FINISHED AT END OF 1908 Grading From East and West Ends, From Montana and From Ellens burg Northern Pacific Will Carry Most of Material. NEW YORK, May 10. (Special,) The route to be followed by the St. Paul Rail road from the Missouri River to Seattle has been practically decided upon. It will he made public in full detail when the agents of road have completed the taking of options on property needed at various points for right of way, yards, division terminals, etc. It appears that most of the benefit of the construction traffic will accrue to the Northern- Pacific. The work la to be pushed from four points at once, and perhaps from five. Grading Is now going on from Bvarts, 3. ., 400 miles west over the Montana line. The second divi sion starts in. Montana and carries the "instruction west almost to the Idaho line. From Seattle eastward the engi neers! have carried the surveys through the Cascades and active work Is under way. From Ellensburg, on the Yakima River in Washington, grading Is expect ed to begin near the eastern boundary of Washington within the next few days. The Northern Pacific will carry prac tically all the construction material used in the second division of tfhls work and on the two sections from Seattle and Kllenshurg. The Pacific Coast Company, through the Columbia' & Puget Sound Railroad, will share in the carrying of business for the section from Seattle. It Is no wllkely the middle division across Idaho will be . built east -and west from the Northern Pacific and Oregon Short Line around Lewiston. - None of these sections Is over BOO miles in length. If work la pushed with all possible speed on all of them at once, the St. Paul should have a completed line to the Pacific ocean by the end of 1908. All the estimates on the expenditures thin 'year are under the amount of the cash surplus at the end of 1905. PEABODY WILL TELL ALL President of Mutual Life Witness Against Old Management. .

Time was when the linen weave could not be imitated with any degree of fidelity by cotton looms. A glance of even the non-expert eye could detect the difference. Now it's been accomplished cotton has taken on the linen look, and it requires more than a casual look to fell .that it isn't linen. The imitation is so clever that careless or unscrupulous stores can pass it off as linen on the unwary, unless the price puts 'em on their guard. You know what you pay for at Olds, Wort man & King's.
