JOKE ON SENATOR BORAH.
Big Negro Causes Ripple of Merri
ment at Haywood Trial.
The laugh Is on Senator Borah,
says the Boise Capital New . He
acknowledges the corn. He was so
nicely duped that he has nothing to
say when the affair Is mentioned.
During the Haywood trial yesterday
afternoon a big, burly negro entered
the court room, Crushed by
the guards at the door and entered
the bar Inclosure, passing between
the Jury and the witness stand.
Attracting the attontlon of nearly
everyone In the court room he mo
tioned to Senator Borah to leave his
chair. The senator did so and In
aulred of the man what was wanted.
"I want you to -get me a seat," said
the negro bluntly. The demand was
quickly complied with, the visitor be'
ing furnished a chair near the table
of the prosecution.
When the court adjourned all of
the spectators left except the negro
Intruder, who was sound asleep. A
little Investigation revealed the fact
that tie was decidedly under the In
fluenee of liquor. Senator Borah's
attention was called to the situation.
and after taking a careful look at the
man he exclaimed: "Is that the man
I went to the trouble to provide a
neat for?" Then as he recognized him
ns a negro who had been hanging
around town for a long time he was
so disgusted that he could hardly
speak. "1 thought," he finally said
that he was a negro from Colorado
who we have been trying to get here
as a witness, and 7 was afraid to let
him get away from me."
WASHINGTON RAILROAD RATES.
Sinter Commission Undecided as to
Basis. x
An Olympia dispatch says:
In crder to secure data on which to
determine upon the basts for the. fix
ing of railroad rates, the state rail
road commission he'd a hearing in
Olympia Tuesday when attorneys rep
resenting all of the railroads doing
business in the state were present. At
torney Ira J. Englehart, representing
the North Yakima & Valley railroad,
was among those present and took
part In the Informal discussion. The
question to be determined by the com
mission Is Just what would be the most
equitable basis upon which to assess
the value of the right of ways and
terminals of the railroads In this state.
Mr. Englehart says that there are
three methods advocated by differ
ent people, and the commission has
not Indicated yet which will be adopt
ed. One method suggested Is to fig'
ure out what It would cost to repro
duce the property as It Is; others think
the right method would be to -esti
mate the original cost and add there
to the value of Improvements, and
others again advocate the method of
estimating the commercial value of
the railway property as part of a
growing concern.
Considerable testimony was taken
at the hearing and the matter will
come up again later for final argu
ment.
Formal notice of objection to the
powers granted to the commission was
made by each of the railways repre
sented.
COAL COMING WEST.
TTnlon Pacific Coal Mine Strike Af.
fects Traffic.
For the first time since the eon'
structlon of the Union Pacific nearly
40 years ago long coal trains are
now passing westward over the road
through here Instead of eastward, as
the result of the shutting down of
the great collieries at Rock Springs,
says the Cheyenne Tribune.
These mines have always supplied
fuel for the Oregon Short Line and
Southern Pacific since they were
opened but now Harrlman is Import'
ing coal from Illinois and Iowa and
coal trains are going westward with
this fuel for the O. S. L. and S. P.
A large number of additional
strike-breakers from the east have
been taken through Cheyenne en
route to Rock Springs where they will
replace the miners locked out when
an attempt was made to unionize the
camp two weeks ago. So far about
300 strikebreakers have been taken to
the camp but no effort will be made
to reopen the mines until a sufficient
force has been secured to operate the
mines.
At present all Is quiet at Rock
Springs but merchants are complain
ing that their business has fallen off
more than one-half. The strikers are
acting in a very orderly manner, but
the ranks of the strikers are being
dapldly decimated by the departure
of large numbers of miners who are
seeking posltolns elsewhere, believing
that a long siege Is certain.
NEWSPAPER PLOT CHARGED.
Antl-TrnHt Warrants Out for Rivals
of the Chicago Tribune,
Conspiracy and violation of the anti
trust acts of the state of Illinois are
charged In warrants sworn out against
Frank B. Noyes, publisher of the Chi
cago Record-Herald; Andrew M. Law
rence, publisher of the Chicago Exam
Iner, and representatives of the Chi
cago American and the Chicago aDIly
News.
Involved in this action Is an alleged
attempt by the defendants to Increase
the price of Sunday newspapers from
8 to 7 cents. The Tribune refused to
enter Into an agreement, and It Is
charged that an attempt was made to
boycott that paper. When newsdeal
era refused to cease handling the Tri
bune, the News, the Record-Herald,
the Examiner and the American are
said to have refused to do business
with them.
The warrants were taken out by
newsdealers, whose business was
threatened with demoralization.

PENDLETON, OREGON
NEW ROUTE TO MARKET.'
Western Shippers Will Look' to the
Hudson Bay Railroad.
The utter blockade of eastbound
freight on all the railroad lines of the
northwestern states and western Can
ada has given great impetus to the
agitation for a short route to Europe
by way of Hudson Bay, says the Re
view of Reviews for June.
Any schoolboy looking at a globe
knows that the distances east and
west are shorter toward the pole than
toward the equator. From Japan to
Liverpool by way of San Francisco Is
11,000. miles; by way of Seattle, 10,-
800 miles; by way of Vancouver-Montreal,
10,000 miles; by way of Prince
Rupert the new Grand Trunk ter
minus and Montreal, (300 miles, and
yb way of Prince Rupert and Hudson
boy, 8276 miles.
Take a map and look at the Atlan
tic seaports. New York and Montreal
are both on the broadest belt of Amer
lea both at the greatest possible die
tances from the western shipper.
Look at the little fur post of
Churchill, up on Hudson bay. It Is
from 1500 to 2000 miles nearer the
western Bhlpper than New York or
Montreal. The spokes, of a wheel
running from San Francisco and Den
ver and Salt Lake and Portland and
Vancouver and Edmonton to a hub
at Churchill are Just half as long as
the spokes of a wheel running from
these points to Montreal or New
York.
. This is the fact as to distance. It
means that a railroad to Hudson bay
would cut the haul of the big trans
continental -roadB In half, and move
Liverpool 2000 miles nearer western
shippers.
One hardly needs to add that such
a project has been and will be furl
ously opposed by eastern seaports,
and railroads that feed those seaports.
For 2B years railroad projects from
Winnipeg to Hudson bay have simply
been blanket charters smothered and
kept in abeyance by rival railroads
but a change has come.
