A Great Developer
statesman. Boise

That the Northern Pacific INTENDS to
build the line from Missoula to Lewis
ton appears to admit of no further
doubt. 1t is admitted by the compaUy's
representative in Portland that such a
line is likely to be constructed, and his
admission is regarded there as being
conclusive. 1t will be a great day fer
the Clearwater country when that road
is opened. 1t will develop a vast re-
gion and add enormously to the pros
perity Of the state. Mining, agricuI-
ture and numbering VIII be stimulated
A great section Of the state that is 50
far removed from transportation facifi-
ties that it's development has not be-
gun will be thrown open to settlement
and exploration, and the results Will
be Of statewide Importance.

Remember the Maine" was the rail-
lying cry of the Americans in the late
Spanish war and everyone easily re-
calls the treachery that destroyed the
finest ship in the American navy and
ended the lives of hundreds Of the
bravest seamen that fight beneath the
flag. If the story OF Rssseau anar-
chist and dynamiter is to be believed
the Cubans and not the Spaniards were
responsible for the blowing up of the
Maine and the work was the result of
an accident but the careful historian
will hardly credit the incarcerated
criminal and his story will be accepted
on a par with the oft repeated tale that
John Wilkes Booth is yet alive having
escaped the vengeance of the federal
authorities.

mitts and engage in the first fight he
has had since his championship colors
were lowered in the Golden Gate city.
His opponent win be 'Kid' Sullivan,

Sullfvan's reputation does not extend
far beyond the limits OF his native
heath. he has nevertheless met and
made a creditable showing against
some fighters of the first class and his
admirers count upon him to give a
good account OF himself when he faces
the redoubtable little Denverite.

AND STILL THEY COME
Managers Have Difficulty in Providing
Space for the Throne

PORTLAND. March SO.-with al
most four months remaining before
the opening of the Lewis and Clark ex-
position on June 1. the demand for
exhibit space by manufacturers and
foreign governments has been so great
that not only is every square foot Of
the original provision contracted for,
but much additional space as well.

sary to order an additional exposition

one of Napoleon's favorite articles
was to call a truce and prepare grand
coup to win the battle. Some such a
plan Is said to be in the minds of the
Russians when they claim to be ready
for peace but give orders for a heavy
armament for their new navy. But
Russia is to be headed off here also
by the Japanese who expect to insist
that the peace proviso gives pledge
rhat Russia will build no more war
ships for a term of years. Japan looks
upon this as the most effective way OF
~rurbing the desire Of Russia to create
n new navy and then resume the wal

that business in the new line is promis-

Cello Canal
Statesman, Boise.)

Idaho people are glad to learn that
Oregon is making a strenuous effort to
do its part toward getting the Cello
canal started. The national govern
ment demands a clear title to a right
Of way from the state, and the latter is
about ready to turn it over. There
have been some flaws in title, and the
government has found it necessary to
have some land not originally included,
but everything is about Strengthened
out and in a short time the right-of-
way will be handed over to the govern
ment with a title that the law officers
at Washington will approve.
The subject Is Of great interest to
this state because that canal will have
a mighty influence upon the prosperity
Of a large portion of Idaho. The pro-
ducts of the Clearwater basin can reach
tide water through the canal, and it
will thus be possible to get them to a
shipping point for the worlds markets
at minimum of expense. This ap-
plies to the wheat of the entire whett
belt of northern Idaho. to the lumber
that is to be produced from the states
timber lands, and to the heavy min
erals.
Wheat can be sent on boats from
Lewiston to Portland at rates far be-
low those charged by the railways;
lumber can be sent down the river for
a mere fraction of the cost Of shipping
by rail, and lead and other metals to-
gether with ores. can thus be landed
at the docks of the Oregon metropolis
at rates that will make it possible to
ship large amount OF mine products
that cannot now be marketed. While
all those products may not go by
water, it will be because the influence
of the water route will bring down the
rail rates.
The importance of getting the pro-
ject started lies in the fact that be-
ginning of operations will definitely
commit the government to the project.
Congress has done it's part. and, if the
work be started, sufficient appropria-
tions can be secured in the near future
to complete the canal and thus open
the gates for the traffic of the Inland
Empire to float to the sea.

kOUTENAi COUNTY REHAelLI.

sKootenai county Phoenix like rises
from her own ashes. She was down
but the supreme court refused to count
her out Idahos legislature may create
new counties, but has not the power to
,7bo1ish old counties, is the substance
81 the decision Of the supreme court
which last week declared that the &C
ton Of the last legislature in creating
the new counties Of Lewis and Clark
was unconstitutional and void.
The court holds that although the
legislature may create new counties
from parts of old ones, it can not abol-
fsh the old county nor deprive any
place of the county seat. In the state
of Idaho the county seat may be re-
moved only by a vote of the people,
and the court declares that the legisla-
ture can not do indirectly what it has
not the power to do directly.
On its face this decision is a COM
plete reversal OF the decision In the
case from Alturas county that came
before the court ten years ago. The
legislature of 1s94-95 abolished the
counties Of Alturas and Logan and out
of the territory created the present
counties of Blaine and Lincoln and the
matter was taken before the supreme
court to test the constitutionality of
the act where 1t was upheld and the
dissenting opinion of Justice Stock
slayer is practically in the line Of the
~sld decision OF the court but the ma
Jerity now holds that no county can be
abolished by ain act of the legislature.

If the accident proves fatal, to his
family. The only exception to this
rule Is when it can be established to
the satisfaction of the court of arbi-
tration, which adjudicates these cases,
that the employe was injured willfully.
BY the act there is a maximum Of ST.

pensation is usually that of half pay
for a definite time and the payment Of
d lump sum If the injury is permanent.
OF course a corresponding effort had
to be made to minimize the loss to the
employer. TO meet the necessity the
government life insurance department
was empowered to include accident in
surance, thus compelling any conbina-
ton of existing insurance companies
of a similar kind to keep the tariffs
down TO reasonable premium value.
The advantage TO artisans and labOrers
from a governmental benefit OF this
nature can hardly be computed. 1t
