HARVARD LOST RACE.
CAMRIDGE won BY Two LENGTHS
IN A HARD CONTEST.
Americans Finished Strong, While
Britishers Were All ln-Cambridqe
Got Better Start-Harvard Had Fin.
est Crew Physically Ever Seen in
England, but Lacked Training.

Putney, England.-Saturdays boat
race between Harvard and Cambridge
universities, which was won by the
Englishmen by two lengths, was prob
ably the most surprising ever roWed
on the Thames, not so much because
of the result. but the way in which it
was rowed.
Cambridge, as had been feared by
Harvard and hoped for by English
men, got away the better, securing a
lead which they increased to three
lengths before Hammersmith bridge.
Both crews. as they went under the
bridge, were rowing steadily at %
strokes to the minute, neither appar-
emily exerting itself. Evidently Har-
ward commenced to use more power
and although Cambridge already had
the race won and had the advantage
of water conditions, the Englishmen
were compelled to increase their
stroke to 80 and finished a tired out
crew. Donaldson was ready to col
lapse and Brookes in the bow was
nearly as bad. The remainder of the
crew padded the boat to the landing
stage.
Harvard men, on the other hand,
were apparently quite fresh and took
their boat across the river at brisk
rate. English sports say there is but
one explanation of the result-that of
superiority of Craftsmanship and t he
Englishmen's stroke. Harvard was
one of the finest crews physically ever
seen on the river, but was unable to
overcome that training which English
oarsmen receive from childhood. The
Cambridge crew, too, had in Stuart
one of the best strokes England has
ever produced. 1t has also had the ad-
vantage of choice of side, but those
who know the river best say this was
little in their favor with the tide and
wind as they were.
Comment on Race.
Stroke Stewart of the Cambridge
crew said:
"Filley and his crew rowed mag
nificent race. We are glad we won,
but sorry to defeat such good fellows"
Captain Filley of the Harvard boat
laconically declared that his men had
been beaten fairly and squarely. Coach
Wray was gloomy and had nothing to
say except that he had no excuse to
offer Coach Mattlebury of Cam
bridge said:
"The Harvard men made up the best
crew ever sent out from the United
States. With another year and little
more English style the Harvard men
will be dangerous rivals. hope the
Americans will favor us with another
visit"
The crews dined together at Princes
restaurant.

ing Shape.

The. Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
road has begun the laying of steel
on its new Pacific coast extension.
The rails are to be laid from Glen
ham, point on the Aberdeen and
Evarts division, in South Dakota, to
Flora, on the Missouri river, IL miles
above Evarts, from where the coast
line will proceed. The grading on this
stretch is already completed, and the
construction work will be pushed as
rapidly as possible.
So far the st. Paul people have ex-
perienced little difficulty in securing
enough laborers to carry on the work
as planned, and the management is
congratulating itself upon this fact
A high official of the company ex-
pressed the belief that the publicity
given to the building of the extension
is in large measure responsible for
this happy state of affairs.
I'VE have had little difficulty in Sc
curing workmen to carry out our
plans said high official of the St.
Paul road. Il attribute this to the
fact that much publicity has been
given to our plans, and those who
want work know that we have it to
offer. We have not given orders to
hire any particular number of men.
Our instructions are to employ all that
can be secured
While the actual laying of steel on
the eastern end of the extension has
begun, and the plans for the line west
of the Bitter Root mountains are al
ready completed, nothing is known of
the route across Montana farther west
than Butte. Officials declare that the
Montana route between Butte and the
crossing of the Bitter Root mountains
is not yet decided.

LONELY JOB ON THE FREIGHT.
Where the Brakeman Has a Dreary
Time at His Duty.

The woman who was given to drives
and auto trips into the country was
making a confession, as she looked
eagerly at an oncoming freight train.
There's one thing l never neglect
to do" she said, when I'm out on the
country roads, and that is to wave my
handkerchief to every freight brake
man 1 see.
Il suppose it's foolish of me, but it
seems as if those poor fellows had
awfully lonesome work, and as if their
bravery were not half appreciated.
There they stand or sit on top of those
old cars for hours at time, with never
soul to talk to, with no one to notice
if they should fall off, even. 1 have
a lot of admiration for them. Every
once in awhile they get killed and no.
body gives the tragedy a second
thought.
"On passenger train a brakeman
, can hobnob with the men in the smok-
er, indulge in conversation with help
less old ladies and little children, and
get into touch with his kind; but
there, on those freight trains, a brake
man must have dreary time of it.
They're always ready to wave back to
me, and they always act as if they
appreciated my salute. Sometimes
they yell few words of greeting, as If
they were glad to pass the time of day
with some one"

New Southwestern Line.

Nearly 80 miles of grading has been
done on the ST. Louis, Rocky Noun
taind & Pacific company. For more
than half of this distance track has
been laid, the greater part of which
has been surfaced. The bridge over
the Red river is completed, and other
bridge construction has been started.
During the latter part of September
shipments of coal will begin from the
Koehler mine along the new Crow
Greek branch, which will be finished
by that time.
There are to be 200 coke ovens built
at this point. At Gardiner there is
now in operation a total of 1856 coke
ovens, producing at the rate of 100, 900
tons per annum. The present total
daily output of coal from the various
mines is $500 tons. This will be in
creased by 1000 tons daily when the
Koehler mine is opened.

Wheat in Western Canada
A Good Crop of Excellent Quality Has Been
Raised This Year.

The grain crops estimates from the
$1,000, 900 to lie, 100000 bushels, and
an accurate statement will be some
where between these figures-prob-
ably not far from 90 600, 900 bushels
This year a larger acreage was sown,
estimated at an increase of from 1S
yield of last year been maintained,
the aggregate would assuredly have
gone considerably beyond the 100, 000,-
900 bushel mark. The exceptionally
large influx of settlers was responsible
to a considerable extent for much of
the increased area, and, there can be
no doubt, is also responsible for
part of the decreased average yield.
The first crop raised by the new set
tler-often unacquainted with the
conditions of western agriculture-is
not usually prolific, and 19O5-06 placed
a very large number of amateur farm
ers behind the stills of the pillow; but
they will learn, and learn fast, and
with another season or two will help
to raise the average instead of de-
pressing it.
OF the estimates to hand, that of
the Northwest Grain Dealers asso-

FINDS VIRTUE IN OLD CLOTHES.
Mems Garments Shaped to the Figure

To the eye of the artist the gar.

tolerable when age has adapted them
somewhat to the lines of the figure;
to the average artist a new suit OF
clothes is an abomination.
1T is not only that new clothes are

GOODNESS and formality. We all felt

lem of transportation very prominent
ly to the front, and there is a railway
development in Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan, Alberta and British Columbia,
Such as has never been seen
anywhere. There are at present
over 5000 miles of railway in
operation in that country, and
conservative calculation of the
lines now in course of construction
places the extent at 5000 additional
miles; a large portion of which will
be completed during the present year.
This means the opening up of a con.
siderably increased agricultural area,
and there is every reason to believe
that in very few years the agricuL
tural wealth of the country will be
developed to such an extent that in
stead of "A Hundred Million Bushel
Crop" 1t will not be out of place to
refer to the crop as 900, O00, 900 bush
els of wheat for export" This may
look like drawing the long bow, at the
present time, but, in the light of what
has been done by Western Canada
in the past five or ten years, there
is no limit that can be placed upon
what may be done in the five or ten
years Immediately in front of that
lusty young giant of the West
