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.

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.

Busy Making Monty.
Philadelphia. 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.
Told the Truth.
A Michigan editor grew tired of
wielding the whitewash brush in tbe
matter of obituaries and decided to
reform and tell tbe truth just once,
fie commented as follows upon the
death of a well knewn citizen:
. "Died aged 56 yeara, 6 months
and 13 days. Deoeased was a mild
mannered pirate with a mouth for
wb'skoy and an eye tor boodle. lie

man's wife and joined the church at
tbe flret opportunity. He owed us
several dollars for the paper and a
laige meat bill and you could bear

'Jesus Paid It All' and we suppose be
did tor he never paid anything him
self. He was buried in an asboatoa
casket and bis many friends threw
