erdDu scenery on TREAT
Great Difficulties Overcome.
The Kalispell Graphic of March 9 says:
The Great Northern track IS now com
pieted TO Tuohy's tunnel. The scenery
up Smiths valley is grand. The road fol-
lows Ashley creek for long distance,
crossing it several times. One bridge
across this stream is 40 feet high. After
leaving Batavia. the first siding west OF
halispell, the mountain climb is begun,
and grade of ] Z per cent is encountered
until the summit is reached. The line
lies along the side of the mount
ain, and every line places the val
ley farther below. Here is where the
heavy rock work is found that delayed
tracklaying so long. and it is not surpris-
ing when one sees il TO know that delay
was occasioned. In some places deep
cuts through solid rock are found. and in
other places deep rayines had TO be filled
with rock TO get roadbed. 4 section
house and water tank IS built at Pana, the
second siding. and other permanent i'm
proyenents are beng made. 4 few miles
west of here a lot of stakes can be seen in
the ground. showing the site OF F.athead
City, of which we heard so much about
last summer. The driving of the stakes is
the extent OF its growth.
Smiths valley is beautiful place, and
IS pretty well settled up. Most OF the
farms are improved and fenced in. Hun
dreds of cattle are being wintered there.
No section of the Flatnead affords better
feed and shelter for stock in the winter
than Smiths valley. There is also an
abundance of water there. Splendid speci-
mems OF mineral have been found in the
mountains where the grading has been
done, and it would be worth the while of
prospectors to give some attention to the
hills just west OF here.
At the summit, which is about twenty
miles west of here and about 300 feet
higher, there is some snow. but few
more warm days and it will soon leave.
The weather is fine up there, however
The track has been ballasted for q long
distance west of here. and except where
the ground is covered with snow it is in
splendid condition

Among the guests OF the Grand hotel is
David Ferris, manager of the Oregon and
California Lumber Company, of Portland
who has come 10 the Sound on business.
In an interview with PosT-ISrELLIGFyCER
reporter yesterday he said:
We buy lumber aud shingles from all parts OF
the Coast for local sale and shipment East. and
buy our shingles principally in the Sound coun-
Try. We frequently buy the whole product of a
Mil. having done so last yesr at the Buckley
mill. The Northern Pacific rosd from Portland
north IS lined with shingles and lumber mills,
and even the mills on the Columbia river
re. their logs from the Cowlitz river on this
eide. The recent extension OF the through rates
through the states west OF the Mississippi
has opened the way for Washington shingles,
and they are coming into general use through
Illinois, Iowa Missouri and Kansas Wherever
they so they viii stay. They are also getting
into states further east, lar as Ohio. but they
are not sold a. extensively there. as they come
into competition wiki q very good article there
The single trust has been a very good thing
for the trade. can say that, though ! am not

Of prices is good thing from another point OF

Tried for Murder in Oregon-Judge
Crotty Denies Charges.

Judge Crotty, formerly OF Tacoma, says
that the only connection he ever had with
Frank Coleman, the absconding station
agent of the Great Northern road at Stan
wood, was that he defended him in
trial for murder in Union county,
Oregon, last November. He says that
man named Patrick Skinner was found
dead and terribly beaten against an iron
railing. and Coleman and Abner Hall were
charged with numbering him. 1t was
proved that the immediate cause of
death was morphine poisoning and
Coleman. was acquitted OF murder and
convicted OF simple assault. Hall was
convicted OF murder for giving him poison.
Judge Crotty denies that he is conf
dence man, and says he was never asso-
ciated in any way with McCoombs.

Written for THE MORNING CALL

'El Camote" sat in the door of his little
cobbler-shop on the Parian, in Guaymas.
putting the finishing touches to boot which
had been left by a customer to be half
soled.
Although lie had a sign over his shop
which proclaimed that ID. Antonio Soto
mayor was a 'Zapatero de nuevo de viejO"
a shoemaker iii new and old footgeaI-
"El Camote" had not made a new pair of
shoes for many day.
The hateful Chinese with their pigtails,
who dined of rats and yellow puppies, had
long since monopolized his trade, and not a
dude, or, as he called them, "gentes de
leyite," patroniZed him any more. And it
stood to reason that common man, a
"trabaj ad0r," was not going 10 pay him four
or five dollars for shoes, when he could get
as good ones from those 'perros Chinos"
Chinese dogs for two aud quartz r.
Since his uncle, the "buSo"-peace be to
his ashes, now resting in the Pantheon
had died and left Don Antonio $500 more
than year ago, slowly saved up from his
earnings as pearl-tSher in the gulf, ''El
Camote," who never before had possessed
ten big Mexican dollars at one time, had
met with sad misfortune. "El CamOte'
was not well-built man. His legs were
twisted into such a queer shape that his
friends, not TO hurt his feelings. but merely
because every man must nave nickname
at Gusymas, had christened him the sweet
Potato" Camote is the vulgar name for
this succulent tuber, and in their in
stants of ELUSIVE j)lity they even called
him ''El Camotito." tdidn't matter much.
Didn't he himself apply the names of
"Burro," the donkey. and "Cucarache,"
the c0ekroach TO his own cronies?
AS "El CamOte" laid down the finished
boot he lit a cigarette aud was soon lost in
a brown study. His thoughts went back TO
the time when he had made his first pair Of
ladies' shoes. They were for a girl in the
neigh borhOod, and from that dav destiny
willed it that he should be her abject slave.
Pillar was then beautiful maiden Of 16
with long black tresses that reached down
TO her waist, large flashing eyes and mouth
with such inviting cherry lips that poor
"Camotto' never again could think of any,
thing else Add to these charms pearly
teeth, smlll but symmetrical, and a clear,
lght-oliye skin that did not prevent the
