NOT BUILDING LOGGING ROAD
President of Pacific Railway Declares
Grade Is First Class.

President of Pacific Railway Declares
Grade Is First Class.
Portland-"Who ever heard Of q log
ging road constructed at cost Of $40,-
900 per mile?"
This the question E. E. Lytle, presi-
dent Of the Pacific Railway & Naviga-
tion company, propounded when asked
in regard to a report emanating from
Astoria to the effct that the line being
Quilt from Hillsboro TO Tillamook will
be nothing more nor less than a log
ging road; that ii is not intended for
passenger and freight business.
"Why, it is absurd" Mr.. Lytle con-
tinued, and laughed heartily. "0f
course the report came from Astoria |;
Astoria does not want the road built at
all. II never did.
"We are pushing the work as rapid
y as possible. and expect to have
trains in operation by August l. At
present /, 500 men are engaged on the
work, and they are certainly doing
something" "The report has it that
the road contains too many sharp
curves, and too steep a grade to make
it practical for passenger traffic." Mr..
Lytle was told.
Curves and grades? We have no
sleeper grade than the maximum Of
the Southern Pacific to California,
which is 8 per cent, and as for curves,
there 10 not one exceeding Is degrees.
You must not lose sight Of the fact
that we have 1s tunnels on that stretch
of road from Hillsboro to Tillamook.
These tunnels shoudld do away with
some of the grade that seems TO fright
en- those who might have started the
rumor.
"The road will cost in the neighbor-
hood Of 81, 600. 900, including the cost Of
equipment, and passenger and freight
trains will be operated to supply every
demand.
GAS far as logging goes, we do not
own tract Of timber in that district.
OF course, it taps rich timber coun-
try, and logs will, of course, be haul
ed if they are offered, but 1t will only
be part of the business.

At the Democratic state convention
in Milwaukee on the 18th day of July,
Hon. Burt Williams was not a candi-
date for any office. His friends forced
the nomination of L. S. Senator upon
him. Many of the delegates present
seconded Mr.. Williams nomination
and among the number was Congress-
man Weisse. He had thought of be-
coming a candidate but said that he
had given up the idea and further said
that he would do what he could for
Mr.. Williams. Now he comes out as
a candidate. 1t looks as though there
is "nigger in the fence" somewhere.
Mr.. Williams stands high in the minds
of the Democrats and should receive
the solid support of Shawano county.
1t is hoped that he will be nominated.

Weisse Breaks Faith.

Congressman Charles II. WeisSe of
Sheboygan Falls has surprised even
his friends and former ardent support
ers by announcing his candidacy for
United States senator in opposition to
Burt Williams, of Ashland who was
the unanimous choice of the Demo-
cratic convention held at Milwaukee
on June Both. Mr.. Weisse stated
openly at the convention that he
would not be candidate for that
Office but would seek a denomination
for congressman and endorsed Mr..
Williams candidacy by seconding his
nomination in strong speech, in
which he eulogizcd the brilliant Ash
land orator. 1t looks as if there was
"nigger in the fence" somewhere
and there will always be suspicion
lurking in the minds of the Democrats
who attended the convention that there
is something back of the move that
does not appear on the surface or in
Mr.. Weisse's announcement that he is
candidate merely to bring out the
Democratic vote at the primaries. The
writer is a strong personal and politi-
cal friend of Mr.. Weisse but he can
not endorse his action in this matter
and believes that the ''only' Demo-
cratic Wisconsin congressman is act
ing in very bad faith.-Oconto Enter

RINGLINGS TO SHOW HERE.

Ringing Brothers Worlds Greatest
Shows will, on Thursday, Aug. Is, give
two performances in Manitowoc.
When Ringing Brothers exhibited
in Madison Square Garden, New York
City was simply paralyzed with amaze
ment. 1t was not used to seeing such
a show as these brothers are now pre-
senting. Naturally enough it was as
tonished. The daily papers, one and
all, took their hats off, figuratively,
and said it was the best circus of all
The magazines devoted pages to de-
scription of the various acts. 1t was a
sensation in the amusement affairs of
the metropolis.
When it appears here, the same pro-
gram will be given. 1t is an all-feat-
ure show. Not content with the repu-
tation of owning the best and biggest
circus in the world, the Ringlings have
kept on growing and lettering. 1t is
their policy to grow and to improve.
They cannot help it. They are still
young men and not at all content to
rest on past glories. Perfection is
their aim. They have practically at
tanned it.
The foreign agents of the show are
an unusually energetic and progressive
set of men. They have stripped Eur
ope and Asia of all its best talent for
this years tour of America. And fate
was kind to them. Last winter was an
unusually productive season in Europe
in the way of novelties. They were all
secured. The cost of this importation
of talent would have bankrupt any 9TH
er show in America.
Meantime in the tropics of South A.
merica, India and Africa, squads of
trappers searched the forests, jungles
and everglades in search of curiosities.
In Africa the chieftans of several saw
age tribes were induced to leave their
people behind and help to entertain
the United States. Also a great many
curious specimens of animal life fell in
to the nets of the expedition. In India
capture was made in a single day that
was worth its weight in gold. 1t was
Darwin. the missing link. He meets
every requirement of the missing Sec
ton of the Darwinian chain. In fact
he is 50 much like a human that with
out any coaching whatever he has a.
dopted the habits and the clothing OF
man. He insists on dining at table
with full table equipment. He even
carries watch. He lives in house
From early last fall up to the first
thaws of spring an army of Italian and
French artists and property builders
worked night and day in the foreign
workshops of the show at Stoke-on-
Trent, England, devising and building
the new equipment which is this year
displayed free upon the streets of every
city visited 1t is the grandest spect-
acle ever presented by a circus. 1t
costs enough money to buy any other
show. 1t is pictorial history of the
world, peopled with l,2S0 men, women
and children from every corner of the
earth.
