VISION OF SEA VICTORY.
Russia Believes Rojestvensky Has
Togo at Disadvantage.

st. etersburg.-Admiral Nebogat
offs junction: with Vice Admiral Ro-
jestvensky is now considered by the
admiralty as practically assured and
hope for successful issue in the
approaching struggle for mastery of
the sea is greatly encouraged. Nebo-
gatoff is regarded as the Butcher of
the situation, and, indeed, he is said
to resemble him greatly in tempera-
ment. He may lack his strategy and
finesse, but, like the Prussian, he has
bulldog courage and is born fighter
who goes straight for the enemy.
If Vice Admiral Kamimura, like
Grouchy at Waterloo, has failed to
prevent junction of the Russian
fleets, as the admiralty here believes
he has. the impression is strong that
Admiral Togo will not dare risk an
open battle with the combined fleets
of Rojestvensky and Nebogatoff and
will protect himself by torpedo at
lacks and possibly long range ac-
ton, being prepared to draw off in
the event that he is unable to make an
impression.

IDAHO NEWS,

The first bounty on cougars, under
the new law, was paid at Rathdrum
to Patrick Fox of Laclede, who
brought in a large cougar hide and
was paid SIS by warrant on the cur
rent expense fund. The animal meas
ured almost nine feet from tip to tip.
1t was accidentally caught in a bear
trap, and is the first one that Mr.. Fox
has seen in that neighborhood.
Of the several railroad projects in
the northwest, that which contem-
plates line from Palouse, in Whit
man county, toward the east and into
the timber belt of Idaho, is one of
notable Importance. According to
present plans, it is to be only As miles
long, but it will tap an unusually rich
country, and as result of its con-
structicn there will probably be man.

ment fully as important as any that is
now tributary to any piece of road of
equal length.

They Did the Canyon

On Wednesday the NEWS office was invaded by jolly crowd of four travelling men who had just returned from a visit of several days at the Canyon, seeing the points of interest there. They were Byron B. Shea, travelling freight agent for the Chicago & Alton, with headquarters at Kansas City, Mo-. George Dolan, of Rutland, Vt., a refrigerator salesman; James Me Cutcheon, a printing ink manufac- turer of Philadelphia, and Robert McCutcheon, ink salesman.
 According to the story of the men they had a great time at the Can yon, and saw all there is to see. They were members of party of thirteen who went down the trail to the river and on the return trip had some experiences they will not soon forget. It happened just above the corkscrew trail, Shea and a burro named Jimmy being the prin- cipal actors. Shea tried to handle the animal as his men handle freight, and Jimmy decided to part company with him at the precipice. Only by hard work was Shea able to fall on the uphill side and escape the fate the burro had planned for him. Jimmy won a decisive vic tory and Shea arrived at the hotel very much worn out, with his over coat and trousers showing the eff fects of the hard struggle.
 Dolan says he never liked to be a member of "13" party, anyway

That Canyon Road Scrap

A number of the leading daily papers of the southwest, and week lies, as well, during the past week have printed stories regarding a fight between laborers on the Grand Canyon road. On Tuesday one en- terprising daily wired the NEWS to verify the story. As matter of fact a fight did occur on that line between Mexicans and Japanese, but 1t was not this week nor last week. In reality it happened six weeks or two months ago. At that time the NEWS published the story and it was copied far and wide. Last week the same clipping ap- peared in the Prescott Courier, and was credited to the NEWS. From the Courier other papers took it., evidently thinking it was a new scrap. No doubt the paper from which the item was taken by the Courier had been misplaced and the Colonel happening to run against it weeks later. thinking not to look at the date, reprinted the item.

 MT. Miller now informs us that the race was not for a purse, but was simply bet of $2OO a side, and that the horse running against Sweetheart was named Skeeter, and is the property of J. Wheeler in stead of Piper.
 The lilly Sweetheart, the property of Mr. Miller. was trained by w. w. Goode, and the race mentioned above was half mile; the time was :4Sa, the lilly winning by three lengths.
