FROGS FALL IN
GREAT
NUMBERS

Lewiston, Idaho, Sept. 4.-Like
the mythical city in the fairy story
which was visited by showers of
STANCE horned toads. Lewiston was
visited by a rain of small toads dur
ing a recent rain. Before the storm
not toad was to be found. but after
the rain ceased the walks were COW
cred with tiny amphibians. All over
the city. on the business streets and
up the hill in the residential dist
riots. They hoped and peeped.
Sidewalks in tthe business dist
rict were so covered with them that
1t was impossible to walk without
treading upon the little animals and
rather than attempt to dodge them
many people remained indoors. At
tempts to sweep them from the side
walks were dismal failures for as
fast as they were swept into the street
they would hop back. apparently pre-
ferring the smooth. wet surface of
the concrete.
Where they came from ana whittier
they went is a mystery, but many
theories are offered as to their arriv-
al. 1t is generally accepted that
they were swept from the plateau
north of the city by the high winds
and carried until the rain fell, when
they were dashed to the ground Col
or is given to this theory for many
of the toads were seen dead upon
the streets. The toads disappeared
after the rain as mysteriously as they
came, and forty-eight hours later
not one could be found.
The theory of their having rained
down upon the city is upheld by the
superintendent of the state fish hatch
cry, who says that he has witnessed
similar occurrences, where minnows
were carried in the clouds for miles.

DRIVING
THE TUNNEL
Mighty Project of The Colo

Company's Near Glen
wood to Be Far Under
Way.---Its Vastness Re-
markable.

Denver, Sept. 4.-The driving of a
enteen feet wide and twelve feet deep
a distance of twelve miles through
the mountains near CIenwood, is one
of the mammoth projects which will
shortly be undertaken by the Central
Colorado Power company. This tun-
mel will be driven near the Shoshone
plant of the company on the western
slope, and will be the longest and
the largest of its kind in the world
The magnitude of the project can be
better realized when il is known that
at certain SEASONS of the year the tun-
mel Will be capable of carrying the en-
tire flow of the Grand river.
The tunnel is Just part of one plant
There are three plants under way,
and it is understood that sites for
still additional plants are being con-
sidered by the company. 1t develop
ed today that part of the power of
these immense plants will be used for
electrifying a portion of the Union
Pacific system over the heavy grades
and probably for the purpose of cleo
trifying its lines in and about DEN
YER.
The officers of the companies and
those associated with them declined
to discuss their plans for publication
at this time. And those who do give
out information will not permit their
names to be used
The immense tunnel which is to be
dug at the Shoshone plant will be
first constructed for a distance or
two miles and will generate 10000
horse power. The tunnel will ulti-
masely be dug for an additional
ten miles which will make 1t twelve
miles long when completed and treb-
lie the capacity of the plant. II will
make the largest fiume In the world
used for the purpose of developing
water power. It Will 80 directly
through the range of mountains and
shall have sufficient drop to develop
a tremendous force. which will be us
ed in generating electric power. 1t
will be as large as railway tun-
mel.
The plans for electrifying the I'm
ion Pacific are being carried out by
the railroad company in New York
and the officers of the power compan-
les refuse to discuss them here.

THREE RECEIVERS NAMED
Kansas Supreme Court Appoints Men to Take Over Brewery
 Property in State.
IS 4 GREAT VICTORY FOR PROHIBITION
Judge 8. H. Allen, c. H. Whitcomb and Judge F. F. Carver, all of To- peka, Named to Handle the Brew ers' Property-The Bond Re- quired.

Topeka, Kan, April 25.-The su- preme court Wednesday appointed Judge s. H. Allen, c. H. Whitcomb and Judge T. F. Carver, all of Topeka, as receivers for the Kansas property of the following brewery concerns
 The Helms Real Estate company; Ferd Helm Brewing company; Kan sas City Brewing company; Rochester Brewing company: Imperial Brewing company; Pabst Brewing company; Heim Brewing company; Val Blatz Brewing company; Joseph Schlitz Brewing company.
 The court fixed the joint bond Of the three receivers at $5,000 for each company which means the three fe- ceivers will have to put up $45,009 bond. The understanding is that thS receivers will act jointly and not divide up the companies among them.
 There was no receiver appointed for the Anheuser-B Busch Brewing company because they had entered an appear ance in the case and will fight the receivership proceedings.
 No receiver was appointed for the Mahan Supply company at Wichita.
 The receivers put up their bond Wednesday and will at once take possession of all property in sight.
 They will doubtless at once seize idle hour park" at Pittsburg. owned by the Helm company and good deal of real estate in Kansas City and Leavenworth. It will then be up to the brewing companies to prove their ownership, if they desire to do so.
 When Gov. Hoch was informed of the courts action he said Those are good appointments and this whole thing is great victory for prohibit ton"
 The value of the property of the nine brewery companies and one wholesale whisky concern located Tn Kansas which is to be turned over to the receivers is estimated at S250,0o0. This property includes liquors. bar fixtures. wagons, animals and ware houses and is located principally in Topeka, Kansas City, Wichita, Leaven- worth, Atchison, Salina, lola, Galena, ] pittsburg and Columbus.
 Attorney General Jackson Wednes- ] day declined to say in what manner the captured liquor would be dis i posed of. Whether 1t could be sold or would have to be destroyed, was question that he would not decide until later The other property will be sold, he says, and the proceeds turned over to the state to defray the cost of the present suits,

ALID THAT WON'T COME OFF.
But at Hot Springs Ii Will Have Holes
 to Ease Pressure.

" AooN | ASSSulCs
 Hot Springs, April 2S.-At a conference between Mayor todd, Chief of Police John w. Camp bell and committee of the Citi- zens' Improvement Union. 1t is stated the future of gambling in this city was decided upon and deiued. Although none of those present would make any direct statement as to what occurred, it is currently runored that the mayor expressed his intention of putting the Hid" on so thorough. ly that it will not come off.
 It is not generally thought that todd will go to the extreme in enforcing the "lid" rule, at least to the extent that has been practiced in Fort Smith. The war will be made principally on ordinary gambling and policy games.
