One morning In the early eighties Harriman walked Into bis office and without auy previous warning an nounced the purcbaae of bls first rail road. "Wbere'd you get the money for It?” asked bis partners. "Never mind; 1 got it," said Harri man. The road was the Sodus Bay and Southern, running from Lake Ontario to Stanley. N. Y. It was thirty four tulles long aud owned two crippled lo comotives, two passenger cars aud sev eii freight cant. “It Isn't even a real good streak of rust." said a man who looked over It for him. Harriman pulled out bis map. He was studying railroad maps even then. “It’s got the best harbor on the lake." be said. "Tlie Pennsylvania road has got to buy it.” He started to build a big grain ele vator and to Improve the track. A few montila later be disappeared from bls office for several days and returned with a check for $200.000. He had sold his road to the Peiinsylvnniu rail- road. "They hud to have It." he said. “They saw It ns soon as 1 showed ft to them.” "But 1 saw It first." be added.—Mc Clure's Magazine. Extensive repairs are being made on tlie National Highway, the fam ous turnpike connecting the Middle West with tlie East, and which is al so known as the Cumberland road from the fact that it passes through one of the most scenic parts of the Allegheny Mountains -Cumberland gap. Several of the states through which this thoroughfare passes are doing their part toward repairing it—Penn- sylvannia is resurfacing its part, and many counties inOhioand Ind iana are doing what they can to mend it. Hopes are also entertained by motorists interested in the promo tion of good roads throughout the country that the Federal Govern ment may yet be persuaded to co operate with the states in a scheme for the reconstruction of this pike all the way from Cumberland, Mil., to its western terminus, St. Louie, Mo., a distance of nearly KOO miles.

Great, therefore, was the ancient glory. surprise when an Italian officer mount laist Monday the leading citizens of Tillamook City had the matter of bav and liar improvement under discussion again, and Hie interest that was taken in it shows ttiat they are fully determined that active measures be taken to carry out these projects with as little delay as possible. This was brought about in account of a petition being.filed with the County Clerk calling for an election to incorporate the Port of Bayocean, which will embrace the territory south of Tillamook Ba v not incorfiorsted in the Port of Tills ■nook. President Webster Holmes called a meeting of the Tillamook Commercial Club at nine o'clock on Monday morning to confer with Mr. A. A. Rui'ell, representing the Bay- ocean interests anti the members of the Port of Tillamook. There was a large attendance of business men and tlie discussion took up the whole of the morning. Mr. Holmes, in calling the meeting to order, briefly stated that as a petition had been filed to create a Port at Bayocean, that the Club and the Port of Tilla mook should give the new Port its approval and they should work to gether to bring about tlie desired re sults. Attorney George Willett made a motion that the club give the Bay ocean proposal its hearty support which was carried unanimously, and was as follows : “Resolved: first that we heartly endorse the proposed new Bay ocean Port project; second, that we urge upon the directors of the Port of Tillamook the necessity for im mediate action in the employment of a competent engineer to prepare plana and estimates for the improv- ment of Hoquarton Slough and the aouthweat or Sturgeon Channel; third, the issuing of $K*),KM) in bonds to carry out in connection with Bayocean said improvement, the bnlunce to be used ou the bar improvements.’’ Mr. A. A. Russell outlined what he thought the Port of Bay ocean would do when incorporated. He said lie was decidedly in favor of improving what is known as the Sturgeon Channel, for this would give a It) to 20 foot channel in their territory on the bay, or from a point half a mile from Dick's Point to the mouth of Hie bay, which, after once lielng opened up, would cost little to keep up.
