TWIN TRANSCONTINENTAL LINE
James J. Hill IL ConstructinR n Line
from winnipeg TO van
cOuver.

ST. PAUL, Mimi. April 2.--The Pioneer
Press tomorrow will say James j. Hill
is to have a twin transcontinental road
operations now being under way for the
construction of an east and west line be-
tween Winnipeg and Vancouver. Five hum
dred miles of the new line Is already In
process OF construction and the plans call
for a total OF 1S00 miles. Hitherto II has
been surmised that Hill was building in
connection with the Canadian Northern,
but this is not the case and an exciting
rail laying contest soon will start between
the Great Northern, the Canadian Northern
and the Grand Trunk Pacific. The biggest
stretch of line on which construction is
now under way is between Vancouver and
Princeton. The route follows along the
Fraser river and inclining northerly it
strikes Just north OF the Tulane river. The
line proceeds along the Simllkame valley
in northerly direction to Midway, b. c.,
from which point line already has been
built to Nelson, Grand Forks and Bonner's
Ferry, where connection is made to Kus-
kononok. From there a line is 20 be built
TO Fernie. where there are extensive coal
deposits. From Fernie the line will strike
across to Winnipeg. Surveyors already are
in the field on this section of the proposed
road and construction presumably will COM
mence in month or more. This will give
the Great Northern almost as short a line
as the Canadian Pacific route.
A number of feeders for the Canadian
transcontinental line are being built from
points in the United States, One is from
st. Johns, n D., TO Brandon, Manitoba,
another from Neehe, n. D.. to Portage
La Prairie, Manitoba, and the third is the
construction of a line from Hibbing. Mimi.

INSURANCE QUESTION is UP

NEW YORK. April 2-Recorder Goff at

matters.
Recorder Con, I'm charging the jury, said
that some insurance matters had been
called to his attention by Judge O'Sulli-
van, who presided over the March grand
jury. He said IT appeared to him that the
March grand jury had been properly in
structed by both Judge O'Sullivan and
District Attorney Jerome, that there was
reasonable ground for the belief that there
is available evidence showing that crime
had been committed in the insurance mat
ter.
He instructed the grand jury that It had

banquet was preceded by an Informal

Ct zee. but IL was decided 10 take no

vention.
Governor Folk, responding to the subject
of Good Government" spoke I'm part as
follows:
We are in the midst of one Of the most
dramatic periods OF American history, the
period in which the peoples rights are 10
be defined and observed as they never have
been before There are some who see danger
to our Institutions in the agitations result
ing from the exposures in official and busi-
ness life. do not share this view To my
mind the hope for the perpetuity Of this
government by the people was never
brighter than now. The fact that this
awakening has come at time Of unusual
prosperity shows that II does not proceed
from a spirit of discomfort. but springs
from the moral sense of the people. 1t is
simply determination to stamp out the
things that dishonor in public life and the
things that oppress i'm private l!fe-a firm
resolve that government shall be repre-
sentative OF the good, not OF the Da0.
The elimination of special privileges is
the great question before the people of this
Countrywide railroad rebate special privi-
leges the tariff so arranged as to give spe-
cial privileges and create monopoly, and
every special privilege founded on graft
There is room in this country for only two
great political parties. Our form Of gov
ernment naturally makes one the party of
special privileges and the other the party
OF equal rights; one the party of the
classes. the other the party of the masses
No grander mission can be I'm store for
the democratic party than TO continue the
graft and special privileges Clothed in
the armor Of a righteous cause, the attack
of democracy upon the citadel of graft and
monopoly, II aggressive enough, must tri-
umph In the end, for the principles of true
democracy are enduring because they are
just and invincible because they are right" :"
Governor Folk dictated an interview for
publication in which he declared that every
state in the union should enact anti-pass
and statewide primary laws. Governor
Folk called on Governor Cummins at the
state house and later in the day addressed
the Iowa legislature. Concerning the free
pass evil Governor Folk said:
"The free pass is the most hideous, in
sidous specie Of bribery, and the sooner
the practice is stopped the better it will
be for the public welfare. The primary
system is manifestly the right proper and
honest method of making party nomina-
tions, 1t is hardly necessary to comment
on it,"

A Bridge Kept In Repair by MuSsels.

A Bridge Kept In Repair by MuSsels.
The byssus, or silky beard, by which
the mussel moors itself to the stone, is
a familiar object of our sea rocks. 1t
Is in its nature like the silk of the silk
worm and eXudes in Il glutinous thread
from an organ at the base of the foot.
The following is an instance in which
the mooring of the mussel was useful
to effect a purpose which human skill
could not accomplish: A large bridge,
with twenty arches, in the town Of
Biddeford, in Devonshire, crosses the
Torridge river near the spot of its
junction with the Taw. The tide flows
so very rapidly here that it was found
impossible to keep the bridge in repair
by means of mortar. The corporation
therefore keeps boats employed in
bringing mussels to it. and the inter.
stices Of the bridges are filled by hand
with these mussels. 1t Is supported
from being driven away by the tide
entirely b. the strong threads which
these musselS fix to the stonework, and
by an act or grant it is crime liable
to transportation for any person TO re-
move the mussels unless in the pres.
ence and by the consent OF the cor
porutive trustees.-Scottish Nights.
