Make Des Molnes See City.

Make Des Moines See City.
Information from very high
ecclesiastical authority has come to
Des Moines to the effect that Des
Moines may soon be made a see city
of the great church, proper apprecia.
ton and cooperation being shown
here by the people.
1t is stated that Archbishop Keane
of Dubuque and Bishops Garrigan Of
Sioux City and Davis of Davenport
are entirely willing to redistrict
their dioceses in such way as to
make Des Moines a see city.
This project has been discussed
extensively hitherto and movements
have been put on foot from time to
time to secure for Des Moines this
great advantage and distinction. 1t
is thought now, that the chances are
far better than ever heretofore.
The advantage to the church from
this plan has been clearly understood
by the members of the great organi-
cation which is concerned in the
matter, especially. The immense
Importance to Des Moines has not
been fully realized by the people sof
the city in all probability.
If Des Moines were a see city
there would be located here cathe.
dral, an episcopal residence and the
institutions of the church for the
education of priests, and other
schools.
The Commercial exchange or club
some time ago appointed committee
to cooperate in the movement to Sc
cure this concession from the Catho-
lie church for this city 1t is thought
that now the committee will resume
its operations toward that end, in
view of the great encouragement
which has come to influential Catho-
lies in the city.
Monsignor Flavin will soon go to
Rome. It is thought not at all I'M
likely that he will return a bishop.

Wants 5000 for Hoo.

Frank D. Winn started suit in dis
trict court to recover $4,000 dam
ages from the American Express COM
pany for the death of Statesman,
prize boar exhibited at the Iowa state
fair last fall. ]. ]. Ward and B. P.
Smith of Belleville, Kas., were the
owners of the prize porker.
According TO the petition, the plain
tiff had arranged with the American
Express company to ship Statesman
to Lincoln, Neb. He told the COM
pany, he claims, that the hog was a
valuable one and that the company
promised to take it from the fair
grounds to the train in a special
wagon by itself.
Instead of this, Winn AYERS, the
company put Statesman in an ordi-
nary transfer wagon and piled nine
other hogs of less value and rank, in
around, and over said Statesman.
The result was, so Winn says, that
Statesman was obliged to suffer from
the extreme heat
Then the driver made matters
worse, according to VIM, by driv-
ing over all the railroad tracks he
possibly could to reach the depot,
thereby rudely jolting and jostling
the prize porker. There was a much
smoother and better road to reach
the depot, so Winn declares, but the
driver wouldn't take it. Then, Winn
says, five minutes after Statesman
had been unloaded unceremoniously
from the wagon onto an ordinary
truck, he died. And this untimely
death was due entirely to the negli-
gence of the company in placing the
porker in the same wagon with nine
others and to the carelessness of the
driver, so Winn says.

MAKE IMPROVEMENTS.
Prepare For Sale of Lots in New Spokane
Addition to Grangeville.

A force of men with teams and
scrapers is busily engaged in leveling
up some of the streets in the new
Spokane addition which joins the city
on the west. A large culvert has
been place across Main street in the
gulch just west of the brewery and
this is to be covered with earth and
graded properly to provide a suitable
highway to and from the new addi-
ton.
There are hfty-taree blocks in the
addition all plated in lots. The lots
have not as yet been placed on the
market but the sale will doubtless be-
gin shortly. 1t is the intention of the
owners, Ham, YearSley, Ryrie & Phil
brick, of Spokane, to provide several
metropolitan Improvements in the
addition next spring. The lots are
all conveniently located and it is the
opinion of many that the new addi-
ton, which few weeks ago was USED
for pasture land, will be transformed
into one of the most beautiful resid-
ence districts in the city by this time
next year.
d. T. Ham, a member of the firm
which owns the addition, will arrive
in the city tomorrow from Spokane to
confer with Eben Mounce, who is
the local representative of the firm.

county,

The dry movement was de-
feated in Lewiston last Thursday by
2 to / vote. A great deal of interest
was taken in the election and a large
vote was cast. Citizens of the town
are now asking whether the saloon
men will make good several promises
made before the test promises such
as closing up all open gambling, re-
moving objectional features from the
saloons, etc. The idea of a dry town
for Lewiston has been agitated for
long time but, as the election has
demonstrated, the majority of the
citizens do not favor the move. The
city now supports nineteen saloons.

Arrival of Railroad to be Oc-
casion for Big Time.
CLUB SOLD 200 BUTTONS
Governing Board Will Meet To.
morrow Night.

The committee recently appointed |
by the commercial club to sell booster
buttons got real busy couple of hours
Friday morning and disposed of over
two hundred of the little celluloid
emblems of good town with a pro-
gressive spirit Every store and busi-
ness house in town was visited and
every man on the street was accosted
Everybody was persuaded to believe
that the only way to boost for Grange
vile was to buy a button and conse-
quently almost everybody purchased.
The sale was great enough to swell
the finances of the commercial club
to such an extent that number of
old bills against the organization were
squared Friday evening and the club
is now practically out of debt.
AT the meeting held at the. club
headquarters Friday evening a great
deal of time was spent in discussion
of the celebration of the railroad S
completion to this point. Practically
all the citizens favor the idea and are
willing to boost enthusiastically for the
successful termination of the move
ment but owing to the fact that it is
not definitely known just when the
road will be turned over to the COM
pany an exact date for the big cele-
bration cannot be decided upon.
The matter of arranging the program
for the event was left to the enter
tainment committee of the CONNER
cial club, which consists of MessrS.
c. A. Parsons, w. H. Casady, l..
M. Harris and w. N. Scales. This
committee will confer with a commit
tee from the Idaho County Pioneer
Association in regard to the different
features of the program.
The club acted upon the movement
to secure a satisfactory schedule for
Grangeville over the new railroad.
This idea has been discussed by busi-
ness men for some months past and
it was thought best to appoint COM
mittee of local citizens to look after
the matter. The committee will con-
fer with the railroad authorities at an
early date. Messrs. w. w. Brown,
S. ]. Foster, Wallace Scott, c. A,
Parsons, ]. Frank Sims, L. A. Wise
ner and |. c. Hattabaugh constitute
the committee.
Board Meets Tomorrow Night.
The governing board of the club
will meet tomorrow night. w. Jor-
dan, of Lewiston, general agent of the
Northern Pacific, is in the city and
will confer with the board at this meet
ing. 1t is thought that some addi-
tional news concerning the exact date
of the entire completion of the rail-
road will be made public by Mr.. Jor-
dan.

The Standard
Oil Special
BRYAN SMILES UNDER "iNsULT"
OF CORPORATION CON-
TRieUTIoNs.

No better advertisement OF Its abase
ment at the hands of the corporations
could be possibly furnished by the
Democratic party than the STANDARD
Oil" special. now traversing the state
OF Colorado.
It is freely charged that this
magnificent train Is being financed by
the Standard OIL Company and Colo
RADIO corporations In the interests OF
Bryan. Charles J. Hughes. Jr.. Jonn F.
Shafroth and other candidates on the
Democratic national and state tick
cts. Hughes and Shafroth are d.
rectly Identified with the corpo-
rations and have been for years.
They are merely masquerading
under the time-honored tenets OF
the Democratic party, which have
suddenly been abandoned. The peo.
pie should awaken to a realization of
this fact. for 1t means that the Demo.
cratic party is now subservient to the
influences 1t once decried. and for no
other reason than that these corpora
tions are furnishing ready money.
"Oh, what a fall was there. my
countrymen."
Eight years ago William Jennings
Bryan went through the country with
a fine tooth comb looking for men in
the Democratic party who were being
Influenced by the corporations. He
did the same thing four years ago and
attempted to read Roger Sullivan Of
Illinois out Of the party for represent
ing corporations.
This year he comes to Denver and
sees the Democratic party absolutely
debauched by corporations. He sees
Charles J. Hughes. Jr.. corporation
man pure and simple. running for
United States senator and contributing
5000 TO the Bryan campaign fund. He
sees plans for the special train being
completed, the funds being entirely
furnished BY corporations.
Yet Mr.. Bryan comes and goes with
out . word Of reproach. His old fine-
ly-assumed sense Of shame at corpor-
ate invasion seems to have become
suddenly bluntsd. He overiooks tie
things he decried . fsw years ago.
Brysn's desire to become President
Of the United States has never led
him into . grsvsr Inconsistency than
