory to the people, as we'll as the prospective candidates. It is not an easy task. and the general as Sembly does not seem to take kindly to any plan as yet proposed. 1t should be done, however, as electing a mem her of congress at large. which will |-have to be done if no division is made, n . very nnsatisfactory way in which Efo eh6oeG Such q congressman be slluIii iE1 Fl tke nta Yet no elle hae any

Referring to the fitting out of such 2 vessel as is needed to make t7le at- tempt to reach the north pole writer in Frank Leslie's writes as follows about Nansen's vessel: Provisions taken on board were considered sufti- cient to last for three years. Nansen even thought there were enough to last for five years. There Were 1.3OO cases. each of which could be easily handled by one man. and these were divided into four different categories. distinguished from each other by diff ferent cOlored stripes. Cases with the black mark contained food. The chief articles of diet were rice. biscuits, salt beef and bottled vegetables. with q thousand bottles Of wine. The food was so apportioned that each case con- tained all the various articles required in one days meals. Cases with Il green mark contained clothes: the or dinary sailors outfit and also some equipments suited for the EsQuimauX, to be worn during the winter. Cases WILL J req contained instruments. Useful miscellaneous ar ticles were marked in yellow. Among these were q variety of articles to amuse the men during the dark winter days. such as packs of cards, chess boards, even musical boxes and q col letcion of music, including the Italian Royal March, extracts from some of the most popular modern operas, and q good supply of fireworks. The duke inspected personally everything tha; came on board. Nansen said to one of
 his friends in regard to this: I at once saw the thorough character Of the enterprise, when the duke, instead
 of giving his orders. did himself what was wanted. This is q sure test of
 the qualifications of I man entering
 upon such an undertaking, for he must be able and willing to do everything. A leader must only trust to himself.' "
