Special to Tho Journal. H.
New York, July 24.-James J. Hill is
reported as saying: CIT is likely that
the Portland and Seattle road will be
extended to Spokane. We cannot say
definitely, but there are surveyors in
the field and if we can get low grade
we will doubtless build. We could use
the Northern Pacific line from Pasco,
tend from Portland to Spokane.
:, - The Portland. and Seattle will be
the best new road that was ever built
in the United States. For part of
the way, at least, it will probably be
electrical. I brought an electrical en-
gineer along on this trip to look the sit
uation over. We are considering the
identification of the Cascade tunnel -

ADJUSTMENTS
Unique-PoIite Vaudeville.


Royalty received by the patrons of the
house who have been anxiously waiting
for their return engagement, the Bell
trio, who head the bill at the Unique this
week, fully justify the applause which
greets them. The Bells sing well, not
only as g. trio, but also as soloists. The
comedy work which they mingle with
their singing Is amusing without detract-
Ing from the more substantial merits Of
their performance. -
Clogging so perfect that at times the
clatter Of the shoes makes real music on
the boards marks the act of Dev1ne and
Kelly, singing and dancing comedians
Their singing is fair and their songs are
catchy, but it is their clogging which lifts
their act above the average. Kelsey
Moore is a slackwire performer Of stand
ard ability, and in addition is remarkably
graceful In the execution of his feats.
Harry l.. Webb Is noteworthy perform
err in that he is blackface comedian who
is genuinely funny. His songs are: unde-
niably clever and his monolog comical
and refined. Margaret Newton does some
amusing Swedish dialect work, and her
stage partner, Charles A. Homan, COM
bines a good tenor voice with a pleasing
stage presence. ~ :: =. E=- F.. S. -.,-
Herman La Fleur has found a song
which appeals strongly to local patriotism
and is received more cordially than ever
in consequence. The song, Dear Mime
tonka,'' is illustrated by familiar views of
the lake. The motion pictures are good.
Taken as a whole this weeks bill is the
most uniformly excellent that has been
pl resented at the Unique for some time.

A Sunday in London, owing to
laws similar to those that regu.

months that the sun is obscured
il is one of the most melancholy
places within the confines of civ

Shown in Naming of Many
Places.

Hero worship has had a hand
In the making Of maps, says an ex-
change. We have post Offices
bearing the names of every presi-
dent down to and including Mr..
Roosevelt. Only two Of his prede-
cessors are lacking in the list Of
counties. Naturally the favorite
in the naming Of towns and coun.
ties is Washington, and he is the
only president for whom a state
has been named. But others than
presidents enjoy these honors.
Successful soldiers. statesmen.
editors. authors. inventors. the
heroes of ancient history and
mythology and even popular
actors and athletes share a like
distinction. Our list of post Of
fees is long one and contains
names from almost every Ian
guage, living and dead. and chosen
on almost every conceivable prin-
ciple or impulse.
Two counties in Kansas present
a curious association Of ideas:
Greeley county has for its capital
a town called Tribune. and
Ulysses is the county seat Of

named along a western railway

named after the members Of a
professional baseball team that
happened just then to win the
championship.

ENGLISH IN THE MOUNTAINS
Where "a Pope of snapplss" Is IN
derstood to Mean a Bag
Of Beans.

Some persons from the north
were spending a month in the
mountains of West Virginia in a
log cabin on the mOuntainside.
One morning, relates Youths
Companion, as they sat on the
porch admiring the view, a little
mountain girl in short blue calico
dress and bright pink sunbOnnet
bounced round the side of the
cabin.
"Howdyw she said. NANNY
wants to know If you all don't
want a poke Of snapples this
mohning."
"A what?" the northerners
asked, in amaEement.
"A poke of snapples," sissy re-
peated. Then, evidently overcome
with shyness, she darted through
the underbrush before the new
comers could decide whether or
not they wanted a "poke of snap
pies"
The expression got into the sys-
TENS of the visitors, until curiOs-
ity made one of them take her
way to the little farmhouse.
~ will take a poke Of snapples,
please" she said, fearing all the
while the mountain woman would
laugh in her lace or think her an
escaped lunatic.
But very gravely the woman
disappeared, and soon returned.
handing the caller a bag of string
beans. The beans, which snap in
the fingers. are called "snapples"
by the mountaineers; and "poke,"
which is good old word for bag
that has survived from the ehak-
sperian English Of the early Eng
lish settlers.
