ELECTRIC LINE DOWN
THE COLUMBIA

An electric railroad is to be con-
structed from Wenatcnee to KiOna,
thus connecting the Northern Pacific,
Milwaukee and the Great Northern
roads. This is the report that has been
received from Seattle and is said to
have emanated from the office of the
Hanford Irrigation company, says an
exchange. Secretary Haynes, in re-
Spouse to inquiries as to the truthful
ness of the report, admitted that the
company with which ne is connected
has in contemplation the construction
of such a line.
Securing it's power from the vast
amount of energy now going to waste
in the Priest rapids, this new road will
connect the several great irrigation
districts Of eastern Washington.
Heretofore there has been no north
and south line in the state Of WASH
ington. The need of a means of COM
munication between the irrigated dis
tricts of north central Washington and
of south central Washington has long
been felt.

ravenous appetite for raw beefsteak
is responsible for the death of Charles

Vean entered a meat market and pur-
chased six pounds of beef, and before
leaving the market began eating it. He
walked three blocks down the street
and suddenly fell to the sidewalk. By
the time the physicians arrived he was
dead.
A post-mortem examination revealed
the fact that the man had eaten the
entire contents of the package of meat
purchased at the market Death was
caused by a piece of meat lodging in
his throat. Mcvean has always had an
uncomfortable appetite for raw meat.

Railroads and Development.

For the past thirty or forty years
railways have been a dominant factor
in shaping our industrial develop.
ment. River transportation in that
time has become comparatively inslg-
nificant. Our canals have been neg
lected. Except for the Great Lakes,
railways have been our only important
highways of interstate commerce to
the seabOard. Railway builders deter.
mined the lines of development, espec-
tally through our Western wilderness.
They decided what territory should
be first opened to settlement and what
should remain closed. Towns and
cities grew up at their bidding, pros
pered in their smiles, and melted away
or rOtted in desuetude under theiI
frowns. The men who have controlled
our railways have been the sculptors
of our industrial fortunes. They have
determined were our great cities
should grow, what natural harbOri
should develop into ports, what remain
as nature left them. A wave of the
railway magician's wand, and it wal
done.-J. w. Bennett. in Moody I

Fine Apples Sell Well in Germany

Consul j. |. Britain, reporting from
Kehl, says that if American apple
growers We're seriously to study the
German market they could undoubted
ly largely increase their sales, especial
ly of the finer and more attractive
qualities of table fruit. He furnishes
the following market pointers:
The question has been asked wheth-
er the cheapness of oranges would not
Interfere with the sale of any other
table fruit commanding niger price
than oranges, In answer to the ques
tlon would say no, especially where
there is market for the finer grades of
apples. Persons whose circumstances
permit them to purchase beautiful ia
BILE apples dc not purchase cheap Or
anges for table use, and the fine grades
of oranges always command good
prices, selling for to cents each =
The inferior grade of oranges in May
and June sell as low as Is cents per
dozen.
Fine table apples for the German
market should be selected from attrac-
tive varieties and good keepers. They
They should be wrapped in tissue pa
per, then packed in fine excelsior, In
boxes made from strong, light lumber.
These boxes should be about "a inches
1rr.T nd -
and sufficiently high for one layer of
apples. Should two layers be placed
in the same box. they should be sepa
rated by cheap cardboard and the sec
ond layer should be packed as the first.
While this sort of packing may re-
quire little more time, yet the extra
expense will be slight and the seller
will be duly compensated by the in.
crease in the price of the fruit. Apples
coming from France running from 23
to 3 to the pound. packed as described,
sell for 5. 6, and cents each-appIes
that are inferior to ours in appearance
and flavor. The size and beauty of
our finest apples would doubtless COM
mand much higher price. No con.
tinental apples equal ours in flavor or
appearance, At present American ap.
pies of the common grades, packed in
boxes or barrels, sell at 10 to II censs
per pound.
II We wish to capture the foreign,
market, we must pay mere attention
to the manner of packing merchandise,

A Printer Story.

On Severa! occasions the Old Time

the result that scores of letters have

tourist to follow me and, climbing the
tank ladder, 1 opened the trap door and
dropped in-and fell into about fifteen
feet of the coldest water ever felt.
