Last Week B1zzards This Week Snow
SEdSs and Washouas

Just one week ago yesterday the
seyerest cod weather this country has
known for yearg, broke. Every day
since i has been getting gradually
warmer. EYery DAY and night since It
has either snowed Or rained, With very
odef interyals Of sun shine. Between
this point and Spokane II has rained
mare Or less, and several serious wash
outs have occurred. On the vest, in
the Cascades, it has showed and rained
every alternate six hours, with the
result that there have been snow slides
d immense proportions in the canyon.
Trains have been from FIVE 70 SIX hours
behind the schedule, and on several
occasions abandoned altogether.
Wednesday night and Thursday no
trains in either direction. As this
moral reforner vent to press last night
at ten O'Clock no, wheel in either
direction had turned for nearly thirty
SIX hours.
Just hon long this state Of affairs
continued ne will have TO defer telling
our readers until next week. Trouble
for the railroads seems 10 be- coming
in punches, Of which the travelling
public is also getting its share.
As for ourselves, We take refuge in
the reflection that il might be worse.
For instance, if we we're in Messina.

The Polmatier Sisters are without
doubt the most unique and brilliant
musical organization in the world, and

esSary in the construction of lines
The monorail gar can negotiate curves
which are impossible under the pres
ent system. Mr.. Brennan's model car
climbed grades beyond the recognized
limit of traction engines of both the
locomotive and electric types. Thus
in the construction of the monorail the
permanent way is comparatively mex
pensive. 1t is claimed by the. inventor
that lines of this type can be run
through country where now railroad
ing is virtually impossible by reason
of the natural Obstacles and the i'm
menSe eXpanSe of overcoming them.
SO great an advantage would this be
in such countries as upper India. where
railroad construction is attended with
the gravest difficulties, that the Bri-
fish government is anxiously awaiting
the perfection of the device for its in
stallment in the more remote sections

ONE WAY TO PAY DEBTS.

The ethics Of some foreign noblem ell
with regard to the ways and means OF
satisfying their creditors are widely at
variance with the accepted procedure
of honorable Americans. The Duke Of
Chaulnes married a wealthy American
girl, and upon their arrival in Paris
they found themselves besieged by the
clamorous multitude of money-lenders
Word had gone forth that the bride
was wealthy, and the hint to the usur-
ers and land sharks was sufficient to
make the honeymoon painful exper-
fence of lodging the servers of war
rants and writs of attachment. 1t now
appears that the new American Prin
cess of Braganza is having a similar
disconcerting experience. The Portu-
guese pretender had borrowed enor-
nous sums of money at usury and his
creditors have decided that with the
arrival of his rich American bride
in Austria the eagerly awaited day Of
reckoning has come for themselves.
The princely incognito is of no avail.

These statements may be regarded
as practically, if not absolutely, true.
