Some Of the Oddities Found In the
English Language.

language made up Of SO many het-
erogeneous elements as is our own
should abound in curiosities not to
be found in language whose devel-
opment was little influenced by out
side sources or in a scientifically
constructed tongue like Esperanto
or Volapuk. Certain it is that
knowledge of these curiosities
brings with it something Of fasci-
nation and serves to endear to us
our curious old language.
Noticeable is the fact that words
which rhyme perfectly may have
altogether different Examinations,
as the words "gneiss'' and "mice,"
and that words which terminate
similarly not infrequcntly fail to
rhyme, as in the case of tfbrides''
and "cantharides."
In suspicion" "remission" and
"contrition' we have three words
in which the final "ion" is preceded
in each case by different con-
sonant, but as the ct" and &C" both
take the sound of IS" these words
all rhyme perfectly. Further in
vestigation reveals the interesting
fact that, whereas there is a great
variety of words ending in "tion"
and 'fsion," only five bear the termi-
nation "cion.' These five are
'scion,' "coercion," Suspicion"
"epinicion" and F'internecion." "Ep-
inicion," meaning song of victory,
and "internecion,' meaning slaugh-
ter, are not in common use, but the
other three words are familiar to
all. 1t is perhaps worthy of re-
mark that of words bearing the
phonctically similar ending "tion"
there are over 100 examples.
The termination "dous'' is, how
ever, even more exclusive than
"cion," as it is borne by just four
English words. These are ''stupcn-
dous," tremendous" ''hazardous"
and "horrcndous." Curiously, all
the words in this latter group are
adjectivcs, while the former group
is composed entirely of nouns.
1t seems somewhat strange to
speak of beheading a word Of one
syllable and leaving word of two
syllables, but there are several
monosyllables that admit of this
possibility. If we behcad either
'tcagcd," ragged" or "waged," used
as monosyllablcs, we have the word
Gagged" which, when used as an adj
jective, is pronounced with two syl-
tables. Staged" twice beheadcd,
leaves the same result. Better yet,
behead vague" or "Hague" or
twice behead plague" and we have
"ague," which admits of only BIZ
syllable pronunciation. Likewise
''shrugged' twice bcheaded leaves
the different word rugged"
There are over 1900 words in
our language ending with the long
'e'' sound, such as t'tree," etc. But
even this remarkable showing is
eclipsed by words ending in cess, )"
as there are 1,400 of these.
From the citation of these two
cases it might he inferred that the
poet has a sinecure to select a
rhyme for any word he chooses to
employ. But such is not always the
case. Exclusive of the ordinal nu-
merals, most Of which are unrhyme-
able, there are more than sixty
words that have no rhyme. Well
known examples of these include
such words as "gulf," "month,"
"orange," scarce" "silver," "win-
dow warmth" "spoilt'' and
"wasp." = Harold NJ. Haskell in

With the breaking up of winter
construction work on the various
lines of the North Coast railroad is

About 1000 men are being employed
on the various contracts on the Spo-
kane-Walla Walla line, and the Spo-
kane-Seattle line, scattered along al
most continuously for 40 miles from
Cheney south and southwest.
On the Palouse line about four
miles of heavy work have been done
by Carlson e Co., and Watshtok &
Chew. A lot of concrete culverts
have been completed A good ex.
ample of the solidity of North Coast
work is afforded by the concrete
bridge across the county road on the
Spokane-Walla Walla line just south
of the city limits, and the very heavy
rockwork extending thence for some
four or five miles near Marshall.
Substantial progress is being made
on the grading of the Spokane-Seat

BROTHERHOOD OF RAILWAY
TRAINMEN PUT 1T UP TO OF
FTCIALS AT CHICAGO-YARD-
MEN ARE DETERMINED.

Chicago, Feb. 11.-Armei with a
written authorization to call a strike
of railroad trainmen at moments
notice, officials Of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen today submitted
an ultimatum to officials of Is rail-
roads centering in Chicago.
The action was taken at the in
stance of the yardmen here, who are
determined not to temporize, believ-
ing that every moments delay in the
settlement of the question one way
or another is more costly to the
unions than to the railroads.
Switchmen Favor Strike.
The switchmen are overwhelming
ly in favor of striking. 1t is re-
ported that the vote to strike stood
3,007 to 81. 1t was announced that
an ultimatum would be presented to
the railway officials next Saturday
but the apparent unrest of the men
forced the union leaders to make a
demand for immediate settlement.
Committees representing both
sides began their conference at II

or five miles of grade have been
completed between this point and the
abrupt bend of the Yakima river
known as "The Horn" This stretch
of line also answers as a portion OF
the Priest Rapids branch.
Between Alfalfa, which is the juno
ton point Of the North Coast Walla
Walla-Puget Sound line and the o.
R. & N. company and Northern Pa
cific lines, and the North Coast Co
lumbia river bridge, a distance of
about eight miles, the grade is COM
plete, and minor bridges are also
about complete.
The great Columbia river bridge,
involving an outlay of something like
| 100000, is about Is per cent COM
pleted, eight out of the IL concrete
piers being finished and about 80 per
cent of the superstructure being up
on the ground and ready to be put
together.
Fortune for Every Mile.
Work is well under way on the
four or five miles intervening between
the west end of the Columbia river
bridge and Kennewick, where about
$250,000 is being spent on only two
miles of the line to secure grade sep
aration with the Spokane, Portland
& Seattle and Northern Pacific lines.
The North Coast line goes over the
top of the Spokane, Portland & Seat
tie about three-fourths of a mile
southeast of Kennewick by a ire
mendous fill some two miles long,
and at points 80 feet high, while in
the westerly limits of Kennewick the
North Coast passes under the North
ern Pacific line by al almost equally
heavy cut.

e. III. ROLLINS & SONS OF DEN
YER, COLORADO, PURCHASERS
OF LATE ISSUE OF $4,000
BONDS.

The city treasurer ami the finance
committee Of the city council on yes
terday evening opened the bids for
the late $4,000 bond issue. There
were two bidders, E. H. Rollins &
Sons. of Denver, Colo, which firm
offered to take the bonds for per
cent with a premium of 1915 and ac-
crued interest from the date to which
the bonds shall be delivered to the
city. S. A. Kean, of Chicago, was
second bidder and offered a premium
Of $500 ami per cent interest. Thu
bid OF Rollins G. Sons was accepted.
1t always takes more or less red
tape after the bids are accepted to
secure the money but it is expected
that the cash will be here by the time
the city is ready for the Improvement
work contemplated.

o'clock today. Vice President Whit
ney of the brotherhood attended the
conference and carried with him the
written authorization of the train
men for the calling og an immedi-
ate strike.
Tentative Conferences Held.
Several tentative conferences have
been held at which the demands Of
the men for increased wages were
refused repeatedly. The railroads
offered to submit the matter to a
board of arbitration and agreed to
change the working rules for the
benefit of the men. The offers were
refused by the yardmen, who de-
clare that their demands require
only one answer by the company,
tina of a general raise in wages.

Most of the illustrations in the
Daily World today were made from
photographs taken by T. Gagnon, the
South Wenatchee avenue photograph
er. The cuts from the photographs
were made very hurriedly as the time
for getting them out was limited, con-
sequently the engravers could take
but little time for retouching. How
ever, as the readers of the paper will
see, they show up very well. Mr.
Gagnon has all the equipment that
can be found in the latest up to date
galleries and is thoroughly an artist
in his line.

rial yards of the North Coast COM
pany, where there are acres of rails,
ties, spikes and other fastenings.
The several large construction en-
gines working for the company in
these yards, ana the forwarding of
material, are activities which have
added very much to the spring rush
and boom of that lively little city.
From Kennewick west to Benton
City, distance of some 20 miles, the
grade is completed and bridging we'll
under way. Just before entering
Benton City another expensive bridge
is being erected across the Yakima
river; the three concrete piers for
this are well under way, and material
for the superstructure practically all
on hand.
At historic Union Gap the Yakima
river and the Northern Pacific line
ana several important wagon roads
greatly complicate the engineering
and construction features in the mar
row gorge thus crowded.
Here large forces are at work with
steam shovels and other modern ap-
planes, and it is the expectation
that the line will be completed
through Union Gap and on to Yaki-
ma, about five miles further, by May
LIST.
At North Yakima row of blocks
running through the business district
of the city has been bought for ter
minal grounds, and good progress
has been made in clearing off the
structures for early constructor work
on the yards and terminals. This
right of way through the city of Yak
ina has alone cost to date about
100000.
Westward from North Yakima
through to the Coast the engineering
and right of way work is complete
for something like 100 miles, and
good progress is being made for the
remaining rs miles.
