IDLE MEN TO SPARE

= In spite of the fact that many re-
ports have come from the railroad
and logging camps of the West to
the effect that work is hampered by
a scarcity of labor, it is reported
from Minneapolis, where many of

there is an increasing surplus of
laborers in that city.

tilted all railroad companies with
lines running into Spokane that
passengers brought from railroad
and logging camps must be pro-
vided with certificates of health.
All these camps have physicians,
but Of late methods have been so
lax that sufferers from smallpox
and other contagious diseases have
been allowed to leave and mingle
with healthy people. DR.. Genoway
said that the report in the morn
ing paper which made it appear as
though Spokane had been quaran-
tined against all the outside terri
tory, was untrue and that there
was not the least cause for alarm.
His method is merely a precau-
ton. Railroad companies today
sent out notices to camps that
when men left they should be pro-
vided with health certificates.

SLICE Of CITY
LAND

OLYMPIA, Jan. 4.-The long
pending case between the Northern
Pacific railroad and the city of Spo-
kane and the Cannon estate has
been decided by the supreme court
against the railroad company. Ac-
tion was brought by the company
TO establish right to a 400-foot strip
of right of way through Cannon s
addition. The owner of the addi-
ton, A. NJ. Cannon, plated his
land up to within 100 feet on each
side of the track, dedicating street
crossings on this plat. This dedi-
cation stood for nearly 20 years
without protest and is held to be
established by adverse possession.
The company is estopped from
closing 20 streets by the decision.
Taxes have accumulated to the
amount of about $4,000 against the
property involved during the litiga-
ton. 1t is expected that an effort
will be made to compromise tax
payment with the county commits

GENEVA, Sept. 1.-Two young Ameri-
cans have had a very unpleasant ex-
perience of the methods of the Swiss
police.
They are staying at one of the leading
hotels in Lucerne, and were given the
other night bad 50-lire (S12.50) note.
They gave this to shopkeeper, who
handed 1t to the police when he discovered
1t to be forgery, with the result that the
Americans were promptly arrested and
lodged in prison.
After they and their baggage had been
searched they were found to be innocent
of the charge and liberated.
The Americans left Lucerne at once for
Zurich, but they had hardly arrived in
an hotel there when they were again ar
rested on the same charge and taken to
prison In spite of their protests. One of
them was kept in Zurich. while the other
was taken under police escort back to
Lucerne for a new inquiry.
The American consuls in these towns
protested, two bank managers assured the
police that the prisoners were of good
family and had practically unlimited
credit in their banks to draw on, but still
the police were suspicious.
At the second inquiry nothing more
was proved, and the Americans were
again liberated with abject apologies The
cantonal authorities at Lucerne also apol-
ogIzed profusely. and dismissed the detec-
tive who brought the false charge
It is stated that the Americans will

DUBLIN, Sept. IAN extraordinary
story comes from Youghal, County Cork
A young man named O'Donnell, who
had been an inmate In a charitable in
stitution there, died a few days ago, and
arrangements were made for his inter-
ment at Ferrypoint County Waterford
coffin was ordered and forwarded b
the institution.
Next morning the relatives removed 1t
to the young mans former residence, Ncar-
rying 1t all the way on their shoulders
Remarks were frequent from the pail
bearers about the lightness of the cof-
fin but as the young mans illness was
protracted, it was concluded he had
wasted away.
Some hours after the coffin had been
deposited at his house, a relative who
had not seen him for several years, ex-
pressed a desire to see his face. The
desire was opposed, but in face of a pers
sistent request, the lid Of the coffin was
allowed to be unscrewed.
All attending the wake had gathered
round to take last view of the body,
but to their establishment quantity of
shavings was all that was to be seen.
AS soon as the parties recovered from
their shock the empty coffin was taken
back to Youghal, and in the institution
from which it had been taken the corpse
still lay.
The funeral party returned with the
body in the early hours of the following
morning, and encountered on its way rev.
elers returning from Queenstown regatta.
The spectacle gave the superstitious
peasantry a shock, and they fed from
the road to the nearest farmhouse.

SPLENDID RECEPTIONS
Severe Criticism of Jealous Britons
Draws Counter Fire of Jealous
Americans Who Are

Special cabl, to The Herald.

Special Cab to The Herald.
LONDON, Sept. THE American
friends of Ambassador Reid deeply re-
sent the criticisms made in English So
ciety of his magnificent hospitality dur
ing the last season in London. In
situations are freely made that it is
inappropriate and pretentious for an
American ambassador to give enter
tainments rivaling those of royalty in
splendor.
The reply to this is that the Reds
have lived in London almost on the
same scale as they have been accus-
toned to in America. They think 1t
unkind and unjust, therefore, for the
English, whose pace happened to be
simpler than the American ambassa-
doris to condemn him for following
in London the social customs of his
wealthy countrymen at home.
Mr.. Reid's American admirers In
London hope, therefor, that he will
continue to make Dorchester house,
which is the finest mansion in the met
ropolis. the scene of the most dazzling
functions ever known in London.
