William H. Boiling, OF Wythville. Va.
She was one of thirteen children,
nine of whom are still living.
In. 1896 Edith Boiling, a beautiful
girl. met Norman Gait. A short time
later they were married. This hap
pened while she was visiting her Sis
ter, Mrs. Alexander Hunter Gait.
He was vestryman In st. Thomas
church in Washington. and was gener-
ous with his wealth and personal ac-
tivities In the church until his death.
eight years ago After his death Mrs.
Gait continued an active member OF
the same church. occupying the pew
her husband had possessed ever since
the church was built. Just after the
announcement of her engagement to
the president, however. Mrs. Gait
transferred her membership to st.
Margaret's Episcopal church.
The presidents bride is not known
as a college girl, though she con-
cluded her education at Rowell's col
lege in Richmond, Va, after attend
ing Martha Washington college at
Arlington, Va. for some time.
Indication OF her love OF the open
is found in the frequent jaunts Mrs.
Gait and the president took into the
country after the announcement Of
their engagement. On several occa-
sions hampers of picnic lunch were
loaded into the presidents big limou-
sine, to be investigated during the
long ride over the rolling highways
OF Virginia and Maryland.
Not q SufYragette
Mrs. Gait is not suffragist. 1t Is
not because she opposes suffrage. 1t
is because she never has gone deeply
into the issue. Mrs. Calf is OF COM
mercially successful family. Two Of
her brothers, Richard w. and Julian
B. Boiling. are now associated in the
Gait jewelry firm, the oldest In the
city, established by Norman Galt's
grandfather and now owned by Mrs
Wilson herself.
The coming OF a woman Of Mrs.
Galt's type to the White House is a
matter Of general satisfaction to
genuine Washingtonians White
House life will not be new or strange
to her. The Gait family Of Wash
ington and the Bollings of Wythville
have been on visiting terms at the
executive mansion for many years
During the first Cleveland admins
tration Mr.. and Mrs. w. NJ. Gait we're
not only among the closest OF the per-
sonal friends OF President Cleveland
but also among the very few guests
at the wedding OF the president and
Miss Frances Folsom.
II was from a country town in old
Virginia that Miss Edith Boiling
came to Washington some twenty
years ago. Possessed Of more than
average beauty, she Immediately
found herself In a cultured circle.
II ia from this circle that the coming
season is likely to draw new ele-
ment 10 the White House.

A PROMISING FUTURE.

Southern Oregon is undoubtedly
upon the eve OF wonderful indus
trial and commercial revival and
awakening. From Washington there
comes the word that the project of
the harbor at Crescent City has been
approved by the board OF army en-
gineers. While this does not Of it.
self carry the appropriation for the
building OF the harbor, 1t does assure
that congress win in due time make
such appropriation as the board asks
for the prosecution of the work. The
building Of the harbor is carried for
ward forward by the board OF army
engineers, and that it has approved
the plan places the Crescent City pro-
ject upon the list Of going improve
ments.
The action OF the board places the
stamp of approval upon the investi-
cation which they have made of the
resources of southern Oregon and
northern California. These men sat
isfied themselves first that the harbor
was physical possibility; then, that
once built, 1t would have business to
justify the expenditure Of money for
its improvement. The development
of those resources can now proceed
with the assurance that shipping fa-
cilities will be provided. Harbor de-
velopment and the completion OF the
railroad to the coast will depend the
one upon the other. The action at
Washington assures both the COM
pletion OF the road without undue
delay and the construction Of the
harbor. These will make available
the billions Of feet OF timber. the
great deposits of ore, and the extend
ing Of agricultural and horticultural
activities.
Coincident with this news from
Washington is the assurance OF the
erection Of o beet sugar factory in
the Rogue valley, this to bring with
it also development in irrigation and
other lines. The building Of this fac
tory and the production OF beets up
on 5000 acres OF Rogue soil will
have an immediate influence upon
local conditions. and will give the
district a stability that will establish
land values and give the farmer a
sure and definite income from his
acres.
No country ever had more brill
liant future opening to 1t than has the
Rogue valley today.

thus invite a severe reaction.
While the agricultural, industrial. MGR
camille and transportation outlooks are
each promising, the same is to be
said of the financial outlook. Our
banking Institutions are in exception
ally good position. The new reserve
system works smoothly and has vastly
increased the supply Of credit So,
too, has the tremendous influx of gold,
amounting to about $4OO,0e0,000 SO
far this year. There has been an
amazing expansion of credit, as is
strikingly shown by the loans of New
York banks; many of the larger insti-
buttons in New York having shown an
increase of over 100 per cent in about
year. One concern alone has de-
posts of over S50O,00O.0OO, or double
the deposits of a year ago, and several
others are carrying deposits of over
$100,oOo,0o0, $20O,0OO,OO0 and $780,
100000. This growth of deposits is,
of course, largely due to the expansion
in loans which have in turn been
greatly augmented by operations con-
nected with the AngIo-French loan
and other important international is
sues, not to mention the extensive
credits granted to several of the Euro
pean belligerents. In spite of these
extraordinary operations. the money
market continues abundantly supplied
with funds at easy rates. The stimu-
lus of these conditions should not be
overlooked. We are already in a
period of initiation. and this has much
to do with the prevailing rise in values
and the activity which that tendency
inevitably promites. Conservative
bankers are alive to the dangers which

THE RAILROADS.

Last, but by no means least, in Mr.
wilson's address to congress is his
suggestion that matters are not as
satisfactory, perhaps, as they might
be with the railroads of the country.
There is disposition in some quarters,
and more pronounced, of course,
among the chronic railroad baiters,
to dismiss lightly such complaints as
the railroads are making about their
abilities to maintain and extend their
service and make both Lnds meet I'M
der the varying conditions that now
surround them. 1t is contended that
the railroads are doing a lot of un-
necessary crying and that most of
their troubles are due to mismanage-
ment, and that the roads which are
being properly conducted really have
no just complaints to make But
the president takes a little different
view of the situation AS he says,
the transportation problem is an ex-
ceedingly serious and pressing one in
this country, and he adds: There.
has from time to time of late been
reason to fear that our railroads
would not much longer be able to
cope with it successfully, as at present
equipped and coordinated." And he
suggests IHdI congress SnOuIu IldhS
provision for a commission of inquiry
to ascertain by a thorough canvass of
the whole question whether our laws
as at present framed and administer
ed are as serviceable as they might be
in the solution of the problem 1t
would be no more than wise, he
thinks, to have such an inquiry before
any further legislation for the regula-
ton of the railroads is attempted. No
one, as the president says, would
wish to take any backward step in
the matter of railroad regulation.
The regulation of the railways of the
country by federal commission" he
states, has had admirable results and
has fully justified the hopes and ex-
pectation of those by whom the policy
of regulation was originally proposed.
The question is not what we should
undo? It is, whether there is any
thing else We do that would sup
ply us with effective means, in the
very process of regulation, for better
ing the conditions under which the
railroads are operated and for making
them more useful servants of the |
country whole"

outlet for our surplus manufactures
will become more and more impera-

materials we need feel no concern,
since there will be a good foreign de-
mand for all that we can spare. But
for our manufactured surplus the
question will be totally different, and

THE WORKER ANT PREPARES ron WINTER

Come over here and look at these
antsi' cried Tommy Tittie-mOuse to
Mrs. Tommy, the day after they were
settled in the barn. I've been watch
ing them for long time and they go
hack and forth, back and forth from
the barn to their home in the gar
den"
Mrs. Tommy Tittle-mouse dropped
her work at once and ran to see
what there WAS to be seen. Why,
that isn't anything. Tommy" she said
disgustedly, that's nothing but row
of ants, Why bother me about that -
1T isn't just that" explained Tom
my eagerly; IF 1t had been | would
have said nothing. You watch them
a minute
so Mrs. Tommy watched.
Yes, it was just al Tommy said
The same ants went clear out into
the garden where they had a home
down under the log And then. last
when Mrs. Tommy was getting a
waiting, they all came back again.
straight as could be they went to the
corn bin near where the mice had
taken up their home.
Now you just watch me, said
Tommy with determination. .Mhen
those ants get close to us 1 mean to
ask the Worker Ant, who is tbs lead
er, what they are doing
And sure enough, when the parade
of ants got close enough to make
talking easy. Tommy called out
loudly, PLEASE stop and talk to US
a minute, Worker Ant We want
to know what you are doing
But the ants paid no attention at
all. They went right along about
their business as though Tommy had
not spoken.
That's very queeri said Tommy
thoughtfuily, as he watched the row
of ants climb out over the barn door
sill u guess I'll wait here and see
if they come back. That must be
important work, for the Worker Ant
has always been willing to talk to
me-
Presently the Worker Ant returned,
this time little ahead of the others.
