A PROJECT to build railway
through the great territory of Siberia
was made by an American company
about ten years ago, which offered its
services and capital to the Russian
government. As the czar would not
agree to the terms of the offer, which
were like those on which the Pacific
railroads were built in this country,
the project was then dropped. But
the American suggestion has had its
effect in Russia. Now there are two
lines having their termini on the Ural,
one at Orenburg and the other at
Ekaterinburg, both places being dis
tant from ST. Petersburg about 1900
miles. The czar has approved the
decision of the council of the en-
pire to build a railway running from
the Ural mountains all the way to the
Pacific; a distance of 5,130 miles by
direct route. However, as in Siberia
there are on the route great rivers
like the Mississippi and Missouri,
they will serve to shorten the railway
proper by the establishment of steam
ship lines. The great Russian rail
way (about 1000 miles, will run as
follows: st. Petersburg, Moscow,
Nijni-Novogorod, Tobolsk, Tomsk,
Irkutsk, Lake Baikal, Stretinisk,
Nertchinsk and Vladivostok. Vladi-
vostok is situated on the farthest
south point of the Pacific shore be-
longing to Russia, and is the only ST.
berian harbor that does not freeze
during the winter. The time that
will be required for the journey from
St Petersburg to Vladivostok is about
fifteen days. The trip across the Pa
cific has just been shortened by the
fast line of steamers from Vancouver
to Yokohama, which makes the jour
ney in fifteen days. This will soon be
shortened. Already it has had the

MANY people have wondered what
is the significance of the long pennant
carried at the main truck of all vessels
of war in commission. When the
Dutch admiral Van Tromp hoisted a
broom at the top of the mast of his
vessel to indicate his intention to
sweep the English from the sea, the
English admiral hoisted horsewhip,
indicating his intention to chastise the
Dutchman. Hence the coachwhip
pennant was adopted as the distinctive
insignia OF a war vessel in commission
for service.

THE growth of the canning industry
is an astonishment to any one who
will give the subject a little attention.
Almost everything of a vegetable
growth, beside all sorts of meats, now
a-days finds its way into the cans, SO
that it can be preserved for almost
any length of time and transported
without detriment to any remote local
ity. Canned bread is one of the latest
novelties-at least it is so to most
people-and the public stand ready to
ask, what next?

The Woes of The Candidate .

Man that is nominated of conven
tion is of few days and full of woes.
He ariseth in the morning, and lol
the enemy hath gotten his record, and
the newsboy crieth it aloud in the
streets of the city.
He seeth his substance consumed
by the striker and the worker, while
the heeler devoureth him even as the
locust doth the green field.
All day long do fellows of the baser
sort lie IN wait for him at his gateway,
and say lend me 5 sheckels, the which
when they have gotten they spend at
the beer saloon of his enemy aud
laugh ha! ha!
His days are filled with the sound
of the brass band and his slumber
is broken by the scribes, who regard
not the proprieties, but awaken him
at all hours and command him be
thou interviewed, and straightway
publish unto the people words the
like which he had uttered not.
He maketh a speech unto the peo-
pie and the enemy crieth he is windy,
and man of vain words.
He sayeth naught, but shaketh the
hand of the populace, and 10! the
people declare he is a chump and
knoweth not what to say.
He is prudent with his treasure
and 10! the striker, the heeler and
the hummer stand in the streets and
cry he is chilly mug, and loveth moi
his fellow-man.
He giveth his shekels to the cause,
and straightway the scribes and pro-
phets of the enemy proclaim from
the housetops that he is a boodler
and cry out with loud voice: This
man would destroy the Egis of our
liberties. ."-LincOLn Journal.

FARMERS ALLIANCE.

The TRIBUNE wishes to remind the
farmers of Stevens county of the fact
that they are apparently losing inter-
est in their Alliance work. The AL
lance is an important organization
and can be made to WELD a potent in
fiuence for the benefit of the farmer
in many directions. All will admit
that the farmers of Grant county
have had an important influence up
on recent state legislation and that at
the present time they are doing more
to secure the enforcement of benefic-
ent laws than any others in the state.
The lever with which they have ac-
complished so much is the Alliance.
Lately the farmers of Pope county are
rallying ABOUT the Alliance and soon
we will hear results from them. The
farmers of Stevens county should not
be behind in the good work. We
hope to see interest in township AL
liances Immediately revived and hope
also to see the county Alliance up
and doing. AS Il first step, the TRIB-
UNE suggests that some Wide-awake
and influential delegates be elected
to attend the approaching meeting of
the state Alliance and that this be
followed up with more perfect organ
ization and more perfect work than
has ever yet been done.

MET A HERDS DEATH.

The funeral of Hugh NJ. Munro, the
Northern Pacific locomotive engineer
vino was killed at Grey Cliff Mont,
Tuesday the 10th inst, occurred yester-
day, and was largely attended by
relatives and friends. Floral offerings
were received from Memphis, Tenn {.
and Birmingham, Ala. from friends
to whom he was endeared by his
kindly sympathies. Mr.. Munro had
been slightely ill for a day or two
previous to the accident, but on that
day had obeyed a call 10 duty, though
still unwell. He responded to an
order to penetrate snow drift, which
the train was approaching, at full
speed-an order which he Obeyed at
the cost of his own life and that of
his fireman. When he saw what was
coming he might have jumped and
saved his lie, but remained at his
post, and prevented what might have
been frightful accident. He was
the oldest passenger engineer on the
road, and ran the first passenger train
into Livingston, Mont. He leaves
a wife and, one child.-Pioneer Press

Wreck at Moose island.

The belated east bound passenger
train on the Manitoba encountered a
broken rail at Moose Island last
Friday morning at about six o'clock.
The engines passed over safely, but
the train was badly wrecked, only
the sleepers remaing on the track.
The front cars fell upon their sides
and were more or less smashed.
Benjamin Prentiss. the express mes
senger, was instantly killed. w. w
Richardson, travelling man, had his
face badly cut and his legs bruised.
Louis Guipy, an Indian lad and Emil
Himmelsbach, n German, were also
considerably bruised. Conductor
Trudeaux came on to Morris with the
engines and Conductor Hardy was
sent to the wreck with his Browns

Island was not cleared away until the
following day.

The Manitoba has apparently bitten
of more than it can masticate. 1t has
been so anxious for new territory in
Dakota that it has used money in
building new lines which should
have been expended in repairing and
furnishing lines already operated.
The Browns Valley and other Min
nesota lines have been sadly neglec-
ted to enable the company to expend
millions in new lines in unoccupied
portions of Dakota and Montana. The
rolling stock has also been neglected.
Engines and cars are not in proper
repair and if in repair are insufficient
to properly care for the business of
the large number of lines operated.
In this also the people of Minnesota
are interested, because during the
last Fall Herman and other places
were calling for cars and could not
get them, because the ears were
needed in Dakota.
In view of these facts, the Tribune
offers the Manitoba people two sug-
gestions. First, that the company
pay more attention to the needs of
its Minnesota PATRONS. Minnesota
has given the Manitoba immense do
nations i'm lands and is entitled to
the preference, if any partiality is to
be shown, over the people of Dakota
and Montana who have given the
Manitoba nothing. Second, that the
company put its present tracks and
rolling stock in perfect repair and
make such additions to its rolling
stock as are necessary to properly
care for its present business, before
spending any more money in build
ing new roaos. IF the company will
peruse these suggestions and act up
on them before filing them away in
the waste basket, we feel sure patrons
will be benefited and III the long run
the company itself.
