two miles in length. through their re- sisting bases.
 Through this five-chambered gate san Francisco will expand,
 As the day approaches when this cutoff will be christened by gusts of steam and inducted into the schedule to the shrieking cf whistles. what fol- lows? The answer is the most inter esting part of the story. Immediate ly nineteen towns-from san Francisco to San Jose-will feel the substantial advantage of seventeen minutes saved in coming to the city" and in return ing home. At Visitacion Point the hump yard" will begin operations. which means that the dispatching of the vast volume of freight shipped out of the metropolis will be greatly eX- pedited. On the day that the first train rolls southward through the tunnels an inviting area as large as that which it now occupies will be thrown open to san Francisco. and though the land may not be had as cheaply. this will be an event sur passing in importance all the open ing of Indian reservations to settle ment that the government has done in a decade.
 On the one hundred and forty acres of ground where was once Visitacion Bay the Southern Pacific will con struct. in addition to the hump yard, sifying. dispatching and storing freight complete facilities for receiving, clas~ Here will spring up great clearing house for the freight-its own stuffs and wares it receives from the orient which San Francisco sends all over the country. Locomotives will puff in and out of a forty-stall roundhouse. spreading over many acres will be the modernly equipped shops doing the re- pair work for the entire division. A thriving settlement will surround this scene where several hundred men will be employed.
 The pen with which the railroad eX- ecutive wrote ''Go ahead" upon the plans and estimates of the engineers who spied out the Bay Shore cutoff project should be placed in the Smith sonian Museum. The true magnitude of the undertaking will not be realized by the travelling public until it re- ceives a visual impression from the windows of trains flying over the new rails. In traversing ten miles of road the traveller will go through almost two miles of tunnels. with the surface of the ground hreehundred feet above his head; over two miles of trestles. with the surface of the water fifty feet below his soles: through a cut ninety-five feet deep. and under six streets supported above him on iron bridges.
 There is perhaps no other ten miles of railroad in California which cost as much to build. The Southern Pacific has eliminated f.S6 miles Of distance, several hundred degrees of curvature, heavy grades. and seventeen minutes in time at cost of several millions of dollars.
 As a time-save the Bay Shore cut off is in q class with the Ogden-Lucin cutoff across Great Salt Lake, with the Pennsylvania's new tunnels under

Questions of relative pay and all lowances of army and navy officers. common in America, are not unknown in other countries. The curious fact has come to light that. while French army officers have had their pay raised to meet growing prices. the pay of naval officers remains just where it was thirty years ago.

Systems That Draw from Circulation
Money That Should Be Kept Home.

That city, town or community from

of the people are sent elsewhere is
destined to go backward and take a
place in the rear of progressive COM
munities. 1t will never have the full
quota of wealth that rs due it, and
that it should. have. 1t is the profits,
the amounts that represent the sur.
plus above cost of production of prod.
ucts, and the earnings of the laborer
above his expenses Of living, and, the
legitimate profits of the merchantsiand
others in business that makes com.
munity wealthy. When these earnings
are diverted to foreign places their

ceiving the money acquire benefit

POOR GOODS, CHEAP PREMIUMS.
How Money Is Sometimes Squandered
in Patronizing Prize-Package
Concerns.

The economical housewife is a
blessing. She who viii! watch the
pennies and dimes can greatly assist
her husband in accumulatinS money
fer use during days Of adversity.
Quite often women through their anX-
iety to assist in saving, and not having
a training along business lines. make
foolish expenditures. How often do
We find women in the country towns
and districts engaged in buying soaps
spices, teas and coffees from some
club-order concern with a view of get
ting cheap premiums that are offer
ed with each lot of goods? There is
no economy in this method. Women
as we'll as men should remember that
there is never anything of value given
without an equitable compensation,
and when purchased on the club plan
the profits paid are generally enor-
nous. You cannot get something for
nothing. If you desire to purchase
$40 or $50 worth of groceries, the best
place to buy them is at some re.
your own town. You can see what
you are getting, and you know that the
goods must be good or you can re-
turn them. When you get premium
with lot of soaps or spices or ex-
tracts, you will find that while the
goods may appear all right, there is q
| great chance of fraud that you little
look for. The bars of soap will be
of light weight, poorly dried made OF
cheaper materials, and would be dear
at your home store at half the price
that you are compelled to pay for
them. The spices will be half ground
bark, and the extracts synthetic, never
made from fruit flavors, but out of the
dirty-looking coal-tar, by-product Of
gas-manufacturing, and even the teas
and coffees will be of the poorest kind
and doctored up to look well. Then
how about the premiums? You will
find that they, too, are of the cheapest
class, and could be purchased at the
local store for half what they are
represented to be worth. Women are
only doing their duty in trying to as
sist their husbands, but too often they
waste money by patronizing premium
and club concerns that operate from
distant cities in small towns and ru
raj communities.

RATIFIED FARMER
Shot at the Balloon as It Passed' Near
Chillicothe, o.

Chillicothe, O.-The Chandler-McCoy
balloon, which is making a test trip
from st. Louis to New York, created
great excitement in the southern part
of this county. The balloon passed
over Bonneville and headed toward
Waverly. The two occupants were
plainly visible at first, but the balloon
soon rose rapidly until they could not
be distinguished.
One farmer near Bonneville shot at.
the balloon. 1t is not known whether
he did any damage or not. He said he
didn't know what it was. The rural
ties in the southern part of the coun-
ty kept the phones busy asking eNpFa-
nations for the appearance of the bal
icon.
The trip of 42O miles to this county
was made in Is hours, the balloon
reaching here at 7:15 o'clock a. m!
