A Narrow Escape.

The late train last evening ON the
Occur d'Alene d Spokane electric
railway narrowly escaped a serious
accident while nearing Greenacres.
A COW had strayed on the track and
refused to get out of the way Of the
car which was approaching at full
speed. The train hit the COW with a
crash, just about midships but did
not knock her from the track.
The train did not pass over the COW
but it rolled under the fender and
was pushed along the track in front
of the wheels, with the groans and
bleats of the COW adding to the creak-
ing of the wheels. When the train
backed up TO clear the COW, there was
a rending and crashing of bones
that could be heard for some little
distance.

Successful Truck Alarming.

That the vicinity of Occur d'Alene
is adapted to the raising of garden
truck and fruits is demonstrated and
proven beyond a doubt this year by
the fact that from two pounds of
White Wonder potatoes, 1876 pounds
of the finest kind of potatoes were
produced in "a hills. This was done
on the small tract owned by Henry
Molkenthin, in the vicinity of the Y,
who peddles vegetables in the city.
Last year from three pounds of po-
tatoes he produced a sack weigh
ing 100 pounds, and from this
amount of seed he raised 30 sacks
this year. Mr.. Molkenthin is among
the first to embrace the excellent OPP
portunity to make money from the
truck farm, and while he is but ex
perimenting, he has achieved great
deal in selecting varieties adapted to
this section.

STANDS ON HIS RECORD
WIN Abstain From Talking
Politics,

Grangeville, Idaho. Oct. 49,
Chief Justice Stockslager of the su-
preme court, democratic candidate
for governor, made the opening
speech of his campaign Monday
night. He said that he would abstain
from discussing political questions,
as he believed it the duty of judge
while holding office TO do so. He
rested his claims for the office of gov
ernor upon his record as pubic
official.
This is Judge Stockslager's first
visit to Grangeville, and he said he
was really amazed when he saw the
fine grain fields, fat stock aud all the
evidence of prosperity,
Judge Stockslager expressed the
opinion that Governor Gooding
should not devote so much of his
time in his speeches to his splendid
business administration" as he was
confident that there were many acts
of the administration that could be
assaied with profit to the democratic
party He thought it ridiculous for
the governor to go about the state
telling the people that he would
build them north and south rail
road. "When left home l had to
travel through Oregon and Washing
ton to reach the northern part of the
state and think you will all have to
do the same for a number Of years. '

Made a Good GETAWAY.

Some weeks ago man named
Kennedy. of Hotchkiss, was ar.
rested for some offense and was
incarcerated in Jail at Delta, from
which he speedily made an escape.
1t turns out that he came to
Hotchkiss and sought work Sc
curing employment with SON in
law of Dan Brannon. Here he
remained for two weeks, when he
again decamped taking a horse,
saddle and bride as souvenirs.
He went to Cedaredge, at which
place he was located through the
efforts of Bert Bross, our city
marshal. Bert notified Sheriff
Gibbs and that official picked up
the bird near Eckert and again
placed him in Jail in Delta.
The arrest was made Monday
and on Wednesday he was to
have been given a preliminary
examination and Hank Ham,
mond, the deputy jailer, was sent
to bring the prisoner into court,
He unlocked the cell and in some
way gave the foxy boy a chance
and in twinkling Hank was
playing checkers with his nose
while his bird played the part of
jailer deserting his post, AT

are being made to recapture the
audacious culprit, while Ham

A Simple Story Common to Imperialism

two simple letters. 1t is a story
familiar in many an American
home ever since this government
adopted colonial policy. 1t is
story common to the program of
imperialism. The parents of this
dead boy have the consolation OF
knowing that their son fell bravely
fighting under his country's col
ors; but it was an unnecessary
sacrifice and all OF the Philippine
Islands and all of their wealth
and opportunity for exploitation
are not worth the life's blood of
one of Americas S Tom Harrisons.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. T. Harrison, of
Saltillo. Tenn, recently received
the following letter:
MALABSNG. Mindanao, Mar. IA, '06
Mr.. J. T. Harrison, Saltillo, Tenn.
Dear Sir-Iou have by this
time received news of the death
OF your son Tom. | hope so, as
| would not want to be the first
one to send you such heart-rend-
ing news.
First, let me offer my heartfelt,
sympathy to you and Toms rela.
tives in this sad bereavement. He
was a man and a soldier, we'll
liked by all who knew him. |
knew him very intimately as he
was member of my squad. l
always found him attentive to his
duties, and in every way ready
at all times to do what he could
to help others.
Believe me, miss Tom indeed.
He was my "Bunkie," and | now
miss him, as the space he had
occupied alongside of my bunk is
now vacant, and there is no Tom
to talk to and joke with.
Again, let me offer you my
heartfelt sympathy, and rest as
sured, Tom is missed in every
sense in this company.
Now then, let me tell you the
reason tor my writing to you:
The fighting in which Tom Har.
rison lost his life was prolonged
two days. 1t seems orders were
changed after we had arrived at
the top of mountain on the 9th OF
March. We waited in sight of
the enemy's forts for to take
action. But we were recalled
from our position and told to wait
another day. 1t was during this
wait, from 8 a. m. till $3.50 p. m,
that Tom and | made an agree

THE FISHING PRIVILEGES.
Additional Thought Regarding Building
for a More Popular Colorado.

In its last issue the Montrose
Western Empire discusses the
suggestion made by this paper
relative to parking the banks of
streams by the state. In some
way they have been led into a
serious error regarding the pro-
posal. They say that we pro-
posed to park the Gunuison only.
This was very far from our
thoughts. We want to see the
plan adopted as genuine state
measure, and extended as rapidly
as possible under the supervision
OF the game department to every
trout stream in the state.
We observe that there is as yet
no objection to the plan, though
there are some doubts expressed
as to whether the legislation can
be secured. Regarding this we
should like to say;
First, There is absolutely no
constitutional question involved.
The state may now acquire any
property it may deem wise, by
the process OF purchase, either by
private agreement, or by con-
demnation proceedings. All the
legislation needed is an appro-
priation to promote it, a statute
to define its scope, department
to undertake the work and regu.
lations concerning and manage
ment of the parks.
Second, The revenue may be
easily acquired through the Ii
ccnsc fund. All or part may be
so used. Additional funds might
be appropriated if the state saw
fit. There is no reason why the
act should become burdensome.
The local desire to stimulate
tourist and sportsmcn's patronage
may be depended upon to aid
rather than rctard the work of Sc
curing concessions from the
present owners of fishing privi-
leges. Naturally the game de-
partment will refuse to stock
streams where the public are
barred and this to will aid the
department in securing the
grounds as they may desire.
Third, Any objection that may
be urged by property owner is
likely to fade away under an in
telligent presentation of the facts.
No change in the surroundings is
necessary. All the state desires
is the giving to all persons a
right of way along the banks of
streams. The ranchmen would
hardly have made objection to
this were it not for the fact that
fishermen were unfair in the eX-
ercise of that privilege, They
would walk across bends of the
river, tramping down the grass,
turn their teams loose in meadows
and in many ways abused the
privileges that originally were

were freely given. Under the
state park system they would still
be shut out of injuring the ranch
man, while they would possess
the right to use limited area on
each bank of the stream.
AS we have previously said in
this connection the advantages
are many fold. The ranchmen
will be protected from the fisher
man who does not care to observe
their rights. The public will be
safe and secure in the possession
of ample fishing rights. In few
years the tame of Colorado will
have been so widely advertised
through this legislation that thous
ends will seek our state as a re
sort state where hundreds now
claim the privilege. There will
be no friction as at present. Syn
dicates of the rich will not at
tempt to monopolize all the sport
ing privileges. They will be on
level standing with all but will be
unable to shut out their less at
fluent neighbors.
The most desirable thing is that
there shall be wide discussion.
Well considered legislation is
rarely bad legislation. If this
matter shall be discussed and
considered by the people of the
state before the time of the in
PRODUCTION of bills it is extremely
improbable that an unjust or in
complete bill will be passed. The
NEWSPAPER is doing all that it
can to give the necessary public
ity, 10 the end that the people. as
well as the coming Legislature.
will understand what is intended
to be done. In this connection
we desire to thank those of our
brother editors who have so
kindly commented on the matter
and assisted to make a campaign
for the adoption of the idea.
Some of our friends who are en-
thusiastlc for the bill have sug.
gested that if publicity were given
to the proposed measure early, it
would arouse the opposition and
the bill might fail. If it can be
beaten by the people understand
ing its provisions then it should
in no wise ever become a law.
The laws the people want are at
all times the ones that should
pass.
We expect in the near future
to print sketch of the proposed
legislation So that all may read
and consider it.
We have given the subject
enough consideration to believe
it not only feasible solution of
a vexing question, but splendid
advance step for this Centennial
state.

The day before this final charge
