Another Version OF the Fish story-Newt
Jarvis was up from Nemaha, Monday. and
told the biggest fish story Of the season.
He says that the German carp have been
swimming along the Burlington right-of-
way at Nemaha, and on Monday one largo
specimen. weighing seventeen pounds, came
up alongside the passenger train at the de-
pot and endeavored to board 1t. A man
named Gillispie, saw the fish and grasping
a board. hit it over the head and killed it.
During the rise carp have been as thick
on the bottoms as bees at swarming
time and people have been killing them
with every conceivable kind Of weapon,
merely to crafty the desire to kill. The fish
are then hauled out Of the water and
thrown on the bank to decay.-Auburn Re-

new EXPRESS SERVICE
Railroad News of the Week
Idaho 6 Washington Northern
Uses Western Company

Express service over the Idaho &
Washington Northern Railroad was in
augurated Monday, Jan. 6, arrange
ments having been completed with the
Western Express Company. The SER
vice was started under the supervision
of F. H. Smith, route agent of the West
ern Company, with headquarters at
Nelson. B. c. Mr.. Smith was Newport
visitor Tuesday, arranging with Agent
Gibbs for the work at this station.
Offices have been opened at Newport,
Rathdrum and Spirit Lake, and as busi-
ness develops the other stations along
the line will be given service. The sta
ton agents of the railroad company will
conduct the business for the express
company, and are now prepared to
handle all kinds of business along that
line, including tho issuing of money or
ders.
The Western Express Company oper-
ates over the lines of the Spokane Inter
tional, the Canadian Pacific and the 500
Line. 1t does an extensive business
and its introduction here gives Newport
and the other towns along the line the
benefit of a competing transcontinental
express.
The two big freight engines for the I
& W N. arrived last week, and having
been duly tried out, have been accepted

The Fidelity's Boom.

The Newport brought the Fidelity's
pile driver up from Cusick on Saturday
and took it to the falls. A gang of men
started work on Monday constructing
the new booms of the company across
the river from the city
The new booms will begin at Albeni
Falls and end at the Motor place, oppo-
site the docks of the Pend d'Oreille
River Navigation Co. 1t is under
stood that the new sawmill of the
company will be located on the land re-
Gently purchased of Rev. Motor. The
Dooms will have a capacity for over
1t, ,OOO. 900 feet of logs, sufficient for a
years run for large MILL The piling
will be driven in some places ever 200
feet from the present low water mark in
the river. The construction of the
booms will require over 1000 pieces of
piling. The material is partly on the
ground and the balance is in-Priest
River and will be driven here as soon as
possible.
The company has river frontage Of
more than one and one-half miles along
the river from Albeni Falls to the ferry
line opposite old town. Engineer James
Fleming has been at work for some time
securing soundings and making plats of
the property of the company.

There has been considerable rivalry be-
tween the roads to get Joint rates with
the new road, the traffic value of its
territory being great. Heretofore the
Canadian Pacific, through the Spokane
International, has been the only road to
enjoy j,int tariff with the Blackwell
road.
The new railroad is giving Newport
some mighty fast freight service from
the east over its connecting lines, the
Canadian Pacific and Spokane Interna-
tional. D. Caldwell & Co. this week re-
ceived shipment from st. Paul that
had been only six days on the road.
This is mighty near an express service.
Roadmaster J. NJ Sachs, OF the Great
Northern. was in Newport Monday,
looking after the arrangements for the
work of making the big fill on the trestfe
between here and Albeni Falls. The
steam shovels are expected to arrive in
few days. It is estimated that there
is nearly year and half of work to be
done in making the fill. The trestle is
at some points nearly 70 feet high and a
twentyfoot road bed will require as
high as 180 feet of base.
The Spokane International discontin-
ued its through passenger train service
to St. Paul last Saturday, the Soo-Spo-
kane trains making their last trip on
that date. 1t is reported from the Spo-
kane offices of the railroad that this
through service will be reinstated again
with the opening up of traffic in the
spring, hut for the present the passenger
service over the new line will be handled
by means of the local trains between
Spokane and Eastport. There has been
no change In the running time of these
local trains.

BOAT NOW BUILDING
Will Be in Operation by May is
Navigation Company Makes Public
Its Plans for New Steamer

Official announcement is made that
the Pend d'Oreille River Navigation Co.
will have new steamer for use on the
Pend d'Oreille river the coming season.
Reports have been in circulation for
some time that such was the intention
of the company, but the following infor-
nation regarding the plans of the COM
panv is authentic and comes from an
official source:
Construction work on the boat has
been begun by the Willamette Iron &
Steel Works, of Portland, Oregon. The
boat will be built in Portland, even to
the pilot house, all doors and windows
being fitted and everything but decks
and siding will be put on there. She
will then be taken down and shipped to
Newport to be put together again and
machinery installed. Six to eight weeks
work will complete the boat ready for
service after her arrival in Newport.
In size the new boat will be similar to
the Spokane, being 130 feet long by 2f
feet wide, but in appearance it will be
entirely different, being modelled after
the boats in use on the Columbia and
Willamette. It will take about six
freight cars to transport the boat in
knocked down condition from Portland
to Newport and when completed she will
cost about $4,000. She will be fitted

by the company and put to work. They
have eight drive wheels and are hand
some, powerful machines, representing
the very latest in locomotive construc-
ton. Their weight is 119 tons; with the
tender 200 tons; and they are capable OF
handling immense loads.
Work on the construction of the rail
road yards at Spirit Lake continues, a
large force of men being kept at work
there. The steam shovel is still work
ing at the east end of the Newport
trestle and is making big cut along the
right of way.
The new coaches were started out 0
Pullman, ILL.,, and should reach here the
first of next week. The coaches are said
to be the finest ever turned out of the
Pullman shops and cost SIT 200 each.
Four new freight cabooses are also on
the way With the arrival of the new
equipment there will be three trains a
day to Spokane. the trains running
through without change.
c. A. Hunt, Great Northern engi-
neer, with force of men. is in the city
engaged in surveying for a transfer track
connecting with the Idaho & Washing
ton Northern Railroad. Mr.. Hunt re-
Gently made survey for 500-foot ex-
| tension of the Great Northern mill spur
Traffic officials of the Great Northern
are now working with the Idaho &

compilation of a tariff which will give
joint rates on all kinds of freight from
all points on one road to all points or
the other and vice versa. The exact
date at which the tariff will 60 into

with electric lights and every moderr
convenience for the comfort and pleasure
OF her passengers.
The new boat will be placed in the
passenger and freight service, and will
be SO powerful and speedy that round
trip will be made each day from New
port to Box Canyon and return. 1t is
the intention of the company to use the
boat for excursion purposes during the
summer. Trains will be run from Spo-
kane over the Idaho & Washington
Northern Railr Dad, connecting at New
port with steamer, and the excursionists
will be taken to Box Canyon and given
an hours time to view the beauties of
the canyon. The exceedingly fast time
that is possible over the new rail-
read will make these strictly daylight
trips, returning the excursionists to
Spokane before dark.
The navigation company is making
every effort to give the people of the
lower river the best possible service and
to assist in the development of that Sec
ton. The new boat will be great &C.
commodation to both residents and
tourists, and the excursions will be of
inestimable value in bringing to the
public notice the natural resources of
this section. The river trip is bound to
become popular, and Newport and the
lower river country are sure to reap
incalculable benefit from the service to
be given by the new boat. 1t is ex-
pected to have the boat IN operation by
the middle of May.

BRYAN IN A PICTURE.

N MANY respects Mr.. Bryan is fearless. The
Nebraskan is a member of the conference of
governors and others now in session in Wash
ington.. Colonel Bryan was one Of the five gen
orally prominent citizens" of the country sum-
moned by the President to assist the governors
in their deliberations. A picture of the noted
men taken the other day. Three imposing
figures in the group were Mr. Bryan, James J..
Hill, the railroad magnate, and Andrew Carnegie,
gver of libraries and organs.
Bryan sat between Carnegie and Hill. His
arms touched theirs Bryan and Carnegie looked
happy. Hill looked serious Governor Johnson,
who was in the rear, joked about the position of
Bryan when he said that the Commoner was be-
tween the plutocrats.
But how will this latest act of Mr. Bryan, his
sitting between Hill and Carnegie, affect his
Texas constituents? Senator Bailey was accused
of hobnobbing too freely with the plutocrats
when he shook hands with J. Pierpont Morgan.
The fact that he was in Morgan's neighborhood
was used against the Texas senator during his
recent contest for election as a delegate to the
Denver convention. VIII the Texans get after
Bryan? Alas it is too late. The Texas dele
gates to Deny-S have been instructed for him.

FREIGHT CHARGES IN DELAWARE.

A MONG the farmers of Delaware there IS
still complaint about the freight rates
charged by the railroad company Tor the ship
ment of fruit With the prospect OF tar crop,
the handling of the fruit becomes an important
problem In past years this problem has been
vital. Unless the farmers have relief in water
shipments they are absolutely at the mercy OF the
railroad company. The company can make or
break the success of the fruit crop 1t appears
that some of the growers do not regard the re-
Gently reported concessions OF the company as
concessions at all The down-State papers con-
tain complaints of the fruit producers on this
point.
A Bridgeve citizen writes to local paper
declaring that the freight rates ION peaches and
berries are higher to start with per mike than in
any known part of the United States lhiS
writer also says:
We always have and always will continue
to pay excessive freight rates until people
who are directly interested combine and go
before the Interstate Commerce Commission
with their grievances, as they have done in Y
all other large fruit-growing States.
Here is a charge evidently made by response
bic m9l 1t should be investigated. Is It true
that the Delaware Railroad Company charges
the fruit growers of this State higher rates than
any other railroad company charges in other
States for similar service?
If this charge is not true the falsity of it should
be plainly shown. We have been hearing for
years OF these complaints OF discrimination and
excessive charges.
The Republican platform at Dover demanded
Just treatment of the shippers. 1t "is up to" the
Republican farmers in the fruit district to force
that plank to the front, if excessive rates are
charged. They should have a fair deal in ship
ping their fruit.
Some time ago our own Board Of Trade inves-
tigated this matter of freight rates and statistics
were gathered. In answer to the statements of
some members of the board, counter statements
were made by the railroad company. Then the
matter appears 10 have been dropped.
Recently the company and the farmers got to-
gether by means of a committee to consider
grievances. Yet, Notwithstanding this move
ment, and We assumed that it would lead to a
satisfactory adjustment all around, the COM
plants continue. Let the matter be settled in
fairness to the company and to the fruit pro-
ducers. There ought to be some manner Of reach
ing just agreement

STRANGE STORY ABOUT FORAKER.

A NEWS story from Washington printed in
a New York paper which is supporting
Governor Hughes for the presidential nomna-
ton, says that peace has been made between the
Taft and Foraker forces in Ohio. Under the ten
itative agreement Foraker is to support Taft,
perhaps nominate him at the Chicago convention
and Foraker is to be returned as senator This
story may be true, but it hardly seems probable
If true, what will Foraker's friends think of him
that is, the friends who picked him out to lead
the fight against Taft and thereby save the
country"
Foraker could hardly afford to desert the anti
TAFT flag under which he enlisted, although al
most anything is possible with a leader like For
aker, when a senatorial position is dangled under
his eyes.
The New York influences that have been
making so strenuous a fight against Taft and
the Roosevelt administration will have to look
into this Foraker story. The influences have re-
ceived many blows lately but if Foraker deserts
them his desertion will be the hardest knock of
all. Can it be that the opposition to Taft, which
was thought to be fairly we'll grounded, or at
least to have some substance behind it, has COM
pletely collapsed?
