RAILROAD WAR
THREATENED

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. ia rail-
road war for Nebraska and the mid
die west is in sight for next summer
should the Great Northern railroad
carry out its announced plan to build
two connections with the Burling-
ton in Nebraska this spring. The
first of the projected lines is to run
from Sioux City to Omaha and the
second extension from O'Neill to
Thedford, Neb., giving the Burling-
ton-Great Northern combination the
short line between Denver and Min
neapolis and Duluth, that being an
invasion of Northwestern territory.
Well informed railroad men are of
the opinion that this will cause the
Northwestern to extend the Hast
| ings line to Denver to retaliate
| a gainst the Burlington, and the Union
Pacific will be drawn into the fight.

RICH PAL0USE LAND IS
WITHDRAWN FROM ENTRY

roads, are in the possession of Indians
with such euphonious names as Old
Bones, William, Touch-e-tah-it,
Poli-i-cotts, etc The single home
stead entry which has not been cam
celled is that of Harry e. Wheeler,
made in 1903. Section 10, township
u, range 81, is held by the state as
an indemnity school selection, but on
account of the isolated position of
this land it is thought possible that
the number is in error for section IS.
Taken along with the land with
held from entry some time ago, no
entries can now be made on the
banks of the Palouse river from the
junction of Cow creek with the
larger stream, down to the Snake
river opposite Perry station In Walla
Walla county.
Just what the aim of the govern
ment Is in this connection has not
been disclosed. but it Is supposed to
be connected with the alteration in
the flow of the river which would
result from turning it's waters to-
ward the formation of an immense
artificial lake in the Washtucna
coulee, west of that city.

Last year go tons Of freight, ra-
tons, forage, dog food and material
were taken by sled into the roadless
interior. Much Of the work is done
with the temperature at so degrees
below zero, and near the coast the
snowfall sometimes is more than so
feet annually. To maintain an over
head telegraph line in a country like
Alaska, therefore, calls for skill, de
votion and fortitude in unusual meas
ure in the men who do the work.
The operators must be expert
woodsmen, boatmen, hunters, pole
climbers, housekeepers, cooks, laun-
drymen,' and they must be able to
harness, care for and drive dog teams.
They are alone in the wilderness for
many months of the year, but they
are not cut off from civilization, for
their instruments keep them in COM
munication with the outer world.
The lines accept commercial bust
ness, and this is increasing in vol
ume steadily. 1t is estimated that
the receipts from government
business in the next year will be
100000.

DANGEROUS JOB
FOR OPERATORS

The story Of the Alaskan cable
system, which was built by the war
department and operated by the sig
nal corps, is interesting.
Forty years ago it was proposed
that Russia and America should be
linked by a telegraph line from Van
couver to the northwestern tip of
the continent, thence across Boring
strait, through Siberia, to Moscow.
Surveying parties selected routes and
construction was about to begin when
the successful laying of the Atlantic
cable made the plan impracticable as
a business proposition, and the under
taking was abandoned.
Now the United States government
has completed part of this work
which presented unusual difficulties
because of adverse climatic and geo.
graphical conditions. The system in
cludes 2127 miles Of cables, 1904
miles of land lines and a wireless
system covering 107 miles. The cables
would reach from Newfoundland to
Ireland, the land lines from WASH
ington to Texas. The system connects
with the Western Union and Postal
lines at Seattle, with the Dominion
government lines at Fort Egbert, with
the White Pass and Yukon lines at
Skagway, and with the long distance
telephone at Nome.
Some of the signal corps operators
at the Alaskan stations receive pro-
visions for a year when they are out
fitted. To each station three men
are assigned, one fro mthe signal
corps and two from the line of the
army. Repair gangs are stationed at
log cabins about 40 miles apart.
Even in good weather their lives
are hard and filled with danger. The
lines are liable to interruption from
causes not common in thickly settled
communities. Moose become en-
tangled in the insulated wire. and in
extricating themselves break it.
No matter when the break comes,
if travel is possible, out go the re-
pair gangs-a signal corps repair
man and two enlisted men of the
army. They travel by dog team.

CHARITY BALL

The seventh annual charity ball
was attended by between 600 and 700
people representing the cream of Spo-
kane society.
The crowd was so dense it was with
difficulty that the dancers could pro-
coed The decorations, though SIM
pie, were in good taste and the ap-
pointments were elaborate
Beautiful gowns upon beautiful
women were in abundance. The f1ut-
ter hither and thither of the many
colors of chiffon and laces made a
pretty scene. The majority of the
men wore evening dress.
The grand march was headed by
Robert Insinger and Mrs. George
Turner, followed by the reception
committee consisting Of Mayor and
Mrs. L. y. Boyd, Mr.. and Mrs. r.
Well, Mr.. and Mrs. R. Lewis Rutter,
Mr. and Mrs. B. c. Riblet, Miss Bailey
and Madame Slawson.
The Grill orchestra furnished mu-
sic for the evening. An elaborate
program was rendered in the hotel
parlors. which was even more enjoy
able than the dance. In the rooms
adjoining the ballroom dinner was
served and punch was served in va
rious places In other rooms.
The younger set was there in large
numbers and such a bevy of beauty
is rarely seen in a city the size of
Spokane IF a choice in the belle
of the evening was to have been
| taken it would have resulted in show
| ing up large number of candidates.
1t is estimated that $500 was
realized for St. Lukes hospital from
the proceeds of the ball, though no
| report has been made as yet.

ton.
A phase Of the program that is
of especial interest is that portion
which deals with technical schools.
There are now practically no techni-
cal or trade schools under the au-
thority of boards of education. For
the purpose of learning something
about the technical schools of Eu-
rope the association has invited Prof.
Blair, of London, England, to give
the desired information in the form
of an address or lecture. Professor
Blair is superintendent of the tech
nical schools of London.

COLFAX, Wash, Jan. 13.-Over
10000 acres Of land lying along the
Palouse river from the junction of
Cow creek until the Palouse empties

NOW THEY GET
NEAR THE Truth

When The Press bespoke Tor r.
A. Hutchinson and the gentlemen
assisting him the support of the
public in the fight against the ar
mory deal, it was pointed out. as
one of the chief objections, that
the people of Spokane county were
being buncoed out of $4,000 for a
building which they would not be
permitted to use.
To this the tall tower organs,
seeking to distract attention from
the plot to locate the armory
where it would benefit their owner,
gave frantic protest. Editorially
they vowed the armory would be
open to all Through picked
committee they reiterated the mis-
leading statements-even in the
famous statement" written by a
Chronicle solicitor as coming from
the armory commission. the ar
mory was declared tc be Iublic
property.
~Nbl lAluN AliilN NflN III ~ - NAAA''AN
such conditionally and those con-
nected with the armory plot knew
there was a bill ready to be placed
before the Legislature shutting out
the public forever
The Press is glad to note that
the evening edition from the tall
tower has slipped out of the brush
long enough to turn a complete
sommersault in the air, as is evil
deneed by the following editorial.
published yesterday and which is
reproduced to demonstrate the
righteousness of the fight against
the armory deal;
Spokane will not take kindly to
the idea that plain, common people
are to be entirely excluded from
the use of the new armory. After
contributing a large portion Of the
funds to be spent on the erection
Of that building, il is not to be
expected that these common peo-
pie will tamely submit to be de
prived of its use for gatherings
of a public nature. The appropri-
alton made by the county commits
sioners was with the distinct I'M
derstanding that the building
could be SO used by the citizens,
and II is a very late day to go
back on those promises.
"A proposed amendment to the
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1905-01-13

armory bin provides that the ar
mories herein provided for the ma
tional guard shall not be used for
any purpose whatever other than
the uses of the commands occupy
ing them and then goes on to
make a single exception in favor
of a memorial hall for the use OF
the Grand Army and allied soci-
cites.
Such a plan is not wise, is not
patriotic, is not honest. 1t is not
wise to bring forward a measure
which misrepresents the veterans
of the Grand Army and classes
them as beneficiaries of a dog in
the manager policy, instead of
ranking them among Washington
most progressive and public spir-
tied citizens. 1t is not patriotic
to endeavor to establish military
class as distinct from civilians, or
to favor a measure which, without
excuse, will deprive the public of
the advantages to be gained from
the use of a roomy meeting place,
and so retard the progress of Spo-
kane. 1t Is not common, decent
honesty to take the peoples money
from the county on the promise
that the hall shall be available for
important meetings and conven-
tions, and then, pocketing the
cash, repudiate the contract.
In plain English, if by any ac-
cident the proposed measure clos
ing the armory to the public
should he adopted by the legis-
lature, let the people of Spokane
list any members from this cOun-
ty who support such a dishonest
measure and see that they are
retired to private life by unani-
nous consent in 1906"
1t is against just such double
crossing dangers that Mr.. Hutch
inson and his friends and The
Press have been fighting. VIII
the chamber of commerce continue
TO support the cut and dried re-
port and obey the behests of the
tall tower owner after such an in
advertent expose of the deal by
the Chronicle?
Isn't it better and safer to stop
the deal now than to wait to de-
feat some legislator two years
hence, after the damage is done?

FOUND A VALisE.
Contents Were Wet, But Evidently
Undesturbed

From Tuesdays Daily.
John Lang yesterday afternoon found
a telescope valise on some brush at the
very brow of Agency hill, close to Main
street. He took it to the police station,
where it was opened and the contents
examined. The telescope was filled with
clothing, including a base ball suit. A
letter i'll a pocket of one of the garments
was addressed to Sigard Olson, Maple
ton, and was evidently written by his
cousin, who wrote from the state OF
Washington. The letter was dated Oct.
9TH, 1904. The police are making eff
forts to locate the owner of the valise.
The telescope had evidently been out
of doors for some time, for the cloth
ing in it was wet and mildewed. If the
valise had been there any length Of time
it is strange that no ore found it and
reported the fact to the police. 1t does
not appear that anything has been stoi
en-, and the police do not think that the
valise was ever opened by any person
since the owner strapped it, as the gar
ments were all neatly folded and packed
in
