with much favor, but it is not certain
that one representing this element will
be chosen.

KOtice Of Application to cut Timber.

Notice is hereby given that in ac-
cordance with the provisions Of the
rules and regulations prescribed by
the Hon. Secretary Of the Interior
on May 9Th, 1891, at the expiration
Of twenty-one days from the first
publication Of this notice, the un-
dersigned, John Lee, president EN-
pire Mill and Manufacturing Co.,
resident Of Fry P. O., Kootenai
county, state Of Idaho, respectfully
represents,
That he has selected timber from
the unsurveyed public lands in
Kootenai county, state of Idaho,
which he desires, when surveyed,
the permission of the government
of the United States to cut from all
even sections and remove from said
public lands for the purpose of sale
and traffic and to manufacture the
same into lumber and timber as an
article Of merchandise and for other
purposes allowed by law.
Beginning at a point known as
Mirror Lake bridge, station 1900
on line Of Great Northern railway,
running parallel east and west for
one mile; thence in a southwesterly
direction to station 265O, opposite
Sand Point, Kootenai county, state
Of Idaho, said line to follow the me-
anderings of said Great Northern
railway, which contains about 90
480 acres.
This tract contains about twenty
million feet of pine, four million
feet Of red fir and tamarack, ten
thousand cedar telegraph poles and
ties.
This land is rough, broken,
mountainous and swampy, The
soil is sandy, rocky, barren and un-
fit for cultivation and agricultural
purposes, and is non-mineral in
character.
That your petitioner desires au-
thority to remove, when surveyed,
from said public lands all the pine,
tamarack, red fir, cedar and ali
merchantable timber.

The Rew FORK Leqisiature.

The New York legislature is still
somewhat in doubt, but the indica-
tons are that the Democrats will
control both branches. There are
three contests in the senate, but
that body will likely be made up
of 16 Democrats, 10 Republicans
and one Independent. Should the
Independent vote with the Repub-
licans making a tie, the Democratic
acknowledgements would have the
casting vote. The house will be
organized with a Democratic ma
jority of two, This legislature does
not elect a United States Senator,
but there is an important political
point to be gained by the Demo-
Gratis if they get control. They will
redistrict the state both for legisla-
tive and congressional districts.
While they have been able for
years to carry the state by large
majorities, they have been unable
to secure a majority in both
branches of the Legislature, This
they claim is due to an unfair dis
tricting of the state which they
propose to remedy.

Among the first bills that will
be introduced into congress will be
enabling acts to admit New Mexico
and Arizona to statehood. Utah
will also bean applicant for admis-
sion into the Union, but will be
kept out, owing to her Mormonism.
1t is believed that there will be
very little opposition to the early
admission of of New Mexico and
Arizona. For political reasons tine
Republicans may offer some objec-
lions, but this opposition is not like
fy to extend further than to de-
prive them of the right to vote for

that will be gained to the West by

interests will receive their proper

Dom Pedro Dead.

Dom Pedro, ex-Emperor Of Bra
I'll, died in Paris on the 4th. He
was crowned Emperor of his coutry
in 1871, and lacked but few mon
tbs Of serving half century.
Dom Pedro was a wise and humane
ruler, and under him Brazil grew
an power and Importance. Railways
have been built, telegraph and ca
bal lines have been extended in all
directions, the navigation of rivers
has been promoted, slavery has
been abolished, and free education
has been made universal through
put the empire.
In 1876 he visited this country
during the Centennial and received
much attention.
About a year ago he was forced
70 leave the grand empire where he
ruled so long and so well. The
people of Rio Janeiro, with hardly
a dissenting voice, gave the aged
euler but a short time to collect a
few personal effects, put him on
board vessel and made him a per-
petual exile from his native land.
Heartbroken and in i'll health he
moved about from place to place,
everywhere being honored for his
past record Of good works and sci
entifc and literary attainments.
His last conscious words was an
expression of affection for Rrazil.
While the Brazilians are to be
congratulated on the establishment
of a republic, yet their treatment of
Dom Pedro was ungreatful to say
she least.

A Short Biographical Sketch Of Capt.
!. ~ Wells.


James M, Wells was born in Erie
county, New York, November 13,
1912, but moved to Michigan with
his parents at the age of two years,
where he was raised on farm and
received a common school educa-
ton. Early in the war he Unlisted
as private in the Eighth Niche
gan cavalry, serving in the armies
of Ohio, Cumberland and Tennes-
see. He went with his regiment
through the campaigns of East
Tennessee, Atlanta and Nashville,
and participated in many of the
battles and skermishes incident
thereto, and was promoted in time
from the ranks to the post of Cap
tain for gallant and meritorious
conduct" He was-twice a prisoner
of war, and in three different pris-
on pens.
Captain Wells was one of the
parties who tunneled out of Libby

made good his escape. He was
again made prisoner near Macon,
Georgia, in the summer Of 1864,
when on the celebrated 'Stoneman
Raid, and was carried first to Ma
con and then to Charleston, where
he, with large number of officers,
was placed under fire of the Fed
eral batteries. Captain Wells was
mustered out with his regiment in
July, 1853, after the close of the
war, but broken in health.
He has been once married, but
has been a widower for twenty
years. Soon after the close of the

went south, where he held an APP
pointment under the government

ton, d. c., where he held appoint
ments in the treasury departments
under Secretaries Sherman and
but was compelled to re-
sign on account Of failing health,

tial campaign of 1884.
Captain Wells has participated
as a Republican speaker in nearly
every important campaign since
the close of the war, and has twice
stumped in the states Pennsylvania,
New York and West Virginia, un-
Ter the auspices of the National
Republican committee.
He went to Kootenai county, |
idaho, in 1884, where he lived
luiet and retired life on a farm.
Without his solicitation, he was
made the candidate of the Repub-
lean party Of Kootenai county for
he honors in the second senatorial /
district, and stumped the counties
If Kootenai and Latah, and at the
election received the largest vote of
my candidate Of either party in
lis own county, running largely
lhead of the state ticket.
