TO BRIDGE EOOTENAI RIVER
A New Proposition is asked for
by those most interested.
THE BRIDGE is A NECESSITY
Instead of S4s, 500 fancy steel bridge,
Instead of S4s, 900 fancy steel bridge,
less than $4,000 will pay for
all that is now required.
A question that far more inter

A question that far more inter
ests the people OF this valley than
party politics is the building of a
bridge across the Kootenai river at
this place. The necessity of such
an improvement has been frequent
ly set forth by the HERALD, and
needs no comment from us at this
time. The question to consider
now is practicable proposition to
get money to build it.
We have wondered, and are still
wondering, why it was that the
county commissioners let con-
tract for a bridge to cost $45, 800,
subject to a two-thirds vote, when
they could have let contract for a
bridge that would have answered
the purpose at much less cost,
and not required a vote, or, if it
did, would have cost a sum more
certainly acceptable to the voters.
The HERALD in advocating a
bridge across the Kootenai at Bon
ner's Ferry, has always stated that
no expensive structure was contem-
plated by the promoters Of the
proposition. What they wanted
was something practicable, and
which would 81 ialmeaiate nelief.
We have stated, and we state it up
on the authority OF men posted in
bridge building, that such struc-
ture as would answer well the pur-
poses could be built for $4,000.
We believe the county could afford
to give us that amount, needed as
the bridge is, and the necessity for
it increasing ten-fold every year.
AS the matter stands now the
bridge proposition is slightly mixed
and we desire to see it placed in
some tangible shape. We want to
have proposition placed before
the people that is so fair and COM
mendable that it can not but be ac-
to the fair minded taxpay-
ers of the county.
We want to state a proposition
that, if accepted, will start the
work on our bridge now, and one
which will commend itself to every
taxpayer not prejudiced against
the best interests of the county
the iudicious improvement of pub
lie highways in our county.
Instead of building an expensive
steel bridge at Bonner's Ferry, cost
ing $45, 800, build wooden one
that can be constructed for less
than $4,000. Practical bridge
men tell us that it can be done.
We would recommend that the
piers be built solid and substantial
enough to take steel top, if, sew
eral years hence, the county can
afford to place a steel top on them.
At the present time a wooden top
is good enough, and by driving
piling between the piers a wooden
top could be constructed making
the total cost of the bridge less
than $20,00O-probably not over
$4,000. 1t seems to us that the
county ought to concede this to us
and we believe it will.
We have never asked for such an
bridge as the one now
proposed, and we do not wish to go
before the people with a proposition
so expensive as to endanger our
chances of getting something.
We are terribly in earnest about

To IMPROVE THE koorENAl.

Capt. I. w. Simonds, a United
States engineer, having in charge
all the engineering work in connec-
ton with the improvement of the
Columbia river and its tributaries,
was in the city last Sunday. He
came here for the purpose of max
an examination of the Kootenai
with view to ascertaining what
work was necessary to improve the
river for navigation. The examina-
tlon or survey is in accornance with
the bill, the passage of which was
secured by representative Willis
Sweet, providing for a survey of the
Kootenai river Mr.. Sweet was un-
der the impression when. he was at
Kootenai station a year ago, that he
could secure an appropriation for
this year, but he found it was a
rule from which no exception is
made, that before congress will grant
money for the improvement of any
stream, a survey must first be made.
AS stated Capt. Simonds is here to
make the survey, and we think his,
recommendation will be that the
stream needs an annual appropria-
tion to keep it clear of snags and
drift wood. Congressman Sweet
Will no doubt be able to secure the
appropriation next year. This I'M
provment Of the river is very much
needed. 1t is now out of the oues-
ton to run steamers after night;
whereas a little work would make
it perfectly safe, and next year, as
our trade with British Columbia
opens up, and the shipment Of ore
commences, there should be no OBJ
stacles in the way of navigation on
this important highway.

LANSING, MICH, Aug. 12-[Special i
Earl, son Of William A. Price, and Arthur,
son of John Kurtz, both of North Lansing,
met with a horrible death in a most sinpu.
lar manner late Yesterday afternoon. The
boys, each of whom was about years old,
were playmates. The Price boys mother
is East on visit, and he, with his father
and sister, was staying with his grandfather,
who lives in an adjoining house.
The boys were missed late in the after.
noon, and although a large crowd of neigh
bors searched for them until midnight no
trace of them was found. Finally, about 6
clock this morning, the Price boys father
thought OF an unused ice chest at his house.
into which his children had at times
crawled to play, and on going to the house
and opening the chest the two boys were
found, dead.
The interior of the chest, which was zinc
lined, was but 2 feet 8 inches long, 18
inches wide and 21 inches deep. The bodies
were crowded into this small space facing
each other. The boys hats laid beside
them, and the Price boy had removed his
jacket during his struggle to open the
chest.
The chest was fitted with two covers, the
first of which made it air-tight 1t was evil
dent that after the boys squeezed them
selves into the box their movements caused
the covers to fall, and the clasp on the out
side cover closed over the staple, fastening
them in so that escape was impossible. The
chest was locked in this manner when the
Price boys grandfather opened it this morn
ing.

TWENTY MEN BURIED

In the Ruins Of . Collapsed Building, and
Eight Arc Still Imprisoned - Six
Deaths VIII Result From Those Taken
Out.
OGDEN, N. j., Aug. IA building
which was being erected here fell this
afternoon, burying 20 men beneath the
ruins One dead man and four fatally in
jured have already been taken from the
ruins, and the work of digging out the
remainder is still going on. The accident
occurred by the sudden giving way of
derrick, causing the entire structure Of
massive wooden beams and timbers to COL
lapse. But few of the workmen employed
on the building escaped.
The first victim taken out was dead
italian workman. Soon after three others
were discovered and were removed in a
diving condition. Up to a late hour to-
night II men had been taken out from the
ruins of the collapsed factory, all seriously
and four fatally wounded. Several of the
others, 1t Is also feared, will die. The work
of rescuing victims from the ruins was
kept up all night
Many of the men at work in the erection
of the factory lived in neighboring villages,
and when they did not return home from
their work at the usual time their friends
and other workmen came to seek them.
There are hundreds of men at the ruins, and
the work OF rescue Is being pushed for
ward very fast. The injuries of those
taken from the ruins are of the most terri
BILE nature, the limbs of some being torn of,
while the faces and bodies of others were
crushed almost beyond recognition.
LATER-Another dead body has been dis
overed, that of boy named McKeneon.

Crush the Kongo State.
BRUSSELS, Aug 12-Twenty agents Of
the Katanga Company have been killed OF
captured by the Arabs on the Upper Kongo
river. The steamer Berneert, which was
taking goods up the river, was seized and
the factories were raided. Whole tribes on
the western bank of the river are in insur-
rection. The Arabs northwest of Nyangwe
have gone down the Lualaba river and
captured the station at Ribars, killing the
whites employed there. The stations on the
Upper Lomassi have also been destroyed.
The Arabs at Stanley Falls and Isangi who
have hitherto been loyal are showing hostil-
ity. The Kongo State authorities are send
ing reinforcements to various points threat
ened by the Arabs.
The Arabs have grown desperate, owing
to the evident determination of the whites
to suppress the slave trade. From the ad-
vices received at Zanzibar 1t Is feared that

THE RAILROADS NOT In IT,

Steamship Competition Between Frisco
and Gotham Making Cheap Freight.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1.-THE opera
tions Of rival clipper ship lines doing bust
ness between here and New York have led
to large increase in freight shipments,
both east-bound and west-bound. Yester-
day the ship Jeren Mcdonald cleared with
over 1000, 900 pounds of wine, canned goods,
dried fruit and other merchandise, making
the fourth vessel for that port in about six
weeks Under the rivalry of the two prin-
cipal competing line seaboord rates have
gone down, and overland railroad rates on
similar classes of goods are marked for big
reductions.
The eas-bound rate of So so per ton on
barley, canned goods, etc, via Cape Horn,
is the lowest rate ever quoted for through
shipments and represents about $8 per ton
for all classes Of freight. Forty-two thou
sand tons are en- route from New York at
open rate of 35 cents per 100
pounds and Is, 600 tons from Philadelphia
The cut Is about one-third in rates Mer-
chants feel disposed to patronize ship
owners rather than railroads. 1t has be-
come known that the Traffic Association
and number of prominent merchants have
subscribed $50, 900 to guarantee one of the
clipper lines against any probable loss con-
sequent on the low rates by overland freight
lines.

CHARLESTON, s! C., Aug. 12-GSpecial
The first blood over the campaign was
spilled here to-day, the belligerents being
Editor j. H. Moore, of the Daily Sun, and
Mark Morrison. Moore is a reformer, Nor
rison regular. There had been some saw
age attacks by the reform editor upon reg
ular Morrison, and when the two met in q
street car to-day the regular took the re-
former to task. Moore started to get out of
the car, but Morrison stopped him, where
upon Moore pulled his gun and pointed at
the head of his assailant Morrison held
Moore's wrist and jammed the pistol-a
policeman's revolver-against Moore's fore
head bringing the blood Then be jammed
the editor up against the side of the car,
where they contended until a policeman
and a reporter interviewed.
Moore was arrested and taken to the police
station, where he was bailed in $25 to an
swer the charge Of carrying concealed
weapons and assault with intent to kill.
Moore then preferred counter-charges
against Morrison, who was bailed in $40
for appearance tomorrow. The fighting
grew out an of article which appeared In
Moore's paper, in which the word liar was
freely and plenteously used. The campaign
here is getting as hot as the weather, and 1t
is not at all unlikely that before the pri-
mary on the 30th inst there will be some
very warm work. 1t is altogether Demo-
