RoCKFoRD NOTES.

Rock FORD, Wash, Dee. Our
pleasant and active town is quietly
pursuing the "even tenor of its
way While her larger and more
prosperous sisters in parts of this
western world are wrestling with the
problem ofsubways, the pedestrinat-
ing "iolksn of Rockford are deep in
the throes of mudways. BY the way,
should the city fathers mount to the
dizzy heights of tackling the muddy
streets and give their children one
or two stone crossings, the comfort
of the good people, who are COM
PEELED to plow through black mud
ankle deep, would be greatly adj
vanced and the town present de-
cidedly more attractive appearance
to visitors and persons Choking
around" for place to settle.
The population of our town has
lately been increased by the advent
oftwo new doctors.
The fine new school house IL
nearly ready to be turned over to
the trustees. II presents fine ap-
pearance from its commanding po-
sition overlooking the town. The
trustees have secured the services of
Ifoi. Irwin as principal, Win Miss
Hutton for the intermediate and
Miss Brockman for the primary de-
partments. 1t Is proposed to open
school in the new building about
the middle of the present month,
The friends of Mr.. Charles Barbo
were grieved to hear of the death of
his young wife, which occurred
about q o'clock yesterday evening.
Mr.. Barbo has the hearty sympa

hour of his sad aflliction. Mrs.
Barbo fell from a flight of steps lead
ing from the ground to the second
story of their residence about three
weeks ago, and died from internal
injuries then sustained. she was

AN UNFORTUNATE MAN
A Large Deficit in the OHice of
the Treasurer of Douglas
County.
Senator Snow Makes Good tho
Shortage Out of His Own
Pocket

News has just reached this
city of large deficit in the Office of
the county treasurer of Douglas
county, which has been made good
by state Senator Snow, the retiring
treasurer. Judge Snow has been
particularly unfortunate of late.
Readers of the REVIEW will recall
the fact that on his return from
Ellens burg after the election, in
jumping from the stage he broke
his IeV. When h. was being taken
to Waterville he caught cold, which
developed into severe attack of
pneumonia.
After his arrival he notified the
county commissioners to appoint q
new treasurer, as he could not ut.
tend to this office and act as senat or.
After this ne had II relapse, during
which time III. y. Wilcox was ap-
pointed treasurer.
In going over the books quitea vast
sum was found missing. The judge
has been absent more or less all of
the present year and has given the
Office but little thought. When the
shortage was discovered the doctor
forbade him examining the books till
he was out of danger, and advised
him 10 cover the deficit and look 1t
up when he RECEIVERS, which he did.
Judge Snow has the sympathy of
all the people in the county, us he is
very popular.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
The Orondo News, just to hand,
gives the following account of the
shortage:
"rhe county commissioners found
only $500 county funds on hand In
the trclsurcis safe, whenthere should
have been 5000. The funds of the
county were all on hand at the May
session of the commissioners, hence
the deficiency has developed since
that time. County Treasurer
Charles II. Bolton has been absent
from the county for nearly q yenr on
account of poor health, and the Hon.
j. NJ. Snow las been In charge Of
the funds as deputy treasurer.
Treasurer Bolton was II man of
sterling Integrity and no one for n
moment siippos d that he knew
aught of the deficiency. His only
mistake was in not requiring his

THE WOOL PRODUCERS
Constitution Adopted by the
National Association.
IRREGULARITIES OF THE TARIFF
The So-Called Ring Waste" Ad-
mitted at Rates Injurious
to the Industry.

WAsHisGToN, Dec. Sat the wool
growers convention to-day the National
Wool Growers Association of the United
states was organized by the adoption OF
n constitution and the election of the fol
lumbus Delan OF Ohio president; j. r.
Rich of Michigan, vice president; C. H..
Beall OF West Virginia, treasurer
George +. Wallace of Missouri, secre-
tary, and David Cossitt Of New York,
assistant secretary. H.. y. Bissell oil
Vermont, w. L. Black of Texas, and
John Mcdowell OF Pennsylvania were
selected TO act with the officers of the
association as AN executive board.
The committee appointed to draft an
address TO the wool growers of the
United States will publish the address at
an early date.
One Of the principal subjects discussed
to-day was the undervaluation of the
so-Called ring waste Last year the
importation OF this so-called waste
eqiclcd the entire wool clip of either
Ohio or Texas. II is superior for nearly
all wool manufacturing purposes to the
finest secured WOOL III the country and
yet pays duty Of only 10 cents ON the
pound where 1t should pay, upon proper
and just classificdti from 30 to 90
cents per pound. Last year about "a,
OoO,OcO pounds of this wool was imported
principally from England and sold in
the markets of this country at from 62 to
G5 cents a pound, while in the same mar
kets fine secured California wool was sold
at 80 cents per pound. IL was
also stated that this hne grade of wool
was manipulated by machinery before
shipment, especially constructed to coil
it into small rings in imitation of the
waste, for the sole purpose of ovading
the law and avoiding the paym of
the Just customs duties.
The committee waited upon Secretary
Window this afternoon and presented q
protest The secretary stated that he
was engaged in q thorough investigation
OF the subject. and that full justice would
be done the wool growing interests. The
next annual meeting will be held at Chi
cago on the second Wednesday in June
next.

there Is absolutely no definite de-
scription of the Kind of land, the
possibility of minerals, stone or coal,
the quantity and quality of
timber found there and the
feasibility of colonizing the whole
region.
It is for the purpose of procuring
accurate and scientific information
about all these things that the Press
expedition Is being organized.
The chief of the party Is J. II.
Christie, tho well-known explorer

ploration as complete and valuable

il expected that the result of this
work will be of great Importance
from a scientific standpoint.
The party Is now ready to start on
its mission, and before another fort

AN EXPLORING PARTY.
1t Will Penetrate the Hitherto
Unknown Olympic Country
on the Sound.
The Object Is to Procure Accu-
rate knowledge OF
Terra Incognita.

An expedition Is being fitted out
by the Seattle Press for the purpose
of exploring the practically un-
known region lying between the
summit of the Olympic range and
the Pacific ocean, and extending
north and south from Puget sound
to the Quinault river. This region
is known to abound in large game,
since the valleys putting up into the
unknown region are tecming with
herds of elk, wild cougars, deer and
bear. Hunters have shipped in loads
of elk horns and hides from the
Quilayute region, and bear and cou-
gar skins are common I'm all the
hnts at the mouth of that river.
Some hunters have claimed that the
uneXplored region consists of rolling
prairles on II huge plateau covering
ed than bands of Indians claim the
land ns their own and demand
tribute from all travellers who desire
to enter. Mr.. G. Morris Haller, who
killed eight big elk mt the Lake of
the Sun, near the headwaters of the
Quilayute, was compelled to pay u
tribute of tobacco and cloth TO some
Indians before he entered their
domain.
One legend being handed down
by the wise old Indians Is to the eff
feet that that region was once thick
ly peopled by race of large, power
ful Indians who were adapt as
workers of iron and In carving, and
who possessed fine horses and cat lie.
They prospcred until war called
away the strong men, and In the
severe winter that followed the bears
and wild animals came down from
the mountains and destroyed the
camps, scattered the cattle and made
desolate the homes of the red men.
The plains were then deserted, and
the indians now hold superstitious
dread of the whole district.
Aside from such stories of the
hunters Gnd legends Of Indians,
there IL nothing known of that
large territory. 1.-The government
charts contain but one or two eleva-
tions out of the whole range, aud

faithful keeping of the county funds.
He has the sympathy of the entire
county, as IL Will ruin him finan-
cially unless the deputy makes
good the defalcatl0n. The
county IL safe, however, as
the bondsmen are good for
the amount deficient, but Il Is rough
on them TO be thus treated. Dep
uty Snow Is sick and hence not able
to look after things, and the only
explanation given by him Is that
the funds were on hand when he
last looked into the safe In Septem-
ber. He IL the only person rs far rs
known who had the combination
of the inner safe when the funds
were deposited, hence II looks du-
bious for him. Deputy Snow claims
that when he gets out he will be
able to go to the bottom of the mst-
for. II is hoped that he may be
able to do ~. Only one of two
things will satisfy the people; either
that he clear up the matter In II sat
isiactory manuer or promptly resign
the senatorship. He has turned
over his ranch north OF Waterville.

New York, Dec. IA rchbishop

about to be started in this city in which
the vatican would place all its money
for investment in American enterprises

seizure, by the Italian government,
should there be rupture, etc.

Moreover, there are documents in my

anything. II is simply blank form
which any one may buy and fill in,
Archbishop Corrigan then showed the

received from Colonel J. Cox Leyl
asking tho archbishop's support for the
proposed bank and Offering him 1000
shares of stock if the enterprise succeed

been offered and accepted the governor

THE TOWN OF LATAH.
A Thriving Place With Many In
ducements to Home-Seek-

Facts About the New Academy
Now in Successful Opera
tion-Notes.

Though not much has been heard
lately from Latab, we have been
busy at work building lively,
thriving town.
Our academy Is completed, occu-
pied, and fifty students enrolled.
Here Is an example of the way
things move in this garden spot Of
the Palousc country. -Four months
ago the citizens of Latah decided to
have n place for higher education.
They went to work by private sub
scription and secured block of
land, put up handsome hard
finished building which will accom-
modate 100 students, engaged first
class educator, Prof. Walker who
went around among the towns and
farms and soon secured u following
of pupils nearly as large as had
Socrates of Athens.
Here you will find young men as
vigorous, intelligent and earnest as
ever faced II problem of geometry,
discollrsed with Plato or stumbled
over n Greek root. II Is II pleasant
sight to see them drilling on our
streets and i'm the campus with their
neat-ftting suits of blue aud gold.
Business grows apace on this rich
soil. Within the last few days three
new firms have opened doors for
business. j. A. Stegner & Co., n.
IL. Wheeler d Brother, and Messrs.
Schoonmuker, Tizier q Shinn.
People are anxious for complete
stocks and low prices ut home.
This is n home town, too. Ten
handsome village residences are now
i'm the hands of the carpenters.
Here Is the place to settle II you
want To school your children I'm the
moral, healthy atmosphere of home
and thriving country.
The citizens are now moving for
a fine $4,000 public school house.
There are now i'm Latah about 200
persons of school age.
| forgot to mention that Latah l.
within the lines of the proposed new
county near the center line running
east and west, and on the o. r.. Il
n. railroad, which passes through
the thiclkly settled eastern halfuf the
new county. AS there are now eleven
hundred names on the petitions for
this new county, 1t seems probable
that the petition will he granted by
the legislature aud the county
organized at once. Don't forget
that for II radius of fifteen miles on
all sides of Latah there is n solid
farm-one big wheat field, good for
fruit, vegetables, etc, etc,-with
only one timbered butte of waste
land to give variety to the land
scape.
Besides we are now an inCOrpOr-
ated town, and can keep ont bad
company, improve our streets, get
out shade trees, and live mt home
and board AT the same place.
Farm lands are not high about us
yet and if you like you can live in
town and run fine farm near by.
Other business houses are needed
too.
The q. II. IL n. railroad promises
to put on an accommodation train
soon 80 that residents may visit the
city of Spokane and return i'm the
evening and so that business men
even of the Falls City could have
their homes in Latah and run down
To the city in the morning and re-
turn to their family home in the
evening. We wish the trains
passed through the town I'm the day
time so that Eastern visitors of the
Union Pacific system could see
the town and country.
Come and see us Meantime keep
both eyes on Latah.

IN The HOME FIELD.
An Important Mining De-
oision in Montana.
THREE INDIANS COMMIT SUICIDE.
They and Two Others Had Been
Sentenced to Hang-A
Heavy Storm.

HELENA, Mont, Dec. 5.--A suit has
been pending here for some time, which
interests mining people throughout the
West, Judge Hunt yesterday decided
IN favor Of the petitioners in the case of
the petition of the st. Louis Mining
Company for the survey Of the Mon
tana ComPany's mine. the great Drum
Luminon at Marysvile. The properties
ofthe 81. Louis Company arc adjoining
those of the Drum Lummon, and IL Is
contended that the Drum I.ummon vein
out.crops upon them. A survey was
asked for because the st. Louis peoplc
thought that ore was being extracted
from their ground. The defendants al
lege that the Drum Lummon vein does
not crop on tho 81. Louis Companys
property, and objected to an under
ground survey OF their property because
they contend that 1t is nobody s business
buttheir own.
In the argument before the court by
the attorney for the defendant the
principal point raised was tho uncon.
sttuttonallty of the law, but Judge
hunt decided that the court could not
regard mining property as different
from any other and could not take any
judicial notice OF the fact that mining
company desired TO preserve secrecy
IN its operations. The testimony
oiexperts was to the effect that the
vein of the Drum Lummon mine out
cropped both on the properties of the
~. Louis Company and on those of the
Montana Company and that the st.
LOUIS company, having prior title,
would have IL prior right 10 the vein.
This made possible the in fringement
OF the plaintiff $ ground by the defend.
Ant, and such possibility being estab.
lished an order for the survey was
granted, IN order that the question
might be determined. The ATTORNEYS
Tor the Drum Lummon have appealed to
the supreme court, and 1t will be some
time before the case is decided.
