Married In a Lions Den,

From copy of the Philadelphia
Ledger of May IS, we notice long
account of marrige in lions den,
for which Rev. A. A. Walker, for
merly pastor of the Methodist church
in Hamilton, performed the ceremony.
The names of the parties were James
w. Dyer and Miss Marian Stillwell,
both lion-tamers for the show
company that was given the Eagles
carnival in Philadelphia. What made
the event more interesting it was nec-
cessary. after the bridal party entered
the cage, for the bride to subdue two
of the fractions lions before the cere-
mony could 20 on. Mr.. Walker has been
in Philadelphia some weeks with his
wife, who was quite ill, but who is now
recovering satisfactorily at the Metho-
dist Episcopal hospital, in that city.

Accidental Drowning.

This community was shocked Mon.
day afternoon upon hearing of the ac-
cidental drowning of Edgar Mason
Smith, the little son of Mr.. and Mrs,
Ed Smith. The little fellow, who was
about two years and six months of
age, while at play in the yard at the
family home on the Westside tumbled
into small irrigating ditch contain
ing only few inches of water and in
some manner was swept under a cul-
vert. His mother saw him fall, and,
in agonized terror, gave the alarm; but
before the planks could be torn up, the
little fellow was drowned. Every
thing possible was done to succor him,
medical aid being summoned. but the
little spirit had flown.
The funeral was held yesterday at 4
p. m. from the home, Rev. DUNCAN
preaching the service. The funeral
was one of the most largely attended
ever held in Hamilton
The bereaved parents have the
heartfelt sympathy of the entire com.
munity.

the scheme, however. Under one of
the original plans of the Northern
Pacific it was contemplated that the
line in its progress west would be car
ried on down the Columbia instead of
leaving the valley of that river to sur
mount the Cascade mountains. While
this plan was shelved it never has
been entirely abandoned and talk is
revived at intervals of the Northern
Pacific doing this very thing, though
to do it would be to parallel the o. r.
q N. from Pasco to Portland. Assum-
ing for the sake of argument that this
parallel is built after the Clearwater
cutoff is reality and the result can
be seen-an easy down.hil1 haul from
the summit of the Bitter Roots in
Montana to the sea, all on water
grades. The great drop would be ac.
complished in the narrow state of
Idaho, for the altitude of Lewiston,
Idaho, is but $40 feet. The Immense
climb of 5000 feet from the valley of
the Colum bia in Eastern Washington
to surmount the Cascades would be
1t can be taken for granted that,
Tor all this, the Northern Pacific
never would abandon it's present more
main line entirely, but there
are practical possibilities in the
scheme outlined III the foregoing and
the approaching construction of the
cutoff makes it interesting
at this time.

Bitter Root Extension.

A recent visit of Northern Pacific Of
ficials has given rise to rumors that
the management contemplates extend
ing its line to the coast through the
Bitter Root. It is certain that
the road will be shortened through
the Bitter Root. The Butte Inter
Mountain believes that the Lo Lo
cutoff has been abandoned. While
there may be nothing but conjecture
in what the Inter Mountain says it is
interesting. It follows:
One of the most important north
western railway projects now under
consi liberation is the extension OF the
Bitter Root branch of the Norther Pa
cific railway over into the Clearwater
country of Idaho. It is reported on
what appears to be good authority
that the Northern Pacific has decided
on this extension. From the same
source comes the news that all idea OF
using the Lo.Lo pass for the line has
been abandoned and that the route
will be up the Nez Perce pass, further
to the south.
This Clearwater cutoff is a plan
which has been under discussion for
many years. Its possibilities are re-
vealed by a glance at the map. BY
crossing the Bitter Roots on the Nez
Perce or Lo Lo pass and getting into
the valley of the Clearwater the
Northern Pacific has an opportunity
to shorten its main line by many scores
of miles, if it so desires, or to estab-
lish an admirable alternative line at
the very least. Already the Northern
Pacific is into the Clearwater from the
west. The Nez Perce pass line would
be built to connection with this Clear
water extension, as 1t is known, and
thus an entrance would be gained to
Lewiston, Idaho, at the junction of
the Snake and Clearwater rivers.
Build down the Snake to its junction
with the Columbia and then mile or
two further to Pasco and the Northern
Pacific would return to its main line,
having cut off an enormous sweep to
the north and saved many miles. The
only difficulty would be that the inn
portant railroad center of Spokane
would be left far to the north.
There is still greater possibilities to
