dar pads now on sale at this off. /

In connecting the Northern
Pacific with the Pittsburg &
Gilmore railroad at present en-
gagged in active construction
work between Armstead and
Salmon City on the theory that
this road, when completed will
become the main line of the
| Northern Pacific and by so doing
10 hours will be saved over the
schedule of all other lines be-
tween Chicago and the coast, a
new version is thrown on the
new Idaho steam road, which is
becoming a mystery every day.
The shadow of Jim Hill is cast
over central Idaho by the use of
the name of the Northern Paci-
fic. The latest light thrown on
the new road comes from Mon
tana, where railroad men claim
that the Twin Bridges branch OF
the Northern Pacific in that
\ state will be a part of the new
main line of the road, connect
ing with the Pittsburg & Gil
} more, giving the Northern Paci
. tic the lowest grade and most di
rect line to the Pacific coast.

Tour of the World.

A good number of tourists partici-
pated in the tour of the world last
Friday night, and the ticket agent
did a thriving business, though he
might have attended to more 1t other
attractions had not tempted the pub
lie. The tour, as laid out by the
committee of the Ladies' Social I'M
ion, embraced the countries of Italy
and Japan, the city of Paris, the
North Pole and the capital at Wash
ington, and one fifty cent ticket paid
the round trip with all the attrac-
tions including refreshments. Each
party of tourists was In charge OF
competent conductor who took good
care of his passengers. The tour was
made, by nearly every party on loot
and was made of four trains, and the
Tn kan Special, the latter composed
of those who were later to be guests
at the house party OF Mr.. ana MIS-.
F. S. Tinkham. The North Pole, To-
Gated at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. H. Newland was the hrst
point of interest, and while the at
fractions were frosty, the welcome
was quite the opposite. Peary and
Cook were both there, and for the
time being seemed to have declared
| truce. i lie OtuSL Oie'A S"So'
were we'll gotten up and pleased the
tourists exceedingly. 1t is a long
trip from the North Pole to sunny
Italy but our tourists accomplished
the Journey and arrived safely at e..
A. Ramsdell's where they inspected
the art gallery, listened to Italian mu-
sic and songs, dropped penny into
the tin cup of the hand organ man
and partook of spaghetti, leaving by
the Switzerland limited for Paris, at
the residence of Mrs. G. H. Flint.
Here amid beautiful flowers was illus
trated the Bohemian life of the French
capital, and any tourist, who spoke
the "French'' was in luck indeed.
The French Court" was much IN evil
dence and all the creations of Worth
were displayed. In far Japan, at u.
L. MacdiarmiG the guests were en-
tertained in truly Oriental style.
The house was lighted by japanese
lanterns and peopled with almono
eyed girls, who "kotoed' and danced
to their hearts content. AS fitting
climax to the trip the party visited
the capitol at Washington, Schoo
house hall, where they were received
by George and Martha Washington
and where the inhabitants of the sew
eral countries visited marched In cos
tune to good music. The unique en-
tertainment proved a success in ever.

| fected great credit on all who hat
