Persons contemplating a trip
to Kootenai River or Lake points
should bear in mind that this route
is the most convenient, and, also,
the quickest.
Slim Burton, who took a few
shots at Conductor Cunningham,
at Hope, plead guilty to a charge
Of assault with intent to kill, and
now languishes in the county jail
at Rathdrum, where he will remain
till after the next meeting Of the
grand jury.

"A recent issue Of the Nelson

Mr.. Faust, of this city, who
has been putting in several weeks
of prospecting in the Cabinet range,

some Hope parties he has located
several promising claims. He

splendid inducements to the pros

mines will be opened up near
Kootenai this summer, unless the
appearance Of quite a number of
prospects found this season are

The \. rs Eaith h Kootanni.

The Northern Pacific railway
evidently has faith in the contin-
ued prosperity Of Kootenai. It has
ordered the construction of anoth-
er side track at this place, 1000
feet in length. Is it not evident
that if the Northern Pacific did not
believe that this would remain an
important distributing point for a
long time to come that it would
not at this late day increase its
side trackage here?
The outfit is expected here in a
few days to commence work.

What a Sucker can do.

There are some people who de-
light to "stuA7" their auditors
with full-grown, healthy lies about
wonderful adventures encountered
in their travels. Just at present
every fool from country town
that comes to Kootenai and bucks
the Tiger disasterously, or runs up
against a sure thing game, goes
back home and loads the editor in
his town with yarn about being
robbed in Kootenai. If this thing
keeps up, every man in the country
that gets broke will be swearing he
''was robbed in Kootenai," even
though he never saw the place.
Every sucker can now go home
and explain the thing easily to his
people.

PEND D. OREILLE.
SOME FACTS AE0UY ONE or THE
FAIREST or LAKES.
fts Traditions, ITS Grand Scsnery, and its
Probable Future Importance,


One Of the most beautiful sheets
of water in the world is Lake Pend
d. Oreille, whose emerald shores ex-
tend to within a mile of Kootenai.
1t is about thirty-fye miles long,
by from two to ten miles wide, and
is surrounded on all sides by an
evergreen woodland Of pine, fir and
cedar. The lake is formed primo
ipally from the waters of ~Clark's
Fork, but it receives the waters Of
many mountain streams besides.
Its outlet is the Pend d Oreille
River by which it reaches the
mighty Columbia. On the South
rises the almost perpendicular
slopes Of the Ceur d Alenes; on
the Northeast are the snow-capped
peaks Of the Cabinets; while in the
West there is range Of mountains,
rugged and somber hued.
Around its shores are several
hourishing towns, one of which is
Hope, on the East, built on the ter
raced sides of the mountain. On
the south is Lakeview which sprung
into existence during the Chloride
mining excitement. On the West
is the growing town of Sand Pont,
which enjoys the distinction of be-
ing located at point where the
main lines Of the Northern Pacific
and the Great Northern approach
nearest to each other. On the
North is our own Kootenai, hidden
from the lake view by the forest.
The lake is rapidly becoming
noted as a summer resort, and
hunting and fishing is always good.
There is a steamer at Hope, upon
which delightful trips may be made
to all parts Of the lake, and another
at Sand Point that runs upon the
river.
The numbep of visitors to Pend
d Oreille is increasing every year,
and the time is coming when it will
have a reputation such as some
other resorts enjoy-to miss seeing
which the traveller feel that he has
missed one Of the sights Of the
world.
The scenery is not grander in
any land. There is something
awe-inspiring in the rolling waves
Of Lake Pend d. Oreille. There is
the highest of sublimity in the
aspect of it's towering mountains.
There is an enchantment in the
gorgeous rays OF its setting sun as
it sinks behind the dark wooded
hills of the western horizon. No
wonder the Red Man became imbu-
ed with the superstition that the
Great Spirit lowered over this love
ly lakel 1t was a favorite locality
Of theirs. They had a saying that
the Great Spirit smiled upon other
lands but once year, but upon
this, always.
And such is the beautiful Lake

scrape in this place, on July l.,
died last Monday, at 10 p. m.
and was buried tho following
day at Sand Point.
The deceased stated some facts
in regard to the case before his
death which tend to throw little
light upon some of the mystery
that has hung around the deed.
From what we can learn, these
two men, Eaves and the Louisiana
Kid" as he was called, had been
partners, as gamblers, during a
period of some eight or nine years,
but had not been running together
for the past two or three. Eaves
claimed that the Kid owed him
some money, and hearing that he
was in Kootenai, came up here
from Spokane to try to get it. 1t
was over this money that the
trouble arose. caves said he finally
told the Kid that if he would give
him $40 he would call it square.
The Kid answered that he would
not give him "a d--n cent"
Eaves said, Il will make YOU" and
it is supposed he pulled his gun, or
attempted to; but the Kid was
the first to shoot, firing
three shots through the open door
way, in rapid succession, into the
bed room where Eaves was, One
Of these shots caused the fatal
wound. The Kid, who must have
been standing in the hallway, then
made for the stairway, and five
bullet holes in the wall show that
Eaves fired five shots after him.
The Kid took to the timber be-
fore any one hardly knew what he
had done, and is now supposed to
be in the Kootenai Lake mining
country, in British Columbia.
caves did not want his slayer
brought back. TO a direct ques-
ton put to him by Deputy Sheriff
Hunter, he answered that he would
not testify against the Kid if be
was captured. The only reasonable
explanation, to his not wanting the
Kid punished is that their were
dark secrets between the two and
neither would dare give the other
away,
Both men were gamblers Of the
sure thing type, one working the
shell game and the other the soap
game.
A coroner's jury was empaneled
on Tuesday and a verdict returned
to the effect that the deceased
came to his death from the effects
Of a gun shot wound inflicted by
one Prindle, alias he Louisiana
Kid" A warrant was issued for
Prindle's arrest.

MIR. JAMES a. PUGII.
General Manager,

THE TINES takes pleasure in an
%nouncing the accession to it's staff of
Mr.. James A. Pugh, president of the
Virginia Press Association, and until
now editor of our esteemed contcmpor-
airy, the Herald. He is 4 graceful, forci-
BILE and brilliant writer, and the best
posted newspaper man in the country
on the and developments of
Southwest Virginia.
In consenting to attach himself to
the staff of TIE TINES we feel sure that
Mr.. Pugh was convinced that a wide
field Of usefulness was open to him. In
securing his valuable cooperation TIE
TINES felicitates itself that it has made
a stride forward in it's fixed purpose to
give Southwest Virginia tho best news
paper in the State.
We can only say at present that THE
TINES has in contemplation several
novel departures in journalism which
will bring Southwest Virginia more
prominently to the attention of the
world than has ever before been accom-
plished through the medium of a news
paper.

a POSTAL AID BILL.

The action Of the House in adopting
a postal subsidy bill in place of the ton
mage bill is in the nature Of q SOD to
Cerebus. The tonnage bill is broad,
liberal and general in its provisions. 1t
was open to every American who built
and sailed a ship in compliance with it's
provisions. The postal aid bill is neces-
sarily limited to mail-carrying vessels,
and will aid large and wealthy lines,
while the owner of q single vessel gets
nothing.
The commerce carriers of the world
are not the great passenger greyhounds,
but the tramp steamers and sailing
vessels. The tonnage bill would have
stimulated the efforts and energies of a
hundred ship builders, and four-ffths of
the Representatives of Congress who
voted against it will live to SEQ the
folly of their course and regret it.

that have achieved success in news

abused press and reporter with a
woman's reason, as follows:
Journalism is too much a strictly
commercial enterprise, and the shop
windows are filled with gaudy tinsel to
draw the vulgar eye; and necessarily so
in view of the class of men who act as
reporters; as public nuisances they learn
to pocket abuse, cvince ~unflinching en-
