Hope.ELECTRIC LINE IS ASSURED (To late for last issue)During the blizzard on Saturday
night, Mar. 10, three boat houses disappeared. On Suuday morning no sign of them could be seen any-» where. They were located later across the lake on the island.
AM the lumber jacks at the mill took a lay off Monday on account of the bitter cold and made it quite lively In the old town that night. They all had a good time.
Wednesday is a very line day after the hiizzard—people in their shirt sleeves and forgetting all about the cold snap.
A billiard match took place here this week, the stakes were 1500 shares of Green Monarch; again 1000 shares of Blue Bird; best out of three games, the Blue Bird boys won. There was gre»t excitement. Wine flowed like water at Jeannot’s billard hall.
The oldest settlers here say that Monday and Tuesday were the coldest
days they ever saw in Idaho. One
man, a miner on Pack rD’er, said he felt like at l^ome ir^ North Dakota, only it did not last so long.

OF INTEREST TO IDAHOANS,PRAISE PURE FOOD BILL.The building of the Spokane &
Pend d’Oreille Lake Rapid Transit electric car line has been assured beyond a shadow of a doubt, and at a business meeting of the promoters in Rathdrum, last Saturday, nearly all of the line was definitely located. Present at the meeting were C. H. Reeves, M. F. Mendenhall, W, S. McCrea, C. M. Speck and J. C. Cunningham of Spokane, and Dr. Frank Wenz and C. L. Heitman of Rathdrum.
The line as located will pass through Rathdrum a few blocks south of the courthouse, thence eastward through Browne's Addition to Rathdrum. It will touch Ramsey, Eight Mile prairie, Athol, thence run to the terminal point on Pend d’Oreille lake, where the company owns 1500 acres of land, including six miles of lake front.
As at first contemplated, the intention was to have the main line cross the Northern Pacific in order to touch Newman and Sucker lakes and also to touch Fish lake and Spirit lake. It was found, however, that this was not altogether practicable as it would lengthen the line and spoil the grade to a considerable degree. The plans were therefore changed. The main line is to run south of the N. P. tracks all the way, and spurs will be built to the lakes mentioned. These spurs will be made to cross the N. P. where most con-
ani off.As was reported some time ago
the company is capitalized for $2,- 000,000. Following is a list of the stockholders:
C. H. Reeves, part owner of the Hercules mine; A. E. Reeves, his son; J. J. Browne, well known Spokane capitalist; Guy C. Browne, his son, a bank cashier; D. K. McDonald, manager of several mortgage companies of Spokane; J. Grier, president and manager of trust company; W. S.

Nice Letters. The 3 year old daughter of H. E. Haynes is in a critical condition, her head and face being badly mangled by being bitten by a monster bulldog. Physicians are watching for any signs of hydrophobia.
Sheriff Doust and County Attorney Whitia were over from Rathdrum Saturday to straighten out the matter of a check for $834 on the Bell Telephone company, the check having been protested at Salt Lake.

From the constant stream of letters AB that have been pouring into Senator B Heyburn’s office since the passage of :■ the Pure Food Bilt congratulating B him on the splendid fight he has■ made in behall of the purity of foods H and drugs—It would seem that the■ whole country is in hearty accord■ with the provisions of the bill. The■ following is an extract from a letter■ to Senator Heyburn by the chairman Hof the American Medical Association, H comprising practically all the physi- H cians in the United States, and is a B fair sample of the letters being re- H ceived by him: “On behalf of the H American Mediçal Association I de- H sire to extend to you their hearty H appreciation, not only of your noble H championship of the Pure Food & H Drug Bill which recently passed the■ Senate, but for your splendid initia—■ Live in fostering a measure of such H inestimable value to the health and H welfare of the American people,”
Although “Uucle Joe” Cannon is H declaring with characteristic vigor■ that the House will not recede from ■ its position on the Statehood BUI it
■ is thought that it will finally agree B to the Senate amendments striking H out Arizona and New Mexico—and I permit Oklahoma and Indian Terri -

ABARONS OF KINGSALE. »
How They Got the Right to Remain Covered Before Royalty.
When the king of England rides through the streets 011 a state occasion his approach is generally heralded by the loyal citizens along the route baring their heads. Though this is mostly a spontaneous act of courtesy, it is also something that a monarch can legally claim as a right. The barons of Kingsale have long been exempt, however, having the privilege of remaining covered in the king’s presence.
They had this dubious distinction ns n reward for an old time service.

Ho had purchased his freedom, and his reward he heard from his magnanimous sovereign's lips: “Thou art a pleasant companion) and heaven keep thee in good beavers. Never unveil thy bonnet again before king or subject.
The Kingsales used to keep covered before their sovereigns until George III., jealous of his subject’s privilege, complained, “The gentleman lias a right to keep covered before me, but even King John could give him no right to be covered before ladies.

No City or Village Elections in Idaho this Year.
It seems that some people have not satisfied themselves with respect to the effect of the city and village election law enacted by the last session of the last legislature, and it is said that, in some places the authorities are preparing to hold elections In April.
The law distinctly states that elections in all towns and villages governed by the act shall hereafter be held biennially. The fact that the act does not in terms repeal the former law does not keep that law alive. This is a later act and under the rulings of the courts, it repeals the law which was in direct conflict with it. On this subject the attorney general has given opinions to people in a number of sections of the state, and there should he no further misunderstanding of the situation.— Boise Statesman.
