MISS ALICE ROOSEVELT.
Young Lady who VIII Christen En-
peror Williams Yacht Is
Truly Lucky Girl.

Miss Alice Roosevelt is tall, well
built, Of athletic ENTHUSIASTICALLY
modern type of girl, as distinguished
from the type of delicacy, spiritual
rather than robust, which used to be
so generally admired. Her hair is
light and it is dressed in the prevailing
Pompadour mode. She has blue eyes,
with bright color and fine teeth.
Miss Roosevelt looks more like her
mother than her father. She is indie
pendent in her ways, and given to
knowing her own mind, giving it ex-
preston freely. Her mother, as is
well known, was not the present Mrs.
Theodore Roosevelt, but a Miss Lee,
of Boston, of family of no little dis
tinction and of notable ancestry in the
modern Athens.
When Theodore Roosevelt was left
a widower by the death of his first wife
there was some question as to what
should be done with the baby daughter,
the upshot of the matter being that
little Alice was handed over to an TN
married sister. This maiden sister,
who is now the wife Of Commander

NEW LINES AND CONSOLIDATION

One of the great dangers of the console
dation Of competing trunk line railways.
such a consolidation as that contemplated
by the Northern Securities company, is
we'll set forth in communication from
C. E. Faulkner, printed in another col
umn.
Ono of the greatest blessings Of railway
competition has been the rivalry for new
territory. 1t has led to the building of
new lines before there was any traffic in
the country penetrated to justify the
great outlay entailed by railway con-
struction That, of course, has led to the
development of the country, has brought
in settlers and provided them with cheap
lands. Event ually the line usually pays.
There is no doubt that many OF the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
spurs have been built on the theory that
if one company didn't get into new
country early the other would. This sort
of competition looked to the future for it's
profits and was content in the meantime,
to do all in Its power to encourage the
growth and prosperity OF the new regions
Thus competition resulted IN access TO
cheap lands and homes for the million,
and gave them the benefit of the lowest
possible railroad rates and cooperation
during the period Of their early strug-
giles to convert a wilderness into fruit
full region.
But when the fear that some other COM
pany will enter into the tributary new
country is eliminated the trunk line will
not build spurs, as a rule, until there is
already established a business that will
| Justify the expenditure. In the mean
| time the people can use wagons instead
! of cars. and the farmer must be content
! with the long wagon haul TO market.

reference of Governor Martin Of Kansas

BEHIND THE SCENES

Messrs. Hill and Hartman, railway
magnates par excellence, are like two
lawyers, who, being on opposite sides Of
a case, seem to be on the point of gouging
each others eyes out in the courtroom,
and yet are the best Of friends. Between
sessions of the court they probably have
no difficulty in enjoying many laugh over
their rather mock set-tos in the court
room, for the benefit OF the jury and the
Judge. -sa 4
The chronicles of Saturday related that
these two gentlemen, after appearing be-
fore the interstate commerce commission,
journeyed together to New York in Mr..
Harrimans private car. The CONVERSE
tion of the magnates as they sped on to
Gotham to stir up some new corporation
colossus, would be worth repeating-if we
knew what it was. But the chances are
that they had many long, diaphragmatic,
resounding laugh as Mr.. Hill dwelt on the
good points of the DOGGY man he had been
drawing for the delectation of the north
west. =
