& Occur d'Alene electric railway has
inspired the thought of extending the
road through to Wallace, Capitalists
from the east and Spokane have been
looking over the route and early con-
struction is contemplated.
The proposed route runs from
Occur d'Alene through Fourth of July
canyon and by the old mission to
Wallace. This is the route selected
by the Northern Pacific railway in
1887. Most of the land along the
route is owned by the government
and the Northern Pacific Railway
company has long since lost its right
of way.
The electric road is to be built
closer TO the old Mullan road, mill
tary road between Fort Benton,
Mont, and Walla Walla, than the sur
vey of the Northern Pacific Railway
company.

John Brill, who was at one time
stenographer for the law firm of
Barnes & Latimer, has been instru-
mental in getting a bin before the
legislature providing for the appoint
ment of court stenographers. The bill
calls for a stenographer in each court
at salary of $3.50 month, which is
equivalent to $3.50 additional expense
for the county Of Spokane.
petition is being circulated in the
city against the passage of such a
bin and is being signed by a large
number of representative taxpayers,
who argue that expenses are already
as high as they ought TO be.
The bill also calls for the appoint
ment of electors to the position,
thereby barring women stenog-
raphers.

three big apartment houses, paying
for them $4,150,000. There came
another surprise when it became

one of the wealthiest clergymen in
the United States. He inherited
a fortune from his father, married
a rich woman, and inherited her
fortune upon her death, two years
