RAILROAD PROJECTS ARE RUSHED CANADIAN GOVERNMENT IS BENT ON FORESTALLING THE UNITED STATES. Ottawa, Ont., April 15.-Striking evi dence of the great efforts which Can ada is making to complete her great railway projects in time to forestall American competition is contained in the official report of progress just submitted to parliament by the com missioners for the Winnipeg to Monc ton section of the National Transcon tinental railway. The report covers a perion of nine months. During that time 668.65 miles of grading was com-. pleted and track was laid over nearly half this distance. Contracts for thousands of tons of steel rails and viaducts have been made and work is being pushed on every section. The cost of this has been low considering the type of construction. The importance of the new rail road to Canada is the main reason assigned for the way in which the work of construction has been rushed but it is evident from the report that the government realizes the advan tage of completing her own work of development before the influx of American settlers, which she wel comes, is followed by attempts to ex tend American lines across the border on any large scale. The present railroad progrrm will make such extension unnecessary if it is carried out in time, and the way the work has been handled so far, as shown by the present report, in dicates that it will. The se,,tion be tween Winnipeg and the Fort Wil liam branch of the Grand Trunk is now 82 per cent completed. Engineers and contractors have been notified that the work must be so far com pleted as to permit of the operation of the line by next September. In this connection Mr. Lamsden, chlec engineer, makes the confident predic tion that this section will be in readi ness to participate in the movement of crops next autumn. The task is a big one, for this ls but one section in the line from On tario to the Pacific coast. Every where work is being pushed in the same way, however. West of Winni peg track has been laid and trall . are in operation as far as Battle river, a distance of 683% miles. Grading and bridging is complete and the track is laid over the whole dis tance with suitable sidings at each station.

Agents for Western Montana MISSOULA - - - MONTANA Ing made with the grading, which is composed largely of solid rock. The total cost of this work will run into millions, but this is all part of the careful plans laid out by the gov ernment and the railroad. The aver age individual, commenting upon the the first cost of the Grand Trunk Pa clfic fails utterly to understand that in this first cost is the final cost, that the builders of the road are building for a traffic already assured and that when the road is finished it will he complete and ready to take traffic and deliver it safely and surely. As one of these engineers recently put it, a railway badly located and cheaply constructed can never be made into a first-class line without the expendi ture of millions of dollars and the de lay of traffic. Both the government and the Grand Trunk management have faith in the future of Canada and they believe that the first cost of a firstclass line will come back in the way of extra earning made pos sible by the easy grades which they are establishing and the splendid roadbed which they are building.

The season in Washington opened April 1 and numerous big catches are already re ported. The largest fish landed so far this season is credited to N. W. Torrey of White Salmon, Wash., who, while fishing in a creek near ziusum, landed a speckled trout measuring 29 inches 'In length and weighing nine pounds dressed. Torrey caught the fish on a small hook, but shot it as he was afraid it would break the line. POET IS BURIED.

April 15.-W-heat-growers in the Palouse country, south of Spo kane, which, with the Big tBend dis trict, taking in 13 counties in east ern VWashington, yielded 40,750,000 bushels in 1907, are in a happy mood, as the prospects for a bumper crop have not been better since the spring of 1901. F1all-sown wheat came through in excellent condition and spring sowing is nearly completed. The season is fully two weeks in ad valnce of former years, and ranchers look upon this as a good sign for the spring crop. 'Thle ground received an i abundalllnce of winter rain and the Iloistllure hais poltrated to ia greatler eptlilh than at any time in the last five years. While the crop of 1908 was under 30,000,000 bushels. most of the farmers received mnore for their grain thanl ill the banner year of the coun try, IcaIuse of high prices. Others who held their grain during the win ter are now reaping the benefit of the unusually high price. There is little \vwhat in the district this spring and with the comlbination of the pro ducers in Idaho. Oregon and Wash ington this means that buyers will have to increase their bids to bring out any grain. Elevator men and millbuyers predict that all kinds of good wheat will bring top prices next fall. "One Touch of Nature Makes the Whole World Kin." When a rooster finds a big fat worm he calls all the hens in the farm yard to come and share it. A similar trait of human nature is to be observed when a man discovers something exceptionally good-he w ants all his friends and neighbors to share the benefits of his discovery. This is the touch of nature that makes the whole world kin. This explains why people who have been cured by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy write letters to the manufacturers for pub lication, that others similarly ailing may also use it and obtain relief. Be hind every one of these letters is a warm hearted wish of the writer to be of use to someone else. This remedy is for sale by all druggists. VETERANS GATHER.

A REMARKABLE CASE COMES TO A CLOSE Spokane, Apri 15.-What is declared to be the first instance in the his tory of the northwest where a judge of a court of record has been cited for contempt and probably the only uase where one has been haled be fore a brother jurist to show cause why he should not be punished, has come to an abrupt close in the Spo kane county superior court. Judge William E. Huneke decided in a lengthy opinion that Judge E. H. Sul livan, his brother, Porter Charles Sullivan of Seattle and N. E. Nuzum of Spokane, were not guilty of con tempt when they discussed among themselves the testimony given be fore a grand jury in the M. J. Gor don case, in which the two last named appeared as counsel for Gor don, Judge Huneke said that neither the state nor counsel for the defense had cited a single instance in volving the question presented, nor had the court been able to find a case bearing upon the matter. The ,ourt held also that while the law contemplates that the secrecy of the grand jury proceedings should be maintained at the expense of free .'spc'h, the fact that a witness told what he had testified to would not of itself place him in contempt of court.
