The democratic state eonventinn met
at Weiser Monday and elected dele
gates to the national convention at st. /
Louis. The delegates in attendance /
from Canyon county were 6. Dempscy, /
Swain Beatty, J. J. Walling, \. NJ. De
France, c. p. Bilderback, J. VI 3own.n,
]. Cave, j. Smith and NJ. A. Bates.
The convention was organized by select
ing John b. Goode, OF Kootenai county
temporary chairman, and Karl Paine OF
Ada county temporary secretary. The
convention was dominated entirely by
Senator Dubois, and the program a. f.
nally adopted by him was carried
through without a hitch. In order to
carry through his anti-mormon resOlu-
ton Dubois. who is a strong Parker
man, was forced to adopt resolutions in
structing for Hearst. This was the only
point lost by Dubois. The time-honor-
ed custom of selecting delegates by ju-
dicial districts was overturned by him,
and all delegates selected at large, for
the reason that his own district was
. against him for delegate. The oppo-
sition to Dubois confined their efforts to
fighting the manner of selecting dele
4 rates and the anti-mormon resolution.
The fight at times was very bitter, and
4 seldom has convention hall in Idaho
! rung with more impassioned eloquence
{ than came from the speakers on boil
sides of the question. The Dubois side
/ was championed by Senator Dubois
/ Lafe Pence, A. A. Fraser, Karl Pain'
I and Swain Beatty; while the opposition
( was led by c. o. Broxon, w. A. Holz
heimer, Thomas Bassett, D. L. Evan
( and C. W. Pool. The committee o
+ permanent organization recommends
Il J.. H. Hawley of Ada county for erms
4 nent chairman, John ST. Clair Of Owyhe
4 for secretary, and these constituted tn
Il officers of the permanent organization.

MADE MANIAC BY
PERIL OF DEATH
Wedged Where Tide Crept Upon
Him, Prisoner Expires
When Released.

New York, Dec 5.-Pinned between
two spiles of pier at the foot Of West
Twenty-third street, so tightly that the
combined efforts of a score Of firemen
and policemen only released him after
long and frantic efforts, and with the
rising tide threatening death by drown
ing, a man supposed to be George Fahey
became raving maniac and died to-
day after having been removed from
his perilous position,
A policeman heard cries from under
the pier today, and Fahey was found
wedged between two spiles whose tops
were close together. Ropes were passed
under the man IS arms and five men at
tempted to pull Fahey out of his plight,
but only wedged his body more tightly
in it's perilous position.
The rising tide was at the level OF
the frightened mans chest and his
screams urged the rescuers to greater
haste. Four more policemen were sum-
moned, but the man, could not be re-
leased. An urgent call for more help
brought fireboat and three members
of nearby hook and ladder company,
with axes and hooks. Ferry hands and
passengers joined the rescuers.
The water had risen to Fahey's chin.

TO SEND EXPORTS
THRU GAL WESTON
HILL CONSIDERING A NEW ROUTE
TO THE SEA.
He Secured the Burlington In Order to
Use st. Louis as Seaport, but Is
Now Figuring on Galveston Line in
Order to Make New Route an Earlier
Reality. 49,

A new route for export trade from
the northwest is one of the plans under
consideration by James j. Hill. The
first Indication that the transportation
magnate was seeking some route which
would carry his traffic around the con
gestion at Chicago was his purchase of
the Burlington IN order to gain access
of transshipment to sea going vessels at
that point was a strong factor in Sc
curing terminal facilities in the Mis-
souri, metropolis.
Deep-water transportation to St.
Louis, however, is still in the class of
glittering possibilities, and it is be-.
lieved that Mr.. Hill, has grown i'm
patient. : ~
He is now figuring on a route from the
northwest, with its seaport terminal at
Galveston. At Galveston he finds all
the facilities for sending out export
shipments from port which is open all
the year. He also finds a community
which is ready to make any concessions
for the purpose Of Increasing its i'm
Portance, and the port is so situated
that the roads delivering shipments get
It is well known that Mr.. Hill has
reached a stage Of development where
it is possible for him to operate with
systems already built. The Galveston
plan would not necessarily call for new
construction, as it would be possible
to couple up some of the lines already
existing and include them in the Hill
group. The experience of the Burling-
ton as the little sister in such com
bination has been such that some line
thru Texas might be favorably disposed
toward new alliance. This would call
for a new combination with the bic
interests back. of southwestern roads
but the fact that Hill wants to get into
Galveston is enough assurance that, the
arrangement will be made if he thinks
it worth while. y 49, -
