THE SNOW AND RAINSTORM
Four Days of Rough Siege
For the Stages.

Not for many years have the storms
so seriously impeded travel or shut off
all manner of traffic with our camps as
for the past week. last Friday heavy
wet snow began falling and kept on
continuously until Monday, when it
gradually changed to a steady, slightly
warmer rainfall, which kept up until
Tuesday night. With almost two feet
of heavy wet snow on the roads they
became practically impossible for
teams The stages got over the sum
nit all right Saturday and Sunday, with
the mails, but. on Saturday, swamped
and had to leave big load of trunks
near New York summit, and when men
and teams went out TO get them the
next day, four horses got off the grade
and it took gang Of men with shovels,
working nearly all day, to rescue them

Eagle, along which the stage road runs,
became raging torrent, washed out
some of the bridges and did a good deal
of damage to the roadway during Mon
day The stages could not get over it,
aud the mails were not brought in until
Wednesday. But the weather changed
Tuesday night, and Wednesday was
beautiful clear sunshine once more.

Two OF the bills providing for the Gre

House and are now under consideration
in the Senate. These are to provide
for the creation of Bonner county, from
North Kootenai, with county seat at
Sand Point Professionally, aud of Twin
Falls county, from Cassia, with county
ceat at Twin Falls. 1t was at first sup
posed that the Senate would take inn
mediate action on THESE bills, but for
some unexplained reason the upper
House of the Legislature prefers to
make haste slowly in the consideration
of all House measures. The bills will
both pass the Senate without amend
ment, although final action may be de-
layed several days.

ining witnesses. The most utter rout
he ever witnessed was in the case OF
a young lawyer defending man
against a charge Of burglary. The
chief witness, married woman, said
the accused came into her room about
two o'clock in the morning. She saw
the intruder, but acknowledged that
she could not see her husband. The
young lawyer shot a side glance at
the jury and then Numbered: Now
madam, please explain to us all how
it was that you could see the prisoner
and yet could not see your husband?'

Alaska is an interesting region. In
area she is twice as large as Texas,
with California thrown in, but her
resident white population numbers
only about 10000, though in summer
she has from 10000 to 10000 more
whites. In fur, fish and minerals she
is rich. Since her annexation she has
furnished s5O,0OO000 Of furs, s60,000,-
600 Of fish, and S70,000,000 of miner
ais, chiefly gold and silver. Her out
put Of gold, which was 100000 in
1904. was s16,000,O00 in 1905 and will
be fully $26,000,00O in 1906. In gold
production Alaska has far passed the
Klondike and the rest of the Can

Klondike and general Canadian coun-
try produced from $20,000,000 to $685.
100000 of gold a year, but this had

that he sat down under an inviting
tree and fell asleep, while Joe re-

to bring with him, tried 10 take

movements apparently disconnected
Joe, and the woods bear took advan-
take Of this by making a sudden
lunge, throwing Joe over, and seem
ing to disable him for a moment.
Then the woods bear turned his at
tention TO Mr. Monteth, and. with
clumsy swiftness, caught him before
he could use his gun.
But Joe had recovered and en-
pioyed the same tactics his assailant
had successfully tried on him. The
