A Chinese Tramway Scheme
Recently the Chinese papers have
contained references to a scheme for
running tramways over the Chinese
bund at Shanghai and also to a pro
posal to serve the city by the same
neans of locomotion. From inquiries
which have been made it Is learned
that the first part of the scheme is
now in hand and at a comparatively
arly date will be an accomplished
fact, but in regard to the city trams,
this is entirely a project for the fu
ture. To undertake the work of run
ning cars on the Chinese bund a com
pany was started some three months
ago under the name of tho Compagnie
Chinoise de Tramways. Its capital is
5400,000, and on its board of direc

Including, it is interesting to mention,
several who have a fluent knowledge
of French. At present this company

down a trick from the southern end
of the French bund, where the bound

this creek. Upon reaching the main

distance from the river, the lines will
turn to the south. For a short way
this street Is separated from the
wharves by a row of godowns, but as
soon as those are passed the thorough

out to where it again turns inland on
its way to the railway station and the
approaches to the arsenal. From the
north end of the Chinese bund the
track will run double for a distance
of about 1650 meters, but thereafter
it will be a single line. Its complete

of the world. Zbysko. the great Pol

a tour of the northwest and the Pen

to box for their members with some
northwest boy.
Bud Anderson, the lightweight who
has been beating them all on the
coast is after a date and the wires are
hot looking for a suitable opponent.
Montana Kid, who had a newspaper
decision over Jack Carpenter, is also
on the list. It Is probable that he
and Anderson will box here late this
month.
Charles Jost is now at Portland and
will make the round of the P. N. A.

fifteen rounds with Billy Gaffney,

he afforded for a comparison be
tween these two great little boxers.

members of the boxing and wrestling
classes, who will go three rounds and
the rapid advancement made among
the club boys In boxing and wrestling
promise a surprise to those who do
not regularly attend the club.
Young Hackensmith will wrestle

HOW CURTAIN'S MAY
.BE CLEAVED AT HOME
Those who dwell In large towns
and cities fjnd it necessary to const
antly hang curtains at the windows.
The house then appears fresh and
bright within and from without.
If curtains are sent to the laundry
they are a heavy drain on the house
keeping resources. When made of
madras, swlss, muslin or dimtty, they
can easily be laundered at home.
Begin 'by shaking them well out of
doors. In this manner all the super
fluous" dust can be removed.
Prepare a tubful of warm water in

Just a few Suggestions
We turtllully solicit tho patron ngt of women an well as men.
Workingmens Clothing Co.
ALWAYS HAS
which a half cake of white soap has
been dlsolved. Souse the curtains up
and down In this, and when tho water
becomes black change to a second tub
of suds. If the curtains are very
much soiled they will require a third
tub of suds. Allow them to remain In
this for an hour.
Rinse in two tubfuls of clear water,
the last of which should have a small
amount of cooked starch and a few
drops of bluing added.
Hang in the sun to bleach and dry
thoroughly before removing them
from the line.
Sprinkle well and fold, that the
dampness may be evenly absorbed.
To successfully Iron long curtains,
place, a blanket over the kitchen table
and fasten a clean sheet over this.
Pull each curtain into shape before
ironing. Nothing looks worse than
curtains which do not hang evenly.
Use hot irons and rub them over
paraffine wax to prevent the starch
from sticking.
First Iron the plain portion of the
curtain and then the frills.
If the curtains are plain, iron, the
deep hem first, so that it will hang
straight. '
