THE BROAD WHITE ROAD.

THE BROAD WHITE ROAD.
Copper Creek had begun as halfway
house, and had ended as a camp. Thus
the hotel was its oldest structure.
Situated about half way between
Rockerville and Custer, on the old
Spring Creek trail, it often happened
that the stage running from Rapid to
the last-named town would stop for
the evening meal, or even for the night.
at the little log structure which Bill
Martin had been sagacious enough to
erect there. The soil was good for no.
tatoes, which was lucky, for Bill Mar
tin could never have prospered as a
hotel keeper pure and simple; because
purity, simplicity, and temperance
principles have nothing to do with a.
western inn. Bill cooked, made beds
and raised potatoes. Then a fortuitous
grab stalker" discovered the Great
Snake lode. A town sprang up in the
night, so Bill Martin hired Black Jack
and built additions. And finally. since

Agree to Have Decision Made in
Caucus.

Olympia, Jan. 26.-A most import
ant move toward bringing the present
senatorial contest to a close this week
was taken to-half of the King county
delegation, headed nv the seven Repub-
lican senators, signed written notice
to Mr. Preston that they would furnish
the necessary number of votes to bring
about caucus not later than Saturday
night, and earlier if he would release

GUILTY OF TREASON.
Col. Arthur Lynch Convicted AT.
ter a Brief Trial and Sen.
fenced to Death.

London, Jan. 26.-Colonel Arthur
Lynch has been found guilty of treason
and has been sentenced to death. The
defense closed it's case after producing
only four witnesses, resting solely upon
the fact that Lynch took the oath of al
legiance to the Boer cause. The court
room was crowded, but there was no
demonstration. Lynch preserved per.
feet calmness.
Col. Lynch took the verdict and sen.
tence calmly. When asked if he had
anything to say, he replied: "Ti.ank
you, nothing" He then bowed po-
iltely to the court. The lord chief JUS
tice granted Mrs. Lynch permission to
see her husband in prison. 1t is al
most cretain that the death sentence
will he committed to ten years impris-
onment by the king, as the execution
of Lynch would throw Ireland into a
ferment.

MELTING SNOW AND RAIN
Willamette and Other Streams of
Oregon Are High.

Oregon Are High.
Portland, Jan. 26.-The heavy rains
of the past fortyelght hours have caus-
I'd the snow in the Cascade and Coast
range mountains to melt rapidly, and
all streams flowing into the Willamette
river have become mountain torrents.
Advices from the upper river show that
the Willamette is higher than ever be-
fore recorded, and much damage has
been done to farms along the river bot
toms. Many booms of logs have broken
away, and several million feet of saw
logs set adrift. On account of high
water it became necessary to close the
locks at Oregon City to navigation.
The river at this city rose three feet
during the night, and stands fifteen feet
above low water. The weather bureau
predicts further rise here on account
of the large volume of water in the up
per river, though no serious damage
has resulted along the water front.
No through trains arrived over the
Southern Pacific on account of wash
outs between Harrisburg and Junction
City. The road is reported clear south
of Eugene, and through trains from
California are expected to arrive here
about noon.

PLOT TO RAID BANKS
Said to Have Been Fooled by Cap.

Said to Have Been FOiled by Cap.
ture of Robbers.
Salt Lake, Utah, Jan. ga special
to the Tribune from Red Lodge, Mon.
says that officers OF Carbon county have
evidence in their possession showing
that the famous Bridger bank robbery
last October was only intended as the
first step in one of the biggest plots in
the criminal history of Montana.
The statement is made by county
official that when the cases Of the Bird.
ger bank robbers come bef're the dis
trict court the prosecution will prove
that it was intended by the gang, after
the successful robbery of the Bridger
bank to assemble twenty men in west
ern Carbon county and make a raid on
Red Lodge and loot the three banks in
that city. The plan was frustrated by
the capture of the men who are said to
have robbed the Bridger bank.
This is the second time plot has
been formed to raid Red Lodge Last
summer officers received word that the
Hole-in-the- Wall crowd were on their
way to hold up the town. The despera-
does learned, however, that the officers
were prepared 10 receive them and
abandoned the expedition.

THE ALASKA LINEI
TREATY BETWEEN GREAT BRIT
AIN AND u. s.
1t Provides for Il Mixed Tribunal OF
Jurists, Three on Each Side, to
Determine the BOundary-.lfTh
DO Not Agree the Modus vi
venda Still Prevails.

Washington, Jan. 26 Secretary
HAY and Sir Micheal Herbert. the Brit
ish ambassador, Saturday signed a
treaty providing for the settlement nt
the Alaska boundary question. Efforts
in this direction have been put forth
for long time, the pressure com 'ng
from both sides, the Canadian miners
being anxious to get through the Klon-
dixie to the sea without passing through
American territory and the Americans
insisting OH their right to the coast
line and the control of the ports.
The treaty just signed provides for
the reference of all the boundary ques-
tions to mixed tribunal of jurists,
three on each side, to determine the in
depreciation to be placed on the treaty
of 1925 between Hreat britain and Rus
sia, which defines the boundary be
tween British America and Alaska.
The proposition is virtually the same
as that brought forward by the Ameri
can members of the high Joint commits
sion, which met in Washington three
years ago, but which then was rejected
by the British and Canadian represent
tatives. 1t haataken three years to OBJ
tain the consent of the British and Ca
madam governments to adjust the boun-
Diary dispute on this basis.
1t is understood that the treaty has
been drawn up after thorough consulta-
ton with the leading members of the
senate of both parties, the administra-
ton desiring to do everything possible
in advance to secure its ratification.
The commission proposed is curious
in composition, consisting OF an equal
number of members on each side, with
out an umpire or odd man to cast the
deciding vote. No other terms of arbi-
tration would have been acceptable to
the people of the Northwest, who see in
this arrangement a practicable extinc.
ton of any chance of decison hostile
to their plans.
On the other hand, to get verdict
favorable to the American claim our
case must be so strongly presented as to
win the support of at least one of the
Canadian contingent.
The treaty will be submitted to the
United States senate very soon and an
effort will be made to ratify it before
the expiration OF the present session.

Ter to succeed himself as United States
senator, and he was declared elected by
the pres ident Of the senate, W. II. Adj

reached after a week of untiring effort
on the part of the Democratic leaders,
during which many rumors of treachery
had been circulated, and. many delays
had occurred by reason of the absence
from roll call of different members OF
the assembly. For week the Demo.
cratic branch of the senate has been in
practically continuous session, and since
Wednesday at noon the joint session OF
the Democratic members OF both houses
has been continuous.
Denver, Jan. 26.-The climax in the
senatorial fight in Colorado came last
night when ex-senator f. o. Wolcott,
the candidate of the so-called "stal.
wart" wing of the Republican party,
announced his practical withdrawal
from any further contest and urged
the people of Colorado to accept the
situation as it stands by the election
Saturday of Senator Henry M. Teller
to succeed himself, by the joint session
of the Democratic senators and repre-.
senta tives. The announcement was
made in signed statement, in which
Mr.. Wolcott charges certain Republi-
can leaders associated with the anti
Wolcott forces in the Republican ranks,
with treachery, deliberate and contin-
nous, although he disposes of others
of the anti-Wolcot crowd by character
izing them as "dupes" OF the main con-,

Professor Claims Improvement on

MarcOni's System.
Berlin, Jan. 26-Professor Ferdinand
Braun of Strausburg university. whose
application of Leyden jars in propagst-
ing electric waves is said to have ena-
bled Marconi to telegraph without
wires across the Atlantic, announced
yesterday that he had discovered a
method of producing electrical energy
of unlimited volume and projecting it
into space in the form of electric waves,
to any desired distance.
The new method secures greater accu-
racy of Transmission, through more
perfect attunemept of the transmitting
and receiving instruments. He thinks
he has reached method of transmit

compass, thus avoiding interference by
other waves.

the bombardment OF Fort San Carlos,
from Maracaibo, under date Of January

con the 18th inst while the Pan
ther was passing the Maracaibo bar,
she was unexpectedly attacked by Fort
San Carlos, which opened a heavy fire
on her. To this the Panther replied,
and cannonade was exchanged for
half an hour. Owing to the difficulty
of navigation the Panther then de.
sisted.
Sin order to exact an immediate pun
ishment for this attack, the more so as
the Venezuelan government had pro-
claimed it victory, bombarded the
fort with the Vineta on the 2lst inst,
and destroyed it,"

White Volcanic Matter Falls in the
Streets of San Francisco.
Chicago, Jan. 26.-Small patches of
an extremely fine white sand or dust
were seen on many of the asphalt paved
streets today when the rain of last night
had dried, says a dispatch to the Tri-
bune from San Francisco.
Scientists say this dust must have
fallen with the rain, as anything like
it was never seen here before.
1t is believed to have come from the
volcano of Santa Maria in Guatemala
which broke out in violent eruption on
Octoberl 4, and caused the ruin of a
great area of cultivated country.
The theory is that the dust, being
lighter than air. was carried two thou
sand miles from the point OF its ascen-
sion.
