dated rubber rings around their necks.
FROM the start Glover took the lead
lie entered the rapids about a minute
ahead of Graham. Until the Devils
Hole was reached the swift and roar

grasp. At that point a swlr4ing eddy
caught Glover and he was down nearly

the END OF the rapids, just above the
suspension bridge at Lewiston, there
was but little difference between them

was hard for Graham, but evidently
easy for Glover. At 4:2S o'clock Glover

hundred yards from the capitol. The
railroad company originally demanded the
privilege Of building it's tunnel suuarely
under the capitol, and it was only by the
hardest work that opponents of this plan
were able to defeat it. The plan of put
ting the tunnel under the grounds. half
way between library and capitol, was
substituted.

carry out these plans is in progress, and
