The well-to-do men of Chicago,
who live in Lake Forest and the
other suburbs along the lake shore,
have been so impressed with the
success OF the Curtiss hydro-aero-
plane in the Chicago International
Aviation meet, that they already
are speculating as to when they can
substitute a hydro for their auto
mobiles in getting to and from their
Offices The ease with which this
airship ascends either from land or
water, or descends upon either land
or water, or travels through the air
or on the waters surface br on land
makes these speculations seem
grounded upon probability. 1t has
been the most interesting feature of
the meet. Glenn H. Curtiss, the Gre
ator OF the hydro-aeroplane which
he calls the Triad" thinks it entire
" probable that such crafts will be
IN use by many private "yers before
long. THE hydro.aeroplane" ne
SAYS, "robs aviation of half its dam
gers and add to the pleasures of fly
ing a hundred fold Ii can fly sixty
miles an hour, skim the water at 90
miles, and run over the earth at 80
miles. On the water it can pass the
fastest motor boat and responds to
its rudder more quickly than any
water craft. The timid may become
successful aviators, the man of busi-
ness as well as the practical mechan-
ic Whether soaring above land or
sea the operator of a hydro-aero-
plane may always feel sure of safe
landing either upon land or water.
Fear, the one thing that has laid a
restraining hand on the sleeve of
many a man eager TO fly, need no
longer be a hindrance 10 the pro-
gress OF the aeroplane's popularity"

Child Killed by the Train.

One of the saddest accidents of our
section in many years was the kill
ing of the little 2l2 year-old son of
b. B. Pulleu by the south bound
train, on the 25th, as mentioned
briefly last week.
The little one had wandered of,
presumably in search e his father
who was on a visit to Bellcfonte,
and had crawled through an open
ing in the wire fence and walked
down the railroad track 10 a culvert
near hall a mile from its home
1t had been missed at home and
both its mother and brother were
hunting for it when the train
whistled.
According to the statement of En-
gineer Clayton, he saw the baby sit
ting on the bridge as the engine
came around the curve. but the
down grade there and the obstruct-
ed sight because of the curve, made
the warning so short that there
was no time to save the little life.
Mr.. Clayton did everything left in
his power to do and then closed his
eyes to a sight of the inevitable
The deepest sympathy Of our peo-
pie goes out to MIR Pullen and fam
ily in their terrible bereavement.
The loss. under such shocking cir
cumstances. of little one around
whose life their tenderest affections
twined, is trial the most severe
that comes to humanity.

MINING INDUSTRY IN
BINGHAM COUNTY

Extract from the ninth annual re-
port OF the mining industry of Idaho,
by Robert N. Bell inspector OF
mines, for the year 19O4-07:
Bingham county produced gold bull
lion to the value of $4,360 during the
year 1904, a, good portion Of this
amount was NO doubt produced from
small sMicing operations along the
finG gold bars, THAT border the Snake
river, in the vicinity of Rhckfsot,
the county seat, and the balance
from the operation of two suction
dredges in the same vicinity. There
are some splendid stretches of good
gravel along the river for several
miles below B.ackfoot that ought to
pay If handled iLtelligently, and in
sufficient quantity.

PARK LINE IS
OPENED
Snow and Ice Worst in History
Drifts Twelve and Fourteen
Deep Encountered BY
the Rotary.

Unprecedented deep and heavy
snow on the Yellowstone park branch
of the Short Line lenls sthened the an
nual trip of the rotary snow plow
this year to seven and a half days
between Pocatello and Yellowstone
station. The rotary left the Gate Cit,
on Friday, March 10, at 10 O'Clock In
the morning. 1t finished boring
through to Yellowstone station at
7:30 O'Clock on the evening of Fri
day, March II. The snow was the
most difficult to handle in the en-
tire history OF the road. OIe mile
north of Marysville, the first hard
work was encountered. Here a four
teen foot cut had drifted even with
the surrounding country, and had
packed to the hardness of ice 1t
required three hours to clear the
rails. On Saturday night, March II,
the plow stopped at mile post IS, and
hacked down to spend the night at
Warm river. The following day mile
post 79 was reached, and the train
tied up at the state fish hatchery.
Monday mile post 81 was reached,
and from that time on until the
work was completed the train tied up
each night at Big Springs. Tuesday
was the hardest day of all, the train
boring its way through deep snow
towards Rea's pass. A trifle over
three miles were made on this day,
with numerous delays due to acci-
dents to engines and snow plow.
Wednesday the summit of the Great
Continental Divide was reached and
the following day saw the train at
Yellowstone station Just over the
divide from Reas Pass, one cut, half
a mile long, was filled with snow
from II to Is feet deep.
The rotary expedition this year
was in charge of Superintendent w.
r. Armstrong of the Montana divi-
sion, Assistant Superintendent Nc
Loughlin, and Rohdmaster McCauley,
and consisted Of the rotary with En-
gineer Frank Allen at the throttle

OVER COUNTRY
Is There to be Base Ball Here This
Season? Old Timers Here
Appreciated in Other
Places.

That BlackfOOt had some ball play
ers last year is evidenced by the
fact that almost all the boys have
signed for good positions in other
places for this season. Louie West,
who plays center field, is already
