People along the street thought. yes
terday morning, that bank robbery
must be in progress right in broad day
light for the alarm of the vault in the
Peoples National Bank broke loose and
banged away until exhausted. The big
gong could be heard for long distance
and the majority thought that perhaps
something was wrong. But the trouble
was caused by setting the mechanism
for longer time than usual. When the
bank was opened for business and the
vault opened the alarm got in its work.
There is no way of stopping it after
it once gets into action SO it had to
run the limit.

BRIDGE ACROSS THE kENNEeEc.
The Only Improvement That the
Maine Central Contemplates.
Boston Transcript.l


Rumors have reached Boston of impor-
tant railroad and steamboat enterprises
soon to be undertaken In Maine and II
will be a busy year in that State, and
the currents of commerce land pleasure
travel will undergo decided changes. In
connection with the report that the
Maine Central is to extend its line from
Rocklano up the west shore OF Penobscot
bay to Rockport, Camden and Belfast,
II is said that the company intends to
bridge the Kennebec river above Bath,
at an expense of 81 100000, in order that
heavy through trains may be run from
Boston to ROckland and along Penobscot
bay, which cannot well be done at pres
ent owing to the limited capacity of the
the consequent delay in crossing the
Kenneeec.
1t is thought by some that the Maine
Central will eventually push on up the
Penobscot at Bucksport. the terminus OF
it's branch from Bangor, thence east
ward to connection with its line from
Bangor to Mt. Desert. The principal OBJ
stacle to this would be the bridging OF
the PenObscOt, as. on account OF the
largs amount of shiwwing passing to and
from Bangor, the bridge would OF nqces..
sity be lofty suspension structure, and
immensely expensive.
interviewed regarding these rumored ex-
tensions say that they know nothing OF
such projects, but the fact that an at
torney has been engaged for some weeks
lately securing rights Of way between
Rockland and Belfast indicates that some
movement is contemplated in the direc-
ton indicated.
There are indica atoms of sharp compe-
tition between the Maine Central and the
recently incorporated Eastern Steamship
Company for the control of the Penob-
scot bay and Bar Harbor traffic. The
Eastern Company IL having new steel
steamer of great speed built for service
between Bangor and Rockland. and It Is
now reported that the company viii put
on direct steamer of large size between
Boston and Bar HarbOr in 1903. calling
at Penobscot bay and eastern coast re-
sorts. This service would obviate the ne
cessity of an early morning transfer Of
and freight at Rockland,
which has been q decided drawback TO
the Eastern's Mount Desert business.
When asked concerning the truth OF
the rumors Pres. Lucius futile Of the
Boston & Maine Railroad. said that the
only foundation for the report is the tact
that q preliminary survey is being mace
to ascertain the cost and feasibility OF
abolishing the ferry across the KenneDec
river at Bath. Beyond this the company
has no plans that 1t Is ready to make
public and Pres. futile denied that the

PROPERTY RIGHTS.

An effort is being made by I'M
scrupulous republican partisans
to make it appear that Governor
Hunt is opposed to a measure
which would give to married
women the management, control
and power of disposition of their
separate property.
This is not the truth
1t is a statement utterly and
absolutely false and which a
large majority of those putting
it forth know to be false. 9th
ers may be misinformed, and for
their benefit and for the benefit
OF all voters, the democracy APP
peals to the record.
A Bill, faulty drawn, seeking
the object stated, was passed by
the last legislature and strictly
upon account of it's faultiness
was vetoed by Governor Hunt.
The Governor in his veto mes
sage, took occasion to commend
the object of the bill. That there
may be no mistake in the matter,
the veto message is given in full:
Boise, March %, 1901.
Hon. @. j. Bassett, Secretary of
State:
Dear Sir: I herewith transmit
for file in your office, House Bill
No. "a, entitled IAN Act Civ
ing to married women the mana
cement, control and power of
disposition of their separate
property, amending Section 2495
of the Revised Statutes of Idaho
and repeating Section 2498 and
2499 thereof, and all other acts
III COnHlct herewith.
The intention of this bill is
evidently to place the wife on an
equality with the husband in the
management and control of their
separate property, and is mer-
itorious measure if the provis-
ions of the bill had carried that
idea into effect.
This bill amends Section 2475

Nothing could be more evident
of the absolutely dishonorable
campaign being waged by the
Republicans than the fact that
the heavenly twins" Morrison
and Mcconnell, in campaigning
in northern Idaho had absolutely
nothing to say on the timber
land question, but in southeast
ern Idaho the charge is made
that the present administration
is sacrificing the property of the
people in the sale of these lands.
The whole truth is that the limb
era total of 10000 acres-has
been sold after go days. advertis-
ing to the highest bidder. The
land itself is not sold-only the
timber which must be removed
within 90 years. This means the
establishment of great lumber
industries in northern Idaho,
hence the people of that section
endorse the administration for
making the sales. That is the
reason why Morrison and Nc
Connell do not pirate on the sub
ject in the northern section of
the state.
Considering all the facts and
that the money goes into an ir-
reducible school fund-the inter
est of which relieves the people
of taxation, it was the best pos
sible business investment for the
people of Idaho.
