Affairs have reached disgrace
ful state in Kootenai. The citizens
Of this town know just what we
mean. We shall not elaborate on
the subject for the benefit Of the
outside public. If the people want
this thing to continue we have
nothing more to say, but we do not
believe they do, and we think it
is time to act in no uncertain way.
This town will be easily cleared Of
its thieves if the root of the evil is
struck out.

"a 1t is learned from the engi-
neer's department that the North
ern Pacific has actually entered
upon the work of improving the
grades upon the entire system, and
that they propose to give the n. P.
lighter grades than any other trans
continental line. 1t is the boast Of
the G. n. that they can haul freight
40 per cent. cheaper than any other
road on account Of their superior
roadbed, its principal advantage
being that it has lighter grades,
the maximum being 81 feet. The
N. p. proposes to reduce their max
imum grade to 26 feet, or one
half per cent grade. It viii take
great deal Of money to do this, but
it has been determined upon and
the money appropriated.
~ II. D. Culver, who has charge
Of the Algoma work for Olson &
Co., was in town Wednesday eve
ming. He says the work at Ago
ma will be ready for the rails in 80
days, and that the work at Grant
will reach the same stage Of COM
pletion in 40 days, with the excep-
ton of the tunnel, which it will
require go days to complete. The
track will all be laid up to the tun-
mel from both sides by that time
and it is calculated that trains will
be running over the new cutoff in
so days. Chief Engineer Stephen
son is expected from st. Paul to in
spect the work the fore part of the
week.
4 Chief Engineer Stephenson,
of the N. p. will be in this vicinity
early next week. He will have the
say as to whether the spur at Sand
Point will be built. The N. P. has
the cinch on the G. N. The N. p
will be compelled to accept the G
n. steel at Helenaj but they are not
compelled to switch it into another
lire unless they see fit. They could
haul the steel to Sand Point ano
compel the G.. N. to unload it ano
then reload it onto their own cars
This the G.. N. will not do, though
they are willing to pay the N. P
regular rates on 1900 cars Of steel
if they will switch it onto theil
track at Sand Point. The N. P.
then, has the power. to keep the G
N. back several months. VIII they
do it? Time only will tell.

Fined a Shell Shark.

Some shell game men opened up
in Kootenai last Monday and raked
in about $150-under the eyes of
Tom Hunter. Judge Cole got onto
the racket and appointed Ellsworth
Wentzell a special constable and
had two OF the sharks arrested.
One was fined 800 and costs. He
was released on paying $50, it APP
pearing that he was not one of the
principals in the affair.

The HERALD is able to lay some
thing definite before its readers this /
week in regard to the purposes Of
the n. P. Railway company. Our
information comes through source
that is strictly reliable, but at the
same time we are not at liberty to
mention names. We wish to assure
the public that we are not seeking
to bolster up false hopes by imagin-
airy facts or fancies. Our informa-
ton comes from men who are high
in authority and from contractors
who are on the inside.
In regard to the branch from
here to Bonner's Ferry, there is no
question about its being built early
next spring. No less than eight
bids have already been received.
The surveys were made over a year
ago, and. the estimates have been
lying in the office Of the chief engi-
neer. The N. P. would not be re-
ceiving bids if it did not intend to
build One Of the largest contract
ors in the country has stored that
part of his outfit which is in Idaho,
at Kootenai, with the expectation
of working ON the branch next year,
and it is said that that contractor
could have had the Granite work
had he desired it, but preferred to
wait for the work on the branch,
believing he could get it.
The question Of the permanent
location Of the division headquar-
ters, now at Hope, is also an open
matter yet, and the question Of
making Kootenai a division point
is considered with more favor than
any other pointj owing to the
branch being built from here.
Two million dollars has been APP
propriated for the Idaho division,
from Hope to Sprague This will
build the branch and make the
needed improvements.
Among the improvements to be
made in this vicinity is the filling
in Of all the trestlesj including those
at Sand Point and Pack river. At
Sand Point the long trestle will all
be filled in except $50 feet which
will be covered with a steel bridge.
At Pack river the plans are not
fully decided upon, owing to the
fact that the change of track is pro-
posed this side of there, in order to
avoid d 56 foot grade this side of
| Oden.
Several surveys have been made,
one of which leads around the lake
and would throw the present town
of Kootenai off the road about a
mile, and probably cause the town
to be moved down by the lake
shore, although the engineers are
considering the question Of making
the yards up here in case it is made
a division.
A few months more will decide
the matter. 1t may be set down
that the branch is certainty, and
that the division is in the range Of
probabilities 1t begins to look as
though poor old Kootenai was one
Of the chosen cities.

WOMEN IN A WRANGLE.
Tho Lady Managers of the Worlds
Fair on the Sunday Question.
THE MATTER CREATES A TEMPEST,
Though tho Board has No Jurlsdic-
tIon, and What tho Members Were
ouarrolllng for is Not clcar---Twcn-
ty.five Mcmbers leave the Hall to
Avoid Being Counted.

CHICAGO, LIS, Sept, Col. Shepard,
Of New York, the great apostle of Sun
day closing, succeeded in involving the
board of lady managers OF the Worlds
Fair in a delightful and harmless
wranglc, for which the majority Of them
will doubtless not thank him.
The gallant colonel, although he and
his confreres had once before lombard
the ladies with sabbath-closing argu-
ments, seemed not to be willing to let
well enough alone. Saturday afternoon
lie appeared before the lady managers
again, and in an hours speech induced
them to consider u resolution to have
the fair closed Sunday The result was
was a pretty debate, which at times, in
spite Of Mrs. President Palmer's pro-
tCsts, exceeded the bounds Of parliament
tary courtesy, and during which about
twenty-five OF the members left the hall.
Those remaining decided, however, to
pass the Sunday-closing resolution,
which they did by vote OF 56 to So.
The result left the ladies' in q bad
temper, which certainly justified the
lady president in administering in a
quiet way deserved rebuke to Col.
Shepard, wheIeupon that gentleman
faded cut OF sight for the day.
The morning session of the board was
quietly devoted to routine work. 1t
was decided that the board could not
get through its business yesterday, and
consent was obtained from the national
commission to sit again Monday. Mrs.
President Palmer Then called for the
reading OF reports from the Territories.
Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma and
the District OF Columbia responded with
llatterlng statements Of the work done
and planned by the women. The re-
manning morning session was passed in
discussing various matters, and at noon
the board took recess.
