To Preserve Hoods Birthp,ace.

A meeting convened by the Leyton Ratepayers' association, held at Ley tonstone, has decided to appeal fo- funds with which to secure Lake House estate. Lake House, in which the poet Hood was born and lived till early manhood. stands on the confines of Wanstead Flats, near Ley tonstone.
 The house and estate have recently been acquired for building purposes, but local feeling is strongly against the project. it being felt that the house should be preserved for the sake of it's associations, while the grounds would make charming pleas. ure gardens.-London Daily News.

County Line Not On Record.

LEWIsTOWN, Dec. 25.-The report
that the general land office at Wash.
ington has discovered that a strip of
country along the Missouri river,
some 100 miles long and about 10 miles
wide, supposed to belong to Fergus
county, is, in reality, a part of Chou
teau county, was a surprise to the old
timers here. but the circumstance is
easily explained. Back in territorial
days it was seen that the natural
boundary between the two counties
was the river, but the line of Chou
teau extended over on this side for
something like 10 miles.
An adjustment was proposed by
which Fergus county was to take the
strip this side of the river, and in re-
turn was to assume such portion OF
the deb, of Chouteau as would be
fairly represented by this land. The
proposition was entirely satisfactory
to both sides. and was agreed to, and
there vas legislation about 1888 that
was intended 70 carry into effect the
agreement. If there was any hitch
any where the people here are not
aware of it, and it is quite certain
hat the payment of taxes to Fergus
by this section was in pursuance of
the plan supposed to have been legal

may not show this action, but it was

ROUTE OF THE MILWAUKEE.
New Railroad Will Compete With North
ern Pacific In Montana.

HELENA, Dec. 26.-The work Of
building OF the Milwaukee extension
through Sixteen.Mile canyon, east
from Lombard, will actively start this
week. c. Dittmer, of the contracting
firm OF Dittmer, Bradbury & Welt.
brec. which has the contract for the
forty miles through the canyon, was
In Helena tonight, and he said that
just % soon as he could get his camps
established be would start work.
Nearly all the work IL rock, and un.
der the contract the work Is to be com.
pleted in q year. 1t is intended to
employ three thousand men On the
work. The lev line will be built nine
ty feet higher through the canyon
than the present Harlow line, and the
roadway will be cut through the solid
rock. 1t is the longest stretch OF rock
work on the extension 10 Montana.
There will be ten tunnels in the forty
miles.
The first detailed information con.
corning the plans Of the Milwaukee &
St. Paul in relation to it's Pacific
coast extension is connected in the re-
cent statement aud map given ont by
President Earling. The press die
patches gave a very meager summary
Of the statement. The map referred to
discloses the fact that the St. Paul
line will make strong competition for
the Northern Pacific practically all
the way from Bismarck to Seattle.
For q portion of the distance, prac.
tically to Harlowton, Mont, the lines
are a considerable distance apart, bu,
are sufficiently close to enable each
to tap the intervening territory with
branch lines. The new line parallels
very closely the Northern Pacific from
Helena to Lewistown, while from LON.
bard to Butte it crosses the Northern
Pacific three times and closely par.
allels it all the way.
From Butte west to Seattle the con.
hlct OF territory Is still more appar'
ent, and shows the reason for Mr..
Hills efforts to keep the company Out
of Seattle and out of the west. Be.
tween these two cities the new line will
cross the Northern Pacific nine times,
and, as seen on the map, the two roads
look as though they were one to ST
Regis, Idaho.
1t is said the cost of the road will
be about $40, 900 a mile, which would
make the total expenditure from Ev.
arts to Seattle about $50, OOO, 600. The
distances over the new route will be
as follows: Chicago to Evarts, so;
miles: Evarts t Butte, al miles:
Butte to Seattle, $50 miles. Total
mileage, Chicago to Seattle, 2,3O;
miles. 1t is expected the road will be
completed to Butte by Jan. l, 1908,
and to the coast a year later.

TO COAL FLEET
Difficulties acknowledgements Of
Mining Companies will
Not Bid

The situation with regard 10 the
proposals issued by the Bureau Of
Equipment Of the Navy Department
for supplying coal for the battIeship
| feet on its voyage 10 the Pacific,
says the Journal OF Commerce, New
York, has assumed rather Interesting
shape by the statements Of several
agents OF the larger coal mining con
Germs that they would not present
bids. Their reasons are that they
have not the necessary quantity Of
coal on hand, aside from the guam
| tity demanded by private contracts
already entered into.
The companies say they have no
reserve stocks on hand amounting To
anything and that the labor situation
Is such that they cannot increase
their mining capacity. The coal, II
was stated, can be obtained In Eng.
land If IL Is necessary to go there,
but the prices will undoubtedly be
what might be clasgcd as fancy
If the coalmining companies have
decided not To present bids for the
contract Of furnishing coal TO take
the Atlantic fleet to the Pacific Coast,
this purpose OF the companies has
not been communicated 10 Secretary
AltbEAilg htgOAutlE - otnAtAtHk A@
made Saturday in Washington. The
Secretary said the department will
have no difficulty in getting all Of the
coal desired, and he believed that II
| IL is necessary TO go TO England FOR
| II the price will be less than would
have 10 DO paid in the United States.
Admiral Cowles, the chief Of the
Bureau OF Equipment, says he has no
apprehension that the Navy Depart
ment will be unable to obtain all the
coal needed for the feet. Some Of
the coal already is pledged by the
companies through which the usual
supply is obtained.
The department prefers that the fuel
furnished be the American product 10
be shipped I'm American bottoms, but

with regret, 10 the use Of Welsh coal

THE HOLY CITY"
Good Production of the Biblical
Drama at the Colonial The
atre Saturday Night

ssThe Holy City was the bill At
the Colonial Theatre on Saturday AZ
ternoon and evening. Two fairly
large audiences were present ~ both
performances. which proved To be ex-
cellent productions. The story Of the
apostle John the Baptist forms the
basis Of the plot. about which Is woven
a religious drama, Of Unusual merit.
While the scenes and incidents Of
the latter days Of The SAVIOR on earth
LEADING up 10 the death OF John and
the crucifixion are portrayed without
the actual appearance Of the Son Of
Man on the stage, there is always 3
well sustained impression OF the near
ness.of Ills life doings and teachings
that Is not offensive nor sacreligiOus.
The only touch Of this is possibly
IN the ratings Of the elders against
the NazariDe and the remuneration and
denunciation Of the Savicr By Judas.
The work OF the members Of the
cast is credifable, but the major credit
belongs TO Mr.. Clarence Bennett, who
carries out the two roles Of John mp
10 bis death following the dance Of
death and the demand OF the Good
Mans head at the hands Of Herod By
Salome and that Of Judas, the betray-
er, in the latter acts Of the play.
Mr.. Bennett, who wrote the play and
has most cIeyerIy suggested straight
through the lines the presence Of the
Christ, without actually presenting
that character, Is All actor Of unusual
ability.
