The legislative apportionment bill
will be opposed and as substitute

ent. An additional county will be
given one senator and one represen-
tative, unless the county shall be Gre

N. P. TO CHANGE
MAIN LINE
Tunnel Divide and Build From
Wallace to Occur d'Alene

A party of Northern Pacific rail-
road officials are scheduled to visit
the city of Wallace tomorrow. Their
visit to that city. 1t is said. Is for the
purpose of considering and making
plans for the tunneling of the Idaho
Montana divide, and also for extend
ing the road from Wallace to this
city, thereby shortening the distance
of the present Missoula Spokane
main line, which runs through the
Pend O'Rielle country, and making
the proposed extension the main line.
Before their itinerary is completed
they may visit this city as it is here
that the proposed extension will
make connection with the Hauser
branch to the main line, and for the
purpose of inspecting tract OF land
owned by the company north of the
city limits and east OF First street.
This tract of ground is a quarter of
mile wide and one mile long. and
will be used by the company, 1t is un.
derstood, as site upon which to
build its shops and 40 engine round
house. The company has shops To-
Gated at Missoula and the site north
of this city Is ideally situated as to
distance from the shops at that place
and also in every other respect and
there seems to be no doubt now but
this will be the use that will be made
of 1t.

HOUSES IN BIBLE TIMES

biologists excavating in Galilee came
upon a hill Or large mound under

served walls of house dating from
the time of Christ, which belonged &c
the dwelling of a well-to-do man. A
large clubhouse also unearthed contain.

The foundations of the house are sc

difficulty in making an exact plan OF
the rooms. which are similar In char.
acter and design to those in which
the famous supper of Cana In Galilee
took place.
These rooms are wholly unlike the
conception of Leonardo da Vinci and
other painters, who have treated this
subject. The room In which the wa
ter was turned into wine probably was
not more than 20 feet long by 10 feet
wide and had low roof There were
stone benches around the walls and a
recess in the wall facing the east, In
which perhaps the giver of the feast
sat.

for quite while, and finally
crawled out again.

the store showed that bales of

corner, but apparently nothing
was stolen.

Although city police officers or

the western counties have institut-
ed an energetic search for the
safe-crackers who blew off the
door of the Shuh Brothers safe
at Kapowsin Sunday night and es-
capped with more than $1,000. not
one clue has been unearthed as to
the mems identity or hiding place.
The handcar which the men
rode from Kapowsin to Fern Hill
under cover of darkness, and
which was ditched at the Fern
Hill crossing, leads detectives to
believe that the men came into
Tacoma, but whether they are still
here or have fed to another part
of the country can only be con-
jectured.
The safe can be repaired easily,
and the $500 worth of stolen
checks have been annulled.
