Main Line Via Wallace.

Wallace, Idaho, Feb. 26.- Northern
Pacific men engaged in surveying site
for tunnel mile and a half in length
and the ballasting of the roadbed say
that the Occur d'Alene branch will be
used as the main line within the next
21 months With the proposed tunnel
near Wallace main curves and climbs
are avoided, and the distance between
Spokane and Missoula lessened $50
miles. That section of the Occur
d'Alenes abounding in snowslides will
be avoided by the tunnel route. Work
on the tunnel will be commenced in the
spring and pushed to rapid completion.

FULTON THE MAN.
Elected United States Senator from Ore.
gon ON Forty-Second Ballot.


Salem, Or, Feb. 21.-Charles w.
Fulton was elected United States senat,
or last night at 1912 o'clock. Victory
came after scenes of intense excitement
and amid the widest clamor from his
friends. It was on the 18th ballot of
the evening and the AID of the session.
At IL O'Clock the opposition made a
futile attempt to unite upon the name
of II. w. Scott, of Portland. Mr.. Scott
received the unanimous support of the
Multnomah delegation for two ballots.
On the third ballot, or the 18th of the
evening, when the minute hand of the
clock was pointing to within three min
utes of midnight, Mr.. Nottingham, of
Multnomah, arose as his name was
called and made the first break from
the Portland members for Mr.. Fulton.
He was followed by Mr.. Banks, and
then, after several other changes had
been made, by Representatives Fisher
and Jones. Mr.. Jones' vote, however,
was not needed-he was the 46th man.
To Senator DAILY, of Benton county, the
fortune of completing the triumph of
the candidate from Astoria fell. He
was the 45th, and it took As t. elect.
When MIR. Nottingham abandoned his
Multnomah colleagues Mr.. Fulton had
35 votes. 1t had been arranged that
the Marion delegation would vote for
Mr.. Scott on the next ballot, and if Mr..
Nottingham had seen fit to abide by the
wishes and plans OF his delegation, it
is probable that Multnomah county
would have been successful in it's effort
to elect man from Portland. With
his conversion to Mr.. Fulton, the tide
in the direction of that gentleman set
in, and to him, therefore, largely rests
the responsibility and the honor of NAM
| ing the new United States senator.

Canoeing on Charles river has lost

patch to the New York World. No
longer will the young man with the
white ducks and the canvas shoes be
permitted to hold the paddle with one
hand and the waist of his best girl

commissioners have shut down upon
the practice, and because in the quiet
shade of Il giant tree as their n
ficated slowly in the water Matthew
Petersen OF Dorchester improved the
occasion to plant a kiss upon the lips
of Miss Flora Smith of New York the
couple was arrested.
Recently the park commissioners de-
cided that ar arm around the waist of
a girl. a kiss stolen on the sly or a
parasol so held that those near by could
not see the faces of the occupants con-
stituted IN offense punishable by a fine.
To support this decision a corps Of
detectives was sent forth in canoes.

There was a long, loud cry for help

was denounced on all sides. If a man

an Address in Chicago.

Chicago, Oct. 15.-"Give to our peo-
pie something that will concentrate
their common affection and solicitious
care-and let that be their country's
good; give them a purpose that stimu-
lates them to unite in lofty endeavor-
and let that purpose be a demonstra-
ton of the efficiency and beneficence
of u popular rule" This was the
solution offered by Former President
Cleveland as a remedy for corrupt
politics. in a speech before the men,
bers of the Commercial club at their
annual banquet given at the Audi
forum hotel last night. The subject
discussed by Mr.. Cleveland was "Amer-
lean Good citizenship" and he dwelt
at length on the necessity of every
citizen doing his part to make po-
litical action what it should be. This

ment was taken at Ottawa to hear ar
gument. Judge Hodgins of Toronto,
Judge of the maritime court Of the Do
minion, was on the bench.
Mr.. German argued the case TO- the
owners. He said that the evidence
clearly established that the rets were
within American waters. MI. Ger
man showed that the evidence on the
part of the Gown was conflicting as to
the position of the Petrol when the
seizure was made. The evidence was
clear that the boat was in American
waters when the seizure was made,

Mr.. Newcombe. for the Dominion,
held that the Judge would have to be
guided by the evidence Of the officers
of the Petrol. who testified that they
were running down the lake from
Long Point to the boundary line; that
they were ION the compass

Kitty D., about two miles inside

Hamilton. Mont. Oct. 15.-Walter

Fonnie Buck, a ~six-year-old H., was
taken from the county Jail late in the
night by a mob and lynched.
Shortly before midnight seventy-fve
Rasked men, al armed with rifles and
shotguns, forced their way through

Jailer Stephens. who was able to Of
fer but slight resistance. jackson was
found cringing in the darkest portion
of his cell. He pleaded %piteously for
mercy but was rushed into the street,
where the mob had already provided
themselves with a rope. This was
quickly thrown over an. electric light
pole and the moose placed about Jack
sons neck. He was asked if he had
anything to say, but only pleaded for
mercy. The mob hen pulled him into
the air, after which they quickly dis
persed. Not a shot was fired. The
identity of the mob leaders is un-
known.
The murder of little Fonnie Buck
was a peculiarly atrocious one. When
the boys body was found it was hor-
ribly mutilated. Suspicion pointed to
Jackson and when he was arrested a
lynching was narrowly averted. His
trial quickly followed and a verdict
was returned within two hours. He
was sentenced to be hanged, but his
attorneys appealed to the supreme

HAS A "sTocklNG" ROOM.
Unique Apartment u Kansas City
Bank Provides For Women.

All banks of any size in cities have
''stock" rooms. These are of two
classes, one being where bonds and
stocks are examiped by their owners
and the other where the stock station
cry and the like are kept. But only one
bank on ear@h has Il stocking" room,
and that bank is in Kansas City, Slys
the Journal of thai city.
The stocking" room in the National
Bank of Commerce is for the exclusive
use of woL.en, of whom the bank has
1000 as customers. 1t is one of Il suit
Of four devoted to their uses, the 9th
ers being Il reception room, a writing
room and a %lavatory, the last being
sound proof, walled in white marble
and wholly a gem. But these rooms,
though fitted up in mahogany and
panels of brocaded satin, are secondary
to the stocking room, to which they
are merely adjuncts after all.
In a word. the stocking" room is the
apartment into which women go to
take the money they wish to deposit in
the bank from their stockings. Now, it

that woman carries her fortune in her
hose, but nc many of them believe that
this is trr :. Experience taught the
bank officials that it was the case, for
many and oft was the query made.
"Where can we go to take out our
money!" Hence, when the bank was
enlarged recently a room was provided
just for this purpose. 1t is extremely
private anu is equipped with chairs
and with little foot rests about the
wall at convenient height. SO that Il
woman may put her foot on a rest and
secure the funds wherewith to make
her deposit. Although not finished as
yet, the room has already proved its
right to be and is in constant use.
The bank officials do not look upon
the stocking DON as a joke by any
means, but are perfectly sincere in
opening it. They have found it to be
| a public necessity, so far as their wonl-
en- customers are concerned. But it
doubtless is the only room of the sort
in the world.

Manila, Oct. 15.-The crew of the

from Guibal for Cagayana island, at
tackled the outlaws on nearing the lat

their money and arms.
