Snow COmpelS Party to Stop.

Prof. Lindgren of the U. S. Geological
Survey and party arrived i'll the CITY
Wednesday evening and disbanded. The
party commenced work in Montana three
months ago, crossing the Bitter Root
Mountains, and upon reaching the Clear
water river they proceeded into the inte-
rior Of Idaho county, taking observations.
Mr.. Lindgren stated that it was his intcn-
ton to return back to Stevensville, Mont,
which is situate in the Bitter Root val
ley, via the Lo Iso trail, but as the season
Is so lar advanced he had to forego the
trip at present. 1t is his intention to
90 through the Pierce mining district and
make the trip next season.

Got Across the State Line.

A warrant of arrest was issued last
night at the instance Of Tessie Cohn
charging kid" Burns with assault. The
warrant was given to the sheriff to serve
but the much wanted man after commit
ing the alleged crime thought probably
the climate over in Washington was
more agreeable, so hired cab and aske ed
to be driven to Vineland, thus evading
the officers.
Burns served several weeks past in the
county Jail and was acquitted last week
in the district court on the charge oi
pick pocketing. 1t is likely this latest
move of his will be the cause of his
absence from the city for an indefinite
period.

tials Of Methods" published by d. c.
Heath & Co Boston.
The price of the former, including

The question in Theory and Art for
the November, February and May

Governor May Become
an IdahOan.

1t is reported by reader Of the Mil
waukee Sentinel that in recent issue of
that paper, in an alleged interview with
Governor Schofield, he stated that he was
closing out his lumber business there as
rapidly as possible and at the expiration
Of his term Of Office he expected to move
to Idaho to take up his residence and en-
gage in numbering on large scale, and
:!:a: he and his soH George wouid also
move their large mill to This State next
spring. The North Idaho Star says there
has been two timber experts in the White
Pine Belt for the past few weeks making
estimates and thinks they are in the en-
ploy of the Schofield combine. II also
says: "There has been well-uefned
rumor abroad for some time that the
State Land Board had been approached
on the matter of the sale of its white pine
holdings, and it is more than likely that
Governor Schofeld is the man behind
the negotiations. The State owns the
only large body of this timber that could
be negotiated for direct. And If the
Schofelds succeed in getting it they will
have material for their mills TO work
upon for many years 10 come.

Clark Seeks a Better Grade

T. A. Clark, Assistant Engineer of the
N. P. Ry., left with corps of engineers
Thursday morning to run line from the
South Fork of the Clearwater river onto
Camas prairie. The engineering depart
ment do not seem to be satisfied with the
grade they have on any of the lines so
far run, none of them it is said being
less than 3 per cent.
Mr.. Clark will run line up Butcher
creek, stream that heads in between
Mt, Idaho and Grangeville and empties
into the Clearwater. He is of the opinion
that he will be able to find grade by

to our interests, il really will benefit us
eventually, for the reason that 1t will be

cannot undertake a railroad project with
out first removing the obstacles now ex-
