A Marvellous Electric Railroad

A Marvellous Electric Railroad
Genoa and Milan, Itlay, are
to be connected by a marvellous
electric railroad eighty-fve miles
in length, which is to cost $47,-
600, 000," says Popular Electricity
New York;. "The excessive
cost of it is owing to the nature
of the country through which the
line will pass. 1t will require
nineteen tunnels, one of which
will be twelve miles long. There
will be 372 bridges and the
road will be six, years in the
course of construction. The cost
of the line construction alone
will be $500,000 per mile. The
line will be double-tracked and
there will be no grade-crossings.
Trains will consist of three cars,
elch accommodating fifty passen-
gers. 1t is proposed to run
twenty trains a day, and
it is estimated that the daily
traffic will be 5000 passengers.
A very complete schedule has
been arranged to take care of the
express and local traffic. as we'll
as the freight of that section of
the country. The power will be
derived from a "a, 0O0-horse-pow-
er hydraulic generating-pl ant. "

consists of 80 acres.
The doors OF the White Salmon
school house have been changed to
swing outward. The change was made
by two men In less than half day
and the cost was less than 81. There
are few other places In town where
such changes should be made.
II. Peyrollaz has sold to DR.. Gear.
! hart six acres Of the old Swan place,

unimproved and was sold for Sl25 per

1t is claimed that there are few vic
Tins OF this dread and torturous disease
who will fail to find ready relief in this
simple homemade mixture, and in
most cases a permanent cure.is the re-
suit.
This simple recipe is said to strength
en- and cleanse the eliminating tissues
of the Kidneys, so that they can filter
and strain from the blood and system
the poisons, acids and waste matter,
which cause not only Rheumatism, but
numerous other diseases. Every man
or woman here who feels that their
kidneys are not healthy and active, or
WHO suffers from any urinary trouble
whatever, should not hesitate to make
up this mixture, as it is certain to do
much good, and may save you from
much misery and suffering after while.
