A project is we'll under way to build
one of the fastest inland steamers afloat
to be used on the Pend d'Oreille river.
Captain George H. Jones owner of the
steamer Red Cloud. is at present actively
engaged preparing the plans and in a
few weeks he will be prepared to let the
contracts for the machinery, huh and
furnishings. AT present it is Captain
Jones intention to have the hull built al
Newport. where all the material can be
conveniently laid down by the Great
Northern railroad. The men emuloyed
to build the hull will be secured at Sc
attic, While the machinery Will be con-
tracted for in Chicago.
At present there are two steamboats,
plying on the Pen d'Oreilla river between
Newport and Box Canyon a distance of
GO miles. Lately the mining and timber
Industries have developed to such an eX-
tent that more and better boats will be
needed for transportation on the river
The timbers to be used in the construc-
ton of the new steamer will be Of oak.
and the planks for the sides will also be
of oak. The machinery will be located a
little aft of the midship line, and will be
| of the very latest improved design The
| dimensions of the boat will be-langth, So
feet; beam, u feet. and draught about 4
! feet. The light draught will enable the
| boat to put in to the shore of the river at
| almost any point.
! While the bulk of the business on the
! river will be freight. the passenger ira flic
! will not be neglected in the construction
! of the new steamer. A luxurious cabin
| in the stern that will accommodate 50
passengers will be a feature of the boat
This cabin will be almost entirely en-

Officers Of several of the big railroad

agents and others concerned to make
stronger efforts to beautify station
grounds and buildings. During the past

given to making the stations more at

The Burlington has accomplished a
great deal in this direction. Last year it

SIMPLE TESTS OF STRENGTH.
Some Exciting Trials of Muscular De. velopment That Require No
 Apparatus.

It occurred to me, says a writer in Pearson's Magazine. that it would be interesting to gather together col lection of strength tests, and to initi- ate the idea of strength-test competi- tions as lively pastime for those too- often-occurring occasions when a num- Der of people are gathered together and have to be amused, and TO amuse- ment is immediately forthcoming.
 A rather exciting test is performed by two people grasping each others right hands. and standing with their right feet pressed together side by side, their left feet little to the rear in a line with their right. Each then endeavors to throw the other off his balance by swaying his arm backward and forward or up and down, by pull ing at it as though trying to drag it from it's socket. This makes a very lively strength competition.
 In another strength test the men sit face to face, knees in the air. toes to- gether, and grasp hands. Then each struggles to pull the other off the ground.
 A new form of foot boxing provides an interesting strength test. Let two men stand on their left legs, each holding his right foot out before him in the air, supporting it by both hands under the knees.
 Then each tries to upset the others balance by pushing with the sole of his foot against the others sole A competitor may hop about as much as he chooses, and may make his at tacks in the form of short, sharp rushes-a steady pressure is not es- sential. In cold type this performance does not seem so exciting and exhila- rating as it is in reality. It is a fine tonic for melancholia.

WHO HOLDS THE WHIP?
Signs of n Breach Between Roosevelt and Hanna Are Not
 Wanting.

Washington adviceS tell us thal leading republican senators are now satisfied that President Roosevelt is proceeding, with a clear and con certed purpose, to tear down the Hanna machine, and to build up his own fortunes by the use of the fed eral offices.
 In no other way can they inter- pret his policy, as recently devel- oped. National committeeman after national committeeman has been ignored and overriden, in direct contravention of the policy of Pres ident Mckinley. Two well-known senators, personal friends of Presi- dent Roosevelt, are said to have called his attention to the fact that he has ignored National Committee men Addicks, of Delaware; Ierkes, of Kentucky; Hawley, of Texas; Gibbs, of New York; Kerens, of Mis- souri, and in addition has allowed Secretary Hitchcock to go over the head of that old republican war horse. Thomas H. Carter, in Mon tana. and has refused to make an ap- pointment desired by Senator Eos ter, of Washington.
 These men, says the Albany Argus, are furthermore said to have told the president that the national com mitteemen are in condition Of panic. and that the senators gener- ally believe that MT. Roosevelt has set up in business for himself. These two friends are reported to have added:
 of you are bent on tearing down the present organization. what are you building in it's place? Where Is the Roosevelt organization coming from Do you think you can be president and run the republican party from the white house as actual leader?
 ''It is easy enough to destroy, but it Is hard to build up. This magnificent ma chine, explained by Senator Hanna. is rap- i idly becoming demoraliZed under these | continued attacks on your part. We want i to see you nominated in 1904, and you want
 to be nominated. Now, if you going l to turn your back on the old men, you l must get some new ores or you will never i win in the next convention"
 1 In other words, who is to be the
 Hanna of the Roosevelt administra. ton? Who is to manage the Roose- welt machine, which the president is
 building up? A man capable of talk.
 ing Mir. Hanna's place as praetiea
 man of affairs, in the detail work ot
 running campaigns, conventions ano
 committees, is not always to bt found at a moments notice. Whom
 has the president in mind? Who is
 to take Mir Hanna's place?

CURED ny ST. JACOBS OIL.
Unable to stnad For Months Becass<
 of Sprnincd Ankles.
(From the Cardiff Tlmes.)

VI AOhi tAC NdltAlh tluttS.l
 Among the thousands of voluntary en. dorsements of the great value of St. Ja. cobs Oll for sprains, stiffness, and soreness, IS tha: oi Mrs: G Thomas, Alexandra Road. Gelli, 1sbrod, near Pontypridd, South Wales, who says
 Tt IS with great pleasure that I add my willing testimony to the invaluable excel fence of your celebrated St. Jacobs Oil, as experienced iE my own case. l sprained both my ankles in walking down some steps so severely that l was unable to stand for several months. The pain 1 suffered was most severe, and nothing that 1 used helped me until l applied St. Jacobs Oil, when they immediately became better daily, and Tn short time l was able to go about and soon after l was quite cured. l am now determined to advise all persons suffering from pains to use this wonderful remedy, which did so much for me
 Mrs. Thomas does not enlighten us as to what treatment she pursued during the months she was unable to stand, and dur Ing which time she was suffering so much, but we venture to suggest that had she called in any well known medical man he would have at once have prescribed St Ja- cobs Oil, for 1t has conquered pain upwards ot fifty years, and doctors know there is nothing so good: The proprietors of St. Jacobs Oil have been awarded twelve gold medals by different international exiiibi- tons as the premium pain-killing remedy of the world. The committees who made the awards were in each instance composed largely of the most eminent medical men obtalnable. Mrs. Thomas evidently did not know the hIga opinion in which St. Ja- eobs Oil Is held by almost every progressive medical man.

DELAY NOT RECIPROCITY.
The Programme of the Republicans Will Favor the Protected
 Interests.

Representatives of the Cleveland chamber of commerce and of the com- mercial organizations of New York, Boston. Pittsburg Buffalo, Cincinnati and Indianapolis called upon President Roosevelt a few days ago to urge the importance of reciprocity with Cana da. The president was non-committal on the immediate matter presented to his attention, but said the whole sub- feet of reciprocity was being can yassed and he hoped something would be done a the approaching session of congress.
 The managers of the political party in control of both branches of congress went into conference with the presi- dent and indicated the policy 10 be pursued. There is to he no reciprocity and no tariff revision. The programme is to let well enough alone" states the Cleveland Plain Dealer. If the commercial and manufacturers or ganizations think present conditions are not well enough" and that unless something k done to better them they will asSuredly become worse. they must be fooled with promises to do something when it is discovered what is the right thing 10 do." eommis- sion to make a thorough inve sti2ation of the entire subjec; of reciprocity and tariff revision is to be proposed and congress will then dismiss the matter from its attention until the report of the commission is made at some dis tant day.

 ect IL takes it's own time to investi- gate reports at the last minute, and either presents conflicting reports and therefore accomplishes nothing, or it's recommendations are utterly dis regarded by congress. The industrial commission authorized by the last congress in order to eyade legislative action on burning question, is hope lessly divided on it's conclusions and nothing practical is therefore expect ed as a result of its prolonged investi- gation The tariff commission ap- pointed under the Arthur administra- ton. nearly a score of years ago, made a voluminous report, including a com plete tariff, and congress proceeded at once to enact tariff utterly at vari- ance with the commissions report.
 The reciprocity policy marked out for this session of congress is pro- crastination.

Under the conditions now de- veloped, the action of congress in the matter of Philippine legislation in the near future will be studied with intelligent interest by the American people. There is strong trust op- position to free trade" with the Philippines. Yet, if the Philippines are held as at present there can be no moral right to tax Philippine ex- ports to this country. Just how the will of the trusts is to be carried out in this matter-the Philippines re- tained as domestic territory and vet taxed as foreign territory-is diff cult to comprehend. The Fifty seventh congress, however. will doubtless do its best to solve the problem to the satisfaction of tho trusts.-St. Louis Republic.
