"A PACIFIC CABLE.
THE MOST POSSIBLE ROUTE DIS
CUSSED ON PAPER

In view of the recent talk Of connect
ing the Pacific coast with the Asiatic
cables by the shortest and most possible
route the following facts are given by
Harrington Emerson an engineer of Phil
adelphia who has been in Alaska two
years studying the question at the re
quest of a syndicate.
The shortest line from Panama to Sin
gapore. both near the equator, is by way
of Dutch Harbor, and by taking that
route 2,695 miles of cable would be need
ed to connect with Asiatic cables while
by the southern route via Hawaii 1000
miles of cable would be required. The
northern line would be on short stretches
of 600 or 700 miles each, from Cape Flat
terry to Sitka, thence to kadiak, Dutch
While on the southern route the line
would go to Hawaii, 1900 miles; Japan
1,S00 miles.
The longer the cable the more expens-
i've in proportion it is. A cable 1000 miles
long requires copper wire and gutta per-
cha five times as heavy as one 100 miles
long, and is harder to lay and much
more difficult to repair. Another ad-
vantage of the northern route is that the
layers of the cable can choose their own
bottom in either 500 fathoms, 1000 faith
oms or 1,50O fathoms, of which 1000 faith
oms is generally considered best, while
on the other route the depth varies
from 5000 fathoms to 4,90O fathoms.
Messages can be sent quicker over the
northern route at the ate of ninety words
per minute. compared with forty via Ha-
wall. 1t is almost impossible to repair
cables in deep water: it cost a French
cable company $465, 900 to repair one
break in an Atlantic line, and there are
three abandoned cables at the bottom of
the Atlantic, costing s10,000OOO, only
needing few renairs
The cost of duplicate line via Homo
lulu would be $50, 900, 600, while an alter
nate line running via Cook Inlet, with a
branch to Skagway, for Sc 000, 900. There
would be more local business on the
northern route and a great share of the
European business with Japan would
come that way. The present tariff from
London to Japan is from $1.50 to 50 per
word, which could be cut in half.

At THE THEATERS
AT SUTTON'S

The Woodward Stock company will
open it's second week at Suttons new
theater on Sunday, November 26, with
grand production of a dramatization of
Dumas famous novel lie Mosquitaires."
The American title of the play is "'rhe
Three MuslSeteers." Some years ago the
celebrated Alexander Salvini toured
through the United States producing
THE Three Guardsmen.'' the first and
only dramatizatiOn of the famous novel
at that time. Since then James O'Neill.
r. H. Sothern and others have produced
versions. and the play has in the east be-
come far more popular than ''rrilby" or
'Cyrano de Bergerac," or any play of
modern times. No expense will be spared
to make the production one of the grand
est events of the season, special scenery
and elaborate costumes having been
made, and a thoroughly artistic and fin
ished production may be looked forward
to. Following is brief synopsis: Robert
Louis Stevenson said: IF l am to choose
virtues for myself or my friends, let me
choose the virtues of DArtagnan. There
is no character-none-I love so wholly,
not even my friends are quite so real.
perhaps quite SO clear-as DArtagnan.
A brief synopsis of the play is as fol-
lows: "A fiery young Gascon adven-
turer leaves his home for the first time
to seek his fortune in Paris. After many
adventures and much trouble he finally
gains the position of Il musketeer in the
queens guard. He falls in love with his
landlady. who is a waiting maid of the
queen. Cardinal Richelieu. then in his
prime and who ruled France by his sway
over the pleasure flowing King Louis. had
devised a plot to ruin the queen because
she had refused his advances His main
tool was Lady De Winter. who was for
merly the wife of Athos. a musketeer,
and a strong friend of d Artagnan. The
queen in a weak moment gave the Duke
of Buckingham, who had made a secret
visit to France, twelve diamond studs. a
present to her on her marriage day from
the king. as a token of her regard. Lady
De Winter discovering it. apprised the
cardinal. and he at once dispatched her
| to England in quest of two diamond
studs; the other ten We're to be left in
| the dukes possession. The cardinal then
| induced the king to give state ball, re
questing that the queen wear the dia-
mond studs, which he knew to be left in
the dukes possession. Constance, the
queens waiting maid, comes to the res
cue. enlists D'Artagnan and sends him in
quest of the diamonds. which he sue
ceeded i'm obtaining, with the exception
! of two, Lady De Winter being before
hand in having them extracted. At the

who gives them to the king just as the
| queens downfall seems certain. Lady

court and the queen and the musketeer

One Of the many feats OF daring per-
formed during the campaign in the Phil
ippines last spring was the CAPTURE of the
burning bridge at Tarbon by Lawton'.s
scouts. This was a body of 20 men Sc
locted from the Oregon and North Da-
kota volunteers and the Fourth cavalry,
and were under the command OF Lieuten-
ant Thornton of the Oregons. They at
tackled 200 Filipinos posted behind breast
works on the opposite side of an unford-
able stream, and drove them out, crossing
a burning bridge in order to do so. They
then put out the fire by carrying water
in their hats and saved the bridge for
the passage OF Lawton's army. This is
hut one of the many Incidents of the war
that Captain Wells describes and illus
tlates in his lecture, which will be given
at the Grand Opera House December Z,
using fine stereopticon views made from
photographs taken at the front, some of
them in the fire and smoke of battle.

During the week large shipments of
potatoes We're received from Washing
ton and Oregon, which We're the first
shipments of the season from that sec
ton. The potato yield in these two states
was very prolific this year, and the short
age caused by the failure of the Montana
potato crop this year will be largely sup
piled from this source, as the Idaho crop,
which has much to do With regulating the
price of potatoes in Montana markets,
was very poor. In consequence of these
shipments from the west potatoes
dropped to 95 cents, with 81 asked for
extra good mealies. The indications are
that the price will go lower.
Oats still command fancy figure, sell
ing today at $1.2OMSl25, which is the
highest mark reached by this product in
years. The Montana Oat crop is very
short this year, on account Of the poor
growing weather OF last season. and
many farmers are holding their oats for
a better price. 1t is predicted that oats
will sell at 81 40 before the end Of the
winter. With this price in prospect the

9rHE GRAND JURY AT VILLAGE

The grand jury in Shoshone
county will probably do its full duty.
It can accomplish much in the in
terest of peace and order, for upon
n careful investigation of the i'm
portant matter now before it depends
in a great measure the future well
fare Of the county. A condition of
affairs has existed in some parts of
the Ceur d'Alenes which ought to
be thoroughly looked into and venti-
lated, and influences which have
worked to the detrlment of the COM
munlty should be summarily up
rooted. AS public agents for the
accomplishment of this work the
grand jury will be given all necessary
authority and their labors ought to
result in lasting benefits to the min
ing district which has of late been in
such sore trouble.
The charge of Judge Stewart fully
sets forth the importance of the task
which the grand jury has before it.
There should be thorough investi-
cation. AS he well says: Ascertain
what was done, who participated In
these acts, by what authority they
acted, who directed the action and
what were the motives; then fix
criminality where it belongs, whether
it may be one, two or many who
were implicated in these unlawful
acts. Let me impress upon you that
your duties are grave and important
Much depends upon your actions a;
to whether the guilty shall go un-
punished. Much depends upon the
result of your investigation as to
whether insurrection and rebellion
shall exist, or continue to exist, ir
this county. Remember that the
law protects the innocent, and be a.
firm and ready to exculpate and ex
onerate the innocent as you should
be to indict the guilty.
This is strong, rugged advice
given in the interest of good orde
and with high respect for the law
It will no doubt be needed with al
honest fidelity to duty and resolut,
determination to see that the inno-
cent are protected and that thu
guilty are dealt with as they deserve
