Second to financial matters, moth

than the progress of the campaign
against John Barleycorn.
The passage ola state prohibi-
ton law in Alabama this week is a
notable event. On that subject the
Macon Telegraph says:
"The wave of prohibition now
sweeping over this land has gather
ed much of it's momentum and
force from the vast body of women
composing the w. G. 7. U.
"When the National Union was
organized at Cleveland, Ohio, in
1874, there were only $500, 900
people residing in dry territory
and the number now is 5000, 900,
or considerably more than one
third of the total population OF the
United States. The increase has
averaged not much under 1, 900, 900
per annum, for the the thirty
three years since the organization
of the Union. On January LIST there
will be five prohibition states, viz,
Maine, Vermont, Kansas, Georgia
and Oklahoma Restrictive local
option statutes exist in thirty-four
states and in many states liquor is
sold in but few counties.
"The National w. G. T. U. has
an organization in every state.

The Baptist convention is prob
ably the largest religious body in
the State, that denomination
claiming more members in Geor-
gia than any other body. 1t is
difficult to get the exact figures in
regard to the membership, as there
are several associations in the
state convention that do not send
messengers to that body's meet
ings.
The white Missionary Baptists
of Georgia numbered last year, ex-
elusive of the several associations

for this was that the squirrels had
all begun TO hibernate, and, conse-
quently, it was impossible for us to
obtain material to work with. But
since that time. by passing the virus
through guinea pigs every week or
two, We have been able to keep the
virus very active, and we are expect
ing, as soon as tn squirrels appear,
to rapidly pass the virus through the
squirrels, and thus get the bactemium

take it into the field and inoculate

The man who will speak in We

most flattering notices, and there is
no doubt but that the people who

MILLIONS FOR
ELECTRIC RAILWAYS
Tacoma Report Says Extensive Rail-
way Propositions Planned for
the State.

Among the most extensive railway
propositions ever planned for con-
struction in a single state is the plan
of eastern capitalists to build net
work of lines in Washington which
will represent an investment of about
$40, 900 900, as outlined by P. p.
Carol, states report from Tacoma.
The plan includes the construction
of scores of water and power plants
in towns between Tacoma and Spo-
kane, supplying the towns with wat
er and light and the electric railways
with power.
1t includes the completion of the
proposed Puyallup Valley Northern
Rapid Transit railway at cost of
$500, 900.
Also the completion of the Snoho-
mish Valley railroad, upon which
construction work has already COM
menced. This line will cost $4,000
600.
Electric Line to Spokane.
A third electric line incorporated
in these plans is the Seattle, Chelan
& Spokane railway. A company was
recently chartered for the purpose of
constructing this electric line. It's
cost as planned is s7,500,000.
Tacoma, it is announced will be
the principal terminal point of all
Of these connecting lines.
P. p. Carroll, a Seattle attorney,
states that the same men who have
authorized him to propose the build
ing of water and power plants in Ia
coma, and who have $5,500,000 to in
vest in this city, are the men who are
promoting these street railway enter
prises.
They have several million of dol
lars to put into the plan, according
to Mr.. Carrolls statement. They have
not, however, the $4,000, 900 needed
to carry out the gigantic undertake
ing. They want to get light and
power plants running in Tacoma as
soon as possible, and with this as a
substantial working basis, they will
float bonds for their electric railway
enterprises.
The Puyallup Valley Northern
Rapid Transit company has been in
corpOrated for nearly two years.
Fred Chamberlain of Puyallup is it's
president and John Mills is prom
inent promoter of the line.
Construction deal Closed.
A few months ago the incorpora
tors of this railway closed deal with
an eastern firm of contractors where
by their electric line will be built in
exchange for s2,500.0OO worth of
stock in the enterprise. Under the
present plan it is understood that
when these independent lines are con-
solidated this s2,500.000 in stock
will be transferred to the consolidat-
ed company and like amount of the
big concerns stock issued to the rail-
way builders.
The Puyallup valley line will ex-
tend from Tacoma to Puyallup,
Sumner, Renton and other towns. II
will traverse the valley between Ia
coma and Renton. but will be con-
structed alongthe foothills, on an ele-
walton high enough to remove the
line from the flood district.
At Renton the line connects with
the Snohomish Valley railroad. which
line runs through Cherry valley to
Snohomish and north to Bellingham.
The line passes through Monroe. It

of the Puyallup Valley railway, and
construction work on the line is now
in progress.
Charter for Spokane Line.
From Seattle, through ltenton and
east TO Spokane the Seattle, Chelan
& Spokane railway will be construct
ed. The application for a charter for
this line was fled a few weeks ago,
and but little has been published con-
corning the plans of the promoter
of the railway. This, however, is Il
sister proposition to the Puyallup ana
Snohomish.
The same men who are backing all
these enterprises have decided they
can build and profitably operate the
lines in connection with numerous
water power plants to be operated
by water power, it is said. The plants
will be located at towns along the
lines of the railway, and will furnish
power for commercial and municipal
uses as well as for the operation of
