Prof Alexander Graham Bell. inventor Of the
telephone. who has been engrossed for several
years past in experiments with kites formed from
tetrahedral cells and who has latterly designed
a manlifting kite that has made some wonderful
performances has included wireless telegraphy as
one branch of his kite Investigations. For this
telegraphc work he has employed a kite of com
paratively modest size, preceded by a small pilot
kite, and these have usually been flown at height
of about 1000 feet. The kites carry aoft tele.
graphic equipment in the form of ordinary green
electriclight cord to the upper end or receiving
terminal of which is attached 400 feet of antennae
wire. The telegraph operator Is stationed close by
the reel of piano wire-the point from which the
kite is sent up.
DR.. Bell has had the cooperation in these ex-
periments of Mr.. De Forest, inventor of the wire
less telegraphy system which bears his name, as
well the aid of other wireless telegraphy experts
The original kite messages via the artificial birds
sent aloft by Dr. Bell were transmitted distance
of only six miles, but gradually this increased
until the transmission attained hundreds of miles
and included the exchange of aerograms with
steamers more than 100 miles at sea. In one ex-
pertinent the telegraph operator caught the mes
sages after passage through the bodies of two men
who stood at the side of the receiving instrument
The men casped hands and grasped the tele-
graph wire from the kite with his free hand while
the other held In his the receiving instrument

WHO TOOK AWAY THAT ROPE?
What Might Have Happened and
What Did Happen.

The high water of March l washed out
big hole on Thorn street alongside of
the Duchemin school building. Ropes
we're placed across the street at each end
OF the block to stop travel, but by some
means the rope at the west end must
have been removed, for j. L. Neil, who
drove in Monday night at the midnight
hour from Diamond, went kersIam,
horses, buggy and all into this hole, no
rope being across the street to stop him
and Mr.. Neil not knowing the condition
OF things. He aroused some of the
neighbors to get assistance, when it was
found that one horse was on top OF the
other, both animals fighting and plung-
ing to extricate themselves. One borse
was gotten out without great difficulty,
but it was found necessary, in order to
extricate the horse underneath, to get a
team, block and tackle and pull him out
by that means. The equine is not con-
sidered OF much value at this writing,
although he may recover.
The question is, who took away that
rope?

INLAND R. R. WILL BE
IN COLFAX IN 10 DAYS
Hard Hit by High Water at This
End of the Line.
Four Bridges Gone and Lengths of
Roadbed Washed Away Between
Here and Harpoie- t Terminal Ar
rarsements Not Made Known.

The Inland will be running into Colfax
again In about 10 days. A force of men
has been steadily at work from where
the road strikes the PalOuse River valley,
opposite the Harpole farm, pushing this
way, and are expected to reach the fair
ground by Saturday night. It will take
several days to put in a temporary
bridge above the fair ground and to re-
pair the trackage as well as two more
bridges before entering Colfax.
The Inland was hard hit over this part
OF the line by the recent high waters.
The bridge over the Palouse river where
it first strikes the valley was carried
away. Two bridges, one at each end Of
the tunnel, were carried to the bone yard,
and the bridge above the fair ground
was whirIed to destruction. These have
or will be replaced by temporary struct-
ures. The trackage lin places is washed
out in great lengths, and the road
bed most of the distance was and is in
sorry plight. Piling has been driven in
spots to take the place Of dirt filling, the
tunnel, through which the water rushed
at the height Of the flood, being cleared
OF slickens and debris, making this end
the scene of activity for the next few
days.
In regard to depot facilities here to
replace that carried away, Agent Abbott
was not able to say anything definitely
Wednesday when seen by a representa-
tive of The Gazette. What is done now
is of a temporary character to get cars
running into Colfax as soon as possible.
Of course one hears many rumOrs OF
the road changing its route TO enter the
city, but it can be safely stated that this
is idle talk, the company not having
definite plans at this writing in regard to
the matter. To change the route would
mean not to enter the valley until the
city is reached, following the high en-
bankment above. 1t would also mean
the abandonment of the tunnel, 600 feet
in length, and bridges and roadbed
along the banks OF the river.
