One of the best paying and oldest
established industries in the upper
country is the extensive shingle mill
situated on Cocolala Lake, owned
and operated by the Percival broth
ers, Of Cheney. The mill is running
steadily, turning out millions of
white pine and cedar shingles annu-
ally, and has tltS reputation Of pro-
ducinga better article of shingle than
any factory in the territory. This
can be attributed to the fact that the
force Of twelve experienced men en-
ployed have been connected with the
mill ever since 1t first started, and
the boys know how, and do manu-
facture only the very best class Of
stock. The demand for the shingles
with the Pcrcival brand Is growing
steadily, and. some idea may be
formed Of the extent Of the work
when we state that over 100000
shingles were manufactured and de-
livered in May. Agencies for the
sale Of their goods are established in
every town in the neighbOrhOOd, and
the sales have been such sthat the
proprictOrs have always been able to
Congratulate themselves upon the
investment.

The lack Of sufficient water supply
for public and domestic purposes in
Spokane Falls is more apparent every
day. A system of waterwOrks is an
actual necessity, the want Of which
will be felt more severely as the city
continues to grow. The subject is
now under consideration by party
of home capitalists who are willing
to put their means into an undertake
ing of the kind II they can see their
way clear, and It is the general ex-
pressed hope that they will push for
ward the undertaking. 1t is not to
be supposed that the investment is
to pay a heavy revenue to the stock
holders from its incipiency, but that
1t would eventually turn out to be IL
valuable interest no one can deny.
All the encouragement within the
bounds Of reason should be extended
to those who are contemplating an
interest in this enterprise and the
city authorities shoYIafake as liberal
a view of any prop8 8sition submitted
to them rs is consistent with their
oath Of Office. The scheme should be
fOstered as by that means alone is it
to be carried out. There should be
no lingering over the matter, as this
summer is the appointed time to
commence operations, and the sooner
the better.

Monday about O'Clock an Indian
named Thomas, a young nal Of
some 25 or 20 years Of age, met with
a horrible accident on the railroad
near this place whereby he lost both
Of his feet. II Is the habit Of the
Indians to ride up and down the road
on freight trains, a privilege that is
accorded them by the company.
Monday Tom took passage in re-
served seat on the top Of a box ear,
and 1t Is said was a little off his hang
from a slight indulgence. However
this may be the train had only got
well under way, westward bound,
when the unlucky Indian from some
cause, whether liquor or otherwise
we are not prepared to say, fell be-
tween two cars The wheels passed
over both feet below the ankle,
mangling them in frightful man.
ner. Besides this injury he sustained
a slight scalp wound, and few
square inches Of skin were raled
from his side. The train was stopped,
the wounded man was taken on
board and brought hack TO this city.
He was Immediately taken tO.J NJ.
MOrgan's office, where that skillful
surgeon, assisted by DIR. L. L. White
house, who has also had a long and
varied experience in this kind Of
work, proceeded to amputate both
feet, as they were ground up into
mince meat, not a bone remaining
intact. The sufferer was put under
the influence of chlOrOfOrm and the
surgical operation speedily per-
formed. The sight wns horrible in
the extreme, and one could hardly
believe that a man could Recover
from the shock attending such in
juries, but at present writing the
abbreviated Indian is doing splendid
ly, and seems quite cheerful. The
stumps appear healthy, and no sign
Of swelling or Inflammation has set in.
He is under DIR. Morgan's charge
and is carefully nursed by attendants.
His entire recovery is only the ques-
tion Of time, although when he does
he will find some difficulty In getting
around.

Up to the hour of going to press
the Indian who was 50 inhumanly
shot in the town Jail, last week, was
still alive, but slowly sinking with
hardly any hope of his ultimate re-
covery. OF course the wounded man
does not receive the treatment that
such a severe case should, as he Is in
the Indian camp under the charge Of
fridpds, yet even with the best Of
careft'is doubtful II he could have
survived the wounds. There Is no
one in the community who excuses
the crime, and the feeling against
the perpetrator Is still as great as It

Last Saturday a fivc-year-old son
Of Mr.. Roar, living few miles
from town up Hangmen's creek, met
with painful accident that narrowly
missed resulting fatally. 1t seems
that Mr.. r. was out near his resi-
dence with his team gathering up a
wagon load Of posts, and some Of his
children were with him. When he
had taken on . load he started up his
team, not noticing that his little son
was between the wheels. The child
was knocked down and one of the
wheels struck his head, and as the
little fellows head luckily turned
the wheel merely grazed the occiput,
cutting cash to the skull some six
inches in length. The child's shoul-
der and side were also considerably
bruised. The distracted father inn
mediately carried the boy TO the
house, mounted a horse and hastened
to this city TO secure a physician.
DIR. J. NJ. Morgan was summoned,
who stitched up the wounds and i

comfortable as could be expected

That the Judge is one of the most

A Change.

A change in the railroad Office at
Portland has recently gone into cf-
feet, whereby the lines under Mr..
Wizards management are benefited.
John Muir, Esq, under whose able
supervision as superintendent of traf-
fic the North Pacific owes much of
Its present prosperity, has been ap-
pointed general superintendent Of
traffic Of the Oregon and California
Railroad Company, thus putting di-
rectly into his charge all the lines Of
road under Wizards control. From
what we can learn Of the gentleman
the promotion is a deservedly proper
one, which will work to the advan-
tage Of the road. Mr.. Muir Is an old
railroad man, and he brings into the
office fund Of experience that will
enable him to conduct the affairs ap-
pertaining to the position intelligent
ly and economically. All along the
line he'is spoken Of in the highest
terms, and his metRodical and sys-
tematic manner Of conducting the
tremendous system Of traffic has won
for him the eneomiums Of press and
people. The managers Of the road
are TO be congratulated upon the wis
dom of their choice, as is Mr.. Muir
for the display of confidence Mr.. Vii
lard has In his ability.

Down in California last fall there
was a most woeful hue and cry Of
"reform," the principal aim being
to cinch the railrOad regardless of

they were elected they would "burn

make a schedule Of rates for.freights
and fares 50 low that the railroads
would everlastingly bust up. In
glowing oratory those seekers after
votes painted the conditions Of the
great monopoly after they (the Com
nissioners) once took charge Of the
ohice, and there were hundreds Of
easily beguiled fools to put faith in
those promises. The result was a
Democratic Board Of Commissioners
was elected. At frst a great noise

looked as though they intended to

pie were struggling under, when 10

struck the Commissioners and their
reformation extended no further
than Jaw bone. Now those deluded
victims Of misplaced confidence are
