$50 CARS OF RAILS
SPOKANE INTERNATIONAL
GIVES A BIG ORDER.
Two Thousand Men Wanted on the In
ternadonal-Fifty Miles Now Under
Construction New Engines and
Cars VIII Come to the New Road
After Its Completion Next Spring,

Initial installments of the Spokane
International railways order for steel
rails are now In transit from the
Pennsylvania works of the Carnegie
company to the point on the Canadi-
an Pacifics Crows Nest road where
delivery will be made to Mr.. Corbin' S
company, says the Spokesman-Re-
view. The Canadian transcontinen-
tai road plucked the big traffic plum
Of the year to date In securing the
routing of this order.
The Spokane International placed
the order for the rails required on
l4o miles of road, aggregating in
round figures 1880 tons. The steel
includes 70 and S0-pound rails. Or
dinarily about 80 tons of this COM
modify is placed on the usual flatcar,
so that the entire consignment will
require about $50 cars. Figuring on
a basis of 25 cars to train, although
this is more than the C. P. R. can
haul over the Crows Nest pass, the
shipment means at least 25 train
loads
The steel is routed via the Great
lakes to Port William, Ont, thence
over the main line of the Canadian
Pacific.
The first consignment of steel for
the Corbin road was to have been
started west under contract on Aug
ust I, and is now presumably in tran
sit. Additional shipments will be
a. ,,aN.. he F,.l1
quota is delivered. Within a month
or so It is expected that the C. P. R.
will have a string of steel trains dis
tributed over its line between East
Kootenay and Port William. The
Canadian extension to meet the Spo-
kane International will not be COM
pleted until October, and this will
delay the laying of steel on the Corbin
road until then.
All steel will be laid from the
north end of the line. not pound
general way the construction of the
road will also be carried on from
the north. although grading is likely
to be under way from Spokane north
this fall or next winter.
1000 Men Are Wanted.
The location of the Spokane Inter
national is complete from the north
ern terminal to Standpoint, Idaho. but
from the latter point south to Spo-
kane several surveys are receiving
consideration, and a final decision
has not been reached. Something
over 1000 men are employed on the
northern so miles now under con-
struction, which embraces practically
all the heavy work on the foad. The
company is feeling the shortage of
labor keenly. D. c. Corbin stated
yesterday that his company could
utilize 1000 laborers II 1t were pos
sible to secure this number 1t is
hoped that when harvest is over and
warm weather moderates the supply
will be more extensive.
The first equipment to be delivered
to the company will be a number of
flatcars, to be utilized in final con-
struction work. The new locomo-
tives and other equipment ordered by
the Spokane International will not
start to arrive on the line until early
next spring.

OLD PEOPLE

Old People have more of the pains,

young. This is perfectly natural, be-
cause their b.ood is not so vigorous, nor
their powers of resistance so great, and
troubles that younger, healthy constitu-
ton could resist often aflict them.

he would get shot.
Saturday evening Bushee, accom-
panied by his brother, went to put on
a new door. After the brothers reach
ed the barn Masonappeared with gun
in his hands.
There was a row in which all three
men had a dispute, esding in Mason
raising the gun and discharging it at
the men.
The charge took effect, James receiv-
in several shot in one leg and groin.
The brother received several shot in
one hand.
The wounds while painful are not
considered dangerous but the men will
be laid up some time. They were taxi

he came from the White House, was

The money was to go to their widows.
