GREAT DAY FOR OLYMPIA.
When the Flrnt Train Stnrtcil Ovor a
Itnllwny llullt hy tlio Xiitlvcs.
Probably tho chonpost railroad in tho
world wni built in Oregon in 1873. Dur
ing tho preceding year tho Northorn Pa
cific Itnllrond company surveyed tho lino
lietwccn Portland and Olympla, tornilnnt
lng at tho latter place, but only for a short
tlmu. Then it was moved away to Tn
coma, 85 miles farther north.
At that tlio peoplu of Olympla nrosa lu
indignation, called a meotlng, and after
vigorously discussing ways and means re
solved that, although tho rallrond hud boos
both given and takon away, tlioy were not
bound to submit as titit tho Lord, but
would build ouo for themselves and build
It with voluntary subscriptions of labor
and material.
Ono brlirht morning In April tho Olym
pla brass band halted at tho corner of Main
and Fourth streets. Clmrloy Granger's
bay mulo Hetty fell In behind. Then camu
tho olllclals of both city and county, led
by the governor and followed by tho citi
zens, until tho whole procession was halt
a mllu In length. They marched to n high
blulT above tlio capltol building, and theru
tho mayor of tho city and tho governor
both made speeches, and a prayor was of
fered. Tho IIrt sod was turned, and tho
grading of tho road began lu curliest. Ono
tiny lu every week was wit apart as Held
day, when tho city and oounty olllclals
camo out as at first, tho merchants closed
tholr stores, and mechanics shut thoir
shops, and young men and old men, boys
nnd Indians piled tho spado with hearty
will, while the womon spread tho tables
with all things needed for a midday feiist.
Weok after week tho work went on, and
tho road stretched out past tho timber
skirting tho upper end of I'ugot sound,
past tho falls of Tumwater, l)ctwccn the
Indian mounds of Mound I'ruirlo, through
half a mile of timber to Bush l'ralrlo,
moro timbur, moro prairie, across wldu
and shallow Scatter creek, 10 miles to
Ten I no.
Then tho tics were mado and laid and
not u dollar had yet been asked for. Hut
thotlmo had coino to buy tho rolling stock,
and subscriptions camo pouring In until
iworythlng was bought and ready.
what n uny It was lu tho history ol
Olympla when tho first train was started
over tho hard earned littlo railroad I Open
cars were hung with evergreen, and again
tho pcoplo all camo out, with tniislo und
rejoicing, this time to ride and not to
work.
Jinny of the old soldiers who labored
fnlUifully to build that littlo road, among
thorn General Mllroy, who was known all
through tlio civil war as Gray Eaglo, have
crossed tho silent river, but tho road they
built is still In uso, and old settlors point
to it with prldo, tho rond tho hardy pio
neers made with thoir own hands, tho
cheapest railroad in tho world. San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

A reporter for tho llonton Herald (rlvei
this lntercKtliiK' iicooiiut of a talk with ono
of tho roKiilar nriny olllcerg at Port Ham
ilton, In llostuii harbor:
"In thu dnyH of tho civil war riinu;oM
woro no very short thut tho gunner had no
dilliciilty In tooltip ills tiiritet und laying
his pun dlroetly upon It. Wind anil spued
t target out no flguro bocnuxo tho projoet
llo had such n fhort illstiinco to pniw over
that neither lmd enough tlmu to act to
mnko uuy appreciable dllTureiieo. Hut
now when firing at a target eight miles
nwny nil of those tiling" mnko theinselvn
felt. There 1m tho rilling In tho bole,
which gives tho projectile tho rotation
necessary to keep it from tumbling mid
which will In our servlco carry tho pro
jectile to tho right. Then tlio direction
and forco of the wind, tho direction and
speed of target, tho temperature and bar
omutrlo pressure of tho air, which nlloct
tho roslstalioo of tho olr to paMiago of tho
projectile, tho kind of powilur and weight
of projectile. All those things havo to bo
tnkon Into account, and tlioy oneh vary
under nil sorts of conditions, to that they
can only bo llgured out for oach particular
shot nt tho time tho gun Is llred.
"Most of this Information must bo
worked out from data obtained from fir
ing tests) nnd must bo thoroughly assimi
lated by tho export artillerist. Thou by
taking observations at tlio time of firing
data aro ohtuinoil from which rusultH otui
bo computed.
"Tho most Important part of tho opera
tion is of course to looutc tho target. Tho
Invention which has enabled us to do this
Is something wholly American n develop
ment of our regular army. This Invention
is tho rnligo finder. It looks a simple uf
falr n tall modern tower, with a sub
stantial foundation, built on a command
lug height and connected with tho guns
perhaps half n mile distant, by telephone
At tho top is n large telescope, adjusted on
a polished steel circular table. A dial on
tho telescopo frame is coggetl with the
odgo of tho circular tnhlo und gives at anj
Instant thu direct reading in a.imutli
Another dial Is so arranged that elevation
or depression of tho telescope gives It
Indicator n corresponding movement. This
Is llko tho ordinary transit fitted to read
vertical angles, but In tills case Instead
of rending angles of depression distances
aro Indicutcd in yards to tho point when
tho lino of sight pierces the wnter. An
ndjustmcut corrects for height of tide.
"It Is only necessary, then, to point oui
teloscopo nt tho water lino of tho ship
and rend directly azimuth and distance.
Thcso aro rapidly transmitted by telephone
to tho guns und plotted on n pieco of draw
Ing paper. Threo of theso ob-erntions,
20 seconds apart, uro plotted, and tho gun
has to bo fired HO seconds after tho last
observation Is taken or at tho end of two
minutes total time. Wo have tho location
of tlio target at three different times. It
Is now necessary to compute where It will
bo at tho end of tho 80 seconds.
A vessel running 1!3 knots an hour
will pnss over 1,200 foot in one mlnuto or
1,(100 feet lu 80 seconds, so that if wo fired
nt tho point where sho was at tho lot ob
servation wo might miss her 1,000 feet or
soino fraction of that, depending on her
direction of sailing with reference to us.
If wo llred point blank 1. o., ulniing right
nt her, wo would miss as much as sho
would pass over In tho tlino of flight of
tho projectilo. This for a 10,000 yard
rnngo might bo 20 seconds.
o havo now tho position of tho target
nt n given future Instant, but it is rcforred
to tho position of tho ratigo tower. Wo
must now correct our data to refer to tho
gun's position. Then wo aro ready to
mnko corrections for drift duo to rilling,
effect of wind, condition of atmosphere
and abnormal powder and projectilo. Tho
gun Is laid with tho resulting data by
means of degrees and mlnutos marked on
tho trnvorso circle of tho guu platform and
olovatlon uro on tho sldo of tho carriage,
and wo aro ready to tiro. It Is necessary to
allow time called 'timo of llight' for
tho projectilo to reach tho target at tho
end of tho 80 wconds, so tho guns must bo
llred that long ahead of time.
"When you consider that all of this work
must bo dono in 80 seconds, you sco that
ono has to count his time by fractions of
seconds to work llko an automaton. No
longer tlmu can bo allowed for computa
tions, etc., us uncertainties inoroaso as
ubout tho fifth power of tho tlmo.
"Tho mining of tho gun Is all sclonco
now ami needs experts. Tho firing and
loading uro tho only work whloh tho un
trained mind can find work nt, und oven
In theso things, you understand, thcro Is
need of coolness and experience for theso
big fellows aro delieato machines, aftor
all, und uro worked by lovers, havo elec
trical appliances mid are In other ways too
precious to trust to untrained hands.
This may not sound so dreaUtul ncrn
In tho calm of, n peaceful afternoon. Hut
imugino looking up sines and cosines,
plotting nccuruto curves from mathemat
ical data under a hall hi projectilo, with
fjhells mid bombs bursting around youl
Fancy placidly sighting your telescopo in
tho rnngo tower, which a well directed
shot may cut away from benouth you, and
your hand must not tremble, your mind
must not bo distracted!
Tho civ Ulan seemed rather Impressed.
Ho could only venture timidly thut it did
seem as if thcro wero gloat odds against
tho ships.
"So thcro aro. Hut they havo advan
tages too. In tho .lupnncso-Uhlnobo war
tho Japs, being clever, got ahead of tho
Chinese predictions of their posltlun by
running ahead full spued und then sudden
ly blacking up, so that tho Chinese gun
Ufirs began lo grasp thut uiso. Then they
changed their tactics and would advance
slowly at first, then suddenly crowd on ull
steam and speed nwuy, lca ing tho gun
ners far behind. "
"Oh I Thun you can gut around tho
'ubsoluto bclentlilo aci urueyr' "
Tho artillery otlicer laughed. "Yes, but I
you must remember the Japs wero dealing

"I have owikhI nnd Used many ImrsoH,"

sovelal balky ones. I once owned n team,
tho bot ono I evur had, that at Union wmo
stubUirn and ugly and would not work, j
One morning whon wo were going out In

sleep pitch lu thu rond. Thu nigh horso, an !

fused tomovo. At last I became Infuriated
and would lmu killed the horses with a
good will, but it whs of no avail. I left
tho team standing there that morning,
went back to tho house and doubled to
leave them thra, when a thought struck
me that proved stiooessful.
"I took a wide board, and, mnklng It
Into the shupu of n paddle, proceeded to
tho field. Onco inoro wo tried tho lmrsos,
but It won no use. They were determined
not to move. Tuklng the weapon which I
had made 1 struck lint ouo horso, then
the other, a few blows, and to my great
surprise they started at a rapid ruto. After
that 1 always kept the paddlo shaiicd
weapon In my wngon and when they re
fused duty I merely had to bhow It tn
thoin. I havo tried this Banio rule on
many other horses, and I never know H
to fall."
"What Is your theory? It ccrtnlnly can

"My theory Is that tho animals are
started from fright, caused by tho jar of

There are three periods in all life the
time of the bud, of the flower and of the
perfect fruit. It is thus that girlhood
emergen into womanhood and womanhood
into motherhood. Almost all of the ills
from which women suffer have their incep
tion in weakness and disease of the femi
nine organism, which bears the burdens of
wifehood and motherhood. These disor
ders usually begin with puberty, childbirth
or with the "turn of life." TliotiMiids of
women suffer silently for years in this waj',
rather than undergo the examinations and
local treatment insisted upon by the major
ity of physicians. This i1- unnecessary.
An eminent and skillful specialist, Dr.
R. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., long
since discovered a wonderful medicine
that will cure all troubles of this nature
in the privacy of the home. This niedi.
cine is known as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription. It acts directly on the delicate
and imporant organs that make wifehood
and motherhood possible. It makes them
strong, healthy and vigorous. It allays in
flammation, heal9 ulceration, soothes pain
and tones up the nerves. It banishes the
indispositions of the period of impending
maternity, and makes baby's adveut easy
and almost painless. It transforms weak,
sickly, nervous invalids into happy, healthy
wives and mothers. All good medicine
dealers sell it, and no honest dealer will
urge a substitute upon you.
