ELEVATED BICYCLE ROADS.
Demand Said to Exist for Such structurel
In Large Cities.

Demand Said to Exist for Such Structures
In Large Cities.
The proposed building of an elevated
bicycle road between Chicago and Mil
waukee, distance of eIs hty-hve miles,
says the Engineering News, is an in
dication of the Importance the ''wheel"
is assuming as means of transport.
In many localities it is already inter-
fering with the income of trolley
suburban lines almost as much a.
these lines have affected the traffic on
steam railways. In large cities special
streets are now set apart for bicycles
and suitable smooth roadway is pro-
vided; in other cases petitions are
being actively circulated asking that
such facilities be provided. The wheel,
in fact, has superseded horses in great
part, and the speed obtainable makes
it formidable rival to electric or other
mechanical means of transport over
considerable distances.
The Engineering News is not pre-
pared to say how many bicycles are
now used by the men of New York city
and vicinity in reaching their places of
business, but finds it safe to say that
large as the number is it would be vast
ly increased with smooth, direct and
unobstructed roadway provided espe-
cially for this class of travellers.
There shoald be a round profit in an
elevated bicycle road, the Engineering
News says, extending from beyond the
Harlem to the Battery in New York
for the enterprising capitalists who
first secure the right to build it. 1t
would be a cheap road to construct, for
the maximum load would be very light
on an eight-foot or a ten-foot wide
structure carried on posts on each sid Q
of the street. It would be the least OBJ
jectionable Of all roadways in opera
tion, for there would literally be no
noise and no dirt, and as the wear upon
its road surface from pneumatic tires
would be unappreciable the cost OF
maintenance would be equally light
A few toll collectors and bicycle stable
masters at intervals along the line
would constitute the entire working
force.

IDAHO, SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER %, 1895.
TREASURY ExhieiT.
Display ut Atlantis win BE the Finest
Ever Attempted by the Department.


Ever Attempted by the Department.
The treasury department is prepar-
ing to make the finest display it ever
has attempted for the Atlanta expo
sition. It made a good display at the
worlds fair, but the show was admit
tedly incomplete, and will be entirely
eclipsed by the display prepared for
Atlanta. This is not because the treas
ury did not want to do its best at the
worlds fair, but simply because it did
not have the time to show off well at
the Columbian exposition.
One of the most interesting things in
the exhibit will be the check which
Great Britain paid this country for
depredations committed on American
commerce by the steamer Alabama
The check is gold certificate and is
made out for s15,5O0,000. 1t was paid
through Drexel, Morgan s. Co. and Jay
Cooke & Co. It is signed on the face by
John Allison, register of the treasury,
and F. E. Spinner, treasurer OF the
United States. On the back it bears
many Endorsements, the most prOmi-
nent of the names being those of Ed
ward Thornton, then the British min
ister to this country; Hamilton Fish,
secretary OF state, and William A. Rich
ardson, secretary of the treasury.
Probably the prettiest things in the
whole exhibit are the new per cent.
bonds the government recently sold to
the Morgan-Belmont syndicate. They
are made in the shape of United
States flag with the coupons taking the
place of the stripes. They are big
things, one of them taking up an entire
sheet Of the display.
The earliest issue Of bonds, then
shown in the exhibit, was made in 1776,
on account of the first loan this coun-
try negotiated wi tn France. Then
follow, in order of dat es, specimens OF
bonds issued to replenish the treasury
from time 20 time during the progress
of the revolutionary and civil wars
down to the present time, the last loan
being that of 1895, redeemable in 1912.
AS shown by specimens, the earliest
coupon bonds were issued in 1912. The
sloan Office certificates are probably
as interesting as any other feature Of
this collection. Many have the interest
figured out on the edge Of the note,
showing that the holders had puzzled
their heads to find out what Uncle Sam
owed them. The bonds of the large 4
per cent. loan of the late war times
have a place in the exhibit, and they
take up quite a good deal of space.
They are both coupon and registered
bonds, the highest denomination OF
the former being $1,000 and that of the
latter being s50, 900. The $4,000 regis
tered bond is the largest ever issued by
this government. No coupon bond is
issued with a higher denomination than
81 900.

OIL INSTEAD OF COAL.

Locomotives on the Southern Pacific Road
In California to Make the Change.
Before many weeks all the locomo-
tives on the local system of the South
eIn Pacific in Oakland. Alameda and
Berkeley, SO says the San Francisco
Chronicle, and probably many on the
main line. will be burning petroleum
instead of coal. The Southern Cali
fornia railway has twelve locomotives.
equipped with patented device for
burning petroleum, and is preparing to
equip all it's engines in the same man
ner. By adopting oil the company has
effected saving Of twenty per cent. in
the cost of it's fuel The petroleum is
the thick, crude product of the oil wells
near Los Angeles, unlimited quantities
of which can be had at small cost. Ar
rangements have been made by the
owners of the oil wells to ship the sur
plus product to San Francisco, and it is
said that the Southern Pacific will be the
principal purchaser. Mr.. Fillmore and
Mr.. Small have figured out that to use
the oil as fuel for locomotives at cost
not to exceed that of coal it would
have to be purchased for not more than
rs cents a barrel, delivered il San Fran
cisco or Oakland. As the oil can be had
for 25 cents barrel in Los Angeles, the
company has no fear but that it can Sc
cure unlimited quantities of the oil, de-
Gvered for much less than IS cents
and effect a large saving by utilizing it
instead of coal, which now costs the
company $3.50 per ton.
Several locomotives are to be
equipped with the necessary spraying
devices, arclled tireboxes OF fire brick,
and tanks for the storing Of the oil, and
experiments with the new fuel will be
made as soon as the engines are ready.
Petroleum was burned on the steamer
Piedmont several years ago. and with
considerab BILE success, as far as the mat
ter of expense is concerned. One day,
however, the startling discovery was
made that the rivets in the boilers had
nearly all been burned off, and the
boat was Immediately overhauled and
equipped with fire-boxes designed fo1
burning coal. This action of the oil on
the boilers was attributed to the in.
tense heat, and the heads of the operat-
ing department think that the defect
which nearly caused catastrophe OF
the steamer Piedmont can be easily
avoided in locomotives if the spraying
of the oil is properly done.

Rescued By Grasshoppers.

James Clone, farmer of.Stonyford, N.
Y, was the other day being chased by
an enraged bull, which at every stride
was shortening the distance between it
self and the terrified sprinter. just as
the bull was preparing to lift its victim
by the slack of his pants and toss him in
to the next county cloud of grasshop-
pers rose from an adjacent clump OF
bushes and struck his bullship squarely
In the face and turned him from his
course, thus affording Mr.. Clone IN op-
portunity to escape, and a. result the
grasshopper has at last found favor In
the eyes OF one farmer at least.

Only . Remnant Left Of . Once Powerful
Indian Tribe.
The census of the Pottawatomie In
dams of southwestern Michigan has
just been completed and shows the rem
nant of this once powerful tribe to
number only 218 souls. The enumerai
ton was. taken under direction of the
department of the interior and WIS for
the purpose of finding the number who
are entitled to participate in the distri-
button of $1O4, GOO. claimed as arrears
due the tribe. For q score or more of
years Indians have planned, hoped and
schemed to get money. The claim was
finally favorably considered in the
court of claims at Washington, says the
Detroit Free Press, and the money will
be distributed among the Indians as
soon as the guardians are appointed for
the minor children and certain legal
formalities complied with. &
At the tina Of the first settlement
with the Indians, soon after the civil
war, they were in terrible straits and
were induced to accept the sum Of eSo,-
600 in full payment OF their claims
They accepted it under protest, how
ever. and the present claim has been
pending since that time. The money
was soon speut in dissipation. and the

The steamship Portland was wrecked
in an odd way near Dunga's island,
Alaska, some two weeks ago. The
cause was the great and sudden fall OF
the tide in that region. Thick weather
came on when the steamer was nearing
Dunga's island, on her way from Seattle
to the Chinook river, and she anchored
for the night. The tide there has q 1ah
