REPLY TO SHERMAN

AND HE. QUOTES A FEW FACTS
Inti'nates That Disappointed Ambi,,o,
Has Inspired Many of the
Statements.

San Francisco. Oct. 1s.-M. IT n.
Young of the national republican com
mittee makes several criticisms OF Sen
ator Sherman's new book, entitlaa
"Recollections of 40 Years in the Hopso
Senate and Cabinet"
IF I had political enemy" said
Mr.. De Young, II should be pleased n
have him write book. Senator Sber.
man errs when he says one man con.
trolled the New York delegation to the
republican convention Of 1883, and that
a corrupt bargain was made in the
interest of Harrison during an interval
between the adjournment of the conven-
ton on Saturday night and the time
1t reassembled on the next Monday
morning. In the first place. the New
York delegation was controlled bv
Warner Miller, Frank Hiscock, Chaun-
cey M. Depew and Thomas C. Plat
1t was well known when the convention
assembled that the New York delega-
ton was for Depew first and Harrison
second. L was working for Blaine. so
when Depew withdrew from the fight
on Friday, I moved to adjourn until
the next day in order to prevent a
stampede to Harrison. The New York
delegates were firm for Harrison as a
second choice. however, and he received
their support without a corrupt bar
gain having been made, as Senator
Sherman alleges"
De Young said the senator's criticism
OF Garfield was cruel. as it was not
justified by facts.
Il believe that many statements in
the book may be attributed to Senator
Sherman's disappointed ambition-the
presidency" said De Young.
in this connection, 1t may be said
that the senator's ambition would prob
ably have been realized long ago If he
mad not taken such an extreme stand
In favor Of the gold standard"
Columbus, O., Oct. 19.-Ex-Governor
Foraker, being asked what he knew or
thought about Senator Sherman's new
book. replied: II have not seen the
book. l do not know anything about
it's contents. but IL, as stated in the
newspapers. 1t criticises prominent re-
publicans, / am sorry the proof sheets
could not have been withheld until
after the election"

Economy the wa,chwora

In the last two years many lessons
have come home to us and taught us
economy in small things which good
times would never bring forth. 1t has
become a habit with all to think twice
before acting when the expenditure
OF money is considered. This is alf
true In the selection of route. whether
the trip Is for business or pleasure. and
Tor that reason the Great Northern
railway is more favorably considered
than its older rivals because of the saw
ing IN Tune, Its superior equipment and
sohdity OF its construction. Time is
money, comfort and luxury are the ac-
compartments of good health and rest.
and when to these are added the courte-
Gus treatment of passengers by train
employees thus RELOCATING irritation and
bad temper to the background. diges-
ton must surely be perfect. and a Jour
ney over the Great Northern worth
more than the same cash expenditure
over any other line. The moral needs
no explanation.

"a
Tract in Question Well Covered by Bus
ness Houses and dwellings,.
This important decision affects that
part of the townsite of Wallace lying
north of the alley between. Cedar and
Pine streets and embracing about a
third of the town. The disputed land
Is well covered with business houses
and residences and many of the lots
thereon have sold for from $1,000 to
$1,000
This land was originally located by
Colonel w. r. Wallace under duplicate
Sioux script issued to half-breed In
dian named Walter Bourke. The du-
plicate script entry was cancelled by
the land department in 1889 on account
OF the original script having already
been filed upon land in South Dakota
AS soon as this fact became known
all unoccupied lots were settled upon
by squatters who hoped to get the title
from the government. That part of the
townsite lying south of the alley was
upon an even numbered section and
patent was issued to j. l.. Dunn as trus-
tee, who decided those lots to settlers
occupying them. That north of the al
ley and upon the odd numbered section
was claimed by the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company, and through it's
representative at Tacoma, who was
sent to Wallace, it decided or quit-claim-
ed to settlers it's interest in all improved
lots excepting strip of land along the
south side of the river, and four lots
on Sixth street, which were reserved for
right of way and prospective depot
grounds.
Interested settlers on these lots and
strip, and also settlers ON the odd num-
bered section who did not see fit to buy
quit claim from the railroad company,
had meetings and decided to contest
the matter. The local land Office at
Occur d'Alene City decided in favor of
the Northern Pacific, as did also the
general land office at Washington, d.
c. The probability of the case being
carried to the supreme court will de-
pend great deal upon the report of the
government mineral land commission
