'h--"; ', ''; t.v: V The Pacifid Northwest .Is the real center 'of the building activity.' The SUtes of Washington, Oregon, Ida ho. Montana, and Nevada claim more than 1.008 miles of new railway In Immediate prospect, "What this means may be Inferred, from the fact that is Is more railway than now ex lste In the State, of Washington and la twice as much es there Is In Ore gon,, These States have all outgrown their railway systems. " Here also lies the amphitheatre of the most spectacular railway contest .of the day, for here James J. Hill meets E.- H. Harrlman In the field. Oregon for .forty years has lain fsl law, bound around by the great clr ele of the Shasta Route and the Ore gon, Short Line. .This past summer Mr. Harrlman has announced that more than one thousand miles of rail way will be built for the opening of Oregonthe great, deep, mysterious desert or central Oregon. Across the Columbia river. In Washington. Mr. Hill Is building the Portland Seattle Railway from near Pasco Into Portland, about t0 ml lea . it Is the most singular rail way ever bulit In the West. It Is to cost between 1(0,000 and 170.000 a mile, to be built of the heaviest steel rail, and to be practi cally a water level line across the Rocky Mountains. To accomplish this feat mountains are levelled and cast Into the river, huge cliffs of solid granite pierced with a series of tre mendous tunnels, great crevasses filled with broken rock. The roadbed. In fact. Is being cut along the precipitous cliffs that are the north ehore of the Columbia riv er. The one sole purpose of this made road Is to provide a new high way for the Northern Pacific and the Oreat Northern, which shall make those roads the chespest, and there fore the most powerful, of the rail ways that carry freight from the lakes to the Pacific. There Is no local traffic on the line On the south flows the broad Colum bia, with the Oregon Shrot Line but a few miles back from its shore. On the north line the cliffs and the mountains. In direct reprisal for this daring In vasion of Portland, Mr. Harrlman Is shoving the Union Pacific north Into Seattle, the headquarters of Puget Sound traffic. He has spent more than 110.000.000 to get his terml nals and approaches, and Intends to carry his fight Into the heart of the enemy's country. This line, like the last. Is a strategic railway rather than a pioneer. Into this battle of the mighty In trudes.a new combatant, the Chica go, Milwaukee A, St. Paul. The country traversed by Its surveys Is seml-arld in places. Coming into the mountains the road cuts through the copper center of the world, skirting the marvellous mountain of Butte Beyond, it pierces the great forests. Here and there. throughout the thoussnd mile streteh of main line, It traverses rich valleys, heavy with grain and cattle. Across the Colum bia it runs through the home of the big red apple, perhaps the most dis tinctive of the varied products of tho garden State of Washington This Is a great project. In time It will probably make the St. Paul the second of the third lsrgest of the rsilways of ths Union in point of revenues. It means the creation of a new highway to rival the Oreat Northern and the Northern Pacific. Wyoming Is coming rn for a tsrdy recognition as a railway field. The United States government s spending many millions of dollars on two great Irrigation projects in that State. In consequence, the Chicago A Northwestern is pusning tnrough a branch from Casper westward. The Colorado & Southern has surveyors In the field running a line north from Denevr to the Yellowstone river. The Chicago. Burlington A Quincy is mapping out a new line. Southwsrd the Hill lines disappear. That mighty pioneer is replaced In the central region by eorge J. Gould, who rivals the activities of E. H. Harrlman. The new Gould lino Is one of the most spectacular and Im pressive episodes of the day. It Is designed to be the western division of the Oould transcontinent al railway, from Baltimore to San Francisco. It is a task of hugo pro portions. It must cross the Slerrss with a line that shall be cheap to operate. The only railway that crosses this range in central territory ' to-day la the Central Pacific built thore than forty years ago by the California pio neers. It climbs almost Into the eternal snows, then slides swiftly down Into the region of eternal-summer. As yet the difficult parts of the new Western Pacific are little more than surveys, but the rep6rte that come out of the West Indicate success. If the engineers finally secure a line through the 8ierrss with a mlxiraum grade of only fifty-five feet to the mile, the new road will nndiubtedly revolutionise the carrying of through freight from Bait Lake to San Fran cisco.

' ,'? ., A hew-solution of the theatre hat problem has been devised during the last season by the proprietor of the oasino at one of the - Mediterranean watering places. He made no attempt to compel women to' remove ; their hats. Hatted or hatless, they were al lowed to enter the auditorium without Question'- X-:-. , -;,",, ; . t The rule was rigidly enforced, how ever, that all twomen wearing hate should take seats on (he left hand. side of the house, while those woo were bare beaded were placed on the right,. Naturally, all man unaccom panied by-women Joined the hatless crowd on the right, so that the left hand half of the audience waa practi cally a solid mass of hats. -" The women who were seated there found It absolutely Impossible to see the stage. The e-aps which the hat less usually furnished In the barrier of finery were lacking and when they tried to peep between tne nets lm mediately in front of them those fur ther forward blocked their vision. After a few object lessons of this sort the left side of the house became practically empty every night, and the rule fell into disuse tor lack or oc caslon v- - '' ' WHITE MOB AFTER A NEGRO. Many In the Colony Fled as the Crowd Fired Shot In the Air. Casey, III.. Special to New Tork Her ald, list. A mob crrine "Death to the ne groes!" was formed here to-day and marched into the negro district or tne town, after officials had addressed them In a vain effort to calm them and Induce them to return to their homes. The negroes, however, had been warned of the mob's coming, and most of them had fled Into the country. The others barricaded themselves In their homes. The mob fired shots In the air, but none of them was harmed. Ill feeling toward the blacks hss been growing for several months as a result of various crimes committed by the negroes. Including two attempted attacks on white women. This 111 feeling burst all bounds of restraint when it became known to-day that a negro insulted a white girl, daughter of a prominent white family. Friends and relatives of the girl organized a lynching party and started out to cap ture the man, but he had fled. WUd Duck With Gold in Craw. Dowsan Daily News. Gold in the craw of a wild duck killed on the Klondike flata Friday Is the latest sensation. The duck was killed by Jack Lee while on his wsy from the north fork of the Klondike. Col. Williams of the Bonanza Hasln dredge bought the duck with a num ber of othern. On opening the craw the colonel waa surprised to find twf Ive gold colors there. Where the duck got the gold Is a question. It Is known there Is gold on the Klondike river bottom, but probably not so plentiful In any one known spot as to permit a duck to pan twelve colors with one crop full of sand. The duck Is a widgeon. It doubt less was on lu way Kouth with other birds of paanage. Somewhere in the vaot north. It appears, that duck must have fed on golden sands which would he a halcyon spot for the eager prospector. Townacml-Howlc, at Dne West, S. C. Special to The Observer. Due West, 8. C. Oct 21. The wed- ding of Miss Annie Bowie snd Mr. W. A. Townsend was solemnised last Wednesdsy afternoon. The simple but impressive words that bound the young couple together were sprtken by Rev, D. O. Caldwell, professor of Latin and French in Ersklne. The house was tastefully deAratd for the occasion. Quite a number of out-of-town guesta were present to witness the ceremony. After the marriage a reception wan-tendered at the home of the bride s mother. The bride was formerly In charge of the telephone exchange here. She is a most charming young woman and has qualities of deposition that win and hold her a large circle of friends. Mr. Towhsend is a very prosperous buslnees man of Donalds, S. C, and a clever and, genial gentle man, who numbers friends by the score. All or these Join In congratu lations to the happy young couple. After the marriage and reception Mr. and Mrs. Townsend left on a bridal trip. Upon their return they mill make their home at Donalds, where the groom has a lucrative po sition. German Death Test. Scientific Amerlcsn. Although it Is asserted by nearly every practising physician that the possibility of being burled alive can only occur where a medical examina tion has not been made, an eminent Qorman physician and surgeon states that a stronger, absolutely reliable guarantee for discerning actual death still demanded, and the demand has been met by the discovery of a new medium for ascertaining death with perfect certainty. This new deat htest consists In In ectlng a solution of fluoresclne deep nto the tissues. If circulation exists the skjn and mucous membranes be come very yellow end tho eyes aa sume the color of emeralds; If the circulation has ceased none of these results' occur. The discoverer proposes that at ast two hours before the body Is placed In a-coffin euch an Injection with fluoresclne be made. If life Is not yet extinct the Injection does no harm and the coloring within a hort time entirely disappears with out the slightest Injury to the patient.
