New York, July 15.-- The
cost of the Pacific coast extern
sion OF the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul railroad, which it is
expected will be open for traf-
| fic on July 1909, will be
about $4,000, % more than the
company orie Tally reckoned
on, it was sal. ,sterday by an
officer of the nad. This addi-
tional cost is due to the Geci-
sion to run the road to a lower
grade over the mountain civil
sion than was at first planned.
The total cost Ct the project is
now put at S77,000.00O, but as
S100,000,0O0 of preferred and
common stock has been issued
to provide a balance for future
contingencies there will be no
shortage of funds, notwith-
standing the increased cost.
The Pacific coast extension
of the st. Paul was begun about
two years ago. 1t is 1880
miles long and continues the
road from the former western
terminus in North Dakota to-
Seattle and Tacoma on the Pa
cilin coast.
Iowa Judgeship in Doubt
Des Moines, July Is One of

,slble appointment Governor

! vacancy on the supreme bench
. is Colonel Charles A. Clark OF
&c lar Rapids. He is an old
: soldier, having won the title of
"Colonel' in the civil war: is
9 one of the best lawyers there
lis in the state of Iowa and
thoroughly qualified for the
position. He has practiced law
in Iowa continuously since 1866
following the war, when he
3 came to Iowa and located at
Webster City. He remained
:. there for ten years and then
removed to Cedar Rapids,
where he has lived ever since
and practiced law.
Colonel Clark is not a can
didate for the position and the
: biggest question is whether he
1 could be. induced to accept the
] position. He is 81 years old
and the custom on the United
States supreme bench is to re.
! tire at about the age of 70 OF
} soon after. Judge Bishop
would have served till Decem.
Der 81, 1910, and it is thought
that possibly Colonel Clark
would consent to serve for that
length of time even if he did
not later ask for a full term d
e six years even though he is 81
years old. His birthday is ii
!. January and at tho close Of the
: uneXpircd term he would be II

The charm of Mrs. Ruth McEnery
Stuart's negro dialect stories was
greatly enhanced when she read them
herself, as she used frequently to do
in the early days of her fame, for
charity and church entertainments.
Her imitation of the negro dialect was
excellent. and her small son, who was
very fond of her accomplishment in
this line. frequently boasted OF it
among the other children. Once, when
some of his schoolmates were vaunt-

All fashionable skirts are narrow.
Many are circular. others gored: but
