him for the purpose. The work is not
made up of quotations from the Lewis

and pertinent extracts from Lewis and

and narrative writer's that connect The

The original manuscript journals of
Lewis and Clark were studied by the
author. Extracts and Photographic re-

devoted to the Louisiana Purchase, an
other to the preparatory measures for

There is gathered within the covers

vast amount Of history, narrative and

write from the standpoint of actual

The book should be found in every
public and private library in the land,
not only for purposes OF reference for
students, but for use Of the general
reader, who will find in reading

Court Is Useless.

Telluride, Col. May 11.--Judge The
ron Stevens has adjourned the May
term of the district court, as this coun-
ty(San Miguel) is under martial law
No action was taken on the applica-
ton to make permanent the injunction
granted by the court at Ouray restrain
ing the citizens alliance an mineown-
ers from interfering with the return of
deported miners to their homes in Tel
luride
In announcing his decision Judge
Stevens refers to the fact that when he
came into town he was forced to walk
through files of soldiers who had been
stationed at the depot with orders to
arrest deported men who, it was false
ly reported, were returning with the
judge.
1.-THE demonstration upon the arrival
of the train said Judge Stevens,
could only have been planned and ex-
ecuted for the purpose of showing the
contempt of the military and a certain
portion of this community for the civil
authority of the state and the civil
authority of this district. | had always
been led to suppose from such research
as had been able to make that IN
republic like ours the people were SUI
preme; that the people had expressed
their will in constitution which was
enacted for the government of all au-
thority in this state. That constitution
provides that the military shall always
be in strict subordination to the civil
authorities. 1t is doubtless construed
different, however, by the executive,
who has declared this county to be in
state of instruction, and has de-
clared martial law within it's limits.
| can only believe form the indications
from demonstrations that have been
made, form conditions which seem to
exist here, that the executive and the
military and portion of the people of
this county are not willing that this
court should be opened and such bust
ness be transacted as meets the APPROX
al of the people, that such orders of the
court as meet the approval of the mill
tary commander and portion of the
people of this county may be executed
but that such portion of the orders of
this court as do not meet with the APP
prevail of the military and the people
of this county may not be executed.
Under such circumstances this court
would not be in position to enforce its
lawful orders, or what it believed to
be its lawful orders. Such being the
case, it would simply be farce to at
tempt to enforce civil law in this
county,"

Mexican Won Fight.

Butte, Mont. May 12.-Aurelio Her
rera of Bakersfield, Cal, was given the
decision over Louis Long of Oakland,
Cal, after 90 rounds of the fiercest
fighting ever witnessed in this city.
Sevral times it appeared that knock
out was imminent, but each time the
Oakland lad came gamely back at the
Mexican. showing remarkable reupera-
tive powers. While Long showed the
cleverest footwork. he lacked the bat
terry ability of the Observation-Disclosures,
who bore in, particularly during the
intighting, raining blows ON Long.
The Mexican, while exercising every
caution, went after Long ceaselessly
throughout the fight, sending him to
the floor for the count of nine in the
sixth round.

HOW HARsoR WAS CLOSED.
official Report of Admiral Toga Re-
aardine Blocking of Port Arthur.

The official report O. Admiral Toga
relative to the blockiA. ~ 49, Port
Arthur harbor entrance states that hVe
of the eight stone laden vessels which
were sent in were sunk side by SIDE,
thus completely closing the channel,
except at one side, where there is
space large enough TO permit tor
pedo boat 10 slip through.
The venture was very costly to the
forlorn hope, which undertook the
task of blocking the channel. A storm
was in progress at the time and the
sea was running high. Then, to this
was added the terrific bombardment
from the land forts. which was di-
rected at the escorting fleet of tor
pedo boats. This kept the latter at
distance and they were unable to
save but few of the heroes who took
the steamers in. most of whom are
believed to have persisted.
So far as known there were 1863 men
on the blockading detachment. OF
these but SO returned in safety and
half of this number were wounded.
Fifteen are known to have been killed
and the rest are missing. 1t is be-
lieved from Russian reports that 80
may have reached shore and the rest
re undoubtedly drowned.
All of the known dead and missing
have been promoted and their families
pensioned The gross tonnage Of the
eight steamers sunk was 1913 and
their ages varied from Is to 25 years.
Three small Russian steamers have
been captured on the Yalu, but shells
damaged the boilers of two of them be-
fore they surrendered. The third is
now in the Japanese service.
