Not a League Game Was

Weather conditions were even w0rsa

On Wednesday two games were pulled
of and that was bad enough but yester-

DOWN SNAKE IN A SCOW.
Engineers for Pittsburg Railroad
Company Make PerilOus Voyage.
Item from Lewiston says:

An item from Lewiston says:
After a tedious trip of 23 days
down the Salmon and Snake rivers. a
party of engineers, headed by T. II.
Bacon, have arrived in Lewiston in
a low, flat-bottomed scow which they
built at salmon City. While ostensi-
bly, employed by the Pittsburg-Gil-
more railway company the party is
believed to be surveying a route for
the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad
company. M Bacon declined to con-
firm or deny this rumor.
Mr.. Bacon frankly stated that the
work was being done for The Pitts
burg company, but would not disclose
it's hackers, although he stated it was
his belief that the only transcontinen-
tai railroad likely to build through
Lewiston would be the Chicago &
Northwestern.
1t has been reported that this com
pany was seeking an outlet to the
coast from its present western term
mus at Lander Wyo. A line has been
surveyed along the southern boundary
of Yellowstone park. and an easy
grade is said to have been discovered
across the Bitter Roots, which will
bring the road down into the Salmon
basin. Following a water grade Lew
iston is reached through the Snake
river canyon. From here it IS thought
the line will strike westward to a
point on the North Coast railroad,
which is believed to be a Northwest
ern project.
The engineers built the scow, which
is a peculiar looking craft "a fee,
long, five feet wide, with a draft of
cnly three feet. The boat was well
stocked with provisions, and the jour
ney was made slowly, as measure.

the route.

oThis state is not in bondage to the

creases in the bank deposits through

drawing on this crop wealth to some

"There is every reason to believe
that the coming crop will be even
bigger than the last, when 63OOO,OOO
bushels of wheat were harvested In
the three states. Unless unexpected
unfavorable climatic conditions arise,
it is thought that this years crop will
exceed this figure by 10, and perhaps

OBS. editors and other leaders Of the
race met here today in what is called
a national convention" and will go
on record as opposing President
Roosevelts administration and Secre-
tary Tafts candidacy for the presi-
deacy. The leaders in the movement
are Bishop Alexander Walters Of the
African Methodist Zion church; the
Rev DR.. William H. Scott, president
Of the Negro Suffrage League, and
William Monroe Trotter, president Of
the New England Constitution and
Suffrage League.
President Roosevelt's actions are
denounced as "a flagrant collusion
between a Republican president and
the southern Democrats" Among
the denunciatory statements of the
leaders in today's convention are the
following:
"The positive and notorious hostile
attitude of the government Of our re-
public toward it's citizens of color un-
der the present Republican admins
tration and the approach Of the party
nomination conventions in the year
1908 produce a crisis for one-eighth
Of the citizenship Of these United
States Of America
The open alliance between the
president and the nullifiers of the
constitution in the south constitutes
the most flagrant collusion between
a Republican president and the south
ern Democrats since the emancipa-
tion Of the American slaves As years
ago, save in the case of Andrew john
son at the close Of the war or of
Rutherford B. Hayes at the close of
reconstruction.

SMALLPOX FROM CORPSES.
Contagion Spread by Exhumed BOdic

To prevent any danger which might
result from the handling of the two
bodies recently found at Garden City
heights, Coroner George MacMartin
will superlntend the work of the
chain gang for the next few days and
will take immediate charge of any
more bodies that may be dsinterred,
says the Walla Walla Union. Disin-
fectants will be freely used on all

Although opinion is divided as to
whether smallpox can spread from
contact with dead bodies, Coroner
MacMartin, realizing the wide posi-
iblity Of danger, viii take no chances.
A steel casket, partly filled with
chloride Of lime, will be carried today
to the spot where the two bodies
were discovered. The remains so far
unearthed will be placed in the cas-
