Everything was satisfactory and
pleasing to all present, and what
made 1t more so, was the manner in
which the old boys were given the

his neighbor to outdo the other in
hospitality and kindness and the boys
appreciated 1t to a man. | want 10

ONLY ANOTHER DEFEAT.
But, Nevertheless, Fairly Good
Game. e.-Score, 8 to S.

The Inland Pride baseball team of
Spokane was here last Sunday after
noon and defeated the Rathdrum
team by a score OF to S. Although
the score was in favor of the visitors,
it was not a one. sided game; 10 fact,
the teams seemed TO be well matched,
at least in fielding and batting and 10
general team work. Errors were
plentiful, but there were enough good
plays to keep up interest.
Spokane went to bat first, Lassell
scoring and Attleson making a home
run. Two men went down, then the
third, leaving two men on bases.
Rathdrum failed to score, only sue.
ceeding in getting man as far as
second base. In the second the
visitors got two more runs, the local
team getting four, thus tying the
score. In the third Spokane secured
another talley and held the lead the
rest of the game. In each inning
Rathdrum did not fail to get one or
more men on bases. but not so With
the visitors: in the seventh and eighth
the latter did not succeed in getting
a safe hit, the batters going down IN
one, two. three order, struck out or
caught out before reaching first base.
In the eighth three consecutive. bat
ters were put out by caught 6ys in
left and center field. In the ninth
they only got one man as far as first
base.

BETTER TRANSPORTATION,
Electric Road Would Benefit. =
Make Lakes Summer Resorts

The Occur d'Alene Press Of last
Saturday published the following:
A report from the Spirit and Fish
lake country. states that the Idaho &
Washington Northern railroad is
pushing things and will be extended
to Spokane.
The road will pass through the
north end of Rathdrum and run un-
der the Northern Pacific track west Of
towa. When the crew left Rathdrum
working west it was making he ldway
at the rate of three miles per day
1t is now distinctly asserted that
from Spirit lake west the road will be
an elertric line.
While 1t was thought at first that
the road was only interested 10 hand
ling timber and logs, yet as time de-
velOps the road is assuming more and
more the conditions and requirements
of an electric line 10 addition to the
steam. Therefore the timber inter-
ests will not be the only support.
Although the country through
which the road passes is heavily COW
cred with flr, cedar, white and yell
low pine, yet Spirit and Fish lakes
will be great summer resorts for Spo-
kane people which will increase the
business OF the road very materially.
The right Of way has been secured
much Of the distance and the clear
ing of 1t has progressed to within a
few miles of Fish lake, all the heavy
timber having been removed, leaving
short distance of open country to
clear.
The electric feature aud extension
assures Rathdrum of better trans
portation facilities and means that
the town now being constructed at
the outlet on Spirit lake will reach a
good population. 1t adds one more
interurban line to the system radiat-
ing from Spokane.

No More Liquor for Him.

Editor of the Tribune:-I would
like to say few words about the
G. A. R.-W. r. c. Encampment
OF last week. The visiting COM
rades were much surprised the way
they were received and entertained
by the G. A. r. and w. r. c. and
good citizens of Rathdrum; and l
was surprised, myself, for l have
attended good many state, and
several national encampments and
| never attended one but what
more or less of the boys drank
more than they would eat. But
here it was the reverse. was
talking with comrade about the
war when another comrade came
up and said to him: "How are you,
Dad2" and he SAID, 81 do not re-
member you; where did you know
me?"
"In Colfax." was the reply.
"How long ago?"
"About IA years ago."
"Well," said he, Il was bum
then and was cleaning spittoons
and burning drinks, but thank God
there has not been one drop ol
liquor of any kind gone down
my throat in the last IL years and
there never will again as long as
live"
Perhaps there were more tha,
had made the same resolution or il
might have been the way they were
fed while they were here for die
not see one that showed any signs
OF drinking. Every one said they
never were SO royalty entertained
in their lives and that they coule
not find words to express thei
feelings of gratitude to the G. A
R., w. r. c. and the good citizen.
Of Rathdrum for the way they wer.
entertained and taken care of
One comrade said in a speech il
our hall, while waiting for a com
mittee that had gone to the W. R
| c., that even the little boys ant
girls on the sidewalk, when the,
would meet US, would step asid,
as politely as if they were traine'
to it, and it beat all he ever saw
They all joined in saying they neve
would forget the three days spen
in Rathdrum.

ROAD THROUGH RATHDRUM
|. ( W. N. Route is Chosen and Right
Of Way Assured.
BLACKWELL HERE, TUESDAY
Citizens Will See About Securing
Right of Way.

Right of Way.
That the Idaho & Washington
Northern railroad will pass through
Rathdrum is now practically a
foregone conclusion. AT meet
ing of citizens, held in c. L. Heit-
mans Office Tuesday afternoon
Mr.. F. A. Blackwell, president OF
the road, was present and pointed
out the route through town for
which he wished to secure Co.
foot right of way. Mr.. Blackwell
stated frankly that he did not want
the citizens to give him the right
OF way or contribute cent of
money for it; all he asked was that
he be permitted to buy it at fair
value. In other words he inti-
mated that he did not want to be
"held up" The route desired
crosses A. w. Posts mill and mill
pond, James Peters garden, w. ].
Ford's residence property, a small
piece Of E. Marshall's place, B.
Gaslon's residence, r. F. Dyer's
residence, A T. Gaston's property,
DR.. Wenz's new cottage, occupied
by c. L. Ham, John Woolery's
barn, S. L. Farnsworth's property,
the county poor farm, and Rein
hart Bros. mill site. The route
also takes part Of the Hayes pro-
perty and the home place Of R.
c. Borthwick. The road will cross
the Northern Pacific under the
track at the second culvert just
west of town. On the east the
road will follow the creek into
town from the foot of Fish lake,
the only place it will touch that
lake. Toward Spirit lake it
swings south of the hills and the
little round mountain.
The citizens assured Mr.. Black
we'll that they were confident the
! right of way could be secured at
reasonable cost. A committee
consisting of Messrs A. Cook, T.
l.. Quarles and DR.. Wenz was
selected and at once proceeded to
visit the property owners affected
and secure options for the right ol
way.
Mr.. Blackwell proposes to put
| his depot in the neighborhood ol
R. F. Dyer's residence property.
F. A. Blackwell, president ol
the Idaho & Washington Northern
railroad, said at Coeur d'Alene last
Sunday that work was progressing
satisfactorily in the construction O
the new road. His surveying
crews are busy around Rathdrun
endeavoring to find a good route
1t is thought the road will form thu
letter S near Fish lake to obtain +;
good grade and only touch the lak'
at its outlet, following the creel
into Rathdr"m. Mr.. Blackwell
would not confirm the report tha
/ a surveying crew was working ives
from Rathdrum.
He stated a small mill for tie
was being built near the "toe" o
outlet, of Spirit lake, near tn
point where the large mill will b
constructed.

ELECTRIC ROADS
In THE WEST

In a letter 70 the Herald, Mr.. o. p
Rltledge. formerly of Columbia but
now OF 81. Louis. has the following TO
say in regard 10 the benefits Of cleo
trio railways:
Il am truly glad that Columbia is
entering upon an era OF prosperity,
greater. trust. than ever before in
her history. The electric line from
Nashville will be a great benefit to all
that section of country through which
1t runs, and. believe will be specially
beneficial to Columbia.
The great Mckinley system of cleo
trio lines has just succeeded in eect-
ing an entrance into St. Louis. This
is a system OF electric railroad that
is something over 500 miles in length,
and is sufficiently powerful to be
competitor with the steam roads In
the matter of express, freight and
passenger.trafic We will soon have
direct line between st. Louis and
Chicago, and it is my hope that the
line operating from Nashville will be
extended, in the course of time. to-
ward st. Louis, thus connecting with
the Mckinley system.
1T appears TO me mat the country
will be greatly developed when we
have system of rapid and cheap COM
