Clarke's Fork Bridge Burned Might
Eastbound Train Abandoned.

Clarke's Fork Bridge Burned Night
EastbOund Train Abandoned.
The Northern Pacific had no sooner got
Its track repaired at the scene of the wash
out near Missoula, Mont, and the block
AIDE raised, as it was yesterday. than a new
misfortune was visited upon it. A dispatch
from Missoula yesterday stated that in the
morning two spans of the bridge across
Clarke's Fork river at Clarke's Fork station
In Idaho had been burned. This bridge is
nearly mile long, crossing the river near
the point where it empties into Lake Pend
d'Oreille.
This disaster strikes the road at q very
unfortunate time and place. Since traffic
has been blockaded by the wash-outs
trains have continued to go eastward on
the assumption that by the time they
came back to the scene of the wash-out
the blockade would be raised. This
assumption was borne out by facts, but
just when the accumulation of delayed
trains coming westward began to move
again the road has been cut in two by
the burning of the bridge. The result
is that there are not enough cars west of
the bridge to allow of the continuance of
the regular train service, and the train
at III o'clock was abandoned. 1t will not
run again until further notice, but will
probably be put on again in day or two.
The Northern Pacific has transfer boats
at Hope, Idaho. the next station to Clark's
Fork, and these are being repaired and
taken to the crossing. They will be used
In transferring passenger trains, so that
that class of traffic will be resumed in
day or two. Freight trains will run over
the C9ur d'Alene branch of the Union
Pacific by way of Tekoa to Spokane, where
they will again go on the Northern Pacific
tracks.
During the blockade caused by the wash.
out trains have been coming over the
Union Pacific by way of Pocatello, and the
train due at IL 80 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, having come by that route, arrived at
O'Clock last evening. The arrival of the
next train from the East depends on the
speed with which the arrangements for
transferring trains over C!ark's Fork are
completed

THE MONTlCELLo,s BOILER
IL Has Proven Failure and a New On
Is Ordered.

The boiler in the new steamer Month
cello was tested yesterday. 1t stood the
test well enough to pass, but it is not salts
factory to Captain Hatch and he has
ordered another to take its place. The
one now in the boat is patent water pipe
safety boiler and the one he has ordered is
regular marine boiler. The boat will be
started out Wednesday on her run on the
Hoods canal route, and will continue to
run until the new boiler is ready, when
she will be laid up few days to make the
change. Captain Hatch had an ironclad
contract with the manufacturers of the
boiler and machinery which guaranteed
that every thing must work entirely salts
factory. This throws the loss occasioned
by the delay and expense of making the
change onto the makers. This boiler is
the same make as the one which has
caused so much trouble in the new steamer
Ellis.

Ii is matter of congratuation that our
city is being rapidly improved by good
class of residences. Many who have been
living for years in rented houses have
within the last year built permanent

substantial prosperity of the city And it
is also n matter of congratulations that
business men, who have use for all their
money IN business can, by paying 4 small
part of the purchase price in cash. have
such a home built rs they wish and pay
for it as suits their convenience. This
applies as well TO the man who is en-

SOUTH AMERICAN VAMPIRES.
Arrival of Interesting Geological Speci.
mems at Leschi Park.


The latest addition to the interesting
features of Seattle's geological gardens at
Leschi park consists of some South Ameri-
can vampires. This species of bat has
been the subject of more blood curdling
stories than any other animal or bird and
1t is credited with almost demoniacal in
stinc,s. Visitors at Leschi park can have
an opportunity TO see for themselves what
these vampires are like.
Besides these there are several at,rac-

animals and birds there will be today an

swings and toboggan slide, TO say nothing
OF the beautiful gardens which are now at
their best.
