An Oddity la Railroading.
"The erase for fast time on railways
Is taking a new feature," observed a
prominent railroad official to Star
writer recently. "It is the shortening
of lines and reconstruction of surveys
in order to make a given line as
straight as possible between two points.
It is, in fact, a scheme to make time
by saving distance. A railway with
out curve or a cutting is, of course, a
splendid thing from an engineering
standpoint, but it is very tedious
affair to the passenger. To thoroughly
realise how extremely monotonous a
long journey on a railway without a
curve or cutting is, one must travel on
the road from Buenos Ayres to the
Andes. That railroad beats ail known
records for having 200 miles of tracks
almost on a line, such as mathemati
clans describe as the shortest distance
between any two points. No one who
has not seen this remarkable stretch of
road, straight in front and behind as
far as the eye can reach, even when
aided by a field glass, can grasp what it
means or what an amount of wearisome
monotony it involves and entails."

An Excellent Combination.
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Hjuvt op Flos, manufactured by the
CauroiWA. Fio Strop Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing fig's
are nsed, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plant, by a method
known to the California Fie Svrup
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid imitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

Tha Stag Robbery.
It transpired that Van C. Alexander,
the man who gave up $170 of the money
stolen from the United States mails on
the stage near Wsstfall. Or., on Sep
tember 22, is admittedly the main per
son responsible for the hold-up. The
indications during the examination in
United States Commissioner Hailey
court here on Saturday, pointing to
Alexander as the one planning the rob
bery, with the two boys as his acoom
plices, are confirmed by the develop
ments. It is announced here that this
phase of the case will be called to the
attention of Judge Bellinger, of the
federal court at Portland, before whom
the two boys are to be tried.
Big- Steam Heating Finns.
Upwards of $600,000 is to be spent
by the Boston capitalists who have par-
chased the plant of the Seattle Steam
Heat & Power Company, and six of
the street railway lines of Seattle, in
the erection of a new and modern power
plant and in the rebuilding and the
distributing system. This part of the
plant will be almost wholly reoon'
itructed, new mains being laid in con'
formity with the latest ideas of steam
sngineering. This is but the beginning
jf large improvements which - will be
made. Plans are now being drawn for
the new building and plant, which will
be finished by January 1, and for the
rebuilding of several of the street car
lines recently purchased.
Holloaed Sustained.
Judge Burnett, of Salem, has sus
tained a motion for non-suit against
the plaintiff in the case of L. II. Mc-
Mahon vs. The Canadian Pacific Rail
way Company. The action was begun
to recover about $550, alleged to be due
the plaintiff on account of advertising
in the Woodbnrn Independent and the
Salem Independent. The defense
claimed that the agent who made a
contract far the advertising had no an
thonty to do so, and that the newspa
per company was to take pay in trans-
portation.
Labor Scare at Fairs avea.
Labor is so scarce in Fairhaven
Wash., that railroad contractors and
others are delaying work on various
enterprises until more plentiful supply
of workmen are to be had a change
from three years ago, when laboring
men were sitting around on the curb
stones, waiting for something to torn
up. Fairhaven's pay roll is almost 16
times larger than it was two years ago,
with a certainty of an increase next
year.
Hlllsboro Tonng Man Hart.
Charles V. Doughty, a young man
and resident of Hillsboro, Or., while
riding a bicycle at a rapid rate over a
crosswalk, was thrown from his wheel
and seriously injured. He was render
ed unconscious for about two hoars,
and received a deep cut across the left
eye and his upper up was badly laeer
ated. The wheel was completely de
molished. Young Doughtv was a mem
ber of company H, Second Oregon vol
unteers, and enlisted from Hillsboro.
Landlorda Smiling.
Portland hotels are generally doing
a good business these exposition times,
and would soon be filled to overflowing
were it not that guests keep going away
as well as coming in. About two days
is the average length of the out-of-town
visitor's stay in the city, and his place
is taken just about as quickly as he has
vacated. The principal hotels have
good long lists of names on the daily
registers.
A Xlnety-Found Pumpkin.
A clothing house at New Whatcom,
Wash., gave farmers pumpkin seeds
last spring, and offered five prizes for
largest results. The first prize went to
R. D. Perry, of Clearbrook, whose
pumpkin weighed 80 pounds; second,
Cal Watkinson, of Edison, 88 pounds;
third, Cyrus Bradley, of Lynden, 61
pounds. The fourth and fifth weighed
42 and 37 pounds respectively.
Gold Hill Water Ditch.
Engineer J. 6. Howard, of Medford,
Or., has completed the survey of the
Gold Hill water ditch. He employed
parry of 12 men, who completed the
permanent survey in 93 days. Much
interest is shown in the ditch, not only
by local enterprise, but by many East
ern capitalists, who are ready to invest
money in it.
To Propagate Steelhead.
The Willapa hatchery will be com
pleted this week. As steelheads are
more numerous in Willapa river than
in any other stream in this section, a
special effort will be made to propagate
then here, and to stock other streams
form this hatchery. The propagation
of steelheads has not as yet been at
tempted in any Washington hatchery.
Catches All the Fish.
Lew and Sanford Alayhew have one
of their floating traps located near the
Point Francis portage, near Whatcom,
Wash. It has 800-foot leads and
catches all the fish that come its way.
The boys Ray the trap's success is as
sured, and they will have it towed
farther up the Sound, where the fall
run of fish is bettef.
A potato phenomenon Is being dis
played in Colfax, Wash. The growth
consists of several large vines, on which
there are scores of potatoes ranging in
size from a bird's egg to s man's fist.
The potatoes grow entirely, above, in
stead of under the ground.
The exports from Tacoma last week
included 2,100 tons of coal to Honolu
lu, 5.000 tons of wheat and barley to
Antwerp, and 4,000,000 feet of lumber
to Honolulu. The imports were 8,000
tons of tea, silk and curios.
Tha Sunday Law,
The cases at Fairhaven, Wash..
against Loux and Beck for violating
the Sunday law have been stricken
from the docket, the evidence treinx
deemed insufficient to convict. Iior
genson Bros., who run a bar in connec
tion with a hotel, were tried and ac
quitted.
Dynamiter at Work.
It is retported that dynamiters are

A War-Tlwe Mistake,
In a Missouri court recently a rather
novel case cams up for decision. Dur
ing tha civil war a certain Northern
soldier went into the service, leaving a
young wife at home. In due tints the
news reached him that his brlds had
died and when the war ended be did
not return to his old home, but settled
out West. He married again, and with
his second wife accumulated large
amount of property in Aratt county.
Not long airo he learned that his first
wife had not diud, but, supposing him
to have been killed, had married an
other man. This man ditxl, leaving
her a widow. When the Pratt, county
man learned these facta he brought suit
for divorce, and the woman in the East
heard of it and went out and fought
the case, asserting a claim to part of
the Pratt county man's prorty.
However, after the lawyers had made
a great fight before him, the judge
granted the divorce and loft the Pratt
county man free to marry the woman
who has Ireen living with him (or many
