THE route across the state OF
Idaho President Mason. In speaking
OF the future Of the company. Is quoted
by the Statesman as saying, rs not
as yet determined, and may not be for
year. The engineers are hard at
work on two routes, one up the Payette
valley, and the other up the Boise. II
Is settled. however, that we will run
from Butte to the Big Hole pass over
the Bitter Root range, and from Cald-
well to San Francisco.
Between the Big Hole pass and
Caldwell. however. the route is quite
problematical. Good mining regions
are encountered both routes. BY go-
Ing up the Payette We will tap the big
pine forests, which would be missing
the other way, but there are some ad-
vantages to the Boise valley route over
the other.
The big disadvantages OF the route
up this valley, however. Is the engln-
eering difficulties In crossing the Saw
tooth mountains. Some tunneling
would be necessary. we don't know
yet how much. and the road would

be somewhat shorter than the other

Contracts for construction material
and equipment, which were made some
time ago, were approved by the annual
meeting, Delivery under these con-
tracts is timed so that by April con-

Leather Dreeches.

A hundred and fifty years ago the
farm hands and house servants of
England We're clothed in leather. A
good pair Of leather breeches was said
to pass from father to son as an heir
loOm.- Then boy went to school as
we'll protected as an armored cruiser.
The author Of "Didisburye in the 49,
offers some observations upon these
articles Of common wear: The test Of
good pair was to try if they would
stand upright of themselves when no.
body was in them. If they would do
so they We're good, strong stuff and
likely to last for many years. My
father remembered prentice lad COM
Ing to his father, whose fond mother
had provided him with such a pair,
and they were the means of "vast
Of fun" in game that Is unknown in
these days-that is, for the boys to set
the breeches upright and then jump
Into them without touching them with
the hands. 1t was probably a pair Of
such leather breaches that the Windsor
boy was wearing when George Ill.
asked him if he did not know that the
man before him was the king. I

Then why don't you go on your
knees, and you might kiss the kings

COrOner's Inquest Held Over Body
Of Martin Brandley. Mysteri.
0usly Dead.

The jury in the inquest held
over the body OF Martin Brand
ley returned a verdict late yes
terday to the effect that he came
to his death by causes unknown
to them. ..,..
County Attorney Mcdonald
and Coroner Marcum conducted
the inquest and examined SIX
witnesses, including DR.. Hender,
son, who held the post norton.
The other five witnesses we're
men who had been with Brand
ley on the fatal night. They tes-
titled that he was drunk and
that they saw him fall off the
bench in front of the Star
theater.
Coroner Marcum and DR..
Henderson believe that the man
was not murdered at all, but that
he fell off the bench as described
and that the shock of the two
foot fall was too much for bis
heart, weakened by excessive
stimulants. They declared that
they found the right side of the
heart in weakened condition.
Their explanation of the
broken nose and the ugly looking
bruises on the dead mans face
is that they were caused by the

RUTLEDGE LANDS
BAD POT HUNTER
John COchrane OF Grand Rapids
Pays Fine Of Sis and
Costs.

Game Warden A. G. Rutledge
arrested John Cochrane at Grand
Rapids, Tuesday, on the charge
of having in his possession parts
of two carcasses of deer.
Cochrane pleaded guilty to the
charge and was fined $50 and
costs for one deer, or thirty days
in Jail. and $65 and costs, or
forty five days in Jail for the
other deer.
Cochrane is an old offender
and Rutledge has had him under
surveillance for some time. The
warden left Bemidji on Monday
nights train, and went quietly to
work to land Cochrane. He
found the latter in the stable at
his home, where he was SHINING
one carcass, and had already cut
two others in two. Deputy
Sheriff Fred Fish was called in
and Cochrane.was arrested and
taken before Justice Huston.
The prisoner saw the futility
of resisting the case against him
and pleaded guilty, paying in all
Sis and costs for his little pas
time of violating the game laws.
This arrest and conviction was
made inside three hours, and it
will undoubtedly have consider
able effect on clearing that part
of Itasca county of the bad bunch
of pot hunters that have infested
the country around Grand
Rapids.

Jumpers Of the Sen.

Many of the inhabitants of the sea
are good Jumpers and some have be-
come famous. Among them should be
mentioned the tarpon or silver king. a
huge fish with scales that CLEAN like
silver. In the Pacific waters the tuna,
an ally of the horse mackerel, is noted
for its leaps. Sometimes a school
sweeps up the coast. and the powerful
fish, often weighing 500 pounds, are
seen in the air in every direction. They
dart like an arrow, turn gracefully five
or six feet in the air and come down,
keeping the water for acres in foam,
and, if not the greatest, they are GER
tainly the most graceful of the jump
ers of the sea.
