Among the great projects tbat are bc- ing considered at this time with a view to the expansion of commerce, especially between the United States and the coun tries south of us, none is more important than that of constructing a great rail way to finite the northern and the southern continents. This is a subject which has been talked of for many years and which has the endorsement of some of the most practical and the wealthiest of our great capitalists. Men who re present millions are in an organization whose object is to promote the con struction of an inter-continental rail, road, connecting the northern and south, ern continents oí this hemisphere by a Kami of steel that would contribute more than anything else to preserve peace between them and promote trade that would be of mutual advantage. The idea of a panamerican railway originated years ago and repeatedly talked of since by men of the highest standing in the financikl and railway world, seems to be in a fair v\ ay to be come a material proposition. The spe cial commissioner appointed by Presi- dent Roosevelt to investigate conditions in the South American countries with reference to the construction of the pro posed railway has made his report and its facts and recommendations are such Ji as to justify the conclusion that the proposed enterprise cannot only be suc cessfully carried out, but would prove profitable as an investment. That is all that American capital will need to know in order to embark in the enterprise and carry it to success.

For the state..................... 2.28c. Average for first and second classes 2.22c. The average of the first and second classes is about the average make of the creameries of the state, viz., 104,518 pounds of butter. The fact that the average cost in these average creameries is about the same as the average cost for the state tends to strengthen the idea that the above figures are correct, especially in view of the fact that more than half of the creameries in the state are included in these two classes. The statistics from gathered-crenm creameries are very low in number in re gard to cost of making butter, and vary from 0.8 of a cent |>er pound to 1.7 cents per pound, the average being 1 15 cents. It is evident, of course, that there will be less investment in a creamery without separators and less expense to run it.—Jersey Bulletin. 19C4. * DAIRYMEN’ AND S SUPPLIES STEEL STOVES & RANCES $ £ g $ We carry a Large Stock of Hardware, Tinware, Glass and China, Oils, Paint, Varnish, Doors, Window Sashes, Line of Choice GROCERIES Agents for the Great Western Saw M c I ntosh & McNAIR, The Most J I Reliable Merchants in Tillamook County. ■ J L 4 i 1 M Sewing Machines.
