Throo BINGEN BOOMING ON NORTH BANK Tbe Glacier man dropped into liio geo one day last week aud found that lifely burg iDHkiug gieat plan ior the future, and optiuiUtio In regard to what tbe North liunk road wa going to do for tbe plaoe. . luesda, Novum ber 12, marked tbe date of tbe Oral traiu iuto Uiugeo, follow log tbe ma chine which lays track as fast at a alow walk. It wag a great day for Bingen. The whole country turned out to celebrate tbe event, and it did certainly look good to tbe old settlera who have waited for a railroad for thirty yeara White Salmon waa in evidence and shared in tbe joya of tbe community. I he aoboola of White Salmon and Bingen closed for tbe day and allowed tbe children to walcb the wonderful machine lay track. At bingen mile of sidetrack waa laid first and then followed tbe main traok, after which tbe tiack laying waa continued to Underwood, wbinb waa reached Friday afternoon. Ibe crew waa bold up for a day by not having timbers for tbe culreits. Tem porary timbers and trestle are being put in over culverts and streams, tbe steel bridges to be put in after the toad bed ia ballasted, ao that the work can be handled more economic ally. While waiting for tbe temporary bridge at Underwood, a number of aide tracka will be put in at bingen. It ia said that about twelve iriilea ot sidetrack will be laid at that place, i'bia leads tbe residents to believe tbat great things are in atoie for bin gen. This will give Biuged more trackage than any place between Vancouver and P9on. Tbe etiuation of bingeu ia ideal for a town. Tbe land is practically level, there is good spring water in abondanoe, and is one of tbe few places ou tbe North Bank where tbe railroad company bave room for tracks and buildings. If aoy one outBide ot the otUoials of the company have any knowledge of tbe intentions of the company, bow ever, tbey are not saying much, but from tbe moves tbat have been made around tbe town a number have either positive knoweldge or great - faith in tbe futuie. One instance ia tbe big prices recently obtained for choice business property. . J. E. Reynolds last week purchased the corner lot west of his present store building, and the oonsideiation named in the deed is 81800. This gives Mr. Key n old b six business cornets and in all be is now tbe owner ot fourteen choice lots. The Joslyn Improvement Co. bave also spent a large sum of money in tbe purcbaa of tbe byrkett property, hive built a tine saw mill aud either bave unbounded faith in the future or iiavo Inside information tbat would warrant them iu investing so heavily. While it la not expected' thut a through regular schedule of passonger trains will be rui through until apring, arrangements are being made to get ready for the business tbat will come with tbe establisbme"t of pas senger tratHo. M. Morris is a new comer and has purchased tbe new store building of the Swan-Hamnau Lumber Co., which was built last spring but never completed. Mr. Mor ris ii finishing up tbo front and put in a stock ot furniture aud bard ware as soon as completed. L. E. t isber, who owns a couple ot tusiness lots, - but is now in Seattle, expi cts to return in tbe spring, put op a building and start a newspaper Mr. Fisher ia an old printer and newspaper man from St. Paul, Minn , and a bustler. Penn Conser, a barber, who recent ly arrived bere from Bultrog,' Nov., baa opened a barber shop in the old howling alley building. Mr. Reynolds is putting up a new building at the icr of bis store building, one room or nbicti will be ooopied by Mr. Co liter with bia barber shop and bath rooms, and tbe o her store room will be used as a butcher shop. Mr. and Mrs. Dr. Cooper, of Mat! i tou, Colo, arrived iu bingen a wei.k ago aud tre investigating the proposi tion of putting in a sanitarium on tie first bench back of the town. It is ao ideal site tor an institution of tthis kind. There is a large level tract :at an elevatiou ot a hundred feet - or wore above the town, and but a quar ter of a milt from tbe dopot, where tine grounds could be laid out, aud oold t-priog water piped to tbo build ings. A magnificent view can be bad of llood Kiver aud Mt. flood, wbile tbe mountain at the back rises up sheer 1700 feet, an imposing sight, and sheltering ttw lace from tbe Lorth and west winds. Dan Meara has been working steadi ly putting iu concrete fouudatlous and plastering new buildings, and baa become an optimistio sbouter for . the new metropolis. Fruit Kent in box Cars. North Yakima, Nov. 19.-Local shippers ot fruit are using ordinary box cars to handle the shipments us far east as tbey dare bend them (it this season ot tbe year in tbat kind of rolling stock, by packing tbe oar ends aud placing straw ou tbo bottom of tbe care and battening up tbe doors tbe cars can be made safe tor the .shorter trip but are out of tbe question ior use to more distant points. box oars, as a matter of fact, are isoarcely more numerous than refriger ator cars and tbe old condition of be ing "up against it" is as true today hh at any time tbe past tew week. Shippera are getting about a car a day piece. box cars bave b.eii sent up to the Wenatchee district, there to he loaded with fruit aud brought to North Yakima where the fruit will be ffip&CICGCl There ia little or no improvement at Toppenisb. Three cars bave been shipped by Bruoe Wees from that sta tion this week but there are nearly 40 cara of apples in tbe warehouses and ten more in the orchards. Packing in tbe orchards, whioh had been declared off, waa started again and the fruit will be brought in as fast as there is . warehouse room for it. Local ware houses are packed to tbe doors with Jruit. Next, tbe Warless Apple. TOhat is in tbe apple's blusb tomake tmen and women lie and fight? We find lJood River, Willamette valley .and Rogue River vieiog with each other orer tbe apple, each saying vbat tbo utbers declare fits.

Nov 12-The United btatea mint delivered fl.uOO.OOO in gold double eagles to tbe sub-treasury iu this city. It is stated that within tbe next three mouths tbe mint bere will coin to2,0UU,00 in doable eagles. Tbla enormous amount of goid will be distributed among tbe aub-treauries iu various parts of tbe country and will be employed to relieve the money stringency. The looal mint ia well equipped to contribute its share of tbe shower of gold that has begun to fall upon every part of the Unltd Stat -a. Many of its employes are working overtime, how ever, it being a nigbtly occurence for coin counters, weighers, adjuster and others to work as late as 10 o'clock, the usual hour for quitting work be ing 4 o'clock. New machinery has been recently installed in the mint and its efficiency was demonstrated in tbe operation of tbe "split collar," a device for pat ting stars on the edgea ot tbe newly designed eagles. There are forty six satrs cn tbe edge of each piece be cause of tbe approaohing advent of tbe new state of Oklahoma to tbe un ion. Tbe machinery at tbe mint is capa ble of grinding out 4000 of these pieces in an hour. There Is now at tbe mint enough bulliou for tbe man ufacture of 8:20.000.000 in doable eagles, but more bullion from various sources is being diverted to tbe big institution. As soon aa $150,000 In half-dollar pieces, or a similar amount in quar ters is sent out from tbe mint, within a day oi two, tbe attention ot tbe working foioe fill be devoted exclu sively to the task of meeting tbe re quirements for geld.
