ROUTE OF NEW ROAD.
Line is Practically Settled for Chi
cago Milwaukee & ST. Paul.

Cd9o milwaukee, q 81. PduI.
Contracts for the building of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, from
the Bitter Root Mountains to the Col
umbia river have been let to H. Henry
of Seattle.
The route follows down the St.
Joseph river from the Idaho+Mont-
ana line to a point below Farrell, or
st Joe, Idaho, then goes on to Tekoa,
WASH passes on to Rosalia, goes
along the south side of Rock lake and
then reaches Lind, on the Northern
Pacific.
From Lind the line will practically
follow the survey of the old Northern
Pacific cutoff from Lind to Ellens-
burg.
At Tekoa the St. Paul would con-
meet with the o. r. & N II, as report
ed, the st. Paul should come under
the Hartman influence, the ST. Paul
might use the o. r. & N. for getting
into Spokane, pending the completi-
ton Of its terminal line into here.
Tekoa is 40 miles from Spokane.
North Yakima, apparently, will not
be on the route.
From Ellensburg west the line
strikes through Snoqualmie pass, lit
tie north Of the Northern Pacific's
pass through the Cascades, and then
goes on into Seattle.
The route will traverse the great
wheat fields of the Spokane country.
and will give the Big Bend district an
entirely new route.
The distance across the state will
be much the shortest of any of the
transcontinental roads.

AN UP.IO.DATE FARMER.
e. B. Miner Uses Electricity POr Heat. Light

Utica, N. Y. (SpeciaD e. B. Miner
farmer living near the village of Oris-
kany Falls, whose farm embraces a sec
ton of the OriSkany Creek, has just COM
pleted the task of harnessing the creek
for heat, light and power.
He has built a dam and power-house

horse power, with which he warns and
lights his spacious farmhouse, lights his
barns and has power TO run a small feed
MILL silo cutter, straw cutter, or saw
wood for his neighbors, and also run a

Mr. Miner has always been an up-to-

he has got way ahead of any other far

Dealt In by L. w. Prior.

Cleveland, .. Especially - According
to a statement made by II. R. New
comb, of the bankers committee investi-
eating the affairs of Denison, Prior &
Co, which is in the hands of Receiver
Thomas II. Bushnell, the latest devel-
opments show that the gross liabilities
of the firm will be 100000, not includ-
ing the 100000 in supposed forged
securities. The assets of the firm, Mr..
Newcomb believes, will be about $780,
600.
The formal statement from Mr. New
comb to this effect was as follows:
Il have just had conference with
{. (. Denison, of Denison, Prior & Co.
We have gone carefully over the assets
and liabilities of the firm. AS near as
we can figure 1t out, the gross liabilities
will be 100000, not including the $I,ooo,-
900 in forged securities. Figuring these
in, the gross liabilities will be $I,ooo,ooo
The assets of the firm, we believe
will be S5oo,ooo That means that the
net liabilities will be $I,4ooooo unless
other forged securities are found and |
firmly believe that we now have found
all that exist
These figures are approximate, not
exact. Assets and liabilities may vary
to the extent of $4,000 or 100000
more sor less. The value of the assets
will depend OH how they are used"
Mr. Newcomb believes that few of the
forged bonds were placed into banks out
side of Ohio, and maintained that the
torgeries were used as collateral mostly
in Cleveland. That would make the ex-
tent of the involving outside financial
institutions small, Mr.. Newcomb says.
The amount of the forgerics were in
creased by 100000, and now total ST.
100000.
The following are the alleged forged
bonds discovered 10 date:

whether or not said association or any of
ITS ofhcers have contributed any of the
money, funds or securities or evidences
OF debt OF or belonging to or held by said
ASSOCIATION for any political purpose" the
examination to be held under oath.
The following question shall be asked
by the Investigators; HAS this bank

Mrs. Norris Case In House.

A sensational climax TO nearly FIVE
hours of somewhat humdrum debate on
the Philippine tariff came in the House
OF Representatives when young Mr.
Sheppard of Texas fercely arraigned the
Presidents subordinates for their con-
duct IN the recent Mrs. Morris episode
at the White House. Messrs Payne and
Grosvenor both sought to prevent him,
Mr.. Payne on the ground that it was not
germane to the bill before the committee
and Mr.. Grosvenor by a suggestion that
the subject better comported with the
dignity of a police court than that of the
House of Representatives
Mr.. Sheppard's remarks. were based
upon his resolution looking to an investi-
CATION of the affair He narrated what
he termed the unwarrantable and un-
necessary brutalities and barbarous treat
ment of Mrs Morris, and declared that
unless Congress took action we soon
would witness condition where citizens
cannot approach the President without
fear Of bodily harm from arbitrary sub
ordinates. The outrageous action toward
Mrs. Morris, he said, was distinct low
ering of the standards of American man
hood and in violation of the sentiment of
reverence for women.

Secretary Taft a Witness.

The Senate Committee on Inter
Oceanic Canals held its initial meeting
in the inquiry into Panama canal affairs.
Secretary of War Taft, the first witness,
was interrogated with view to acquir-
ing information needed as a guidance
for an intelligent investigation. He gave
a list of department chiefs and told some
thing of the duties of each, SO that the
committee is now in possession of knowl-
edge that is to be used in calling the
proper witness to bring out whatever
facts may be desired.
The meeting chiefly was for the pur-
pose of formulating a programme for
the investigation, and, therefore, the dis
cussion was held behind closed doors,
although it is the present intention to
hold public hearings.

New Sekes.

London { BY Cable) Former Premier
Balfour was beaten for reelection in
Manchester, his opponent, an obscure
lawyer named Horridge, turning a CON
servative plurality of 1880 into a liberal
of z453.
Winston Churchill, running in con-
servative district, was elected by plur-
ality of I24I, turning over a tory dis
trict majority of I47I.
The outcome was the most astonish-
ing ever known in England. The defeat
OF the tories has been overwhelming
and the liberal victory correspondingly
extraordinary. As the great liberal sue
cess IS bound to have mighty influence
on the other elections to be held in the
next few days, the indications are that
the liberals will sweep the entire country
and probably have a good working ma
Jorlty in the House of Commons.
The scope of the liberal victory is well
illustrated in the returns. In the thirty
tve constituencies representing seats in
Parliament the liberals have captured
thirty-four seats and the tories six. For
merly the conservatives held twenty
SIX of these seats and the liberals four
teen, clear gain of twenty votes in the
House for the liberals.
Six OF the thirty-four candidates elect
ed by the liberals are labor candidates.
Their success indicates that the labor
candidates in various constituencies must
be given consideration in the future cleo
tions, and they will probably be a force
to be treckoned with in the House. 1t
has been the aim of the labor leaders TO
hold the balance Of power in the next
House, and while il is still too early to
predict the ultimate composition of that
body, the success of the party has en-
codrsGed the leaders to believe they will
achieve their ambition.
Saturdays elections have given heavy

MOUSE TOTES" ITS OWN FOOD.
Creature Of the Desert Has Pocket
For This Purpose.


The pocket mouse, one of the com
mon rodents of the desert, has a gen
uine fur-lined pocket" on the outside
Of It's cheek. When it is hungry it
takes food from this pocket with it's
paw, just as man would pull a ham
sandwich from his pocket One of
these mice has been kept for three
years with no other food than the
mixed bird seed of commerce. Dur
ing this period it had not a taste of
either water or green food. Other ex
perimenters have found. in fact, that
these mice in captivity refuse
such treats, not seeming to know that
water is good to drink. The bird seed
put before this mouse contained not
more than 10 per cent, of moisture,
which is less than is necessary for
digestion. Stuff so dry as this cannot
even be swallowed until 1t is moisten-
ed by saliva. Yet this remarkable
mouse gave nothing but his time to
the interests of science. He suffered
nothing in health or spirits during his
captivity.
