true Of the building up of cities.
Within ten short years the forest
has been cleared away or the virgin
soil broken to build the first house,
where now has grown to be city
Of tens Of thousands.
The greater part Of this phenom-
email growth has been confined to the
Pacific Northwest. Lured thither
by the industrious real estate
agents, the great stream of imigra-
ton flowed to the Pacific Coast, un-
til, at last, the tide has turned
back from it's over-crowded shores,
and now both streams Of inigra-
ton meet in that inter-mountain
region between the Cascades
and the Rockies, a region Of rich
resources, and about the only
part of Americas domain
where there is still any part of
chance for cheap homes and quick
fortunes.
The fact is there is no more
frontier. That part Of our country
that lies in a raw and 1ndeveloped
state is almost a thing Of the past.
In few years more it will be
as hard to make a fortune in the
West as it now is in the efete
East. Men who have been in the
West any length of time begin to
realize this fact.
With the people Of both the
East and. the West looking for
SONS new Mecca to make stam-
pede for, it is but natural to sup
pose that wherever the boom
strikes, there we will see a great
rush Of people and the sudden
building up Of city.
KooTENAI scenes to be one Of
those favored spots. I'll is grow
ing faster than any other town iii
the state; and is full of vigor and
energy and activity. Three months
ago there was hardly a dozen
houses in Kootenai; now there are
close to forty business establish
ments and a population of nearly
500. And there is this remark
able about it's growth: it has been
without any effort or booming on
the part of any one; it has grown
wholly upon its merits SIS a
COMMERCIAL CENTER.
Kootenai is located on the North
ern Pacific Railway, in the North
central part of the Pan Handle Of
Idaho. 1t is in the great Pend d.
Oreille Basin, and about a mile
from the lake.
Much of the present Importance
Of the place is due to the fact that
it is supply and distributing
point for a large amount of RAILROAD
construction work to be done dur
ing the next two or three years. 1t
is safe to say that there are $50
miles of construction work on the
Great Northern for which Kootenai
is the natural distributing point.
Besides this it is an assured fact
that the Northern Pacific will
build a branch line from this
place to the head Of navigation on
the Kootenai River.
Kootenai has two other import
resources, the development of
of which will give permanency and
renewed prosperity to the town.
We refer to MINING and LUMBER.
From the mountain sides South
Of the Lake to the British line is
one Of the finest bodies of timber to
be found. Millions Of feet Of

A Train Robbery.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, November 1.-THE
midnight train from Chicago, on the Mil
waukee & St. Paul road. was robbed by
masked men near Western Union Junction.
After the engine men had been overpow-
cred and the train stopped, the engineer and
fireman were marched to the express car IN
der cover and the work of blowing open the
express car began Several bombs, the FIRE
man thinks, were thrown into the ear and
the explosion was terrific, and must have
awakened every passenger on the train, but
nobody appeared on the scene. The robbers
we're undoubtedly not less than six or seven
in number.
When the train reached here, at 2:20 O'Clock,
the express car looked like it had been at
tackled by heavy artillery. Every window
and door had been blow out and the contents
of the car we're piled up in heap IN the CEN
ter of the car.
CHIcAGo.-A report of the train robbery
near Western Union Junction has been re-
ceiyed by General Manager Earring, of the
Chicago, Milwaukee d st. Paul railroad,
which states that the safes have been recov-
cred and that the robbers did not get any
booty. The report says the robbers de-
manded the keys of the express messenger
and he positively refused to give them up.
The robbers then threw the safes out of the
car. In the meantime the rear brakeman
had rushed back to the Junction and got
help, and an engine and posse Immediately
went to the scene of the robbery and the
robbers fed. The fast mail, which leaves
Chicago at a. m. picked up the safes and
carried them to Milwaukee.

One Flag for one Country.

WASHINGTON, D. c., November 14.-The
national council of administration of the
Grand Army of the Republic is in session
here. Fixing the date of the encampment is
one of the first things to be done. The west
wants the meeting to take place about the
middle of September. certainly not later
than the last week in that month, while Gen
eral Palmer prefers the first week in Octo-
Der.
Asked about his confederate flag order, the
general said: ''To me II is inexpGcable that
the rebel flag should have been displayed at
che unwilling of the Grady monument.
Grady was a broad-minded man-one who
would have never countenanced such foolish
ness. OF course we understand that south
ern conditions differ very materially from
those IN the north, and We make all allow
ances for those differences. Union veterans
in the south very properly fraternize aud
affiliate with those who were once their deadly
enemies. The war settled forever the aues-
ton of which flag was to wave in this coun-
try. and southern men who were most imme-
diately interested accepted the ultimatum.
The rebellion is over; let US hear no more of
two flags in one country"

LONDON, November IA heavy gale SET
in on the south of England and Irish coasts
The wind blew with hurricane force.
The steamer Majestic was forced to pro-
coed to Liverpool, being unable to Land at
Queenstown on account of the hurricane.
The iron ship BenVenue, of over 1900 tons,
bound for Sidney, n. S. W., was caught in
the storm and driven ashore near Sandgate.
Her crew Wss compelled to take to the rig-
ging to escape being washed overheard by
the seas which swept over the vessel. A life
boat was manned and started for the wreck,
but was unable to reach IT.
The life savers rigged rocket arrangement
and Immediately began to shoot line to the
wreck, by means of which breeches buoy
might be sent out to the stranded vessel.
These operations were watched by an i'm
menss crowd OF people on the beach When
the first rocket fell short of the wreck there
was a general expression of dismsy. Again
and again the attempt to shoot a line was
made. but each time the attempt failed.
Another vessel is ashore close to where the
Benvenus lies.
Several victims of the storm have been cast
upon the beach at SandRate.
The storm has extended northward, and
RACES with great fury from Wick, on the east
coast of Scotland, to Scilly islands, in the
English channel.
In London the storm did considerable dam
age. In many places, where buildings were
in course of erection, the boarding in front
eff them was blown out into the streets and
temporarily stopped the passage of pedes-
TRANS and vehicles.
The storm caused considerable damage
throughout the southern counties of England
and Ireland.
Ram has fallen in large quantities and tel
egraphic communication has been inter
rupted to great extent by the breaking of
wires and falling of polls.
Dispatches now being received give long
list ofcasualties at various points along the
coast
The damage to fishing boats and other
small craft employed IN the coasting trade Is
large.
Farmers IN the middle counties are grow
ing discouraged at misfortunes that are pur-
suing them. In these counties the previous
gales and floods did an immense amount of
damage. In some sections the water that
had flowed upon large tracts of low lying
lands during the previous food was just sub
siding, and the farmers had begun to look
forward with satisfaction to blowing and
the waters have again submerged the land
and the farmers are Respondent.
Several instances are reported of thu loss
by drowning of parts of life saving crews.
Several of the sailors clinging to thu wreck
of the Benvenue were seen to drop from the
rigging and drown. After repeated attempts
to save the men, the life savers of SeabroOk

British jealousy at the increasing influence

THE modern tragedian who is in
search Of a theme for tragedy can
hardly do better than select the story
OF ex-President Balmaceda, who has
put the necessary climax to the story
by his suicide. OF course, there must
be woman In the story, and that is
the easiest OF things for a clever
dramatist to find. 1t is rather re-
harkable, it may be remarked in
passing, that the story of Prince Ru-
dOlph is not on the boards; although
it is probable that in European coun-
tries its production would not be al
lowed, while it is not the sort Of
theme to which the American play
wright takes naturally. 1t viii see
the glare OF the footlights sooner or
later, however; Of that one may easily
be assured. 1t is too sensatiOnally
dramatic, and it is so full Of mystery
as to provoke the attempt Of the
imaginative dFamatist to solve its
mystery.

British Trade

LONDON, November IS.-The tin plate
industry in Swansea has become so depre-

so seriously lessened, that it is reported that
the masters in that place have decided to
close their works when existing contracts
have been executed.
Outward trade from the London docks to
New York at the present time is in great
contrast to the trade which was being carrie
on between tbs two ports at the same period
last year. Whereas vessels formerly sailed
from here with full cargoes, they now leave
this port for New York with their holds half
empty. This decrease in the carrying TRACE
