NORTHWESTERN'S
NEW TRAIN
Five Daily TranscontinentaI
Trains Required to Handle
Big Passenger Traffic.

The latest announcement of in.
creased passenger service to western
points is made today by the Chicago
q Northwestern Ry. A new train, to
be known as the "Oregon- Washing
ton Limited will be placed in SER
vice August %, leaving Chicago 1T
1l:30, a. No., daily arriving Portland
$50, the third morning and landing
passengers in Tacoma and Seattle the
same afternoon.
The new train will have an equip
ment that includes Pullman drawing
room, sleeping cars, Pullman tourist
sleeping cars, Pullman private COM
partment and observation sleeping
cars, and free reclining chair cars
All of this equipment is handled
between Chicago and Port laid with
out change. These trains have la
carte dining car service of the highest
character.
This is in addition to the present
service via the electric-lighted Chica-
go-Portland Special, and gives to the
public the choice of two through
to the North Pacific Coast, each of
which is operated on three day
schedule via the Chicago, Union
Pacific & North Western Line.
The increased popularity of the
Chicago, Union Pacific and North
western Line to Salt Lake City, the
Yellowstone Park, Portland and the
Puget Sound country, may be attri-
buted TO two principal reasons; one is
that oy this route some of the most
remarkable commercial and agricul-
tural development that the West can
boast Of is to be seen, together with d
magnificent group of scenic attract
ions which reach their CLIMAX on the
200 mile trip which these trains make
along the banks of the Colum bia
River from Umatilla to Portland
The other chief reason for the heavy

Anniston, March 6-(Speeial)-1t is highly probable that Anniston will have another female college when the call to books is issued next fall. The fact is that it is almost a certainty that such an institution will be established if the proper arrangements can be made and negotiations for the Anniston Inn are now under way.
 One of the leading educators of the south is in the city for the purpose of making the preliminary arrangements. Should he be successful he will establish one of the finest colleges for young ladies in the south. The building will be renovated and placed in first-class condition for the purpose. The curricu- lum of the school will be high and no pains will be spared to make it one of the foremost institutions of it's kind in this section.

writer's to Nord.
One writer pleaded with the man
to sell his office furniture in Buffalo

other letter read: 1--WE will be happy
when we are married, but, Charles, If
you expect to keep my confidence,
you must square yourself in regard to
that check" The same writer in an
other letter said: II just received a
notice from the First National bank
saying that the note for $1,000 was
due April 10 and must be paid"
Still another writer says: "Fortu-
nately, dear boy, I have the loan at
hand that you ask. Of course you
hate to ask me for it, but I am only
too glad to do you the favor" -1s
