new LINE WILL CARRY FALL CROPS
Spokane E. Inland Electric Rushes
Work on Line Through the Pa
louise Country.

COLFAX, Wash, March 20.-"he
right-of- way for the Spokane & In
land railway, which is being projected
from Spokane south through the Pa
louise country, has been practically Sc
cured for the entire line. A jury was
empanelled and sent out by the super
ior court under charge Of balitf to
view part of the right-of-way over
which there is litigation. Several
cases were combined to facilitate mat
ters, and when the assessment of dam
ages is made upon return of this jury
the right -of-way will be cleared.
Construction is now being rushed
all along the line so as to have the
trains in operation for the fall crop
of grain. The greatest trouble the
company is having to meet now is to
secure men to do the work. Wages
have been raised, but this does not in
duce the farmers, who are doing con-
siderable of the work, to leave their
farms.

Eastern Laborers Shipped In.

CULDESAC, Idaho, March 20-The
first shipment of eastern labor for the
railroad construction has reached Gull
desac direct from ST. Paul The men
were brought to Spokane in a special
car, the party numbering thirty-five,
and were sent to Culdesac on the reg
ular STANDARDIZATION train. The
shipment of eastern labor is in line
with the announced plan of the con-
tractors to bring men from the. east
if the camps could not be filled with
laborers already in the west. 1t is
understood that. orders for a large
number of railroad workers have been
placed with eastern employment agen-
cies, and the transportation will be
furnished both ways if the men remain
in the employment of the contractors
during the summer.

SEES SIGNS OF GRAFT.
Money Paid Out for Turnpkes Seems
To Have Gone Astray.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, March 20-Tha
Drake legislative committee, which is
Investigating the Cox administration
of public affairs in Hamilton county,
las brought to light facts showing that
last summer the county paid out $685.
237 for toll pixies, of which only $52,966
was turned over to former owners of
properties. Where the other 100000
of purchase money went the committee
hopes to find out today.
The witnesses examined included
former officers and directors of half a
dozen turnpikes under investigation.
Some testified that Attorney Charles
F. Dole acted as representative of the
county commissioners. Other stated
that he purchased the pixies at rates
varying from $3.50 to $500 a mile AMI
sold them to the county for a maxi
mum price of $4,000 a mile.
1t was also brought out that through
Dole the county commissioners had
purchased abandoned rOadways, pay
ing as high as $500 a mile for them.
Dole is quoted as saying that he got
all the money. He has been sub
poenaed and will be questioned. Suits
have been filed to recover excess price
from Dole.

the traffic than any Of it's competitors
No Fear From Hartman.
Hill interests have no fear of trouble
with Hartman when he reaches the
sound. The interests behind the Chi
cago. Milwaukee & ST Paul and those
identified with Hill have always been
friendly When the Gould system and
the Canadian Pacific arrive. nothing
beyond a momentary disturbance is
feared.
Hartman has already aroused the
jealousy Of San Francisco by his sue
cess in diverting empty cars north
ward over the Southern Pacific coast
line. loading them with lumber prod
ucts and shipping east via. the o. r.
& N. and Union Pacific. This has ma
terially benefited Portland and the as
sistance given the Oregon metropolis
has hurt California. If favoritism to-
ward Puget sound is shown, both Ore
gon and California interests would be
hurt. For that reason Hill representa-
tives believe the Hartman invasion
cannot bring with it any traffic dis
turbance.

THIS IS HENRIK |sBEN's BIRTHDAY
Noted Dramatist Was Seventy Eight
Years Old Today-CeIebrate in
Quiet Manner.

CHRISTIANIA, March 2O.-Dr. Hen
rik Ibsen is celebrating his seventy
eighth birthday today. Although he
has to some extent recovered from the
severe illness which brought him near
deaths door last year, his health is
still poor and his strength feeble. Ow-
ing to his weakness no effort was
made to arrange for today any pub
lie demonstration in his honor. Owing
to his illness Dr. Ibsen was practically
compelled to give up his literary ac-
itvity, but his interest in the events Of
every day history is still as lively as
ever and his secretary reads to him
from the daily papers every morning.
A large number of kilograms and let
tiers of congratulatiOn arrived at ID
sens house during the day.
The venerable dramatist spent the
morning quietly with his only son and
the wife of the latter. a daughter of
the great novelist. Bjornatjerne Born
son. Shortly after noon Ibsen took his
daily drive, accompanied by his at
tendant, and in the afternoon he re-
ceived his sons father-in-law and a
few other intimate friends.
Henrik Ibsen was born on March 30
1928, at Sjien, Norway, the son of ex-
tremely poor parents. At sixteen he
left school and became an apprentice
in a drug store at Grinstal, intending
ultimately to study medicine at the
university of Christiania. At the age
of twenty-five he went to Christiania
and entered the school at Holtberg
where he was a comrade of SjOernsen.
He made several unsuccessful literary
attempts, abandoned medicine and fin
ally, in 1851, was appointed by Ole
Bull as director of the National thea
fer at Bergen. His attention was thus
turned permanently to dramatic writ
ing. In 1858 he became artistic d1-
rector of the Norwegian theater in
Christiania. His best known darams
are "The Dolls House" Ghosts, and
..Pillars of Society" His plays are
greatly admired in Norway and Ger
MANY for their discussion OF social
nroblems. For number of years ID
sen lived in Rome, but number OF
wears ago he returned to his native
country and took an active interest IN
political and social reform movements.

Great Magnate Will Soon Have
-Four Lines Across State.
HAVE GRIP ON WASHINGTON TRAFFIC
HE WILL MAKE A HARD FIGHT
WITH HARTMAN FOR RAIL-
ROAD BUSINESS.

With a network of railroads drawn
about the state of Washington; tracks
laid gridiron-like across this common.
wealth; oriental and coastwise fleets
pouring in traffic and three transcon-
tinental lines tapping the richest Sec
tons of this country, James J. Hill
has a position in the northwest abso-
lutely impregnable. His declaration
that he will welcome any new railroad
coming to this state is sincere, for his
position cannot be disturbed.
When he completes the Victoria
Vancouver & Eastern railroad, Hill will
have a line crossing the Cascade
mountains on the northern border of
this state. He has $500 men rushing
construction work on that road now
When the north bank road, which the
northern Pacific is constructing down
the Columbia river, is completed, Hill
will have a water level line reaching
deep water on the southern border of
Washington. Between these two roads
are the main lines of the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific, with the
Cascade and Stampede tunnel routes
through the Cascades, says the Seattle
Times.
The Puget Sound Basin.
Hill representatives have made
thorough study of the Puget Sound
basin, it's resources and possibilities
for development. Between Blaine on
the Canadian border, and Portland Or
in what the Hill interests term the
Puget Sound basin, lies a territory
305.6 miles in length and of greater
width than the Appalachian basin on
the Atlantic. Between Washington. d
c., and New York, on the Atlantic
coast, in a distance of but 22S miles,
there is a population of 100000. The
resources of this country, much small
er than the Puget Sound basin, are
not any more diversified than those of
this state.
President James J. Hill is an opti-
mist on the subject of Washington's
growth. He believes that ultimately
the Puget Sound basin will rival the
section between New York and Wash
ington in population and in wealth. If
it does, his railroad position is already
secure and cannot be disturbed by any
of the new lines.
Population on Pacific.
All the advantages of population and
trade lie with the Pacific ocean coun-
tries. Hill representatives show that
three-fourths the population of the
globe is either on the Pacific ocean or
tributary to it. The Atlantic coast
cities have been built up through the
trade of One-quarter of the worlds
population. Hill is enthusiastic in his
conviction that the Paclf1C ocean tfaOe
will build I'D a country far richer and
more populous than the Atlantic coast
districts
Hill representatives take the posi-
ton that the coming of ne wrailroads
will add to the population and business
of the northwest and that the Hill sys-
tenn, already here and firmly in
tranchad will get a larger share of

Plea for the Simple Life.
(Kansas City Journal)

Speaking of the woeful waste of
money, we wish to interrupt the meet
ing long enough to give a few figures
on an important matter that seems to
have been entirely overlooked" says
Homer Hoch. I'VE refer to the four
buttons on the sleeves of mems coats.
Now. there are probably 100000 men
in Kansas. and they probably have on
an average two coats apiece. That
makes 100000 coats and 4,S00,000 or
400. 900 dozen sleeve buttons. The but
tons cost about 20 cents dozen, and
at that rate the men of Kansas alone
are carrying around on their coat
sleeves in the form of buttons that have
no use on earth or in the sky an in
vestment of about $4,000. And the
estimate is most conservative. Fellow
countrymen, in the name of economy
and thrift and philanthrophy and busi-
ness sense, and all sorts of other things,
is there no way to stop this reckless
extravaganza

proper action being taken.
Secret Service men are already in
Chattanooga, and more are on their
way to secure evidence sufficient to
cause the conviction OF members of the
mob on charges the Department of JUS

the situation is grave, and demands

every effort will be made to punish the
guilty ones.

Great battleships like the 1S,O00-ton
English battleship Dreadnaught are the
crying need of the American Navy, ac-
Cording to Admiral Dewey, who ap-
peared before the House Committee on
Naval Affairs to discuss the future of
the American Navy. At least two 49,
O00-ton battleships with 10 12-inch
guns each should be authorized at once,
in Admiral Dewey's opinion. He would
have these of American design, and
thinks We should be creative rather
tl:an initiative in developing the Navy.
Admiral Dewey also believes extern
sive experiments with submarine boats
should be carried on. In case of at
tack by a foreign navy an American
harbor of supply would be necessary,
and submarines, in his opinion, are
admirably adapted to prevent foreign
foe from gaining such a supply harbor
The Admiral does not favor additional
cruisers and armored cruisers, but be-
lieves war scout ships of the monitor
tS pc should be built.
Admiral Dewey thinks battleships
should not be kept constantly in COM
mission. He would have them rest in
suitable harbors where a small crew
could keep them in condition. This
would result in great saving to the ma
chinery. Crews could be trained sat
isfactoriiy on smaller and less expen-
siye ships, in his opinion.

had once been in battle they under
stood the value of drill and discipline,
and took to it far more readily than
Bueli's men did while being held in

All the same, Gen. Buell. made the Army
of the Ohio, later the Army of the
Cumberland. one of the most magnifi-
cent fighting machines that the world
ever saw, and its splendid record on
scores of battlefields was largely due to
the patient. firm, unrelaXing drill and
discipline he gave it in its early days
The fruits of that preparation were
seen at Shiloh, where the magnificently

Ohio as they moved across the battle
field excited the frank, outspoken ad-
miration of Gems. Grant and Sherman.
