STREET GAR LINE PROPOSED
Local Company May Be Organic,
ed in Near Future.
FROM DEPOT TO THE BIG TIE PLANT
Promoters Are Now Endeavoring TO
Interest Grenada Capital in the
Railway Project.

There is a movement under way III
Grenada to organize a company fol
the purpose of constructing and oper-
ating a street car line in this city, and
the promoters are endeavoring to
interest capital in the project. While
matters have not as yet assumed def
mite proportions, and consequently no
positive statements can be made.
there is ground for the belief that the
promoters mean business, and that the
matter will be thoroughly canvaSSed
with the hope Of attaining success.
1t is proposed to construct the line
from the Illinois Central depot to the
college and beyond to the extensive
tie plant of Aver s. Lord company,
where a large number Of men are now
employed and from which point con-
siderable business would be expected.
This patronage, together with that
usually accorded a street car line,
would, the promoters believe, make
the undertaking a profitable invest
ment.
1t is proposed to organize company
with a capitalization of $50, 600, and
this amount, considering that the
power would probably be furnished by
the Aver & Lord company, would be
sufficient to construct and equip the
line. The matter is now being pre-
Sented to those Of our citizens who
have money to invest, and the pro-
mOterS feel confident that it will reach
successful cOnSummatiOn.

Potato Flour.

While Irish potatoes may be eaten
more extensively than any other
American vegetable, 1t may not be
generally known that they are cap
able of reduction to an excellent flour.
In Austria, according to government
report, the manufacture Of this flour
is an important industry. Corn starch
is largely unknown in Austria. potato
flour being substituted. 1t is stated
to be cheaper than wheat -four and
makes a beautifully light cake. The
potatoes are machined in such man
ner that the starch is separated from
the cells that contain it. Water Is
used freely, carrying away the starch
into settling vessels. 1t is then re-
fined, cleansed and dried. The resi-
due is fed to stock and also used in
distilleries, breweries and sugar fac
tories. Potato -four is largely used
by the Israelites in this and other
countries during the Feast Of the Pass
over, for as wheat -four is strictly
forbidden article during that festival.
potato flour is a welcome assistant to
the housewife. who. in her preparation
of "Pesach" dainties, finds 1t capable
of transformation into delicious cake.

Chapel Built by Nature


Ex-President Cleveland. during his
sojourn in New Hampshire the last
summer, attended divine service In a
chapel unique on an island in pictur-
esque Lake Asquam
Eighteen or twenty years ago Ern-
est Balch. who was then a student at
Harvard college. conceived the idea
OF summer athletic school for boys,
and chose the island Mentioned as the
location. Camp Chocorua" was there
established, and had a very successful
existence for a decade, being the pio-
neer Of the large number of such
schools now in existence.
There was provided chapel, origi-
nal in conception with Mr. Balch. It's
walls were the environing trees of the
forest. Its ceiling was the ever
changing sky Rustic seats were
built for choir and congregation. The
most prominent feature was a mas
sive stone altar. surmounted by a
heavy stone cross.
This chapel was at the eastern end
of the island, and there the members
of the camp. numbering half hun
dred. would gather regularly every
Sunday. whenever the weather per
mhted, for divine services.

How the Pigeons Mate

On south Jersey farm, which was
the home of thousand pigeons and
which was conducted by a woman
who had formerly been bookkeeper
in Philadelphia, was found one par
ticular fly and coop which was the
abiding place of young doves that had
reached the mating season, says the
Era Magazine. These young birds
We're associated together so that they
might select their life companions.
The interior of the walls of the coop
was filed with boxes and those
pigeons which had mated would
select one of these boxes for their
home and nest
This period Of courtship is one filled
with excitement for the birds. Two
young pigeon cocks, having selected
the same hen for a mate, have been
known to fight to the death in their
rivalry. The method of combat is
peculiar. The beak and wings alone
are used. the combatants catching
each other with their beaks by the
skin of the head and beating each
other with their strong wings.
