September Number New Idea
Woman's Magazine.

The women who clamor for advice
how to turn their time and talents to ac-
count-will receive many valuable hints
from the series of articles entitled Pro
fitable Industries for Women, which
is begun in the September number of
the NEW IDEA WOMAN S MAGAZINE under
the heading Of Poultry raising, from
the pen of Sarah f. Slater. The new de-
partment of Correct Dress for Men, -
also begun in the September issue and
contributed by Hawthorne, u we'll
known authority in haberdashery, bids
fair to be of paramount Importance in
this periodical, because many women do
much of the shopping for the men of their
families and are glad to have sugges
tions. Every item in the September
number, either technical or fctional, is
of more than passing interest.

From st. Paul and Minneapolis every

The price for q double berth in one
of these comfortable tourist sleeping
cars is only $6.75 from the twin cities
to California. The appointments are
similar to those OF standard sleeping
cars. .....: @'....
The route is one OF the most attrac-
tive, especially during the fall and
winter. Direct to Kansas City via
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railway, the tourist car from there
goes via the Santa Fe Railroad
through Kansas, Southeastern Colo
rado, New Mexico, Arizona and South
ern California. This has been aptly
termed the Sunshine route, as it leads
through a territory where snow and
ice are not common and a moderate
climate is found the year around.
The Grand Canyon Of the Colorado
in Arizona, is one Of the scenic at
fractions Of this route, and the side

in the spring by E. B., Magill manager

will be Rinard at the crossing of the

said yesterday: 1--WE claim all records
for town building in the northwest,
and we base the claim on the fact
that Readlyn. altho less than month
old, has graded streets. sidewalks ana
other municipal improvements, four
lumber yards, two banks. one news
paper very comfortable 3hOtel, a
livery barn, several restaurants and
ten stores, more than half of which
represent an investment for stock of
more than $4,000. There is hardly a
, line of business enterprise common to
country town that Readlyn lacks. l
do not think the record Of its growth
has ever been equaled in Iowa or in
any northwestern state.

Meantime the bankers of the west
are asking the bankers Of Wall street
about the road, and who is building
it. The secret Of the anxiety over
this little road is that If Hartman or
Hill is behind it, it means that the
Clearwater trouble is over and done
with. 1t will be remembered that a
few years ago this same line was the
cause of a bitter fight between Ore

OF the old "Manitoba road has been

dealt in little within the past week
for the first time in some years. The
securities were once great speculative
favorites and some tall specializing was
done in them in the late eighties and
all thru the nineties. Then the Great
Northern took the entire STOCK ana
most of the bonds.
It was block of these gilt-edged
bonds that went in as collateral for the

pose of the loan range all the way

the Canadian Pacific to a purchase OF
