cry Then its farmers and merchants
held a meeting. "Joe" Doyle, the
editor, and a few others passed
around the hat and in a remarkably
short time 100000 was pledged to
carry out the enterprise.
But there were a lot of doubtful
souls who wouldn't agree to anything
till they saw the steam cars-they
had been disappointed so often.
These said they would put up when
the engine whistled for Shelbyville,

Seven thousand five hundred dollars
was pledged in this way. in amounts
ranging from $5 to 5000.

children crowded through mud and
water to inspect it. The unexpected
arrival of a French airship, and its
settling down amid the roar OF Broad

more interest and excitement.

Electric Railway TO Be Extended
From North Yakima.
The Yakima Republic says Of the
extension Of the Yakima interurban
electric line to Sunnyside:
The board of directors of the Yaki-
ma Inter-valley Electric company
announced yesterday at meeting Of
the directors that the electric line
proposed by that company will not
only be built to Granger but will ex-
tend to Sunnyside. About half their
right of way has been secured and
the directors feel confident Of their
success in securing the remaining por-
ton. Construction work will begin
Immediately after all the right Of
way is secured.
Grades VIII Be Heavy.
The line will be built with a maxi
mum grade of / per cent Three
fourths of the line will have grade
of not more than half that amount.
The right of way is being secured as
much as possible away from the
IOuus
Easy curves are being planned so
that when the line is completed 1t can
be used as a trunk line on which
trains may be run at so miles an
hour.
Engineer T. A. Noble says the line
will compare, as far as the grade is
concerned, with that of the Northern
Pacific through the Yakima valley.
The maximum grade will be less than
the grade of the Northern Pacific
through the canyon north OF North
Yakima.
A good part of the capital has al
ready been subscribed and negotia-
tons are pending relative TO the bal
ance OF the needed funds for the COM
pletion of the line.

WOOL Is COMING IN.
Sheep shearing Now at High Tide in
Yakima County.

Wagon loads of wool have Joined
in the procession of wagon loads Of
everything else which coma into
North Yakima from the Mckee coun-
try daily, says the Yakima Republic.
Alex Taylor has some 5000 sheep out
in the Kittitas canyon and a power
shearing outfit at work there by
which he is taking the fleeces from
the individual members of the band.
Wool buyers have begun to put In
an appearance and as usual are most
pessimistic. According to their tale
Of woe there will be no market for
will this year and it will not be long
before the sheepmen will be down and
out, some grubbing sagebrush and the
others taking in washing. 1t was the
same last year and the year before.
North Yakima sheepmen think diff
ferently. They are pretty certain
that there will be market big enough
to be seen with the naked eye and
that the wool offered will be of an
excellent quality because OF the ex-
cellent character of the season just
passed and the consequent superior
condition of the bands.
Rain Needed I'm Valley.
Shearing has been in progress in
the lower valley for some time and
will be begun north of this city with
in the next two weeks or so. 1t is
now lambing time with the sheep fur
ther up the valley and the reports
brought in are altogether pleasing to
the owners.
Some uneasiness has been caused
for those owners who have sheep at
or near the Kennewick country be-
cause of the long continued dry pc
riod. There has been a plentiful
lack of rain this season in the lower
valley and those sheepmen with
lambs in that country have watched
the weather reports with interest,
However, the food supply both for
mothers and lambs has been adequate
and no hardship has so far resulted.

CHRISTMAS CAKES.

CAUGHT A SEA BAT.
Strange Fish Taken In Seine Off North
Carolina Coast

One of the rarest specimens of the
fish kingdom known to waters contiguous
to the North Carolina coast was can.
tured III u seine at Masonboro sound by
William Hewlett, a fisherman, says the
Wilmington Dispatch The fish, which
was brought to the city, is what is called
the sea bat" and it is a perfect repro
duction of leather wing bat on a large
scale. The fish is about fifteen inches
long and about thirty inches across the
back.
Strange to state, it had thin. thread
like tail about fifteen inches in length.
and on each side of the rear appendage
were two perfectly formed gloved feet
with smaller dimension having the ex-
act appearance of Il thumb, with the
other part of the hand mittened The
mouth of the strange specimen was about
five inches across, and on each side of
the mouth or the under side Of the body
there were FIVE "strainers," or holes.
through which the fish . said to rid IL
self of refuse products resulting from
the forage it picks NJ at the bottom Of
the sea. The TOP of the fish was n dark
slate color and the under part of the
body was white.
One old negro fisherman more than
seventy years old declared that this was
only the second specimen of the sea bat
he had ever seen in his long experience
as fisherman. The specimen, which had
truly uncanny appearance, will prob
ably he sent to the state museum al Ra-
leigh.

QUEER TELEGRAPH POLES.

The most original telegraph line in the

In this part Of Bolivia there are no

furniture Of the natives is invariably
made not Of wood but Of dried mud or

So when the war broke out between
Chile and Bolivia and "A telegraph line
became urgent 1t was adobe that was
chosen for the queerest telegraph poles
in existence These pillars were built on
stone foundations and measured about
five feet square at the base, with a
height Of about fifteen feet

common American canned variety. But
to give them the delicate French taste
you must put about a teaspoonful of
sugar with them while they are cooking

usual amount of salt. pepper and butter.
Don't make the mistake of using too
much sugar, thOugh-a level spoonful to
a can of peas is sufficient. 4 rathe.-
