DEATH OF D. G. SINCLAIR.
one of the Old Residents of Bonner S
Ferry Passes Peacefully Away.

Daniel G. Sinclair, we'll known
and highly esteemed citizen of
Kootenai county, died last Tuesday
at his home three miles west of
Bonner's Ferry.
The deceased was a native of
Greensborough, Nova Scotia, where
he was born May II, 1884. He was
of religious temperament and
joined the presbyterian church at
an early age; and few men have
lived up to the spirit of its teach
ings more carefully than the de-
ceased.
In 1880 Mr.. Sinclair moved to
the United States and in 1881 de-
clared his intention of becoming a
citizen of the republic. He lived
in Yakima, Washington, seven
years and came to the Kootenai
valley in the spring of 1888. By
dint of industry and wise manage
ment Mr. Sinclair had established
one Of the finest farms on the Koot-
enai river.
He leaves wife and several
children to mourn his death.
The deceased's brother from Yak
ina, Washington, arrived a few
days before Mr.. Sinclair's death.

Indians and HaIf-Breeds Claim
the Entire Valley.
RANCHERs GETTING TIRED.
The Delay of the Government in Set
ting Matters May Cause
Serious Trouble.

The reports of disturbance by the
Indians down the valley still con-
tinue to come in and the ranchers
are about tired Of it and propose de-
Tending their property at all haz-
ards. Ben Grace, who owns a ranch
about 20 miles-down the river, has
been told by Indians who were
cutting hay on his land that they
were going to cut all his hay and
would shoot him if he interferred.
Mr.. Grace located his ranch where
there was no Indian claim, as he
supposed, but when the allotments
were surveyed he found one corner
of the allotment cut into his claim.
He Immediately changed his lines
to conform to the survey, but that
was not what the Indians wanted,
for when the grass was high enough
to cut they began cutting. Mr..
Grace ordered them off and showed
them his lines, but they told him
that Dick Fry told them to cut the
hay anyway. Mr.. Grace came to
town and obtained legal advice in
in the matter and we understand
his counsel gave him the good ad-
vice to protect his property to the
fartherest extreme.
Scarcely a day passes that some
rancher does not come to town with
the complaint that some of the In
dians have in his absence broken
open his cabin and stolen what
there was of value that they could
carry off.
The most of the Indians in this
valley are renegades, many being
from British Columbia. This fact,
however, makes no difference in the
attempt to secure allotments for
them. They will not work the land
themselves and they don't want
any one else to work it. They have
been offered The opportunity to go
to the Flathead reservation but
they wont do that. They prefer to
stay here and steal from and annoy
the settlers in every way they can.

The Ore Coming.

Forty tons Of Blue Bird ore came
in Thursday on the State of Idaho
consigned to San Francisco. This
shipment is the first of a series
which will aggregate about 1000
tons from this mine. Shipments
are to be made from other mines at
once. Mr. Casey, agent Of the
Great Northern has received infor-
nation that the speedy handling
of the ore at this point by the rail
road will in all likelihood bring
nearly all the ore this way. Mr..
Casey informs us that every effort
will be made at this point to facili-
tate the shipments.

Two to One,

About ten o'clock last night Joe
heard a noise in the rear of the
store and at once went out to see
what it was. He saw in the shed
door in the rear of the store face
which in the darkness looked par
ticularly menacing. Joe at once
got his gun and called Jack
and together they started in to cap
ture or slay the would-be robber.
Jack acted as advance guard and as
he neared the shed door he discov-
cred the cause of the disturbance
and remarked: "You --''
Joe thought the desperate had the
drop on Jack and opened fire
After the sound had died away and
Jack could restrain his mirth long
enough to speak he told Joe that
the monkey Jocko would not rot
the store.

financial terms OF the bill are said, however, to
be sub stantially arranged.
In the frst home rule bill the ratio OF Ire

was one-fifteenth total IS 242. 900 per annum
This estimate was based on valuation of prop

The new proposals will make Ireland's con-

were in the building at the time. Three were
buried in the ruins and killed, one was badly
hurt and three escaped uninjured.
The dead are: John McKenna Joseph Wal

Albert Gales, colored porter, was injured
internally.
The collapsed structure was four stories in
height. thirty-ive feet front on Commerce
street by thirteen feet in depth. The three
upper floors were stored full OF paper bags.
In the office in the rear of the building on
the ground floor W. II. Nixon, the head of the
company; Samuel Bayles, the treasurer, and G.
5. Forsythe. agent for the Wilkinson auto
matte stoker, were seated TALKING shortly be-

Marker were working further down toward the
doors.
An Ominous cracking of splintering joists WAS
heard, aud then with terrible suddeuness the
whole upper part of the building came down

enough to have escaped with serious, but not
fatal. internal injuries.
When the building began to cave in, Nc.

dow in the rear Of the store. The first two
reached it, but the tons of brick, josts aud pa
per fell upon them just as they we're about to
jump out and crushed the life out of them.
Wallace was caught further back and up to
late hour last night his body had not been re-
covered.
The three gentlemen in the Office escaped
uninjurfd, the debris fell further front
toward the streets than toward the extreme
rear. They were efectually walled in. how
ever. by the ruins, and were assisted out by
the police and firemen when they arrived on
the scene.
The cause of the collapse of the building
was probably the weight Of paper stored IN the
upper floors, although Air. Nixon claims that
the stock piled up there was not nearly SO
great as il has been on many other occasions
The building is total ruin and will have
to be entirely rebuilt. The loss is about

OBJECT TO BEING TAXED,
Members of the Southern Railroad Associa-

Members of the Southern Railroad Associa-
tion Ask to BE Exem pied.
J. W. Thomas, q. yandenburg, W. f. She'll
man, II. NJ. Conner, A. J. Lawton, jr, and other
members of the executive committee Of tho
Southern Railroad and Steamboat Association
held a quiet meeting in New York Sunday.
The majority of the members left the city on
Saturday night, but some remained to learn
what action the executive committee would
take regarding the taxes which some OF the
roads paid last year. The officers of the roads
in Alabama. Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas,
Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, South Carolina and
North Carolina declare that most of the rail-
roads doing business in the greater parts of
those states ought to be exempt from taxation
for one year at least.
Most Of the roads wish to make improve
ments. but as the revenues are small it is i'm
possible to pay dividends, to say nothing Of
increasing the facilities.
One Of the railroad men, in speaking of the
condition of affairs among the southern rail-
road companies, said after the committee meet
ing: 1.-THE building of railroads in the southern
states has resulted in increasing the wealth
and prosperity Of the country, and still we are
taxed. We better the condition of the country
and the people, and yet we must pay for the
privilege. III we were making anything out of
the states we have improved we should not OBJ
ject, but we are losing money instead of
making it, and it is the opinion Of most of the
railroad men Of the Southern Association that
the states ought to exempt some Of the roads
from taxation. 1t is the intention to make an
effort to bring about certain special legislation
in that direction. Stocks and bonds Of most
Of the southern railroads have materially de-
creased instead Of increasing since the roads
were built and il we do not get better rates,
and are not assisted by reducing our expenses,
many of the roads will either be forced into
bankruptcy or compelled to retire from BUSH

can be furnished from the reservoir outside the

also giving out, and altogether the freeze is
causing serious times in Annapolis. Owing to-

Electricians are curiously interested in the
proposition to operate the canals in New York
state by trolley system. Gov. Flower is re-
ported to be much in favor of the scheme He
believes these inland waterways can be equipped
with the single trolley overhead system for
Sl,000.0o0. He says that he has looked into
the matter carefully. and that, together with
his Investigations and those Of an experienced
electrical engineer with whom he has talked,
he Is fully convinced Of the practicability Of
the scheme.
The state, he maintains, by this system could
rush boats through from Buffalo to Albany at
60 cents a day each. In his estimate of
$1,000, 900 the governor figures the cost Of poles
trolley wires and power houses Ut Albany and
Buffalo and twelve intermediate plants. 1t
costs the canalmen % day now for the feed
ing and care of their horses. The trolley sys-
tenn would be great saving to the boatmen
and would insure quicker transportation. The
electric system would entail an outlay Of from
$3.50 to goo for the necessary machinery for
each canal boat. which would have to be borne
blythe boat owners. The state would save by
this system because fewer repairs would be re-
quired. The governor believes that 1t IL sure

A GREAT CATHOLIC BUILDING.
II 10 Proposed to Erect One In Rome to Cos
10000 900.


10000 900.
Cardinal Patocchi, vicar general Of Rome,
has submitted to the pope vast scheme for
ad ding another to the Catholic edifces Of the
country. The cardinals scheme is to erect on
the Monte vanicule a church with a cupola
equal in size and effect to That OF ST. Peters,
the cost of which lie to be betrayed by contribu-
tons OF the Catholics throughout the world.
Round the sacred edifce 1t is proposed to
group the ecclesiastical colleges Of the different
countries that are now situated in Rome. The
further consideration Of the proposal will be
submitted to commission Of cardinals. The
estimated cost Of carrying out the scheme 10
about "a, 600 600, and it il calculated that its
construction would give employmentto 1000
workmen for six years
More than 300 associations for receiving the
gifts made to the pope on his episcopal jubilee
have been constituted in various countries. and
in Italy there are about eighty committees who
receive funds, part of which serve for the Obolo
and part for the purchase Of presents to the
pope. Other committees will be formed and
there will be at least one for every diocese. II
Is thought that the offerings will exceed those
made on the sacerdotal jubilee, which yielded
more than forty millions lire In smoney. and
about a hundred million objects for presents.
II IL stated that on the occasion of the pope's
take place. the most remarkable being that Of
Father Baldinucci, who was formerly attached
to the Pecci family at Carpineto. For every
saint made at Rome the 'posteator Of the
claim" is obliged to offer to the pontiff pic
ture representing one Of the most remarkable
episodes in the life of the beatifed. The
painter who is commissioned to do the like In
this case is studying how he can bring into re-
lief the relations Of the new saint with the
family who has given TO the church pope In
the person of Leo XIII. Father Baldinucci
was a Jesuit.
The English pilgrimage to Rome which the
Duke Of Norfolk has organized IN connection
with the forthcoming celebration Of the jubilee
OF Leo XIII will include many persons OF in
fuence and high position who have not hereto
fore been prominent in undertakings of this
nature. The duke will be accompanied by the
heads of almost ali. il not quite ALL the re-
ligious houses which have a base of operations
in Great Britain and Ireland and by many
ecclesiastics who occupy large space in the
public eye. All the principal Catholic families
in the united kingdom will be represented in
the pilgrimage. What is even more noteworthy
is the fact That the pilgrims viii not be Roman
Catholics only, but will number several high
churchmen and ritualists.
