RAILROADS.
CANADIAN PACIFIC
SUMMER PLANS
WILL BUILD All MILES OF NEW
ROAD.
Several Extensions Will Be Pushed to
Comprehension 100000 Debenture
Stock Issued to Build New Road and
Buy Atlantic Steamships-Road's
Conservative Bookkeeping.

Canadian Pacific will, during the
summer, complete the 113-mile Arcola
extension, a 4O-mile extension on the
Kirkella branch, 25-mile extension
of the Lacombe and Wetaskiwin lines
and 33-mile extension of the Mani
toba & Northwestern line, says the
Wall Street journal.
The cash for these extensions was
raised by the sale of about .$14, 0OO,-
900 of debenture stock, to be expended
thus: All miles Of railroad, $6,927, 500,
and 81 Atlantic steamships, $7,087, 500.
The company Is to spend $9,500,000
on equipment this year. and this item
will probably transfer about this
J amount from quick assets" to "cost
of road and equipment" 1t does not
appear that the expenditure will bear
very heavily on the corporation. If
the usual habit of the board is fol-
lowed about 100000 will be taken
from current earnings.
The Canadian Pacific balance sheet
Is peculiar. Not the least peculiar
thing about it is that tho $14,50O,0O0
land grant bonds are counted among
the liabilities of the company, the
land grant itself, upon which these
bonds were issued, Is not mentioned
among the assets. An incidental foot
note points out that the company still
owns 16, 100000 acres (average $3.67D
of this land grant.
If Reading, for instance, included it's
coal and iron bonds among the habili-
ties, but forgot to include it's coal and
iron lands among the assets some
what similar result would be obtained.
Manifestly, the s14,50O,000 of land
grant bonds, secured on some $780,
900. 900 worth of property not included
in the assets, should be struck from
the balance sheet and the profit and
loss surplus should be $33,300,O0O in
stead Of 18,S00,000. This is the more
potent in that the bonds are not due,
and are therefore ont a current liabili-
ty, until the proceeds of land sales are
ready to pay the bonds.

Great Northern and o. r.. & N. is off
and the committee will go to Chicago
this month. The shippers will base
their claims on the contention that
the trade of territory within radius
Of 100smiles from Spokane is theirs by
prior right and should be conceded to
them and guaranteed to them by rates
making it impossible for outside
points to compete successfully. Their
claim is for q great circle of territory
200 miles In diameter, with Spokane
in the center. within which that city
shall absolutely control the trade sit
uation.
For the first time in western rail-
way history, shippers have taken the
situation into their own hands,
brought about situation requiring an
agreement and virtually handled their
case with the same effect as If they
had taken 1t before the interstate
commerce commission.

WHAT HARTMAN SAW
His Recent Inspection Showed Condi-
tions Better Than Expected.

e. H. Hartman has just returned
to New York from an inspection trip
over his lines to the coast He says
he found conditions In the west and
southwest much better than he
thought they would be at this time
when he made his previous trip to
those sections last fall. At that time,
he said, the extreme depression in the
stock market and unsettled conditions
generally in this part Of the country
were clearly reflected in the west and
southwest. Conditions now are so
much better that he felt warranted In
ordering more equipment for the Har-
riman roads than he originally intend
ed to order.
Regarding the Southern Pacific Mr.
Hartman said that the road was now
beginning to see daylight in the mat
ter of extraordinary expenses.

So John Smith went on his way only
to meet with further mishaps at the
end of the road. Before the day closed
John Smith was reported to have suf-
fered an attack of lockjaw and to have
scalded himself with a cup of boiling
coffee. Under that accumulation of
woes even John Smiths spartan spirit
gave way. He went out and got drunk,
and at the last account for the day he
was hauled to the station house on the
charge of disorderly conduct
And thus ended one day in the life of
John Smith. Possibly Smith did many
other things besides those enumerated.
He probably went about his usual af-
fairs and performed a host of minor
duties that the press did not think it
worth while to print. To the average
person, it is true, it would seem inn
possible to squeeze any more events,
or otherwise, into one day,
but then no average person can SYM
pathize with a man of John Smiths

| Grapes of extraordinary size both in
the individual fruit and punches and
of excellent quality are being grown
upon the slopes of Punchbowl, the re-
suit of a grating of the Tokay upon
the Isabella vine.
The new grape is SO great an advance
upon either the Tokay or the Isabella
as to hear little resemblance to the
originals. The combina ton of the two va
rieties was begun by a Portuguese grow
er about five months ago, and in conse-
quence large number of neighbors are
Fastening to graft their Isabella vines
in the same way. 1t is anticipated that
in another year nearly all of the
original Isabella vines will have the
Tokay grated upon them. The new
grape is more than double the size of
the Isabella and the meat is so firm
that it can he bitten as one would a
cherry.
In price, too, there is an advantage
in the grated fruit as the tables of
the well-to-do residents are being sup
piled from this vineyard at the rate of
about eight pounds for a dollar.
The ordinary Isabella grape is dark
blue in color, while the Tokay is of a
light shade. The grated grape is a
blending of the two giving it a very
pleasing color
In March last the PunchbowI grower
made his first graftings, several hun
dred vines being treated. The first of
the new crop was taken off about three
weeks and hundreds upon hundreds of
punches are now in process of ripening.
and as fast as they are cut they find
ready purchasers. Owing to, the even
ness of the temperature of Honolulu
two big crops are taken off in a year.
There has been no trouble in the
graftings, almost every vine responding
to the combination and the grapes are
singularly even in appearance on all
the vines. The grapes are closely clust-
cred giving the punches a good selling
value.
" One bunch cut yesterday weighed
p ga pounds and the average weight
per bunch throughout would be about
2 ga pounds.

JOHN SMITHS BUSY DAY.
GENTLEMAN OF THAT NAME PUT IN A STRENUOUS
\ TWENTY-FOUR HOURS THROUGH
OUT THE COUNTRY

Every day is John Smiths busy day,
unusually rushed. Newspapers pub
lished in various cities and towns
throughout the country tell how he put
in the time.
He began the day early and strenu-
ously At 4 a. m. John Smith shot a
burglar. He did not shoot to kill. Pos
sibly he did not intend to. Perhaps he
wished to give the fellow chance to
play in better luck next time, or maybe
he was unnerved by the unexpected in
trusion, and was unable to take steady
aim. Still, he hit the mark. The item
recording Smiths valorous defense of
his life and property states that the
burglar Screamed with pain and drop
ped his plumber" which consisted of a
watch belonging to Smith, some jew
elry of Mrs. Smiths, and a small sum
of money, presumably the family jack
pot.
John Smith was undoubtedly pretty
badly shaken up by his encounter with
past-midnight marauders, but he man
aged to brace up in time to get his own
breakfast. Then another disaster over
took him. Smith cooked On a gasoline
stove. Evidently he was not familiar
with the apparatus. At any rate the oil
tank exploded and set fire to the fancy
paper draped over the shelves above
the stove. Smith put the fire out him
self, before the engines came, but his
mustache got so badly burned in the
sk1rmish that it had to be shaved off
immediately after breakfast
If Smith had a nice mustache. the
chances are that he regretted its loss
under such calamitous circumstances;
but what took place later probably
consoled him for the enforced shave.
About o'clock Indiana time. John
smith was arrested for petty thievery.
That was sad predicament for a man
who had himself just popped over a
burglar. Smith naturally felt the
humiliation of his position and pro-
tested his innocence vigorously APP

and he would have been ignominiously

do what he did next. He fell into a

Old Style Indians

The original Indian as he existed
fifty years ago is getting scarce.
There is hardly a blanket Indian in
the Indian Territory. There are
some on the reservations in Okla
homa. There is a small band Of
Greeks in the Greek nation, how
ever, that approach closely the orig
iual Americans in habits and intel
lect. They occupy nook between
the Canadian river and surround
ing hills and live after the old Gus
tom Of Alabama, where their fore
fathers were bred hundreds OF years
ago. Theirs is a dialect distinct
from the improved Creek language.
They are ignorant of advancing civ
ilizalion and stand upon the street
corners with an air of indifference
TO all that is passing by, absolutely
unable to comprehend the new
world outside their own hunting
grounds.
Among this small band is pre-
served the art of pottery making
They live in their chosen circum-
scribed domain, in laziness and con
tent. They cultivate small patches
of corn and sofky, and live on the
simplest food and deny themselves
any connection with the outside
world. They live in the typical
pole hut daubed with mud, relics
that have been handed down for
more than one hundred years. They
consult no doctor, need no lawyer
and still believe in one Great Spirit.

Easy Victim
Farmer Pays 500 For Experience

er early yesterday morning to visit
relatives, but had SIoo less when
he reached South McAlester two

Adams became acquainted with

young fellow first talked politics
and then ask the farmer where he
was going.
"How Fortunate" said the new
acquaintance, who said his name
was Jones, was going to the same
place, Sherman. He said he
owned property there and was
going down to collect the rents.
Jones drew from his pocket a
small link puzzle which he said he
purchased in St. Louis. He quick

and they both put down a ten dol

and easily separated the links.
Adams hated to take the money,
it was 50 easy. The stranger was
game, and bet him SIoo he could
not do it again. Adams took the
bet. The puzzle failed to work,
and Jones took the sIoo and left

that he had been worked. He

ADVANTAGES OF

are so apparent that we are almost

he'll be blowed if he can see why

that even approaches the electric

The quality of the light you can

today, pure, white light and plenty
of it.
