II KooTENA1 county wants to
discourage immigration, good
scheme would be to move the
county seat and thereby increase
the county debt and double tax

in the habit OF moving into a
country where taxes are high,
and everyone knows Kootenai
county's taxes have always been
high enough.

COURT WAS NOT READY.
Pettibone Jury Has Not Yet Received
Its Instructions.

Boise, Idaho, Jan. Judge Wood
was not ready to furnish the attorneys
copies of his instructions to the jury
in the Pettibone case this morning and
an adjournment was ordered until to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock. The jury
was not brought into court and only a
brief session was held Additional re-
quests for instructions were presented
by both the defense and state yester-
day and Judge Wood then asked that
authorities on them be submitted.
The defense asked that the jury be
Instructed that a verdict of guilty could
be.returned on the ground of conspiracy
If the evidence showed that Pettibone
was a member of such conspiracy,
Haywood having already been found
not guilty. The defense maintained, in
asking for this instruction, that the
Haywood verdict was binding on all of
the defendants, insofar as the con-
spiracy charge is concerned.
The prosecution asked that the jury
be instructed that if the defendant had
in his possession evidence which was
presented either by himself or other
wise. the fact may be considered by the
Jury. Attorneys on both sides agreed
to submit authorities on these two pro-
positions at once. 1t was announced by
Judge Wood that night sessions would
be held If necessary to get the case to
the Jury this week. The condition of
Pettibone is improved. but he returned
to the hospital after court adjourned.

HOCH SENDS TELEGRAM.

To hasten the replies of members OF

Governor HOch this morning sent out
a large number of kilograms to mem
bers from whom he has not yet heard,
asking them whether they would, if
called in special session, vote for a

The replies to these kilograms were
coming in by noon, but Governor
Hoch refused to discuss them at all.
1T is very pleasant day." was all
he would say in response to questions.
Today for the first time there is a
general feeling at the state house that
Governor Hoch will not call special
session of the legislature. 1t is be-
lfeved that the members of the legis-
lature have been rather lukewarm OH

there is disposition to discourage

He FEEDS the HUNGRY.
A Chicago Banker Dispenses Food
From a Wagon.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE Malcolm Nc
Dowell coffee wagon was operated
again last night and in two hours 600
hungry men from the lodging houses
of the Eighteenth ward were given
food and drink without the cost of a
cent.
For an hour before the appearance
of Mr.. Mcdowell and his wagon sew
erai hundred men stood in line at the
spot where the welcome restaurant on
wheels was expected to appear and
serve as on New Years eve. Only a
few in the long array had the protec-
ton of overcoats; the great majority
shivered in the biting wind while
awaiting the advent of their banker
friend" as Mcdowell is styled.
ST have received unexpected and
gratifying offers Of financial aid for
this work from more than fifty diff
ferent persons, or organizations"
said Mr.. Mcdowell. 81 believe that
within a week there will be three of
these coffee wagons-on the West,
North, and South sides. Another
probable outcome is that vacant
stores will be hired in the poor dis
tricts from which to feed the numer-
Gus hungry ones among Chicago's
100000 unemployed"

MONEY NOT MORALS.
Expected to Govern in the Racing
Question in New York.

New York. Jan. 2.-Men interested
in racing in New York state express
considerable surprise at the stand
taken by Governor Hughes in his mes
sage to the legislature on the racing
question. 1t is the general opinion
that the governor will be unable to
secure the passage of a bill which
will entirely wipe out betting at race
courses. Many go so far as to blame
the agitation to the poolroom interests
against whom the racing clubs have
waged a bitter warfare and who are
now said to be anxious to get even
with the clubs who have broken up
the poolroom business by driving out
racing altogether.
1t is pointed out by the advocates
of racing that the agricultural asso-
Citations of the state will fight any bill
doing away with betting, as they are
the benefciaries under the per cent
tax levied on the racing clubs. The
revenues from this source have in
creased enormously in the last eight
years, rising from $4,000 in 1895 to
$201, 900 in 1906. In eight years the
eleven racing associations in the state
had paid in this tax s1,494.263.

WANT 1T CHANGED.
Now Bridge Company Will Ask to
Have Viaduct Plans Altered.

A special session of the city council
was called at o'clock this afternoon
at the request of the Topeka Bridge
and Iron works, contractors for the
repair of the East Sixth avenue via
duct.
The bridge company desires to have
the specifications under which it has
been doing the work modified so that
it may lay the flooring on the viaduct
in a manner other than now provided
FORT
Fred Cole, secretary and manager
of the company, endeavored to get
John Rogers, city engineer to change
the specifications this morning, but
the latter refused. Upon that Cole
secured the issuance of a call for a
special session.
1.-The bridge company wants to alter
the specifications SO that they can use
some fourteen foot lumber in place of
the sixteen foot said the city engin-
eer. 1.-The specifications provide that
the first floor shall be laid in horizon
paper with the top floor laid tran
verse. This distributes the stress and
strain in a more satisfactory manner
than if both floors should be laid hor-
izontally. Cole wants to lay the top
floor horizontally, too. He has got
and only sixteen foot lumber can be
placed in a transverse position, so he
can't use this fourteen foot stuff.
That's the reason he wants the spec
ifications changed.
Il refused to change the specifica-
tons, because in the first place, I
have't got any authority to do SO, and
secondly, l am opposed to making any
changes The company has laid part
of the floor in transverse position
and now wants to lay it horizontally
on the approaches where the floor is
subjected to the greatest wear and
tear. If you changes the specifica-
lions you affect the contract and 1
don't consider that good business.
1.-THE bridge company was to order
some more lumber but as yet they
have failed to order another car"
The city has had trouble for almost
a year now with the bridge company
in its efforts to make the contractors
live up to the contract. The yiaduct
should have been completed and
ready for traffic on the first Of July
last, but the repairs are not yet COM
pleted and probably will not be for a
month to come. On two different oc-
casions the city has been on the point
of declaring the contract forfeited
and asking for new bids from other
companies to complete the contract.
The street cars are running across,
and foot passengers can use the via
duct at the present time, but it is
closed to teams This state of affairs
has worked up the people in the Sec
ond ward who use the viaduct to and
from the city to such an extent that
they have been freely threatening
bringing suit for damages.

RACE AROUND THE WORLD.
A Canadian View of the New York to
Paris Motor Contest.

An automobile race around the
world is the topic that is interesting
autom obile manufacturers at present,
and no doubt when the time for the
contest approaches the general public
will find it an absorbing topic Of con-
versation The performance is being
engineered by the New York Times
and LIE Matin of Paris. The latter ar
ranged the celebrated Pekin-to-Paris
race last summer, and the success of
that venture has spurred LIE Matin to
promote the infinitely more difficult
feat of travelling from New York to
Paris by automobile. From Pekin to
Paris the distance is about 5000
miles; from New York to Paris. go
ing westward, is 1900 miles. The
former journey took just two months;
the latter will take half year-and
it may never be finished.
Interested officials in Ottawa and
Washington are busy mapping out
the route for the adventurous auto
mobilists, and an announcement Of
set for the beginning of the race is ex-
pected soon. From New York to
Cape Prince of Wales, on Behring
Strait, the road lies almost exactly
northwest. Chicago will be passed
and then the racers will continue
wan. Thence to Dawson will be
long, hard pull Of more than 1000
miles. Eight hundred miles further
is the cape, and the strait whose east
erly shore is America, and whose
westerly shore is Asia. The gap is
fifty miles, and the adventures hope
to be able to cross on the ice. In
deed, they are sure they can wheel
from one continent to another, and
to make the trip really historic no
L. ~ ~ o1,fo oh &C
are guaranteed to travel the whole
distance on their own power.
The necessity of crossing the strait
on the ice determines the time of
year, for only in certain months, say
January and February, does the ice
form a bridge between Alaska and
Siberia This calculation would indi-
cate a start from New York in the
late fall and journey through the
subarctic regions of North America
in winter. From New York to Prince
of Wales cape is about 5000 miles,
in a moderately straight line; but an
automobile might add another 1000
miles to the distance for the sake of
better going. Difficult though this
part of the journey may be, it will
seem insignificant to the adventures
, az they struggle through Siberia.
From the landing at East Cape, in ST.
beria the road will lie southwest to
Vladivostok, a distance of $500 miles.
1t is probable that most of this stage
of the journey will be made on the
frozen rivers, for the Siberian roads
would be almost impossible Thence
the route leads to Irkutsk, 1900
miles; Moscow, 2,700 miles; Berlin,
1925 miles, and Paris, $50 miles.
The cost of the trip may be estimated
| from the expenses of an automobilist
named L. L. Whitman. who went from
San Francisco to New York by auto
| mobile. He made the journey in a little
more than fifteen days. at a cost Of

GOES TO THE JURY.
Verdict in Caleb Powers Case Is Now
Being Considered.

Georgetown, Ky, Jan. 2.-The jury
in the trial of Caleb Powers, former
secretary of state. charged with COM
plicfty in the murder Of Senator Will
liam Goebel, at the time the latter was
contesting gubernatorial vote, began
the consideration of the verdict today.
Arguments were closed late yesterday
evening and the jurors retired, but de-
cided to postpone their actual consid-
Grafton until today.
Before the jury retired Judge Nor
rfs specially charged the jurors to
maintain the utmost secrecy. Powers
was accompanied by his venerab BILE
mother and his sister. Arthur Goe-
bel brother of the murdered man and
his nephew, William Goebel, sat near
States Attorney Franklin.
Up to this afternoon no verdict has
been reached An impression is grow
ing that the jury may not be able to
agree upon a verdict.
