Improving Egyptian Railroads

Cairo. November 25.--(Special) )-Con- siderable Improvements are being ef- fected in the railway communications of Egypt. this winter. Since last year most of the lines between Halfa and Atbara and Port Soudan and Atbara have been relald with heavier rails, enabling more powerful engines to be used and higher speeds to be attained. The old rails have been used again for the construction of the new line south from Khartoum to lIl Obeid. Between of 40 miles has been diverted to a new route. Hitherto the line has taken a cut across piece of desert between two points on the Nile. This section has been a source of constant trouble from drifting sand. and trains were often delayed over 1t. Now the line has been laid along the river bank.

Between the ages of fifteen and
eighteen Edwin Booth was almost con-
stantly the intimate companion of his
father. Junius Brutus Booth the elder.
That fathers eccentricities were such
as to tax even the devotion of such
a son, but Edwin's affectionate care
never failed. He used to beguile the
tragedian's time following his arduous
performances by playing the violin or
singing negro ballads. accompanying
himself on the banjo. Many times he
attended his father on long walks be-
tween midnight and morning. In 1851.
on q certain night, the father was
booked to appear as Richard III. ut
the National theater. New York. An
hour before the time for the curtain
to rise he chose to lock himself in
closet at his hotel and refused every
persuasion his son could offer to keep
his engagement.
In despair Edwin rushed to the the
ater to explain his fathers absence.
The house was already filed. The
manager was distracted and in his
excited questioning Of the boy acci-
dentally learned that the tragedian
had fippantly told Edwin to go and
act Richard himself "We1l take him
at his word" said the manager. And
the frightened boy was FASTENED to

A REMARKABLE
HILl-CLIMBING Feat

From the Los Angeles Times of Fer.
9Th, we take the following account of
remarkable hill-climblng feat of a
Velie touring car, The performance
was witnessed by E. A. Burrell, form
erly of this city. who sent copy of the
paper to the G. w. & NJ. Co., the local
agents for the Velie:
"E. Roger Storms has risked his life
number of times, but his most daring
act was pulled off Thursday, when he
climed the Mount Washington incline
in Velie touring car. Taking dare
Stearns went up the 37i per cent grade
in the Velie, which had not even been
overhauled in the shops of the Standard
Motor Car company
when the Velie reached the foot of
the incline knot of people who had
heard of the dare had gathered to watch
the car perform. The boards were wet
and greasy and the asc ent seemed more
difficult than ever. Stearns looked
dubious, but when his passenger smiled
ne decided.
Starting at the boards with as good a
run as he could secure, Stearns shot the
car up the hill and reached the summit
in fast time. From the dizzy height the
driver looked down and the recklessness
of his act impressed itself on him for
the first time. He was far above the
city, where he had sent the car on q
fierce demonstration, but the question
was, how could he go DOWN.
Few automobiles have eyer been
driven up BIZ per cent grade. Just as
few have been driven down. From the
heights the decent looked even more
terrible. The passenger looked at the
running-board, and then at Stearns'f
face. The Velie driver was unperturb-
ed. He had chance to show his nerve
and he displayed 1t for the benefit Of
the man with him on the front seat q

In recording their votes
against the passage of the
railroad commission bill in
the house last Tuesday, the
Examiner believes that Rep
resentatives Alfred and Mel
sen voiced the sentiments of
a large majority of their con-
stituents. Idaho is not ready |
for a railroad commission yet
and we congratulate Messrs.
Alfred and Nielsen for having
the courage to vote against
the saddling of an expensive
and unnecessary commission
upon the people. 1t is true
that in thus recording their
votes, they repudiated the
plank IN the state platform,
but the railroad commission
plank was placed in the plat
form to appease the desires
of Frank r. Gooding and one
or two others, who have been
riding the railroad commits
sion hobby for several years
The placing of that plank il
the platform cost the repub
licans of Idaho several humid
red votes last November, ant
was one of the causes instru-
mental in the defeat of Gov
ernor Brady. While the bill
went through the house b.
