Water Routes Rule.

Heavy Pittsburg tonnage, coal and
ore and steel, still finds it's way to the
Gulf of Mexico via the rivers. It will
always be the case. This route makes
the, rates on low-grade and imperishable
freight that does not need any hurry
The objection .isy Off course. the time
it takes to handle the freight by this
route. Similarly, the summer rates on
grain and lumber out of northern Lake
Superior and Georgian bay ports are
made by the routes that use water to
the ports on the eastern shore and
thence reach the seaboard by rail. The
Canadian Pacific makes these rates
from Port Arthur and all tributary CEN
ters.
The Canadian Pacific is building into
Spokane from the north. In this sec
ton the new line out of Spokane via
rail and water is looked upon as pos
sible adjunct. The road is to be a close
neighbor of the Northern Pacific thru
the valleys and might we'll become a

All Western Men.

The name of the corporation is the
Spokane & Columbia River Railroad &
Navigation company. w. F. Kyle is
president and W. S. Foster chief engi-
neer, both Of Spokane. The contract
for the building Of the first section is
let to the Eldenbell Construction COM
pa;n;y of New York, a strong and repu-
table concern which has many huge
contracts on hand all over the country.
The cash for the work is said to have
been raised by a local Washington syn
dictate, and New York has not, so far
as known, been called upon for any
participation in the proposition.
The project is important only because
it is the first strong effort of recent
years to establish new rate-making
route between Spokane, the great dis,
tributing point east and west in the
eastern section of Washington and the
coast: 1t will bid strongly, if success
full, for all "slow freight,'' both west
from Spokane and east from Portland.

try have always been. the rate-making
routes, even when the water part Of
the route was a canal or river.

Mueller was arrested on suspicion by

A, SLICK SCHEME.

A set of swindlers are operating
along the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad and have caught quite a
number of good business men, as
reported by the press.
They go in pairs, and one enters
business house, makes a small
purchase for which he offers SO
bill and gets his change and de-
parts. Soon after the other makes
asmall purchase and offers a 81 90
bill. When his change comes he
insists that the bill was $40, and
to prove it says it has a certain
number on the back of it, calls the
proprietor who finds the marked
bill in the cash drawer and deliv-
ers the change, some over SO, to
the swindler, who departs that
much ah cad.
Of course the marked bill is the
one given the clerk by his accom-
plice.

It is announced that the Gov
ernment will look more carefully
to the enforcement Of it's rule re-
garding the roads over which ru-
raj free delivery is established.
The present rquirement is:
"The roads traversed shall be
kept in good condition and unob-
structed by gates; there must be
no unbridged creeks orstreams not
fordable atany season of the year.
In many cases the residents on
proposed routes have made i'm
provements that enable them to
obtain rural delivery service, but
sometimes the efforts to keep up
the roads are relaxed. The Gov
ernment has decided that unless
the roads travelled by the carriers
are properly maintained the SER
vice will be withdrawn.
The Postofice Department now
calls on the carries for reports on
the roads, and will stop the service
where the highways in question
are bad.
The 35,973.rural delivery car
riers now employed cover 1853, 1863
miles daily, and it is unreasonable
to expect them to contend with
neglected roads, or to work for
communities lacking the enter
prise to keep their common high
waysin decent shape.

will be to blame for it, for if alive

WORTHLESS CHECKS.
Thomas N. Farmer Held Mt Paris on the
Above Charge.

Thomas N. Farmer, a native OF
Camden, who on "show day" mar
ried in the county clerks office q
most estimable young lady, is in
the tolls, says the Paris Post-In-
telligencer of last week.
A few days before his marriage
he is said to have passed several
worthless checks here and after
marriage went to Memphis and
did the same thing, for which he
was arrested. Friends, however,
satisfied the Memphis parties, but
Paris parties sent Sheriff Edwards
after him and he is now in jail
here.
Young Farmer was soldier in
the Philippines and was a favorite
of General King, who called him
his "model soldier"
Farmer maintains that the whole
matter is a mistake and asserts
that he can, straighten out the
trouble soon. There is much SYM
pathy for his young wife, and it is
hoped that he will be able to make
good this statement.
