"HE Alps, ever the battle ground for the long
winded, strong-muscled steady-nerved noun
tain climber, have been conquered in new
way. Many peaks in Europe and America-the
Jungfrau in Switzerland and own Pixies Peak
in Colorado, for eXample-are today assembled by
rail. But the latest in the subjugaton OF the old
time inaccessible upper regions of the earth con-
sists in railless track, making the very eagles
nest no longer impossible of approach to
those most fearful and helpless in high places
This most curious and extraordinary OF all rail
ways, if railway it can be properly termed has
recently been built and put into operation on the
Wetterhorn famous peak of the Bernese Alps,
achieving elevation of -, $50 feet As it is but
fourteen miles southeast of the very popular sum-
mer resort OF Interaken, the Wetterhorn is an
nually visited by thousands of tourists, very few
OF whom however, have ever essayed the feat oil
scaling it's sides to the Handicapped summit.
The line does not, yet, extend to the great
elevation of two miles, but this feat will
doubtless be accomplished in due time by the in
genious and daring engineers. Plans are already
under foot to complete the ascent of the Jungfrau
and Mont Blanc by this method.
Two cars are used at time on section of the
line. While one is ascending the other is descend
ing. Each car is carried on an independent sys-
TEN of cables. In accident should hap
pen to the controlling apparatus while the is
in mid-air, the vehicle may be brought to stop
by safety brakes acting the cables themselves.
The steadiness of these is truly remarkable.
Even in storm, when the valleys are filled with
thunder and the winds go roaring by, no undue
oscillation is perceptible.
Sixteen persons may be carried in
eight seated, and many more standing, after
the approved methods of the traction companies
in the largest of cities.
This line will give to the tourist almost
surpassed opportunity for viewing the magnificent
scenery of the Alpine country. AS the rises
higher and higher, the vista opens up and widens
out until the spectator is spelbound by the mag
nificence of the vast prospect before him.
The early feeling of fear that every one expert
in strong lesser degree the be-
gins to rise is quickly forgotten in the glory OF
however, the ascent may be said to be appalling.

itors, belchng forth from the building as ii
cry of fire had upset the level of all things, and
panic regned. The vanguard of dissolution ran
screaming out into the sunlit Streets shouting the
outcome, and then tore hurriedly away, like a
mass of madmen flying from judgment. The spell
which had bound the waiting ones outside was
broken, and the turbulent scenes from within were
re-enacted larger scale Dogged, glazing,
and sullen, the defeated Alaskan contingent came
out and drove itself into the swrling mass of eX-
cited people which had overwhelmed the officers
of the law and blocking the broad avenues
leading away to the heart of the city. Before the
swarmng outskirts of the mob had drifted past
the white house with its open squares and its
peaceful setting, hurrying away from
the monolithic building which housed the de-
partment and summonng to their aid all
those who might uphold the law. Wherever a
wire entered the city OF Washington hundreds OF
clamoring for the right to send mes

ly inexcrable and unalterable had been given.
Into the throng of carriages and ambulances
which, few minutes later, fought way to the
foot of the stairs before the lofty gray build
ing, the which had brought Grace Lester to
the scene driven to the very foreground and
into it stepped girl who walked as though in a
dream, yet comprehendng that her father had
been declared the nations choice
CHAPTER TX
THE special operator in the shanty Sandy
Hook spit looked up at the captain, who stood
at his elbow when the bulletin announcing the
decision from Washington was read, and saw that
the other officers were trying to extend condo
lences and that Tiger" Reilly alone was walking
backward and forward as if all men and all things
OF his immediate surroundings were plgmy parts
in the scheme of life.
Dick brushed his hand his eyes which
had been dmmed by seeplessness and worry,
shook himself loose from those around him. and
leaned the fimsy table, resting his shout

Mountain Climbing by Proxy

The car appears to be tiny thing in space hang
ing from supports seemingly as fine and fragile
as the gossamer threads spun by spiders.
But engineers give assurance that the line is
absolutely safe, and the word of European engi-
neer especially if it be that of Swiss or German,
usually be relied upon.

utive of the state, although ILL., had issued positive
instructions that he to be carried to the state
capitol at certain hour of the day on which
these certificates were issued and that the action
of the lieutenant governor was therefore, illegal;
that the latter did not have the right arbitrarily
to assume the highest office of the state under
such conditions. The contention on the other side
is that, if the governor were able at any time to
appear in person and exercise the prerogatives OF
his position, he should have done so; that the
lieutenant governor therefore, acted entirely with
in his right; furthermore, that the findings
corning the election disputes themselves justified
his issuance of the certificates
There rustic of excitement which, for
moment, drowned the speakers voice. Grace was
annoyed by the whispered loquacity of the women
next her. and she leaned far forward to indicate
her disapproval distinctly
Still another affidavit" the voice continued ode
cares that the governor knew that the business
of state was being enacted, and that his previous
instructions and absence put him in the position
of chief executive actually outside the bounds
of his own state. In view of all these conflicting
declarations the evidence seems conclusive that
the popular vote of the state given in its ma
jority to the conservative party. Therefore, &C
tuated solely by fervent desire that justice with
out partisanshp should be DONE hereby declare
valid the votes of the electors named by the lieu
tenant governor of South Alaska, acting governor
pro tempore, and these shall be recognized by this
body. The clerk will announce the ballot"
Morgan Lester was elected.
BEFORE the president of the senate could resume
= his seat, the upheaval had come The senators
and representatives over-rode all rules of
mony and etiquette and danced wildly about
another indignant elated their personal at
titudes dictated. From end of the gallery,
twenty-five men arose to their feet and with fur
ous shouts OF triumph rather than jubilation,
shrleked their approval. From the other end, the
defeated delegation forgot itself in storm of OBJ
jurgations, fury and anethema, and in solid body
started out of the gallery, if forsakng the pre-,
cincts OF a place in which justice could not be
found. The gavel was being hammered up and
down in vain call for order, spnterng itself un-
der vigorous blows which, in the pandemonium OF
sound, We're unheard. Sergeantat-arms, obeying
the gestures of their chief officer, were struggling
here and there, trying to invoke order. Shouts of
Clear the gaeres!" were heard above this din.
Special correspondents from the press gallery
were madly fighting for egress and pages were
being tramped under foot Confused cries came
from behind Grace Lester of GIVE her air! For
Gods sake give her air She's fainted!" Men
We're striking madly now, in protection of their
own or in the heat OF personal anger. 1t riot

eXpectantly. Here and there man
smiled at his neighbor as though
predicting that both certificates
were to be invalidated, and the new
state robbed of it's voice in the mo-
mentous election. AS if to answer
that question, the speaker resumed
in the same hard, trenchant, in
cisive tones:
81 and those whom l have con-
suited he went on, have conclud-
ed that the central government has,
in the lack OF indubitable evidence
of fraud, no part whatever in the at,
fairs of individual states. The rights
and responsibilities of states are too
clearly defined to admit Of national
interference under such circum-
stances"
He lifted one of the sheets of pa
per in his right hand, and gesticu-
lated with it as he proceeded:
This" he said, lis document
signed by the lieutenant governor
OF the state, acting governor pro
tempore in the absence of the chief
executive, which declares that the
three electors representing the con-
sentative party are legally and duly
qualified to cast their ballots in con-
firmation of the popular majority
VOTE
His right hand fell to his side and
he lifted the left, which held the
other sheet.
And this is signed by the gov
ernor of the state, certifying that
the three electors representing the
liberal side are duly qualified"
He laid both sheets on the table
beside him, and the silence became
dramatic.
The men who have accompanied
the electors of the liberal party" he
continued, at last, "have presented af-

Evil of the Treating Habit

There is no doubt that much OF the
excessive drinking is due TO the silly
habit of treating. The folly OF it is
apparent, as is also its cause, which is
simply the moral cowardice which leads
one to conform to a meaningless con-
yentionality under penalty of suffering
in the estimation of those whose good
opinion is generally not worth having
in the first place. Like the tipping
evil, it is due to weakness that plainly
is not to be cured by legislation, for
mere law cannot save any man who
allows himself to get drunk or be robbed
rather than be thought stingy. Gus
tom makes almost as many towards as
Hamlet thought conscience did

M. f. Church Notes

The union service Sunday evening
was a profitable one and well attended.
Rev. WV. Davis preached the sermon,
which was inspiring and enjoyed by all.
Regular services next Sunday as
usual We are glad to welcome several
new members to our church fellowship
recently.
Both the Leavenworth and Peshastin
churches have received a donation of
$50 each toward the debt during the
past week. This reduces the indebt-
edness unprovided for in each case to
less than 500.
The Methodist ladies aid met We'd
nesday afternoon with Mrs. Rumohr.
There was a good attendance, and the
ladies enjoyed the afternoon. This
was the first meeting for several weeks,
but the meetings are to be held regu-
larly hereafter. The ladies are consid-
ering the project of necktie social in
the near future.

Seattle Work on the Lake Wash
ington ship canal, designed to give
Seattle a fresh water harbor will be
begun within 60 days. Major G. W.
Kutz, chief of United States engin-
GERS, has awarded the contract for
the preliminary excavations on the
proposed canal between Union Bay
and Lake Union.
The canal, when completed. will
be ~ feet wide at the bottom and
100 feet wide at the top and will be
about 1000 feet long. 1t will lower
