the proposals come in.
Mr. Fenton suggested that City En

THIS .''.WOMAN iS HOMESICK
. V ,
Railroad jotiiclals receive , some Very
singular' letters. They are. of all shade
of. human temperament, . Some' are , pa
thetic while others, are humorous., What
makes the latter all the funnier is tb
fact that thsy ars not Intended te be
so, ' One of- ths members of the Portland
railroad -colony received a letter the other
day from a woman, in little town In
Washington, , which says, - among other
tlUngs: - '," - ;
4T writ you t tell you how I'm plaosd,
and would ilk to see if yon can help s
poor woman out. My people are m "

for me to go for ths simple reason that
I'll never come back. And now I want to
know the lowest down figures on a ticket.
Think t can get,th money if th rates

It Is to be hoped that this woman who
longs so ardently for her old home has
had her wishes gratified, even If she
never does' come back to her husband. A
