ALL ARE HUSTLlNG TO
REACH PACIFIC COAST

Milwaukee, Wis, OCT. 12.-Thres
new transcontinensal routes are TO be
completed within q couple Of years,
according to the latest developments in
Central Western railway Orioles. Tues
day the Wisconsin Central lines took
in Erie capital and men identified with
the Morgan Hill group, and tho Con.
trail will be the connecting link between
the Erie on the east and the Great
Northern on the west.
To meet this condition Of affairs,
long foreseen, tho Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul has made arrangements for
q line to the West. terminating at Ia.
coma, with lines to Seattle and Port
land. The COMPANY officials deny that
such q plan 10 under consideration,
and itw az denied at the last meeting
Of the road in Milwaukee that such a
step had been considered. Secretary
Adamss denied that the road had just
paid 81, ZOO, 900 for tidewater property
In Tacoma, including rights Of way
into that city, but from other sources
it 10 known here that such q deal has
already been ratified BY the directors.
The.line will be extended from Cham
berlain, South Dakota, to meet the Ia
Gonna Eastern, and the Milwaukee road
will take over entirely new property in
Tacoma and build great new station.
In connection with this deal il an
other plan to meet the Hill Morgan
combination. The Canadian Pacific
will connect with the new st. Paul
Pacific line, and will be given the
traffic in ito territory, which has hith.
erto gone over the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific lines. This will be
done by q branch line connecting the
two lines along the Pacific coast. The
eastern end Of the system will be by q
junction with the Pennsylvania lines
at Chicago.
The third transeontinental line ID
said to be plan Of the Northwestern
with the Vanderbilt lines in tho East,
to strike for Portland. The details Of
this project are extremely hazy, "a
Northwestern officials refuse to talk Of
the question at all.

DELICATE FLOWERS AS FOODS
Made Into Salads. Jellies, Curries-Cloves
and CApers.


Though the fact Is we'll known that
flowers are used extensively as medicine,
It may come as a surprise to many that
tons Of delicate flowers are regularly used
as food. says the South China Post.
In many parts Of India the flowers OF
saponaceous tree, Bdssia latifo'ia, or NAH
wah, form a really important article Of
diet. These blossoms. which are succu-
lent and very nourishing and numerous,
fall at night in large quantities from the
trees and are gathered early in the morn
ing and eaten raw. They have a sweet but
sickly taste and odor. They are likewise
dried in sun and sold In the bazaars. The
Bheels dry them and store them as a staple
article OF food.
An ardent spirit like whisky is distilled
from these flowers and Is consumed in
largo quantities by the natives Of Guzerat.
TO-: sweetmeats are also made Of them. A
ain rle tree affords from two to four hundred
mounds OF blossoms. In Malabar and
Myyore another species Of the tree abounds,
the flowers Of which are used in a similar
manner by the natives.
The flowers Of the Judas tree have an
agreeable acrid taste and are sometimes
mixed with salads or made into fritters
with batter, and the flower buds are picked
with vinegar. The flowers Of the American
species are used by the French Canadians
In salads and pickles. The flowers Of the
Ab1tilon esculentum are used in Brazil as
boiled vegetables. The flowers OF the
horseradish tree arc eaten by the natives
The young oalioes Of Dillenia searatellq
and d. spSciosid, which are swollen and
feshy, have q pleasantly acid taste, and
are used by the inhabitants OF Chittagong
and Bengal in their curries and also for
Of the nasturtium are frequently used
along with the young leaves IN salad. They
have q warm taste, not unlike that Of the
common Dress, and Il is from this similarity
that the plant has gained the name OF mas
turtlum.
The hill people Of India are fond OF the
flowers OF the rhododendron arboreum,
and even Anglo Europeans use them for
making Jelly. Yet poisonous properties
ssheS to the the gssa the OF TINS sns
was the plant from whose flowers the bees
Of Pontus gathered the honey which pro.
duced the extraordinary symptoms OF
poisoning described as having attacked
the Greek soldiers In the famous retreat OF
the Ten Thousand.
The flower clusters Of the cauhaower,
which form themselves into firm cluster
or head varying from four to eight or
more inches across, become the edible por-
ton Of one of the greatest Of vegetable
deIicacies. In this it differs greatly from
ali other members Of the cabbage family,
whose leaves and stalks are used for Gull
nary purposes.
The flower buds OF the CdppGris spinosa,
q plant which grows on the walls In SOUTH
arm Europe, are commonly known as caper.
These are chiefly imported from Sicily
though the plant is largely cultivated in
some parts OF France. the cloves of COM
merce are the unexpanded buds OF Cdrgo-
native Of the Moluccas, but cultivated
in many parts Of the East and West In
