wide should be constructed by the
company in return for the right of
way, the company Offering one ten
feet wide. Since that time Highway
commissioner Roberts, representing
the state, and Engineer M. J. C. An
drews, representing the company,
have made two trips over the road for
the purpose of estimating the cost of
building road such as could be used
as a highway. The commissioner re-
turned to Olympia last week and made
his report, which was unanimously
adopted by the highway commission.
In his report Mr.. Roberts states that
it would be unfair to ask the COM
pany to build "a foot road, as the
cost would prohibitive The commits
sion has decided to accept the railroad
offer often feet, the road to be so con-
structed that it can be widened later
by the state. The road to be built
will, it is estimated, cost $l25 900. This
puts the matter up to the company for
acceptance or rejection. Should they
reject the offer the railroad people
will probably prosecute their con-
demnation suit, now pending in the
courts, in which event jury would
fix cash price to be paid the state
for the right of way. A press dis
patch from Olympia under a date line
of November 9, says:
when the state highway board met
today it decided to accept the report
of w. j. Roberts, state highway COM
missioner, who examined the proposed
route for the new state road up the
Columbia river from Wenatchee, which
the Great Northern proposes to build
in exchange for state road No. 10.
"The width Of this new road is to
be ten feet. but so built that the state
can widen it at a Later date The cost
is estimated at $125,0O0
This means that residents of the
district will profit to the extent of
about $4,000.
Governor Hay insists that there be
a provision in contract requiring the
Great Northern to have it's line into
the Okanogan country in operation
within certain time. He thinks two

pany is to agree to build sheds to pro-
tect its property from slides and
blasts. The Great Northern will also

The Rivers OF God.

Copious and unfailing rivers run
just beneath the burning desolations
Of the Sahara Twenty or thirty feet
under the sand drifts there is an i'm
pervious sheet Of rock. which pre-
vents the escape Of the collected rain
waters. 1t 10 easy to see the oasis.
but not SO easy to track the windings
OF the hidden river. The skilled en-
gineer can get at the river. bring 1t
up through his wells. and change the
desert into an earthly paradise.
Society at large 10 not the dreary.
all-devouring. iliimitable ethical waste
we often imagine. The rivers of God
flow under natures we call reprobate,
and create penitential moods which
are the earnest of a coming righteous
ness. 1t Is easy to map out the strips
OF moral fruitfulness which appear
here and there in the world, but not
so easy to find the deep secret con-
triton OF those who are often classed
rs abandoned outcasts. The Saviour
OF the world has an insight into CHAR
acter which enables him to see prom
ise where men less sympathetic and
discerning see the black marks of
reprohation: and the angels share the
visions OF the Lord on whom they

good little children were expected to

the pin very much further down than

my work. but / was not even half
through yet, and 1t was time to 60 to
see my little chum IL was to go at

up my work to examine 1t. She asked
me IL I touched the pin. and began
to, cry. Then she showed me the place
where the pin was at frst. and / saw
that / had sewed away past that place
and might have been over at my

The story OF Mueoentouohit.
BY the time baby was twelve months

for cnce she had put her hand against

About this time she heard a long,
queer word many. many times a day.
The word was Mussentouchit.

the little round stand. Everybody In
the room shrieked "Mussentouchit"
when baby put up her hand to touch

In the globe lived three little goldfish.
Baby was very fond of climbing into ~
chair to see the tiny goldfish dart
across the pretty lake But whenever
she put her fingers into the globe to
touch one Of the pretty creatures some
body screamed 'sMussentouchit."
This went on until baby was two
years old. There was no word she
heard SO often as the long. queer word
''Mussentouchit"
Mussentouchit was everywhere--fn
the shining books on the parlor table;
In the flower beds; among the roses,
Even in mammals work basket tho
