Turks and many guns were captured
when the Russians took Erzerum, it
has been unofficially reported from
Petrograd. The garrison of 100000
withstood the onslaughts for several
days. The forts were modern and
were mounted with a thousand guns.
No news indicating the number of
those who escaped has been received.
The city has been surrounded for five
days with heavy SHOWS that made the
roads impossible. 1t is believed that
few escaped Many of the captured
guns are modern Krupps. This proves
the value of further Slav operations
The city was reported to be in flames
when the Russians entered.

O-W SERVICE
INTERRUPTED
Damage to Bridge Near COlfax Ties
Up Branch, But Passenger Service
May Soon be Resumed

Damage to a bridge nine miles this
side of Colfax tied up the local branch
of the O-W R. & N. last night and the
morning trains will did not go out to-
day. 1t is believed that passenger
traffic will be resumed very shortly
with the gasoline car, but some days
may be required to provide for the
| heavier steam traffic.
| Repeated slides near Joseph, on the
Clearwater, have bothered the Nor
thern Pacific for some days, but traffic
was normal today. The Inland has
been running on time for several days.
Last night twenty-five cars of
freight that the O.-W. has been un-
able to get into Lewiston from
Riparia, came in from Colfax and were
transferred to the Northern Pacific
They reached Lewiston last night. The
Riparia-Lewiston line is open again,
and a fuel famine in Lewiston has
been averted.
Fifteen cars consigned to points be-
tween Riparia and ColfaX came in
last night over the Northern Pacific
from Lewiston, to be turned over to
the O.-W. here, but the wash-out
near Colfax prevents their going out
today 1t is possible that they will be
returned to Lewiston and go via
Riparia, now that the river line is
again open.

"LOVE'S LARlAT" AT
VICTORIA TODAV

Followers Of Bluebird photoplays
will be glad TO learn that Harry d.
Carey, who was so successful in the
recent presentation of "The Three
Godfathers" in the same series, is to
be the leading man in Loves Lariat"
the five reel feature to be exhibited
at the Victoria today matinee and
night.
Like all of the plays in which Mr..
Carey has been seen in pictured TO
best advantage, Loves Lariat" is
partially a western drama When the
scene changes to Fifth Avenue, New
York, the western characters are re-
tanned for the continuation of numer-
Gus lively comedy scenes.
While Loves Lariat" is largely a
comedy the piece is SO ele9erly con
structed that before the happy end.
ing is reached there is mixture of
sensationalism, together with fine
love story, to awaken interest and to
arouse the varying emotions of the
average moving picture audience. The
western types concerned with Mr..
Carey are drawn from life, for all of
the half-dozen cowboys are imperson.
ated on the screen are native to the
western plains practical cattlemen,
! brought up in the saddle. Olive Full
| Ter Golden is the leading woman in
the company in unfolding the plot
Neal Hart and William Quinn will
also have prominent parts.
It may readily be imagined how the
sudden change of scene from the prai-
RE wilds to the confines of New
York's society circles afford oppor-
tunity for some amazing comedy eff
fects. Loves Lariat" is an example
of the exploitation of BIuebird Pho
toplays, that it is the play and the
method and manner of it's presenta-
tion that best attracts the public
While other firms are depending upon
stars and names without the equip
ment of the suitable vehicles, we'll

from farce to melodrama, from senti-

suade the trustees of the Carnegie
teachers' pension fund to make him
gra MT, though his years in the profes-
serial chair did not entitie him to re-
ceive 1t, though the manner OF his
leaving the teaching profession did
not warrant his claim, and though his
financial circumstances we're not such
as to bring him within the purview of
the Carnegie benevolence. The trus-
tees turned him down.
Five years ago Joseph Pulitzer
died. He left large estate, por-
ton of which comprised the great
newspaper properties the New York
World and the st. Louis Post Despatch.
He sought the perpetuity OF those
properties, and for that purpose he
named certain trustees. Among
them was Charles E. Hughes, upon
whom alone of all the trustees desig-
mated Mr.. Pulitzer laid no limitation
of his term OF service. To Mr..
Hughes, Pulitzer bequeathed sioo, 1000
as recompense for his service.
Hughes declined the trust and the be-
quest, though at that time he had
nothing but his salary as a justice of
the supreme court, though there was
no legal bar to his acceptance, though
the wishes of the testator were not
only clearly expressed in the will but
had been reinforced by oral mes
sages before Mr.. Pulitzer's death.
Above is the instructive record Of
the three men-Bryan, Wilson and
Hughes.

Room For Improvement.

There are over 40o.o0pOOo acres OF
uncultivated land in the United States
awaiting development that cannot be
developed without improved highways.
1t has been shown that the value Of
land Is increased evenly with the I'm
provement for the roads, the increase
running from 81 to 50 the acre. As
the roads are improved there Is cor
responding increase In population. In
twenty-five counties taken at random
which have contained on an average
only ia per cent Of improved roads In
the decade 1890 to 1900 there was q
falling on in population Of 1900 In
each. Undoubtedly the best system of
maintenance for all roads Is that
which provides for the permanent and
sometimes continuous employment of
skilled laborers who have charge of
particular sections of road or who may
be assigned to any part Of the county
or other read unit where there Is work
most needed.

contest last week by just one boy.
Howard Lunt, who deserves credit
for the industry and ambition he has
shown. Ellsworth Falls and Bayside
have dourishing clubs, and it is to be
regretted that Ellsworth proper has
no club. We understand that this is
purely a matter OF securing proper
leaders. There are many ambitious
and industrious boys and girls in
Ellsworth who would welcome such q
club; we know of several boys who
are already working independently
in gardening and poultry raising. and
sticking to IT, too, without the assis-
lance of leaders, or the inspiration OF
competition. We hope that before
the beginning of work for another
year, suitable leaders will be found
for clubs in Ellsworth. Here is an
opportunity for volunteers in a
worthy cause.

The first county contest Of the boys
and girls agricultural clubs held in
Ellsworth last week was a splendid
demonstration OF the work being
done in this county in the way Of ag-
ricultufal extension service. 1t was
more than an exhibitions; it was q
revelation And it was testimonial,
too. to County Agent George N.
Worden, who has had personal di-
rection OF the work. Mr.. Worden is
more than live wire; he IL whole
power-house of energy, with which he
charges others. The State leaders of
boys' and girls clubs, who attended
this contest, were enthusiastic. Han
cock county has again taken the lead.
Other counties have held contests, but
none approached this in attendance,
exhibits and interest manifested.
1t goes without saying that there viii
be another and larger contest here
next year. The Ellsworth banks, that
contributed 90 generously toward the
work by offering cash prizes, feel well
repaid, and the people of Ellsworth
who contributed to the entertain
ment of the boys and girls will vel
come them again another year.
