Lippincott's Magazine sends hearty
New Years Greetings to it's readers
all over the world. And may they be
happier for reading twelve numbers
of the magazine during the year 1906.
The January issue contains Marie Van
Vorst's new novelette,, "The Master
of Craven. This tremendously strong
title is bound to excite-and abund-
antly satisfy-a wide world interest
wherever the name of Van Worst is
known among all classes. The author
is American through and through,
though she spends much time in Paris,
whose atmosphere is productive of
the good fiction that comes straight to
the hearts OF her own countrymen.

Mrs. f. r. Payne, who lives in
Minnesota, in response to the adver-
tisement of a druggist at Chillicothe,
Ohio, sent him ten cents for recipe
to exterminate red ants. The recipe
told her to catch the ants, place them
on a sponge saturated with sweet oil,
and throw the sponge and ants into q
red hot fire. This isn't the end of the
story, however. Mrs. Payne took
the matter up with the postal
authorities and succeeded in securing
the smart Alex druggists indictment
for fraudulent use of the mails, and
there is good prospect that he may
have to serve term in prison. These
be sad days for grafters, big or little.

RAILWAY DEVELOPMENT.
Never We're Greater Projects Under
Way on This Continent.

The next few years promise to be
especially notable for the activity in
railroad construction in the United
States and Canada. The aggregate
railway mileage under contract or il.
immediate prospect is more than 22,-
900 miles, and the cash necessary to
finance these great projects exceeds
100000. While the New England
states have only thirty-six miles al
lotted to them. the southwestern divis-
ion and the Pacific division have each
more than three thousand miles in
prospect. Canada is not less filled
with the railroad building spirit than
the United States. and four great COM
panies contemplate the construction
of more than nine thousand miles of
railway. Winnipeg, already a great
railroad center. is to have two new
outlets to the Pacific. and instead of
one trunk line across Saskatchewan
and Alberta there will be three or
more.
Oregon and Wyoming. arrested for
many years in their development by
lack of moisture. have irrigation pro-
jects under way which will open
them to the agriculturist. AS a con-
sequence the railroads are planning
to lay hundreds of miles of rails
across great sage plains, between lava
beds and through trackless pine for
ests. Trains will carry the settler
with his axe and plough into the new
~ opened lands. and in time return
with lumber. cattle. wool and wheat.
"The spirit of competition" writes j.
D. Latimer in The Review of Re-
views" is not yet dead. There has
never been time in the history of
American and Canadian railways
when SO much directly competitive
railway was under construction" But
there is no building of lines merely
to wreck existing lines, as was the
case when Jay Gould built hundreds
Of miles of railroad merely to wreck
the Union Pacific.

New York terminals, the New York's
Central's outlay of half that sum in
the same place and for the same pur-
pose, and the great improvements of
the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford are, as Mr.. Latimer says, not
labor of love. but works of necessity.
There also looms up the new project
of an electric railway from New York
to Chicago, with Joseph Ramsey. Jr..
one of the greatest constructive rail-
way men of the country. behind it. In
the great plans for railroad construc-
ton no part of the United States or
Canada has been neglected, and while
a considerable proportion of the con-
templated mileage will doubtless
never be constructed. there is every
reason to believe that the years 1906
and 1907 will go down into history
as one of the most striking periods
in the railway history Of the western
world
