TO DEyELOPE KOOTENAI MINES.
A Railroad Depends on Subsidies, Which
the Canadian Pacific Opposes.

the Canadian Pacf1c opposes.
According to a private telegram from Ottawa,
the Victoria CoIonist says, the petition of the
Nelson Il Fort Sheppard Railway Company for
charter from the Dominion government will
probably be thrown out by the railway commit
tee of parliament This road is projected by d.
c. Corbin, president of the Spokane Northern,
to meet an extension of the latter road at the
boundary, and thus give the Kootenai mining
district connection with the outside world. A
subsidy OF $500 and 10000 acres of land mile
was asked for, but the cash subsidy
has been refused. The Canadian Pa
cifc is fighting the scheme, as it re-
CARDS the Kootenai district as its territory,
and its proposed new line through the Crows
Nest pass would probably run down the Koote-
mai river, the Columbia Kootenai road form
ing part of it, John Houston, one of the pro-
prietors OF the Nelson Miner, who is now in Vic
toria. is quoted by the COLonist as saying: 1--WE
will build the road this summer ii the subsidies
are granted" and continues:
OF the land that is asked for in alternate
blocks, theres is not one acre in every 10000 that
is suitable for agricultural purposes, in the
whole length of the projected road-sixty-ive
miles. The country is all mountainous, and
yet construction will not be difficult. the rail-
way can follow the little streams, which seem
to show the way. Without the land grants, Mr..
in selling the bonds; with them, he could go
ahead at once. And once the Nelson & Fort
sheppard is built, the Canadian Pacific is bound
to come in as a competitive line.
At present, for nine months in the year, Nell
son is shut out from the world, and the only
communication is by horseback route. Capital
lists will not go in as long this condition OF
affairs lasts and without capital the country
cannot prosper, no matter how rich its re-
sources may be.
Mr.. Houston advises laboring men and me-
chanics to keep away from the Kootenai coun-
try, for time at least, and also has a word for
prospectors- prospecting cannot be carried on
to advantage until the middle OF May.

Opium Struggled Within n Dead Body.
\ remarkable smuggling story is re-
lated by reliable resident of National
City, Cal. According to the story a
corpse was brought across the line from
Mexico, ostensibly to be shipped to rela-
tives in San Francisco. 1t was not exam
ined very closely, as the mourners would
have resented too close an inspection of
the dead body, but the informant hap
pened to be there and his curiosity was
aroused. He therefore investigated.
No sooner was the solemn procession
well away from the line than it changed
its course, and instead of going toward
San Diego went rapidly toward the east,
climbed the hills until it reached Otay
mesa, and stopped at house where the
coffin was taken in. 1t was by this time
growing dark. and the person who was
following it was puzzled how to continue
his Investigations. He rode boldly up to
the corral and put up his horse. The
occupants of the house were too busy to
notice his arrival. He then walked to
the house and looked through ting win
dow cautiously. He saw the whole
crowd of mourners busily engaged in
taking out small tin boxes Of opium from
the cadaver and piling them on the
table. The observer, feeling that he al
ready knew too much for his own good,
and fearful of detection, went quietly to
the corral, saddled his broncho and de-
parted.
He knows the names of the parties,
but will not disclose them. He said,
however, that the procession was com.
posed Of Mexicans, but the house where
the supposed corpse was taken belonged
to an American.-Cor. Portland Orego-

A Brave Pilot.

Captain John Stout, a Mississippi
pilot, died recently in New Orleans.
His life was distinguished by several
acts of bravery. He was at the wheel
of the steamer Robert E. Lee when she
was burned at Yucatan plantation, in
1882. On that occasion he saved a score
of lives by remaining at the wheel and
holding his boat to the bank. He re-
manned on the blazing vessel until the
very last moment, and only escaped by
sliding down the log chain. Captain
Stout was on board the steamboat J.
w. White when she was burned above
Bayou Sara in 1886, and jumped over
board to escape the flames. He was
picked up almost Observation-Disclosures

Built His Own Church.

The new Hovey Avenue Baptist church
building is a handsome one, for which
it's pastor, J. G. Jacob, is entirely re-
sponsible. A year ago he began to agi-
tate the building of the structure, but
meeting only with rebuffs he decided to
go ahead with the construction.
Accordingly he begged the lumber
from prominent firms Of the city, and
with his own hands laid the foundations
and erected the superstructure. Six
days out of seven for nearly six months
past he has toiled early and late on the
structure. With his own hands he has
painted the entire building, and his own
ingenuity is responsible for the beauti-
full interior finish of butternut, syca-
more and black ash. Though the prop
erty as it stands is worth nearly 5000.
the cash outlay by the church has been
less than 81 ,000.-Muskegon Mich Cor.

A Parentless Nest Full.

The passengers on the 7:20 western
bound passenger train of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad Friday evening had their
hearts moved by a most touching sight.
Huddled together in two of the train
seats, facing one another, were eight lit
tie children, the eldest not yet in her
teens and the youngest tiny babe,
which opened its eyes to the light on
Christmas day. These poor little ones
were all brothers and sisters, but father
less and motherless, left adrift thus ear
ly in their lives without a single rela-
tive, save one in far off India, whittier
they were bound.
The birth Of the little babe Christmas
morn had proven the death of its moth
er. The anguish stricken father, poor
mechanic named Robert Graham, turned
from the sad bedside a heartbroken
man. His sense of the overwhelming
responsibility thus imposed upon him
combined with his great grief to pros
trate him, and from the severe fever
which ensued he never recovered. New
Years day his silent remains were borne
to the graveyard and laid to rest beside
those of his wife.
But for the charity of kind hearted
neighbor the eight little orphans must
have Jared very i'll in their lonely state.
This neighbor learned of the where
abouts of the relative in India, CORE
sponded with him and left with the
little ones last Friday. Philadelphia

Superstitious wearers of Rings.

The use of amulets for disease seems
to belong to past age, yet, in truth, su-
perstition is almost as rife today as In
the romantic times when people discov-
cred fairy rings in the meadows and, by
every wandering stream, the footprints
Of the water sprites. 1t hardly seems
possible that copper rings or inlaid rings
of iron or other base metal should be
worn today to ward off disease. Yet
there are wise people, men of affairs,
who would scorn to show superstition in
greater things, who are firmly convinced
that they owe immunity from disease TO
some such token.-Exchange.
