Nature Furnishes the Key.

Electricity is the coming motive
power and the trolly line is coming
to be the active competitor of the
railroad in the ,portation prob
lens of the age. In the east the
rapid growth of inter-urban lines
shows that the age of electricity is
fast gaining on the age of steam,
and in the west the idea is fast
coming into vogue. In the
mountainous regions of the west,
where electric power is developed
cheaply, the trolly line is certain
to come as a matter of economic
cheapness. Idaho is pre- eminently
a region where electricity will be
utilized as motive power. The
energy of our mountain streams
can be easily and cheaply con
verified into electrical force and
transmitted anywhere to do the
work Of manufacturing or to carry
the burdens of transportation, The
talk of electric lines in Idaho is
no idle dream. In usi electric
to solve her problems of transpor.
tation, Idaho is merely using her
natural advantages and turning to
good account the energy of her
mountain streams. Nature has
piled up the mountains in rugged |
grandeur in Idaho making the
question of highways and trans.
porlaiion dithcult but in the very |
piling up of the mountains she has
furnished the motive power nec-
ssary to make inc solution natural
and easy.

Bright Future for ASotin.

The A>otin c INT, S ntinel h; S
issued special de crip'ive number
which contains information about
the southeastern corner of the state
that will SURPRISE those who have
never visited that section and are
unaCquainted with its growth and
possibilities. II was less than 90
years ago when ASoiin county was
set off from Garfield, and about 81
years ago when it was decided TO
build up community at the juno
ton of Asotin creek and the Snake
river. Although the town has
lacked railroad facilities and has
had to do a good deal of its bust
ness in another state, its growth
has been steady, and there is every
promise Of its becoming the sub.
stantial center of one of the best
producing and most prosperous
sections of Washington.
The town of Asotin now has
about 1000 population, and the
county about 5000. Although
somewhat off what might be called
the beaten track, this section has
been attracting settlers during the
last few years, and those who have
gone into 1t to make their homes
there have found it unusually at.
tractive both as TO climate and
resources. Nearly two-thirds of
the country's area is of tillable
character, and for wheat and fruit
it is unsurpassed. There is also a
large area suitable for stockraising,
and considerable timber and mineral
land. In fact, for country that
is imposed to be distinctively agri-
cultural, Asotin seems to have re-
sources as noiiceably diversified as
any other country in the state.
With only steamboat transporta-
tion TO afford an outlet for the pro-
duct Of Asolin county, there has
not been the rapii development
recorded in some other parts of the
state. But there has been solid
growth, and apparently rybody
is well to do. With railroad facili-
ties there can hardly fail to be
remarkable squirt in the matter of
population and internal develop
ment. The returns to the farmer
and stockmen will be larger, tim
Der will be brought ID market more
easily, and an UNEMPLOYED mineral
country will be opened that may
surprise the entire northw west. In
tact, the people of Asotin can look
forward 10 The future with as much

LAMoTHFs WOUNDS FATAL
He Was Charged With Murder at Win

A dispatch from New York yesterday
says: Joseph Ageuar Lamothe the French
Canadian who was wanted in Winchester
Mass, on suspicion of having murdered
Georgiana Guddu. died IN ST. Luke's Hos
pital this morning. Death resulted from the
revolver shot wound in the abdomen which
he received during a struggle with Detec-

hospital Saturday morning. From the time
he was shot Lamothe sank gradually, and
was unconscious until few moments be-
fore death. when he regained consciousness
and asked for priest. who was summoned
In reply to the questions of the priest as to
his relatives he turned his face away and
was silent. A few minutes thereafter he
died.
1t is alid that when the injured man was
being taken to the ward of the hospital he
murmured Il want to die"
After an examination today the coroner's
physician gave as his opinion that Lamothe
had killed himself. possibly intentionally

COURT REVOKES ORDER
DIssoLvFs TEMPORARY INJUNC-
TON AGAINST COMMISSIONERS.
Case of Wildwood Managers Before
Judge Anderson-Final Ac-
ton Delayed.

Justice Anderson. in Equity Court No.
l. this afternoon announced that he will
revoke the order signed the 18th ultimO,
temporarily restraining the Commissioners
Of the District of Columbia and the Dis
trict's electrical engineer from interfering
with certain telegraph wires leading to
Wildwood. The court took occasion to re-
mark that the compliments bill was mis-
leading. and that the temporary restrain
ing order would not have been issued II
the court had had time to read through
the bill when the application for the tenn
porary injunction was made.
Counsel for the complainant. arose to
note an appeal from the ruling of Justice
Anderson TO the Court of Appeals. The le-
gal representatives of the District Com
missioners. however, took the stand that
an appeal cannot be taken from an order
dissolving a temporary injunction.
At the request of counsel for the COM
plainant Justice Anderson will hear argu-
ments tomorrow morning on the question
of the right of appeal. and the signing of
the order dissolving the temporary injunc-
ton was postponed until that time.
The proceedings referred to were instf-
tuted by Robert S. Turner as lessee of
Wildwood and of an electric railway con-
Meeting that resort with railway run
ming to Takoma Park. The complainant,
among other things, maintained that the
poles of the railway of which he was les
see and, therefore. the District officials
We're without authority to interfere with
them.
Justice Anderson held that. under its
charter, the railway company had no
right to string telegraph wires on its poles,
and the company, possessing no such rlght'
of course could not grant the same to a
lessee. Even If the railway company pos
sessed the right to string telegraph wires,
Justice Anderson explained. the complain
ant had not In terms stated that the COM
pany had granted a similar right to him.
Having had right to string telegraph
wires the poles of the railway COM
pany, Justice Anderson added. the COM
plainants, without first having secured
permit to do. violated section >, article
IL, of the local municipal regulations by
stringing the wires. Justice Anderson fur
Their held that prima facie case had not
been made out by the bill of complaint,
and that all the equities in the bill had
been sworn away by the answer of the
District officials.
AS the formal order dissolving the tenn
porary injunction will not be signed until
tomorrow the local authorities cannot to-
daylegaliy interfere with the telegraph
wires leading to Wildwood.

that no property will be offered which has
connected with it any technical or other
error which might invalidate the sale,
Should, however, the property be sold
without such error being discovered, 1t is
certain that the purchaser would consent to
the cancella ton of the deed. otherwise
the courts could be successfully appealed to
for an order of cancellation. / also desire
to inform you that complete list of tn"
property which is subject to sale will be
shown to you by the assessor upon your APP
plication. 1t is impossible to advertise the
entire list, in view of the fact that Congress
failed TO provide an appropriation for such
a purpose. The Commissioners would be
glad to have you inspect this complete list

more exciting inducements of a military
career. He was first under fire In lsbs
when he took part in the revolution which
overthrow General Falcon. He fought
against Guzman Blanco and was sent sew
eral times to prison.
After the constituyente closed its ses-
sions Hernandez went to New York, where
he remained until 1895, studying and trav-
cling When he returned to Caracas the
conservative party appointed him leader
and made him it's candidate for the presl-
dency of the republic
General Hernandez was proclaimed the
candidate and leader of the patrio nacion-
alsts in 1897. He made an electioneering
tour through the republic, the first ever

ton the government marked the votes and

coined to the palace at Caracas by Presi-
dent Castro, and they formed compact

time. notwithstanding that the chains and
other horrors of Maracaibo prison left the
old warrior in terrible physical condition
