there is not money enough in all
the state of Idaho to build the
system. But it is believed that
such showing can be made as
will induce capitalists to build the
road 1t is no time for hesitation
or halfway or halting policies.
Every citizen who desires trans
portation facilities on Camas
Prairie and the reservation country
can afford to subscribe for a share,
or u half-share, of the capital
stock of the local company.
The form of the subscription is
as follows:
"Whereas, 1t is deemed of par
amount Importance to provide
transportation between Grange
vile, Denver, Cottonwood, Nez
Perce and Lewiston;
"And Whereas, It appears that
an Electric Railway is the proper
means for providing such trans
portation;
"Now. Therefore, We, the
undersigned, hereby subscribe to
the capital stock Of the Grangeville-
Lewiston Electric Railway Devel-
opment Company, in the number
of shares set opposite our names at
the par value Of Ten Dollars per
share, SAID MONEY TO BE PAID Up
ON CALL OF THE TREASURER AND TO
BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF Re-
CoNNAlsANcE SURVEY FOR SAID
ELECTRIC RAILWAY AND CoLLEc-
TIoN or STATISTICS OF TRAFFIC, AND

being agreed that the board of di-
rectors Of said Development Com
pany shall consist Of three mem
bers from Grangeville, one from
Denver, one from Cottonwood, one
from Nez Perce, and three from
Lewiston, to be elected by the
subscribers at a meeting to be
called for that purpose by the

places. A partial survey was
made last year and the estimated
cost is about $4,000 per mile.
However, q thorough survey will
be made and the cost estimated, as
we'll as the probable freight and
passenger traffic. The trolley sys-
tenn is bound to come throughout
this whole region. 1t has proved
it's usefulness and paying qualifica-
tions everywhere it is tried, al
though carrying freight and pas
sengers at a much lower rate than
the steam cars. Why should not
Kendrick and the Potlatch region
join with Lewiston and Grange
vile in establishing such line? It
would prove an incalculable boon
to the people Of this section, nor
have we any doubt as to its pay
ing from the very start. Perhaps
it is little soon for such an en-
terprise here but it is bound to
come in time. e.-Kendrick Gazette.
Those who looked wise when the
first talk of an electric railway be-
tween this city and Grangeville,
was heard, and treated the mat
with ridicule are now con-
fronted with company organ
lied to push the enterprise to COM
pletion. The work of gathering
funds for preliminary surveys is in
the hands of committeeman who
will soon be around to see the en-
terprising men in the communities
affected by the new line. When .
practical route is found the matter
will be placed before men Of cap
ital, with such facts and figures as
can not fail to interest them.
There is as yet no apparent re-
lief for the great Camas Prairie
country and the vast mining
country adjacent so far as the rail-
roads are concerned. President
Mellen in an interview states:
Extension will only be made
when the roads can agree. This
may be q month, or . year or five
years." There is plenty Of freight
in the section affected by the cleo
trio road to make the line profit.

sixth PresiaSt Of the
United SfSs"'',
HE ANNOUNCES HIS POLICY
Requests the Cabinet Of His Dead Pre-
decessor TO Continue in 0ffice-,NO
Extra Session Of Congress.


Buffalo. N. Theodore Roosevelt
became the twenty-siXth President of
the United States just thirteen hours
and ten minutes after the death of
William Mckinley. He took the oath
of office in the small library in the old
Colonial residence of Ansley Wilcox
at 3.35 p. m. on Saturday. At $40
O'Clock n carriage drove up containing
Secretary Root, Attorney General
Knox and United States District Judge
John II. Hazel, of Buffalo The car
riage was closely followed by another
containing Secretaries Ling, Hitch
cock and Wilson. Several other car
riages arrived soon after, bringing the
Presidents secretary, Nil C0rtelyOu;
President Milburn, of th1 Exposition
Company; Senator Depel, Justice AL
bert Haight, of the C0urt Of Appeals,
and others.
The President stood on the
south side of the library, with his back
to a small window, and ahe members
of the Cabinet and the Ien present
stood In a circle facing hip. For some
time Mr.. Roosevelt talked in whispers
with Secretary Root, his brm over the
Secretary's shoulder. Then Secretary
Root stepped back a few PAGES. and
the Vice President stood Enotiouless by
the side of Judge Hazel. There was a
dead silence of several seconds, and
then Secretary Root said:
"Alr. Observation-Disclosures long
pause-'I have been requested by all
of the members of the Cabinet of the
late President Mckinley who are
present in the city Of Buffalo. being
all except two. to request that for rea-
sons of weight affecting the admins
tration of the Government. you shall
proceed without delay to take the con-
stitutional oath of office as President
of the United States"
He spoke with great elaboration,
and so still was the room that had his
words been uttered in whispers they
might easily have been heard by every
one present.
Mr.. R~oosevelt's face was stern and
rigid. Lifting his eyes. he looked
steadfastly into the face of the Secre-
tary for a moment, and in a voice with
marked frmness and all Of his charac.

ton with the coasts of Central Ameri-

THE HUNT FOR ROOSEVELT.
Guides Found Him on Mount Marcy -
Special Train Took Him to Buffalo.

Albany, n. AWAY on the top of
Mount Marcy, attired in full hunting
costume and with his gun slung over
his shoulder. Theodore Roosevelt was
found. and informed by n haggard
travel-stained guide that he was
needed in Buffalo Immediately"
That word of command was sufficient
TO tell him what the weary messen-
ger could not.
When news reached North Creek
that R~oosevelt's presence was demand
ell in Buffalo because of the serious
turn that had been taken in the con-
dition of the President, word immed-
lately was sent to the lower club
house, and thence TO the upper, ten
miles further in the mountains.
Every guide available, and every
club member at once started out in q
| search that seemed hopeless. so great
was the extent of territory to be GOV
cred. All were armed with guns and
pistols, which they fired off at inter-
walls to attract attention. Thus, with
the cracking of pistols and the heay-
Ter reports of shotguns and the hal
loaing of Roosevelt! Roosevelt!
Roosevelt there began a remarkable
hunt for the Vice-President to inform
him that the head of the Nation was
dying.
About 3 o'clock p. m, an old guide
found Roosevelt resting with his COM
panlons and counting their game. The
old guide knew Roosevelt's favorite
haunts and had piloted him there
many times. He saved his lungs and
ammunition until he began the long,
wear ascent of Mount Marcy.
For a long time nothing but echoes
answered to Roosevelt! Roosevelt!
Roosevelt" the name being flung back
mockingly from the mountainside.
Then, as he neared the top, there
came from afar a faint "Halloai"
Then his shots met answering firing
and the lost was found, and the fate
full message delivered to a white
Tipped hunter. Then, forgetting all
fatigue, Roosevelt and the guides
started on Il swinging walk to the up
per club house, ten miles away.
The first message Roosevelt received
gave no details, except that he was
wanted. When he reached the upper
club house, stained and worn with
even the hardy guides tagging far be-
hind, messages were there awaiting
| him, and informing him that McKin-
| ley was dying. They had been brought
by dripping horses urged to a dead run
for ten miles from the lower club
house, which Is the only one in direct
communication with the outer world.
This was shortly before 10 p. m.
Again the fOam-flecked horsees were
dashed into a gallop, where fair roads
permitted, and there began the wild
ride for the lower club house, which
was not reached until after midnight.
More urgent messages awaited Roose-
welt there. The worn out horses were
changed for a swift, fresh team, and
with n good driver he started on the
weary drive of thirty-fve miles from
the club house to North Creek.

cure with local treatment, pronounced it in

constitutional disease and therefore requires

STRIKERS RETURN TO WORK.
More Than 5000 Resume Labor in the
Mills of the Steel Trust.

P~ittsburg, Penn.-With the exception
Of the tin plate workers in Pittsburg
and of the tube mill men in Mckees-
port, the steel strikers rushed back to
work in droves. More than 5000 men,
who had been idle three months, went
in, and there was a general start all
along the line in all trades.
Owing to the retention Of strike
breakers in the mills there was some
confusion in getting the strikers
placed. Many who had expected to
take their old positions found strik-
ers in them and had TO accept other
jobs, in many cases inferior. Others
were unable TO secure positions at all.
The tin plate and the tube men are
still excited over the settlement and
refused to go back.
