NO INFORMATION HERE
REGARDING SMUGGLER

Persistent rumors are anoat that a
strange looking craft which was anchored
In Bristol Hefbor during the last few
days had landed a cargo Of smugged
West Islanders.
Members OF the crew on the ferryboat
Bristol state that they saw the ship at
anchor as they were passing on their reg
ular trip and from other sources comes
the information that for two nights small
boats were plying between the unknown
ship on the shore. so II Is presumed that
the boat must be a smuggler engaged In
landing foreigners without Uncle Sans
approval.
The authorities at the United States GUS
tom house and the United States marshal
when questioned regbrdlng the matter dis
claimed any knowledge about the strange
ship.

THE SPANISH HEIR.

Perhaps no event in Royal Cir
Giles has aroused the interest of the
entire world for some time as the
arrival of the Spanish baby at the
Royal Court last week. Americans
are not usually interested in the
doings OF nobility, but in the case
of the king and queen of Spain, the
interest in their marriage which
ard owing to the queen being an
English girl, Americans have taken
more than usual interest in. the
event which has just transpired.
The pcculiarities of the Spanish
people and its court are such that
had the young queen presented
them with girl instead of a boy
they would have turned against her
and made the remainder of her life
miserable, though why she should
be held responsible is hard to under
stand, but possibly the Spanish peo-
pie do not care to understand.
The young queen is mother
and the great heart of motherhood
will beat with her in the hopes
that this young son and heir to
the Spanish throne will grow up
strong physically and mentally
eclipsing the station he inherits
and filling his mothers heart
with JOY and pride-that same
mother pride that so many Amer
lean women have in the achieve
ment of worthy sons and daughters

MECCA OF THE DISCONTINUED

Since the action of the leg1sla-
ture in South Dakota extending the
divorce seekers time OF residence
from six months TO one year, the i'll
mated of the country are nov turn
ing their footsteps to Idaho as the
Promised Land.
Idaho according TO report is the
only state in the Union where a
residence of only six months is re-
quired Hence, we may look for
such an inflow of divorce lawyers
whose clients include rich men and
women as TO Guido South Dakota in
her palrniest days. A never ceas3ng
multitude, who for one reason and
another, desire to break that sacred
tie and enter the try again circle.

Order Coal Supply Now.

In order to avert the coal famine
condition that prevailed last win
ter the railroads are sending out the
following circulars urging the peo-
pie TO lay in their supply now be-
fore traffic becomes heavy with the
fall shipment of farm products.
Unless prompt action is taken a
more severe famine viii surely re-
suit than that of the past winter
Following is the letter;
To All Agents.
The solution of the coal shortage
in the winter months is to store it
in the summer. This insures the
miners employment at full time
during the usually light season, and
enables the transportation Compa-
MES to move the coal prior to the
heavy demand upon them for power
and equipment with which to trans
port the crops in the fall.
This condition is generally ac-
seems to be hard matter to pre-
vail upon the dealers and people in
general to take this action
There is every indication that
there will be great shortage of
fuel next fall and winter, the pro-
duction not equalling the increased
demand. This company will assist
at great expense, in relieving the
situation, by storing during the
summer, for engine use, all the
run-of-mine coal the mines can
spare. This will permit a greater
tonnage during the fall and winter
to be devoted to commercial pur-
I poses.
Please impress upon your coal
dealers, also the public generally,
through the newspapers, if possible,
the importance of putting in storage
coal this summer.
If there is any wood that can be
used for fuel within a reasonable
distance from your station, TIE
dealers should be urged to lay in a
supply. We shall be pleased to
make very low rates for this pur-
pose.
Please send me a statement at
the end of each month, commencing
with May, showing the total num-
Der of tons commercial coal re-
ccived at your station. compared
with the same tonnage last year.

SAN FRANCISCO CRITICAL.

The situation at San Francisco is
fast taking on the aspect of a civil
war. The police force is armed
with loaded rifles, the cars are run
under heavy guard and daily come
reports Of skirmishes in which
scores are wounded and several
killed.
1t seems that the present strike
is most untimely. Scarcely re-
covered from the terrible shock Of
one year ago when the remorseless
elements laid the beautiful city
bare and made thousands homeless,
the rioutous element breaks lose
and threatens the progress Of the
city with paralysis.
Admitting that the various labor
organizations are right in their de-
nand for higher wages and on
llldt RO2Aii OlllJ q EllOWl-
edge of local conditions can enable
a correct opinion to be formed
popular sentiment is widespread
that they are unwise in the time
and method selected to press their
demands.
Civil authorities are doing all in
their power to quell the disturbance
and unless their efforts are awarded
with success confidence in the
city's welfare will be considerably
destroyed and eastern capital
frightened from investment in the
city.
Ii is to be hoped that the author
tiles will soon gain cont.ol of the
situation and the second recapitu-
lation of the city go on with re-
newed energy.
