its politics will be staunch demo.

EINDELL WIRELESS PLANT

 The boats at the time the wire less was sent, were in the gulf of Alaska two hundred miles due west Of Skagway. To reach the station in skagway the electric waves had to climb mountains eight thousand feet high and then come down to the peaceful lowlands of the Skag- way valley. Gradually the oper- ator has broadened his knowledge until now Mir. Kindel is listed among the competent wireless oper- ators of she north, and he has a station that any amateur may be proud of.

TRANSPORTATION CASES
 BEFORE SUPREME COURT

Washington, Feb. 2S-The De partmeut of Justice through its at torueys have appeared before the Supreme Court and are making a vigorous protest against the decis- ion of the United States district court for Alaska, which set aside indictments against an alleged AL askau transportation trust" on the grou d that before the Federal government could ndict for alleged transportation discrimiuations, the questions must be passed upon by the Interstate Commerce commits sion.
 The Pacific and Arctic Railway and Navigation company, Pacific Coast Steamship company, Alaska steamship company, Canadian Pa cific Railway company and others were indicted under both the Sher- man antitrust and the interstate commerce laws for alleged com binatiou and discrimination against independents"
 Solicitor General Bullitt, in a brief to the Supreme Court, says that action by the commission IS not by any means a necessary pre- cedent for criminal prosecution by the government under either sta tute.
 "A moments reflection must demonstrate that prosecutions un- der the sherman law must stand on their own bottom" says the solicit or general. and that the power of tho United States to indict thereun- der cannot, in reason, be limited by the necessity of first obtaining the consent or approval, as it were of the Interstate Commerce cOmmis- sion.

ACCIDENT CAUSED DEATH
 OF CHARLES BLACK

The jurymen selected by Judge Conway, to investigate the cause of the death of Charles Black, after listening to the testimony and viewing the body, returned a yer dict that the young man came to his death by accidentally falling off the approach to the wharf on the morning of Feb. 27, sustaining a compound fracture of the skull.
 An examination of the papers on the mans person discloses that he is a native of England and has one sister living in Liverpool. A letter O. recommendation from the off cials of the Canadian Pacific Rail way company, tells that he is a competent and trusted man, in fact the letter is exceptionally liberal in terms that highly recommend him.
 Charles Black was member of the Cooks and Walters Union' which organization will doubtless provide for the expense of his burial which is to take place in Skagway next Sunday,
 The .roner's jury consisted ol Max Gutfeldt, Jas. Kennedy, w. Pa;son, P. II. Ganty, R. A. Carroll and H. J. Lynch.

LIONEL GARDEN.

Sir Lionel is a good name A convinc-
ing name. Suggests English fiction of
the Oueda-Mulock- Mrs Henry Wood
type. Sir Lionel should belong to the
caste Of We're de We're. 1t seems almost
like proclamation to associates so august
a name with jibing, carping. sneering
newspaper criticism. Nevertheless he is
up against the charge that he talks too
much even for a common patrician-far,
far too much for a diplomat i'm Mexico.
Even the big newspapers in his own
land asserted that he had gone too far
when he stated that the government at
Washington did not understand the
Mexican situation. The papers are real
ly hoping he did not say it. The Pail
Mall Gazette says:
I'VE ought to recognize that Brit
ish interests in Mexico are merely
commercial, while those of the Uni
ted States are national, and there
fore paramount. The friendship of
the United States is more import
ant to Grea tBritain than oil con-
cessiOn."

SEVERAL SIDES OF THE
QUESTION.


Brownsville undoubtedly wants to Sc
cure the summer FORMAL. Brownsville
wants every good thing it can obtain
legitimately. To have a successful sum
mer norma | institute conducted here
would mean that two hundred of more
school teachers. or normal students,
would spend at least six weeks here
next summer 1t would bring here some
of the most highly qualified instructors
in the state. 1t would do much to ele-
vate the standard of the town from an
educational standpoint.
On the other hand, to fail to secure
the normal institute, and permit some
other town of smaller size to secure it,
would reflect sadly upon Brownsville.
1twOuld indicate a lack of enterprise
on our part, which would make Browns
vile peOplt feel somewhat apologize
when the subject of summer normalS
should be mentioned in their presence
To secure the institute, it is only nee
essary to raise the small sum of $1,000,
which is needed to employ instructors
Iu w IL SNhoO ~ Ioto
this sum among these Of our citizens
who are able to contribute from two to
five dollars. and the money would be
-aised in little or no time.
Our citizens should bear this in mind
and, when called upon by the city tea
chers who nave so nOb'y undertaken to
raise the subscription necessary in or
der to bid for the normal. respond by
placing their names on the list for such
sum as they can afford. Remember, it is
far from a pleasant task to solicit sub
scriptions Remember those teachers
have nothing more to gain from the
work which they have undertaken than
all the other citizens of Brownsville.
Let us be considerable of them, thank
them for the woarthy example which
they have set in thus eXerting them
selves for the general good of the town.
and reward them by subscribing cheer
fully to the summer normal fund.

OATS WINS
SILVER MEDAL

Once more has the Potlatch coun-
try been able to show to the outside
world that this section of the state
of Idaho, the best part of the county
of Latah, is the prize winning
bunch. Ben Callison shipped a
sack of oats to the Dry Farming
Congress in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which
was held last month, The oats won
second in the contest which was
gathered from all over North Amer
ica. In the letter that notified Mr..
Callison the secretary Of the Con
gress stated that the oats were in a
class that was hard to beat and that
they had won over very keen com
petition. This is another feather in
the hat of the Potlatch farmer that
the products of this section can win
honors where ever they are shown.
The prize was a silver medal.

Going Some

In our journey thru life as a

places of where fellows have stolen
a ride on the blind baggage, but
the first case came to our notice this
week of fellow stealing ride on
the blinds of a hand car. Tuesday
evening the boys went to Juliaetta
to play basket ball and one of the
town boys managed to make the
trip to the neighboring town by
stealing ride on the blinds of the
hand car. When the party arrived
at their destination they discovered
him and as he had made a success
full trip gave him the seat of honor
on the return trip.
