crash. Looking out, he saw that he
was in the dark cave and he thought
that in the dark he had probably run
off the track
You said nothing before about a
track said Ned"
Il supposed you had sense enough
to know that a street car ran on a
track. and sometimes off. Well, the
whale opened his mouth and the car
backed out. The whale was so bad
ly hurt that he made up his mind to
move to another part of the lake,
where the strange fish could never
come again. So he called a moving
van and has his goods taken-''
Moving van?' queried Ned.
why, yes. How did you expect
him to move? Well, the man never
stopped hacking his car until he got
to shore, chen he reported to the
stockholders that the electric line
would have to be lighted the entire
distance with arc lamps to make it
safe. AS this would take all the divi-
dends for 80 years, the stockholders
sold out to a captain of industry,
who watered the stock with lake
water and made s100,0OO,000 out of
it In Is minutes"

ESCAPED HIcHslNDERs

Jack Smith, the Chinese inter-
prefer, who disappeared several
weeks ago and whom it was be-
lieved had been done away with
by highbinders, is among the liv-
ing. Smith went from here to
Portland. While there he received
word that his departure was a
mystery.
He has started a painting bust
ness in Occur d'Alene City, Idaho.
Since the report of the disap-
pearance, Bong Que, the wealthy
Chinese owner of business blocks,
close personal friend of Smith,
spent great deal of money trying
to locate him.
Smith admitted last night that
attempts have been made to take
his life. He has escaped high
binder bullets more than once in
San Francisco, but since the earth
quake believes that all his Chinese
enemies have forgotten him, as the
mighty "tongs" have become dis
organized in this country. Smith
was for several years In the i'm
migration service in San Francisco
and incurred the enmity of some Of
the most powerful Chinese.

COMMON USER on
TELEPHONE LINES

HELENA, July 1S.-A decision
applying the common user prin-
ciple to telephone lines has been
handed down by Judge Hunt in the
federal court in an action brought
by an independent mutual COM
pany against the Bell company.
The court holds that the latter
company cannot refuse to make
connections with the other COM
pany although they are competing
lines if reasonable compensation is
paid. By this decision the mutual
secures connection with the other
system for it's patrons. A com.
mission named by the court will
adjust the rate Of charges govern

THE STREET CAR AND THE
WHALE,

"a Fairy Tale With Modern Attach
menrS)
"Once upon a time there was man
who wanted to go TO the bottom of
Lake Erie" said Uncle John. He
had no subraine boat, so he bought
a street car, put paddle wheels on
the axles, sat where he could look
out of the windows and started down
under the water.
There was a big whale living in
the deepest part of the Lake.
How did he get from the ocean,
asked Ned
Swan up the St Lawrence"
Past Niagara Fatls?'
Il never thought to ask him. Well
this whale was as b,g as a car house
that would hold hundred cars. He
was pretty nearly AL stomach-like
men, your Aunt Martha would say
His mouth was big enough for
street cars to go in at once. His
eyes were electric lights
Did he have a dynamo inside of
him to run the llghts?" asked Ned.
"Of course not, you foolish boy.
Instead of having machinery running
all the time he kept his tail going
back and forth and that made the
electricity"
did he have wires running from
his tail to his eyes to conduct the
electricity"
mo. it ran up his spinal column"
81 don't see how it could do that?'
you sit on a live wire some day,
Ned, and you'll find out. Well,
some days this whale was lazy, then
he switched the electricity to his
jaws and worked them with the
power. You see, he had so big a
stomach that 1t vas a terrific job
to chew up food enough to fill it.
1.-The man was riding along peace
fully when ali of sudden he saw a
large dark place right in front of the
car. He didn't worry, for some parts
of the bottom are darker than 9TH
ers, especially those parts where
they run large electric plants, like
the whales and don't have smoke
consumers. The man thought his
car would run through the dark place
in minute or two. Now, the whale
had seen in the distance a peculiar
fish coming his way. Here's some
good eating he murmured"
Can whales murmur?" asked Ned
Certainly. That's the only way
they talk. You never heard one yell.
did you? Well. this whale just kept
his mouth open. As the car shot
into his mouth, the whale thought,
That's pretty big, mouthful; I'll
bite II into halves With that he
brought his jaws together with great
force. using both his muscles and
the electric power. His teeth, which
were made of telegraph poles"
II should think wooden teeth
would rot In the WATER remarked
Ned.
ANY teeth will rot anywhere II
care IL not taken OF them, but this
whale brushes his teeth every day.
Well. as the teeth struck the car
they bent almost double and then

T he Navy.

Concerning the navy the president
says:
In my Judgment, We should this
year provide for four batteships. But
1t Is idle to build battleships unless. in
addition to providing the men and the
means for thorough training. we pro-
vide the auxllIarics for them-unless
we provide docks. the cOaling stations,
the GOLFERS and supply ships that they
need. We are extremely deficient in
coaling stations and docks on the Pa
cihc. and this deficiency should not
longer be permitted to exist Plenty
of torpedo boats and destroyerS should
he built. Both on the Atlantic and Pa
cific coasts Notifications Of the best
type should he provided for all our
greatest harbors.
Until our battle feet is much larger
than at present it should never be split
into detachments so far apart that they
could not in event OF emergency be
speedily united. Our coast line is on
the Pacific just rs much as on the At
lantic. The battle fleet should now
and then be moved to the Pacific Just
as at other times It should be kept in
the Atlantic. When the isthmian canal
is built the transit OF the battle feet
from one ocean TO the other will be
comparatively easy. Until it is built
| earnestly hope that the battle feet
will be thus shifted between the two
oceans every year or two. The battle
fleet Is about starting by the strait OF
Magellan to visit the Pacific coast.
Sixteen battleships are going under the
command of Rear Admiral Evans, while
eight armored cruisers and two other
battleships will meet him In San Fran
cisco. whittier certain torpedo destroy
ers are also going. No fleet of such
size has ever made such voyage. and
it will be of very great educational use
