asm.

rotary. After naming the committees on
order of business and resolutions the con-
vention took recess till l o'clock.
AS the result of nearly all night eau
cuses, c. b. Hopkins of Spokane with
drew from the contest for delegate to
the national convention and King county
likewise pulled down Hughes. A bitter
fight was on against John L. Wilson, oveI
the shoulders of Hopkins. Thursday

From all the country tributary to
Cheney come the most encouraging re-
ports of the prospects for grain, hay
and fruit crops. Old settlers say they
have never known the ground to be wet
to so great depth as at present. Winter
wheat, of which a large acreage has
been planted, is springing up like
magic. The seeding of spring grain is
progressing rapidly. Fruit trees are be-
ginning to blossom.
Mrs. Alice Parker living four miles

The railway committee in the Cana
dian house of commons has killed the
preamble of the bill for a charter to
build the Kettle River Valley railway
into Boundary Creek, to connect with
the Great Northern thus giving the
Grand Trunk Railway, through Chica
go connections, access to British Co
lumbia. This is the charter so long
sought by D. c. Corbin, and so per
sistently withheld by the Dominion
government. The valley of the Kettle
river offers the natural route into the
Boundary country.

long to the white claimants.
An unknown man, about so years of
age, was run over and instantly killed

way of the section car.
Several hundred specimens Of wood
have been furnished the civil engineer
ing department of the University by

white fir and spruce have been furnish
ed, and white pine and cedar are to fol-
low.
For months there has been an alb
normal demand for houses of all kinds
in Wallace, and the early coming of
spring has given a start to building.
1t is usually month or two later than
this before much building can be done.
Those in a position to build were gen
orally unprepared for commencing Sc
early, SO thus far there is little done
in the way of residences except to pre-
pare.
Both the Canyon Creek Electric Light
Company and the Wallace Manufacture
ing Electric and Water Company are

The Canyon Greek company is putting

flesh was torn from his body and his
feet and legs were severed from the

ton to the boys mother and she got to

lowed completely unnerved everyone
who witnessed it.

bound westward, those who were guild
ing the fast moving machine, propelling
the luxuriously appointed train, little
thought that In few minutes the on
gine would be an instrument of death.
Vito Sulli, performing his duties as a
section hand, near Ruby, failed to hear
the rumbling of the train as it neared
him, coming round slight curve, and
in an instant his life was shut off for
ever, the body of the unfortunate man
being ground to pieces under the driving
wheels Of the big locomotive.
No ono was to blame, still there is sad
ness in contemplation of what sad news
must be carried across the big waters to
Italy's sunny land, to the waiting wife
and mother.
Sulli was born in Italy and was only
here temporarily, as most all OF the res
idents from that sunny land are He
was industrious and was endeavoring to
save sufficient to go back to the mother
country and live.
The remains were brought to this city
