FOR GAs-BLowERs.

A Boise City man is in receipt of let
ters patent for an important invention
made by him about year ago. The in
vention consists of q safety attachment
for gas burners, which makes it impos-
they may be in their efforts, to extin-
guish the light of the burning gas by
blowing upon it. This is effected by a
contrivance which suspends second
burner with small jets just over the
main light in such way that when an
attempt is made to blow out one of the
lights it, After repeated efforts to blow
out the gas the party retiring will either
learn the use of the screw attachment
which shuts off the gas, or will be COM
PEELED to leave il burning.

Colfax Gazette: The Northern Pacific
corps of engineers and surveyors who
have been engaged for some weeks upon
the survey of branch line of that road
from Oaksdalc to Colfax, reached this
city Monday and were camped for some
time in the north end of the town. 1t
is impossible, of course, TO interview the
head of any surveying party with any
degree of satisfaction in the way vi learn
ing anything definite regarding
a line. However, diligent efforts on the
part of Gazette representatives have led
us to believe that the line run is an en-
tirely practicable one and that it is about
twenty six miles in length and on a
grade, in the steepest portions, OF about
eighty three feet To the mile. 1t Is un-
derstood that proiles of other lines will
be filed in the office of the chief eng-
neer, a selection to be made about Feb
ruary and the road built at once.

KID WALKER OF SPOKANE.

Wallace Free Press: The two-ounce
glove fight last Saturday evening at Fitz
4 Hollohan's Club theater was well at
tended. The house was packed in every
part, and better natured crowd never
witnessed ring contest. And the spec
tators went away satisfied, too, which is
not often the case with exhibitions of
this kind. The battle was between Kid
Walker of Spokane and Scotty Murray
of Butte, but not to a finish as stated in
the programme. The Kid was little
nervous concerning Murray, he being
some fifteen years older and an expert
enced fighter. There was prospect
that the Kid would back out when Muir
raw proposed to knock him out in fifteen
rounds or forfeit the stakes and gate re-
ceipts. This proposition was accepted,
and 1t resulted badly for Murray, for
the Kid proved to be fully his equal, If
not his superior. The Kid was not
knocked out in fifteen rounds but in the
last round become the aggressor, and
made it uncomfortably warm for the
Butte man. Had the round lasted a
! little longer he would have gone to the
| floor. The fight was q bantam affair,
and with the exception of few rounds
was hotly pushed by Murray, but he
could inhict no severe punishment on
his opponent, except to draw a little clar-
ct from his nose in the second round,
which was the only one that ended in
Murrays favor. Unfortunately for Muir
ray, he allowed his temper to get the
and the sympathy throughout was very
pronounced in favor of the Kid, who
| proved himself to be pretty good scrap
per for 19-year-old. pohn murphy,
Montana's ex- champion acted as referee,
and he gave the boys fair play.

A Projected RAILWAY.

Pennington Register; Some time past
we made mention of a projected railroad
from Pennington to Lewiston by way of
the Potlatch country. Since then, in
conversation with q prominent railroad
man, we learn that o more desirable or
paying route could not be found in
Eastern Washington. The road leaving
this city could be built for twenty miles
with very little expense compared with
the average railroad building in this
state; only two small cuts and very
few bridges would bring the road into
Potlatch country after passing through
the Deep country, which is oflate gain
ing quite name for it's lumber mining
and stock raising industries. From Pot
latch to Lewiston the road would pass
through farming section, thus making
the road good Investment. Who will
build first, the Union Pacific or Northern
Pacific? Should the Northern Pacific
build branch to this city, in all prob
abilities they would put road from
Pennington to Lewiston over the above
named route.

East OregOnlOn: Ehrl May reports INC
following remarkable story of u neigh
bor, the truth OF which he vouches for,
and which no one who knows Earl will
doubt. The hero of the tale Is staid
and sober old gentleman, whom will
not offend by mentioning his name. His
health is feeble; or at any rate, he is
much given to thinking so, and he Is
constantly expecting an attack from
some fatal malady that will take him
oil. One day he feels strange and
unusual humping in the region of the
heart; at another time premonitory
symptoms of liver complaint.
His hypochondriacal disposition Is a
source Of much worriment to his friends
aud relatives, and especially so. to his
wife, who is in constant dread lest his
morbid fears be realized.
During the summer the old man had
occasion to change pair OF oyeralls that
lac had been wearing, for another. These
he found hanging IN corner. OF the
barn-a curious but extremely un-
usual wardrobe for this particular por-
ton of farmers wearing apparel.
Putting on his pantaloons, he went to
his work US usual, but soon afterwards
he experienced q strange beating sensa-
tion in the right side Just under the RIBS.
lie grew deathly sick and staggered into
ths house and threw himself upon the
bed In answer to the alarmed inquiries
of his wife he told her his time had
come; that they might send for physi-
clan but lie feared It would be useless.
He then described the sensation exper-
fenced, and had the terrified wife place
her hand upon the region affected.
Sure enough, there was the curious
palpitation under 1t. He was suffering
the most intense, and as lie described 1t,
the most "sickoning pain" when the
doctor arrived.
The physician was alarmed at the old
gentleman's $ appearance, and hastily be,
gan his investigation. Heheld his hand
upon tho spot from which the pain ap-
peared to proceed for a moment, ther
