Mr.. Reid Before the Caucus.

The joint caucus Saturday accomplish
ed absolutely nothing III so far as the ap-
preparations are concerned. An agree
ment was practically reached, however,
on legislation to authorize the issuance
of bonds for the state normal school at
Lewiston and the state university at
Moscow J. W. Ried of Lewiston, one
of the normal school regents, appeared
before the joint meeting of the appropria-
tion committees the previous day. MIR.
Reid pointed out the necessity for the
construction of two dormatories for the
normal school and asked for the issuance
of $500 of state bonds to cover the ex-
pense of constructing them and also the
cost of purchasing necessary apparatus
for the institution. He asked that
normal school lands be pledged for pay
ment of the bonds. 1t is understood
both the committees and the caucus gave
him to understand such action would be
taken. He asks for $4,000 for each OF the
dormatories and $500 for apparatus,
Frank Martin also appeared before
both organizations in the capacity of q
regent of the state university and asking
| for bonds to be issued to raise about $40,
600 with which to complete the university
building, university lands being pledged
to secure payment. This proposal als'
/ received favorable consideration,

Another Buffalo Sale.

The Spokesman Review of this morning
says the Buffalo Hump Development
Company yesterday concluded the pur-
chase of the remaining two-thirds of the
Gem City claim in the Buffalo Hump
camp, The company has already ac-
quired the other third from Judge X. F..
Carney of Grangeville. The vendors of
the remaining two-thirds were Dan
Greenwalt and Frank Ayotte. Sam l..
Silver1nan said last evening that the
price of the whole claim to the Buffalo
Hump Development Company was SIS
900. The Gem City is i'll the vicinity OF
the Hobson's Choice and is said to have
the same vein.
Mr.. Silverman received word from the
Hump yesterday that the lower tunnel
on the Jumbo is in 100 feet and is pene,
trating the same character of ore as that
in the upper tunnel, where average
values of $40 per ton were reported. HI
was also informed yesterday that cross

Toughs at Lapwai.

The distribution Of Indian money has
attracted many tough characters and des-
perate criminals to Lapwai. The Indians
seem indifferent to this condition. The
white business men of the better class
are more or less menaced by the unusual
gathering.
Old peace officers who have been on
the reservation report that many old
rogues are found out there, and that
some desperate crimes may be expected
to occur at any time. The holdup
the garroter and the sneak thiei
are all represented and it is not generally
believed they are there for their health
The temptation is very strong for tht
Icominital of crime out there. The til
horn act is the most common crime ant
then the practice of making indians
drunk and rolling them comes next
These are taken as matter of course
Every Indian has from 500 to $500 il
lmoney. The Indian is the most un
suspicious victim of the sharper on eartl
and at the same time he is the most un
lcomplaining. Unless some bold hold n
i occurs or a murder to shock the peopl
i lthese hordes Of criminals will disrers
without disturbing the public quietud
Ioutside of the little Lapwai valley.

The Railroad Situation.

The O. X. & n. is not exerting much
energy in this quarter at this time
Their engineering Office has been practi
caliv closed. Col Hammell the right of
way agent is still i'll the city but even he
seems to have lost his desire to inn
mediately close deals for the remaining
sections of right of way in this vicinity.
There really seems to have been some
important changes on the tapis here but
the secrets ofthe company are all guarded
sacredlv.
The contract has not yet been let be-
tween Lewiston and Riparia. 1t is fact
that the o. r. & n. is not letting any
big contracts on the Snake River Valley
road. The company sees to paying the
might be designated subs. Even on the
Wallula-Riparia extension the company
on its own account conducts store sup
ply station and it is said Kary Kendall
and Shields are not contracts iii this ex-
tension but simply agents Of the company.
This system after that of the Burlington
seems to be followed in all recent work
by the 0. r. & n.
Large forces of men are being engaged
for the rock work along the Q. X. & n.
| line between Lewiston and Riparia.
Sections of this work have been let to
small contractors and others are looking
over the ground daily with view to Ell
gaging in constructive work as soon as
the weather will permit economic ex'
ecution of the different kinds of the
work along the line.
The Northern Pacific is pushing work
up the Clearwater i'll season and out
The weather has been unusually harsh
for this work and progress were impeded
very much by frost and SNOW. The North
ern is no doubt pushing forward with tht
trade or the Buffalo camp in view more
than the cutoff scheme They have lie
the O. R. & n. steal a march on them il
the valley of the Middle Fork if the,
ever had serious intentions in that direc
ltion. The Northern has in fact extend
ed its surveys up the south fork beyond
the junction, and this indicates that ih'
cutoff isa secondary consideration. I
is not generally believed that feasible
route over the Bitter Roots could be fount
by this southern route.

The River Improvement Bill.

The bill to grant franchises for the
improvement of the rivers of this state
for the benefit of lumber men passed yes
terdav The bill authorizes lein upon
all timber which engages the facilities of
the river improvement companies III
transportation. The tolls are to be I'M
der the supervision of the state land
board and 10 be regulated by this board
not greater than maximum rate fixed
by the law.
1t is provided that rivers which are
not available for driving and rafting logs
may be improved under applications and
regulations by private companies who
shall have the right to charge toll to
keep up the booms, dams and locks,
This bill is of special Importance to
Lewiston and the Clearwater timber
region. The lumber business at this
point and i'll this whole region has been
retarded by the danger attending the
safety and driving of logs on the Clear
water. 1t has been estimated that an ex-
penditure OF SAC, 900 would he necessary
to build booins and storage ponds at this
place. This was not practical without a
franchise to enforce a toll lein against
the timber
1t is understood that capitalists stand
ready to take hold of the work of I'M
proving the Clearwater and its tributaries.
\ boom for holding and sorting logs will
be built at this point, and large storage
ponds will be provided for holding tim.
Der This will greatly facilitate the lum
Der business at this point by removing
all danger Of loss of logs after they have
been foated down from the mountains
This work will be especially designed foi
the handling of the white pine timber OF
Elk creek. That stream is obstructet
with falls that will have to be overcome
with expensive chutes and excavations
| 1t is believed this law will make Lewis
ton the chief lumber center of the north
west. The timber tributary to this plac'
with improved facilities for water trans
portation is greater i'll quantity and bette
in quality than that of any other point il
| the northwest This feature insures ou
future as a manufacturing center.

Ores and Attitudes.

The following statement made By @.
". Milton, in communication to the
Denver News, will be read with interest by
miners generally;
aAs matter Of fact, there is not a
single lode mine, either gold or silver,
in the state of Colorado, below an altitude
of 5000 feet and there are very few, if
any, below Soooo feet. Why this is so
am unable to say. Yet it is matter OF
fact. Notwithstanding there have been
millions of dollars expended in prospect
inp and developing properties below
1900 feet in Colorado Yet there Is no'
a single mine to show for the outlay
Hence, il, my Judgment. prospectors and
investors will do veil in future to corr
slider altitude as we'll as indications,

The fruit crop Of the Lewiston valley
has practically escaped damage from the
late freeze. The apricots were perhaps
killed and the foreign grapes which were
unprotected by niulching are perhaps
frozen back Some of the peach buds
were killed, but enough are now alive to
make big crop. The harder varieties
of fruit were not injured in the least.
