doubtful Of Mr.. CosgrCve will ever be

Irrespective of party, the feeling N
the city is one of deep regret over the
serious illness of the governor elect
As he has Bright's disease it is con-
Ceded that he can never recover, Dut
hope is expressed that he may live long
enough to take the office to which he
has been chosen by the people Of the
state. 1t is everywhere admitted thaI
of all the men who have been elected
to the Office of governor of this state.
Mr. COSgrOve has earned the place ana
that his inauguration would greatly
please the people of the state irrespec-
tive of party fealty.
Local lawyers say that in the event
of MI CosgrOve's death before his IN
auguratiOn, the only way the state can
be saved of four years more Or Mead
Will be for the legislature to pass an
act calling q special election, and thlS
plan may be followed. Even if it is

Bar Ringers

MOSCOW, Ida, Nov. 10.-The fac
ulty committee of the university of
Idaho will protest against four star
players OF Washington state college
football team, claiming them ring
ers." The men are Hahn, Bryan, Cave
and Cherry and Idaho claims they must
not play. The loss to Pullman will be
great and without them the college
cannot hope to win the Pullman Idaho
game.
Without them, Idaho stands a good
chance of winning the big game.
Idaho asks that the eligibility of the
four men be proven before the game.
Cave, Hahn and Bryan are disqualified
for playing baseball and Cherry on the
four year rule. Cave was cleared Of
the charges early in the fall and Hahn
and Bryan had their cases tried before
the Seattle game and were declared ell

men ineligible and they will be out of
the Pullman game. Idaho claims 10

a communicating individual entered
the lobby of the Dacres hotel yestcr-
day evening, and after purchasing and
lightinE a fragrant Havana stepped
to the desk and attached his name to
the book, while the clerk stood ex-
pectantly waiting instructions as to
the nature of room desired.
Wholly at ease. and not recognizing
the attitude of the man behind the
counter. the traveller strol.ed leisurely
over to the couch in the reading room
and Derused the evening paper. Then
bethinking himself of a desire to fall
into the arms of Morpheus, he again
sidled up TO the desk and asked for Il
room.
Yes, sir" said Leo, glancing through
the list of unoccupied rooms. DO you
want a room with bath?"
With a loOk that would have been
direful in effect had The cIrel observed

full height, cheWed diligently at the

Naval experts are now generally
agreed that the Dreadnought type is
the battleship of the future and that
the nation with the largest and most
efficient fleet of these monsters will
control the world. Although late in

more will be necessary to cope with

Germany is now building seven Of
these Dreadnoughts. each with an ar

Say Col Famine
Is Inevitable

CHICAGO, Nov. 10.-According to
the declaration of railroad freight
officials another coal famine is in
evitable in the northwest during the
coming winter. and there is no way to
prevent it. They base their opinion
upon the lack of preparedness at this
time for strenuous conditions.
The fault is not with the railroads.
because for months they have been
urging dealers to put in d good supply
of fuel and not take the chances they
have on former occasions, which sub
jected them to great deprivation and
suffering because the railroads were
blocked with snow and unable to afford
relief. A year or two ago the dealers
were accused of having deliberately
failed to order q large supply in order
that they might put up their prices
with scarcity as an excuse for so do
ing.
In response to the great efforts of
the railroads during the past summer
to induce dealers to make a large and
early storage. they insist that they are
without facilities to do so, and have
said also that they did not care to take
the risk of storing coal on the, ground
They do not appear to be alarmed by
the possibility of famine, and believe
that whatever extra storage is required
should be provided by the railroads.
The latter have. therefore, given at
tention solely to storing their own sup
ply. ahead of consumption. 1t is stated
that less than 100000 tons have
been shipped from the Pittsburg dis
trict to the Great Lakes this year. as
against 100000 to 100000 in other
seasons.
