dergoing surgical treatment.

RUMORED
Increase of Ten Per Cent in Freight
Rates on All Railroads in the
Country.

Up go all freight rates on all railroads
according to reports received in the city.
Locally the greatest ignorance Of the
plan is claimed. The proposition has not
yet come out OF the hands Of the ex-
ecutive end of the railroads and the New
York bankers will have their final say
before the traffic departments are noti-
fed officially Of the 10 per cent increase
to be made.
All interested in freight transporta-
ton viii remember the increase approx
mating ten per cent on the principal
commodities which went into effect on
January 1, last, the coal increase start
ing in April. The increase this year, il
is said, will be on classified freight,
which includes practically everything ex-
eePt small number of-ehe products that
move in bulk.

The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1903-07-17
N. w, Railway News.

1t is said that the $1O,OOO,OOO cash
received by the Union Pacific from w.
A. Clark for the southern branch of the
Oregon Short Line is to be spent on
extensions, either in Washington or
Oregon, or both. This may hasten the
line, which was reported several weeks
ago, that Hartman is surveying west
ward from Spokane, perhaps connect
ing with the Bellingham Bay road.
But nothing definite has developed yet
as to Washington plans.
President Mohler Of the o. R. & N.
recommends building line east of the
Deschute river into central Oregon,
partly following the route of the Co.
lumbia Southern and continuing south
and east, meeting the main line at
Boise City. 1t would form a good al
tentative route to the coast for Union
Pacific traffic, and would open up a
territory rich in lumber and grain re-
sources. Surveyors are now in the
field on this line and northeast of
Boise towards the Butte extension.
These two plats alone would add over
600 miles to the Union Pacific, or 100
miles more than sold to Clark. They
would shorten by 200 miles the route
via the Hartman lines from Montana
to Portland and by 100 miles the dis
lance from Salt Lake to Portland.

Japs and Mexicans Fioht.

A bloody battle between $50 Japan
csc and the same number of Mexicans
ragged five days on desert between Bar
stow and Victorville, according to a
N. Y. Tribune dispatch from Los An
geles. Four are reported dead and
about so wounded and the end of the
struggle is not in sight. The combat
ants are all employed by the Santa Fe
railroad laying new rails, and the COM
pany has been forced to suspend op-
erations in that section.
The Japanese and the Mexicans had
been working peaceably side by side
for some time, but Japanese made
an insulting remark about a Mexican
and the fight began. When the two
workmen came to blows, sides were
quickly taken and lines drawn.

THE LARGE TENT BLEW OVER
CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS CON.
vENTioN WAS IN SESSION..
Eight Thousand in the Tent-No One
Was Seriously Hurt-Presence Of
Mind Of Mr.. Ramsey of Chicago In
Having Convas Held Up Averted
Suffocation-PeopIe in Panic.

Denver COL, July 15.-The big tent
Endeavor, where the Christian En-
deavor convention has been held for
the past foLr days, was blown over
at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, while
more than 5000 people were attending
the proceedings. The injured num-
bered nearly a score, but fortunately
none OF them were seriously hurt.
Mrs. Jesse M. Thornburg of Denver
was the most seriously injured, her
nose being badly gashed and her scalp
su1ering several wounds.
The presence of A. M, Ramsey Of
chicago, who sprang to a chair and
called to the people to hold UP the
canvas and poles, undoubtedly pre-
vented danger of suffocation, but as
1t was, many women tainted, and were
extricated from the folds of the can
vas with difficulty.
Mrs. Winifred Sleep of Denver. who
was in charge of st. Marks hospital
tent seeing the catastrophe at the big
tent, telephoned the electric company
to shut off the current. This pre-
vented any damage being done by live
wires for, of course, they fell with
the poles.
A feature which showed the religious
spirit of the participants was seen
when the majority were extricated
from the canvas folds. Lead by an
eastern delegate, all gathered around
In the open air and an impromptu
praise service was held in the open
air.
Inc convention was in full progress
at o'clock, and, although there were
signs of rain and some wind was blow
ing, no trouble was anticipated by
the management.
The sides Of the tent were I'D to ad-
NIT air, and this enabled the suuall
to lift up the big canvas as if it were
a balloon. The gust of wind which
carried over the tent came SO sud-
denly that no preparation could be
made to forestall the consequences.
The wind swept under the tent, the
roof of which Immediately bellied out
like an immense sail, and it was seen
that the poles were being drawn from
the ground. The smaller guy poles
gave the first intimation of danger to
the throng, being pulled from the
ground.
Immediately the 5000 people were
in a panic, which the screaming of
the women accentuated. 1t was then
that Mr.. Ramsey sprang to a chair
and loudly called on the men to hold
up the canvas and catch the large SUD-
porting poles as they fell and avert
the danger. Hundreds of men sprang
to their feet and successfully carried
out the Chicago mans suggestions,
and consequently no one was injured
in this way.
AS the tent fell, nearly 1000 people
were seated near it's walls, and these
people Immediately formed themselves
into a reserve corps. The hospital
tent was speedily filled with women
who had tainted and those who were
suffering from slight injuries.

 When MT. Cleveland sent to the Fifti- eth Congress his famous tariff reform message, the revenue reformers fmmedi- ately took steps to create popular ap- proval and excite enthusiasm in the ranks of the party. As one means of reaching the leaders of the party and attracting the attention of the daily press of all par ties. series of banquets was given and of these several were of more than eph- emeral importance. Our readers may re- call a really famous tarin reform dinner at Boston. at which James Russell Low ell presided and delivered an able and classic speech; and at which Senator Nor gan of Alabama, William l.. Wilson of West Virginia, President Elliott of liar yard and others spoke; and among the guests were many of the most eminent men of Massachusetts.
 The Tarim Reform League of New York gave one of the most famous of these banquets; MT. Ottendofer presided and among others MT. Henry Watterson spoke. Among the speakers at that table was Frederic R. Coudert, who has just died of heart disease in Washington City. We had never met MT. Coudert, but had been told by a colleague that he was one of the most attractive speakers in New York, and we were prepared a hear a good speech; we were surprised to hear the most attractive after-dinner speaker 1t has been our good fortune tn hear: and we have heard Robert Ingersoll, Joseph H.

Pionaerinp in Central Africa.

This is the title of a notable contribution to the literature about the dark continent. It should be particularly interesting to Ala bamians because it is written by Rev. Samuel Phillips Werner, A, B., who went from Tus- caloosa to Africa and was for six years a missionary on the Congo. Some months ago MT. Werner published in The Advertiser a series of letters relating to tho negro In this country. which attracted wide attention and which are well worthy of preservation in book form. His former experience with them in their native land gave greater opportunity to judge of their capacity and their limita- tionS than any other writer who has recently discussed the matter.
 Probably no section of our globe occupies a more prominent place in the public mind today than the great continent of Africa, and no man is better qualified than Mir. Werner to write of what he knows and has seen. His book is not wraitten in the usual style of such books, but Is at once scientific, historical, critical and religious. There is publica- tion extant which covers the ground reviewed by Mir. Werner, and the book is an original and powerful addition to the literature oil the Dark Continent. It is fully illustrated from photographs taken by the author. and embellished with maps not hitherto published. Price cloth, $2.0O net. Presbyterian Committee of Publication, Richmond, Va, Publishers.
