ROAD OPENS RICH
Gle ELUM LANDS
Railway to Serve as Link Between
Roslyn and Gle Elum-May Ex-
tend to North Yakima.

ELLENSBURG, Dec. 2S.-The Gle
Elnm city council tonight will grant
a franchise permitting the proposed
Gle Elum-Roslyn Electric railway TO
operate road through the streets of
the former city, according to state
ments made yesterday by men IN
touch with members of the council.
When the franchise is granted the
promoter of the road, Frank S. Far
quhar of Tacoma. will meet with no
further opposition. It is stated that
the county commissioners of Ki.sltas
and the city council of Roslyn will
grant the company's request as soon
as the opposition to the road in Gle
Elum is overcome.
Mr.. Farquhar. who is backed by
isttsburg capital. intends TO con-
struet railway from South Gle
Elum, the new town which is to be a
division point of the Chicago. Mil
waukee & St Paul road, then to Ros-
lyn and from there to point beyond
Gle Elum lake. The road will be
approximately - miles in length,
and, according to Mr.. Farquhar, it is
to be the nucleus of road which
will extend to Ellensburg and the
irrigated districts of the Kittitas val
ley. and perhaps to North Yakima.
The road will serve as connecting
ling between Roslyn and Gle Elum
and also open rich territory near Gle
Elum lake. Surrounding the lake
are great bodies of valuable standing
timber
Near Gle Elum lake there are also
large deposits of copper ore. The
new road also will make possible the
development of the picturesque ter
ritory around Lake Gle Elum as a
summer resort.

ORIGIN OF HARyARD's CRIMSON

President Eliot likes to tell of the origin of Harvard's crimson" In 1858 the first Harvard rowing shell was put on the water. Three men, of whom Alexander Agassiz was one, got to- gether and bought 1t.
 We had not paid for the boat said President Eliot when asked about this "and we depended on our first prize money to pay for it. Well, the day be- fore the race 1t appeared that there were to be thirteen or fourteen boats in the race and we said to each other How are our friends going to know us in the regatta? We had no uniform nothing at all to distinguish us. We had rowed in our various undercothes up to that time,
 So Ben Crowninshield and 1 went down to Hovcy's and bought six red handker2hiefs just about that color (picking Up d flower from the table) and we tied those handkerchiefs around our heads, and that, gentlemen, is the cllelu pI tlle lldINdIq Teu. Here IS lle kind of silk handkerchief that was worn few years later (showing q fandkerchlef). It was not the right color. The trouble was that magenta came in and the Harvard color was magenta for few years; but that handkerchief is a poor anilne dye This (showing an Amercan Beauty rose of a very dark red hue) was the real color.

AVERAGE LENGTH OF LIFE.

The man who lives until he is a century old and the child who dies in infancy are alike included in the law of averages. They balance each others chances, as 1t were
 Of 100000 people living at the age of ten, only 95,641 will live to the age of twenty-one, only 82,2S4 will be liv- ing at forty, only 49 will be living at ninety-six, and only nine at ninety seven At thirty the average man may take 1t that he has under thirty five years to llve at forty, under twenty-eight years, at fifty, under twenty-on one years at sixty under fourteen years
