The story Of the building of tht
Northern Pacific railway will be telt
by it's builders, the men who were
actually connected with the undertak
ing in any capacity prior to 1878, and
published in permanent form. The
story of the railroad will in fact be
not only a history Of dts building but
will be a comprehensive history OF
conditions in the entire northwest
during the early 70's, taking in the
region from St. Paul to the coast.
When completed it will be valua-
BILE addition to the sources of infor-
nation concerning the stretch of
country through which the Northern
Pacific ruins, as we'll as an entertain
ing volume for the casual reader.
The story will be a symposium of
"reminiscences by men who We're &C.
lively engaged in building the Nor
them Pacific, and while it's scope and
extent have not been defined, the
story undoubtedly will cover every
thing concerning the road and the
country it traversed from the time of
Gov. Stevens expedition, which blazed
the trail, until the driving of the last
spike and the later events connected
with the making of a great transcon-
tinental railway system. The book
when published will have the unique
value of everything in it coming first
hand to the reader, for the men who
will contribute will write of what they
saw and heard.
The project was decided upon by
the thirty men who gathered Wednes-
day evening in Minneapolis for a re-
union. Each one of these men had
some part in the building OF the road
and each will contribute toward the
story OF its building. Others will be
asked to contribute, and there will be
a systematic canvass of the country
to locate all those who were in the
employ OF the Northern Pacific prior
to 1873. 4. IA.

Washingt On, January

-
TT was a severe blow to Speaker
Cannon when he discovered that the
statehood revolt had reached formidt
able proportions. All, this week the
prestige Of the house organiz ation has
hung in the balance. Both sides made
confident claims; neither has felt any
great degree OF confd ence. It has
been case where the absence of a
single member, had a vote been talk
en-, might have changed the result
The the claim OF confidence ON the
part OF the house leaders was not
fully justified was evidenced by the
I fact they they gave a full week more
for debate on the Philippine tariff
hill than had been intended. Last
week it was the intention to force q
vote on the Phillip pine bill On Mon
] day or Tuesday. Compelled to recog-
nize that the insurg gents were likely
to defeat the Statehood rule, Speaker
Cannon decided to let the members
talk tariff while I. Jim Watson, od

The Thrce-a-Week World was a brilliant
success in the beginning and has been
steadily growing ever since. Time is the
test of all things, and has set its seal of APP
proval on the Thrice-a-Week World, which
is widely circulated in every State and Ter
ritory of the Union, and wherever there are
people who can read our mother tongue
This paper for the year 1908, will make
its news service, if possible, more exten-

no matter where they happen, are reported
accurately and promptly.
The subscriber, for only one dollar year
gets three papers every week and more
news and general reading than most great
dailies can furnish at five or six times the
price.
The Thrice-a-Week World is absolutely
fair in its political news. Partisan bias is
never allowed to affect its news columns
and Democrat and Republican alike car
obtain in its pages truthful accounts of all
the great political campaigns.
In addition to all the news, the Thrice-a.

that of Delawareans who go to the city

For that traffic our present schedule
seems to be well adapted. But there
is another kind of trayel that is not

1t is that class who live or work in the
city (either Philadelphia, Wilmington
or Baltimore) and desire to go to the
country to spend day or night with
the old folks. This class must so ar
range their affairs that they can leave
Philadelphia or Baltimore by o'clock

time ride through the hottest part of
the day. Even for the traveller who
goes from the Peninsula for day in
the city. the long time between three

Epidemic Of Perfect
Teeth in Wilmington
Leaders of Social and Business
Circles Following New Fad.

Hundreds of residents of Wilmington and
vicinity, including many leaders of social,
business and professional circles, have been
taking quick advantage of the offer of the
NEW METHOD" dental parlors, 61011
Market street to keep their teeth in perfect
condition for year for one dollar.
The new proposition was offered to the
public few weeks ago. and since then the
NEW METHOD" parlors have been
crowded by eager clients of all classes. On
several days the number of visitors from
the surrounding country was so great that
the spacious offices We're unable to contain
them, with the result that a good MANY per-
sons were forced to wait their turn before
being admitted Possibly this was due to
the fact that this is the first time this one
dollar yearly contract proposition has been
made in this country
Despite the startling nature of the NEW
METHOD" offer it has born the careful
scrutiny of serious investigation. The pro-
prietors of the NEW METHOD" dental
parlors are thoroughly responsible gentle
men with high ratings in all of the best
financial agencies and publications.
For one dollar they contract to clean, fill
and, If necessary, extract the teeth of a
client for one year. The dentists in charge
OF the parlors are men of long experience in
their professions. The theory under which
they make their new offer is that If teeth

first imperfections appear they will give
comparatively no trouble thereafter, pro-
ylded they are examined and treated at not
too infrequent intervals. All the work done
IN the NEW METHOD parlors is guaran-
teed to be painless.
So far as is known every patient of the
! NEW METHOD" parlors has been
thoroughly satisfied with the work done
there. A number of unsolicited testimonial
letters has been sent to the manager, DR.. G.
H. Frasier
Mr.. Daniel Humphries, manager of the
Lyceum Theatre, which is Wilmington's
leading family playhouse, writes as follows
to DR.. Frasier:
Dear Doctor:-When saw your advertise
ment in one of our papers, was sceptieal
but as my teeth needed attention. decided
to call on YOU. BY paying one dollar and
receiving card which entitled me to one
years work | became your patient for that
length of time, and on that day received
many times the value of my expenditure.
That was several weeks ago, and the Filings
which you then put in have given me every
comfort and satisfaction.
1t gives me pleasure to recommend your
one dollar year plan and your parlors tc
everyone interested.
Very sincerely yours,
DANIEL HUMPHREYS.
