ALMON S. sEKTER.

The subject OF this sketch was
born in the state OF New Hampshire
in February 1S45 and died at Sho
shone, March 9th, 1899, being fifty
four years of age.
The early history of the subject
of this article is not fully known.
But the writer had quite a lengthy
conversation with Col. Senter about
two hours before he died, in which
we learned incidentally some facts
relating to the biographical history
of Col. Senter.
Col. Senter enlisted in Co. &c. "
of the 9th regiment Of Mass. Vol.
infantry. in August 1862. being
then only seventeen years old, serv-
ing in that regiment during the war
of the rebellion. He was d1scharg-
ed on the Sd day Of September 1864,
after having been engaged in many
severe battles, where the leaden
missiles fell thick and fast about
him, yet he came out unscathed
and unhurt.
Immediately upon his return to
civil life, he entered upon an ap-
premiership, learning the the trade
of carpenter and builder and be
coming very proficient therein.
He migrated to Nebraska in or
about the year 1868, settling at
North Platte, where he was soon
made foreman of the carpenter de-
apartment of the Union Pacific car
shops at that place.
In about the year OF 1878. he en-
gagged in the general mercantile
business at North Platte, in which
business he evidently succeeded, as
hetold us that his sales sometimes
reached as high as $4,000 per
annum.
In 1882 he came TO Idaho, at that !
time Shoshone offered some attrac-
tions, as it was to be the junction
Of the Haley branch and Short
Line railroad, and there was gen
sral opinion at that time the capital
Of the future state of Idaho would
be located at Shoshone.
He at once opened a mercaE-
lie establishment in this town,
which business he conducted sue |
,essfully to the day of his death.
In 1875 at North Platte, Neb. he
married Miss Emma Honn, a young
ady of refinement who as Mrs.
'enter is known by all of our citi-
ems, and also is well known in
many other parts Of Idaho. E
There are left to mourn him in
is immediate family. a loving wife, s
n only daughter, Mrs. Irene K.
'rown, and an only son, Clyde,
Tho is with the volunteer army at

NOGOODS VIA VANCOUVER
HONOLULU MAY LOSE A STABLE
SHIPPING LINE.
Feed Stuffs, Beer, Etc, From Sound
Plans to Save the Trade.

Local merchants have been advis-
ed that when the American shipping
laws are made to apply to Hawaii no
freight can be sent by way of NiCto-
ria and the Canadian steamers to this
port.
At first there was considerable spec
ulation as to what could be done. Sc
attic, Tacoma and in fact all of the
northwest coast, are deeply Interested
and stand prepared to assist i'm any
scheme to save their big and growing
trade with the Islands.
1t is learned that the line operating
the Garonne will put on American bot
toms. If this materialfzes the situa-
tion will at once be solved. There is
also a report that the CA. S. S. COM
pany will put on an American boat
from the Sound to Honolulu solely for
the sake of the trade it now has. 1t is
impossible to confirm this story here
at present.
Speaking of the matter this morning
one of the head men of the house OF
Theo. II. Davies & Co. said I'VE have
every reason to believe that when the
American tariff and shipping laws are
extended over Hawaii, our line of
steamers from Vancouver and Victoria
will no longer be allowed to take
freight from Sound ports for Homo
lulu.
mo, the shipment to Vancouver and
transhipment there on our boats will
make no difference. The freight is
what is known as through freight,
and the traffic will be regarded as di-
rectly between one American port
and another, as much as If it were
direct between Seattle or Portland and
Honolulu.
The loss to our line will, of course
be considerable, but will not deter the
improvement contemplated in the SER
vice. AS for an American auxiliary in
the service to handle the freight from
the Sound country we have as yet hal
absolutely no advices and are not
prepared to speak.
1T may be that the change will not
come in several months, though this
depends altogether upon congress and
the time set for the shipping laws to
apply"
One of the big interests to be affected
by the withdrawal of the Vancouver
service is the Seattle beer business. 1t
is now definitely known that the Ga
rome line will take care of this. There
| may in time be better than the other.
| Another interest in the traffic is the
| flour, hay, grain, etc, with the north
west. which has been and Is very
| large and increasing. An effort will
| be made to handle this also over the
| Garonne system.
A report that the Canadian steamers
| will withdraw altogether from Homo
| lulu when the shipping laws are in ef-
feet lacks confirmation.

THE AVERAGE LIFE.

1t is difficult to determine accurately
the average life of a good bicycle, but
it is estimated that the ordinary per-
son, riding to and from his business
and for pleasure, covers about 1000
miles in a year. There are Sterlings in
use that have been ridden nearly 10000
miles, which would be equivalent to 20
years of average service. One Sterling
bicycle was ridden in one year over
3S, 900 miles, and in doing this the
wheels rotated in their bearings near
Iy 25,000,0 900 times, and the bearings
when examined showed no appreciable
wear. The bearings for the '99 model
Sterling are the S. & j. special drawn
steel, corbonized and ground bone, to
diamond temper, and ground on their
own centers, making them not only
true, but absolutely in line with each
other Felt washers and ball retain
ers are used throughout. The Pacific
Cycle & Manufacturing Co. have so
of the new improved '99 model Sterling
bicycles in transit. They expect part
of this shipment to arrive on the Moa-
ma.

SHE BRINGS $3.50; HER CARGO
BRINGS 1915.
Purchased by L. A. Rostin on Behalf
of a Syndicate-Will Try and Save
the Vessel.

The ship Edward O'Brien sold for
$3.50; her cargo for 1915. l.. A. Rostin,
representing a syndicate was the pur-
chaser of both.
There was quite a crowd at Morgans $
auction room at 10 O'Clock, the adver-
tsed time of the sale. The ship was
sold first. The first bid was $25 and
the second $100. Then II went up $50
at time, to $500 and then, dropped to
S25 advances. The coal was started by
Harry Evans at $500.
AS soon as the sale was over Rostin
sent the schooner Mokulele out to the
vessel He intends to take out coal as
fast as he can. He believes that with
1000 tons of coal out the vessel can
be floated and brought into the har-
Dor. With good weather Rostin and
his associates believe there is a good
chance to save the ship as she is re-
ported to be very strongly built. In
terested with Rostin are some of his
associates in the California Feed Com
pany
With the ship goes a large quantity
of chain and lumber, but not her an
chorS or sails.
