The following official announcement was made today concerning the new route to e taken toy the new Paclilc line of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway. The new line, it is estimated, will be about 2000 miles in. length and it is expected that it will be completed as far as Butte, Mont., by January 1, 1908, and that trains will be in operation over the entire line one year later. Contracts liet for Work. Contracts have been let for the con struction work and track has been laid from Olenham, S. D., to a point about 20 miles west of the Missouri River. The road will cross the Mis souri River 12 miles west of Glennam and then for about 40 miles follows the line of Oak Creek and its tribu taries, and then parallels the line be tween North and South Dakota,. for 50 miles. The state line between - North Dakota and Montana, will be crossed about eight miles west of Little Mis souri River. Four miles': east of 'Terrey,' Mont, the' new road will cross ,the Northern Paclflo by passing overhead. It is probable that division headquarters will be established at Miles City, Mont.

The line follows the St. Joe River to within a few miles of its mouth and crosses the Idaho-Washington line near Tekoa, Wash. The Columbia River will be crossed by & bridge of 15 spans, having a total length of 2750 feet. About -0 miles west of the Columbia River a tunnel 3400 feet In length will be constructed and another two miles in length will be built at Snoqualmie Pass.

Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul officials yesterday gave out an authoritative an nouncement of their completed plans for building from Glenham, S. D., 89 -miles West of Aberdeen, to Seattle. Construc tion work to Butte is to t8 completed by January 1, 1908, and to Seattle a year lat er. It is shown in this authorized state ment that the Montana Railroad has been taken over by the St. Paul line and will be radically revised, much curvature and many grades being eliminated. At Sum mit Station, 40 miles West of Harlow ton. the Belt Mountains are crossed at a maximum height of 5800 feet. The road is to enter Seattle over the tracks of the Columbia & Puget Sound from Maple Valley, a branch to Tacoma being con structed from Black River Junction. Like the former announcement of the line surveyed from Glenham to Butte, the official statement does not go beyond the route absolutely determined. Nothing is said of the projection to Portland, which has been Jnferentially confirmed in pre vious announcements of the high officials of the St,, Paul. Nor is. there anything in the, statement that confirms the report of an alliance with the Harriman sysem and a joint 'occupancy of tracks leading into Portland. President Barling on his last visit to ' Seattle absolutely refused to discuss the Portland extension, but he stated broadly that his line would tap all important places in the Northwest. Broadly, the line west of Buttei will fol low Deer Lodge. Hellgate, Missoula and St. Regis Rivers to Athe St. . Paul pass through the Bitter' Root'Mountains, which are crossed through a tunnel S500 feet in length at a height of S0O feet. The St Joe River is followed to the Washington line Just north, of Tekoa, and then the line runs almost direct-to -a point above Llnd, where It crosses the Columbia River. A bridge 2750 feet in length, with con crete piers and of 1000-foot approaches on each Bide, will span the Columbia.

The St. Paul will not touch Yakima, but it runs only a slight distance , north of Ellensburg and paralels the Northern Pa cific - to Snoqualmie Pass. At Johnson Summit. 20 miles west of the Columbia River, there will be a tunnel 3400 feet in length, and at Snoqualmie Pass 4here will eventually be bored a tunnel two miles in length. This tunnel will have a maxi mum elevation of . 2690 feet, but for the present the contractors are building a line across the summit of the pass at an ele vation of 3010 feet. The "tote" road will be done away with as soon as possible. The line down the west elde of the Cas cades to a Juncture with the Columbia & 'Puget Sound tracks at Maple Valley has been described before. Will Improve Santa Fe Road. CHICAGO, Dec 8. The Tribune . to day says: The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway is making preparations for large expenditures In 1907 on exten sive improvements all along its sys tem. Its outlays for double-tracking, extension, new equipment, etc., prob ably will aggregate $25,000,000. The double-tracking of its main line from Chicago to Kansas City will be pushed rapidly. A new line will be built from Texlco, New Mexico, to Brownsville, .Tex., giving the Sahta 'Fe the shortest route between San Francisco and Gal veston. The Santa Fe has placed or ders for equipment which raises its outstanding orders to 19,000,000. It is also proposed to extend the block signal service. , Will Pay Cash for Advertising. . ' TOKEPA, Kas., Dec. 8. Announce ment is made today by W. J. Black, passenger traffic manager of the Atchi son, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad, that, beginning January 1, 1907. the Santa Fe Railroad will pay for all advertising in newspapers, magazines and. on bill boards and elsewhere in cash rather than In transportation. .. "We were largely . influenced in making this decision," said Mr. Black, "by the Interstate Commerce Com mission's decision, holding that the law forbids the issuance of interstate trans portation for anything but money. The new policy, we estimate, will in crease the appropriation from 8100,000 to perhaps 8500,000 by the close of the coming year." East River Tunnel Bores Joined. NEW YORk, Dec. 8. Manhattan and Brooklyn . boroughs were connected under the East River today by the piercing of the last section which separated the ends of the north tube of the tunnel of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Extension 75 feet beneath the surface of the river.

Con version . of the Illinois Tunnel Com pany's property Into a railway passen ger subway operated by electrical en gines and under the control or tne Har riman syndicate, is the ultimate aim of the great consolidation moves recently made. It was revealed In a report sub mitted by Corporation Counsel J, Ham ilton Lewis today to the .Council gas, oil and electric ligbt committee. Colonel Lewis' message came as the result of a secret Investigation which he carried on recently in the City of New York. Consolidate AU Electric Power. A general consolidation of all the electrical power interests In the city is included in the proposition as it ap pears today, with the idea of increas ing the facilities of the tunnel as much as possible in the way of handling freight by using electric motor engines. Colonel Lewis' opinion on the proposed use of the tunnel refers to future ac quisition of street and underground privileges. While the Corporation Counsel would not give out all the Information he had secured in reference to converting the tunnel into a passenger subway, it was declarediby others- in his office that the ultimate' aim Is to use the property for the Harriman railroad Interests, after equipping such lines with . electric engines. ' All Under Harriman's Control. j Colonel : Lewis asserts that he has found proof that negotiations have been under way m -New York to consolidate the Commonwealth- ..and the - Edison companies with the Tunnel, Company, under control of what has been called the Harriman syndicate. The Aldermen deny flatly that the Harriman syndicate Is backed by the Standard Oil. Company Interests. It was pointed out that the General Elec tric Company, was not - interested in the Chicago deal, as those Interests are bucked by J'. Pierpont Morgan. Mr. Lewis stated he had learned from reliable sources !n New . York that the Commonwealth:. Electric Company Is to pas into the hands of the Edison Com pany by the purchase of the stock of one company in behalf of the other, and that these interests when- amalgamated are to pass into the hands of the Harriman in terests, and then combine with the inter ests now existing in the names of the Illi nois Telephone & Telegraph Company and the Illinois Tunnel Company. The first named company controls the antomatlc telephone system in the city, and the lat ter the subway for the handling of freight and mails.

A dispatch to the Tribune from San Francisco says: Cal ifornia regards the Japanese imbroglio as practically settled, and, while believ ing the present crisis has been bridged over, expects and predicts war between the United States and Japan within five years.

WOULD WELCOME CITIZENSHIP Viscount Aoki Says Japanese Arc Eager for Naturalization. WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. Favorable ac tion by Congress on the recommendation of the President in his last annual mes sage that an act be passed specifically providing for the naturalization of Jap anese who come to the United States in tending to become American citizens, will go far toward securing a continuance of the traditional friendly relations between this country and Japan. In the opinion of Viscount Aoki, the Japanese Ambas sador. "Of course," said Viscount Aoki, to day, "no nation likes to see its subjects leave to take up a permanent abode in a foreign land and lose all relation witn the fatherland, but in many cases it can not be helped." The Ambassador expressed the belief that there were not so many Japanese in this country to take advantage of natu ralization if It were granted, but he thought that such an opportunity should be afforded them along with the citizens of other countries. He said he did not think it probable that those Japanese who were emigrating In large number to Ha waii and the Pacific Coast would avail themselves of naturalization, because of the fact that they represented the poorer classes, and most of them ultimately re turned to Japan. Viscount Aoki said he had every confidence In the outcome of the test case which will be brought in the California courts. Japanese Praise Roosevelt. SEATTLE, Wash., Deo. 8. The Seattle Japanese Business Men's Association to day sent the following telegram to Presi-' dent Roosevelt: "We send our hearty thanks for what you have expressed in your message relating to our country. The friendship between the united States and Japan has been strengthened, and your name shall be long remembered among our countrymen as foremost In humanity and high civilization." - - BISHOP SEYMOUR IS DEAD Noted Episcopal Church Dignitary a Victim of Pneumonia.

CATARRH soon destroys the elas ticity of the mucous membrane, producing a flabby- condition. This leads to watery secretions, sometimes thickened mucous, and constitutes al together a very disagreeable condition. It makes no difference whether the catarrh is confined to the nose, head or throat, or whether it is located in the lungs, stomach or bowels. The essen tial condition is the same.

That suit as you may Imagine Was when given to me one of the worst or best Examples of the Tailor's Notching you could Imagine. In the first place it haiPnot been eut properly. In some places the Cloth was Scant In others too much Cloth had been allowed. When being made up these Cutting Mistakes had been Exaggerated. And when the Suit came to me Oh Dear!' Oh Dear!! It was the worst Looking Thing I oyer saw. Well, I went to Work I Shrunk the Cloth here and I Stretched it There. I Pressed and I Sizzled Until I had the Smoothest Thing In Suits you ever Saw. I was as proud of that Job as "Saggy" was ; Only poor "Saggy" didn't know what he was Up Against That's him now And that's the Suit I "doped" up to sen him Only now the "dope" Is all gone And the Old Suit looks like it did before I got at it See how Saggy the Left Lapel is Look at the Twist in the Collar and the slope and lumpiness of the shoulders See the wavy Curves and Wrinkles around the Arms and down the Front. Look at the Twists In the Sleeves Say, on the Level Isn't it a Fright? Of course that Suit Might have been made right. For a very few Clothes Are made right Only it Costs like fury that's why rm In such demand For my "dope" Is Cheap But among the Clothes that are made) right Are "Sincerity Clothes" I don't have a "look in" on Sincerity Clothes TT. . 1 A . ... ... . x ur lucy go lu irors wiia m Blow ua expensive Hand Process And actually sew the Shape Into a Suit They needle mould it and the Shape simply Can't leave the Suit The Style and Fit remain in a Sincerity Suit Until you're anxious to look at a different kind of cloth. It takes the Sincerity Clothiers ten times as long to sew the shape Into the Fabric of the suit as it takes ma to "dope" the Shape in temporarily. Arul what's the difference anyway the Customer can't tell when he's buying That is, unless he knows the test for right clothes the "Sincerity" Clothiers give. The same test used by all expert tailors to tell whether or not a suit has been made properly It will queer my Job altogether if every body gets on to that Test But I guess people won't think of writing to the Sincerity Clothiers In Chicago for that test although the address is given on the label below.
