TO BUILD NEW ROADS
Great Northern Will Build INTO
the Similkameen.
canadian Pacific is Misunderstanding
Out For n Line Into SpokaneSaEs
and the PaIouse. HIn

President James ]. Hill OF the Great
Northern was in Spokane last Monday
ana stated that he would immediately
oegln the construction of new railroad
through the Okanogan country to Mid
way, Is. T., and from the latter point M
the SlmlIkameen river the entire length
OF the valley.
All OF our energies in this part of the
country are To be centered in the build
ing ol this road during the coming sum-
mer, said MIR. Hill. although winter
is now on, we are perfecting the general
details Tor the new road, and as soon as
spring comes the work is to be pushed
with vigor; and as soon az the railroad
Is down we shall devote all our energies
TO opening up the resources of that
wonderful country, and we shall fill it
with settlers. | do not wish to talk of n
project to extend the road on from
SimIlkameen to Vancouver, but then.
you know, the distance between the
points is not great. For the present, let
us rest with the assurance that the road
through the Oka0ogan and the Similka-
meen countries is to be built at once. To
my mind that is the most important
piece OF news that | can give to the
newspapers"
The Canadian Pacific has had a ieal-
GUS eye on the trade of eartern Wash
lngton Tor years. lt has wanted to get
into this field, not only to haul in freight
from the east, but also to get some of
the wheat business of the PalOuse and
the ore traffic of the mines. The invas-
ion OF British Columbia by the Hill road
has stirred things up to the point where
the Canadian Pacific is now ready to
build into Spokane to reach into this
magnificent field. 1t is reported that
Senator Turner aud ID. G. COrbin are at
the head OF the enterprise to build the
road which will probably be known as the
Spokane y koOCenay Railway, and the
plan IS to run from Spokane over to
Lake Pend d'Oreille, in Idaho, and from
there extend north through the Idaho
panhandle, probably along the Kootenai
river, to the Canadian line, where it will
Join branch of the Canadian Pacific.
The distance is estimated to he about
200 miles. Tne Canadian Pacific people
will furnish the money for the enterprise.
1t Is reported that work upon this line
VIII start in the spring and will be pushed
to completion within year, as opera
tions can be pushed from three or four
points at once. MIR. Corbin has gone to
New York and Senator Turner is now on
the sound.

DOINGS OF CONGRESS.

Senator Depew has introduced a bill
asking the Issuance of emergency cur
Fency by the treasury department. 1t
provides that such currency shall be sup
plled to any national bank with a capital
OF not less than $4,000 to the extent
OF % per cent OF the banks capital. The
extra capital is, however, TO be applied
only IN the case OF a stringency in the
money market sufficient TO ieopardize
values.
The house has passed the bill to re-
duce the duties on the products of the
Philippines coming into the United States
from IS per cent OF the Dingley rates
(the present duties) to % per cent OF
those rates. The discussion of the bill
was accompanied by considerable man.
euvering on the democratic side to secure
test votes on various amendments de-
signed to lower the tariff barrier still
further.
Representative W. L. Jones has in
trOduced a bill opening to entry the
south half of the Colville Indian reserva-
ton after the same shall have been sur
veyed and ailOtments made to the In
dlans. The bill proposes to restore ali
surplus land to the public domain, so
that entries can be made under the pub
lie land laws This portion OF the Col
vile reservation contains 100000
acres
After a session of less than three
hours, the senate adjourned Saturday
until January next. The session was
largely given up to an address bv
Senator Morgan upon the question of
the construction of the isthmian canal.
The senator declared that it would be in
the interest of the United States to re-
sume negotiations with Nicaragua and
Costa Rica, with view of utilizing the
Nicaragua route.
Congressman Jones has been looking
up the question Of titles to Indian lands
which IS a matter Of considerable i'm
portance. In speaking about it, he said
that where lands have been allotted To
the Indians no action appears to have
been taken by the department or the
government to administer upon these
lands whenever the allOttee dies, aud the
natural result is that much confusion
will arise as to titles.
Since the opening OF congress Repre-
sentative Jones of Washington has
spent considerable time at the DEPART
ments attending to various matters of
interest to the state. One OF bis calls
vas upon Secretary Moody, with whom
be talked at length in regard to the
necessity OF the Puget sound navy yard.
Secretary Moody spoke very highly of
the yard and assured Mr.. Jones that he
expected to make it visit during the
summer.
Senator Jones Of Arkansas has intro
duced a resolution in the senate asking
that an investigation be had into the
workings of the ''cOal trust" and rail-
road combination in the anthracite re-
gions This resolution il the result of
the filing Of the Hearst petition with the
Interstate commerce commission, charp-
| ing illegal combination and a cOnsdiracy
on the part of the alleged trust.

10th CENTURY IDEA
Selling Pianos ON the Co.
operative Plan.

An idea originated in Philadelphia re-
Gently, that makes possible large saw
ing in the retail price of pianos. ThOus.
ands Of instruments have been sold on
this new plan, and it has been estimated
that the aggregate saving effected there
by in Philadelphia, alone, amounts to
over 100000. We have adopted the
same plan; it is simply the application
OF the Wholesale principle to the retail
department. We can sell 100 pianos
much cheaper than we can sell single
instrument. By joining one OF our four
clubs (imited to 25 members eacb) YOU
get the benefit of the wholesale price
Join whichever suits you beat. Make
your initial payment and receive your
piano, that is all Of it, no extras, no
dues, no waiting, pianos guaranteed for

LADIES AT DINNER.
From the Position of Carver to the
Principal Seat.

From the Position of Carver to the
Principal Seat.
The presence of ladies at dinner was
brought about by necessity more than
by the gallantry due to their sex.
Servers and henchmen were superseded
by lady carvers, who worked at side
table, In Elizabethan times at private
dinners it became usual to place the
principal joints and grand pieces at
the upper end of the table, above the
salt, so the chief guests could see the
joints and secure choice helpings. We
have something of this kind in the hab-
1t which prevails at restaurants of first
showing the game, poultry, etc., to the
diners before carving. The place which
came to the fair sex from necessity was
soon claimed by them as their right,
and they passed from the mental posi-
ton of carver to the occupiers of the
principal seat. The lady had helpers
who deemed it an honor to serve her
in their turn.
! In this duty of semiprofessional cary
er lies one of the first causes of the
paper frills for legs of mutton, ETC., for
it was used in every case where the OPP
orator had to grasp some tangible part
of the joint with the left hand. In 1868
a grand dame suggested that it would
appear more comedy and decent to use
a fork" this in spite of existing pref
| udice
| 1t was at this time, too, that travellers
i from Holland introduced into England
the fashion of seating men and women
alternately, the adoption of which put
an end to lady carvers. Then the au-
thor of THE Cooks Oracle" suggested
that joints and large birds should be
carved before they came to table, thus
starting the now prevailing fashion Of
carving at the side table.

OUR CONSCIENCE FUND.
1t was Started with a Dollar In the
Year 1911.

1t was Started With a Dollar In the
Year 1911.
.In the year 1S11," says II. e. Arm
strong in Ainslee's Magazine, IAN
anonymous citizen of New York sent a
dollar to the treasury department at
Washington with an avowal that he
had defrauded the government and
wanted to make restoration. A dollar
meant something to Uncle Sam in
those necessitous days when the coun-
try yerged on war with Great Britain,
and it was patriotic as well as pen
itent act. The contributor was the
founder of the conscience fund, and
probably he died in the odor of sane
tity.
During the preceding thirty-five
years of the life of the republic no one
had despoiled the government, or the
private conscience was callous. This
New York man, indeed, seems to have
been the one blemish on golden era
of national virtues, for fifty years were
to elapse before there was an addition
to the fund.
'In 1861, just after Sumter was fired
on, the sum of $4,000 in bonds was re-
ceived by the treasury department,
with letter explaining that a sorely
tried. conscience could no longer en-
dure it's burden of guilt. The plain in
ference was that the sender, realizing
the United States would need a mint
of money to carry on the war, judged
it not to be time to defer repentance.
Think of the bounty jumpers who prof
tied by his contributions!
ct was really useful to the country
in another way. The conscience fund,
which had languished for want Of a
shining example, now became active.
1t has been quoted pretty steadily ever
since. At the present time it amounts
to more than 100000. Indeed, restitu-
ton is getting to be the fashion, and
the time may come when no one will
take advantage of the government or
do so only with the laudable design of
swelling the conscience fund when any
emergency copfronts Uncle SAM"

Parsley Honey.

1t is very seldom that we come across
honey that is not fit for human con-
sumption, but it is just possible that
you may have that experience. Bees
gather honey for themselves, not for
us, and they naturally study them
selves only. 1t generally happens, for
.tunately for us. that what suits them
is also good for man, but there are ex-
ceptions.
The honey that bees gather from
parsley is likely to make man feel very
ill indeed. Probably that honey does
not disagree with the collector, or it
may occasionally be gathered and Glac-
ed with the rest by mistake. There is
just the chance that it is done for pur-
poses of revenge by one member of the
community who considers himself ag-
grieved and vents his spite on his fell
lows.
Remlock honey may be innocuous to
the bee, but it is likely to poison man
and give him decidedly bad time if
not kill him.
The plant known as green fly will
yield honey with taste that will make
a human being lose all desire for the
treasures Of ,he beehive

SAVED BY DUST.
How a Handful of Soldiers Fooled
General EARLY.

How q Handful of Soldiers Fooled
General EARLY.
''Did ever tell you how clouds Of
dust once saved Washington city from
what many people believe would have
been certain capture at the hands of
the Confederates?" asked a member Of
the old Veterans Reserve corps, which
was on duty at Fort Stevens during the
war;
at was when the Army of Northern
Virginia was just outside the Capital
City. You may remember that General
Early, who was in command Of this
particular division of the Confederate
forces, in writing to refute statements
published in northern papers to the eff
feet that he could easily have marchedr
into Washington, said: 4 knew the de-
lenses were weak when l arrived, but
my troops were so exhausted from the
enforced march that a halt was abso-
lutely necessary, and the next morning
knew, by clouds of dust, that re-en-
forcements had arrived
'That dust, gentlemen, was raised by
a few men, not exceeding 100, of the
Veteran Reserve corps. The Temporal
ry commander of this company, stout
man of medium height, whose name or
rank / did not learn, because he wore
no blouse or insignia, placed the men in
line in the rear of and between Fort
Stevens and Fort Slocum. After max
ing short speech in which he urged
every man to do his best he directed
us to march down some distance on the
grass past Fort Stevens. Once there
he told us to break ranks and right
about, returning in the middle of the
road and kicking up all the dust we
possibly could.
We doubled on the line, marching
down on the grass and coming back in
the dusty road. 1t was a dry season,
and we all had on broad soled shoes.
We made the dust fly, l tell you, and
1t is no wonder General Early thought
re-enforcements by the thousands had
come to the relief of the handful on
duty at the forts. Washington Star.
