every noon for twenty-nine days Schwan-
niger has eaten two roast pigeons in a
saloon at Tenth and Sidney streets. Thus
far he has consumed every portion Of the
pigeons and has experienced no i'll effects.
He is pronounced a wonder by his asso-
ciates, who firmly believed that there was
not a man that could eat even one pigeon
every day for whole month.
For a money consideration" says
Schwaninger, "I am willing to continue the
diet for thirty more days. I don't look
bad, do I? 1 never felt better in my life
and 1 have not yet begun to hate the sight
of the birds, as hear some people do when
they are in a match like this. like them

STRIPPED TO THE WAIST
Look at the ship below. In just one hour
and fifty minutes she has been stripped
to the waist so to speak, and all her bulky
lines stand out in bare relief, doubly en-
phaszing the might OF her murderous
guns now peering straight out with an
ominous absence of tomplons. At the mast
head, in unspoiled beauty, flutter the proud
folds of Old Glory.
A few short taps of the drum and all
hands hasten to their several stations.
most of the men barred to the waist for the
sake of that freedom of movement de-
manded by nervous Impotence. The chap
lain, who has really endeared himself to
the crew by feeling of manly fellowship,
goes about quietly. taking first from one
and then another of the men little packet
which is to be sent to the loved ones at
home in case anything should happen, or
exchanging a few words of kindly, helpful
cheer with those that seek his greeting.
In few minutes he will go below to help
the doctors and to smooth the chilling
brow of some poor shipmate.

that leads below to the protective deck.
With barred hands and naked feet the
guns crews cluster about the larger pieces,
waiting with beating hearts for the mo-

Seven Hundred Majority.

The following was put in type
last week and we have seen no rea-
son to change our estimate. The
week has been ia fa~Cr Of the Silver
ticket. The republican speakers
have had no other effect than to
line the silver men up for the ;ick
ct and put them on their mettle.
When the Union Silver ticket
was nominated, the silver people
felt certain of at least 800 majority
for the ticket, AS the campaign
has progressed it has become evil
dent, from a careful canvas of the
county, that the majority would be
at least 700, and it II believe that
it will far exceed that figure.
The majority for the silver ticket
will exceed the entire republican
vote.
The only fight Of the campaign
from now until election day is as to
the size Of that majority. To that
end silver people should get out and
register and be at the polls to vote
We should give the cause such a
send off in Kootenai county that
even our gold standard friends will
not fail to understand the verdict,

Fred H. Bradbury will be the
next sheriff of Kootenai county.
Mr.. Bradbury is the gentlemen who
ran so far ahead of his ticket two
years ago, over exceptionally strong
competitors, showing his great
personal popularity. This in ad-
dition to his great lead from party
standpoint over his opponent will

sheriff of Kootenal county. To

Make the Verdict Emphatic.

As a large number ofextra copies .
of this issue are being sent out, the +
following is reproduced from last
week:
Mr.. CALLAHAN, the Silver candi-
date for county auditor, struck
KEY note in his speech before the
silver club last Wednesday night
when he stated that there was only
one issue left to be disposed Of in
this campaign and that was the
size of the Silver majority. The
people of silver Idaho are for BIZ
metallism. They understand their
interests. and the followers of
Hanna and Gage and Alger had
Just as we'll but their heads against

1000 men would be put to work
in Kootenai county alone inside Of
six months on low grade silver
mines if silver was restored to the
position it held before the gold bug
curse struck the land. The laborer,
the rancher, the mechanic, the bus
mess man-all would then enjoy a
prosperity that would need o
argument to sustain it. And yet
certain influences have the gall to
send gold speakers into Kooten
County,
Mr.. Callahan is right. 1t is
simply a matter of how emphatic
we can make the verdict.

FAR ASTHE GOLDEN GATE
CANADIAN PACIFIC CARRIES THE
WAR INTO FRISCO
Cut OFF by the Southern Pacific, the
Ocean Route Is All That Is Left
the Canadian ROad-Western
Roads Will GrappIe With the Sit
untiOn Today at Chicago.

: CHICAGO, March S.-The Canadian
Pacific has announced that it will take
its reduced rates into San Francisco.
1T declares that from that city to
the East it will make the following
rates: st. Paul, $25; Chicago, $3.50;
New York, $40.
These rates are first-class and the
second class rates will in each instance
be SO lower than the rates given above.
J. In making these rates the Canadian
Pacitic will have to content itself with
the ocean route from San Francisco to
the Western terminus of its line.
The Southern Pacific will not allow 1t
the use of it's Shashta route and the
ocean route is all that is left for it.
AT the present time there is a fight on
between the steamship companies and
the Southern Pacific, which has pulled
down lthe rates between San Francisco
and Portland to So net. The Canadian
Pacific has taken advantage of this
and has decided to carry the fight into
the chief points on the Pacific coast
that are within its reach.
A call was today issued by the chair
man of the Western Passenger aSso-
citation for q meeting of the general
passenger agents of the roads of the
organization, to be held tomorrow, for
the purpose of cnsidering the latest
phase of the fight with the Canadian
Pacific
At the meeting the propriety of ask

Northern either to abolish the rebate

SCI the freight men to discussing the status
~ the lake and rail situation 1t was left
over from the fall. At meeting to be held
n Chicago week from today the ground
will be gone over, and the lake and rail tar
ifs will be framed up by the lines con-
cerned. The lake and rail rates depend
somewhat upon the conditions of all-rail
rates when the lakes break up, and 1t Is
there the study is being put in.
AS decided at the meeting held here Tues
day, the grain rate, Minneapolis to the East,
will go up from q cents to New York and
% cents to Boston to % cents; that is. the
proportional rate, Minneapolis to Chicago.
will be lifted from to 10 cents and the
inside price. Chicago to New York, will be
10 cents
Now if the tariff conditions are restored
at the same time the advance is made from
be 30 cents per 100 pounds or Is cents across
the lake.
In the event of this advance, the lake and
rail rate will undoubtedly open at 241a cents.
this figure being made up by the differentials
established several years ago. However the
lake diferential from Chicago has been
changed from to 3 cents. Then by adding
and Duluth the rate from Duluth will be
212 cents above Chicago or 1919 cents, and
the rate from Minneapolis will be cents
, higher. or Y1h cents
If the advances mentioned are not made the
lake and rail rate will be cents per 100
pounds lower than the actual rate in effect
all-rail. but the freight men believe they
will be made to the East. 1t is believed
here that navigation ill be opened up no,
later than the middle of April.
