Combine vital to Northwest.

1T believe Il is In the interest of the
development Of the Northwestern coun-
try and of the Burlington and Northern
Pacific TO include the Great Northern
IN that system" said Mr.. Elliott. "All
the reasons assigned by Mr. Holden for
keeping the Great Northern in the COM
oination apply with equal force to the
Northern Pacific"
The existence Of these Northern Pa
clhc lines all had bearing on the de-
STABILITY in 1900 OF having the Bur
llngton build 10 ST. Paul and Mime
apols at the east end of the Northern
Pacific and to Billings in the center"
Mr.. Elliott said. THE Burlington peo-
pie were making n constant study OF the
value of the Twin Cities and Billings
connection, also considering Mt the same
time the question Of completing In some
way their own lines to the north Pa
cihc coast"
This development OF the Burlington
az a transcontinental line had beer
stopped only by the drawing up OF an
agreement between that road and the
Northern Pacific providing for general
interchange Of traffic, Mr. Elliott indi-
Gated. and the closeness of the business
relationship thus established resulted
finally In the purchase of the Burlington
by the two Northern interests.
A trade was made whereby the Bur-
lington stockholders got 5000 share
for their stock IN the joint obligation OF
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern, Mr.. Elliott said In describing the
purchase. The three railroads in con-
junction undertook construction OF the
Spokane. Portland and Seattle Railway

JUNIOR RED CROSS
OF AMERICA HELPS
FRENCH CHILDREN

Paris.-American children have
brought happiness and laughter
into the lives of their little broth
ers nd sisters in France. The pen
MES and dimes which they might
have spent for candy and sweet
meats have enabled the Junior Red
Cross to give to the children OF
France, in their name, 25 play
grounds and innumerable games.
All the games and recreations
which form so~much a part of the
lives of their little kinsfolk in
America are taught the French
boys and girls.
AS proof of their appreciation of
the generosity of Americas help,
the French themselves have now
raised a fund almost equal to that
contributed by the children Of the
United States and are planning TO
establish a playground of the Amer
lean type in every important district
of France.
Several of the Fairgrounds estab-
iished by the Americans are in
Paris and are directed by recrea-
ton experts from the United
States. The average French child,
especially the abnormal child born
during or Immediately after the
war, is not inclined to play with
that robust energy and that spirit
of team work necessary to its men
tai, physical and moral develop
ment, Moreover, games like base
ball and basketball are not common
in France as in America. They
must be taught.
One of the principal tasks of the
American instructors is to teach the
French child a spirit of fair play
and pnselfishness.
The French child is an individ-
ualist, playing alone and guarding
jealousy its own toy He does not
fraterniZe or make friends among
the children of the neighborhood.
AS a result he became selfish and
one-sided. The Americans are try
ing to show the French children
the happiness that comes from COM
munity play and team work. They
are Introducing group games to
overcome this self1shness and to in
culcate qualities of fairness, good
nature and gallantry.
