battle put up before by the two men
that they came to the city ready to
bid against any club that might want
the go.
The result was that Burke outbid
the local club, guaranteeing the fight

The Most Interesting Is Chateau de
Ramezay at Montreal.
To Americans castles are associated
with the storied Rhine, picturesque

interesting to be reminded by the ST.
John P. E. L. News that there are a
number Of ancient Canadian castles
still existing, the chief ones being ST.
Ours, Rimouski, st. Eustache, Lotbini-
ere, Monticello, Ste Marie de la Be-
ance, Vaudreil, Rouville and, most in
teresting Of all, the Chateau de Rame-
gay at Montreal. The latter was built
in 1865 by Gertrude de Ramezay, at
that time governor of the district Of
Montreal and knight Of the Royal and
Military Order of st. Louis. From him
was descended the last French govern
or of Quebec at the time Of the capitu-
lation in 1859. From that time to 1910
the castle remained in the possession
Of the government and was the resi-
dence Of the French and English gov
errors until the capital was trans
ferred from Montreal to Quebec. It is
now owned by the Antiquarian socie-
ty, which has made Of 1t a museum
for historical relics Of the old regime,
and as such it possesses much interest
for visitors to the one time capital Of
New France.

LEWISTON CITIZENS ASK WALLA
WALlA AND PENDLETON TO
RAISE MONEY
Proposed to Organize Company and
Establish River Line From
Lewiston to Cello

Having in view the object Of estab
fishing and maintaining steamboat
line from Lewiston and Charleston to
Cello to connect with the portage
railway, the Citizens association OF
Lewiston has sent out a cOmmunica-
ton to the various boards of trade and
commercial clubs in Eastern Wash
ington and oregon asking such organi-
cation to take up the question of rails
ing money to assist in carrying out the
project.
The matter will probably be taken
up by the board of directors of the
Walla Walla Commercial club in a
few days and the subject thoroughly
discussed.
The Pendleton commercial associa-
ton had the subject under considera-
ton, and it appears to be the general
opinion of the Pendleton business men
that the project should be assisted.
The communication sets out the
proposition as follows:
1.-The object of the subscription fund
movement is to establish a through
transportation line fro Camas Prairie
country to Cello. The 100-mile cleo
trio road will tap the wheat country
southeast of lewiston Charleston and
strike the river at the twin cities. From
there to Cello the transportation line
will be by steamboats, on the river.
1.-THE corporation, which will operate
these transportation lines is not yet
organized although our subscription
has already reached the 100000 mark.
1t has occurred to some of us that it
might be best to organize two corpora
tons, one Of which should be the nag
igation company for the operation of
the steamboats, only, but with a close
traffic arrangement with the electric
railroad and the steamboat line. Under
this scheme Pendleton, WalIa Walla.
ETC., could subscribe stock to the nav
igation company and have their money
devoted to that part of the work; ST.
100000 would probably build three
boats.
1--WE should like to have the WaIla
Walla and Pendleton people take this
UP and see what could be done in the
way Of subscriptions for such nav1-
cation company.
1T will interest you to know that
there is a likelihood of the Portland
people not only subscribing to the
boat line project, but also to our electric
railroad fund, so great is the interest
there of the people in maintaining the
open river situation"

Verdi Paid the Bill.

When aida was first played at
Milan an amateur living at some dis
lance came to hear it, but was disap-
pointed. To make sure he tried it the
second time, with the same result,
whereupon he wrote to the composer
complaining Of having been put to con-
siderable expense on his account for
nothing and inclosing bill for thirty
two liri, with request for the money.
Among the items was one Of two liri
for 'detestable supper" Verdi de-
Quoted this on the ground that he
might have had supper at home, but
forwarded the balance on condition
that his correspondent signed a formal
agreement not to go and hear the
opera again, which agreement was
strictly fulfilled.

The fact that sea water contained
gold was first made patent, we believe,
by the observation that the deposit on
the copper plating Of jetty piles in sea
harbors was comparatively rich in the
precious metal. On the estimate that
a ton Of sea water contains approx
mately one grain, the yield would
amount to something like 200 tons Of
gold per cubic mile and, as the volume
Of the worlds ocean Is estimated at
40O.O0O.OOO cubic miles, the total pos
sible yield Of gold would be no less
than 100000, 100000 tons-a truly at

The Horse During the Middle Ages.
The Importance Of the horse during
the middle ages, especially in the cru
sades and in the tournaments which
followed in the wake Of the crusades
is significant. Fully half the glamor
and romance that surrounded the
knight belonged to the horse, for with
out the horse those daring deeds in be-
half of the weak and suffering had
never been done. The horse, however
has had his reward, for the best fea-
ture of the middle age, outside the
church, is closely identified with his
name, lasting traces Of which are seen
in the noble word "chivalry."
