A VICIOUS HABIT,

Giving the Baby Sleeping Drafts

Some mothers will even give the
baby little gin to make him sleep.
The mother who acts thus makes a
fatal mistake. 1t is scarcely possible
to find words which will express
strongly enough the evil Of this prac-
tice. Mothers who get their children
off to sleep by methods like these are
committing the greatest cruelty.
They are doing what they can to in

morning from Denver, where he at

best one ever held said Mr.. Van De-
Water this morning. 1.-The attendance
of delegates was the largest in the
history of the order and the parade
was a brilliant spectacle. The most
important business transacted at the
session was the adoption of a new
constitution and new ritual. These
will be referred to the subordinate
lodges and if a majority are salts

finally adopted. An attempt was made
to provide for grand lodge Organiza-

Northern Pacific May Build to
Mouth Of Columbia
SURVEYORS ARE NOW IN THE FIELD
ELLIOTT'S PURPOSE MAY BE TO
TRANSSHIP WHEAT, AVOID
ING HARBOR CHARGES.

PORTLAND. July 2S.-The activity
of Northern Pacific surveyors, who
are running a line from Kelso west to
the mouth of the Columbia river, and
who are being closely followed by
right of-way agents securing neces-
sary deeds, has aroused much specu-
lation in railroad circles, is the report
that comes from Portland.
The opinion is gaining ground that
President Elliott intends to carry
wheat from the Palouse to a point op-
posite Astoria and there load the grain
on ships. He would then be able, it is
said, to load his cars thus emptied
with shingles and lumber from South
western Washington points for the
east
There is said to be no reason why
Elliott should unload his wheat ton
mage in Portland when he can quite
as easily carry it down to the mouth Of
cost of operation of trains.
BY so doing it is said that Elliott
expects to escape the differential lev
led against this port by the ship own
ers' combine, which had resulted in
the announcement of the Hartman
lines that this charge will be abb
sorbed by the railroad. This item
amounts to Sd, or 80 cents, long ton
of 224O pounds, and goes to every ton
of grain transshipped from the interior
at Portland for European ports.
By loading his ships nearer the
sea. Elliott expects to cut out towage
and pilot charges up the river, as well
as to reduce the stay of ship in the
river by at least two days.
