Water Power for Railways.

The electrification OF the lines of the
Chicago. Milwaukee & ST. Paul Railway
in Montana, Idaho and Washington is the
most important and extensive project OF
the kind ever undertaken in this country.
The change is expected TO save at least a
fourth OF the cost OF operation and greatly
TO better the service in the mountainous
parts OF the road. The ll3 miles in Mon
tana between Three Forks and Deer
Lodge on the Puget Sound line OF rail-
way will probably be the first electrified.
BY 1918, electricity will be the power
in use on four engine divisions that ex-
tend from Harowton, in Montana, TO Av-
cry, in Idaho, a distance OF about 44O
miles and the company is planning to
continue the electrification so that il will
reach from Harlowton 10 Seattle and Ia
coma, $50 miles away.
The road will get its current mainly
from seven water-power plants that can
produce about lOO,0 900 horse power. The
cost will be only little more than five
mills kilowatt hour. Twin overhead
trolley wires will convey the current TO
the 260- ton locomotives, which will have
a continuous capacity greater than that OF
any steam locomotive or any electric To-
comotve heretofore made. When the
entire 44O miles is electrified it is expect
ed that sixty locomotives can handle the
normal traffic, instead OF the eighty-two
that are now required.
That will be the first time that electric
locomotives have been used on tracks
that extend over more than one engine
division, and II will give the first good
chance TO test the advantages OF electric
railway traction. Under the new system
the railway will not need 10 haul coal and
to keep up coal yards and water tanks.
There will be no more delays for taking
on coal and water, or repair bills owing TO
poor coal and bad water and the danger
OF forest fires caused by sparks from the
locomotive will be at an end.
The waterfalls OF the Rocky Mountains
and the Cascades can furnish, il is said =,
power enough TO run every mile OF rail-
way west of a line drawn north and south
through the centre ofthe State OF Montana.
and north OF line drawn from the south
ern border OF Utah TO the Pacific coast.
-Four great hydro electric companies, in
Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and Montana, are
already equipped TO furnish power for
enormous eIectrification enterprises, and
il is probable that within the next few
years not less than ten thousand miles Of
mountain railways will be electrified.

A Turkish Legend.

certain Pasha, dead these thousand years,
Once from his harem fled in sudden tears,
And had this sentence on the city's gate
Deeply engraven. Only God is great"
So those four words above the city's noise
Hung like the accents OF an angels voice,
And evermore, from the high barbacan.
Sauted each returning caravan.
Lost is that city's glory. Every gust
Lifts. with deadlea the unknown Pasha's dust.
And all is ruin-save one wrinkled gate
Whereon is written. Only God is great"
Thomas Bailey Aldrich.

sickness usually starts with cold, and
a cold only exists where weakness
exists. Remember that.
Overcome the weakness and nature

syrups or stimulants; they are only
props and braces and whips.

KENNEWICK, Wash, May 22.-
Strawberries in and about Keunewick

sway and bearing fair upon the mar

in this section of the country, allow
ing Hood River and Freewater ber-

Individual farms are supplying the
Fruit Exchange with from fifty to
two hundred crates per day, The
berries are large and quite numerous
considering weather drawbacks. The
late rains and cold winds have soft
ened many of the berries up to the
present time, also causing a great
number of overripes because of un-
favorable picking, as berries in this
section are not accepted on the ex-
change when wet or overripe. But
with the weather turning favorable
the prospects for. the remainder OF
the season are quite bright, and it is
expected that the exchange win bs

The Kennewick and Richland fields
are furnishing employment for a
large number of men. Individual
farms employing from twenty to forty
pickers and packers, all of whom are
able to clear a reasonable If not ex-
