A young newspaper man at West
mourland was recently invited to
residence where the home had recent
" been blessed with an addition to the
family. Accompanied by his best girl,
he met his kind hostess at the door,
and after the customary salutations,
asked about the welfare of the baby.
The lady was suffering from severe
cold, which made her slightly deaf
and she supposed the young man was
inquiring about her cold. She replied
that though she usually had one every
winter. this was the worse she had
ever had it had kept her awake at
night great deal at first, and con-
fined her to bed. Then noticing that
the scribe was becoming pale and
nervous, she said she could tell by his
looks that he was going to have one
just like hers.-Kansas City Journal.

Newtons also as good in every way

ELECTRIC ROAD FOR
WHITE SALMON VALLEY

Ii. G. Peets and wife of Pasadena,
CAL. are stopping at the hotel Wash
ington, In White Salmon. Mr.. Poets
is the President Of the proposed new
electric railroad from the Columbia
river to Trout Lake. In an interview
with one of the Glaciers correspond
ents he gave all the details in regard
to the building of the road and said /:
"The new road is sure thing. The
people of Trout Lake and along the
proposed new line have acted very
generously with us. They have given
us bonus and have also given about
all the right of way. We can go ahead
NJ and show the men who have in
vested their money in this enterprise
that it Is paying proposition. We
have already incorporated and most
of the men named as incorporators
live in the White Salmon valley,
among others Charles Moore, Chris.
euler and Smith of Trout Lake. We
want men who are putting their mon
ey iato this road to be right on the
ground. That IL the reason why we
have selected many of the directors
from this section, so that they can
look after the welfare of the new line.
II am going home now and will re-
turn in the spring when we will make
survey and start active work.
When asked where the terminus of
the new line would be made. He said
that that would depend on where the
station for the new railroad along the
north bank would be located. Ii
White Salmon was selected they would
make that the end of the line and put
an incline railway down the bluff aud
run branch to Underwood, but If
the station goes to Underwood the
terminus would Le there and branch
run to White Salmon. 1t the termi-
nus is established at White Salmon a
station will be built near the hotel
Washington.
Ii is also the intention to build
branch into the dairy country back
of Trout Lake later and supply the
farmers there with light for their
barns.
The road will be built of standard
guage, so that railroad cars can he
hauled up the valley to the saw mills
which are to be erected there and can
load lumber direct from the mill.
These mills will have a capacity of
100 600 feet per day.
