STEALS III TOWN AT
IT TO LAY TRACK
NORTH COAST ATTEMPTS
'TO STEAL A MARCH
Kennewlck Surprised Saturday Night
By Sudden Attempt of Biff Crew to
ly Rod In Heart of City Prop
erty Owners Get Injunction by Tele
phone to Stop Work.
Kennewlck, Wash., March 1. This
city Is In a turmoil of excitement as a
result of an attempt by the North
Coast railroad to lay tracks on Front
treet In the heart of the business sec
tion Saturday night.
Descending on the town from Klo
na, Washington, at seven o'clock Sat
urday night with a force of one hun
dred men and 35 teams, contractors
for the North Coast hurriedly began
laying tracks through Front street de
spite the objections of property own
ers. Northern Pacific officials learning
of the operations rushed 100 men
from Pasco to Kennewlck by special
train and blocked the effort of the
North Coast to crops their tracks at
Seventh street.
Injunction Is Socured.
Objecting property owners along
the street shortly before midnight
Saturday secured a temporary injunc
tion, by wire from Superior Judge
Holcomb nt Prossor, but did not suc
ceed In Mopping the work until early,
this morning, because It was neces
sary to serve papers on every mem
ber of the working force before work
wnfl stopped.
Damage suits against the North
Coast were filed at Prosser just be
fore midnight Saturday night by at
torneys for affected property owners.
This latest move of the North
Coast is believed to mean the exten
sion of the line Into North Yakima.
Franchises for right of way secured
three years ago through Kennewlck
by the North Coast have expired.
Excitement Runs nigh.
Excitement In this city is at a high
pitch over the action of the North
Coast officials. The contractors In
charge of the work last night are Es
baugh Bruce & Co.,. of Spokane.
A franchise granting the North
Coast rights of way down Front street
between Washington and Seventh
streets was given by the city council
here January S, 1907. Terms of the
franchise required that work be com
menced within thirty days and that
trains be operating within IS months.
Nothing was done until last night
when the force from Klona waa rush
ed here and operations commenced
over all objections. Superior Judgo
Holcomb fixed time for hearing the
restraining order for March 2 at Pros
ef. The contractors In charge of the
work here communicated with Rob
ert Strahorn in Spokane when their
work was stopped by injunction end
It Is understood that he agreed will
ingly to cease operations.
W. M. Saxton, In charge of the ma
terial yards of the Strahorn road, said
today thnt "this little work here
means the early completion of our
line from Attalla to North Yakima,"
Continuing he said that the North
Coast had only about 6000 ties to lay
between Attalla and the Columbia
river and that these would be put
down early In the spring. He pre
dicted that Strahorn would have the
road In operation from the Colum
bia river to North Yakima by April.
AUTHOR BRANDS GOTHAM
AS KING OF INSOLENCE
New York. "We live today In the
most Insolent city in the world the
city of New York."
F. Hopkinson Smith, the author,
eulogizing the chivalry of the "old
southern gentleman," before the 700
members of the New York Southern
Society in the Hotel Astor, deplored
tho conditions which he claimed pre
vailed here today.
"Why one can hardly get a descent
answer from a street car conductor,
a policeman or an official In New
York city," he continued. "I do not
mean to be absurd. There are doubt
less" thousands who are as courteous
as one could desire, but It Is not now a
matter of blood as it Is with our peo
ple. "Materialism." he declared, "Is
rampant. It pervades even our old
time social relations. Now If a man
drops Into the office of his friend for
a momept's chat, he must gossip with
a stenographer ou one side and a sec
retary on the other.
"What has become of the old-time
chat over the long-necked bottle?
Where has the spirit of southern plan
tation hospitality gone the admira
tion and deference and respects for
women the cordial relations between
host and hostess? All have passed
away for the sake of the dollar."
Saved a Soldier's Life.
Facing death from shot and shell
in the civil war was more agreeable
to J. A. Stone of Kemp. Tex., than
facing It from what doctors said wss
consumption. "I contracted a stub
born cold" he writes, "that developed
a cough, that stuck to me in spite of
all remedies for years. My weight
ran down to 130 pounds. Then I be
gan to use Dr. King's New Discovery,
which completely cured me. I now
weigh 178 pounds." For coughs,
colds, la grippe, arthma, hemmorr
hagc, hoarseness, croup, whooping
cough and lung trouble, it is supreme.

MINER FAIXS INTO
BOWELS OF TnE EARTH
Boise, Idaho. Authentic reports of
the horrible death of C. E. Bell, an
Idaho miner, who was plunged 1600
feet Into the crater of nn extinct and
Isolated volcano near the headwaters
of the Bruneau river, 100 miles south
of Boise, has reached here, brought
in by miners.
The tragedy took place last Monday.
Boll and two companions were pros
pecting at the time. The former out
distances the two others and reached
the crater first. Before his friends
could warn him, Bell had started to
walk overa bridge of snow at the side
of the vqlcano's mouth. Ho failed to
hear the warnings of his companions,
and peered over the edge into the
crater. Slipping, he fell headlong
with a scream Into the volcano In
sight of his friends.
A rescue party lowered one of Its
members 200 feet into the crater by
rope. When pulled back the volun
teer rescuer reported no sight of Boll
and said that the next landing was
400 feet below where ho had stopped.
Bell is well known In Boise mining
circles.

Owl Rides Hog Home.
North Yakima, Wash. When Mar
tin Conway of North Yakima went
hunting today he took with him a fine

owl on its neck and struck out for
home, four miles away. The owl rode
the dog, through brush and across
the river, only to be killed by Mrs.
Conway with her kitchen mop, when

Xo one who desires to encourage
the management to bring the best
that is going In the way of theatrical
entertainment should fall to attend
the offering at the Oregon theatre to
night. "The Great Divide" Is counted
as one of the really great plays of the
past few years and presented, as it
will be then, by a splendid company,
will provide an evening of thorough
enjoyment. "The Great Divide" ach
ieved a brilliant success from its very
first performance, has broken all rec
ords In point of financial success. It
ran for more than six hundred per
formances at the Princess and Daly's
theatres, Xew York City, and was
brought back for a return engagement
and played to capacity business.
"The Great Divide" has been cor
rectly termed the "long awaited great
American play." The subject treated
by Mr. Moody In "The Great Divide"
naturally is the best one upon which
n vitally interesting play can be writ
ten the mutual love and romance of
a man and woman. The vital Interest
or" this play lies In the strikingly or
iginal yet thoroughly logical and con
vincing way In which the theme is
treated. The man, Stephen Ghent,
the leading male character, is a son of
the mountains and plains, a fearless
and care- free product of the bound
less west The woman, Ruth Jorden,
the heroine of the story, is a dau
ghter of a circumscribed community
of an old civilization and culture.
These strangely contrasted natures,
by that mysterious lawv of human at
traction and repulsion that cannot
be explained- by words, but which Is
as fateful as the movement of the
universe, are drawn to each other and
held together Inexorably to the end.
But before their romance tnd mar
tial relations are adjusted and their
lives harmonized, there Is a period of
intolerance and antipathy represent
ing that evolution of mutual soul
awakening and mental development
which forms the heart of Mr. Moody's
drama. The settings of the play are
singularly appropriate to its subject
matter. The first scene represents a
modest ranch house in Arizona; the
second a plateau "The roof of the
world" high up In the Cordillera
mountains; and the third; the par
lor of an old colonial home in Milford
Corners, Massachusetts. The splen
did scenic Investiture and painstak
ing presentation help to emphasize
the keynote of, the play the spirit of
the untrammelled west in conflict
with the spirit of the established
east. The management has provid
ed a carefully selected company to
present "The Great Divide", here with
the splendid production precisely as
given for over 600 nights before leav
ing New York. The prices will be
$1.60, $1.00 and 75c.
