AUTOMOBlLINC
ON MELTING ICE

CHICAGO, March IA dispatch
to the Tribune from Saginaw. Mich,
says:
Fifty mikes in an automobile over
honeycombed and melting ice that
threatened to give way every foot
of the last Is miles, was the thrill
ing experience of Edward Doan OF
Saginaw and JOHN Milas, an oldtime
pilot of Sebawing, who made a sew
en-hour trip from the latter place
over Saginaw bay and up the river
to this city.
Leaving Sebewaing In 12-horse-
power machine. the travellers had
exhilarating sport for 20 miles.
Then they became lost and but for a
compass which the old pilot found
in his pocket there is no telling
where they would have landed.
They were out of sight of land and
many miles out on the bay.
They encountered numerous ice
jams and snow drifts 20 feet high.
Frequently they bridged chasms
with fraf1 pIanks, and often the
drifts compelled wide detours,
@The real excitement. however,
said Doan. "came after we left Bay
CITY. up the bay. The honeycombed
ice cracked all the way. There was
open water on both sides of us much
Of the way and we were powerless
to reach shore"

QUESTION ON
SALOON LIMIT
COUNCIL HAS MOOTED POINT AS
TO PRIORITY OF RIGHT TO BE
NAMED AMONG THE ELIGIBLE
APPLICANTS.

The ordinance passed Monday
night which provides for limiting
the number of saloons in the city to
Fl has already precipitated the
council into a position from which
Il will eXtricate itself with diff
Guilty
The situation was brought about
at the meeting held yesterday aft
ernoon, at which time the appplica-
tons of Philip and Edward Weis-
gerber were presented and were re-
ferred until the next meeting, after
stormy war of words between
Councilmen Howard and King.
At the time the limit ordinance
was passed it was reported that 10
saloons are now being operated in
the city and that Cash Cole of Gull
desac had purchased the unexpired
license Of ]. c. Kennedy and that
| Thomas Craig had secured a lease
on the Squires block and removed
his stock of liquors and fixtures
from Vollmer here for the purpose
Of engaging in business.
Councilman Salsberg, supported
! by Councilman King and Phillips,
believed these men should be allow
ed to open their saloons and favor
ed placing the limit at 81, which
would provide for these places. The
ordinance was opposed by Aldermen
Howard and Booth, who held that
the action was contrary to the orig
inal contentious of the council.
A question has developed as to the
legality of the transfer of the Ken
nedy license, ON the grounds that
| the city charter provide; that 10
city license can be issued until the
state and county License has been
secured, and as such license has not
] as yet been secured by Cash Cole for
Lewiston, the license purchased
! from Kennedy becomes invalid. The
general opinion, however seems to
/ be that the Kennedy license is valid
unless revoked by the city, but the
question is one that resulted in one
of the Weisgerber petitions being
filed yesterday.
On the other hand, Craig has fail
ed to make application for his city
license, and there were no applica-
lions on file in the city clerks Office
at the time the Weisgerber applica-
lions were filed yesterday.
question to be determined by the
council is whether the transfer OF
the license to Cole is legal and
whether the applications of Messrs'
Weisgerber can be denied and h
!. cense later granted to Mr.. Craig,

ell when the limit ordinance was
passed.

MAY CELEBRATE
With EXCLUSION
BOOSTERS PLAN FOR BARBECUE
AND PICNIC FOR ALL CITI-
ZENS OF PRAIRIE COUNTRY
WHEN LINE IS COMPLETED.

A special train from Grangeville
to Lewiston to bring the people of
the prairie country here, where 81
big barbecue picnic lunch will be
served and the expense of all to be
borne by a public subscription, Is
one of the plans that has been offer
ed as the most appropriate manner
Of celebrating the opening of the
railroad from Lewiston to the me-
tropolis of the prairie country.
1t has been suggested that little
trouble would be experienced in Sc
curing the funds necessary to defray
the expenses Of such an undertake
ing, and the plan provides for the
tickets to be apportioned to the sew
eral prairie towns to be distributed
by the various commercial organi-
cations. The tickets will be for re-
turn passage, the city of Lewiston
undertaking to furnish the trans
portation, entertainment and o
grand picnic dinner.
The celebration to be given here
would be a matter to be placed in
the hands of a committee to be APP
| pointed for that purpose.
This is the kind of celebration
number of business men are urging
as the proper manner of celebrating
| the opening of railroad into
| the country that has been a feeder
| for Lewiston since it's first settle
ment. It is stated that Lewiston
could do little less than to bring the
| people of the upper country here
for a day as the guests of the city
they have supported for years.
Il would put my name down for
$25 for such purpose, said a
prominent citizen last night, when
discussing the proposed special train
from the prairie country. II be-
lieve the entertainment of the peo-
pie in the prairie country tributary
to us is of much more Importance
to us than spending money on out
side delegations.
"Of course / believe in being
kospitable to the delegations from
| all of our neighboring cities, but
the proper people to celebrate the
opening of the railroad from Lewis
| ton into the prairie country are the
peonle who are effected by the con-
struct son and there is no one thing
| that would do so much toward ce-
menting the interests of Lewiston
with all of the country tributary as
the bringing of these people here
upon the occasion of the opening of
the road that will bring us into
closer relationship.
81 believe it is a matter that
| should be presented to the CONNER
| cial club, and ] believe If such a
thing can be put through and the
! entire city be made to join in the
| efforts to entertain the visitors from
| the prairie towns, that the interests
| in the Commercial club work will be
awakened to such an extent that
every meeting of the organization
would hereafter be attended by
large numbers of interested citi-
zens."

But since then Bailey has fallen so
far and so fast that the recent elec.
tion makes only one more station on
the way down hill, though to him it is
the bitterest blow of all. The minor
ity leadership was the object of his
immediate ambition. His humiliation
by his own colleague and former fol-
lowers in the senate. for it is nothing
less, hurts him more than anything
else.
The final drop in Bailey's cup is that
not only has he been cast aside, but
his bitterest enemy has been chosen
for the place he coveted. Culberson
and Bailey are sworn foes. The en-
nifty between them originated with
Culberson. Bailey, who is the proud
est and most unyieIding OF men. at
first so far abandoned his usual scorn-
full attitude in such cases as TO make
overtures to Culberson. They were
rejected, and from that time the war
between them was relentless.
Culberson's friends warned him
against making a fight on the dOminat-
ing Democrat of Washington and
urged him to accept the olive branch;
but CulbersOn's thin lips only whitened
as he listened-a trick of theirs, which
his friends know weli-and he made
no answer. So the war went on
which ended in triumph for CUlbersOn.
1t will be the more bitter for Bailey if
CuIbersOn becomes chairman of the
national committee. There is a sus-
picion that Bryan realizes this. Bailey
is no friend of Bryan's.
