DROP CAFE CAR
OFF AT JOEL
Traffic So Heavy 1t Has
to Make Room for
Coach

The Northern Pacific has found it
necessary to abandon the running of
its cafe car into Lewiston because Of
the increase in travel, which necessi-
tates additional seats. The engines
on this division are not powerful
enough to pull an extra coach up the
Kendrick hill, so it was a question of
either abandoning the cafe car entire
ly or sidetrack it at the top Of the hill
The latter course was decided upon.
and'now the car is cut off the south
bound train at Joel, where it remains
all night. The Spokane train picks it
up in the morning and carries it into
Spokane.
The taking off of the car does not
meet with public approval
Deprives Many of Meals.
Heretofore many persons going up
the line have been in the habit Of get
ting their breakfasts on the train,
which leaves here at $40 O'Clock.
Hereafter they will either have to get
their morning meal before they start
or wait until the train reaches Joel,
which is about 1880 o'clock, and then
get their breakfast.
Coming into Kendrick and Lewiston
there is also much Inconvenience.
After the cafe car was put on people
| coming down from Pullman and Mos
COW and intermediate points got in
to the habit of getting their lunch
con on the car, having plenty of time
to eat before the train reached either
Kendrick or Lewiston.

People going up on the Clearwater
or Cpldesac branches did the same
thing. they having time to eat before
the train reached Arrow for the Clear
! water branch. OF North Lapwai for
the Sites train.
I But now they cannot do it because
the car is cut off at Joel. less than ar
hour after leaving Moscow The
! only benefit that the general public
derives from the change is that OF
days when travel is unusually heav,
there are more seats by the train car.

BABB'S HACKERS
LAUGH At STORY
Do Not Think Railroad At
tOrney Can Not Succeed
J. Il. Beatty

Lewiston attorneys are much anus
ed at the assertion from Washington,
D. c.. made in a Geographic dispatch,
to the effect that President Roosevelt
has about made up his mind not to
appoint a railroad attorney to sue
coed Judge James NJ. Beatty on the
Idaho federal bench, citing as a pre-
cedent the death of the late Judge
Bellinger of Oregon. This dispatch
says in part:
THE president first named E. NJ.
Cotton, general counsel for the Q. r.
& n. 1t was then called to the
was a railroad attorney. He request
ed him to resign, which Mr.. Cotton
did, the president naming Judge VOL
verton from the Oregon supreme bench
This is is said, will have bearing on
the filling of the vacancy caused by
Judge Beatty's resignation"
Statement Absolutely False.
The above statement is absolutely
false. 1t is a matter of history that
Mr.. Cotton was never appointed to
the federal bench of Oregon. Com
menting on the matter today one OF
the most leading attorneys, who, al
the time of Mr.. Bellinger's death was
in Portland, Oregon, and followed the
matter, closely, said
1.-THE facts in the case. which his
tory will bear me out if one wants to
take the trouble to investigat it, are:
When Judge Bellinger died the
president asked Mr.. Cotton to fill the
vacancy. This Mr.. Cotton absolutely
refused to do, though considerable
pressure was brought to bear upon
him. He gave as his excuse that he
liked his railroad work and did not
! care to exchange it for the bench
The appointment of Judge wolverton
followed.
Work Harder for 1abb.
| IF the facts in the case were known
relative to the Associated Press dis
patch am confident that you would
find out that the message was sent ir
the hopes of frightening or disceurag.
| ing one or two prominent railroad at
torneys who are in the race for the
bench and are too dangerous to suit
certain politicians who want a GER
tain man appointed. In that effort
they may or may not succeed"
The two prominent railroad men in
the fight are James e. Babb of Lew
iston and Attorney DIETRICH of Boise
AS far as the Lewiston attorneys are
concerned they are going to pay nj
Attention to the Washington story
but will work the harder for Mr.
Babb. Nothing is known here as t.
the effect the story has had, or viii
have, upon the candidacy Of Mr.. Del
trich.
