BUILDING OF ELECTRIC ROADS

News items multiply to the effect
that the entire northwest will soon be
netted with electric lines and the whir
of the trolly will be a common sound
In the land. In taking up this form OF
.41evelopment the west is rapidly fol-
Moving in the footsteps OF the east
-rhere electric lines are traversing the
,ountry in all directions in successful
competition with the old established
drunk lines.
The west leads itself readily to this
form Of investment because of the
scarcity Of transportation lines and the
Sches pness with which the electric line
ran be built In comparison and cheap
ness of operating from the fact that
there is in the west an abundance of
water power for the generation Of cleo
fricity. The Spokane and Occur
e4rAlene electric line Is the pioneer road
4sf the Inland Empire and the marked
success Of that venture is what is lend
Eng impetus to the building OF other
Zines.
Lines from Spokane traversing the
palouse country are to be built this
season and no one doubts the success
<at such an investment and the rapid
development of the country that is sure
TO follow. News from other sections
Indicates that there will be a rapid anr
general development in the line Of cleo
sric road building in the territory south

Trom Portland to this city, and that the

that electricity will furnish the motiv

Another step yet remains in the same
direction and that would be to have the
city council by resolution or ordinance
as the law directs prescribe similar
regulations for the disposal of the city
distant and those in search of ar issue
might with credit to a popular cause
take UP this issue. Let the city of
Lewiston control her own funds in a
manner similar to the new state and
county regulations and save for the
benefit of her citizens the accruing in
terest on the city deposits.

England. So after a precarious ex-
istence the two places within a
stones throw of each other in the
Strand, though under rival manage
ments, gave up the hopeless task of
converting the English to the joys of
American cooking, and put up the
shutters. -... -
Mr.. James Hermon Wyman was the
Moses who was to lead the British in
to the promised land of American
indigestibles. He was persuasive
talker, with a mission to rescue the
poor benighted Londoner from the
primitive roast joint and show him
the superior way of living American
quick lunch methods.
He convinced others that he was
a true prophet, and that the English
were languishing for "sinkers" and
cranberry pies. The others put up
some money and formed a company,
and with flourish of trumpets open
ed dainty, bemirrored, brightly
lighted restaurant at So Strand.
Branches were to be opened all over
London, so that all who ran might
read the gospel of '.sinkers" and
cranberry pie. ~. ..-.... ..-~s
But in twelve months there was an
account of SIS, 900 on the wrong side
of the ledger. The restaurant con-
tinued to dispense it's specialities,
but without the personal attractions
of Mr.. Wyman. H-eE
He made some more converts. IF
the English won't have sinkers they
will surely have 'wafles,' insisted
optimistic Mr.. Wyman. So he opened
a new place, with more costly fittings
and more incandescents and mirrors
than the old shop few doors below.
Here the waffle was king.
"Wafles" look like honeycombed
tripe, but the honey served with them
effectually disguised whatever taste
they may have had.
Yet the public declined "waf1es"
also, and the new place, after costing
over $1,000, enjoyed an existence of
but a few months, and shut up last
week. - ~ -.-.5s-....
On Sunday the original establish
ment at 63 Strand, without word of
warning, followed suit, an Intellectual
attempt having been made to dispose
of the place at auction. s7a
Mr.. Wyman, finding the English SO
unresponsive to his mission, has
turned to the French, and gay Paris
is now the field of his labors.

EASTER CUSTOMS.

Curious Observances of the Past and
Present In England.
Some of the old Easter customs In
England are curiously barbaric, and
even at the present time the observ-
ance of this particular festival Is sur
rounded with more or less superstition,
just enough to lend to it the charm Of
mystery.
Twentieth century maidens don
bright yellow garters, secure In their
belief that they will be engaged before
the year ends. Others give their resses
"a hundred strokes three tines with
the brush while thinking intently Of
their hearts desire. And who does not
take good care to wear their new
things on Easter day? 81.
Among the earliest Of Easter GUS
toms are the following:
At Queens college, Oxford, herring
placed by the cook to simulate man
on horseback Is set on corn salad and
Drought to the table. This Is supposed
to represent red herring riding Away
on horseback and is the last yestige Of
| the once popular pageants OF rejoicing
for the end Of the Lenten fast.
1t was erstwhile q habit in English
towns for the boys after the Easter
service to run into the street and
snatch the buckles from the shoes Of
the girls whom they were able to catch.
Easter Monday, however, 1t was turn
about, and the women chased the men.
II the men refused to pay sixpence
or happened to wear boots the women
tried to snatch their hats, and to re-
cover a hat cost a sixpence.
In some old towns great cakes were
brought to church and there divided
among the young people.
A singular Easter custom was that
OF lifting and weaving" A man sit
ting contentedly in his home was sur
prised by the servants and women OF /,
his household, who entered bearing
great armchair lined with white and
decorated with ribbons and fayors.
The man was forced to SIT in the chair
and be lifted by the women, to each OF
whom he must give a sixpence. On
day In Easter week, either Monday or
Tuesday, the man lifted the women
with similar attendant ceremonies.
Edward /. was lifted in his bed BY
his ladies' and maids Of honor, and q
record shows the payment made BY
him to have been some $1,000 In six-
pences.
In older days in England monks at
Easter acted plays in churches, the Ia
vorite subject being the resurrection.
Not only were these plays enacted III I
the churches on these festival days, but
there was dancing, particularly in the
French cathedrals.
Even the sun. It Is said, dances on
Easter day.
II Ireland great preparations were
made for the last day Of Lent. Holy
Saturday, about 8 o'clock, hen and
piece Of bacon were put in the pot, ana
at IL there were eating and much fner-
rymaking. At 4 all rose to see the sun
dance in honor Of the resurrection.

CAPITAL REMOVAL.

Anent the publication in some quar-
tiers of suggestions of removing the
state capital from Bismarck, the
Grand Forks Herald takes this sensi-
BILE view of the matter: ~
'tHere and there one runs across a
paragraph with reference to the prob
ability of the removal of the capital
from Bismarck to some other city.
This is perhaps natural, as the fail
ure of the capitol building law has
directed attention to the whole ques.
ton of the location of the capital
Undoubtedly some of the talk of this
sort is due to the desire of its origin
ators to have little fun with their
friends in Bismarck, in whom a little
anxiety as to the stability of the capt.
tai may perhaps be expected. Posi-
bly, some of it is seriously meant, as
there is strong feeling throughout
the state that mistake was made in
the original selection of the capital
location. The Herald believes that a
mistake was made at that time, but it
believes that greater mistake would
be to attempt to remedy it now. The
capital is located at Bismarck, and
The Herald believes that it is perma-
nently located there. To attempt to
move it would be to array section
against section and faction against
faction as they have never been ar
rayed before. The effort would in all
probability be unsuccessful, and sue
cessful or unsuccessful the results
would be disastrous. In the mad
scramble for the seizure of the al
legged prize on the one hand, and for
it's retention on the other, the legisla-
tors would lose sight of everything
else, and every piece of proposed
legislation would be made the play
thing of those who were chiefly inter-
ested in the possession of the capital.
It might be of some advantage to the
people of Fargo, or Grand Forks, or
Devils Lake, or any one of half a
dozen other towns to have the capital
located in their city, but the forces
Of disintegration that would be set
at work through such an effort would
harm the state ten times as much as
success would benefit any locality.
The Herald is against capital re-
moval, and it is against capital re-
moval agitation. 1t believes in the
promotion Of the interests of the
state, and those interests can best be
promoted by looking at these matters
from broad standpoint, and by the
avoidance of anything tending to
arouse the spirit of sectionaIism.

STATE NEWD

The Grand Forks Herald says 1t is
asserted that the Bottineau Courant
under the new management will be
decidedly hostile to the branch Of
the republican party in that county
known as the Noble branch.
The good people of Medina want
fire protection and figure the best
way to secure it is to incorporate the
town and have taken steps to do so.
George Rill, 16-year-old boy, was
killed in Dickey county by being
thrown from a horse.
The Lisbon Free Press says: The
capitol commission law may be un-
constitutional, but if the personnel
of the board ranked with our towns
man, Hon. Andrew Sandager, who
was a member thereof, in character
and ability, none of them need be
ashamed of their individual connec-
ton with trusteeship unsought by
them. They in no sense were re-
sponsible for the law or any apparent
defects in the same. .
The Edgeley Mail says reports con-
tinue to come in of the damage done
by the prairie fires last week. Many
of the Russian farmers living in the
vicinity of Gackle were heavy losers,
some of them losing everything they
had, while others were not quite SO
unfortunate. A great many claim
shanties, and hurriedly built gran
aries went up in smoke. Hundreds
of stacks of hay were consumed by
the fires, and the Joss of the hay falls
heavily on those who have stock, on
account of the range having been
destroyed. 1t is hard to estimate the
loss caused by the fires, but it will be
an enormous sum. Miles and miles
of range were consumed and the
country over which the fire burned
presents a desolate appearance.
Mrs. Mary Boothroyd Calderwood,
wife Of Robert M. Calderwood of Will
liston, died Sunday morning after a
brief illness. Mrs. Calderwood was
at one time financial agent for the
state w. G. T. U. and lectured at pub
lie meetings. Mrs. Calderwood was
