Capt. Lenau, Of Kalispell, was in
the city the fore part of the week
in the interests of the new passen-

and others are going to put in the
Kootenai, mention of which was
made in the HERALD recently.
The Captain says he will have a
force of thirty men at work by
February 1. The machinery will be

The new boat will be q flyer. 1t

1t will be built especially for pas

cost is estimated at 100000 and it
will be the finest appearing vessel

Bonner's Ferry now the Only

HER PULL WILL BE PERMANENT
Winter Communications now open with

Bonner's Ferry has assumed new
life this week owing to the reopen
ing of traffic between Bonner's Fer
ny and the great mining camps
across the line. The road from
Bonner's Ferry to the head of the
Lake is now open. 1t is reported
to be in excellent condition, and it
must be, as Cheney and Smiths
stages make the run down the val
ley in one day. Passengers leave
here in the morning, make connec.
tions with the steamer at the lake
and land in Kaslo on the evening
Of the same day. The stages will
leave on Mondays, Thursdays, and
Saturdays hereafter, returning on
alternate days.
The first stages left Wednesday
morning with sixteen passengers,
and this Saturday morning four
coaches pulled out with thirty three
passengers.
The freight traffic will also be
quite heavy. VIM Van Gasken
was down to the Lake last week,
and scared the contract for for
warding all the freight. There was
six car loads in the yards to com
mence with. All the freight teams
available We're put into service.

start the proposition Of winter

put in successful operation, and
we congratulate the men here and
at Kaslo who put their money into

for both towns, and will yield big
returns on the money donated.

DolNGs OF THE LEGlsLATuRE.
JANUARY 13.

After busy session today both
houses of the legislature adjourned
till 10 o'clock Monday morning.
The most important business of the
senate was the introduction of an
apportionment bill by Mr.. Morris,
democrat, of Idaho county. The
bill bases the apportionment on the
vote for governor at the recent cleo
ton and provides that each county
shall have at least one senator, do
ing away with all joint members in
both houses. J. w. Reid of Lew
iston assisted in the preparation of
the bill for the purpose of appor-
tioning those counties where there
is large Mormon vote not hereto
fore cast. That vote is estimated as
follows: Bear Lake 700, Bingham
5000, Cassia $50 and Oneida $50.
The apportionment of the senate is
as follow: Shoshone 2, Kootenai 1,

slump sneaking IN the West.


1t is a report highly creditable to the
good sense and intelligence of the rural
American voter-the paper in The North
American Review. in winch Mr. William
Dudley Foulke records his experience as
political campaigner in the west He
says what is certainly true-that it is
easy to make the unlettered understand
any question Of politics if the speaker
has the gift of putting it in plain, simple
language. That is the orators highest
gift. The colloquial style is the best,
Mr.. Foulke tells us: but rant. noise. de-
clamation and stale jokes are of the past.
1t is things to think about that the peo-
pie want now-not stories to tickle their
humorous sense.
Once Mr.. Foulke was at a political
meeting at which Senator Sherman
spoke. He made no attempt at orator
ical display What he said was clear.
quiet and simple. The audience listened
to him with attention. but applauded
him very little He was followed by an
orator who told great number Of com
monplace stories and was uproariously
applauded But Sherman was the man
who gained the votes
Strangely enough. Mr.. Foulke. who has
spent half his life east and the other half
west. believes that the western man
the plain looking farmer and mechanic"
understands the economic questions of
politics better than the eastern man.
The eastern man will detect an error in
grammar sooner. but the western man a
flaw in argument first He comments
especially the farmers and mechanics of
Indiana for their intelligence But these
intelligent people ought to have the
grammar too Open air meetings make
the greatest show but indoor meetings
are the ones that convince the voter
Especially encouraging are the following
evidences of the new departure in polit-
ical methods:
The professional story teller is at a discount.
An apt illustration Is always in place, and IL
ought to be. but speaker who goes through
the country today telling of the Republican
pup winch mas us eyes open ana the Demo-
cratic pup which has its eyes closed will not
win votes, even If he gets the whoops and
plaudits of the boys and torch bearers in his
audience. Most disastrous of all is the abusive
speaker, the man who insists that all Repub-
Leans are boodiers or that all Democrats are
imps of hell. Personalities. unless they be the
mere recital of clearly proved facts IN the pc
itical records of the men assailed. are most
unfortunate. Vituperative epithets are worse
than useless. The facts must speak for them
selves.
There has been great deal Of satire written
and believed regarding the absurd arguments
which have sometimes succeeded in influence
ing the verdict of jury in a trial at law or in
influencing the judgment of the multitude in
the trial of political issues. Undoubtedly per-
sonal, local and political preiudces cannot be
ignored, but with the spread of general intell-
gence these factors become constantly of less
account. Political speakers often think that
they have to descend 70 the comprehension OF
their hearers, when. in point Of fact. the good
sense of the men who listen is quite as great az
that of the man who addresses them

The plan of the work, now nearly
complete, to utilize the power of Mag
ara falls is as follows The river is
tapped a mile above the great fall and a
portion of water drawn off through a
canal. At intervals along this canal
wells or vertical shafts are dug down
into the ground. The water from the
canal falls though the shafts one after
another upon turbine wheels that whirl
and develop the power for the machine
works that will be built along the canal.
Great plants are already in process of
erection. After the water has done its
work it passes off into a tunnel which
discharges it quarter of a mile below
the falls.
