Bay State Politics.
The fact that Ex-Governor William
L. Douglas of Massachusetts. has an
nounced his willingness to accept a
Democratic nomination for governor
next fall undoubtedly indicates that he
believes he can be elected, and his
faith seems to be cheering the old Bay
State Democrats amazingly. 1t will
be remembered. that In 1904, while
Colonel Roosevelt carried Massachu-
sets by nearly 100000 majority, Doug
las carried it by about 10000. In 1905
and 1906 he declined to be candidate
for the gubernatorial nomination. Gov
ernor Curtis Guild, Jr., who is now
serving his second term and who is
said to covet the Republican vice pres
idential nomination, will unqucstiona-
bly, be nominated for third guberna-
torial term, as that is the habit In
Massachusetts. So that If Douglas
md Guild make, the race the prize will
be not only the governorship, but a
vice presidential nomination also. for
If Douglas wins in the fill the chances
are that he can have the Democratic
vice presidential nomination by saying
that he will accept 1t, and If Guild
loses the governorship lie will be out Of
the running for tho vice presidential
nomination.

treasury in the United States District
Court on a charge of having embez-
zeled $61,5O0 of Government funds.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-The me-

made especially by Gen. Charles H.

The Ohio veteran raid eloquent trib-

TOR the space of minute there
was silence in the room; then
outside in the still night three
clocks simultaneously chimed
n. and their announcement was taken
up and echoed by half dozen others,
loud and faint, hoarse and resonant
for all through the hours OF darkness
the neighborhood of Fleet street Is
alive with chimes.
Chilcote, startled by the jangle, rose
from his seat. Then, as II driven by
an uncomfortable impulse, he spoke
again.
"You probably think am mad he
began.
Loder took his pipe out of his mouth.
81 am not so presumptuous," ne said
quietly.
For a space the other eyed him 81
ientiy, as If trying TO gauge ais

INTO speech.
"Look here" he said. 81 came to-
night to make proposition. When

easy haste of his speech his words
broke off almost unintelligibly.
Involuntary Loder lifted his head
TO retort. but Chilcote put up his hand.
His face was set with the obstinate
determination that weak men some
times exhibit.
Before l begin want to say that

companion with his restless glance

Again Loder essayed to speak, but
again he put up his hand.

There was strained pause, then
again Loder lifted his head
''Morphia? he said very quietly.
ChIlcote wheeled around with
scared gesture. "How did you know
that?" he asked sharply.
The other smiled. ut wasn't guess

well, perhaps one gets overobservant

Chilcote collapsed into his former
seat and passed his handkerchief
across his forehead.
Loder watched him for space Then
he spoke. why don't you pull upY'

Short Line Down Payette.

The Statesman of Monday, says:
1t develops that the engineering
party now working between Mora
and Boise is under instructions to
continue the survey to the Payette
at or near Emmett. That would in
dicate the probability of a line being
built to the Payette valley
and down that to a junction with
the present line. That would cut
off the big bend caused by crossing
into Oregon, making line from
Mora to Payette about the same
lenth as that over which trains
are now running. The engineers
are about half way between Mora
and Boise, Their line starts about
two miles east of the former place.
1t is understood they have been
finding very satisfactory line with
good grades.

Mysterious Actions Of ! sur-

With in the past 80 daysa party oi
surveyors have been running lnes
along the edge Of the hills that sur.
round this city and up Sand Hollow
on the Pearl road. They have
worked only on moonlight nights
and have been very mysterious and
sercretive in all their movements.
Theyfare believed to be in the en-
ploy Of the San Francisco and Butte
road.
Coincident with the actions Of
these surveyors is the options being
secured on ianches along the Payette
river, Several weeks ago The
Index noted the purchase Of the old
Marsh & Ireton ranch from DR..
Platt. Last week an option wss Sc
cured on the Dechambeah ranch
few miles above Horseshoe Bend
and about IL miles from Marsh.
At nearly the same distance farther
up the river another ranch has been
secured and it Is stated seryeral
others still farther north in Garden
valley have been bargained for.
The fact that these farms are nicely
located for townsites and being Sc
lected at suitable distances apart,
has given rise to the theory that
railroad company is back of the
party securing the options.
