expert in the Hines trial that the de
fendant was insane when he shot
<'omit I’odhorski and soon thereafter
resumed ln> normal state of mental
balance. This procetlure has been so
well established by medical experts in
such cases that it was unnecessary to
hunt fora man with a name like \ on
Wedelsteck to swear it through.
It was announced that no newspaper i
men would ho allowed to accompany
1 ’resident Roosevelt on lus hunt but
the veracious correspondents are re-j
por'imr all hi- movement- just as it
they could sec him. They simply tearj
otT the typewriter any kinu of dope
they think will *jo.
Tin' press dispatches report that the
president killed a buck but failed to
state what kind. It is to be hoped the
victi*.. vas not a buck nijj^er a- the
pro- lent is in noor standing w ith the
colored race anyhow since the Browns
ville rumpu-.
The newspaper world thinks it a
noteworthy incident that President
Roosevelt drained a ^lass of cham
pagne at a hain{uet. Probably the re
porter- expected him to bite the tflass
in two or pour the bubbles into bis
shoes.
President Roosevelt threatens to an
nex a new title to fame, lie has slain
two rattlesnakes in a lower Mississippi
junkie and ii he tret- the rest of them
he in ■ -.like the same rank in Southern

SUNRISE TRAIL
NOW COMPLETED
(Continued from page 1)
of Seward in the summer of 1907 un
dor the direction of ('apt. George Iv.
Armstrong. The total cost is close co
*20,000 and the work is praised in un
stinted terms by all who have inspected
it. They say ('apt. Armstrong has
made good.
The Sunrise trail is the important
work, the other trails being mere side
issues which were allowed by Maj.
Richardson of the road commission
upon clear representations as to their
value and comparatively small cost.
The Sunrise trail is an excellent
wagon road, wide enough for wagons
to pass each other. It is a dirt road
c.\v.v|»i Min-ie coivuuoy was necessary
in low,wet low places,but most of these
were avoided by the skilful location
of Jerome ITachey. Resides numerous
smaller bridges it has one eighty feet
long and forty feet high. This is a
trestle across Groundhog creek, near
the Johnson creek summit.
From the railroad to the summit lit
tle attention was paid to the old snake
trail. After running on the bench
beside the railroad a few hundred
feet it turns west of north and
continues almost straight to the sum
mit. which it reaches in six and one
half miles, at least four miles less than
the old trail. From there the old
route is followed closely.
( apt. Armstrong came in from the
Sunrise trail work last night with a
badly sprained ankle but full of zeal
for future wo. k. He has orders from
the road commission to leave all the
tools here which were used this sum
mer. and is confident that the plan for
a trail from the railroad to Kenai will
be carried out next year. The trail
will be sixty miles long and will cost
*.">o,oo0. (’apt. Armstrong expects also
to get at least $T>000 to improve the
Rear river trail, and possibly other
appropriations. He will remain here
two weeks making out bis report.
