Right-Of-wa Suits.

James f.. Babb attorney for the Clear
water Short Line filed condemnation pro-
ceedings last Wednesday against all the
Indian land owners on the north bank of
the Clearwater liver between Potlatch
creek and the reservation line. This
move was a railroad sensation, the only
one of the week
The land sought TO be condemned is
not owned outright by the defendant
Indians. They have trust patents for il,
but cannot convey title. The title is in
the United States government. And il
has been held that the state courts have
no jurisdiction over this land so far as
titles are concerned. On the other hand
the state laws provide course of pro-
cedure by which public thoroughfares
may be constructed across homesteads to
which titles have not been perfected and
across public lands by condemnation.
The suits now pending under the state
laws will surely permit entry upon these
lands and the construction of the road
pending the adjustment of damages.
This perhaps is the point sought to be
made. Upon the other hand this CON
dition seems to be in open conflict with
the course outlined by the agents of the
government A recent dispatch stated
that Senator Simon had secured all order
through the department of the Interior to
the local authorities to forbid railroad
work on Indian lands and to restrain it
by force if necessary pending the settle
ment of the question by congress. The
granting of the rights asked, therefore, by
this suit through the districts courts
would involve the authorities in con
flict. new phase of the question of
state rights will perhaps be given to the
courts before this case is settled
The state land board is also made a
party to the condemnation suit for the
reservation rights of way, i'll as much as
various tracts of school lands are to be
crossed by the proposed roads. A separ-
ate suit was filed yesterday to condemn
the right of way through school land on
I.apwai creek. There seems to be no
conflict of authority SO far as school lands
and whitemens homesteads are con-
cerned in these right of way suits.

Our fellow townsman, Ezra Baird,
seems to have come under his lucky star
at last. He is in on some of the biggest
propositions i'll Buffalo, and now comes
word from the Great Eastern claim on
Snake river above Salmon that the recent
there reveal in that claim
a veritable bonanza. The company CON
slsting OF Baird, Eckcrt and Williams sent
a force of men i'll there a month ago to
40 some development. They uncovered
a very rich streak of coppcr-silvcr-gold
ore is inches thick the value of which
runs into the thousands. This was known
TO be property of promise and the good
news is no great surprise but it is the
occasion of rejoicing lust the same

A Smooth Rascal Caught.

Harry Lydon, one of the proprietors
of the Mallory & Lydon stables, and one
of the owners of buggy aud team of
horses which were stolen from this city
last week, was deputized by Sheriff Bar
ton to bring back from Oregon the sup
posed thief, and he departed on his er-
rand this morning. A sewing machine
agent known as Wilson generally, hired
a rig from the above stable, giving his
name as Ryan; and afterwards sold the
team in Dayton. He engaged the team
for two days to drive to Asotin on bust
ness, but drove to Dayton instead and
there sold horses and buggy, even vic
timizing the city marshal.
The man was finally located and ar
rested at Hepner, Oregon. Harry Lydon
goes in the capacity of identifying wit
ness and officer of the law to bring the
man back. Ryan, alias Wilson, did some
smooth work, but he was run down by
the telephone. Harry Lydon has had too
much experience as sheriff to be easily
outwitted, even by professional crook

The Clearwater Valley Railroad cora-
pany filed rights-of-way through nine
homesteads in Big and Little Canyon on
the reservation yesterday. These deeds.
it is claimed, gives the O. r. & N. an
outlet to the great reservation wheat dist
riot on Nez Perce prairie
The mouutebank advertising schemes
OF the Noble dramatic troupe attracted
large audience on Monday night, their
first appearance here. The show was not
good enough to draw a second large audi
ence last night, for the hall was not half
filled. This troupe is billed for one week
here, but fifty percent reduction every,
night will not leave very large audience
at the close of their engagement.

The homesteaders on the reservation
are being watched for opportunities to
file contests. The poll books of out side
precincts and even in Washington are
being searched for the names of home
steaders who voted and by the act of
registration declared themselves citizens
of other precincts than the one in which
they have homesteads. 1t stands rhe
owners of valuable homesteads we'll in
hand to avoid technical evidence of
abandonment.
Notice is published elsewhere of re-
ward for the recovery of the body of J. N.
Departee who disappeared from Spalding
one week ago. The family suspicious
foul play as the missing man had a con-
siderable sum of money on his person
They resent the imputation of suicide or
other acts of deception. Mr.. Departee
was member of the Arcanum society
and carried $1,000 insurance.
From the stand point of an observer
the Vineland Lewiston bridge contractors
are making commendable progress. The
piers are being built up with stone
foundations and concrete. They will
soon be out Of danger of any probable
rise in the river. With the exception
of few hours rain the weather has been
favorable for this work since it began.
c. Weisgerber has definitely decided
to build brick on his Main street
property at the head of Second street
The plans have been drawn but the con-
tract has not been let. The building
will be 5ox6o and two stories high.
There will be two business rooms on the
ground floor and the second story will
be furnished for offices.
w. c. Fritter, the New York Life In
surance man, is spending the holidays
with his family. Mr.. Fritter is the lucky
owner of a large interest in mine in the
Republic district that has developed great
value recently. The present value of
Mr.. Fritter's interest is an ample fortune.
Mr.. Fritter is to be congratulated upon
his fortunate investment.

There are physical facts that practically
determine the policy of the o. R. s. N.
people in reference to the Clearwater
Basin railroad field. This corporation is
represented here by sphinx-like agents,
who look wise like owls and gloat over
the glory of their own knowledge COM
pared to the ignorance of the ordinary
humble seekers after information. The
o. r. & NJ, FIRST Of all, is evidently play
ing game of bluff in the field east of
Lewiston. The only thing sought now
seems to be an equitable compromise on
the gateway plan that was practically de-
fined last November. The 0. R. g. N.
evidently have made this bluster to secure
the reservation or Camas prairie feeder
which, in event Of the compromise, will
be part Of an elaborate Snake River
Valley system.
