Mellen Booming.

Capt. j. G. Wright, proprietor of the
Mellen townsite, was in the city this
week for day or two. He reports the
sale of % lots. The greater portion of
them are for business houses and the
buildings are going up rapidly. Large
quantities of grain are being received
for shipment daily. Two new ware
houses are already full and two more in
construction.
Sam Phinney and Mr.. Woodward have

Eastern parties are figuring on putting
a fifty barrel flour mill at this point in

The government title to the land has
been perfected and warrantee deeds can
now be made. Lots are selling at from
$25 TO $50 per lot. Mellen is at the
termination Of the Lapwai branch and is
the nearest railroad point to large por-
ton of the reservation. A large amount
of grain will be shipped from this point.
The grain buyers are paying out daily
large amounts to the farmers for wheat,
fax and other grains, and the stores find
| ready sale for their stocks of merchadise.
There is a demand for more and better
facilities for handling the trade.

Immi rants for Idaho.

The report of Terence V. Powderly,
commissioner general of immigration,
for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1899,
shows that 3II,7I5 immigrants were adj
mtted to the United States last year. OF
these 1910 gave their destination when
admitted as Washington State and 2I3
Idaho.
Idaho's quota consisted of only three
professional people, one being teacher
and two whose profession was not speci-
fed. Idaho also had "A skilled mechau-
les, including one butcher, one cobbler,
one mariner, one mechanic not specified,
2S miners, one saddler, one seamstress,
four shoemakers, five tailors, and one not
specified. Those with miscellaneous &C.
equations aggregated 1871, including IS
farmers, as farm laborers, 81 laborers, 10
merchants, IS servants, and four not
stated. Forty-fve were without occupa-
tons.
Many natiouaiities were represented i'll

The Branch to Or0flnO.

The Clearwater extension of the
Northern Pacific has been completed to
Orohno and is turned over to the operet-
ing department. The present service,
however is only by means fwork trains.
The regular schedule will probably be
put on about Wednesday of next week
when the telegraph line will be com.
pleted to that point.
The time card when issued will give a
daily train leaving Oroino in the morn
ing for Lewiston and returning to Orc
hno i'll the afternoon. Every other day
the train will run from Spalding up to
Mellen and return as part of its trip to
Lewiston.
1t is probable that all freight in car
load lots will be side tracked at the
Potlatch, either freight going in or going
out. All other freight either way will
be brought to Lewiston for transfer.
This make Lewiston the main depot for
the shipment and transfer of all freight
for the branch lines handled in less than
carload lots and most of it is of that
kind.

Fire in the Odd Fellows Building.

A disastrous fire broke out in the Odd
Fellows building Thursday morning
about O'Clock, and i'll spite of the val
liant wor of the volunteer fire depart
ment, resulted in cutting, the building
and inilcting loss of some SIS 900 upon
the property and stock enclosed
The lower floor was occupied by the
Nez | cree Implement Co. The Paris
Millinery aud A. c. Coburns paint shop.
The upper floor is lodge room for
several of the local societies. The fire
was discovered first by Madam De Cour-
cey the milliner. who alarmed those who
slept i'll the rear of the Implement store.
The fire was i'll the front in the millinery
rooms and soon spread to the paints and
oils in the implement store and burned
with great rapidity. The volunteer fire
department made a gallant effort and
saved the building, but the contents is
damaged beyond recovery.
The first floor of the building is a
charred wreck, the upper floor is badly
damaged by fire and water and all the
lodge paraphanalia ruined. The Odd
Fellows had an insurance of $4,000 on the
building but nothing on the lodge furni
ture and paraphanalia, where among
other losses the Rcbekah's lose new
piano valued at $500. The X. of p
and Rathbone Sisters lose all of theil
paraphanalia on which they had an in
surance of $500. Their loss is probably
$500. The Nez Perez Implement Co
suffer the hcavist loss, their insuranc,
was only $4,000 en- stock valued at $r2,
600 most of which is entirely destroyed
Madame De Courcey lost her entire stock
insurance S32oo. A. c. Coburn lost
stock of paints and oils valued at $500
no insurance.
The Odd Fellows will repair the build
ing as soon as the loss is adjusted. TIL
entire insurance will hardly make then
whole again Critman Bros of the Ne
Perez Implement Co. will at once re
plenish their stock and will retain thei
lease on the building.
