spected work at various points along
the route of the Guaymas-Guadalajar
railroad and other places where the
Southern Pacific is constructing lines in
Mexico.
Large gangs of men are working
from both ends of the line. Guadala-
jara and Guaymas. Now that the rainy
season is over the force will be en-
larged, and fully 1000 men will be PUT
to work by the end of this month.
The first city of importance out OF
Guadalajara is TeQuila, a distance OF
forty-fve miles. Owing to the numer-
Gus tunnels to be cut and various Via
ducts to be built. it will take at least
eigh teen months to complete this short
distance. On the Guaymas end the
work is progressing in fine shape, the
as the Fuerte river. At Corral the road
branches and is completed as far north
as Buena Vista and as far south as
Navojoa.
From Navojoa the work towards
Guadalajara is being rapidly pushed,
with force of about $500 men on the
different branches. Work has also
been commenced on the Southern Pa
cific line south from Nacozari. which

ST. PAUL IN GOOD SHAPE.
Temporary Financial Stringency Does
Not Affect Coast Extension.

Chicago, Oct. 15.-Among the many
new lines upon which construction is
proceeding, unstopped by temporary
financial conditions, is the Pacific
Coast extension of the st, Paul. from
the Missouri river to Seattle and Ia
coma. 1900 miles. Under the far
sighted plan of financing in which the
stockholders agreed to buy about
$100.000,000 of new stock, paying for
it in advance, in six semi-annual in
stallments, on which they receive
per cent interest during the construc-
ton period, the company has had all
the money needed to push work at
numerous points, as well as to acquire
costly terminal grounds at Puget
Sound.
This week the first 100 miles of the
extension, from the Missouri river
west, were opened to traffic. This
added to ninety-five miles of COM
pleted road in Montana acquired by
purchase and forty miles of track
laid from the end of that section east
makes 225 miles built of the 721 miles
from the river to Butte. Mont, the
part it is the intention to complete in
1907.
Work is progressing from the Pu-
get Sound end eastward, and at va
rious points in Washington and Mon
tana, and the annual report recently
issued reiterates the expectation of the
company that the entire line will be
com p1eted during the year 1909.
Up to June 80 over S32,000,000 had
been expended and on December 1
nearly $20,00o,00O will be coming in
for the stockholders third INSTALL
ment, with over $54,000,000 to follow
in the succeeding eighteen months. So
it is safe to count on this 1,50O-mile
not counting 500 miles or SO Of pro-
iected branches.

ROLLED CABBAGE AND

How Young Matron Solved the
Problem Of Getting Marketing

While strolling through one of the
nearby suburbs few days ago a re-
porter witnessed an amusing incident.
One of the known and most popu-

ing her usual mornings marketing
from -peddler's wagon in front of her
residence.
After selecting several kinds of veg
etablcs. she attempted to take them
into the house in her arms, but found
she cou.- not get further than the
front door. She decided on getting
them in by more strenuous means. The
reporter was startled by hearing an
unusual sound. as OF balls rolling
down ten pin alley. and Choking
around to discover whence the noise
came. he was amused to see the lady
who had Just left the wagon, place q
large head of cabbage in the door and
give it a vigorous kick. The cabbage
was followed in quick succession by
a pumpkin and several large yam po-
tatoes. which rolled down the length
OF the hall
Having finished her game OF foot
ball and feeling content at having got
her vegetables In, and being wholly
unmindful that her athletic feats were
Witnessed. the young matron quietly
closed the door, and the reporter pnsseC
on, wondering II the lady in question
was a graduate of an athletic school OF
