oDJect and was nerved to play his part until the gun should be disposed of.
 "l wouldn't go in there if l were you, MT. Sommers," he suggested. "Mr. Pinckney's in there with girl"
 Sommers had been about the works long enough to know Pinckney's repu. tation among the men, but this open Haunting in their very faces was worse than anything he had imagined.
 "Who is it?" he asked contemptuous- ly.
 q think it's Smiths daughter, Lu- cy," hesitated Marsh.
 Sommers' face famed with anger. He understood now. he thought, why Pinckney had been willing to leave Smith on the job, even though he was drunk. IL all seemed simple. Smith must buy immunity from punishment in this shameful fashion.
 Contempt for Pinckney and rage thaC he should run the risk of being ruined by the dirty work of such men reused Sommers to fierce anger. He turned back and ran again up the steps to the little office, knocking fiercely this time on the door.
 "Pinckney. come out of there at once!' he shouted.
 The command was so fiercely given the general manager could not but obey. He opened the door, coming out slowly and, in response to Sommers gesture of command, followed him down the steps.
 Frances, her face partly covered with the shawl, came after Pinckney At the bottom of the steps the naval officer turned on the manager of the works with fierce contempt
 "No wonder you keep Smith drunk on the jobr' he exclaimed. Haven't you got sense of shame enough not to take his daughter in that office before all these meug"
 Plnckney understood the mistake. but 1t was anything to gain time now
 What business Is that of yoursf" he retorted algrily.
 Well, IT! make 1t my business" came the eerce reply. Its my busi- ness when such conduct threatens to ruin my work as well as ruin a girls name. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Now. get her out quick Then take Smith off this job"
 He turned his back contemptuously on Pinckney aud the girl just in time to meet the blazing. wrathful face of Joe oLeary.
 The assistant foreman had been fixed up by the doctor and now, with a bandaged head. had rn'rrned to the works just In time to see i'inckucy and the girl with Sommers at the bottom of the steps. O'Leary, too, mlsunder- stood.
 "Mr. Pinckney," he yelled. watch me! l cross myself. l know what you've done to others. but you cant q, il to my girl. l cross myself, and with it goes an oath that I'm going to kill you with my bare hands,"
 He rushed forward. and Pinckney jumped back before his fierce attack. But escape would have been hopeless had not Frances. throwing back the shawl from her head, stepped in be tween, so that she faced both Som- mers and OLeary.
 The wounded O'Leary stopped. aghast.
 Miss Durant" he said slowly fin amazement. Sonmers stared. startled, not knowing what to say Then he say the expression on the mems faces, and that forced him to speak

once, for the sake of o'Leary and fhasa man

once, for the sake of OLeary and these men.'
 Pinckney shrugged his shoulders.
 There's nothing to explain" he said. Miss Durant wanted to see the Som mers gun made, and she borrowed one of Lucy Smiths dresses so as not to excite comment. that's all."
 His tone was cool, collected, with just touch of surprise in 1t that any explanation would be needed.
 O'Leary stepped back awkwardly.
 'Yes, sir. beg your pardon for me hasty speech"
 The general manager turned to Frances.
 Come! Let's go. Frances"
 The girl had been looking at Son. mers and he at her. Both knew that something more was needed. Some thing more must be said before the perfect understanding between them could be restored.
 Finally. with half sigh, she turned and started to walk away. Sommers stepped close to Pinckney.
 If you don't explain aloud at once why you attempted to put Miss Du- rant in an awkward position by lock- ing that door I'll break your head. How dared you lock that door? You with your reputation about these works! Speak"
 "rhe door wasn't locked" retorted Pinckney aloud
 Frances heard. She stopped short, her face flushed with shame. Was 1t possible that Sommers thought there was anything wrong in her being there? Then anger at herself for com ing and at him for letting himself pro- yoke scene swept her to action. She turned and stepped back quickly to the two men.
 Don't say word. Mir. Pinckney." she ordered sharply. ''l forbid you to speak. Lieutenant Sommers can think for a moment what his manner seems to imply refuse to give him any explanation. l must also refuse to even see him in the future"
 Sommers looked at her aghast
 Miss Durant you don't under stand" he exclaimed.
 The girl looked him coldly up and down.
 "I do understand. NIT. Sommers. Good day" And. turning, she walked quickly away
 Sommers looked after her for moment, then. seeing the hopeless ness of the misunderstanding. turned back to the furnaces. AS he did so for the first time he noticed his gun being transferred to the tempering bath.
 Here! Whats this?" he shouted. But before he could say more Smith had stepped in front of him.
 The foreman was wild with drunk en glee now. He had won. he felt, and there was nothing to do but hold Sommers or minute longer
 "What do you think of it now?" he shouted. Your girl was locked up with him. wasn't she? Lots of chance you stand against the general man ager when she'll lock herself in the office with him.'
 As the last jeering word came out Sommers swung wildly. Smith stag gered, then came back with the iron bar raised. In an instant he had brought it crashing down upon the lieutenants head. Then. as the naval officer fell, in rage Smith bent over and seized glm.
 What are you doingf" shouted Pinckney
 But Smith. insane from rage and the sight of blood, was beyond managing

He lifted the hdlt ddzcd sailor and stag gercd tcith him t0i0drd dn open furnace. He lifted the half dazed sailor and staggered with him toward an open furnace.
 Naval men are used to hard knocks. Sommers came to. He had lodged partly. and the bar caught him only a glancing blow Now he realized his danger and with desperate effort tore himself loose. ' Smith had dropped the bar. It was an even thing now. Wildly the fore man rushed, but stra -ht left stop- ped him, and then fierce right upper cut, delivered close, brought him to his knees.
 He arose only to meet another swing that dropped him senseless, and as he fell his head struck the ground just under the big trip hammer.
 The hammer was cominy down when Sommers with quick jerk dragged his man out just in time. Then as he stood above his senseless antagonist he heard the voice of Pinckney joyous ly trimphant:
 "All right. The Sommers gun is in the bath"
 The dirty trick had been safely turned.

Lewiston Man Visits Salmon and
Gives Theories.
VALUABLE DATA GIVEN
Transit Man Tells of Bridges,
Tunnels etc.

Professor III. L. Talkington of
the State Normal School at Lew
iston, Idaho, who has just return
ed from visit at Salmon City,
makes the following comment rel
ative to activities of the Pitts
burg Gilmore railroad in the Sal
mon river country:
"The northwest has not for
many day had a greater rail
road conundrum than that of the
road leading from Armstead, in
Mont, to Salmon City, Idaho,
and known as the Pittsburg-Gil-
more road.
1.-THE chief engineer disclaims
all knowledge of the company
for whom he is working; the
leading contractor is equally en-
phatic about who is paying the
bills, and the bank, through
which the business of the com
pany is transacted, asserts that
they are as much in the dark as
either of the parties mentioned.
There are three pretty well
defined theories as to the iden-
tity of the road-it is either the
Chicago & Northwestern, the O.
X. Il N. or the Northern Paci-
fic.. The chief argument advanc-
ed in favor of the first theory
is, that it is a transcontinenta
road which now has its termin-
al point in Wyoming, and the
Salmon river route is the most
logical. For the second theory
the fact is cited that the OR. 4
n. and is in the territory of this
road. But the fact that the Short
lime people had surveyors on the
Salmon river last summer who
were waging spirited war with
the surveyors of the Pittsburg
people for choice of location,
would seem to dispel this theory.
The theory that has the largest
number of advocates, who pro-
duce the strongest argument, is
that the road is a link in the
Northern Pacific branching off
from the main line at Whitehall,
Mont, and connecting with it's
main line again at Pasco, reach
ing Portland and Tacoma from
this point.
TO complete this line three
gaps must be filled, one of about
lOO miles from Three Bridges to
Armstead, the second from Sal
mon to Grangeville is something
over 200 miles, and the third is
the gap between Lewiston and
Rlparia of about rs miles. By
Illllng in these gaps the North
ern Pacific will save from fifty
TO seventy-five miles in distance
over their present route and have
water grade for the entire
distance.
When one departs from own
ership to that of the construc-
ton of the road he departs from
the realm of theory to one of
Tact. He MAY see all phases OF
work carried on, from that of
the ballasting crew near Arm
stead to that of the engineers
who are just starting in the per-
manent survey on down the riv-
er toward Lewiston from Sal
mon. This work is being done

Ray Minis, of Cottonwood, Asked
~ Restraining Order.
ELECTION HELD VALID
Judge Steele Decides Petition
Was in Proper Form.

A short time ago an action was
brought by Raymond A. Minis of
Cottonwood, against j. M. Gill
more, as prosecuting attorney of
Idaho county, and other county
officials, to restrain them from
enforcing the local option law.
The case was argued at Moscow
shortly after and last week in
response to an order made by
the court, the defendants sub
mitted a brief setting forth their
position and citing authorities
sustaining the same.
In denying the writ, Judge
Steele, in part said:
1t is argued that the order
of the Board ordering the cleo
ton is void, for the reason that
the order of the board ordering
the election does not state that
each petitioner signed his own
name. The order does state, how
ever, that an affidavit has been
made showing that each person
signed his own name, as is re.
quired by law.
The Court feels that this is suf-
ficient, the authorities holding
that the question to be determin-
ed from the order of the board
in so far as the question is con-
cerned, is whether proper Pc
tition was filed. 1t is urged, also
that the order of the board fails
to show that the affidavit of the
electors is in proper form in that
it fails to show that the person
making the affidavit is a free
holder.
1.-The order itself, is made
part of the agreed statement of
facts, and shows that the affi-
ants were freeholders, and the
statute says that the board must
consider the affidavit proof of
the facts therein stated. 1t does
not say that they may consider
them as evidence of the fact,
but the statute is so worded as
to make, the affidavits proof of
the fact.
1T is lastly urged that no no.
tice of holding the election, as
required by law was given. The
statute provides that the notice
shall be the same as in gener-
al elections, and as upon the sub
mission of questions to be voted
upon. No publication whatever
was made in any newspaper, and
none is required, in SO far as the
holding of general election Is
concerned, but the statute does
require that when a question is
to be submitted to the voters, a
notice of the question to be sub
mitted shall be published in at
least two weeks of the issue Of
some paper published in the
county. The agreed statement of
facts show that several newspap-
ers in the county published the
question to be submitted to the
voters, and that the question was
thereby directly made known to
the voters of Idaho county. In
view of the fact that the statute
prescribes no form of question
to be propOunded to the voters,
and in view of the fact that it
| is agreed that whatever the form
! of the question is to be, it was
directly presented by the news
papers 10 every voter in the
county, the court thinks that
this position of the plaintiff is
not tenable, after an election has
been held. and when it is not
claimed any voter was misled or
failed to be properly informed,
but when it is expressly shown
that each voter was informed on
the question to be voted on. The
