The o. R. & N. and Southern Pacific
have announced their fourth annual
California special train excursion to
leave Spokane January 9th, 1911, 8
p. m.
The success of these trips has been
phenomenal and can be attributed to
the excellent arrangements made by
the railroad company for the comfort
ard convenience of it's guests. The
train will consist of elegant Pullman
sleepers, diners and observation car.
Stops will be made at various interest
ing points en- route and short and en-
pertaining side trips taken. The price
of the round trip ticket includes every
expense on the going trip, such as
berth, all meals on dining car and at
the palatial hotels en- route. Each
ticket entities holder to a berth, which
means man and wife holding two
tickets have a full section in sleeper,

months.
An itinerary giving full description
of the trip can be had by addressing

Not Afraid,

Personal courage invests its owner
with a protection beyond that afforded
by outside forces. An illustration Of
this is recorded by General William F..
Draper in his "Recollections of Va
ried Career" where he gives this in
cident:
In 1854 Colonel Daniels of the Sew
enth Rhode Island became unpopular
with some of his command, and a
rumor spread that he would be shot
ut the next engagement. He heard Of
It. 1t was customary when guns had
been loaded for some time to have
them discharged into some convenient
bank, and Colonel Daniels took advan-
tage Of this. Marching his regiment
out with loaded rifles, he faced them
toward a suitable elevation, aud. TAX
ing position on the top of it and in
front of them as at dress parade. he
gave the commands. Ready" "Aim"
"FireW and the pieces were discharg-
ed.
Needless to say, any man could have
shot him with little danger Of discov-
cry, and. needless to say, also. none Of
them did There were no more threats
Of that kind in his regiment.
