Sport with Sturgeon
Spokane, March 19.-Four stur-
geon, the largest being 10 feet ins.,
andweighing 400 pounds were caught
by Gustave Patten, Frank Vincent
s. C. Wamsley of lilo, Idaho, in Snake
river, near the mouth Of Red Bird
Creek, southeast of Spokane. A
two-horse team was required to haul
the lilo pound catch to town.
The men used 600 feet of heavy
rope as a line, the rod being tree.
A steel hook was baited with large
eel and weighted with twenty pounds
of lead. To permit the fish to play
on the line the shore end was fasfen-
ed to tree, which swayed with every
movement of the sturgeon In their
endeavors to get away.
The fishermen say they had the
most difficulty in landing the smallest
fish, which was six feet in length and
weighed 200 pounds. 1t fought and
dashed the water for almost an hour
before it was brought to the bank.
These are the largest fish caught
in the Snake river this season, where
students of Izaak Walton have been
busy for months.

Roosevelt and the Newspaper Men

Roosevelt and the Newspaper Men.
It is difficult to write an appraise-
ment OF Roosevelt from Washington
which shall at the same time be an
lappraisement Of the Roosevelt that is
known ION the outside" as the news
paper correspondents say, These
correspondents. and there are about
4 hundred and Atty of them who
serve their papers, big and little.
throughout the country, as members
of the capitol press galleries, have no
illusions concerning Roosevelt. They
think and say, many of them, that he
is the most successful four-dusher
that ever drew the breath OF life,
that he is careless In his handling Of
the truth, that he knows not the name
of justice. that he distributes favors
by fancy and not fairness, that he is
vain as a peacock, as confident as a
god, as sensitive of criticism as wo-
man, as tenacious as bulldog, and
as vindictive as Malay. He is
good liker and good hater, and his
blood is red and thick. And yet
there are no same number of men
in the United States who will admit
more readily that Theodore Roosevelt
lis entitled in all respects to be called
Roosevelt, the Dominant. Some of
them have been taken across the knee
and slippered, and from many of
them he has withdrawn the light of
his countenance for varying periods.
usually for the most trivial reasons.
One newspaper man told the presi-
dent he was going to Panama for his
paper, and Mr.. Roosevelt gave him
some advice and suggestions as to
what he should write. He didn't fol-
low the advice and the president has
not spoken to him since. Another
newspaper man, stationed at the
White House for newspaper which,
editorially, has said harsh things
about the president, has to get the
news from his colleagues. Under in
structions from Mr.. Roosevelt, every
thing possible in the way of news is
kept from him. The removal of 9th
er men from that assignment has been
demanded, and many other instances
might be enumerated to show that
Roosevelt has gone out Of his, some
times very far out of his way indeed,
to crafty the pettiest kind of person

KERENs FOR AMBASSADOR

Col. Richard C. Kerens, whose
money bags have been open to re-
publican campaign committees in
Missouri for more than 80 years, in
which time he has been inspired by
the hope of being made a United
States senator, which was never real
lied, may be recognized by President
Taft with an appointment as ambas-
sador to Austria, according to press
dispatches from Washington.
Col. Kerens declined to discuss the
report. 1t has been his lifelong am
bition to be United States sena-
tor. In the years when Missouri kept
its democratic majority close to the
50, 900 mark, Colonel Kerens was free
with his money in aiding hopeless
republican fight. His unlimited con-
tributions to the state republican
campaign fund went far toward car
rying the state, which has heretofore
been overwhelmingly democratic, for
Taft.
He was defeated for the senate four
years ago, and Immediately began his
plans to succeed Senator Stone in
1909. The leading candidate against
him was Lieut.. Gov. John G. McKin-
ley, who easily won the contest.
Kerens' expense account, filed after
the election, showed he had spent
$4,000. This was itemized, and
showed that he had contributed large
sums to the committees, and that he
had spent $4,000 for a special train
for Speaker Cannon to tour southern
and southwest Missouri. Col. Kerens
accompanied Speaker Cannon and
conducted his own campaign from the
train.

Substitute for Cast Iron in Car Wheels,
Pipe for Fire Service and Door Hinges
The strong tendency to substitute
steel for cast iron wheels in both stean
and electric railway service illustrates
distinctly the constant tendency 10
change the character Of iron or steel
for uses already well known. These
shifts are going on continuously. The
city Of Baltimore has just let a contract
for steel pipe for its new high pressure
fire system, although cast iron pipe has
heretofore been used almost Exclusive
". In 80 common thing as door
hinge there has been the change from
cast iron to rolled steel, In rails the
change has begun. 1t is years ago that
special steel began to be adopted in frog
and crossing wrok, but ii is only Of
late that railroad engineers have found
It desirable to use rails Of special quail
ity IN long stretches Of track where The
traffic IS particularly heavy. The time
was when the duty was light on main
line rails, and steel of special durability
was regarded as desirable only at points
Of special track construction. When
the destructive tendency becomes great
enough, 1t pays TO buy special steel
even at greatly increased FIRST cost, for
the reason that with short life the
replacement cost is heavy and interest
cost Is proportionately less important.
Thus it is change in the duty the rail
must perform that has been chiefly in
strumental in bringing about the rail
Of special quality The improvements
In manufacturing processes are being
made largely because the demand IS
arising for the product.
The steel wheel promises such dura-
bility as compared with the cast iron
wheel that it appears strange, at first
glance, that it was not exploited soon

Incidents Made Possible BY The De-
vice.
The principle Of the telephone has
been known for many centuries, the

in 1861 and in 1867 be succeeded in
transmitting sound by means of dis

sounds Of d musical box from cellar to

twenty years ago--to be exact, Febru-
arv 12,1ss7 that the first public mes
sage was conveyed by the modern tele-
phone. This was transmitted bv It's in
yentOr, Urof. Bell, when experimenting
in public for the first time between
Boston and salem, United States, eight
cen miles distant from each other. The
late Mr.. Baikes, when Postmaster
General, sent the first public message
ever transmitted through the telephone
between London and Paris. THE mes
sage was spoken on March Is. 1901.
The first words transmitted from the
English side were the following: aAnd
the Lord said my voice shall traverse
continents, islands and seas. Thus
have ! promised il to My people for
ever A brief conversation then took
place between Mr.. Raikes and NJ Jules
Roche. French minister Of posts and
telegraphs, after which Mr.. Raikes com
munieated a message from the then
Prince Of Wales to Nj, Carnot, the
French President and made a speech Of
congratulation aud greeting into the
ear Of NJ Roche, who replied in similar
terms. both speeches being in French.
It was also Prof. Bell who first show
