After No. 14S, the Yosemite
Limited, pulled out, the girl at
the Ruralita station went back to
her lonely midnight vigil. There
had been heavy receipts during
the latter part of the day.. and
stuff of much worth had come in
on 148. She slipped the money
into the fllimsy office safe, and al
the same time she took from the
drawer something bright, sinister
and cleaning. She laid this up
on the telegraph table and covered
1t with her handkerchief. Then
she waited, yearning for the rose
ltints of the dawn.
When Putney stepped into the
outer office, stamping and pound
ing the packed snow from his
feet, the girl almost screamed.
She seldom had visitors after 148
went by-and this was no night
for starting the precedent. She
slipped her hand beneath the

and grasped the tiny weapon.
When Putney looked through the
grating at her she was too ner-

Great Disasters of
Wear Just Passed

In the United States the chief
disasters Of the year were the
great forest fires of the North and
the storms and floods of the
South.
The forest fires, which ravaged
large areas in nearly all the
states between New York and
Minnesota, proved especially de-
structive because of the drought.
In the state of Michigan alone the
loss was estimated at 100000
900. Entire towns were wiped
out in the Northwest. Fires in
Canada destroyed great quaint
ty of valuable timber and the
town of Fernie, and cost the lives
of hundreds who could not escape.
The total loss in American tim
Der Is estimated at $S5,0O0,000.
Disastrous Floods.
Disastrous floods visited Geor-
gia and the Carolinas late in Au-
gust, working special havoc in
Augusta and bringing ruin to
thousands of acres of cotton. 9th

Washington. Oct. 13.-Congress-
man ]. Hampton Moore of Pennsyl-
vania, who, by the way, is civil en-
gineer of repute, has examined the
Columbia river, the Missouri and the
waterway projects in the south dur
ing the last summer and returns to
Washington to express some intelli-
gent views on the needs of the cOun-
try. He speaks for a comprehensive
system of development, including the
entire continent, and says. basing his
observations on extensive travel in
Europe and study of waterway devel-
opment there:
I'VE are just awakening in this
country to the Importance of deepen
ing cur waterways and improving our
harbors. There are fully $4,000 miles
of navigable streams in the United
States, half of which are not suffii-
GENTLY improved to be of any ma
terial benefit to commerce. Thus far
congress has provided for improve
ments largely according to the insis-
tence of various localities. One river
has received much attention and an
other river has received little. What
we really need in the United States
is a comprehensive system by which
waterways may be developed so that
depths and widths may be standardiz-
ed for ships and barges. The con-
gressional commission which is now
touring Europe will probably bring

back some ideas with regard to this
Lethargy ON Atlantic Coast.

Lethargy on Atlantic Coast.
An instance Of the manner in
which the people have been lulled to
sleep is displayed along the Atlantic
coast. Canals have been closed up,
which, prior to the advent OF the
railroads. were the chief means of
transportation. Today the manufac-
turers of New England and of many
Of the middle and southern states are
simply unable, because OF the heavy
pressure upon the railroads, to obtain
prompt service in the delivery of
freight. New England is practically
bottled up and to large extent is
handicapped, both in the shipment of
freight and in the transportation uf
passengers in rush times. because of
the dependence upon one railroad
company.
This is not wholly a New England
condition, however, for the traveller
through the great northwest during
the period of the Seattle exposition
must have observed that the railroads
were simply overcrowded and that the
population of the country is increas-
ing more rapidly than the power of
the railroad managers to obtain new
capital to build new roads.
For some reason or other, there
is strong opposition in Washington to
the opening up of the waterways as
competitive means of communication.
How long this opposition will be able
to thwart the popular will remains to
be seen. Congressman are beginning
to realize that the people demand ia
cilities for the shipment of commodi-
ties and that they want better and
cheaper transportation.
