cANADA's NEW RAILROAD.
1t viii Span the Entire Country
and Will Cost About
s125, 900, 900.

The length of the main line-the new
transcontinental railroad in Canada
from Moncton to Port Simpson, is esti-
cost in the neighborhood of 100000,
Of which $50, 600, 600 are for the eastern
section to be built by the government,
and $50. 100000 for the western section,
tG be built by the railway company. says
Success Magazine
IN addition to the main line. there are
several projected branches, some to con-
meet with the principal towns and cities
to the south of the railway, and Others to
open up new districts still farther north
Nothing here has been definitely deeid-
ed. but it IS practically certain that. in
the east, branches will connect the new
transcontinental railway with Montreal
Toronto, Sault Ste. Marie and Fort VIII
liam; while in the west branches will be
built to Regina, Calgary, Prince Albert
and other important centers in the
wheat and ranching districts. In British
Columbia connection will probably be
made with a line running north to DaW-
son City. A possible development Of the
future may be a branch from some point
on the eastern section extending north
ward to Hudson Bay. Railways to Hud-
son Bay have been projected and char
tered time and again during the past ten
or fifteen years, but have always fallen
through because of the immense e1-
pense involved, and the uncertainty as to
the Forthcoming of profits for many
years after completion. With the new
transcontInental road opening up 50
much Of northern Canada, the cost. Of a
branch to Hudson Bay would be very
materially reduced, and its commercial
success eorrssnondinglx increased

WILL COURTMARTIAL WADE.
Ensign Held Responsible for Bennlng-
ton Explosion.

Washington, Aug. 21.-The court
of inquiry which Investigated the
causes of the explosion on the Ben
nington. recommends that Ensign
Charles T. Wade, who was in charge
of the engineering department OF the
ship, be courtmartialed. Wade denies
entire blame and will fight.
The findings allege that Wade fail
ed to see the safety valve on the boiler
was overhauled at the proper time
and kept in good working order but
accepted the verbal statement Of a
subordinate that 1t had been over
hauled in March, 1904. That he
failed to cause the safety sentinel
valve on all boilers to be tested in ac-
cordance with the regulations. The
charges for negligence recommend a
trial before a general courtmartial.

Dean Wright. of the Yale academic
department. in his report to President
Hadley complains that one of the
worse evils at Yale is the segregation
of rich students In expensive dormi-
tories. He says: Perhaps the most
serious evil connected with the segre-
cation of the well-to-do students is
that it is bringing together especial
ly in the sophomore year, those who
aim to form the society set, whose
chief purpose in college is popular
ity and social recognition, and to
whom for this reason the claims of
scholarship become secondary"
He adds that fathers sometimes
ask for these expensive quarters and
give as reason that they do not
want their sons to be at a social dis
advantage The protest submitted by
Dean Wright is u healthy sign,
Snobbishness ought not to be toll
Grated in our colleges and 1t is more
apt to make this appearance in the
large colleges than in the small ones,

BOYS BARRED FROM SALOONS.
Police and Saloonkeepers VIII CO.
operate at Boise.

In response to a request from q
Plnney has issued instructions to
Chief of Police Phillips and through
him to all the saloon keepers OF the
city that hereafter no messenger boys
or other lads of tender years are to
be served with liquor. no matter upon
whose order ii is desired says the
Boise Statesman.
In the past 1t has been customary
in the enforcement of the ordinance
against the sale of liquors to minors
to permit children to be sent to the
saloons by their parents and others
and obtain pals of beer or other bev-
erages to carry away, in accordance
with the written Instructions presented
at the saloons in purchasing the
liquor The lads connected with the
different messenger offices of the city
have been especially frequent patrons
OF some of the saloons, having regu-
lar customers for whom they have
undertaken commissions to secure
beer
Many of these messenger lads, It
is said have learned to drink through
securing the liquor for others. Start
ing from a saloon with a certain
amount of beer in a pail. they have at
first taken a sip or two. and the habit
had grown until the boys many times
do not reach their destination with
over half the liquor with which they
started from the saloon. Many OF
their customers, also, have treated the
boys to the beer after It had been de-
livered.
Boys Write Their Own Orders.
The beer-drinking custom has thus
grown on the boys until a large pro-
portion of them are accustomed to
writing orders for cans of beer, sign
ing some fictitious name, realizing
they would be unable to secure It
without an order With this order
prepared by themselves, they have
gone to the saloons and purchased
the desired liquor, which was disposed
of by a crowd Of lads convivially In
clined in some remote corner.
The saloon men, fearing the order
would not he sufficient protection to
them IL they were ever taken before
the criminal courts for selling liquor
to minors, desired to have the GUS
tom abrogated and it was through
their influence with the mayor that
the order has gone forth that no more
Liquor OF any description must be sold
to minors, with or without orders,
and regardless as to whom the bever-
age is said to be intended for.
