ELECTRIC RAILROADS
Schemes to Network the North.
west With Systems.
The Biggest Scheme is for n lima
From Portland, Oregon, to
Lewiston, Idaho.

More electric railroads are in process
OF construction or in contemplation in
the Paclhc northwest than ever before
says the New West. The inter urban
line between Seattle and Tacoma. a dis
tance OF about 80 miles. is practically
completed. A line is contemplated from
Spokane to Occur d'Alene, Idaho, and il
will undoubtedly go through.
But the biggest scheme vet il the
prospect OF an electric road from Port
| land to Charleston and Lewiston. IL ia
said that there is over $4,000 900 be-
nlnd the move and the intention seems
TO be to furnish power and light to the
| country traversed, as well as furnishing
| transportation for both freight and pas
sengers. Such line would be of inesti
mable benefit to the sections traversed.
Not only would it provide cheaper trans
p0rtation and help in the development
of the Inland Empire. but it would
guarantee better treatment from the lines
controlled by Messrs. Hill and Hartman.
Inter urban electric lines are proving
great factors in bringing the rural dis
trlcts into closer relations with the cities
IN those eastern states where the dense
population makes such lines profitable
on an extensive scale. The time will nm
doubtedly come when we will have cleo
trc lines running south from Spokane
through the PalOuse country, one from
Portland to Tacoma and Seattle. and
another from Seattle to Whatcom be-
sides the three or four lines already con-
structed or contemplated in various sec
tIOns OF the state and Pacific northwest.
lnter-urban electric lines are an indica-
that It Al
Pacific northwest are being rapidly
settled.
Harness PRlouse Falls.
Washtucna Enterprise For many
years the utilizing of the Palouse Falls
has been project upon which hung a
very bright future for this section. Every
one has felt that the power which they
can furnish would sooner or later be
turned to account. The first step in
that direction was taken few days ago
when Cal. Lunseford and z. r. Clark of
Rltzville signed a conditional contract
with w. A. GiIderpleeve for the purchase
OF the Little Fails and ten acres of
ground adjacent thereto for the erection
OF power house and so forth for an cleo
tric railway. A condition of the con-
tract is that work must be commenced
within one year. 1t is said to be their
intention to build an electric rail-
way from Washtucna via Ritzvile to
Odessa or some other point in the Big
Bend wheat belt. In this connection
notices are posted that the county com
missioners will hear the application of
these gentlemen for franchise to con-
struct electric railways, polls, wire con-
duits, etc, for the transmission OF cleo
trio power, along the county roads. 1t
is said by parties in position to know
that eastern capital will be back of this
enterprise and that matters have already
progressed to that point where actual
work may commence within a few
months.

Danger Signal in the Alps.

According to the international agree
ment recently made in regard to the
danger signal in the Alps, six shots or
movements OF light will be recognized
as a call for assistance. In cases Of
stomach, liver and bowel troubles, it is
always wise to heed the first danger
signal, and give nature the assistance
she is calling for. The best medicine to
aid the stomach in digesting the food,
to stir up the liver, or to open up the
clogged bowels, is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. 1t is backed by record of fifty
years of cures. Be sure to try the
Bitters if sou are sufferer from indiges-
ton, dyspepsia, fatuIency, constipation
or biliousness. Our Private Stamp is

ADJUSTMENTS. A
BLACK PATHS TROUBADOURS,

Whether it is the 'Black PATHS
marvellous voice or the great col
lection of colored comic persons in
her train that draws the crowd is
hard to say. Anyway, the BLACK
Patti has a voice that all love to
hear, SO also the comedians, buck
dancers, and cake walkers, that
serve to delight.
There is no gainsaying the popu-
ularity Of this show. 1t is winner
and now in its fifth season of sue
cess. The Black Patti is in better
voice than ever and her company
par excellence, headed by that droll
comic singer and colorel comedian.
Besides the Black Patti and John
Rucker, there is Mack Allen, Matte
Phillips, the Yer Valins and a lot
of others two score in fact.
This organization has the best
credentials of merit any could pos
sess. Six years Of success in every
