Newspaper Page Textm i Railway Drawn on Paper That is to Enter City of Walla Walla Two Directions. Another railioad on paper is being built. This time the road centers at Walla Walla, reports giving two ter minals to the garden city. The Union says one of them to be known as the Walla Walla-Spokane branch and the other as the Walla WaJla-Pnget Sonnd Branch. This information has only recently beeu gleaned by the Walla Walla paper through a newspaper in terview with President Robert E. Strahorn. of the North Coast road, who is quoted as follows in this regard : "At suitable piouts in the Big Bend what oonntry.the North Coast is pro jecting branches which will insure it a fair share of the great traffic of that section. Our engineers ate now at work on a new branch in this region on which the company has but recent ly decided. This line will be about CO miles long and is planned to leave the main line at a point some miles south of EitzviUe, passing through that place, and on through Harrington to Davenport. This branch is not as yet entirely surveyed. "The North Coast is scouring a short line from a point near EitzviUe on the Spokane-Columbia river division, south to Walla Walla. And not only does this line furnish a Walla Walla-Spokane route about 40 miles shorter than any existing rnte but has the same high standard of light grades and curvature whiob has been adhered to on the main lines. The great attention being given at the engineering and right-of-way work on the Spokane Walla Walla line, as well as on the Walla Walla Pnget sound line. "The Spokane and Palouse branch of the North Coast, following the easy grades and very direct route almost a straight line f nrnshed by Hangman creek, gives it an ideal line into the Palouse country for example, some eight miles shorter between Spokane and Tekoa than existing lines, with a maximum grade of six-tenths per cent against grades of over two per oent on the others." In case the plans as announced by President Strahorn are carried out, Walla Walla will be given better rail road service than had been expected, one branch of the new transportation line entering from the west and the Spo kane branoh from the north. The sur vey of this road, as first completed, shows the proposel line to Walla Walla from Fuget Sonnd, but the proposed extension from Kitzville to Walla Walla is not given ou late railroad maps, showing the action of the officials to have been an afterthought. Work on the entire system is being carried ou satisfactorily, and every effort is being put forth to eliminate heavy grades which have proved to be undesirable in roads already iu opera tion in southeastern Washington. PLAGES A BAN OK CORSETS First Lady of the Land Opposes Gar ment for Hygienic Reasons. Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt bus essayed the role of reformer. It is not the railroads, the corporations nor the nature fakirs that have fallou under the ban of the first lady of the laud. Aooordiug to friends, the president's wife has decided to disoard her corsets. All 'he feminine instruments of tor ture in her wardrobe will be thrown into the garbage heap and she will hereafter wage unoeasing warfare against them." If Mrs. Roosevelt is suooessful in her crusade, the corset will be relegated to the limbo of anti quity, along with the hoop-skirt and the bustle. As a result, the wusp-like waists bids fair to go out of fashion, and the Venus form, long admired, but seldom emulated, is to have its inning. Airs. Roosevelt's aotion as a sartorial reformer is not without precedent. When Mrs. Cleveland was America's first lady, she placed an eternal taboo on the bustle and put the ban of official displeasure on that hideous in strument of deformity. At that time the bustle had grown to enormous size and caused the American woman to assume a resemblance to the hump backed ship of the desert. Mrs. Clev eland's example was speedily followed by the nation's femininity and the bustle became a baok number. The oposition of Mrs. Roosevelt to the coreetis based on hygienic faots not unrelated to the subject of race suicide. She believes that the com pressing of vital organs by means of stays has become a positive menace and a crime against future genera tions. Such a crusade will not be without its effect on the financial world, since millions of dollars are in vested in corset manufacture in this country, and any attempt to bring these articles of feminine attire into disrepute will not be accomplished without a determined fight on part of the vested or "corseted" interests of the nation. Bickers Receives Appointment. The appointment of Harry E. Bickers as superintendent of the state reform school has been announoed. ' Mr. Bickers was appointed to this position during the administration of Governor Geer and began the administration of bis duties in the early part of 1899. At the end of his term' be was superced ed by N. H. Loonev, of Marion county, and his re-appointment after an interim of four years is a splendid testimonial to good service performed. Rev. Bard Resigns. Rev. Andreas Bard has resigned as principal of St. Pauls school at Walla Walla, and the prinoipalsbip has been aooepted by Miss Anna E. Plympton, M. A., who comes from a prominent position in Miss Porter's famous school at Farmington, Conn. Miss Plympton declined a flattering offer of a profes sorship at Wellesley College in order to take charge of the garden city school. Long Live The King! is the popular cry throughout European countries; while in America, the cry of the present day is "Long live Dr. King's New Discovery, King of Throat and Luig Remedies 1" of which Mrs. Julia Rydre Paine, Truro, Mass., says: "It never fails to give immediate re lief and to quickly cure a cough or cold." Mrs. Paine's opinion is shared by a majority of the inhabitants of this country. New discovery cures weak lungs and sore throats after all other remedies have failed; and for coughs and colds it's the proven reme dy. Guaranteed by Wm. MoBride. Druggist. 50o and $1.00.
