Th a'Vipm'xUli.i fft lhi lint were very poor, but when ever a demand for belter -rm wit tr ade the am mi met by the railroad people with the terec tjrped excuM that "this branch it not upon a paying bi." Tb patron of thl branch finally took matter into tbHr own hn! and about three years aeo u-edd in interesting capital in an electric line between fpokan and Coeur d Alene. Tbh line ha now teen in operation about two years and is paying so well that the same cai talint art now constructing several line out of Spokane. And in con nection it is Interesting to note that the Northern Pacific has doub led its service on the brar.ch line siio th electrio line baa been in operation. And, alao, that the country traversed by these lines is not nearly so heavily populated nor can it supply the traffic which thia valley does. Portland is a Urper citv than Snokane. and in- r j a , stead of only one good town being on the brancn line as is the cae on this Northern Pacific branch, this valley has dozens of better town. Better transportation fa cilities would make a wonderful change in this valley within a ccuple of years.- Amity Advance. Still Another Big Bottom Hop Yard The acreage oi hops on the Hirschberg place is now 203. There are 113 acres of old hops and 180 acres of new set out this nrintr. In Doint of acreage, this w f D - is now the third largest yard this side the river, ine nops on mis place are being cultivated by C. A. McLaughlin" and Dave Dove, ex perienced hop growers. Dove has leased 72 acres of tearing bops and McLaughlin 41 acres of old and 180 of new, making 221 acres, lie sides the 203 acres already in hops this place has 270 acres more of hop land and should prices hold up another year with good pros- pects still aneaa icr me vreguu hop it,U not improbable the re maining acreage will be set to hops. . . Should this be done, mere wouia be on the Hirschberg place 563 acres of hops in one unbroken yard. This would mafce a yam larger than the Horst Bros, or even the Krebs yard. Mr. McLaughlin is now working a crew of 16 men with Clyde Flukes as foreman. Fiye teams are in use, four cultivating and one doing a general transfer business.

Clara E Clodfelter and husband nangry, uui The excuse offered by the rail road people for their failure to sup ply more adequate train service on the west side divisions, is that these divisions are not on a pay ing basis. That might have been .u oo ft fw vears aeo. but there has been a wonderful change and the increase in both passenger and freight traffic since that time is plainly apparent to any observing person. Every person who travels on these lineB knows that not only A tV i rail mad people not com ma . . polled to haul empty coaches, but ... i , Aitnf. as a rule the coacnes mo crowded. Neither is there much " freight1 cars. naming v r-j t nf this it is difficult to con 111 (lOH V vino, the people along these iines . it. j:.,;c;nnD "are not on a tnao tun uni"""" paying basis." On the contrary, one can scarcely conceive how these divisions can fail to be paying well.
