ly shut out the Great Northern by
dividing the territory in two which
the Hill lines have left between
the rails of their own system and
the boundary. By building an ex-
tension half way between. the Cam,
adian route and the Great North
ern's American route the 500
would cut in half the distance
which the shippers as far north as
the boundary now have to make
overland to reach the Great North
ern road. Inasmuch as the 500
would have an even chance for
business from the country which
will lie between its own lines and
the Great Northern and it will
control absolutely the territory ly-
ing northward to the Canadian
Pacific route, the 500 and it's par
ent company, the Canadian Pacific
will practically cinch the traffic
from wide belt of country by the
completion of the new line.

500 Will Build to the Coast.

A late dispatch says that posi-
tive announcement is made in
New York that the 500 line will
build to Seattle. Former Con-
gressman jefferson M. Levy, ac-
knowledged head of the Canadian
Pacific pool, said to group of
newspaper men:
"You can state definitely that
the Canadian Pacific management
intends to extend the $780, road
to Seattle.
"This is the reply to James J..
Hills proposed extensions in Can
ada, and bears out st. William
Van Horne's recent statement in
New York to the effect that for
every mile of railroad Mr.. Hill
builds in Canada the Canadian
Pacific will build two in the
United States
Next spring, through arrange
ment between the 500 line, the
Canadian Pacific and the Spokane
& International, Minneapolis is to
have the shortest route to Spokane
by at least six miles and by sever
al hours time. An extension Of
this line to the coast would give
that city a fifth trancontinental
anda route to Seattle that would
make other lines take notice
This is undoubtedly the plan Of
the Canadian Pacific directors
although extension of one of the
North Dakota lines between the
Great Northern and the. interna
tional border has been suggested
as a fine route with rich and I'M
developed territory from which te
build up traffic, says the interna'
tional border has been suggested
as a fine route with a rich and un.
developed territory from which tc
build up traffic, says the Mime.
apolis journal.
Much speculation was aroused
in Minneapolis among holders Of
500 stock as to what the real plan
for the Soo's transcontinental will
! be. .Nor doubt the Canadian Pa.

cifc would like to have the 500
line extend through to Seattle"
said a closely interested capitalist.
II don't know of any line that is
in better condition to build the
transcontinental than the c., p. R.
However, I don't think the extern
sion will be built to spite the
Great Northern, but because the
line promises to make a due re-
turn. The 500 now, you see, is
the only transcontinental which
does not have to climb mountains,
or cross the desert to get to the
coast. It uses the Canadian Paci-
tic rails. IF the new line did not
promise to pay it would not be
constructed at ALL
Decision by the 500 line to have
it's own rails from Minneapolis to
the coast. thus adding another
Twin City-Pacific coast route, is
expected to create dismay in the
Hill camp, it is said by railroad
men. Already the 500 has given
the G.. N. a body blow in bisect-
ing all of the feeders which the
Hill road had stretched northward
in North Dakota like lot Of ten
tacles to scoop in the wheat and
other products for haul over it's
lines to the, Minneapolis and ST..
Paul market. The 500 came along
and showed a cross country line
between the Great Northern and
Canada, clear from Thief River
Falls to Kenmare, N. D., with a
line planned to Duluth, and IN ex-
tension farther westward.
The 500, crosses no less than
eleven of these feeders in it's new
route across North Dakota. It's
Garrison line, farther south, cuts
off four of these feeders by MAX
ing the same stations or by CROSS
ing the lines.
Continued to the coast, either
the Garrison or the Thief River
Falls lines would serve some Of
the finest territory in the north

timber lands and would ,effectaal-

May the shades of suffering
Moses protect US, Editor Walker
Of the Purcell Register, has ac-
tually got down to recommending
q gasoline engine through the
columns of his paper. We really
believe he has forfeited all con-
sideration of the newspaper fra
ternity, and really ought to be
debarred from ever associating
with them again. Ten to one he
will be using that splendid vocab-
ulary of his in denouacing that
engine in the hardest terms in
less than thirty days. The News
man is like the fellow from Mis-
souri,, who went broke in the
sheep business in an early day in
Texas. His sheep all died, and
he went back to his old home.
When asked the question by a
friend if he ever intended to go
back to Texas, stated that there
was but one consideration that
could induce him to go back
there. When asked what that
was, stated that he would go back
to kick a sheep. If we ever go
out of the newspaper business
the only thing that would induce
US to go back in the business
would be to abuse a gasoline en-.
gine.

A league has been formed in Paris
for upright writing. 1t takes as its
motto a phrase from George Sand,
Upright writing on horizontal pa

The league crusades against the

ing, slanting and angular, which, it
gays, is no longer really taught in
England and America. Slanting
writing is said to cause short sight,

TRAINING BOTH HANDS.

An interesting discussion is being
carried on in England in connection
with the question of ambidexterity,
there being a certain number of ply
sicians and Psychologists who are
Recommending that the child should
be taught to use the left as well as
the right hand and with equal facil-
Ity. There are, however, those who
advise that the left hand should be
used only for left handed motion,
lnasmuch as it is not an exact copy
of the right and must possess cor
responding limitations. While the
advanced ambidextrists believe that
in addition to its ordinary duties the
left hand should be taught to copy
the movements Of the right, such as
in ordinary writing, the moderate
advocates think that, recognizing its
limitations, the left hand should be
made to do on the left side similar
things. These, of course, would be
done by movements in the reverse
and therefore, if absolute
were required, as in
turning screw or in writing, a
screw with reversed thread should
be used and reversed form of writ
ing devised.-Harper's Weekly.
