TRAMwAY BROKE DOWN.
Gable Device Used to Lower Grain for
Bench Lands.

With a roar that could be heard for
miles. the Kooskia tramway was com
pletely destroyed here today through
the parting of granulated cable on
the upper terminal and it will be six
weeks before the hundred carloads of
grain at the top of the hill can be
shipped, states the Kooskia cores
pondent of the Lewiston Tribune.
Two men, Doc Mclaughlin and Ches-
ter Talcott narrowly escaped with
their lives as a result of the acci-
dent.
The tramway was built several
years ago at a cost of 100000 and the
present damage Is estimated to be
about $500. When the heavy cable
parted the 32 buckets, half of which
contained seven sacks each, crashed
down the hill for a distance of half a
mile, destroying the lower terminal
derricks, the stationary cable and the
running gears.
Talcott had just entered one of the
buckets to ride to the top when the
accident occurred and succeeded in
saving himself from injury only by
the merest chance. Mclaughlin de-
tected the break imme diately and sue
cessfully lodged the swinging end OF
the broken cable. 1t Is said to be one
of the worst breaks to occur in the
northwest and it will be six weeks be-
tfore 1t can be put in running order
again.

WOLVES KILL LIVESTOCK.
Loss StS,OOO,OOO Yearly in Rocky
Mountain Country.

The extinction of the wolves on the
western cattle ranges would increase
the beef supply of the country from 10
to 20 percent, says the Chicago Chron-
icle. These animals have caused such
losses to the cattle and sheepmen of
the Rocky mountain states that the
United States government recently
made a special investigation of the
habits of wolves for the purpose of aid
ing ranchmen to exterminate them.
The dens have been found without
much difficulty. Contrary to the pop
ular belief, they are not hidden In the
depths of forests, but are on the edge
of wooded tracts and usually near the
crests of low, rolling foothills. For
the truth is that the wolf is such a
selfish, cowardly brute that 1t cares
more for it's own safety than for that
of its family. When its home is invad-
ed it prefers to skulk away and seek
the shelter of the forest or of some
rocky height than stick to its little
ones and, like the lion, fight for them.
Wolf families are good sized, and
a single litter has from five to l3 pups.
They are usually born in caves, among
rocks, in washed-out cavities in bad
lands or in old badger holes in banks
that have been enlarged by the wolves.
Fcrocious Even in Infancy.
Even in their infancy, say the gov
ernment officials who discovered
many of their dens in the course of
their studies of these animals,

When only six weeks old they will

soft mouths will permit, but at this
age they may be safely handled by
one wearing buckskin gloves. There

II is estimated that from 10 to q

which means loss to the country es

The "flat-headed apple tree borer"
