STRUCK DEAD BY LIGHTNING
gDdy Of Mrs. Brown, wife of Rancher
Badly Burned.

RED LODGE, Mont, Aug. 18.-Mrs.
George Brown, wife Of George Brown,
well known rancher of southern
Montana and northern Wyoming was
instantly killed by a bolt of lightning
today, while watching her husband
and employees care for their hay be-
fore the storm.
There was a binding flash, which
seemed to envelop the woman and
stunned the hired man nearby. The
bolt apparently struck Mrs. Brown
on the neck and her clothing was
abl4Ze in a moment.
The frantic husband made a heroic
effort to eXtinguish the fire, badly
burning his hands through a pair of
heavy gloves, but famed by the wind,
the flames enveloped the woman's
body and burned everything off ex-
cept her shoes and stockings. The
flesh was almost cooked in several
places. Two black spots on the neck
showed where the deadly bolt had
struck

Witte's voice broke as he pointed
out how it would require years for
Russia to build her navy to a posi-
ton anywhere near the position it
occupied before the war. He acknow-

naval power at the present time and
declared that her construction of war
ships for use in the Pacific could
scarcely in a generation prove a men,

but not vanquished; she is bowed low
down, but she can continue military
operations for years if necessary. She
is not suing for peace, and if peace is

AFFECTED BY BOYCOTT.
The DaIles Company Has to Cancel
Chinese Flour Shipments.

THE DALLES, Ore, Aug. 1S.-One
firm in this city is beginning to feel
the effect of the Chinese boycott
against American products. 1t is the
Wasco Warehouse Milling company,
shipments of flour to HOngkong and
other Chinese ports. In the past this
firm has had a large trade in the
Orient, China consuming a consider
able portion of it's output. The ca
pacity of the company's mills is 1400
barrels day, but the refusal of the
Chinese to take it's flour will not seri-
ously affect it's business, as it is now
developing new markets.

THOUGHT THAT NEW PROPOSED
LINE DOWN THE COLUMBIA
is BACKED By HIM.
Said to be Plan to Shut Out Northern
Pacific From Getting Right.
ofWay.

With the incorporation of the
Wallula Pacific Railway company at
Vancouver. Wash, another step in the
much talked-of railroad war is sup
posed to have been taken in spite of
the fact that everything is calm and
serene along the Columbia river.
The new company is supposed to have
been formed at the instance Of Har-
riman officials for the express purpose
of securing a right-of-way down the
north bank of the Columbia river,
thus shutting out the Northern Pa
cific from coming down the north bank,
or else depriving it of the most feasi-
BILE route, is the story that comes from
Portland. This step is thought to be
the result of the formation of the Col
umbia River Railroad & Navigation
company. which was organized osten-
sibly to build railroad down the nortn
bank. This company, it is said is
Northern Pacific creation.
From The Dalles two parties of en-
gineers employed by the Wallula-Pa-
cific company are working both ways
surveying and securing rignt-of-Way.
The Columbia River Railroad & Navi-
cation company has secured rlghts-o1-
way along the bank of the river IN
Clark county, Wash, and is supposed
to have secured rights-of-w at other
noints between Wallula or Pasco,
Wash. and Vancouver, Wash.
The Wallula Pacific company
completed organization yesterday at
Vancouver by electing l.. Gerllnger
of Portland, president; James F. Sta
pleton of Vancouver, vice-presldent'
T M. Rands of Vancouver, secretary;
T II. Holman of Portland, chief eng1-
nee. and Gerlinger, Stapleton and
Rands, trustees.
It was announced at Vancouver tnat
this company would secure rights-o1-
wav Immediately from Wallula 10
Vancouver. Men VINO claim to know
something of the situation are firm
in their belief that struggle pe-
tween Hartman and the Northern
Pacific is again imminent and that
both sides are cloaking their move
ments by the formations OF smaii
companies to "act independent OF the
larger companies"
In the event that actual construction
does take place, it is expected the
Northern Pacific company Will leao
the work, as it is not thought proba-
ble the Hartman lines will go as far
as to build another line down the
Columbia river when the present
route suffices for all their needs. Ii
the work of the Columbia river COM
panv is ever finished the Northern Pa
cific will probably absorb it at some
time and the old dream OF
a water grade line from Spokane ana
the Inland Empire to tidewater Will
be realized and the long, costly, naui
over the Cascade mountains to Puget
Sound be done away with.
