SIEzED THE NINE.
The Iron Dyke in the Hands of Tn.
paid Employees.

Mouth of Pine, Or, July 20
The Iron Dyke mine belonging to the
Northwest Copper company, shut
down yesterday with the employees in
possession.
For three months there has not
been a pay day and the men employ
ed in the mine concluded to take pos
session of the property until such
time as they would see the color of
some of their pay.
Two guards were placed over the
property in the day and two at night.
For an extra precaution the men
drilled hole in some rock near the
mine and loaded it with powder, cap
and fuse. This they intend to touch
off, if any attempt is made by the
management to regain possession oi
the niue, as a signal to the rest to
fall in line. There is no doubt that
the men are in earnest.
The work on the Ok Bow tunne
is practically shut down as there are
only about dozen men left on tho
work. Orman & Crook, the railroad
contractors, are in as great arrears
in the payment of their help as the
Northwest Railway company and th'
Northwest Copper company. Thre
months pay back is due and no in
dications of anything in sight imme
diately. A pay day will have to b
forthcoming pretty soon if the wor
is to be continued, as no one can b
induced to work much longer withou
pay.

The fame Of this part of Idaho is
rapidly spreading, eastern papers
almost daily publishing articles re-
garding the new road and the won
ders of the great region it opens
The latest on our table is a half col
umn from the Philadelphia Record.
The Salt Lake Tribune states that
the Oregon Short Line has just sold
engine 5l9 to the p & l. N This
will doubtless take the place of Q
S. J.. engine 200, which has been
loaned the P & l. N. but is too light
for construction work. A number OF
cars are also being secured from
Short Line
An eastern Car company is turn
ing out the equipments of the new
road The equipment articles call
for seven locomotives, nearly all OF
which will be new and powerful ma
chimes. The passenger coaches will
be the best turned out Of modern
works.
The frame work of the new com
pany building at Weiser is rapidly
going skyward and begins to indicate
what fine structure it will be when
completed
Another car of sewer pipe has ar
rived and workmen are engaged III

The frame work of the immense
water tank is being placed IN position
and the size astonshes those who are
familiar with the equipment of the
best roads in the country. 1t is de

On last Saturday afternoon, July
22ud, Emma, the five. year old daugh-

and her father WAS cutting logs about
u quarter of mile away
A gentleman who was passing
heard the child's screams and imme-

smothered the flames. He then gave
the child to her mother, who by that
time had reached camp, and rushed
for doctor and to inform Mr.. Fir

INDIANS NOT DYING OUT.
The Next Census Likely to Show
Over 100000 of Them.

"The Indian is by no means an

not much improved morally from
what he was, but he has not fallen
behind to any noticeable extent. 1t

and while eventually the Indian will
have to go, he is not gathering mp

"There are many kinds there. The

Closing Portion of the Noted Att0r-
ney's Argument in Dynamite Case
EXPLODES A POLITICAL CRY
EHectualIy smAshes the Cry Of the visclous
Press that the Administration IL
Against Organized Labor.

When d ,rah made his argument
in the trial OF Paul Corcoran, now in
the state penitentiary, his closing
was fine, and was not only crushing
denunciation OF anarchy in the state,
but was thundrous rebnke to the
measley sheets of the state that are
so stepped in narrow partisan infamy
that nothing appeals to their better
nature, il any they have, and the
coy ote cry of ''assailment Of organ
zed labor on the part OF the admin
stration is the ouIy thing their mal-
ignity can evolve from the situation.
Mr.. Borah said:
''Gentemen of the jury, before
close | want to disclaim again both
individually, and as representative
of the state, all intention of attacking
organized labor. want to leave the
brand OF contempt upon that malic-
ious falsehood. 1t is willful as it is
base, as despicable as it is unfair.
cit is not only the right, but the
imperative duty of labor to organize.
The men who endure the hardships,
bear the burden and incur the risks
of underground mining, are certainly
entitled to every advantage which
lawful organization can give them.
Labor organizations, upon legiti-
mate basis and for n Legitimate pur-
pose, are not only entitled 10 the re-
spect but to the encouragement and
protection OF the public and the
state. Organizations which would
foster the manhood, nourish the
Americapism and elevate the mind
and characters of its members are y
grand thing. They bride the greed,
check the stately tread of capital,
they unite the interests and harmon

Of the P. & 1. N. Goes From Price
Valley.
ALL WELL ON THE SALMON
Chief Engineer Moore Pleased at the Splen-
did Line Obtained.

While the p. & l. N. officials
have not authorized the statement,
the SIGNAL feels safe in saying that
the Seven Devils branch of the P u
|. N will go from Price valley. The
movements of the company plainly
indicate this 10 be the intention.
This move means much to the road
in an economical way, the route be-
ing much better in grade, much less
expensive and shorter At least 20
miles of branch line will be saved
which means the retaining of so
much invested capital; and the per-
manent economy of future operating
expenses is q most important item.
1t will make the distance by rail from
Weiser to Seven Devils five or six
miles longer.
Chief Engineer Moore is well
pleased with the reports from the
surveying crews on the Little Salmon,
the advance force of which has reach
ed the main Salmon with the prelim
mary and is now climbing up to thu
Camas Prairie. Col Moore says i
is an ideal line, and nowhere as ye
has exceeded one and one-h half pc
cert grade, this being found in Wei
ser canyon between Council ant
Price valley. The right-of-way o.
this portion of the line is now bein
cleared. As the progress advance
on the enterprise it becomes NOR
and more patent that it will be TIL
greatest boon the state has enjoye
for some time The giving ofsNal
ren, Long valley, Florence and tt
entire interior part Of the state clos
railway facilities is something in
mense and future development is q

KERFOOT A KNOCKER
Adventures of Assessor Dan Kerfoot
and George Dean, Jr.
PARALYzED THE DYNAMITERS
Dan Mean Enough, However, to Avoid the
Signal and Give the Story to Another
Paper.

Dan Kerfoots fame as knocker
not in the slang sense but in the
line of manly arts so we'll known
in these parts as to require no eluci-
datlon and he meets with just enough
adventures to prevent the fact that
he was once champion boxer Of the
University of Virginia from falling
into obscurity. While he was loca-
ted at Mineral, persons who had
grudges against Dan on two or three
occasions imported professional ring
fighters into the camp to work osten-
sibly as miners until an opportunity
could be found to pick quarrel
with Dan and do him up. Dan was
keen enough to catch olto the lay of
things, and, under the necessities of
the occasion, he was too conscien-
cious to keep the stranger on still
hunt too long, and they invariably
left camp soon deploring the quest
that had taken them in there and

Dams latest exercise was found at

which is told in the Statesman as
follows:
D H. Kerfoot, assessor and ex-
sheriff of Washington county, and
|. T. Smith, auditor of that county,
came up Saturday evening from
Weiser. A good story is told of
how Assessor Kerfoot handled n
crowd of Ceur d'Alene anarchists
who had gone from Shoshone county
to the Seven Devils
Mr.. Kerfoot had gone to the Seven
Devils to do some assessing, being
accompanied 10y deputy sheriff, SOL

north Idaho dynamiter crowd at
cabin where they spent the night
The dynamters had organized prize
fight and two of them were hammer

front of the cabin
Assessor Kerfoot suggested to the
deputy sheriff that there was ]ol

sultation it was decided to stop th'

tized by the deputy sheriff to assls
him.
Assessor Kerfoot is something o

tc a show down. He is a colleg

situation presented suited him exact
ly.
The two deputies sailed forth an
a demand was made that the ligl

the officers. To obey would be

Adjutant General Nearer is of the
opinion that it will be impossible 10
have Idaho's volunteer regiment
which has been in service in the
Philippines brought to the state in a
body. They will be discharged in
San Francisco where they will "break
ranks and come To their respective
homes in such manner rs they may
see fit. They will, however, be met
in SanFrancisco by many representa-
tive people of the state, some of
whom are even now enroute for the
Pacific coast, so as to be sure and be
present when the steamship Grant,
which is bringing back 4Sl OF the
Idaho boys, arrives at the Golden

By being mustered out in San
Francisco The boys get about $40 ex-
ira pay as mileage, and owing to this
fact it is understood that it is the de-
