Extensive Railroad,

The most expensive railroad con.

to be the Spokane, Portland & Seattle,
423 miles long, built jointly by the
Great Northern and the Northern Pa
cific.
The heaviest grade is less than half
of one per cent. and the sharpest
curve Is three degrees. AS a result
one locomotive can pull from Spokane
to Portland as many cars as it can
start on level ground. This is expect,

$5,OO0,000 bonds for State roads,
this being in addition to an annual

ment. that ''in union there is
strength" is the basis upon which
the modern department store is
builded Each department in it helps
cut the other and the joint cost of
operation is less than though each
was operated by itself. This econ
cmic advantage is reflected in the
Price and so comes to be of advantage
to the buying public.
A fine example of this is to be
noted in the establishment of w. G.

quarters at 125-129 South Ninth street
Here, upon their large floors are dis.
played all the goods that go to stocl
a well arranged and progressive de-
rartment dry goods store, which
means that about everything a person
wants is to be found here, whether
il be for personal adornment or OF
service in the home. Prices are al
ways right, just a little bit lower
than the other fellow, and the quality
of the goods are guaranteed. Polite
clerks are everywhere to serve the
needs of the customers. This con
Germ keeps on hand a fresh supply
of country butter and eggs, and our
members will find this an ideal place
at which to do their trading. as it

chases all in one place, and at the
same time have every assurance that

Asks Pardon for Younger.

Absolute pardon for Cole Younger,
one of the famous Kansas bandits, is
requested in letter to Governor
Johnson from James A. Reed, former
mayor of Kansas City He says the
former bandit is now promoting SUI
burban railway scheme and is handi-
capped by the fact that his Mime
sofa parole granted several years ago
carries conditions.
Reed recites that the bank of North
field, Mimi, for which crime several
of the Younger boys were sent to the
penitentiary, grew out of conditions
created by the Civil war; that Young
er has been good citizen and claims
that he has observed the conditions
of his pardon.
The Younger boys were formerly
identified with Jesse and Frank James.
Cole Younger and his brother, Jim,
now dead, were released from the
state prison on parole in 1901, but
the parole forced them to live in Min
nesota. After Jim committed suicide
the state board of pardons allowed
Cole to go on conditions that he never
engage in any public performance to
exploit his past misdeeds Though he
is held to have broken that promise
the pardon is not revoked, and there
is no way Minnesota can force him to
return.
