a, reduction of so cents per day.
Z When the pressmen struck, one
month ago tonight, the printers we're
necessarily locked out. Later, the

the copmositoIs accept the 1906
scale, which the latter refused TO do.
After a couple Of weeks delay the
printers decided to arbitrate, but
the publishers demand was renewed,
and the question was finally disposed
of tonight. This action leaves tbs

prospect Of resumption OF daily

Naval circles are aghAst and the

catastrophe, coming so soon after the
loss of the French submarines boat
Lutin, in which 10 men met death.
The entire atferpart of the lena

the victims were hurled through the

Of the drydocks. Scores on board

DIRT FLIES ON
ELECTRIC LINE
Crews East of City Clearing Right
of Way

The railroad between this city and
Wallace to be build by the Spokane
Wallace Interstate Electric Railway
company, is now practically assured.
Work has been commenced east of
the city by a clearing and grading
crew along the right of way.
The railway has practically secured
a 100 foot right of way between this
city and Wallace and the rougher
work of clearing and grading has be-
gun. One Of the grading crews Is now
camped near Silver beach and another
crew is camped further along the
road towards Wallace. All of the
underbrush and larger trees are being
cut down and thrown aside and the
crew is doing the rougher work
of tearing out stumps and loosening
the earth, preparing the way for the
real grading crew that will make the
right of way ready for the ties and
steel. The line will pass through
the city, but just where is not defin-
lily known. Either the Occur d'Alene
& Spokane line will be used, or the
company will apply for a franchise
for right of way over GardeI
street. The latter method is thoughi
to Le the more favorable with tb'
powers behind the movement, which
is credited to the Washington Waite
Power company or parties acting TO
that corporation. 4
