As late as 1870 there were but 40
miles Of railway open for traffic In
New Zealand. This had grown to q
400 miles in 1906, of which all but "a
miles were owned and worked by the
government. Owing to the physical
divisions, broken surface, and small
population of the colony, the railway
system is difficult to manage cheaply.

KILLED MOSQUITO,
BROKE HIS NOSE
Ole Bergstrom Has ProSpered IN
Alaska Despite His Many
Disasters.
OFFERS NO COMPLAINT
Thinks All Accidents Are Work OF
Provldence-Seward Physician On
ly Surprised When He Shows
Up Intact.

Seward, Alaska.-Ole BergstrOm Is
an intensely religious homesteader
who has lived in Alaska for twenty
years or more and prospered both finan-
cially and spiritually despite the fact
that the miSfortunes he has endured
make Jobs numerous troubles trivial
and inconsequential by comparison.
The whole period of Oles residence
In Alaska Is plastered over with net
work of overlapping and interviewing
ills such as clOudbursts, destructive
windstorms, stock diseases, depreda-
lions of wild animals and other disaS-
trous incidents which would drive the
ordinary man to distraction, but which
Ole accepts without complaint and In
the firm conviction that they are yisi-
tations from Providence in punishment
for sins of commission or omission; al
though if Ole ever committed really
wrongful act in his life 1t is unknown
to his neighbors.
Recently a mosquito perched unex-
pectedly on Ole's nose, whereupon IL
well-drected blow from his ham-like
palm effectually disembOdied the
spirit of the mosquito, but unfOrtu
nately broke Ole's nose. DR.. j. ii.
Romig, the physician in attendance,
says that Ole will be about his bust
ness again in a few days, but with IL
nose robbed of its original symmetry,
and firm conviction that the pc
culiar misfortune was a direct rebuke
from providence for his ayarice-Ole
having been tempted by the sinfully
high prices, prevailing and prospective,
to plant 20 acres of potatoes, a pre-
viously unheard of acreage in Alaska.
Bear Upon Him.
Five years ago while returning to his
ranch from trading visit to Seward
Ole Unexpectedly came upon a brown
bear and her cub at turn of the trail
On Resurrection river and, being
wise to the general habits Of brown
bears, knew it was folly to run, partic-
llarly as he had heavy pack upon
his back. AS something just had to |

Island Rapid Transit railroad on its
peaceful and deliberate way from
South Beach to st. George. This train
was not going as fast as the lone en-
CINE, which was then moving merrily
along at so miles an hour. At the
rear Of the train was a combination

boat itself IS very novel, having been
built to the captains own ideas. She
is 80 feet long and 10 feet wide and
draws about five feet of water. She
is registered at five tons, but according
to the captain she is only about four
tons draft.
Capt. Drake left Seattle on July %,

A life-saving apparatus In the 70 IN

provide means Of escape for railroad
firemen and engineers has been per-

with few seconds warning the men

The interior Of the tank is fitted with

There are now in passenger service
