BONDS SOLD, ROAD BUILDS
Completion of Nez Perce & Idaho b,
March Likely.

Lewiston. Idaho.-Bonds to the am
cunt of s125.000 were floated in Chi
cago Thursday to provide funds for
the completion of the Nez Perce &
Idaho Railroad. extending from Nez
Perce to Vollmer, g miles.
The construction of this road was
begun IS months ago by u. A. John
son~of Nez Perce. He completed the
grading. the bridges and the first mile
of track last summer, eXpending ap-
proximately 100000 of his own funds
but because of delays in securing ma
terial and financial disappointments,
he was unable to complete the line in
time to claim a $4,000 bonus offered
by the farmers of the country to be
served.
The rails will be ordered at once,
and it is expected the road will be
in operation March /. During the
past summer three large warehouses
have been erected along the right OF
way. and more than 500 bushels OF
grain are now in storage awaiting
| Transportation. The road will pene-
trate the heart of the NeZ Perce prai-
rie country. and will connect with the
Camas Prairie Railway company at
Vollmer.

CLAWS ATTENDS TRIAL
But REMAINS SILENT

Spokane. Dec. 6.-Mum as an oys-

the hearing. though at all times pleas
ant and smiling, Former Special
Agent L. r CLAWS of the United
States land office is an intrested
spectator of the Cunningham coal
cases now being heard in Spokane.
Although his name is spoken every
few minutes. by either attorneys or
witnesses, and although he procured
practically all of the evidence upon
which the government is prosecuting
the case, CLAWS is now an outsider so
far as the hearing is concerned. lie

CLAWS usually enters the room
shortly after the hearing begins, tax
ing an obscure rear seat and remains
session. Many of the casual specta-
tors ask to have him pointed out to
them. and occasionally one will in
troduce himself or ask to be intro
duced to "the man who kicked up All

deferentially courteous, but through
all of his conversations he maintains
an unbroken silence regarding all
features of the pending trial

DAYTON TEACHERS WENT
UPON GENERAL STRIKE

Dayton, Wash, Dec. 6.-School
troubles have stirred this town to the
foundations Of its social organization
Because two students at the high
school, Glenn Samuel and Crank Bar
clay, were insubordinate and mis-
chievous. as is alleged, the superin-
tendent of the public schools, l.. V.
Beaulieu, suspended them. This
brought on a storm, and in the stress
of censure from the school board the
superintendent resigned.
Then the entire corps of teachers
also quit in sympathy with its super
ior. The school board was in the act
of offering the position of superin-
tendent to Albert Livengood when the
news of the teachers strike came. All
the high school teachers demanded
the cancellation of their contracts.
The melting of the directors broke UP
soon under pressure of the heated
discussion. A later meeting was held
and through arbitration the closing
q the high school was prevented.
TIE striking teachers were sunu1oUeu
before the board and the whole af-
fair was gone over. Finally the
teachers admitted they had been a
trifle hasty They said they believed
the board was condonlng insubordi-
nation on the part of the students
and did not now Beauieu had asked
practically for the expulsion of the
two boys

FRANCE TO IMMORTALIZE
ACTRESS ON WAR MODEL

s-Ferdinande Dubois, a beau
tiful actress of the Opera Cimique is
to be immortalized on a French war
model. just as LA Belle Stewardt'
one of the court beauties of the Re-
storation, is represented today as
Britannit on the English coinage.
AS a typical Parisienne, Mile. Du-
bois has been chosen to grace the
decoration for French heroes of the
Morocco campaign. Her piquaint pro-
file is regarded as more suitable for
twentieth century war medal than
the conventional severe classical head.
About $4,000 of these medals will
ho struck, and the reverse win bear a

military emblems and the word

settled by Judge Il. p. Boise over ten
years ago. At the time the case was
settled no mention was made of the
support of two children, issue of the
marriage. In recent complaint 1t is
asked by the defendants counsel that
support be given the minor children
until such time as they reach major
ity. and that settlement be made on
the same basis for the years interven-
ing since the settlement of the suit,
during which time no provision was
made for the support Of the issue.
Judge Galloway stated that the divorce
case, as far as final settlement of the
decree is concerned, is closed and past
but as to responsibility for the cucc or
the children there can be no Limitation
set.
The case has been taken under ad-
visement.

AMERICANS ARE
ART SMUGGLERS
ITALY WILL STOP
DESPOHING OF GALLERIES
Royal Commission Appointed TO In
vcstigatc Frauds-New &. S. Tariff
Law Makes SmuggIer's Work Easy
-ScoundreIs Threatened.

Rome.--As a result Of the startling
discoveries made, a royal commission
has been appointed to investigate
frauds in the expectation of works OF
art, and the Minister of Public Edu-
cation has decided TO reorganize the
expectation department of the Bureau
OF Fine Arts.
Since the passage Of the new tariff
bill in the United States admitting
free all works Of art more than twenty
years old, Italy has been ransacked
collectors and dealers. Their mission
seemed to be to buy up the best every
where and to shift the art market
from Paris and London to New York
and Chicago. What ultimately
stirred the italian government to ac-
ton was the discovery that English
collectors had bought two genuine
Tiepotos for an American multimil-
lionaire, whose gallery is well known
in New York. The government seized
the pictures at Genoa, while being
smuggled through to London.
At the same time a civil action
brought in Florence for commissions
by a canon against Monsignor Romed,
the apostolic prothonotary, revealed
the fact that the monsignor long had
been engaged in the expectation OF
works of art bought through the can
on at ridiculous prices in the neigh
borhood of Florence and resold to
English and American dealers. The
trial threatened to precipitate big
scandal and this prompted high dig
nitaries of the church to intervene
The case was privately settled out OF
court.
These disclosures led to a shakeup
in the expectation department. Minis
ter Rava has removed three commits
sioners in charge of the office and it
is probable that the golden days OF
the art smugglers who have been strip
ping Italy of her works Of aTl are
over. Meanwhile the antiquaries in
Rome are telling fine stories of sales
made under the smuggling regime to
American buyers. They declare that
they sent up the prices on most in
significant things to extravagant fig
ures. Two hand-carved wooden
benches of the thirteenth century,
found in the attic of a Roman princes
palace were bought for $1,000, and
sold few days later for $4,000 to a
New York millionaire.

ENORMOUS LOSS IN
COAL CONSUMPTION
PROFESSOR MAKES TESTS
SHOWING COLOSSAL WASTE
Ninety Million Tons of Coal Burned
In Locomotives in 1006-Losses
Could BE Reduced by Scientific
Usage.

Washington. Ninety million tons
OF coal, one-flfth of the total produc-
tion OF the country were consumed
by the $1,000 locomotives in the
United States in 1906 in hauling the
freight and passenger trains. This
fuel cost the railroad companies
$170,500,00
This enormous consumption of
coal by the railroads led the United
States geological survey to conduct
a series of tests on a locomotive to
determine whether or not there
could be saving tothe country in the
amount of fuel used and the results
have just been announced.
Professor w. F. NJ, Goss, now dean
OF the University of Illinois, who had
charge of the experiments makes the
statement that of the total 90,000,-
900 tons of coal used. 10,S00,000 tons
are lost through the heat in the gases
that are discharged from the stacks
of the locomotives; S,640. 600 tons are
lost through cinders and sparks; g.
100000 tons are lost through uncon-
sumed fuel in the ashes; and 100000
tons are lost through the incomplete
combustion of gases. In addition,
100000 tons are consumed In
starting fires, in moving the loco
motive TO its train, in backing trains
into or out of sldings and in keeping
the locomotive hot while standing.
Under ideal conditions Of opera
tion," says Prof Goss, much of the
fuel thus used could be saved, and 1t
is reasonable to expect that the nor
NAL process of evolution in railroad
practice will tend gradually to bring
about somereduction in the con-
sumption thus accounted for. The
loss represented by the heat of dis
charged gases offers an attractive
field 10 those who would improve the
efficiency OF the boiler. The fuel loss
in the form Of e!ndters passing out Of
the stack is very large and may read
ily be reduced A sure road to i'm
provement in this direction lies in an
increased CRATE area. Opportunities
for incidental saving are to be found
in improved flame ways such as are
to be procured by the application OF
brick arches and other devices. Such
losses may also be reduced by great
er care in the selection of fuel and In
the preparation of. the fuel for the
service in which II is used. II is not
unreasonable to expect that the en-
tire loss covered by this item VIII in
time be overcome. Tne fuel Whlch
is lost by dropping through CRATES
and mingling with the ashes is fac
tor that depends on the CRATE design
on the characteristics of the fuel, but
chiefly on the degree of care eXer-
cised in managing the fire More
skillful firing would save much of the
fuel thus accounted for.
