JUST A LITTLE PLAY FOR 200
YOUNGSTERS.

An event of no sensational interest
occurred in Georgetown yesterday.
There were no imposing ceremonies.
There were only about 200 children
playing.
It may be we can't feel the effect on
our poeketbooks, we can't find in this
new playground any monument Of
architecture, we can't see in it any mo-
ment to society, but we can at least
look at it today with open eyes and
open hearts And if we do that We
shall realize, all of US, some of the
warming joy that comes OF helping
children, and foresee some of the
everlasting benefit that comes OF max
ing them strong.

BLECTRIfICaIION or GER
MAN RAILROADS.

For years We have all been talking of
49, time when steam would give way to
electricity for the purpose OF propelling
cars over railroads. Indications of
growing tendency in that direction in
this country have not been wanting.
One Of these is the increasing number
Of interurban electric lines. Another is
the growing number Of suburban lines
Of great railroad systems which are
being subjected 70 identification
It appears, however, the Germans are
going farther in the direction of gen
eral Identification OF their railroads
than we are. Consul Thomas II. Nor
ton has written an Illuminating report
from Chemnitz in which he deals with
this question. de says that for several
years German engineers have been
actively engaged in the preliminary
studies for an ultimate change to cleo
tricity as the motive power in ordinary
railway transportation both of pas
sengers and freight. He asserts the

According to Mr. Norton, exhaustive
inquiries have been made by experts
into the cost of conversion of the Ger

ENCOURAGING THE MILL
TANT SUFFRAGETTES.

When they asked Mrs. Pankhurst,
during a reception rendered her by the
Women's Equality Club in New Haven,
what she thought of throwing acid
around and burning election officers the
militant suTragette replied that she
thought men would do the same in
similar circumstances.
Il must say" she added, "the case Is
most interesting, and I shall watch its
developments with the utmost pleas
ure." The pleasure" must refer to the
fate Of the woman arrested for throw
ing the acid or of the officer taken to
the hospital with his sight endangered.
The acid throwing was the result of
plan adopted by the Women's Free
dom League to destroy the ballots at
the Bermondsey bye-electioR and 50
invalidate the contest because women
were not allowed to vote.
The question is how far the British
government, or any other government,
win let the sufragettes go without
drastic retaliation. In Manchester,
England, they felt obliged to play a
hose on a suffragette who had barred
the warders from her cell. Home Secre-
tary Gladstone, when he heard of the
incident, ordered the prisoners release.
That is the usual disposition in these
cases. Then, of course, the militant
ladies are encouraged to do their best
or Worst-again.

Men and Horse Injured

Wednesday morning two men work
ing for J. P. Berneck on the job of NOV
ing the Opera House, were injured by
the flying back of the sweep of the cap
stan. The team that had been doing
the work was being unlocked while
three men held the sweep. The ten
sion on the long cable was so great that
when it was released the sweep flew
backwards knocking over the men and
made a complete revolution striking one
of the horses. The men were bruised
about the shoulders and body and the
animal was struck at the knee breaking
one of the bones. The men Miller and
Stearns, were not seriously injured but
have not yet got back to work. The
horses leg was placed in plaster cast
with the hope of saving it, but it is
likely that it will be lame for life
This is the second horse Mr.. Be rneck
has lost in'i few months time.

IS A LARGE PROJECT
New Power Company Officials
Visit Newport
Are Planning Local improvements

Representatives of the Northern Idaho
and Montana Electric Light and Power
Co. were in the city Wednesday looking
after the interests of the company and
considering plans for the improvement
of the local service of the Northern Elec-
trio Co. They were O. E. Osthoff, vice.
president; H. H. Jones. general mana
ger for this section; Emil G. Braun,
chief engineer for Byllesby & Co., and
F. Y. Low, consulting engineer.
The company is at present having a
plat of Newport made laying out the
proposed distribution system for the
town. Several extensions are already
ordered, and it is the intention of the
company to reach all parts of the town
and keep pace in every way with its
growth. Their lines will be built in the
alleys wherever possible. The company
has also established an office and will
put in a stock of lamps, fixtures and
various modern electrical equipment
Engineers are now at work inspecting
four prospective water power sites, and
work of developing water power will be
started as soon as the engineers make
their report and plans can be drawn.
Whether the local plant will be rebuilt
or high tension wire strung into New
port is not as yet determined, as both
plans are being considered, but at any
rate the company promises speedy in
stallation of twenty-four hour service.
H. Nj. Byllesby & Co., promoters of
the proposition, are consulting engineers
for municipalities and corporations.
Among the plants that they manage are
the Mobile, Ala, Gas & Electric Co.. !;
Mansfield & GAINESVILLE Traction Co., of
Ohio; Ottumwa, Iowa, Gas, Electric
and Street Railway Co.; Oklahoma
City, Muskogee and Enid, Oklahoma,
Gas & Electric Companies, and the San
Diego, CAL, Gas and Electric Co.
The application of the company for a
fifty-year franchise for the Northern
Electric Co., of this city, will come be-
fore the council at its next regular
meeting. The gentlemen state that they
invite the closest investigation of their
financial standing and ability to carry
out the plans involved in the huge pro-
iect.

J Bringhoff and to transact other busi-
ness. The decision Of the Blackwell
people to erect the cement plant at the
mouth of Sullivan creek and build the
road down the east side below Box Can
yon, places the Silver Lead in easy reach
of transportation facilities.
The Sterling Silver Lead Co. has cut
through twenty feet of iron carbonate on
their Lost Cabin claim near Metaline.
The values have not been tested, but
the manager, Mr.. Warner, is highly
pleased over the project.
1t is reported that the Mammoth and
Morning Concentrator Co. is now in
shape to 60 ahead with the building of
a concentrator to handle the product of
their mines and that the work will be
started soon. The mines are located just
below Metaline Falls on the east side of
the river.
For some time title to the Metaline
townsite has been in dispute. Several
companies have made an attempt to get
title to the ground by patenting it as
mineral or cement ground, but have
failed. The latest move is the scripping
of the townsite by Spokane parties. and
hearing on their application will be
held shortly at the land Office in Spo-
kane. II they succeed inrgetting title
they will promote a townsite, put in
electric lights, water works, etc. J. Z.
Bettancourt, of Cement, is contesting
their application on the claim that the
ground carries mineral.
