at the expense Of another community.
It seems to be the function and the
desire Of railroad corporations to build
up the great centsrs Of population
from which they radiate. No great
center Of population can flourish and
thrive except it hourishes and thrivss
upon the smaller municipalities and
upon the agricultural communities.
The railroads of onr own state and OF
the Northwest have not shown to the
rural communities the consideration
to which they are Justly entitled. Cor
porations doing business In this great
state have grown prosperous and have
thrived upon the common peopls. It
has been argued thaf these arteries OF
commerce have done much for the de-
velopment Of this great state. That
certainly 10 true, but 1t must also be
remembered that without the agricul-
tural regions, without the rural com.
munities and the smaller municipau.
ties the railroads could not have
thrivsd. And a. they have grown
great and strong Il seems to me they
have grown less fair to those upon
whom they depend for their success
and prosperity. As q matter Of fkct

kirch, In Germany, Doyles literary
inclination was shown in the editor
ship of school magazines. In 1876 he
returned to Edinburgh and took UP
the study of medicine at the univers-
ity there, where he remained until he
obtained his diploma, five years later.
In 1880 DR.. Doyle left the university
to make seven-months' trip to the
Arctic seas as unqualified surgeon on
board whaler. There was very little
| demand for surgery aboard the Hope,
| and he has described his chief Occu-
patton during the voyage as being EN-.
ployed in keeping the captain In cut
tobacco. working in the boats after
fish, and teaching the crew to box.
He utilized his experience later in his
story, "The Captain of the Polester."
Two years later, in 1882. after a
four-months' voyage to the west coast
of Africa, he settled down as med
ical practitioner at Southsea, in Eng
| land. where he remained until 1890.
Those were arduous and trying years,
| in which he came to regard the calls
of the profession he had adopted as

life, and found that the writing of

little cylinders of manuscript" he
says, "did 1 send out during eight
years, which described regular orbit
among publishers, and usually came
back, like paper boomerangs. to the
place that they had started from"
| All this time he was writing anony-
mOusly, and during the ten years of
his literary apprenticeship, he states
that, in spite of unceasing and untir-
ing literary effort, he never in any one
year earned fifty pounds by his pen.
Then, in 1887, appeared in Beeton's
Christmas Annual story from his pen

patches from the metropolis say that
the supervisor of the harbor Of New
York called ON Admiral Evans and
served formal notice on him that
the ships We're taking up too much
room in the river, and We're seriously
interfering with navigation. While it
was admitted on the United States
vessels that they We're well out in the
usual channel taken by steamers, they
could not anchor further inshore on
account of the shallowness Of the
water.
There is probably no place in the
world where the great white and buff
ships of the American navy show off
to better advantage than in the North
River. The dozen warriors strung a.
long at anchor at intervals of about
400 yards stretching from the foot of
Riverside Drive at G2nd Street to

fleet was in the stream. The New
York people could not be inhospitable
to these fleets on account of the inter-
national aspects of things, but when
the American ships arrived, waiting
their turn to go to the repair docks,
they were ordered to move away and
give the tug boats and scows engaged
in the Hudson River trade u chance to
pass.
During the short stay of the feet in
New York the bnttleship Illinois in
dragging at anchor suddenly ripped
open a Standard oil pipe line laid a
cross the bed of the river. This line
it seems was not ch..rted and no one
in authority seemed to know just how
or when it got there, but nevertheless
the Standard Oil Company had been
pumping thousands of gallons into
New York City through it every day
for years. When the Illinois fouled the
pipe line the officers on board the ship
could not imagine what the anchor
had taken hold of until the surface of
