G. & E. Surveyors for Detroit.

=
In confirmation of the report that
extension work on the Corvallis 4 East.
ern railroad will shortly begin, party
of IA surveyors equipped with all the
necessary paraphernalia for operations,
left Albany this morning for Detroit
aud the present terminus of the C. &
E. line.
This party of surveyors will CON-
mence work over the old survey made
II years ago across the mountains and
after running another preliminary sur.
vey will return over the route and per.
manently locate the line. The party is
in charge Of Surveyor Anderson Of
Minneapolis, who has but lately come
to Oregon, to engage in the work Of re-
surveying this projected route over the
Cascades into Central Oregon. The
party which left Albany this morning
was made up in Portland. Eight Of
the men have been waiting in the city
for the past few days until the remain.
der of the party arrived from tbs me-
tropolis. These arrived here last even-
ing and the entire party left at once for
the mountains.
Besides the surveying party which
left here this merning there is another
crew of surveyors already in the field
who are working toward what is known
as Hogg pass. A third crew is working
southeast from Detroit and endeayoring
to ascertain an easier grade over the
summit. A fourth crew is said to have
left Shaniko yesterday and is making a
preliminary survey in the direction of
Sisters in the foothills Oh the east slope
Of the Cascades.
The energy with which parties are
being sent into the Eastern and Central
Oregon country TO make surveys of the
possible routes, is encouraging 10 resi-
dents of this section as we'll as those
living east Of the Cascades. At Prime.
vile aud the adjacent section the people
are said to be all excitement over the
prospect that railroad will shortly be
extended into that district. They say
that by the time the next season arrives
they must have some means of railroad
communication withthe outside world
that the great amount of grain stuff
produced may be more easily trans
ported to market. Herald.

A Lincoln County. High School.

Feeling the need of school to teach
the higher branches OF education above
the common school Sth grade, the
Directors OF the Toledo school upon a
vote of its patrons, last year established
District High School, in which were
taught the branches of the 9th and
10th grades. This school was conduc-
ted in the city hall which was fitted up
temporarily for the purpose, aud the
work was placed in charge of Prof. j..
Wilson, a prominent school worker
from Monmouth. The school last
year proved an UNQUALIFIED success,
aud at the annual meeting of the school
patrons this year, it was unanimously
agreed to continue the work of the
school and to enlarge its scope.
This year the school will be conducted
in the new school building, which will
be fitted up in proper shape for the
work. The work of the 11th grade
will be added this year, and next year

of the County High School work.
Another teacher will he employed as
soon as will be necessary, and the
school will be kept up to modern work.
The cooperation of the teachers Of
the county is earnestly requested to

this school one that will include the
high school work in the county. thus
furnishing preparatory school for
Lincoln county pupils without having
to leave the county.
To pupils from other parts of the
county that are desirous of attending
school here the District board will lend
its aid in securing cheap board, and
the Board cordially asks and invites in
quiries from any PROSPECTIVE pupil.

MONKS FIRST PLAYED poMINoEs
Origin of Game That Is Popular the
World Over.

With regard to the game Of DOM
inoes there is a very interesting
story connected with its origin. 1t
runs thus: There were two monks
who had been committed to the pen
atty Of a long seclusion and were con-
demned to keep absolute silence. To
relieve the monotony they played a
game by showing each other small
fiat stones marked with black dots.
By a MISUNDERSTOOD arrangement,
the monk whose hand was used at
first informed the other player by
repeating in an undertone the first
line of the vesper hymn, "Cantate
Domino" (Sing unto the Lord). In
time the monks completed the set Of
stones and formulated the rules Of
the game, 81 that by the time they
were free to come out from their pun
ishment they had found the game SO
interesting that on teaching 1t to the
other members Of the monastery It
became a favorite and lawful pastime.
It 500 became popular all through
Italy and from there extended to the
whole world. The first line of the ves-
per hymn which the monks had used
as a signal was reduced to the word
domino, and the anne has stuck to the
game ever since.

CRIED EASILY.
Nervous Woman Stopped Coffee and
Quit Other Things.

No better practical proof that coffee
is a drug can be required than to note
how the nerves become unstrung in
women who habitually drink it.
The stomach, too, rebels at being
continually drugged with coffee and
tea-they both contain the drug
caffeine. Ask your doctor.
An la. woman tells the old story
thus:
Il had used coffee for six years and
was troubled with headaches, nervous
ness and dizziness. In the morning
upon rising I used to belch up a sour
fluid regularly.
"Often | got sc nervous and miser-
able l would cry without the least rea-
son, and I noticed my eyesight was
getting poor.
AFTER using Postum a while, I OBJ
served the headaches left me and soon
the belching of sour fluid stopped (wa-
ter brash from dyspepsia). / feel de.
cidedly different now, and I am con
vinced that it is because I stopped
coffee and began to use Postum. lean
see better now, my eyes are stronger,

Postum but when I toldsher to make II
like it said On the package, she liked

"Trust-Busting' does not seem to

was not a proper person to have

which is supposed to be actively in

dergone a change Of heart and would
be found working as hard as anybody
to bring the trusts under the arm Of
the law" The report Of the sen

THE PROGRESS OF THE CANA.
DIAN WEST.
Nearly 100000 Of an Increase In Cana.
da's immigration in 1906.

The progress Of a new country can
not be better ascertained than by not
ing the increase of railroad mileage in
its transportation system, and, judged
by this standard, the Canadian West
leads all the countries in the world
during the current year. Thirty years
ago there was not n hundred miles
of railroad west of the Great Lakes,
and very little prospect of a trans
continental route for many years to
come, but by the end of 1885 the
Canadian Pacific Railway was within
measurable distance of completion,
and last year-twenty years later
over 5000 miles of railroad traversed
the provinces of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta.
In the past year the work Of rail
road construction has been vigorously
prosecuted, and by the end of 1906,
some 5000 miles of completed railroad
has been added, making a total of
fully 1000 miles in the three great
grain producing provinces of Canada.
Such an increase in the transportation
facilities of the country is bound to
make good times not only in the dis
tricts where the railroads are being
built, but throughout the entire west.
Allowing $4,000 annie for construc-
ton, the sum of 100000 900 will be
put in circulation, and this in itself
should cause good times to prevail in
a land where work is plentiful, wages
are high, and the cost of living is mod
crate.
But the building of new railroads
through Western Canada means a
greater benefit to the country than
merely the money put in circulation
by the cost of construction. Addition
al railway building means the opening
of new agricultural districts and an
additional area under crops; a largely
increased output of grain to foreign
markets with consequent financial re-
turns; the erection Of elevators and
the growth of villages, towns and cit
les; and everything else that makes
for the progress of national life, and
the opening up of additional thousands
of free homesteads, so extensively ad-
vertised by the Canadian government
agent, whose address appears else
where.
1t was stated On the floor Of the
Canadian Parliament recently by a
prominent representative that ten
years from now would see the bulk OF
the population of Canada residing
west of the Great Lakes, and if the
work of railway building during the
present year is any criterion, the
prophecy made by the Canadian states.
man may be easily fulfilled inside Of
the time stated. During the present
year no less than 1S9, 064 persons have
found homes in the Canadian west
of whom 57,796 were Americans wht
have seen the great possibilities o.
this new West, and have decided tc
cast in their lot with it. Certainly
our neighbor north of the 49th parable
is making a great record, and deserves
the success that appears to be coming
it's way.
