~ MOTHER loves that child most
~ that is weakest; a father loves
the child most that is strongest.
When photographs of mother as
she appeared when young are shown
the children. they regard. her wrinkles
and gray hairs more as the result of
putting up with father than as the
natural work OF time And usually
with reason.
AS children we depend on fathers
money taking US through the world.
and mothers prayers making every
thing all right in the next, and never
live so long that we entirely outgrow
the latter notion.
When father is awakened suffi-
ciently to realize that the baby is
crying, he is wide enough awake to
see that its mother is up and caring
for it.
Mothers fears that she may die are
based OH the kind of stcpmother
their father will bring the children,
his fears concern the man who will
enjoy his life insurance money.

: Mother and Father :

The children are always glad that
father didn't marry his first love, be-
ing perfectly satisfied with mother,
but they always have an underlined
notion that the family would be hap
pier If mother had married hers
The children are always more CRATE
full to mother than to father. True,
father has to earn the money. but
then mother has to coax it out of him.
and sitting down town behind desk
can never be as hard work as coax
ing money out of father.
The public generally doesn't share
this opinion, but the mother and
father sitting In the audience, who
kept their daughter In school In spite
of her kicks and screams. and who
bought all the pretty white stuff she
is wearing. though depriving them
selves in doing it. are infinitely more
interesting than the young thing on
the stage who thinks she knows all
about life, and who doesn't know any
more about it than mouse that has
lived all its life inside a fruit cake.

will be the ultimate result and how
greatly each Puget Sound port will be

What the road is doing for all the

well known to need more than brief

for greatly widening its scope. Here

Stirring Story of Achievement i'm New Steel Trail
History of Milwaukee
One of Much Progress
Tale of How Great Railroad Pushed into the Far WeslIs
Interestng-Its Aims and Purposes:.in the
Developing of New Territory

the California lines at Kansas City,
Omaha or Sioux City, that gridirons the
states of Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota
and the Dakotas and lastly, through
the completion of it's Puget Sound sys
tenn, has built up through line from
Chicago and that whole territory to the
greatest harbors of the Pacific, those
of Puget Sound. To reach this section
the line traverses a country rich in
vast industrial opportunity, but merely
at the beginning of its development.
The building of the line to various
ports of Puget Sound was but the first
step in the giant plans of this railroad.
No sooner had the sound Of the driving
of the last spike died away in the
echoes of the pine-clad hills of the
Sound when steps were taken to build
up the local territory-branch out into
new fields and today, this, the newest
of all the transcontinental lines, has,
even at this early date, completed more
local feeders than have other and older
lines existing in the Pacific North
west.
The Milwaukee is aggressive as well
| as progressive. No sooner had the line
been thrown open for traffic than its
management looked far beyond the
breakers of the broad Pacific. To the
far north lay Alaska, the world treas
ure house. 1t had been known for
years, but the Milwaukee rediscovered
| it and sent its agents into the far in
terror, opening offices and getting ac-
quainted with the miners, the sealers,
the salmon fishermen and the people
| generally. A few weeks after the line
was opened it transported the first
train of high grade copper ore from
Alaska to the Atlantic seaboard and
this was followed by shipments by car
loads of those remarkable blue foxes to
the fox breeding farms of Nova Scotia.
They looked to the Orient and long
before the road was completed had
plans for direct line of ships. 1t was
the newest road, but it is to date the
only transcontinental American line
that has adopted a through export rate
from the Far East and intermediate
points to ports of Japan and China. 1t
opened an Oriental agency and placed
at the head a capable young man to
properly manage that department. What
is the result of all these movesi Pass
ing through this splendid inland harbor
of Puget Sound, the gateway to the
whole Pacific, are vast cargoes of
freight gathered along the line of the
railway and destined for distant Pa
cific ports of this and foreign coun

noticeably successful and indicates

= ERE'S to the Greater Milwau-
- kee! was the terse sentiment
i i expressed in a toast offered
by the president of the Chi
eago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway
at recent banquet given in Chicago to
the officials of that system. 1t was
brief and to the point. No words
could have been uttered to more aptly
illustrate the keynote of the addresses
of the evening, the history, growth and
development of the big system com
bined with the bright outlook and inn
portant plans for the future. And the
official who offered the toast, A. j..
Earling, the man who has little to say
but who does things, concisely stated
the case and echoed the thought now
prevalent in the mind of the public
that the Milwaukee is among the lead
srs in the list of important transporta-
tion companies and first among West
ern railroads with far-reaching plans
for future expansion to meet the re-
auirements sure to come, incidental to
the industrial development and the gen
eral prosperity of the country at the
present time.
And so it comes that the same senti-
ment can here be made the motif of
story of achievement, new chapter in
the stirring history of American trans
portation, a recital that not only deals
with the future up-building of the Pa
sific Northwest, but one that links the
East and, the West; that brings to-
Qether the Occident and the Orient.
This is not in any sense historical
review of the Milwaukee, but in passing
it might be interesting to note that in
the early sixties the road was incor-
porated in Wisconsin to build local
line connecting several of the then i'm
portant towns in the Badger State. Lo-
cal development was the watchword
and ever since the closest attention has
been given to local branches that
brought the products and people of the
outlying farms, mining towns and set
Elements nearer to the main line. AS a
local company it took it's name from
the places it aimed to reach and so

been perpetuated for all time in a

quiam, Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma, the

tricts of Calumet, that connects with

Postage-Shy
Notes Bother
Postal Official Tells Public What
Stamps to Use on Letters
to Go Over Seas

So much inconvenience is caused to
postoffice officials and the patrons of
the postal service by the large number
of letters mailed to foreign countries
without sufficient postage, that Second
Assistant Postmaster General Joseph
Stewart has sent out letter of in
sJruction in regard to the amount of
postage necessary on letters that are
to travel TO "foreign parts" The let
ter follows: The department is in
formed that many letters mailed in the
United States, addressed for delivery
in foreign countries, which are subject
to our postal union pastage rates, are
prepaid only two cents, the senders of
such letters being under the impres.
sion, it is presumed, that our two-cent
domestic postage rate is applicable to
said letters. The only foreign destina-
tions to which our twocent letter rate
applies are Canada, Cuba, Mexico, the
Republic of Panama, Newfoundland,
the Canal Zone, Germany (by direct
steamers only, England, Scotland,
Wales and Ireland and the City of
Shanghai, China. To all other places
the rate is five cents for the first ounce
or fraction of an ounce and three cents
for each additional ounce or fraction
of an ounce, which must be fully pre-
paid or the letters become liable on
delivery to charge equal to double
the amount of the deficient postage.
For instance, a single-rate letter pre-
pa. only two cents would be short
paid three cents, and, consequently,
subject on delivery to an additional
postage charge of six cents.

proposed legislation on the subject. AS
result Of the small attendance the
meeting adjourned.
The meeting was called for Odd Eel
lows Temple Tenth and King streets,
and the commissioners, Judge Philip O.
Churchman, S. d. Townsend and Charles
c. Guyer, arrived early. Those who
gathered discussed several matters per-
tanning to the subject which they
thought should be incorporated into
laws. One of these suggestions was TO
compel all vehicles 20 carry red lights
on the rear of motor vehicles. The speed
question of automobiles as well as the
frequent blowing of the horns was like
wise considered.
One man appeared to think that warn
ngs should be sounded by the automo-
bile operators frequently. He cited an
instance of being nearly run down by
automobiles.
