TRAINS STILL TIED UF
NO MOVEMENT FROM KANSAS CITY

Due to Heavy Fall of

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 12.-With
the main line of the Missouri Pacific
railroad between Kansas City and St,
Louis congested because of the great
number Of trains of other railroads de-
toured over it in an effort to reach Chi
cago, railroad traffic between Kansas
City and Chicago today was practically
at a standstill.
The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
road had annulled all of it's Chicago
morning trains and the Burlington and
Rock Island officials were making no
promises to passengers as to arrival time
in Chicago. The two latter roads were
detouring via st. Louis. Western trains
were on scheduled time.
Heavy rains fell during the night be-
tween Manhattan and Clay Center,
Kan, in the Kansas river watershed
These rains will have a tendency to
cause slight rises along the river within
the next thirty-siX hours.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 12.-With the
Mississippi river gauge reading 31.9 feet
today, the government weather bureau
predicted 33.5 feet for tomorrow and "a
feet for Wednesday. The water backed
into the buildings along the levees.
Across the river on the Illinois side the
low lands were flooded, and the rise
Wednesday will destroy property. The
Missouri Pacific and Rock Island are
the only roads operating in Missouri on
their own tracks. Other roads are de-
touring their trains and are averaging

CHAPTER 1

Mrs. Sayv1lle had stayed unusually
long In town, and, at the moment cho-
sen to open this story, was sitting at
the writing-table in her private room,
a richlyfurnished and luxurious apart
ment with yellow brocade curtains and
staiCedglass windows. She was a
small, slight woman, with regular, del
icate features, quick, dark eyes, and
hair nearly white, combed back and
6urmounted by tiny cap Of exquisite
lace with a tuft of scarlet velvet rib
bon. The small thin hand which held
her pen was loaded with rings that
flashed and glittered even in the sub
dued sunshine, while the other gently
caressed the head of a small, silky,
pearl-colored dog which lay on chair
beside her.
She was speaking with fair, large
lady about her own age, who occupied
an arm chair at the other side Of the
table, and who was rather gorgeously
attired in outdoor dress.
II am sure I interrupt you. You
are always so busy" said the latter,

no inclination to move.
Il do not mind being interrupted
this morning" returned Mrs Saville,
not too graciously; "my eyes are very
tiresome. They smart so when I read
or write for any time. I really must
get an amanuensis."
rs 1t possible? I should never sus-
pect your eyes of being weak. They
seem strong enough and sharp enough
to see through anything"
Thank you; they have served my
purpose we'll enough"
When do you leave town."
Il am not quite sure. I do not care
to go until Hugh returns He ought to
be here now. This scare about trouble
with Russia may bring him his ap-
pointment to a ship any day, and he
ought to be on the spot He has been
ashore now for nearly year"
Il wonder he chose the navy" said
the visitor. IT should think the army
must be much the most agreeable pro-
fession."
My dear Lady olivia! who can ac-
count for young mans vagaries? My
son IS positively enthusiastic about his
profession. He is very scientific, you
know, and will. I have no doubt rise
to great eminence."
oh, I dare say he is very clever,
but he Is not a bit like other young
men. I confess I do not understand
him"
No" returned Mrs. SavilIe, with
much composure, 81 don't suppose you
do"
Not clever enough myself, eh?"
said Lady Olivia, with a good-humored
smile. Where Is this bright particu
lah star of yours just now?"
When he last wrote he was still
at Nice. He has stayed on there too
long, I think. I trust and hope he
does not visit Monte Carlo too often;

ton for introducing Hugh to his gam
bling friends there"

cred eligible acquaintance for the
young and inexperienced, especially
when they have pretty daughters who
sing like angels-or prima donnas,
she added, with comfortable laugh.

flash Of anger In her keen black eyes,

nonsense"

The Northwestern immigration
Association, a publicity bureau
covering the northwest, has estab-
lished headquarters at the Pacific
hotel, adjoining the Oregon Short
Line depot, at Pocatello. The large
front room of the hotel will be
used as a permanent exhibit room
of Idaho products Long tables
will be supplied with literature and
will be in charge of a well quail
fed person who will attend to the
distribution of matter for all sec
tions. The thousands Of home
seekers that pass through Pocatello
every day will thereby become ac-
quainted with the opportunities
and needs Of the different commu-
mites. The homeseekers names
and addresses will be registered

AS A DEMONSTRATION
COST WILL NOT BE AS HIGH
AS EXPECTED

1t is now beginning to look as
though something tangible in the
way of good country roads will
soon be accomplished in Canyon
county. From every nook and
corner comes word oil the awaken
ing of the people to a sense of the
necessity and desirability of negot-
table public highways. The cam
paign of education waged through
outthe country is commencingto
bear fruit. The people everywhere
are interested and it will not be long
now before we will have before us
a practical demonstration OF the
utility and benefits of good roads
In Caldwell we have with US Mr.
b. f. Heidel, a government expert
on the subject. He proposes to
build mile Of model country road
as an illustration of what can be
done with the material available at
a reasonable cost. The Tribune is
convinced that the cost question
was ever a bugaboo in the minds
of the people and taxpayers. 1t is
necessary to convince the people
that good roads are a purchased
investment at any cost. 1t is more
necessary to convince that good
road. Good roads might be a pay.
ing investment at a cost of $4,000
In this country Of magnificent dis
tances, sparce settlements and new
people, it is essential that the Cost
of good roads be low. We are con
WINGED that the people will fine
the cost of first-class country roads
much lower than they antipate.

Great Northern Fast Mail

The Great Northern fast mail
recently completed a thirty-three
days record in maintenance of
forty eight-hour schedule from St.
Paul to Seattle. Not only has the|
train been able to keep within the
time limit on every run. but it in
variably has been travelling under
the schedule about half an hour
daily. Officials assert that the
Great Northern fast mail is the
fastest long distance train in oper-
alton in the world at present, and
the record Of the past thirty-three
days is regarded as remarkable.
1t is pointed out that the schedule
maintained by the Great Northern
via st. Paul is three hours shorter
than that maintained by the Har-
riman lines from Omaha to San
Francisco, the distance being COM
paratively the same.
st. Paul is now the gateway for
most of the mail for Western states
Alaska and Oriental ports. There
is now brought this way all the
mail that originates in the states
east of the Mississippi river and
north of the Ohio river. Much of
the mail from this territory used
to be sent by way of Omaha but was
diverted this way when the Great
Northern established its superior
service.
The government with weigh the
mails in this district for three
months, beginning in February tc
ascertain the basis for payment
for mail transportation TOR the
next four years. 1t is to get this
contract that the Great Northern
is maintaining its forty hour SER

OUR SYMPATHY
 BUT NOT OUR ASSISTANCE.

While this paper freely expresses It's opinions on all matters of legisla- ton, yet we feel that the Democratic
 majority of the legislature is exer- cising it's best judgment to enact laws that will be beneficial to every public interest. It cannot be charged that the Democratic members are incom. potent or irresponsible men, as some of Arizona's ablest and most deserv- ing citizens are ip the lawmaling
 body. men who rank high in the business and professional world. men of character and standing. and it is absurd for either Governor Kibbey or his Republican friends to assert that these men are enacting laws detri' mental to the best interest of Arizona, While we shall not seek to deny that some of their acts can justly be at tributed to political motives, we be lieve that such enactments will re dcund to the best interests Of the people of Arizona.
 The minority party always has a grievance: the under dog usually has bite coming; no party can watch it's emoluments slipping from its grasp without feeling that it is. being in jured; no man can be, expected to en- dorse a proposition that diverts his fees or salary from his pockets into that of territorial or county treasury: such sentiments are not wholly hu- man. and while such salary diver sion may greatly benefit the tax paying public, yet tho man who is being subjected to such pressure will naturally resent it and claim that jus tice is not being meted cut to him. This is the condition of the shrieking, office holding brigade who see in the enaetments cf the Democratic major ity lessening of their emolume nts. We sympathize with the fellow who is with the memorable steam roller, yet we realize that such en- actments are very beneficial to the taxpaying public, hence are in the interest of public justice

There is a well grounded suspicion that Coi. Sturges will have something to say about who will be the next Governor of Arizona Col. Sturges has many strong friends working in Arizona for his appointment and besides his home friends he has strong influences fa the national Republican organization working in his behalf.
