Of the concessionaries of the various
amusement places Of Coney Island and
was originally suggested as an attempt
TO make up for the losses caused by
the unfavorable weather during the past
summer IL was rather risky under
taking, as II involved large outlay
Of money with a possibility Of losing
everything should the weather prove
unfavorable or should the plan fail to
appeal to the public Probably $780,.

the carnival. The first day brought
an enormous crowd to the Island and
the attendance increased steadily from
night to night. The success Of the
carnival was little short Of phenome-
nal Thousands Of visitors from the
cities of the state were there. Even n
thousand policemen would not have
been able TO control the masses had
they displayed any tendency to be un-
ruly and boisterous. Fortunately that
was not the case. A better natured
and better behaved crowd than that at
Coney Island during the carnival week
could not be found anywhere. Every
body seemed TO be imbued with the
carnival spirit. Perfect strangers tick.

that was to be expected. At all events
there was not enough Of that to mar the

Railroad Extension.
A railroad must be a paying propo-

try. Necessities are sufficient popula-
tion sufficient freightage Also good
terminus and desirable starting point.
Line across state feasible. Start from
Boise, Ida, terminate at Astoria; good
proposition. We need a line to Coos
Bay, Astoria, Tillamook and Yaquina
from Central Oregon. There is exten.
sion being made to Coos Bay and one
already to Yaquina from the Southern
Pacific lines in the valley. One also
being surveyed to Tillamook. These
lines through are all branch lines hav-
ing one idea in view, and that is to

minus Portland. We need more than
one means Of shipping. Valley has
sufficient connections with Portland.
We only need to improve Willamette
river to use our present lines. But
there are no means of reaching inland
empire, and no means Of getting goods
to market except through Portland and
Columbia. BY extending line across
state from state from Boise, Ida, we
can reach three of our best harbors,
Astoria, Tillamook and Yaquina.
Feasable and Practical Route.
Fifty.four miles Astoria to Tilla.

miles Dallas to Independence; 10 miles
Independence to Albany; 45 miles Al

now has no railroad connections. II
would make n direct connection from
the east to the valley. II would open
up three splendid harbors on the

In those parts of London in which,

there is a traffic in secondhand mate
rails of sort that is unheard of in,
any city of America.
For example, a dress costing 100
guineas and worn by woman of fash
ION on one of the days Of the Ascot
meeting will be seen perhaps twice
thereafter, once at a garden party
and again at some function remote
from town, after which it becomes the
perquisite of the lady's maid, from
whom it is bought by an oily woman
who maintains what is called ia
dies wardrobe in Brixton or Bays

this oily hammered woman transacts
her business comes the wives of strug-
Cling attorneys, medical men and city
clerks, intent on bargains. and to one
of these the Ascot dress, Positively
worn by Lady G. in the royal inclos-
ure," as the oily woman informs her
in an awed whisper, is knocked down
at the low price Of ten guineas.
Its new owner wears it until 1t is
too shabby to be worn again, after
which it is sold to a second rate ward
robe and becomes the property of
green-grocer's wife, who takes it to
pieces, retrims it and wears it out of

Then it is sold to a third rate ward

coster lady and'i is sold for three shill-

For Growing Girls.

West Pembroke, Me-, April "a
Mrs. A L. Smith, of this place, says
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs. Smith
emphasizes her recommendation by the
following experience:
my daughter was thirteen years old
last November and it is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last a week and
would then pass Off. In month she
would have the spells again. At these
times she would eat very little and
was very yellow; even the whites Of
her eyes would be yellow.
1.-The doctors gave us no encourage
ment; they all said they could not help
her. After taking one box of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad
spell. OF course, we continued the
treatment until she had used in all
about dozen boxes, and we still give
them to her occasionally, when she is
not feeling well. Dodd's Kidney Pills
are certainly the best medicine for
growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice of
Mrs. Smith, for by so doing, they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and insure a healthy, happy
future for them.

ANOTHER RECORD IN LAND
HUNTING.
This Springs Exodus toCanada Greater
than Ever.

This Springs Exodus toCanada Greater
than Ever.
1t was thought in 1908, when over
nifty thousand people went from the
United States to Canada, that the limit
of the yearly emigra ton to the wheat
zone OF the Continent had been reach
ed But when in 1894 about as large
number Of American citizens signi-
ned their intention of becoming set
tiers on Canadian lands, the general
pubic were prepared for the an
nouncement of large numbers in 1908.
NO surprise therefore will be caused
when it is made known that the pre-
dictions of fully fifty thousand in 1905
are warranted in the fact that the
Spring movement Canadaward is
greater than it has ever been. The
special trains from Omaha, Chicago.
ST Paul, Detroit and other gateways
nave been crowded. Many have gone
to join friends and relatives who have
prepared homes for them, and others
have gone relying upon their own re-
sources, satisfied that what others
nave done can also be done by them.
This year much new territory has
been opened up by the railroads, which
are extending their main lines and
throwing out branches in their march
across the best grain and grazing
lands on the continent This new ter
ritory has attractions for those desiring
TO homestead on the one hundred and
sixty acres granted each settler by the
Canadian Government Many also
take advantage of the opportunity to
purchase lands at the low figures at
which they are now being offered.
1t does not require much thought to
convince one that If Iowa, Illinois,
Minnesota and other lands, with q
value of-from fifty to one hundred and
nfty dollars an acre, will give a good
wing by producing ten to thirteen
bushels of wheat to the acre and
thirty to fifty bushels of corn to the
acre. the lands OF Western Canada at
seven to ten dollars an acre. producing
from twenty to thirty bushels of SUI
perior wheat to the acre, should pro-
duce competence to the ordinary
farmer in a very few years. These
are the facts as they confront the
reader. There are millions of acres Of
such land in Western Canada in add
ton to the other millions that are con-
sidered to be portions Of the biggest
ard best ranges that ever invited the
cattle and horse producer Of the North
American continent What is particu-
larry evident In " estern Canada is the
fact that the wheat lands, adjoining
the grazing lands, make farming par
ticularIy agreeable and profitable. Tie
agents of the Canadian Gossnment.
wfo are always willing - give infor-
nation and advice to intending set
tiers, say that the acreage put under
crop this season Is greatly In excess Of
Iast season.

Travelling COMPANIONS.

An excellent test of friend is the
making Of journey in his company.
Many who are most agreeable amid the
little events of every day at home, or
in an accustomed round, are unable to
withstand the petty annoyances that
come with travel-the deferred meals,
early rising, loss of sleep, the minor
discomforts we all have suffered. But
none of these affects the temper Of a
favorite book. 1t is ever ready for your
amusement, yet never resents being put
aside. 1t has no choice as to your
route, and asks no more than little
corner of your travelling bag, or, at
pinch, will go into a pocket as snugly
as pet squirrel. The London "Acad-
envy" says: Indeed, of all travelling
comrades books are the most genial
and the most gentle; not books of
travel-they are for the home fire.

ground the scenery you are looking
upon, or histories which deal with men
and women who have dwelt and work

Ships lowed by Iceberes.

1t has been found that the currents
round the coast of Newfoundland make
at times wide difference in the direc-
ton of the drift of icebergs and that
Of the fat or pan ice, which, having
no great depth, is governed in it's mo-
tons by the surface currents ana the
winds.
The icebergs, the larger part OF
which are submerged to a great depth,
says the New York Herald, follow
only the movement of the ocean water
as a whole and are Influenced by the
winds. Thus huge iceberg may often
be seen majestically maintaining its
slow advance in opposition to the wind
and across the general motion OK the
fields of fat ice surrounding it, The
sealers often take advantage of this
fact by mooring their vessels To an
iceberg to prevent their ship drifting
to leeward. The movement Of these
great mountains of ice is practically
irresistible.
