Growth of Canadian Town.

AS an example of the increasing
railroad facilities for the west, comes
the report of the marvellous growth
of Nokomis, Canada, as a center,
caused by the increase of the wheat
industry of that section of the coun-
try. Two lines have already been es-
tablished in the town and the rich
country lying between the Quill Plains
and the famous Regina district is to
be tapped with line running direct
from Regina, crossing the main line
at this point. and running in a north
easterly direction to the fertile Swan
river valley.
Government support has been given
to the part of the new transcontinen-
tai lines that connect Winnipeg with
the great lakes, and the Grand Trunk
Pacific company, which builds the Sec
tion to run from Winnipeg, is doing
it's utmost to get the rails down as
far west as Edmonton before the
ground freezes.
Already the line has been completed
and is opened for freight as far as
Minnesota, 1856 miles west OF Winni.
peg.
The increased railroad facilities
have made Nekomis the junction point
with the Canadian Pacific and have
also made it the most promising and
the liveliest town in that part of the
dominion.
Despite the fact the town is but
six months old, it has 80 buildings,
two banks and three hotels. Two
great trans-continental lines run
through the town, the Grand Trunk
Pacific and the Canadian Pacific.

BRINGING GEORGE
TO TIME

Some fellows have no idea of the
value of girls time-that is, a girl
who is somewhere between 20 and
30. They just fall into the habit of
dropping in to eat fudge or bits of
cold chicken 1t is nice to do so.
Meanwhile, Maude is wondering how
much longer she must keep her hair
curled and pinch her cheeks to get
the proper glow.
IF he doesn't mean business" she
wonders, why doesn't he move on
and let Joe Smith have a chance?"
Joe isn't as good a prospect as
George; still, he will do in case
George cant be made to speak. But
George continues to hold down the
claim.
Maude tried many ways of induc-
ing the backward one to toe the mark.
Simple as the dear girl looked in her
pretty white frock, she was deep and
knowing, You couldn't blame her. 1t

The Worlds Railroads.

A year and a half ago, according to
a German statistician, the railroad
mileage of the world was 63,771
miles, or 1906 miles more than in the
preceding year. OF the worlds mile
age the United States had 215,713
miles and Europe 192,247 miles. The
worlds capital in railways is estimated
at over $43, ,OOO,OOO,OOO, and the aver
age cost per mile, with equipment.
ETC., is S76,S50. In the United States
the average cost per mile was $68, 1888;
in England, $505,000 per mile. II the
reflective person considers what fa-
cilities for transportation the various
countries have in their rivers and
canals, the cost of their railways will
appear to mark the extent Of the de-
ficiency of water transportation.

OWN RAILROADS IN BRAZIL.
American and Canadian Capitalists
Securing Control.

American and Canadian capitalists
have secured a more or less perfect
control over the system of rail and
water transportation forming a belt
line" around the most productive por-
ton of Brazil, says the New York Sun.
In report to the bureau of manufac-
lures Consul-General G. E. Anderson
at Rio Janeiro says that this "belt
line with the help of the government
railroads and subsidized steamship
line, practically reaches every import
ant commercial center in the whole
republic.
The belt line" system of railroads
is distributed over the republic in
three main lines, as follows: The Sac
Paulo-Rio Grande railroad lines, which
cover the southeastern part of Brazil,
reaching into the coffee districts; the
Amazon-Bolivian line, which connects
the republic of Bolivia and the great
rivers of the northwestern part of
Brazil, which is principally grazing
country.
American interests are now organ
izing a syndicate for the further de-
velopment of the Paraguayan and Bo-
livian connections. The amount of
money at present invested and which
will soon be invested in several en-
terprises now being begun, including
the Bolivian development, will prob
ably exceed $150,0000OO. The move
ment of American railway and other
material to Brazil he saws renresents
the most active and the principal ele-
ment in the export trade of the United
States to Brazil and Bolivia.

NEAR TO DISASTER
RAILROAD MAN TELLS OF MAR
ROW ESCAPES.
Forward Truck Lost from Under Box
Car While Train Was Moving
RapidIy-Train FIageed in
Nick OF Time.

There are actual happenings in
railroading every year which are far
more sensational than the widest
dreams of any writer of felton, said
a railroad man, and he proceeded to
tell stories to demonstrate his theory.
The first story related to freight
train on the New Haven railroad. Will
liam Dellert, now travelling engineer
on the New York division OF the road,
was the engineer. When the train
reached Stamford the car inspectors
examined the cars and in the middle
of the train saw a sight that caused
them to start back in amaZement. The
forward truck of one of the box cars
was missing and the only thing hold
ing that end of the car up was the
coupling.
hurry call was sent out for every
available man to start in search of
the missing truck, for an object of
that kind loose on a four-track road
was likely to cause a lot of trou-
bic. The truck was located down a
bank on an out curve at Cos Cob, six
miles west of Stamford.
1t seems that as the car started
around the curve the pin connecting
the car and the truck broke and the
truck shot out from under the car and
then ran down the bank, leaving the
forward end of the car suspended only
by the coupling. When it is consid-
cred that the train was running at a
speed of 35 miles an hour when it
rounded the curve, and that this gait
was kept up into Stamford, the escape
from bad wreck was surprising.
Engineer Charles M. Clark, former
ly on the Connellsville division of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad had an ex-
perience somewhat similar. He was
firing an engine with three large driv-
Ing wheels on each side, the middle
wheel being without a nange. They
had passed Glencoe and were mount
Ing the grade to the long Sand Patch
tunnel when they were tagged and
stopped.
The engineer utilized the delay to
get down and oil mp little. A
moment later Clark heard him gasp:
CLARK, for the love of heaven, come
down here and see this engine!"
The mid1le driver on the engineers
side had twisted off it's axle flush
with the outside of the journal box.
but the massive wheel was still in an
upright position leaning at a slight
angle on the side rod, which was the
only support holding it on the rail
1t was evident that in this condition
the loose driver had been running
along the rail for at least two miles
of straight track at the end of which
they were.
1t was thought that the wheel was
twisted from its axle as the engine
rounded a sharp curve about two
miles below, and it was pretty certain
that it would have jumped the track
and fallen in the way of the hind driv-
ing wheel as soon as the engine start
ed to go around the very next curve.
That this did not happen was due to
the accident of the train being tagged.
The engine ran along all right until
the train was tagged, but once stop
ped, the engine was completely dead
and had to be hauled to the end of
the division.

Eatinu on the Train In Spain.

AS even express trains seldom attain
a higher rate of speed than twenty-five
miles per hour, travel is slow and
tedious though fairly comfortable, and
to enjoy Spain one must assume the
leisurely indifference of the Spaniard
to whom manana is always the chosen
time He is wise who carries his own
luncheons and never are dainty tea
baskets more indispensable than on
these long journeys. Spanish eti-
queete demands that the traveller be-
fore partaking of his food must po-
litely offer it to those who share the
compartment with him. 1t may either
be graciously accepted or declined.
In no country is it so difficult to
travel and to secure information, as
but little English is spoken even by
important officials.-Travel Maya

Cars Run by Man Power.

Street railways with cars operated
by manual power are in use at Nam
basa, in East Africa. The light, mar
row gauge tracks are laid through the
street. and the cars are for hire, like
cabs, or are the private property of
officials and wealthy residents. They
are little four-wheeled cars, with one
or two cross seats, and each is
propelled by two natives. Spur tracks
are run into private grounds, so that
persons can take the cars to their
doors.-Philadelphia Record.

NEWEST IN STEEL CARS.
Union Pacific Mans Invention May
Have Solved Railway Problem.

Representing the highest form of
passenger coach construction, the new
Union Pacific steel car, which was on
exhibition in front of the headquar-
ters recently, attracted large crowd
of spectators and many scientific men
who were interested in the possibili-
ties it holds out for the future.
1t is built on the very latest model,
with round windows-which offer far
greater resistance in case of accident,
and side entrances, which also lessen
the danger of telescoping. 1t has ven-
tilatoTs on the roofing which carry
an air stream around underneath the
car and distribute it evenly over the
entire surface. There is scarcely a
stick Of wood in the whole car anS

body. Mr.. Millar concluded the
ground was being worked wrong,
so he made a change. He shut
the mill down about ten days
ago, and proceeded to sink the
shaft deeper. The result is that
he has encountered a veritable
ore bin. BY that we mean he
has struck it rich. Up to noon
Monday the miners had sunk ten
feet into a body of ore which
will 60 fully fifty per cent lead
and jack. And if possible the
dirt is getting richer as the sink
ing progresses. When the bot
tom of the ore body is reached
drift will be run to shaft No. 2.
The directors Of the company
are expected here this week from
Pennsylvania, and it is believed
they will make orders for con-
siderable improvement to the
property. This strike, however,
has proved that it is better to 60
to the bottom of the ore, so as to
find out what is to be had in
drifting. The present develop
ment in the Monon is going to
easily supply the mill with the
necessary dirt to keep it going
steadily. Watch the Monon.
