SOON BUILD
PORTAGE ROAD
First Dirt viii be Thrown Within
the Next Thirty
Days

Dirt will be flying on the portage
road within 80 days." said James Stew
art. editor OF the Fossil Journal. who
has just visited the right of way Of the
proposed state road at Cello says the
Portland Evening Telegram
-. c. McCabe, Seattle contractor,
is on the ground with the engineers,
and will probably get the job" he con-
tinued, "and the Open River associa-
ton is busy raising $4,000 among the
farmers Of Eastern Oregon who are to
be benefited by the portage road. This
sum will make the amount available
for building and equipping the eight
miles OF road 100000. the other por-
ton having been appropriated by the
last Oregon legislature.
TT is q good thing for the produc-
ers OF Eastern Oregon that the Open
River association took the portage
road matter up. as the state commits
sion would not have done anything to-
ward building the road. The right OF
way has been secured without one
cents outlay on the part of the state,
and when the road Is finally ready for
business 1t will make the wheat and
wool Of the Inland Empire worth more,
as 1t will render transportation cheaper
to the markets of Portland and the
world. 1t will do this even though a
wheel never rolled over the road, as
the possibility of all-river transpOrta-
ton will compel the railroads to reduce
their freight charges. The portage road
will be the biggest acquisition to the
industries Of the upper country that
has been vcpchsafed US since the rail-
road was built up the Columbia. BY
and by the government will build q
canal to parallel the portage road. and
then we viii be doubly blessed"

Spokane representative Cf the branch
of the Minnesota Farmers exchange
about to be established in Spokane,
says the Chronicle.
The Minnesota Farmers exchange Is
Incorporated at 100000. the head

at Duluth and one Is to be in Spokane.
The company, 1t Is stated. controls a
chain of independent elevators and
grain warehouses and deals in grain
commissions. the profits being divided
among the farmers who are members
OF the association.
The company, it is stated, deals prin-
cipally in wheat and ships direct to
foreign trade. Mr.. Harvey recently ar
rived in Spokane and Is interested In
establishing the branch Of the Mime
sofa exchange here. He also announces
that similar cooperative company
may be formed among eastern WASH

the ranchers desire such an organiza-

Mr., Harvey has conferred with the
chamber of commerce in regard to the
resources of Spokane and while he
came to this city with the idea OF go

SO pleased with this section of the state

could well suppose that the best writer in
English of all novelists, and one of the
most original minds, would be surprising
ly clever in genuine letter writing, rath-
er lost art. He is regarded as a great
success among English letter writer's,
ranking with the foremost-Horace Wal
pole, Cowper and some others. Many of
his letters not hitherto published have
recently been published. Three install
ments of letters by this master in crea-
ton, have appeared lately. They are said
to be fine, quite equalling his regular pro-
duction in his books. An interesting edi-
! torial in the New York Saturday Re-
view on 'Thackeray's Letter Writing"
| interested me. The editor says that the
recently published letters are very read
able. He says that Stevenson's and
Dickenss letters, like those of Thack-
cray, are quite as good as their regular
copy in peint of readableness. He
writes
Curious to reflect how much good copy
Thackeray wasted, so to speak. Steven
son has been posthumously exploited with
even more industry, and one suspects him
sometimes himself of canny eye upon the
posthumous possibilities of his "epistolary
correspondence" None of Thackeray's
letters carry that baleful suggestion. That
they are all Enthusiastically for the moment
and for the single eye of the particular
correspondent is part of their charm
The last batch of the published letters
is of 1853. He was then forty, but com
plains of being worn out" He was
then writing his fine novel, 1.-THE New
comes" and foretells that sit will not be
any good The Saturday Review"
writer concludes with this:
zone wishes for new find of Thack-
cray letters every year, to run for the
whole twelvemonth, AIN make a fortune
for the lucky magazine. Such a thing it
is to be born writer
1t has been often stated that the great
Napoleon was the first to describe the
English people as "a nation of shop-keep-
ers." I have seen this often attributed
to him. He may have made use of it in
derision, but others had said it before
him. The New York Saturday Review
gives this, and something similar may be
found in Bartlett or some other large
dictionary of quotations:
I'm an extract published in 1866 Dean
Tucker, however, used the phrase, "A
shopkeeping nation; ten years later, in
Adam Smiths Inquiry into the Nature
and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, it
occurs as A nation of shopkeepers' In
both instances the application was gener-
al. The special application of the term
to England seems to have originated with

drama called "The Dynasts." 1t is not
for the stage, but it is tremendous in
length if in nothing else 1t is in 10 acts,
with $50 scenes.
H. M. Paul, another Englishman, has
been engaged for some time in writing
the History of Modern England 1t is
to be in five volumes, and two OF these
are already published. BY his title may
suppose that Modern Scotland and Wales
are not included.
For more than thirty years the vast
English Dictionary, of which the scholar
ly Dr. Murray is the third editor, has
been in course of preparation. 1t has
reached the letter co. There are 9,00S
words beginning with CO., that are dis
cussed 1t is a huge undertaking, far
greater than any other known. When
completed l suppose it will make not less
than eight volumes as large as Webster's
International Dictionary, and possibly
very much more.
Miss Ellen Glasgow, the Virginian nov
elist is woman of fine ability and mark
ed humor. Her publishers in advance
give her last book, in press, a ''send off,
with high praise They say of THE Deliv-
erance,' for that is its name: 1.-THE pub
fishers believe that no modern American
novelist has come closer to the largeness
and power of George Eliots work than
Miss Glasgow in this novel. 1t is an eX-
ceedingly dramatic story of the develop
ment of a human soul, the background
being the Virginia tobacco country, and
the dominant motives, love and caste-pre-
JUDGE. AS with all the authors work, it's
strength is lighted by humor, by true per-
ception, and by real romantic feeling" L
do not write from knowledge, but l have
an impression made by opinions I have
met with, that she is the foremost of liv-
ing Virginia authors.
Walter Savage Landor's magnificent
classical work, "Pericles and Aspasia'-
one Of the truly great works of English
literature-has been published in a costly
edition, and the price is $500 net. Some
house ought to get out another edition to
sell at 50. To me it is one of the most
entertaining and splendid works 1 ever
read.
1t is mentioned that there are thousands
of believers in the North in what is known
as "Babism." This particular ism" is
said to be a peculiar form of Moslemism

section for ''isms'' to take root in and
flourish. Boston leads, and many ''reli-
gions''-so-called, find ready acceptance
with many disciples. Up there "a little
learning" appears to be "a dangerous
thing"

of renown may find listeners to a dis
course upon some scientific or literary
theme, but even such are occasionally
startled by the inquiry, Haven't you

says further:
Comment is needless upon the supre-
many of the pictorial journal, and upon
the scanty discrimination, among the mass
of readers, as to literary or artistic merits.
Only experience could make credible the
fact that in homes, refined in other ways,

Some literary notes are gathered here:

by any means great poet, has published

of food for the average family is 161 per
cent. higher than in 1896. That is very
moderate statement. In many cities ii
has advanced fully rs per cent. There is
all the same a downward tendency in
wages in cotton mills and steel mills. High
fuel high foou and lower wages do not
mil together well. 1t is stated also that
the cost of living is greater in the North
Atlantic States than in any other Sec
tion In the Western States, it is said
that the cost of food is less now than it
was in 1890, by small percentage. The
average reduction is given at from 1892,
81 per family to $322.43. These figures
may be held in suspense. 1t costs much
more to a house-keeper in Wilmington
now than it did three years ago-a pro-
bable increase of full 20 per cent.
Not long ago poem by Mr. Edward
Gillian. a well known North Carolina
writer of ability and gifts, appeared in
The Charlotte News. 1t was intended as
Labor Day Sentiment 1t is vlgor-
Gus protest against the abuses and
cruelties of child labor in the South. I
make a selection or two:
eff they tell truth then hell grown hot
Were paradisaical spot
To Southland soaked with children's blood
With babies ground into the mud
By Juggernauts of hellish greed.
Oh, men, my brothers, with your creed,
Cast out your cant, your caste, and see
See. on your lives, if this truth be.
If so, take from their brows this crown
Of thorns. My brothers, strike it DOWN.
Let not one innocent be sold
And stretched upon cross of gold.

Land of the free, home of the brave"
AS long as one child stays slave
That is a falsehood black as hell
A falsehood that rings freedoms knell.
Haul down that flag, let not one fold
Pollute the air since lust for gold
Must coin helpless blood and brains,
To swell the total of their gains"
The child labor curse will be removed.
A sound and sympathetic public senti-
ment can kill any measure of persecution
and affliction. In this age of exceeding re-
ligious instruction from the pulpit, and
the eager study of the Holy Scriptures, a
system of wrong-doing and cruelty can not
survive always. The teachings of Jesus
Christ the adora BILE blessed Son of God,
antagonize all evil, all oppression, all lust
of gold, all ''inhumanity to man."
