w. & G. OUTFIT TO RETURN.

Wren & Greennugh's railroad
construc ion outfit will return to
Kennewick this fall to widen the
grade for double track from here
to camp 4. The first eighteen
miles of the Portland & Seattle line
on this erd and 80 miles east from
Vancouver will be double-tracked.
T. F. Wren was in town Satur-
day evening on his Way to Palouse
city and reported the arrangements
completed FIR tbs ir return here this
fall. B. that time the contract in
the Paloase will be completed ard
the entire outfit of men and t. ans
and heavy nj schinery will come
here. The work of grading for
double track will be rushed. In
addition to the large number of
horses the firm already had, they
purchased 62 head of hors-s last
week at an average cost of $2o5
per head. This fall they will have
FIVE steam shovels at work on the
contract on the North Bank. Three
of them are now at work. the
fourth is on the road to the west
and the order for the fifth has inst
been placed. The present grade
must be increased twenty feet in
width. In some places this will be
easily done and in others will en-
tail as much work additional as the
sing le' track line required. There
will be something doing in Kenne-
wick when the old boys all get
back,

THE w. R. TODD EXCURSION.

A large number of people from here
and Pasco availed themselves of e
opportunity to view the scenery on
the Columbia Sunday by boarding
the steamer Todd which left port at $50
and steamed down the river stopping
at Hover for additional passengers,
A fine run was made to Mottinger's
ranch where a three hour stop was
made for dinner. The passengers in
sppcted the railroad work, wandered
over Mottinver's ranch and orchard
and in various ways enjoyed them
selves. The wind came up AID the
boat came through "choppy seas" at
the gap on the return trip, but reached
port about 7 o'clock with a happy
crowd of excurs Onists who will be
ready for the White Bluffs trip next
Sunday.

.sr CHANGE OF NORTH COAST
LINE.

ASK CHANdE VI NonAh "oAol
rh. Commercial Club decided to
- .he North Coast railway to
,h.ure its route through town from
=. present survey through the res
:a.rt section and to follow the line
.;tber of Front street or Railroad
street.
When the regular meeting Of the
Club was called to order there was
large number present. Chair
..u Richardson stated that Chief
r,0iueer Pitman and Secretary
suith, of the North Coast railway,
had been in town all day and with
II. railroad committee had gone
.v.r the local situation. These
gentlemen had expressed a willing
ness to try to use another line than
the present one through Kennewick
i there should develop strong SEN
lmeut against the presnt surveyed
line and the preference for a new
line was general.
The question was thoroughly dis
cussed, practically everyone present
expressing his veiws favorable to a
ehsuge Of location to either Front
or Railroad street parallel to the
Northern Pac fc. 1t was stated
that the ,ownsite below the canal
vas small, and therefore objection
ablethat two lines of railroad should
cut through the residence section:
that building that would now be
going on was stopped. for if the
road should follow the present line
other locations would he more de-
sirable. A ron objection would
be that the present line runs close
10 the school building and the moi e
and smoke of moving trains wou d
disturb the school. Many of the
children would have to cross the
track on their way to and from
School and on a grade making it
more than ordinarily dangerous.
If the North Coast should cross
tue townsite on either Front stree,
uRallroad street all the transpor-
hlion facilities by rail would be
concentrated in one place. Union
depot and warehouses conld be
built and travel made as conven-
lent as possib:e for passengers aud
Tue transfer OF freight aud baggage
made easy. 1t was estimated that
this arrangement would save thou
ands Of fdollars annually.
1t was voted that a committee
composed of l.. E. Johnson, DR.. J.
". Hewetson and L. w. Soth en-
body the facts brought out during
the discussion into a petition and
circulate the same and secure sigma
tures and forward the document to
the officials of the North Coast road.
This would indicate the local pub
nc opinion on the question to them
a"ell as to the city council when
application for franchise should be
made.

STEEL MAIL CARS.

Selected.
An effort ,s being made by the clerk'
in the United States railway mail ser.
vice to have all mall cars built OF stee.,
for the protection OF the lives of the
clerks, who are generally among the
first to suffer outside the engine crew
in case of an accident.
Local mail clerks, and there are sew
eral hundred who m axe this place
headquarters or who are passing con
tlnually to and fro, are taking lively
interest in the matter. 1t has been
taken up by the National Association
of Railway Mail Clerks who have been
considering the plan for long while,
and who believe that something ough
to be done to better protect the lives
OF the men who handle the mail, and
who ride sometimes within five feet
OF the engine tender, making theil
chances OF escape very slim In case o.
al accident.
The new problem presented to the
railways in this matter has been partly
solved by the successful building OF
steel coaches, and It only remains tc
secure the cooperation OF the roadt
to get the steel mail cars on all of the
principal lines of the country.

PAuPERS IN UNITED STATES.
More than Half are Foreign Born
and there are More Men than
Women Paupers.

Washington Dispatch.
Pauperism and immigration are
treated In a bulletin OF the census
bureau issued by that department.
In 1880 there were 22,833 foreign
born white paupers in almshousei
of the United States, and in 1896
their number had increased to q .648
while the number of native white pau.
pers had, during the same period, large
ly diminished. Since 1900 the figure.
have lDcreased in even larger ratio.
In the eleventh census Georgia, Mary.
land and North Carolina were shown
to have increasing pauper ratios, whore
rs the present enumeration shows :
decrease Of 81 7 for Maryland, Is for
North carolins and l for Georgia
The order of the states with respect to
number of almshouss paupers to 100
900 of population has undergone some
striking changes in recent years
Nevada has moved up from the twenty
first place to the first place and shows
an increase OF almost 400 per cent
Since the last census Virginia has in
creased in the number OF paupsrs 4o
per cent North Carolina l3 and South
Carolina 81 per cent.
South Carolina is one of the seven
States in the Union showing decrease
in the number of white paupers. The
other States are those principally in
the Northwest.
There are fewer colored paupers in
the South than In any other part oil
the United States in proportion to the
population. This Is accounted for by
tie fact, that while there is an i'm
mense negro population in the South,
the seasons are so mild that negroes
may live In the open many months of
The year, and that being entirely care
less Of future events they are often
satitied with cold rations now and
then, picked up here and there. On
account, also, of the sparseness Of some
sections of the country, many live by
hunting and fishing.
There are more pauper men in the
United States than women. Figures
taken January l, 1904, show that at
that time there were 52,444 male
paupers and 29,32O female paupers
scattered in different almshouses. A.
mong the women the proportion OF
white paupers is largely IN excess OF
that OF the colored race.
Out of 1854 white paupers in aims
houses January l, 1904, 42,205 were
foreign-born or more than half. The
percentage of foregin-born white pau
pers is smallest in North Carolina 4,
where it is only % per cent, while
Minnesota shows percentage OF T3
Almshouse paupers born in Irelsnd
formed 464 per cent, of all foregin-
born white inmates OF almshouses In
this country January l, 1904 Germany
contributed 25.S of foregin-born popu-
lation at the same time and % per cent.
of paupers; England ard Wales furn-
ished 81 per cent OF foreign paupers ::
Canada furnished 4S per cent. Sweden,
Norway and Denmark, 40 per cent,
aud Italy, Hungary, Bohemia Russia
and Poland also contributed largerly to
our pauper class.

On weekdays 1t should have scarcely

the 'boulevardier' of Paris. During
