Warning to Republicans.
I'VE warn Republicans upon the
farm; in the factory in the mine; and
in business circles generally. against
the experiments that are being pro-
posed by our Democratic opponents;
each and every one of them is simply
intended to confuse the political sit
uation and to undermine the founda-
tious upon which the prosperity OF
the country has been reared, in order:
to discredit the Republican party anda
to place the Democrats in power We
believe as firmly today in the protec-
tive tariff of the Republican party as
we ever did.
I'VE believe the time has come
when the tariff law may be revised by
its friends in order 70 regulate such
inequalities as may have arisen or to
correct such abuses as may have crept
in. but we do not waive our devotion
to the protective principle. nor do we
yield in the slightest measure our de-
mand that American industry shall be
a safeguard against unfair foreign
competition.
I'VE believe the tariff should be so

Loses Great Toe

Cecil Parent, of Priest River, will
doubtless be more careful in the future
when handling an axe. On Monday the
young man was handling an axe and at
the same time fooling with his sister,
who desired some wood cut. Parent
made swing with the axe at an imag
mary piece of wood. The axe struck his
foot instead and inflicted dangerous
and painful wound.
The injured man was brought to this
city and was treated by DR.. Boudwin.
It was found necessary to amputate the
great toe, as we'll as most of the inner
side of his foot. The cash in the foot
was about four inches long and about
two inches back from the great toe joint.
Parent resides with his mother at Priest
River and is about 10 years OF age

Will Burn Coal.

The Metaline will not be converted
into an oil burner. Capt. LeClerc de-
cided at the close of navigation last sea-
son to convert the Metaline into an oil
burner, if the plan was practicable. He
visited Portland and decided that it was,
and arrangements were made to convert
the boat. 1t has been decided during
the past few days that, on account OF
the high price of crude oil and the un-
certainty of securing supply at all
times, coal will be the most economical
SO the change will not be made.
Capt. LeClerc is now having the boat
overhauled, and she will be placed in
commission just as soon as the water in
the river becomes high enough to allow
her to be operated.

the long trestle and all other work in
connection with the improvements in
this vicinity will be completed by Sept.
l. They also say that trains will be
running over the bridge and the new
track by that time.
Both of the concrete abutments for
the bridge and one pier have been COM
pleted, and work is being rushed on the
remaining piers, in order that the steel
workers may begin the erection of the
bridge.
Contractor Dahlquist, who has had
charge of the rock work, has completed
the cuts and is now engaged in removing
the debris so that the company may lay
tracks.
Two steam shovels are kept at work
continually removing the earth to
straighten the tracks and furnish ma
terial for the fill.
Four work trains are used in connec-
ton with the steam shovels. Thus far
the crew on the Newport side of the
river has excavated and dumped over
100000 cubic yards of earth. The shovel
gang on the opposite side did not start
until some time after the Newport shovel
and has only handled about 55, 900 yards.
The latter crew is also handicapped
from the fact that they are working in
clay bank, and the ground is so full of
moisture that it is impossible for the
shovel to work we'll.
A slide occurred on Sunday morning
on the Newport side. The sand bank
for quite distance back from the tenn
porary tracks slid down on the shovel
and pushed the tracks and shovel both
out of line. The shovel was out of COM
mission for some time, but it was not
damaged to any appreciable extent.
Luckily nobody was injured.

BUILDING OPERATIONS
Numerous new Structures Planned
to be Built This Year.

G.. L. Gilbert has purchased the Sec
ond lot north of the Office of the New
port Washington Land Company on
Washington avenue. Mr.. Gilbert will
proceed at eonce to erect temporary
structure on the lot, and later in the
season will probably join with Mr..
Kirchans, who owns the adjoining lot,
in the erection of a two-story cement
block business structure. The temper
ary structure will be 28x60 feet in size
and one story high. 1t will have plate
glass 'front.' Lumber for the new build
ing is now being delivered on the lot.
L. Kirchans, the proprietor of the
Central meat market, has decided to
begin work ON his new building adioin-
ing the Newport Washington Land Co.'s
building on Washington avenue. The
building will be one story high and 25x5O
feet in size. 1t will be constructed of
hollow concrete blocks, and the founda-
tlons will be put in heavy enough to
carry second story. The party wall
will be constructed 80 that both Mr..
Kirchans and Mr.. Gilbert, who is erect
ing a temporary frame adjoining, may
use it to build joint block, two stories
high, later in the season.
Carl R. Schotte, architect for j. L.
Bronson, is receiving bids for the alter
ations to the Commercial Hotel build
ing. The Improvements will be made
this season, and as soon as they are
finished the property will be leased by
Spokane hotel man. The improvements
consist of raising the structure one story,
making it three stories high. A one
story addition, 20x40 feet in size, will be
erected on the lot just north of the build
ing. The first floor of the building will
be remodeled and subdivided into three
rooms, one to be used AS the hotel Office
and the other two for business purposes.
The improvements, when finished, will
probably cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000.
The A. R. Tiss residence, near the
Cottage House, is being enlarged and
generally oyerhauled. One new room
will be added to the property.
Contractor Harris has started work on
the Schwab residence on Third street !,
c. Chrysler has purchased three lots ON
the south side and is preparing to erect
a cosy residence.

$15O,OOO to be Spent on Newport
Yards.
West Side of Valley Wants Road

The Idaho & Washington Northern
Railroad will soon begin the construc-
ton OF their Newport yards, and THE
MINER is able to give authentic inlorma-
ton regarding the plans of the company.
From the plans as outlined it is evident
that the mpany will furnish Newport
the best Of terminal facilities, and will
be able to handle in the best manner
possible all traffic originating here and
from the river country. The local yards
are to be built along the same lines as
everything else undertaken by the COM
pany, and are planned to accommodate
largely increased business from this
section Every manufacturing estab-
lishment and industry in the city will be
furnished switching facilities except the
Eagle mill, which is south of the Great
Northern tracks.
The main line will be extended north
ward from its present terminus on Pine
street and Newport avenue down past
the Coulter & Buttons planer and then
past the Fidelity mill. Near Coulter's s
mill switch will leave the main track
and run in northeasterly direction
through the yards formerly occupied by
the McInnis Lumber Co., to point at
the north end of old town, as plated.
The switch will then curve towards the
river and run in front of the steam
laundry, and continue in southerly
direction to the intersection Of First
street and Idaho avenue, From this
point it will run in a southwesterly di-
reetion to the junction with the main
line at Third street and Newport avenue
From a point on the loop near First
street and Idaho avenue, in old town, a
switch will be constructed to the docks
of the Pend.d' Oreille Navigation Co. A
switch will also be built to furnish load
ing facilities for the Lindsey Bros pole
yard, adjoining the Great Northern
tracks.
The passenger depot will be built in
block Is, where the temporary station
is located at present. The freight depot
will be located in block 2, just one block
east of The Miner Office. Large yard s
for handling the business of the com.
pany will be constructed in blocks 2, s
and 9.
At least $l5O,OOO will be expended b,
the company in providing the necessary

GREAT NORTHERN News
'rogress of Work on the Cutoff
and Bridge.
4 Rumor of Change of Route.

There is fairly we'll authenticated
umor that the Great Northern is going
o do things" between Newport and
spokane during the coming year. The
MINER has it that the road, while not
giving Hillyard the go-by entirely, will
not run its through trains through that
town in the near future. Instead the
line will leave Spokane and, instead of
climbing the hill to Hillyard, will skirt
the same on the south and then follow
the low grades in that locality to Col
bert, where they will strike the main
line and the s. F. & n.
At Colbert the line W ill again leave the
old track and strike towards the foot
hills adjacent to Mt. Carlton, and grad
ually raise until they mount the bench
land east of Camden. From there to
Newport the grades will be easy.
1t is understood that the new line
runs somewhere near Tweedie before
striking the main line again.
This is almost the same line that was
selected by the proposed Spokane &
Newport electric line, the principal diff
ference being that the latter survey ran
nearer to Elk.
If the plan is adopted it will cut of
Chattaroy, Milan, Elk, Camden, Scotia
and Penrith from the main line of the
Great Northern. The new line would
be of great benefit to the territory near
Mt. Carlton and between that point and
Newport.
What makes the plan seem reason
able is the statement that the S. F. &
n, now operated as the Great Northern
has given the electric line a 99-yeal
lease on the old right of way of that
road between Spokane and Colbert. Il
is also stated that the portion of the
electric line between those points will be
constructed this year.
1t is barely possible that, after the
improvements have been made by the
Great Northern, the plan is for the elec
trio road to take over the old grade o.
the Great Northern between Colbert anc
this city. An electric line could be
profitably operated in that city.

Big Fly Wheel Bursts.

The fywheel on the engine at Hinkle
Bros sawmill at Priest River burst
and flew in several hundred pieces. The
wheel was six feet in diameter and
weighed over 1900 pounds. The cause
of the accident cannot be ascertained,
as the mill was running as smoothly as
ever when the wheel burst without any
warning, tearing a great hole in the
roof, throwing fragments of steel among
the men and machinery. Great holes
were torn in various portions of the mill.
1T is miraculous that several of the men
were not killed or seriously injured,
Hinkle Bros. expect to have the mill in
operation again within a week or ten
days.-North Idaho News.

terminal facilities at this point. This
will include the cost of the freight and
passenger stations, team, Industrial
warehouse and tranfer tracks and the
construction of tho loop. Work will be
started on the improvements as soon as
the weather will permit, and it is hoped
to have them completed within 80 days.
The extension of the line from this
city down the river has not been Off
cially announced, but there seems little
question as to it's construction. Many
of the settlers on the west side of the
river in the Calispel valley want the
road on their side, if possible to secure
it. They claim that they can furnish a
much larger tonnage and more level
route. They say that there is but little
valley land on the east side of the river
while they have large and very fertile
valley on their side. A committee OF
property owners from the west side are
preparing to 60 to Spirit Lake to confer
with the Messrs Blackwell and see if
they cannot land the prize for their side
of the river. 1t has not been announced
where the new bridge will be constructed
in case the company should favor the
east side. If the west side is chosen no
bridge would be needed until the road
reaches the Metaline country. At that
point it would be easy to obtain suit
able location at much less cost than
near this city.
The "Y" through the Jaynes tract on
the west of the city will be abandoned
and the tract used for residence pur-
poses,
In order to obtain the right-of-way
for the loop and Industrial tracks the
company has recently purchased several
pieces of property in both towns. In
new town they secured the west half OF
block 10 and all of block II, now occu-
pied by the Spirit Valley planer. In
old town the residence of Chas. Storms,
part of the old Burns homestead
owned by Christian Ziegler and the
Mrs Held property was obtained
In this connection it may be stated
that the Commercial Club is in a posi-
ton to furnish free manufacturing
sites along the line of the new road in
this city to any parties who can furnish
tonnage. There are some choice sites
along the main line and loop and we ex-
pect to see some of them utilized before
long as Newport has the best of shipping
facilities.

union PACIFIC AFTER
THE NORTHWESTERN
Hartman May Secure Control
Of Big System.

New York, Sept. 16.-The Wall
Street Summary, discussing the Harri
man properties, says:
One Of the latest rumors has con
cerned itself with the relations be-
tween the Union Pacific and the Chi
cago and Northwestern railway.
The traffic alliance between these
two roads has long been close one
but it is now said that plans have
been perfected by which the Union
Pacific will secure absolute control of
the Northwestern through guarantee
upon the stocks of the latter COM
pany.
The strategic position of the Chi
cago and Northwestern railway sys-
tenn is such tn at it is not believed that
a union of the two roads would come
within the prohibition of control or
merger of parallel and competing
lines, although it is true that an ex-
tension of the Northwestern has been
carried through Northern Nebraska
and the central part of Wyoming on
lines lateral to the extreme eastern
part of the Union Pacific.
The control of the Chicago and
Northwestern is widely scattered, but
it is largely in the hands of prominent
capitalists of the Middle and New
England states and of the Northwest,

Lightning and Thunder.

By counting the number of seconds
in the interval between lightning and
thunder it is possible to figure approx
mately how far from the observer Is
the scene of the storm. Sound travels
LOO feet second, SO multiply the
number Of seconds by LOO, which will
give the distance in feet from the point
where the lightning flashed. For ex-
ample, If ten seconds have elapsed the
distance away will be 1000 feet, or a
little over two miles. It might be add
ed that, as light and lightning travel
so much faster than sound, If one sur
wives after hearing the crashing peal
he can be sure he is SAFE Remem-
brance Of this will dissipate terror.
