ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK FOR
RAILROAD.

It begins to look as il 0 A.
Beeman was going to get the
bonus he asked of the farmers
northeast of the city and that
the railroad would be built thro
that section of the county. There
was a time when the out look
was rather discouraging and Mr..
Beeman had about abandoned
the idea of building. Only about
half of the farmers seemed TO
take any interest in the matter,
and the other half seemed dis
posed to act as if the road would
be built anyway and there was
no especial need for them to give
it any encouragement. They
have commenced to wake up,
however and a nice bunch of con
tracts have been received this
week. Some influential farmers
have lately been taking an inter
est in the matter and considera-
BILE progress has been made.
Mr.. Beeman is in receipt of a
letter from the Commercial Club
at Grand Forks, asking about his
project, and the intimation is
given that if there was a chance
to have the line extended to the
Forks substantial assistance
might be given. 1t is under
stood that for the present, at
least, he has no thought of build
ing a line more than eighteen or
twenty miles in length, or pos
sibIy to Hope, which would be
about thirty miles. The bust
ness men of Hope are very an
xious to have the line come to
their town and have made some
nice offers.-Times-R Record.

AMERICAN GIRL
WEARS OUT RIVAL

London July 4.-The match be-
tween Miss May Sutton of Pasadena,
CAL, and Miss A. M. Morton in the
semi-finals for ladies in the all-Eng-
land tennis championship, was the feat
ure of yesterdays play at Wimbledon.
Miss Sutton literally wore down her
opponent before stands filed with
members of fashionable society, who
expected to see the English woman
win. TIE match was interesting only
for short time. as Miss Morton was
tired out by the American players
persistent returns from almost impos-
sible placing. 1t is now believed that
Miss Sutton will win in the all-comers'
championship and make a strong play
for the challenge round against Miss
K. Douglas. Larned and CIotheir will
meet the Australian players, Crook
and Dunop, in the semi-finals of the
doubles.

Following the announcement OF the
failure, lively run started on the
Central National bank. but the officers
made every effort to pay the deposit

excitement died down, and at closing

CHINESE A DEvoUT PEOPLE.
Those Farthest From Missionaries
The Most Honorable and Reliable.

The Most Honorable and Reliable.
How little the white man, especially
the majority Of those of us who go
forth as missionaries to convert the
heathen,'' comprehend the Chinese
character! To the student of Chinese
institutions and the Chinese them
selves it seems outrageous presump
ton, for the truth is that the Chinese
are without doubt the most religious
people on the globe. Their religion
is very part of themselves, accepted
without discussion from birth.
The veriest pauper from a worldly
point of view, who lives on one of the
hundreds of sampans floating before
Canton, will deny himself in order
that he may perform a particular re-
ligious duty. There are no people save
the Mohamme dams that so completely
live up to- the faith they profess
China has no divergent churches, no
wrangling apostles; there is the one
creed, of thousands of years standing,
to which all yield allegiance, and to
which all pin a faith that continues
unto death incontrovertible.
Now and again we hear of a con
verified" Chinaman, but 1 never saw
one that had really broken from the
faith of his fathers who was not the
less Trustworthy. In a considerable ex-
perience with many kinds of natives
in the wilderness of their own coun-
try 4 save invariably found the ones
farthest from 'civilization" and the
converting" influence of conflicting
white-man creeds to be the most hon
orable and dependable. l mean this
as no unkind.y rejection upon the
Christian faith or upon the zeal, often,
alas, so ignorantly directed, OF many
good people.
