NEW ROAD Is SURE.
B. B. e. B. c. Will Cross the
Mountains.

WhatcOm-Thatt the B. B. & B. G.
railway is making preparations to ex-
tend it's line across the Cascades from
Whatcom to Spokane at an early ddte
is confirmed by the amended articles
of incorporation which will be filed
within a few days with Secretary
Nichols at Olympia and with the au-
ditor of WhatcOm county.
These articles adopted at a meeting
of the board of directors in San Fran
cisco on the I'd of July authorized the
construction of the proposed road.
The distance from tidewater here to
Spokane over the located route is 295
miles-nineteen miles less than the
line of the Great Northern from SpO-
kane to Everett, the shortest existing
railway from eastern Washington to
Puget Sound. The extension of the
B. B. & B. C. will pass through the
Mount Baker, the Slate creek and the
Okanogan mining regions and through
the rich MethOw valley, and much OF
the best mining lands east of the Cas-
cades The route described in the
articles is by the North fork of the
Nooksack river in Whatcom county
and though Hannegan pass in an east
erly direction, thence sOutheasternly
along the valley Of the Methow, TO
a point near its junction with the Col
umbia and on to Spokane. This will
open up wealth of undeveloped
country unexcelled on the Pacific
coast in its possibilities.
Another feature of the amended ar
ticles is the authorization to have
the branch now being built westward
from Hampton on the present line to
Lynden continued on to Blanche. En-
gineers of the B. B. & B. c. are now
in eastern Washington looking over
the location Of the proposed road.
The route was practically determin-
ed upon after the exploration of Engi-
neer Cryderman and party year ago.
The extension eastward from the end
of the original line at Sumas was re-
Gently completed to Glacier creek at
the foot of one of the old state trails
to Hannegal pass, which is 20 miles
beyond and through which the railroad
will cross the mountains. Seven miles
above the present terminus. the B. B.
& B. G. Improvement company, the
stockholders of which are the same as
of the B. B. & B. c.. is putting in a
big electric plant at the falls of the
NOOksack river The suggestion has
been made that this power will be
used IN sending trains over the noun
tain division of the railroad. 1t is not
known when the active construction
work will begin across the Cascades.

HIS WEIGHT IN GOLD,

The ancient ceremony of weighing the
maharajah Of Travancore with gold was
performed with great pomp In that city
recently, his majesty being a deyout
Hlndoo and a great stlckler for the rites
Of his religion. Months before the cere
mony his government bought a great
quantity of pure gold, the greater part
Of which was converted into coin. After
presenting an elephant TO the shrine the
maharajah entered the temple and
mounted one OF the scales. his sword
and shield being laid In his lap. In
the other scale the newly struck coins
were put In by the first and second
princes until the maharajah rose In the
air, the priests chanting Vedic hymns
In addition to this the band played and
the guns fired Afterward the coin used
was distributed among about 1900
Brahmans,

Socalisms Marvellous Growth In Germany

poor pay. are crushed by taxation and
the system OF compulsory military
service, have to subslst on scanty fare
and are harshly treated by the govern
ment and the higher classes alike, This
accounts largely for the steadily heavy
emigration to he United states and
England, the two most significant fac
tors being the food and military prob
lens, The former Is looming vast on
the horizon Of German politics today,
so vast, in truth, that the question OF
securing cheaper food for the millions
can no longer be eyaded Those who
are inclined to the belief that the kaiser
win effect rapprochement with the
Socialists base their views largely on
the fact that he may feel compelled TO
turn to the one party which is In favor
OF speedy action In dealing with the
urgent needs OF the people.
Undoubtedly the most interesting
member Of this party to-day Ia Ferdi-
nand August Bebe. who has played
leading part almost throughout It's his
tory and was member Of the first
reIchstag OF the German empire. Orig.
inally Bebel had little sympathy with
the Social Democratic movement but
under the Influence OF Llebknecht he
rapidly adopted soclalIstic views and
soon became famous as a great polti-
cal organizer. Indeed, although he
ranks as one Of the most brilliant de.
baters IN the relchstag, his predomi-
nance In his party rests more upon his
faculty for marshalng and directing
his followers. Bebel has not grown
rich out Of his political activities, and
FOR years after he was sent to the
rechstag used 10 hasten TO his carpen-
ter shop as soon as the debates were at
an end. He has Frequently been i'm
prisoned for lezef majesty and spent
two years IN confinement as result
Of the high treason charge formulated
against him and Llebknecht. As
speaker Herr Bebel has clear, reso-
nant voice and an eloquenCe that never
fails TO win the admiration even Of
those who are most bitterly opposed to
him

ciallst group In Germany are Singer

HMVHE great show Of strength by the
n Social Democrats OF Germany
at the recent elections in that
country has aroused not only
Germany but the outside world
to the realization Of the growing power
Of socialism From 10000 votes In 1871
to more than 5000 900 IN 1908 Is giant
stride, but that is just the stride taken
by the German Socialists. who have thus
fulfilled the predictions OF their bril-
liant leader Ferdinand August He0el
that the balotng would prove that
socialism now has a stronger hold on
the hearts Of the German people than
II ever had before. The magnitude Of
the partys victory Is emphasized By
the fact that owing to peculiar suf-
frage laws many Germans are dsfran-
chlsed while the vote Of a rich man or
member Of some privileged class
counts not as one vote. but many II Is
thus evident that the Socialists would
have polled thousands more votes
under such election conditions as are
found IN this country, Tor example, and
their representation In the reichstag
would have been correspondingly great
er, in fact they might have gained a
majority OF he seats. AS II Is, how
ever. they are rejoicing; they have
given the kaiser pause.
Just what policy William IT, will now
pursue toward the ever growing party
Is problematIcal, though there are not
q few who incline to the opinion that he
may come Of his figuratye high horse
and extend the hand Of friendship TO
the Socialists. II will be remembered
that there was a time when the kaiser
interested himself nightly in the
amelioration of the laborlng classes OF
his empire, but his enthusiasm soon
died away lasting, indeed, little more
than two years since which time he
has applied some rather harsh terms to
the very people for whom he was plan
ming to accomplish much.
The cause Of his changed attitude Is
said TO lie in the fact that William ii.
had hoped TO scotch socialism by kind
ness, whereas the Socialist party grew
steadily in numbers and influence It
may now very easily happen, accord
ing to the argument In certain quar-
tiers, that the kaiser win return TO his
two year policy but from very differ
ent motlve--the realization that as
socialism has apparently come to stay
II viii be futile for him TO attempt to
thwart the Socialists higher aims and
that, by arriving at an understanding
with them, he may be able TO dissuade
them from or to moderate their more
extreme demands The kaiser above all
things desires to maintain the integ-
rlty OF the empire and has already gone
TO great lengths TO bring warning ele-
ments together. II would be but a 1T
ting cap to these efforts to see him act
ing as peaoemaker between such oppo-
sites as the Conservatives and the So
