Obituary..

1908. just as the sun was sinking
behind the western hills, Harlsnd
b. Lambertson passed from this
life to that beyond the tomb. The
sad accident which terminated in
his death so Instantly was a shock
to the entire community.
On Saturday morning he left
home with his father TO haul a
load OF lumber. When returning
and about two miles from home
at the foot of hill, Mr. Lambert
son said he would walk up the
hill and rough lock the wagon to
20 down the other side and then
get on and drive down the hill HIM
self. Harland was sitting on the
front of the load with his feet
hanging over and 10 trying to
draw himself farther back on the
load in more secure position. he
let go OF the lines with one hand
and at that instant the team
jumped and became unmanage-
able on account of the icy road.
II was impossible for Mr.. Lam
bertson to lend any assistance
whatever. as nc was off the load.
so he called to his son TO keep
them in the road and let them GO.
The wagon slid around on the ice
and upset. One can better imag
inc than describe the feelings OF
that fond father when he beheld
his son buried under that load OF
lumber with Just his head ana
shoulders uncovered. There was
Just one smothefed groan. but no
answer 10 the repeated calls OF
the father. Mr.. Lamberison
seized an AK they had and s-v-
cred one OF the chains which
bound the lumber. but could not
sever the other though he tried
with all his strength Tor several
minutes. Then he tried TO dig
the dirt away so as to remove the
body. but failing III that also, he
mounted one OF the horses and
rode to the Carvel ranch. Mrs.
Carvcl mt her son to the Carr
and Brown ranches and securing
assistance they soon returned and
removed the body and took it
home. Mr.. Lambertson going a
little in advance to break the ter
riblc news to the waiting ones at
home. When his mother last
looked at him that morning he
had a smile on his face and was
waving goodbye" to the chill
dren as they watched him going
away. His welcome home" was
to his Fathers house of many
mansions"
The funeral services were held
Monday afternoon at two o'clock
from the home. conducted by
Rev. Smith. assisted by DIR. Dixon
and a choir from town. His
teachers testimony that Harland
was a "clean boy on the play
ground" is the best euology one
could offer, for a good name is
far above riches and a clean. pure
life greatly to be desired. Friends
covered the casket with beautiful
flowers taken from choice house
plants. A large procession ac-
companied the remains to the
cemetery where his school class
and the pail bearers. consisting of
his school mates. dropped their
floral offerings down on the low
cred casket and Harland was at
rest by the side of his brother. He

An Indiana travelling man told
story the other day of an Incl

smoking car OF an express train
reading his paper when a man
rushed in from the car behind the
smoker, evidently IN great agita-
ton, and said: Has anybody in
this car any whiskey, A woman
in the car behind has faintedi"
Instantly dozens OF TASKS were
produced. The man who had
asked for it picked out the largest
one. drew the cork. and put the
bottle to his lips. With a long

most Of their support here was lost
on that account, and the charge of
fraud now filed against them tends
to confirm the rumors. The institu-

TAFT SAILS FOR COLON
Momentous Questions to be Probed
by Secretary.

WASHINGTON, May Secretary
Taft left for Charleston, s. O., where
he will today embark on the United
States cruiser Prairie and proceed to
Colon to investigate several impor-
tant questions connected with the
construction of the Panama canal
and the relations between the United
States and the republic OF Panama,
and also the boundary dispute be-
tween Panama and Colombia. The
secretary was accompanied by Rich
ard II. Rogers, general counsel of the
canal commission; Wendell M. Misch-
Ter, his stenographer, and a messen-
ger.
The Prairie will have on board a
large draft of blueAckets who are to
join the Atlantic fleet at San Fran
cisco. The Prairie will be at the dis
posal of the secretary of war and
will bring him back to the United
States by a route to be selected by
him, SO that 1t is possible the secre-
tary may find 1t expedient to visit
San Juan or Havana, or both, on his
way back to the United States. The
present expectation Is that the Sec
rotary will return to this country
possibly as early as May 20, and may
land at Pensacola, Fla.

ALASKAN DELEGATES
Territorial Convention VIII Instruct

Territorial Convention VIII Instruct
For Taft.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-Two dele
gates to represent the republicans of
Alaska In the Chicago convention will
be elected at a territorial convention
to be held in Ketchikan tomorrow.
Advices from the land of snow and
gold, state that the delegation will
probably be pledged to Secretary
Taft.
Six delegates had already been
elected when the republican national
committee met in Washington last
December but by the terms of the
call they were declared to have been
prematurely chosen. and Alaska was
told that no delegate from that ter
ritory would be seated at the conven-
tion until others were named. The
call further stipulated that only two
would be seated instead of six.
As the six delegates had been in
structed to vote for Secretary Taft
their rejection was received with iub-
llatlon by the opponents of the Sec
rotary, who saw loss of four votes
to him and the possibility that Alaska
Coeur d'Alene evening press. (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho) 1907-1929, 1908-05-01

could not elect her allotted two dele
gates in time to be represented at the
convention. They realized that an
election In Alaska Is much different
and more difficult matter than short
walk to the polls in the, United States,
and some hope was expressed that,
having once gone on record, the
Alaskans would be content to forgo
another election. But in this hope
they did not reckon on the determin-
alton of the Alaskans to exercise their
rights of the ballot and the calibre of
Thomas Gale, the territorial delegate
in congress, who holds strong views
as to the interest his people should
take in national politics. Mr.. Gale
believes that the Alaskans prize the
right of ballot more highly than any
other Americans, and that the two
new delegates will be instructed for
Secretary Taft unless a light vote
somewhat changes the situation. Mr..
Gale is a Vermonter by birth, but has
lived in Alaska ten years and is serv-
ing his first term in congress. He
was elected on a non-partisan ticket,
although he was more closely allied
with the republicans than the demo-
Gratis, and is listed in the former
column.

Nav stop at New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS, May 1.-One of
the most important concessions ever
granted by the railroads to a south
ern city becomes effective today,
whereby To-day stopovers will be
allowed by all east and west lines at
New Orleans. Nearly 100000 people
pass through New Orleans annually,
and it is believed that large ma
iority will take advantage of the
stop-over privilege. The concession
is due to the total elimination of

BIG GUNS DID NOT DISABLE
MOhlTOR FLORIDA WtTHSTANDS
TERRIFIC BoMsARDMENT
Fired at Short Range-Navy Test at
Hampton Roads Proves Resisting
Powers of Armor.

Old Point Comfort, Va.-The big
gest naval gun, the heaviest pro
jectile and the highest explosive
known, combined with close range and
deadly aim, were allowed to work
their full havoc on the turret plate of
the monitor Florida in Hampton
Roads on Wednesday. The result is
declared to be victory for turret
construction and this Notwithstanding
the 11-inch hardened steel plate was
blackened broken, the seams OF the
turret sprung and the rivets and
screws loosened and twisted.
1t was not five minutes after the
terrible impact that the finely bal
anced mechanism of the turret was
being worked with ease and the ~
inch gun on the left side was trained
at will. Inside the turret where stand
the gunners and gun crew the havoc
was much less apparent than from the
outside. Examination showed that of
the many delicately adjusted instru-
ments for fire control, sighting and
operating the turret, few IL any we're
out OF working order.
Then followed a futile attempt to
destroy the newly designed fighting
mast erected on the stern of the Flor
ida. After five shots from the Arkan-
sas' guns had ripping through it, The
mast still stood firm
The Florida had been in the hands
of experts for some time. Striking
in her appearance was the leaning
tower" on her stern, the woven pipe
military mast, resembling a huge
waste paper basket. On top of its 125
feet of height was a broad platform.
Just 342 yards from the Florida lay
her sister ship, the Arkansas.
The turret of the Florida was swung
around so that her guns and those of
the Arkansas looked squarely at each
other. More than an hour of gun
training followed before a 12.inch
projectile was fired.
1t broke through the turret plate
from the gun port to the edge just
above and just below where the shell
struck. The broken piece was driven
Into the turret several inches, but not
the thickness of the plate, SO that no
hole was actually made.
