WILL TAKE OVER
MAPLE LEAF ROAD
Canadian Pacific Said to Have
Secured Option on the Great
Western.
TRANSFER MAY Be DELAYED

st. Paul, Sept. 22.-That the Chica,
60 Great Western Railroad company,
together with all its terminal faclli.
Ties, rolling stock and motive power
equipment. will soon become the sole
property of and a subsidiary line to
the vast system Of the Canadian Pa
cifc Railroad company was the report
circulating in local railroad headouar.
ters Saturday.
The TACT that gives this report more
weight than an ordinary rumor is the
statement made by one of the officials
to the effect that during the visit OF
President T. G. Shaughnessy of -he
Canadian Pacific in St. Paul on
Thursday of last week an unlimit ID
option on the Chicago Great Western
was obtained by President Shaueh-
messy and Horace G. Burt from the
receivers of the Chicago Great West
ern road. Further, it is stated that
owing to the labor troubles which the
Canadian system is having it was i'm
possible for that system to take over
the Chicago Great Western at the
present time, and for that reason the
option was obtained from the receiv-
erS.
A Strategic Move.
Such a step by the Canadian road
will mean one of the greatest merger
moves of modern railroading. It will
be the means of giving the great
wheat fields which are being develop
ed in the Canadian Northwest an out
let in the states which will be second
to none. 1t will place the Canadian
Pacific entirely in a class by itself. it
will be fully equipped with terminal
facilities in three of the largest cities
in the Middle West and place it in a
position so that the entire contem-
plated system may be operated with
out regard to the parallel compel
tive line objection, which caused the
dissolution of the Northern Securities
company.
All Will Be Changed.
The Canadian Pacific for several
years has had traffic relations with
roads running out of canada. In fact
the 500 line, which has always been
known as an offshoot of the Canadi-
an Pacific, has been able to give that
iranscontinental line an outlet into
the states as far as st. Paul and
thence east across the State of Wis
consin to Sault Ste. Marie.
But now all will be changed. For
once in the history of the English
line American competition will be met
and the laws and interstate commerce
rules and regulations of the United
States will have to be obeyed.

ment at the Osborn school house Fri day night, was listened to by a large and appreciative audience of Phoenix and Osborn district people. The stage was handsomely decorated with pep per boughs and roses and the entire upper floor of the large schoolhouse was made available for the entertain ment b- removing the curtains divid- ing the two upstairs rooms.
 The program in charge of Clyde Evans, was rendered as printed in of selections by the Presbyterian or chestra. Master Jonathan Michaels made hit with his Little Boy Blue. The little fellow had prepared for two encores and whether he was confused by so many eyes being fixed upon him intently, or knew by intuition that he would not be excused until his audi ence had heard all he had to say, is not knewn. but he recited all three selections before leaving the stage, and was applauded pro rata.
 Money Musk and other selections. by Miss Amy Louise White so pleased her hearers that she was called to the stage the third time. Master Jona- than did not think things were pro- gressing in proper order, and cried out. Why. she's the same girl" and traces of amusement were plainly mo- ticeable in Miss Whites countenance as she faced an audience roaring with laughter. which was shortly repeated

 Calcium Sulphide Waters.

 Any man or woman gets awfully tired going around with a pimply face day after day. And other people get awfully tired. too. seeing them go pimples.
 If you are one of the unfortunates who can't get away from your pim- ples, and you have tried almost every thing under heaven to get rid of them, take a few of Stuarts Calcium Waters every day. Do that steadily for a few days, and in less than a week look at yourself in the mirror.
 You will then say that Stuarts Cal cium Waters are wonder in getting rid of skin eruDtions.

 By George. I never saw anything like it. There I've been for three years trying to get rid of pimples and black heads. and guess I used everything under the sun. I used your Calcium Waters for just seven days. This morning every blessed pimple Is gone and l can't find blackhead. I could write you a volume of thanks. I am so grateful to you"

sition which. to him. is akin to the
 cats of Staffordshire.' If he doesn't understand what you are talking about he assumes that you don't under stand 1t yourself. He finds dusty yoads menace only when it is brought home to him that they cost him mon- ey. That was demonstrated to the orange growers of California a few years ago when dust recovered fruit no longer commanded so high a price as when, free from dust. The result was an aroused interest in road improve men1 and in dust suppression. Ap- peals on the score of cleanliness and good health never stirred the Calif- ornians. but slump in the price of oranges brought about a wonderful era of activity. The outcome was gratify- ing and California soon had dustless oiled roads. In that state the oils pos sess higher asphaltum base than the oils of any other section of the world. and when they are spread on the reads the volatile portion of the oil evaporates and the asphaltum remains as a binder.
 'The almost immediate success of this plan attracted the attention of highway engineers throughout the world. In France and some of our Eastern States it was at once assumed that oiling was the best road treatment and that the longed-for solution of the dust nuisance problem had been found.
 This has not been proved to be the case, because in many localities the only oil available possesses d petro leum rather than an asphaltum base. It has been found that when the vola- tile portion evaporates the oil left be- hind becomes greasy and similar in consistency to vaseline. Such quality of oil does not adhere and bind the road. but is picked up and scattered by passing traffic, and the man who gets a reasonable quantity of it on his' clothes becomes firm enemy to road oiling
 If then. as doctors say, dust means dirt; dirt means disease, and disease means death. dusty roads have no place in our national economies"
 When a fair percentage of the thinking men and women of the coun- try grasp those truths thus interest ingly voiced by Dr. Cushman, a de- termined effort will be made to secure clean and Justices roads.
