ed to the C. P. R R. by right of discovery 1t
soon became evident that the c. P. K had the
best of it. The great internal basin between the lakes
and the Rocky Mountains under the influx OF mml-
grafton would soon become the most populous portion
of the Dominion The Grand Trunk, limited to the
field of the east was shut out from all this mere
spectator looking national development IN which
it must not take part.
HAYS saw in his minds eye the empire that needs
must spring up on the prares west OF the Lake OF the
Woods But to get into that field meant the building
of new continental line against the opposition
of powerful rival 1t the opportunity OF his h1e
and he did not let it pass. But to build rans-con
mental line meant the expenditure OF millions.
The government that had granted to the Canadian
Pacific and other roads millions of acres OF land had
no more to give away. If government aid was to be
secured. it must be on another basis. Not only the
government but the conservative element IN the Grand
Trunk Company must be won over to a new scheme OF
operation This was accomplished new company,
the Grand Trunk Pacific, was organized and contract
was entered into with the government by which rail
road was to be built across the continent wholly on
Canadian SOIL One-half of the road was to be built
bv the government and leased to the Company for
term of fifty years rental equal to per cent on the
cost of construction The other halt was to be bult
by the company and the construction bonds guaranteed
by the government and the old Grand Trunk Company
The cost of this vast enterprise, the greatest single
railroad enterprise of this century, estimated at

Island Frisco combination = the greatest railroad

Yoakum born in Texas, and unlike Hill and
Hays, has made the stamping ground of his youth
the field of his operations. His faith IN the resources
and possibilities of the Southwest he imparts to
everyone within his horizon. As young man
he travelled Texas selling fruit trees and he
knows the country from personal contact with its
dirt roads and fields. He drfted into the railroad
business by accident and rose in the profession by dlnt
of nerve = the infinite capacity for taking risks
He found the Frisco a Conglomerae jobot OF crooked
lines starting from ST. Louis and ending nowhere.
He organized them into a system He built extensions
into new territory and connected up the dlsJolnted
links When the upheava in the Rock Island came,
few years ago. he saw the possibilities OF an amalgama
ton of the two systems into unit.
Now like great spider with its head at Chicago It's
body on St Louis, and its long legs stretching to St
Paul, Omaha, Denver, Ell Paso, and Birmingham, the
Rock Island Frisco system embraces over 900 miles
of trackage but these 1000 miles of steel seem to be
but the nucleus of the vast system which has taken
shape in Yoakum'S mind
1t was Attorney General Knox who, in the merger
case called James J. Hill 'an empire builder and orlen

this end he is preparing to connect the Rock Island
Frisco system with New Orleans by a line from Mem

Arkansas another link through the great pine forests
of Louisiana will connect the western part OF the

Hays was born nean Rock Island, ILL.,, IN 1880
His early career was different as possible from
that of Hill. As boy he got into the railroad bus-
ness, and rose by diligence and good work from one
position to another until he made president OF
the Wabash system. While here his great oppor-
tunitv came He was offered the presidency OF the
Grand Trunk Railway of Canada Now, the Grand
Trunk Railway of Canada was an old and
very conservative institution. 1t was organized
in 1854 the first railroad in Canada. More
over, it was owned by Englishmen and operated
from London. Whatever was to be done, had to be
first passed on by the London board. Such had been
the custom from the inception OF the road and to
change it was according to the English business ethcS
almost crime. But Hays was an American : and
he knew the railroad business. He had that INFINITE
caDacitv for taking risks He ignored the London end
and ran the railroad from his office in Montreal He
did not ask permission to do things He did them and
expected the board to ratfy his acts 1t was bold
stroke but it was successful and therefore was genius

A Ginseng Garden IN the Mountains.
e. NeWs.)


An iteresting enterprise in the
vicinity Of Foscoe [Watauga county
which is situated two miles up the
beautiful Watauga river from ShulIs
Mill, is a ginseng garden owned by
Nessrs. J. B. Johnson and Julius
Galway. The ginseng plant is a
delicate plant that has its favorite
habitat in the densely shaded coves
and glens Cf the mountains. 1t is
Of slow growth, attaining its full
maturity at the age Of seven years.
1t takes year for the seed to ger
inmate and then under careful atten-
tion the little plants or sprouting
seed are transferred from the germ
mating boxes to the muckbeds haul
ed in from the woods. The beds Of
muck are arranged much like an
ordinary plant bed and the little
ginseng plants are six to ten inches
apart in the beds. These beds are
all Of the rich muck from the noun
tain coves and the cultivation Of the
little plants simply consists in keep
ing the beds clear Of weeds and
keeping a liberal amount Of cool,
damp muck around the plants. The
whole garden is covered over and
fenced in with q substantial lattice,
giving to the plants D cool, damp,
shaded bed, as near like the densely
shaded coves as possible.
The plants begin to produce seed
at the age of three to four years and
these seed are carefully harvested
and planted. The root Of ginseng is
the part that is valuable and at the
age Of seven years the roots are dug
and sold. The price ranges from 81
to 81 per pound for the dry roots
and the growers estimate that they
can secure good income from an
ordinary garden after the crop is
once started and has been going for
seven years. Messrs. johnson & Cal
away have several hundred dollars
invested IN their garden and expect
after a few years to have some gin
seng ready for the market.

Why Lain is Used by Physicians.
New YORK Terald.)

! New York Herald)
Il don't see," said the man who
was leaning against the drug store
counter, why a doctor can't write
his prescriptions in English instead
OF Latin"
The druggist said, You think,
suppose, that the doctor writes his
prescriptions in Latin so it can't be
read 50 easily-so the layman can't
steal his trade and learn what, he is
giving him. But that's all wrong.
In the first place, Latin is more ex-
act and concise language than Eng
lish, and, being a dead language,
does not change, as all living langu-
ages do.
'Then, again, since a very large
part Of all the drugs in use are bo-
tanical, they have in the pha rmaco-
p9ia the same names that they have
in botany scientific names. Two
thirds of such drugs haven any Eng
lish names, and 50 couldn't be writ
ten in English.
But suppose a doctor did write a
prescription III English for an unedu-
Gated patient. The patient reads it,
thinks he remembers it, and so tries
to get it filled from memory the sec
ond time. Suppose, for instance, it
calls for iodide Of potassium and he
gets it confused with cyanide of po-
tassium. He could safely take ten
grains OF the first, bat one grain Of
the second would kill him as dead as
mackerel. That's all exaggerated
case, but it will serve for an illustra-
ton. Don't you see how the Latin
is q protection and safeguard to
the patient? Prescriptions in Latin
he can't read, and consequently
he doesn't try to remember.
Now for a final reason. Latin is
a language that is used by scientific
men the world over, and no other
language is. You can get Latin pre-
5criptions filled in any country on
the face Of the earth where there is
a drug store. We had a prescription
come in here the Other day which we
had put up originally, and which had
since been stamped by druggists, in
London, Paris, Berlin, ,Constantinople,
Cairo and Calcutta What good wnuld
an English prescription be in St.
Petersburg?"

Opera Glasses, Net Guns.
iOur Dumb Animals.)

If the small boy were taught to
think of the suffering of the turtle
or toad, of course the boy would not
leave him on his back. If he thought
of the starving birdlings in the nest
he would hesitate to kill the mother
bird. Jeremy Bentham says: "Give
your boy an opera glass and send him
into the woods to learn the patience,
ingenuity and industry of birds"
Let him learn to distinguish the song
of one bird from another. Arouse
his curiosity as to their wonderful
habits and give him the innocent de-
light which the study of natural his
tory is sure to bring into his life and
holiday pleasure. Teach him the
cowardice of torturing helpless
birds. Let him know their value as
insect-eaters, and that we need
many more birds in our woods and
near our homes than we now have.
Insist that the coming generation
shall realize the sin of cruelty and
the bad tendency Of any act which
gives the question of life or death in
to irresponsible hands. Jenkin Lloyd
Jones says: is the boys am con-
cerned about more than the spar
rows, and | earnestly object to this
putting incipient murder into the
hearts of our boys" And the late
Frances E. Wizards words in letter
to Mr. Angel are none to strong:
Il look upon your missions as sac
red one, not second to any that are
founded in the name of Christ" The
man who shoots a thousand birds for
anatomical or technical examination
learns less than he who carefully
studies the habits and thoroughly
learns the song of one.
The much abused sparrow has
friends among naturalists, who de-
clare him to be useful insect eating
bird.
Let us encourage birds to build
about us by feeding them and put
ting up bird boxes for their nests.
Let US discourage as far as possible
the destruction of birds, and endeav-
Or to teach the small boy, and the
large boy as well, that a live bird is
much moro interesting To watch than
a dead one. Thus we may change
his interest in birds from that of a
savage to that of a naturlist. One
good way to do this is to form Bands
of Mercy in schools and elsewhere.

Strong Temperance Resolutions.

The following strong resolutions
passed by the Warrenton Methodist
District Conference at Ahoskie some
time ago, show positive stand by
that body for temperance:
Whereas, the liquor traffic is the
greatest curse to our homes and the
worst foe to our churches, and
whereas, every church has spoken
out against this evil, therefore, be it
resolved by the Warrenton district
conference:
First. That we stress the law Of
our church discipline 2l6, page 9D
forbidding member to hold any po-
sition in barroom or dispensary, or to
in any way aid the business. And
if a member persist in holding such
a position that we proceed as the dis
cipline requires.
Second. That we note with JOY
the success of the temperance forces
in Georgia, carrying State prohibi-
ton, ard favor similar action by our
legislature in 1909.
Third. That we deplore the fact
that large portion of the Warren
ton district still legalizes the accursed
liquor traffic, and we urge the church
everywhere to awake from its leth-
ergy and drive out the curse. To
this end we pledge our assistance to
any places that shall try to overthrow
the saloon or dispensary. We are
glad to see that Warrenton and
Winston are soon to vote on "dispen-
sary or prohibition" and hope every
Methodist will be true to his con-
science, his Bible and his church, and
thus vote for prohibition. We call
on our people to fight for prohibition
only, since nothing else is biblical.
Fourth. That we fully endorse
the platform and methods of the
Anti-Saloon League, and that we will
use it and help to support it. We
rejoice at the successful work of the
State organizer, Rev. r. l.. Davis,
and will gladly welcome him in our
fields at any time"

Thai Standard Oil Fine.
Charlotte Obsarver.)


Of course the figure sharps have
got busy on the fine Of $50, 100000
imposed by Judge Lands On the
Standard Oil Company. Perhaps the
most noteworthy of their findings is
contained in the statement that this
amount in the form Of silver dollars
would load about fifty ordinary coal
cars to full capacity. But there are
other comparisons not much less
wonderful. Five first-cla5s battle
ships could be built, or 1924 homes
at $4,000 each. This sum would
yield an annual income Of S4,027 a
day. 1t is slightly more than half
the money coined each year by the
United States government and about
35 cents for every man, woman and
child in the country. If they con-
tributed all their salary the Presi-
dents OF the United States could not
work out the amount in less than
5S5 years. 1t is nearly h llf the num-
Der Of silver dollars in circulation.
in short, it would be tremendous
fine if levied upon any other human
institution than the Standard Oil
Company.
