But the funny poet who wrote those lines was mis-
taken about Owen Moore coming back one day. Mr..
Moore having been burnt once would not stick his fin
gers in the same fire again. No, ndeed Mr.. Moore
would stay away not because he was Owen Moore than
he could pay, but because if he ever came back and
started again in business there he would be Owen Moore

Washington College Girls Indignant

Frlm the Seattle Times
When Bishop Scadding. Of the diocese
of Oregon, in the Episcopal church, said
that Western girls are cheaper TO enter
tain than the Eastern variety, he was un-
aware that he touched a tender spot in
the makeup of the girls at the Univer-
sity Of Washington The varsity young
women say the bishop does not know
whereof he speaks, or he would net make
such assertions.
The girls say that a gaze at Mount
Rainier is not a substitute for ice cream
and that they demand other articles Of
diet besides sea food. They also inJ.-
mate that the bishop has not been n the
habit of entertaining the sweet g;vl grad
yates Of the land or he would not say
they are cheap to feed.
The girls do not want the impression
to get out, however, that they are eX-
pensive luxuries and that they bleed
the youthful swains of the West. A
happy medium is the keynote of their
sentiments.

NEW ROAD ACROSS CONTINENT.

The great lakes for AL time re-
main the favored freight route from
the West to tide-water, but when the
lakes are frozen, if the crops increase
as the have increased for the past
decade, there will always be millions
of bushels of wheat awaiting ship
ment in the West. In order to haul
wheat at a profit two Thousand miles
from the wheat-fields to the Atlantic,
it is absolutely necessary that the
road be as free as may be from heavy
grades and excessive curves. While
the entire line is not yet definitely To-
Gated, enough field-wOrk has been
done to demonstrate beyond a doubt
that the Transcontinental will be, as
far as grades go, one of the best laid
lines across this continent. From
the great wheat-felds of the West to
tide-water on the Atlantic the grades
going east will, in all probability not
exceed GA of foot per 100 feet. This
will mean that a modern locomotive
will handle forty-twO cars between
Winnipeg and Moncton.
The first surveys of the government
section under the commissioners were
commenced in October. 1904. The
first contracts from near Winnipeg
to a point 245 miles east thereof, and
from the north end o. the Quebec
bridge for $50 miles westerly, to-
tai distance of 395 miles, is being
awarded as this article is being pre-
pared. Inasmuch as the prime pur-
pose of the road is to relieve any
possible congestion of grain at Winnie
peg the government is doing every
thing in its power to facilitate the
construction of that part of the tine
from Winnipeg to Superior Junction,
where it will be met b a branch line
now being built by the Grand Trunk
Pacific Company northwesterly from
Fort William to connect with the
main Transcontlnental line BY this
means it is expected that the new
road may be built in time to partici-
pate in the transportation of the
crop of 1907. AS one evidence OF the
rapidity with which the output of the
western fields is growing it is stated
that in 1901 the Grand Trunk Rail-
way system received at it's Lake
Huron ports 100000 bushels of
wheat Last year the receipts reach
ed 29,764,0 600 bushels.-Hugh ID. Lum-
den in Scribner.

THE SWEET GIRL GRADUATE.

Baltimore Sun.-Commencement
day and the season for expressing
girlish dreams and aspirations in
poem and essay are at hand The
girl graduate-a lainty creature all in
nocence and hope, gowned in white,
as unsullied as her on neart. And
her commencement essay-the very
first Towering into speech OF all the
ideals the dreamy fancies, the re-
solves of a scarce awakened heart.
Hats off, and health to the sweet
girl graduate! For she is sweet
sweet as her mother, whose youth
smiles through her daughters eyes.
and sweet as every ancestress VINO,
vanishing into the mists of long ago,
has nevertheless dropped upon her
slender shoulders the dover of youth
and all womanly qualities and be-
queathed to her the mission of reviv-
ing hope and love in life.
