the grounds of the Spkoane Interstate

Portland who broke the worlds anna
teur record for the 100 yard dash,
making it in and 3-5 seconds.
Since the last Interstate Fair meet.
~, QUO has been expended in improving
and recovering this track, until it is
probably the fastest on the Pacific
Coast. With the coming of the best
horses Of California, this years fair

witnessed in the Inland Empire. Be
cause of the San Francisco disaster,
the fastest horses on the Coast are
coming to the north circuit.

HERR MOST PASSES AWAY.
Famous Anarchist Dies in Cincinnati
of Erysipelas After Long
Career.

Cincinnati, March 19.-Herr Johann
Most, the anarchist, died in this city
of erysipelas.
Herr Most came to this city on Mon
day on the invitation of friends and
has been the guest of Adolph Kraus,
of Cutter street. He was to have de-
liyered lecture in Chicago on
Wednesday night, but on account of
an attack of erysipelas he was obliged
to cancel his engagement, although
the attack was not regarded as seri-
Gus. UP to- few hours before his
death his physician expressed con-
fidence that his patient would soon re-
cover.
Herr Most was delirious most of the
time during his last few days ILL
ness, suffering greatly, but occasional
ly repeating parts of his most famous
speeches, using the German language,
with which he was naturally most ia

STORM IN THE ROCKIES.
Fall Of Snow Breaks All Records
Damage by Flood Is
Threatened.

Fresno, CAL, March ia storm of
unprecedented severity has been raging
for the past 60 hours and the region
between the San Joaquin and Kings
rivers Is threatened with the greatest
flood in years. The fall Of snow in the
mountains exceeds all records. Tele-
phone advices from Pine Ridge, which
is at the 5,000feet altitude, say al
ready over II feet of snow has fallen,
and at the summit the depth is said to
be over % feet. Both the Kings and
the San Joaquin are above the danger
line. The residents OF the Garfield
vineyards district worked all night in
binding rain, building levees, but
their work went for nothing when a
huge overflow wave went sweeping
through that district Friday morning.
Fancher creek, flowing south OF Fresno
into canals OF the Fresno Irrigation
Canal company, is beyond control, and
is laying waste vineyards. Already
miles of land are covered with five feet
of water. After night of terror the
900 people OF Laton, on Kings river, Fri
day morning moved in a body on to
the grade of the Santa Fe railway. The
levees about the town, which are six
feet high, were beginning to overflow,
and advices from the mountains were
to the effect that still greater floods
were coming.

need of hotel where self-support ng
women might find residence and whe e
transient visitors would feel no need
of chaperonage was obvious long be-
fore the Mother of her Country fur
nished a name to this comfortable
house with its blue and yellow colonial
decorations. But the memory of A. t.
Stewards attempt to subject grown
women to boarding school restrictions
in what is now the Park Avenue hotel
was slow to die and the advent OF the
Martha less than three years ago was
chiefly important to the funny men as
furnishing chance to picture it's lob
by inhabited by amiable elderly wom-
en- exchanging knitting patterns.
Yet from the first the Martha has
had waiting list of applicants for
the rooms it sets aside for dodgers,
and of late reading rooms, writing
rooms-half the little attractions it Of
fered as bait-have been swept away
by the pressure for bedrooms, the
same pressure that keeps all New
York hotels over-full.
The first hotel for women has sue
ceeded and second has now been es-
tablished uptown on the west side. 1t
is in charge of the widow of south
ern United States senator, thus going
| the Martha Washington one better, the
first hotel for women having man as
manager.

The Equitable finds itself in shape
where 1t can build. no investment

doubt that the proposition is thrown
out as feeler; but there is one thing
not to be forgotten. In some shape
the Equitable must rebuild. Nobody
can afford to let big lot of lower
Broadway land go in these days with
only ten stories of tax-andinterest-
paying Offices stacked on top of it.

encouraged to do their own washing,
too. thing which no hotel permits
women to do. The Mills hotels recruit
their guests to some extent from
young men just beginning work and
in much larger part from older men
who have missed success and need
respectable hating place before start
ing again.
Mills hotels for women would occupy
different field. New York has more
than quarter of million working
women, few of whom earn wages that
would permit them to live at the Mar
tina or it's rival. The average wages
of the $4,000 saleswomen is reckoned
at about five dollars per week. Many
of these women live at home. The
many who do not are pinched tighter
by poverty every year as the cost of
living increases. To pay for a fur
nished room and to get wholesome
meals and such neat dress as is re-
CURED in the modern shop out of the
average salesgirl's salary is next to
impossible. There is a moral menace
here as well as the physical danger of
starvation.
Paris, of all places, has already Mills
hotels for women with rooms at 20
cents night for transients. New York
needs two grades of them, one for
women whose earnings enable them to
pay from 81 to $40 per week and the
other providing for women who earn
from SIS to 81. A part of the money
needed for a hotel of the first grade is
Professionally subscribed, and it may
not be long before such house is
opened.
But where in New York is the girl
to live who does not and cannot get
more than SIS week?

he set his price at two cents and estab-
lished his own delivery system. He
dropped half million there. But
what is one the result of the cut rate
war? The World is making big money
at one cent. The Times is doing we'll
at the same price. The Sun stays at
two. The Tribune went to three cents
with an apology. Bennett went to
three cents without an apology; just
went. Figure the difference between
three cents and one every day except
Sunday on an edition of say 10000,
and you have only the beginning of
Benefits income.
Even Benefits fads pay. He took
up the cause of the automobiles when
everybody else was swearing at them.
He likes motor cars himself and offers
prizes for road contests which are
world-renowned. Now he has an enor-
nous amount of auto advertising and
a position as the daily organ of the
trade, of course unofficial. Again al
most alone among American papers
he espoused the Russian side in the
late unpleasantness with Japan, and
his Paris paper won valuable support
from French sympathizers with Rus
STA. Once in a mood Of impatience and
tnebrity Mr.. Bennett cabled orders to
stop the Telegram, his evening paper
1t was stopped, with the editorial an
nouncement cabled for the purpose
When Bennett had recovered from his
sulks, he cabled to start the Telegram
going again. The town laughed at the
performance but the shock to it's sys-
tenn did the Telegram good.
Mr.. Benefits desk in the Herald
building is always ready for him, the
papers at his hand, the summoning
bells in working order. With the Ly-
sistrata on this side of the Atlantic

OFFICIAL PAPER OF COUNTY
CASE IS DECIDED
CITY OF CHICAGO WINS VICTORY
OVER TRACTION COMPANIES.
United States Supreme Court Declares
Laws of 1859 and 1865 Con-
stitutional.

Chicago, March 13-The 99-year
act is valid, but the life of the street
car franchises is limited to the pc
riods as contained in the ordinances
previously passed"
This is the decision given by the
United States supreme court in Wash
ington Monday. From the meager re-
ports at hand it is believed that the
contention of the traction companies
has been defeated by the court in full
The act of 1865, which amended the
act of 1859, giving to the traction. COM
panies the right to operate street rail
way lines anywhere throughout the
tional, but the court in the details of
its opinion upholds the city.
The litigation in connection with the
99-year act has puzzled the ablest law
yers, and left the lay mind in state
of confusion bordering on mania.
From mere creditors bill to collect
a debt the litigation developed into a
claim that the street car companies
were entitled to 99-year rights on the
streets of Chicago, although no grants
had been given by the city. This claim
was not even seriously considered in
the first stages of the traction fight.
The decision and conduct of Judge
Grosscup in the litigation have been
severely criticised on the ground that
he showed too much partially for the
corporations.
The receivership and subsequent
complications have cost the Union
Traction company an enormous amount
of money in lawyers fees, receivers
salaries and court expenses.

breaking timbers started them to ac-
ton. In the forward coach of the
west-bound train every seat was occu
pied by the passengers, most of whom
were homeseekers on their way to the
northwest. A number of foreigners
were among them. and in their terror
they gave up life without making any
attempt to reach safety outside the
burning car. Paralyzed with fear and
with prayers upon their lips they sank
to the floor OF the car and were roasted
alive. The cooler ones in the car, see
ing their danger, rushed for the win
doWs and doors and, with the aid of
the passengers in the rear of the train
an those members of the train crew
who were unhurt, managed to reach
the open air. Many of them were in
jured more or less seriously by the
rough handling they received, or from
flying glass and timbers.
Relief Train Arrives.
Communication was opened with the
Pueblo office of the railroad from Port
land, mile or so away, and reliet
train with physicians was dispatched
to the wreck at once. AS quickly as
possible the injured were placed in
the sleepers and the engine of the re-
lief train started back to Pueblo with
them, and also the passengers of the
east-bound train who had been saved.
Another relief train came from Flor
ence, and the engine was coupled to the

clothing and personal property of the
victims of the disaster, until several
boxes had been filed These remains
were placed aboard the unchanged
sleepers of No. 16 and taken to Port
land, and subsequently brought to
Pueblo.
