One Of the Mean Ones.

A worthy old Gentleman in the Coun-
try, having employed an Attorney, Of
whom he had pretty good Opinion, to
do some Law Business for him in Lon
don, he was greatly surprised on his
coming to Town, and demanding his
Bill Of Law Charges. to find that it
amounted to at least three Times the
Sum he expected: the honest Attorney
assured him that there was no Article
in his Bill but what was fair and rea-
sonable. Nay, said the Country Gen.
tleman. here is one Of them I am sure
cannot be so, for you have set down
three Shillings and four Pence for go
ing to Southwark. when none Of my
Business lay that way; pray what is
the Meaning of that Sir; Oh! Sir. said
he. that was for fetching the Chine and
Turkey from the Carriers. that you
sent me for Present, out OF the C0un-
try-"Joe Miller's Jest Book" 1880.

"Dinkey" Will Not Run on Sunday

Stevens county towns on the line OF
the Spokane Falls & Northern are pro-
testing against the abolition of the Sun
day passenger trains on that line. The
order has been issued that the only pas
senger train now running on that day is
! to be discontinued next Sunday.
Loon Lake in particular claims that
the new plan will work a great hardship
to the town and summer resorters who
flock to that place from Spokane and
other points. A meeting of the improve
ment association was held Monday to
discuss the situation. The other towns
will be deprived of their Sunday mail
and papers, and, with the lid on tight
in that locality, the residents may be
compelled to be good.
The Great Northern has also notified
its Newport agent that the Boomers
Ferry local, or "dinkey," as it is gener-
ally called, will not be run on Sundays
after March 90 This will affect num-
Der of towns on the line, but not to a
great extent, as the other passenger
trains will give them fair service. 1t
will not affect Newport much, as most
of the Sunday travel comes from Spo-
kane, and the other Great Northern
trains and the Idaho & Washington
Northern give splendid service between
that city and Newport.

Shoots Albeni Falls

Joe Cyr, one of The best river men in
this section, shot Albeni Falls Wednes-
day, but will not do so again. Joe has
been working above the falls for long
time, and has frequently thought that
it would be an easy matter to shoot
them at an ordinary stage of water,
such as exists at the present time.
Securing an ordinary batteau and a
large paddle he entered the stream some
distance above the falls. Every thing
went all right until he struck the second
swell in the large falls, when his boat
began shipping large quantities OF water.
Soon the boat was filled and Joe had to
begin treading in order to keep the
boat from capslzing. He had to walk
from one end of the boat to the other in
water waist deep. The only thing that
prevented him from being thrown into
the rapids was his skill and the large
paddle that he carried.
He landed safely below the big eddy,
Out says tnc experience was eAclllHS
enough to keep him from trying lit again.
This is the first time in several years
that any one has run through these
rapids successfully. Years ago, the old
timers say, it was a common practice
for the hunters and trappers ito shoot
the rapids for pleasure, and as matter
OF economy in time in travelling. The
falls are known as the most dangerous
on the upper Pend d'Oreille river. Sew
eral lives haye been lost at that point
and it is ioolhardy to risk life in at
tempting the feat. ..

1t is reported from Portland, where
Capt. Lanneau is at the present time
engaged in purehasing the material for

The steamer was designed by Capt
DePew, who is an old boat builder and
navigator Of experience, having operated
boats on the kootenia, Yukon and 9th

The Ruth, as the new boat will be
named, will be equipped with electric
lights, hydraulic steering gear, and is
expected to carry a cargo and a loaded

Whittier at Close Rance.

Whittier belonged to those natures
who would advance with firlnness and
JOY to martyrdom in a good cause, but
are never comfortable in society, and
who impress one with the idea that
they would like to run out of the door
at any moment. Yet few enjoyed the
society of congenial friends as did the
Quaker poet. No one relished a good
story more or related one with better
grace His sense of the ludicrous was
very vivid, and the absurdities Of life
and it's situations struck him never
more forcibly than when they involved
himself AS Whittier's nephew and
biographer has asserted, it would be a
mistake to suppose that gentleness was
a necessity of his nature. His was in
reality the result of resolute self con-
troll and the habitual government Of a
tempestuous spirit. Indeed, the poet
had his shrewd, assertive and almost
yindictive side, else he had never been
so successful Il politician and reform
er. - Caroline Ticknor in Harper's
Weekly.

Ballet Shoes.

Ballet shoes fit like a stocking. They
are Of leather, with thin leather sole
about an inch wide and with the up
pers sewed SO that they come under
the foot. The ballet dancer wants no
rubber heels, instep arch supports nor
any other of the foot supporting or
reforming devices which are common
ly used by ordinary mortals. The toe
dancer desires q hard box toe on her
ballet shoes, but the ordinary dancer
seeks only shoes that will give perfect
freedom Of movement of the joints and
muscles of the feet. It is a rule Of
good dancers. shoe man of expert
ence says, to wear shoes that will al
low for space between the toes. 1t is
a point of good fit that all persons
should heed, he says. High heels are
put on to stage shoes for effect, not to
promote good dancing. Many stage
shoes are made with short fore parts
and high heels to make the feet look
smaller and the person taller-Bostoa

Big Boat for Priest Lake

G. H. Wheatley, of Priest Lake, has
let the contract for big double-deck
steamer on Priest Lake. The boat is a
stern wheeler. 65 feet long and will carry
passengers on the lake The contract
calls for the completion of the compile
ton of the boat by the 5th of Nav.
1t is expected this steamer will be a
big factor this year in popularizing
Priest Lake as summer resort. Ar
rangements are being made to accom-
modate large crowds, and now that a
big steamer is to be provided, the trips
on the lake can be made in much shorter
time than before.-Spokane Chronicle.

MORE RAILROAD TALK
Rumor of Extension of Burlington
to Puget Sound
To Go West From Newport.

And still there are rumors of another
railroad that is heading toward Newport
and will help to make this town one of
the largest railroad centers in Eastern
Washington. =
The railroad is a transcontinental
line, too, according to report, and is none
other than the extension of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy to the Puget Sound
country This road now has its western
terminus at Billings, Mont, and is con-
tiolled by the Hill interests. From
Billings to Seattle it now operates over
the Northern Pacific, through passenger
service being maintained between Chi
cage aud Seattle.
The traffi: on the Washington portion
of the Northern Pacific is ordinarily
very heavy and the increased business
of the Burlington has seriously inter-
fered with the operating department.
The demand for greater trackage caused
the construction during the past wear Of
the Spokane. Seattle & Portland Rail-
road by the Hill party 1t is now re-
ported that the same interests will find
a new route for the Burlington from
Standpoint to the coast.
The plan, as told here by civil en-
gineer in the employ of the Northern
Pacific, is to build line from Standpoint
to Newport and then to Chewelah, where
they would strike fine mineral and
fruit country. From Chewelah the road
isto be built to Coneonully, in Okanagan
county, and then to Rockport, in Skagit
with another Hill line running to Bel
lingham.
The route proposed would open up
an immense territory, rich in mineral,
timber and agricultural resources, that
is without railroads at the present time.
In addition the road would open to the
public territory, now practically closed
on account of the lack of railroads, con.
tanning some of most beautiful noun
tain scenery in the world
THE MINER hopes that this road will
be built and that this place may be a
division point and have the shops of the
company. Its construction would de-
veIop large scope of country tributary
to Newport and would greatly increase
our population and the volume of bust
ness transacted here.
1t is certain that engineers in the en-
ploy of some road have been working on
proposed line between Standpoint and
Newport for the past two years. Re-
ports have also been current at other
points along the proposed route of the
work of engineers, who would not di-
vulge the name of the company they
were working for.
Let the good work go on. h

At the Falls

The Dahlquists, who have been at
work during the past year making the
rock cut on the Great Northern Just east
OF this city, have completed their work
and discharged their crew. They will
leave in a few days for the Cascade Sec
ton of the Great Northern, where they
nave some unfinished work to attend to.
There are still three piers to complete
at the the falls before the new bridge
can be commenced. I. is feared that
the high water will interfere with the
construction of the piers, and that the
work OF building that structure will not
be completed until fall, instead of this
spring as contemplated.
