ENcLLsHMAN RUNS AMERICAN RAILROAD

Sir Charles Rivers Wilson. president OF the
Grand Trunk railway system, and one OF Eng
lands most noted fnanciers, Is the only man who
directs the AFFAIRS OF large American railroad
company from London. He has lately arrived In
Canada from England. and is meeting with the
directors OF the road at Montreal. BY far the
most important matter before the company at
this time Is the Pacific extension OF the road
One OF the first acts of the board was the expendi
ture of SIS 100000 on rolling stock for the Grand
Trunk Pacific
Ever since Sir Charles became president OF
the road, in 1895, he has been In favor Of the
project OF reaching the Pacific ocean.
When Sir Charles took the presidency the
Grand Trunk was just emerging from long
period Of depression. The tide was on the turn,

In the recent British naval maneuYers, which

commanderin-chief OF the feet which was sup

PRIVATE ENDS TO SERVE.

1t is claimed on behalf of the sup
porters of Mr.. Kellough for mayor that
his election will not in any wise affect
the question as to whether or not De-
ment Brothers company may get an
injunction to prevent the city from
useing the water of Mill creek for the
new water system. The fact remains
| that the principal supporters of Mr..
Kellough are the people who are trying
to get this injunction and that the
meeting announcing his candidacy was
held in the office of the attorneys of
these same people. Even if the election
of Mr. Kellough can have no direct
effect upon the injunction proceed
ings, the fact remains that the Dement,
Brothers company and their attorneys
have tried to get the city to make a
contract to furnish them with one hum
dred horsepower by electricity perpetu-
ally. and to burden the city with this
contract for all time to come as a con-
dition for dropping the injunction
suit
If Dement, Brothers company could
get their candidate for mayor elected
| it is possible that they might renew
| this proposition, or some other equally
| Objectionable one, with better prospects
| than they have been able to do under
Mayor Hunts administration. This
may be an additional reason why the
! same people are trying to prevent the
use of the water system by injunction
and also trying to secure the election
of Mr.. Kellough.

amount something in excess OF S1Vo,0U0
would be REQUIRED and the city would
probably be called upon to authorize
another bond issue in order to ef
feet a settlement.
Moreover. the bunch of unlucky thlr-
teen. when we are forbidden to de-
nominate a faction, clique or cabal, and
which We might be allowed to term

Purity League or some other sancti-
fed name, have another sack in sight,
that promised the little dodger
nv ex-senator John L. Wilson if it
shall succeed in defeating Mayor Hunt
and making it appear that Senator
Ankenv has lost the support of his
home town.
1t is such purely unselfish and patri-
otto motives that have lmpelled the
thirteen Boxers, including four Utland-
ers with no right to vote in city cleo
ions, 10 DTlllS oul SaiiuiUo'S Ao
mavor and 10 devote all their waking
hours to the effort to convince the vot-
ers of the town that he should be
elected. To this end each and all of
them contribute editorial articles and
paragraphs and anonymous communi-
cations to the little dodger, urging the
people in the name of reform, right
eousness and civic virtue to elect their
candidate ,rat the city may be saved
from another year of the progress, I'M
provement and prosperity under Mayor
Hunt. which the Boxer spielers picture
as impending ruin.
OF course nothing is said to the dear
reader about the 100000 hold-up
through the suit for a permanent in
junction against the taking of the city's
water supply from Mill creek or about
the subsidy promised the little dodger
by John L. Wilson if it shall succeed
in humilating Senator Ankeny in his
home town. But here is where the
gazelle comes in, and if the Boxer
candidate wins, his boosters and back
ers expect to play their trump card at
the psychological moment.

COAL TAR FOR MACADAM ROADS.

The following from the Seattle Post
Intelligencer may contain some valua-
BILE hints for our county commission
ers in dealing with the good roads
problem:
During the spring and summer of
1905 the office of public roads cooper
ated with Mr.. Sam c. Lancaster, city
engineer of Jackson, Tenn, and chief
engineer of the Madison County Good
Roads association, in conducting Sc
ries of experiments in Jackson in the
use of coal tar and crude oil in cover
ing macadam roads.
The value of coal tar seems to have
been established by the experiments,
oil applied is not a permanent utility.
The macadam roads were built orig
ent rock. Preparatory to applying the
tar the street was thoroughly swept,
and then rolled with a lotion steam
roller that had spikes in its wheelA
This process removed the loose dust
and loosened up the hard roadway to
receive the tar. which was applied only
after the roal had completely dried,
boiling hot, through a flattened noz-
zle, which put it on in a broad stream.
Men with bamboo fiber brooms follow

quickly as possible. The layer was

The Terrible COckatrice.

The explanation of the origin of that
remarkable organism, the cOckatrice,
leaves nothing to be desired as regards
accuracy of detail. We are told that
"when the cock is past seven years old
an egg grows within him, whereat he
greatly wonders" We can well mag
inc the dismay of any we'll conducted
masculine bird of that age on finding
himself in such a compromising pre-
dicament, but how did he communi
cate his feelings to the historian? That
the embryonic cockatrice had some
mysterious power of self advertise
ment is evident. for we hear further
that "a toad privily watches him and
examines the nest every day to see if
the egg be yet laid. When the toad
finds the egg he rejoices much and at
length matches it, bringing forth an an
imal with the head. neck and breast of
a cock and from thence downward the
body of serpent. Pail Mall Gazette.

only thick enough to fill the interstices
and cover the surface. The sun was
hot, the road dry and clean, and the
tar was practically absorbed in ten
hours After seven months of use this
street is in excellent condition, hard
and smooth, waterproof and dustless
A section cut from it shows penetra-
ton of two inches, and a mass that is
practically a conglomerate.
These results are set forth in circu-
lar No. AZ, juct issued by the office of
public roads of the department of agri-
culture, accompanied by a table of the
cost and a full description of the pro-
C Sc as outlined above. The success
of the experiment seems to justify the
faith of the good roads people concern
ed that they have demonstrated the
value of coal tar when applied to the
surfacing and binding of macadam
road material, as in this instance it has
proved to be a good surface and a per-
feet matrix.

The Caribou as a Swimmer.

Clad with a coat of oily wool next his
skin, the caribou is covered eXteriorly
with a dense pelage of fine quilts. Ev-
cry caribou, indeed, wears cork jack
ct, and when this is prime, the crea-
ture seems on the water rather than in
the water No other Quadruped that l
know swims as high as the caribou.
Their speed afioat is so great that it
takes the best of canOemen to Overtake
vigorous buck. A good paddler is
supposed to cover about six miles an
hour, so the caribou probably goes five.
There are many kinds of woodland and
rough country over which the caribou
cannot travel so fast as this. What
wonder, then, that they are so ready to
take to the water as soon as they find
it in their course! Mr.. Mum assured
me that several times he saw caribou
swim a broad bay that was in their
line, though trifling DETECTION would
have given them easy walking along
the shore to the same point and with
but little increase Of diStance.-Ernest

HOW Death Feels.

In a sermon at st. Pancras parish
church. the bishop of London gave an
indication of his views as to what the
sensation of death would be like. He
said: cat an operation. when you re-
ceive whatever it is that makes you
for the time being insensible, you seem
to be carried for the moment out of
the body. You are, in fact, out of the
body. The body is for the time dead
Your spirit, your mind, is perfectly &C
tive. dare say it is the experience of
many others that you seem to be swept
swiftly under the stars toward your
God. When you are out of the body
or seem to be. If only for few mo.
ments, you realize what death will be. "
