Col. Judson Spofford, president
of the Lewiston & Southeastern
Electric railroad, Engineer w. Il.
Hill, and Waldo H. Sarvin, an
eastern engineer, were in Grange
Vile Sunday having driven over
the route of the proposed road on
tour of inspection. Mr.. Sarvin,
as a construction engineer, repre-
sents eastern capital and was sent
out by prospective investors to
look over the route and consider
it's feasibility, cost Of construction
and the general business that
would be tributary to the line
Like all others who visit Camas
Prairie for the first time he wat
greatly impressed with the wonder
ful resources of the county and ap
preciated the great necessity o

Colonel Spofford expressed him
self as confident of the construction
of the road and believes it will no
be long until all arrangements ca'
be made to begin work. He ha
found many obstacles to overcom

Roosevelt and Fairbanks.

Election returns from the east
show that Roosevelt and Fair
banks are elected by large major
tiles, carrying all the doubtful
states. In New York their ma
iorities will reach 25O,OOO, which
is greater than that given Mckin-
lev. In states where the campaign
has been fought on local Issues the
republicans have generally been
successful. Gooding has a large
majority in this state, and Mead
will probably defeat Turner in the
state of Washington, though II
may take the official count to de-
eide. In Colorado, Adams, demo
crat, was elected.

There is a big difference be- tween the cost of making first class sewing machine, embodying the best materials and workman ship, and one which is made in the cheapest manner.

FAMILY RECORD BIBLES.
They Are Still in Demand, Hut Not Sold to the Same Extent As
 Formerly.

Do wa still sell the old-fashioned tam- fly Bible, with pages in 1t for the record of births, deaths and marriages? Oh. yes," said the bookseller. according to New York exchange, but not so many of them as we once did.
 There are more Bibles sold now, tak- ing them all together. than ever before. and the Bible is issued now in an almost endless variety of forms and styles; out the demand for it in this particular form is now, should say. not more than one-third what it onoe was.
 Still, we keep these record Bibles to- day in oozen styles, ranging in price from five dollars to $20. The blank rec ord pages, these often illuminated, are bound in between the two Testaments.
 Tn some of these Bibles there Is . blank presentation page upon which may be written the name of the person to whom the Bible is presented, with the name of the giver; and in some Of them is contained blank marriage cer- titicate; and in some there are bound in with the pages for the record of births. deaths and marriages, pages for the rec ord of temperance pledges.
 These Bibles are more likely to be bought nowadays by country people. and it might be by people of the German race and by Irish Protestants; all likely to be substantial people of comfortable means; conservative people who cling still to time-honored customs.
 "So, while the oid-time family record Bible, with pages for the record of births. deaths and marriages. has gone somewhat out of fashion. and Is not sold to the extent to which it once was, yet 1t is still sold, and the demand for 1t Is still considerable"

AN UNLucKY DEAL.
Illustrating the Mistake of Man Who Tries to Help Around
 the House.

When a married man gets out Of his orbit, or off his half of the domestic carpet, so to speak, the consequences are always more or less disastrous to him, says the Detroit Free Press.
 We've just moved" said an unhap- py-looking man in little neighbor- hood crowd of men who were buying their evening cigars at corner to- bacco shop "Or, rather, we are half moved. Half our household truck has gone over to the new place, and half is still with us. Then sold lot, too, and got myself in awful hot water. You know how 1t is when a man starts out in his own house to do things without asking his wife"
 ''Oh. yes: we know" echoed all the others.
 "In our stable attic" the man con- tinued, I've had a lot of old stuff stored. I've heard my wife say dozen times that we must look 1t over and sell good deal of it the next time we moved To-day she was over to the other house, and as was kind of stand ing round, not knowing where to take hold next. along came junk man through the alley. I hailed him and took him up in the stable attic; there sold him an old table, an old high chair. a battered old crib and car pet. He gave me six dollars for the lot found box of old battered brass trays. plaques and picture frames after he was gone, and peddled those off at nickel apiece to some neighborhood children who were tagging me around all day.
 .Of course, a man never really knows what he has sold until his wife tells him: and tomorrow I'm to chase all day after that junk man. I've sold our best parlor carpet, taken up when sum- mer came in, my wife's own highly treasured infants high chair and a crib which was also her mothers. and a real mahogany table she had stored away to have done over. She herself had paid nine dollars for the old table, and was glad to get it at that. Old ts- bles are getting scarce. she says"
 How about the brass objects?" some one asked.
 "Oh, I've got to go around and buy those back, too," the man replied. sad ly. "They were high-art beaten brass nondescripts which my wife made her self at the age of 13, and she says her mother wouldn't part with them for anything"

They arc thoroughly instruct ed, and perhaps amply equipped from I'd technical standpoint. But education means so much more than this. It means individual development, cul- ture, character.

 "True womanliness should be one of the chief clements of a young wom- ans education. The unpardonable sins of womanhood are hardness and coarseness, dearth of gentleness and any guise of selflshness.

This is the contribution all true women should make to the so- ciety of their time. Society needs gen. tie women in the true sense of that word.
