A SHOT FROM MR.. FAY.

Referring TO the local postoffice ap-
pointment. Thomas Fay. who was the
unsuccessful applicant. has sent the
following shot for publication in the
Statesman: The appointment was
the work of the Boise bunch, Pence,
Nugent. Alexander and Elder. The
wishes OF the patrons of the office
were disregarded by these gentlemen.
4 had ninety per cent of the Democrats
with me in ShoshOne and am thank
full to them for their support, which
was unavailing, however. 1 have re-
sided in this town for SO years"
Mr.. Fay's statement would seem to
indicate a rupture of the party in this
town and similar trouble is said to
have arisen at Twin Falls among the
faithful over the recent appointment
of Phil Crow as adjutant general TO
eliminate him as Il candidate for post
master in that town.

STEAMER PUEBLO BOUGHT FOR
 THIS RUN

It is reported that the Alaska Steam ship Company has purchased the liner City of Pueblo, from the Pacific Coast s. s. Co.,, for use in the Alaskan trade. This new acquisition to its fleet will be placed on the Southwest e3x Alaska route with the Alameda, Mariposa and Northwestern.
 The City of Pueblo is one of the famous vessels of the Pacific Coast. She was built at Philadelphia in 1881, and was a sister ship of the Umatilla and the Walla Walla, the latter of which was wrecked several years ago. Originally they were colliers, and were operated by the Pacific Coast s. s. Go. between Puget Sound and San Fran cisco. Later they were converted into passenger ships, and operated as pas senger vessels on the same route.
 The City of Pueblo was the fastest vessel on the San Francisco route be- fore the Congress and President were put on that run.
 The City of Pueblo is an iron steam ship of 2623 gross and 1,712 net tons. 320.6 feet long, 38.6 feet beam and carries a crew of S1 men. She is equipped for both passengers and freight.
