A BULLET FOR A BLOW.
A Negro Boy Wounded Fatally by a Saloon
Keoper.

Especial to the News and Observer
Scotland Neck, N. c., Oct. 11.-Yester-
day colored boy named Smith died at
HObgOOd as a result of a pistol shot
wound inflicted the night before by a
young white man named Grimes, clerk
in a saloon. When it came time to close
the saloon the white man told the negro
he wished to close up and asked him to
get out. The negro was somewhat I'M
pudent about it and an alteration en-
sued. The negro made an attempt to
strike the white man, who shot in self
defense. The negro died yesterday and
the white man is said to have left.

in Manufacturing.
(By the Associated Press

New York, Oct 11.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say:
Failure of few over capitalized
Industrial corporations to pay interest
on their stock is no criterion of condi-
tions in manufacturing, although an in
fiuence of some weight in the prices of
stock.
Reports from all parts of the coyln-
try agree that there has seldom if ever
been such vigorous prosecution Of con-
structive work. Widely divergent lines
exhibit the same symptoms. Labor is
we'll employed at good wages and the
buying power of the people is more
than sufficient to meet the advance in
the cost of living of 4.6 per cent over
prices prevailing year ago.
Quiet conditions prevail in the dry
goods market, not because of light de-
mand, but through the strong views Of
sellers, which prevent export sales as
we'll as domestic business. At Fall
River the print cloth situation is most
satisfactory. standard goods for delivery
up to February are held at three cents
and the labor situation is much clearer
than it was week ago.
Slightly better prices have been es-
tablished by the leading cereals, wheat
making fair gain, while corn lost a
little of it's exceptional strength.
Failures for the week numbered 231
in the United States, against 223 last
year, and "a in Canada, against 80 last
year.

THE FIRST CARLOAD ARRIVES

Pipe for the Water Works Now on the Ground
The Extension to be completed in two
Weeks.
The FIRST carload of pipe for the water
works extension has arrived and the
other two cars are expected daily. Work
on the ditch has been begun and Mr..
Kettencach of the water company, thinks
that the work can be completed in two
weeks. The proposed extension will in
clude new main laid direct from the
reservoir to point near the Jas. f. Babb
residence, with laterals connecting with
the other lines already laid on the hill.
There will be 5000 feet of 8inch main
and 1000 feet Of four inch laterals. Direct
pressure from the reservoir will secure
for the people of the hill dirtrict a. SER
vice more nearly equal to their needs.
This system once installed many added
improvements will be made in that sec.
ton of the city.

the entire line does not exceed 26 feet to
the mile, which is too trifling to be con-
sidered. The curvature is by no means
excessive. and is so arranged that the
sharpest curves are set on a grade that
overcomes the resistance they would
otherwise offer. This is possible on
route that is descending grade; it is not
practicable to any considerable extent on
such a route as that of the Northern
Pacific, filled with high hills BY far the
greater amount of traffic moves toward
tidewater, so it has been regarded as inn
portant to build track that would favor
trains moving out rather than those mov-
ing to the interior.
Lewiston is chosen for the illustration
because it is the focal point for the bust.
ness of the Clearwater Basin. Railroad
feeders may be built up the valleys of the
Clearwater and its branches, or the river
may be relied upon to give transportation
to Lewiston, but traffic once there must
choose one Of two ways to tidewater, to
market. Kali transportlon has certain
advantages where the rivers are SO rapid
as in that country. The Northern Pacific
has rail lines to Lewiston and up the
Clearwater Valley, and by virtue of this
advantage it pulls considerable traffic
over its enormous grades and circuitous
route to Tacoma. The o. r. & N. ought
to be in the Clearwater Basin to give the
perfectly easy and natural outlet its
route affords to Portland. The cost of
transportation this way would be much
less, the time consumed would be less,
the products Of the Clearwater country
would reach better market, and Port
land commerce would be augmented by
it. The business of the Clearwater coun-
try is great and growing.

A Long Haul to Market.

e. E. Clark, of Coff, Idaho. prom-
nent stockman on the Little Salmon, is
in the city this week. He drove from
his place to Lewiston, I3o miles, to bring
his wool to market, and will take back
his supplies for the season with his
freight teams. Mr.. Clark brings to mar
ket $4,000 pounds of wool this season.
Next year he says he will have fully
twice that much. He is greatly inter
ested in the project of boat transportation
for the upper river. A boat to Pittsburg
Landing would bring supplies within IS
miles of Mr.. Clark's place. Instead Of
the long haul to market he now has. he
and his neighbofs will only-have to drive
their sheep to Snake river, shear them
there and load the wool on the boat.
Mr.. Clark has about 5000 sheep, $50
cattle and about 400 head Of horses. He
has paid in the last year an average Of
,$aSo per month for supplies ana freight.
It costs him AZ cents per pound to
freight from Lewiston. The eight six
horse teams that hauled his a4ooo pounds
Of wool to market will 60 back loaded
with supplies. The cost Of bringing the
wool down cent per pound and Of tax
ing the supplies back, cent and a
quarter. With rapidly growing trade
in the Salmon river country the stock
men are on the lookout for some relief
from the burden of transportation rates.
Salmon river will welcome an outlet by
the proposed river route.

TO NAVIGATE
THE UPPER SNAKE
A Rich Country Directly Tributary
to Lewiston will Soon be
Opened Up.

Lewiston people will take hold of the
proposition Of navigation on the upper
Snake river and will build boat to be
used in the carrying trade between this
city and Pttsburg Landing. This mat
ter was fully determined upon after
careful canvass of the situation at an
open meeting of the Commercial club
held Tuesday night.
There the facts developed that the O.
X. & N. Co. had refused to consider the
proposition made in the negotiations
opened up with them and the proposition
of local company to operate on the
river was considered and the plan Of
action made. Henley Bros. of this city,
will head the local enterprise. They
have agreed to subscribe $4,000 to the
capital stock and will lease and operate
the boat when it is completed, assuming
all responsibility for the success or failure
Of the enterprise after the boat has been
provided. Ezra Baird is to solicit local
| ly for subscriptions for stock. S. S.
Rogers will solicit in the country tribu-
tary to the enterprise, especially in
Asotin and the Grand Roude. ]. w.
Henley has already made investigations
concerning the kind of boat necessary,
and has some plans already clearly de-
fined. He will perfect these and be
ready to begin work as soon as the re-
quired capital is secured. The list is
headed with $1,000 from J. d. G. Thiessen
and $2ooo from Henley Bros
The meeting Tuesday night was enthu-
siastic. The project was fully canvassed
and there was unanimous opinion that
the work would be greatly beneficial to
Lewiston and the great country that lies
tributary to the proposed transportation
route. The distance from Lewiston to
Pittsburg Landing. by official survey, is
So miles. The country tapped is very
rich in possibilities. The river route
would handle all the supplies for the
Salmon river country and the country
lying between the Salmon and the Snake
whose trade now centers at White Bird
and whose supplies are now freighted via
Sites and Grangeville, distance oi
nearly so miles over mountain grades.
1t would handle all the business Of the
great stock country lying about Joseph
and the Grand Ronde. q country rich ia

prospect there is hardly doubt that the
project will be success and add ma
terially to the resources that are to make
Lewiston a commercial center.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
old Hats For Lamp SHADES.

Often we find that old straw hats are
subjects Of grave consideration. Many
Of thaa, we hear it said. are too gooG
to be thrown away, too fanciful to be
given to the poor and yet not quite
modish enough to tempt their owners
into trimming them up for another
season. This, then, Is the time when
1t is best to transform them into lamp
shades. Most charming as lamp shades
they become, especially for summer
houses and yerandas.
To carry out the scheme is a simple
matter. Leghorns or very large garden
hats Of rough straw are the most de-
sirable. First should the top of the
crown be cut out, when already. as can
be imagined, the hat will assume some
what the shape of lamp shade. I'm
derneath it should then be wired up
and down as well as about the top and
bottom that 1t may be held in shape
and bent gracefully. for above all else
these shades must have a free. foppy
ppearance. They do not look well IL
at all stiff. The trimming consists
mostly of artificial flowers and grasses,
which many women have on hand from
hats Of preceding summers. Long. deep
green grasses are usually hung about
the lower edge as fringe. IT, how
eyer, the edges are not in good condi.
ton. it looks very well to put about
them ruff Of pinked out taffeta rib
bon either to match or contrast with
the color of the straw.
