While in entire ignorance about the large store
Of heavy steel rails piled up the yards of the Gilmore
PttShurg at Salmon City, enough is reported by the
New Meadows correspondent Of the Capital News to extend
the railroad all the way down the big Salmon river there

ton of the Big and Little Salmon rivers at Higgins distance
of AZ miles The Pn road will be extended from it's south
ern terminus at Weser to Boise where it will be connected
with the Western Pacific, which is be built from

from where will be extended to and with the Gil
more Pttsburg down the Big Salmon river lewiston

one to be followed by the Northwestern With the necessary

Word received by the Protestant leaders di- rect is reported to confirm the Catholic contention, which Is that persecution without cause is being inflicted upon in- nocent and deserving Christian workers. The plea made in certain quarters in Mex leo that constitutionalist generals do not discriminate when they rise against op- presslon, and include Q church with po- litical wrongs. Is agreed to ins principle by many Protestants in the United States, who say they earnestly desire American Intervention to the extent of asking Mex leans to be more careful.
 The protest filed at Washington, backed by large number of Catholic laymen. charges crueties almost beyond descrip- tion upon priests and nuns. doctors and nurses, besides the dissertation and often ruin of consecrated buildings. and even hospitals and orphanages. Insofar as strict neutrality permits, American Cath ollie prelates are taking up the cause of Catholics in Mexico. and Catholic news papers in this country are filled with re- citals of alleged prosecutions Conditions in Belgium are said to be duplicated in Mexico Catholics here are saying that if our government can protest to Russia concerning treatment of Jews 1t can do the same to Mexico concerning treatment of Catholics.

Ware the "Mlld. Diseases
the Chicago Journal.

From the Chicago Journal.
 Measles Is accounted a mild" disease by most parents. whooplng cough. ex- cept when 1t attacks infants under 1 year of age. is likewise reckoned among the minor" ills. On the other hand, smallpox. typhoid fever and scarlet fever ara maladies whose dangerous character is recognized by all.
 With these preconceived notions In mind take . glance at statistics.
 Measules caused six deaths in Chicago last month. Smallpox caused one.
 Whooping cough killed more than twice as many persons as typhoid-2o deaths from the former to eight of the latter.
 The three serious diseases named above scored g deaths in this community dur Ing the July just past.
 Tho two mild diseases accounted for 2s victims in the same time.
 There Is nothing new about these flg- ures. They are parallelcd almost every month in almost every city of the United States. Health officers expect them, but parents and teachers ignore them. and therein lies the trouble
 If the Journal can get its readers to understand that measles and whoopng cough are among the deadliest enemies of childhood. it will feel greater satisfaction than in any possible beat" in present. ing foreign news.

WHEAT PRICES ARE Z STEADY AT CLOSE Predictions of Reduction in Domestic Receipts Af-
 fects Markets

Chicago, November 7.-Predictions that domestic receipts of wheat next week would show a decided falling off lifted prices today. The market closed steady at 11aAo to Hsc above last night. Corn wound up with a net gain of 1sc to hQAc and oats 1kc to 1s@ssc.
 = In provisions the outcome varied rom unchanged figures to s71hc.
 Attention in sthe wheat pit centered largely on the fact that for the first time since harvest there had been during two successive days no increase in the stock at Minneapolis. Besides, country offer ings were reported to be lighter in all sections, and it was the opinion of many traders that a turning point had been reached.
 Corn hardened owing to export sales Of 300. 900 bushels and evening up trades to prepare for the. government report Mon day. Prospect of cooler weather tended to ease tho market. but the effect wore off
 In tho oats crowd the smallness of country offerings led to flrnness rom the start.
 Provision shorts dropped their urgency to cover today when it became apparent that packers were selling freely. An early advance was more than wiped out. Despite the closing of the stock yards, cash demand for meats were reported slow.

MARKET
 HAS STEAD|ER TONE
CoIored Goods Lines Have Been Withdrawn in Sev-
 eral Directions

New York. November T-The steadier tone in raw cotton and the slowly in- proving financial conditions affecting trade have caused A further spread of confidence in cotton goods values. The dyestuffs difficulty Is figuring more prom ipently every week in delaying the re- vision in prices on colored cottons of the heavier grades. as well as expected revisions in prints. ginghams and other staple cottor fabrics. Less piece dyeins Is going oh and stocks of colored goods are not being built up as they were month or two ago.
 In several directions colored goods lines have been withdrawn from the markets until the dyestuffs supply becomes moro certain. There Is larger trading done in gray cloths for converting, and on brown sheetings of some grades. Sales of so0 bales of sheetings for export to Red Sea ports have helped to instiil confidence in the ultimate return of a satisfactory business from that quarter.
 There Is more or less irregular trading going on. according as one selling agency or another finds 1t necessary to move goods, but on the whole the markets are steadier. Outing fannels for the cut ting trades have been sold moderately well for future delivery.
 Prices are still nominal for many coi- ored lines. Quotations are as follows: Print cloths, 2-inch. 6fx64s. 5c: 64x6os. 2atc; 3Sla-inch, 64x6ds +ff4isc; brown sheet ings, southern standards. 7c: denims. g. ounce. 1s5e; tlcldrtgs. s-ounce. 1so; stand ard prints, 5hc; staple ginghams.
