them with the growth OF the town, and
have asked the city council to make an

will have to be, the expenditure thereof
should be continued under the associa-.

FUND For GOOD ROAD ExHlBIr
County Commissioners Would Like to
Help If They Can.

The Hennepin county board8 of
commissioners has been asked to
appropriate $500 to be used in defray-
ing the expenses of the experiments TO
be carried on by the Good Roads as
ISOLATION at the state fair this fall.
The Ramsey county board yesterday
at the suggestion of County Surveyor
Cooley appropriated that amount to
the use of the association and Henne-
pin county is expected to fall in line.
The local commissioners are, how
eyer> confronted with legal obstacle
which may have the effect of prevent
ing them from voting the money. The
state fair grounds are in Ramsey coun-
ty. Consequently, it is urged, the
money for road Improvements there
should be furnished by the Ramsey
county board 1t is argued, on the
other hand, that the experiments to be
carried on by the association will be
of equal Importance to Ramsey ana
Hennepin counties and that neither
corporation will derive speclal peheHt
therefrom. The matter will probably
come UP for final settlement at the
next meeting of the commissioners.
The committee in charge of the
good roads meeting say that the con-
vention will be the largest ever held
in the United States. Delegates from
good roads organizations all over the
Northwest will be present and expert
ments are to be conducted on an ex-
tensive scale. Sample roads will be
laid either in the fair grounds proper
or on the road in that vicinity and ev-
cry effort will be made to interest the
public in the work.
Upon the success of the meeting will
depend, to a large extent, the
furnishing of a train by the Great
Northern Railroad company to run
from Minneapolis to Puget sound,
making stops at the more important
cities to build sample roads. The
Great Northern people are said to be
favorable to the proposition.

But Gaoler Thinks 1t Might Arrive at
Any Time.
When William H. Crane was PLAYING
at Portland, Me-, during his last en-
gagement there, he did not stop at a
hotel, but repaired instead to the home
of a personal friend. Another of his
friends became cogniZant of this fact
in peculiar manner. This friend first
called up the Falmouth hotel, and, the
actor not being there, he then, as he
supposed, called up the Congress Hall
hotel The following conversation en-
sued:
''Is William H. Crane staying there?"
"No; he is not" was the response.
"Well, has he engaged rooms?" was
the next query.
mo, he hasn't" came the reply. 1--WE
don't reserve rooms here-frst come,
first served, is our rule"
Cranes friend thought this rather
airy on the part of the hotel clerk, as
he supposed, but, restraining his anger,
he tried another question:
do you know whether he will stay
with you when in Portland?" was the
form it took.

phonic communication, "but it's per-
fectly possible that he will"

who he was and at the same time gave
his name and coupled it with request
that the other ascertain if Mr.. Crane
was to come to that particular hotel.

to?" was the Yankee-like query that
his questioning brought forth.
''Why, the Congress Hall hotel, to be
sure" was the reply.

CONNECTING CAIRO
WITH CAPE TOWN
Railway to Be Built in Realization of
the Cherished Dream of
Cecil Rhodes.

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Before
many years the world may be aston
ished that the long -fostered dream of
the late Cecil Rhodes for the opening
up of the dark continent has become
a reality, and that a consecutive line
of steel rails stretch from Cairo to
Cape Town. The state department
made public today an important report
of railway development from Consul
Randval at Beirut, bearing date of
May 10.
The consul says that by an agree
ment signed at Brussels the previous
month by Robert Williams with the
king of the Belgians, the German route
was abandoned and the railway from
Cairo to the Cape is to be carried
through the Congo Free State to the
upper waters of the Nile. From Stanley
Falls on the Upper Congo a railway is
to be built to Mahagi on Lake Albert
Nyanza and this connection will sup
ply the missing link between the Cape
and the Egyptian railways.
Consul Randval points out that the
new railway project does not neces-
sarily replace the original line through
German territory as planned by Mr..
Rhodes and the German government.
In fact, he says that it is quite likely
that If the proposed railway is built
from the coast of Dar-eS- ell Salaam,
the capital of the German East Africa,
that the original Cape to Cairo system
by way of Tabora will be realized.
Both lines" says the consul, may
astonish the world before many years
as full hedged realities.
Consul @andval says all maps of At
RIGA more than six months old are OBJ
solete; because history is being made
so rapidly and is changing the face of
the country so materially.
The consul says the United States is
not playing an important part in the
development of Africa, and that Stan
ley's momentous work in the '7Os has
not been followed up by his quondam
countrymen." Only with Cape Colony
is our commerce of any material i'm
portance.

tanned in the wreck on the o. & st.

he was placed under arrest by United

Employs populations have been quite
extensive; he has endeavored to col

successful in securing $3.50 from the
Wabash railway on the claims of MI.
Durl1in and Mr.. Rutter, and $50 from
the Illinois Central railway. Neither
of these men ever existed, but as the
claims were small ones the roads never
took the trouble to thoroughly investl-

tiers will be presented to them, and
