Branch of Labor Union Organized.

AT the meeting held in the Masonic
hall last evening, to organize branch of
the Western Labor union, there was a
surprisingly large attendance, consider
ing that all the advertising given the
matter had consisted of small boy
carrying banner announcing the place
and time of meeting. There were actu-
ally IT'S persons present. The organizer,
Editor Walker, of Spokane, made an
eloquent speech, stating the object of the
meeting, and what was hoped to be at
tanned by the formation of the branch
union. He furnished proof to show that
the trades unions of other cities, and of
Spokane especially, and the business men
were working in amity, and where tried
the union had been productive of good to
the community at large. He was fol-
lowed by Messrs. Leary, Zurnstein and
others. After the speaking the meeting
proceeded to organization. Ninety names
were signed to the roll, officers elected,
committees appointed, and the meeting
adjourned to meet again next Saturday
night at place yet to be named.
The following officers were elected:
President, F.. G. Kelleher; vice-president,
F. R. Peale; secretary, Richard Hunter;
treasurer, Ben Zurnstein; financial sec
rotary, Chas. R. Leary; sergeant at-arms,
J. ]. Murphy.
An executive committee consisting of

Death of Charley Robbins.

Charles F. Robbins one of the original
discoveries of the Buffalo camp died in
this city Thursday afternoon. The
sufferer came to Lewiston week ago
He had been drinking to excess in
Grangeville and made the journey in a
weakened condition. The exposure OF
the stage trip was more than he could
stand and he was taken down with
pneumonia soon after his arrival in this
city.
He received the best possible medical
treatment Drs. Stirling and Monkey
waited upon him at first and last Wednes-
day DR.. Bibby of Grangeville who was
called in consultation arrived and re-
manned with the sick man till he died.
Deceased was practical miner and a
thorough prospector. He had located
other good properties in his career. He
was raised to the life of miner and
prospector. California was his native
state but he had visited all the mining
>NiAN~AS - shN ~Oaheiy' liz SOiuC
locations in the Occur d'Alenes which
proved to be valuable.
He was liberal to fault and he dis
played great personal courage ON one
occasion at least. He saved the life OF
two fellow miners who were over come
with damp, by fearlessness and presence
of mind. He held them in the bucket
after they had become limp and sense
less. He was esteemed by his associates.
Deceased owned one eighth interest in
the big Buffalo mine. Something over
$50, 900 was still due him from that sale.
This interest will perhaps go to his
sisters who it is said live in California.
He died without will and the property
will be distributed in time to his natural
heirs. 1t is also supposed by some that
his mother is living. In that event she
will be the lawful heir to his interests.

Cottonwood a Railroad Center.

Sam Goldstone who has been in tn,
city few days on business connected
with the railroad depot grounds ant
right ofway in and about Cottonwood ex
presses great confidence in the future o
that little city. He is assured that the
0. R. & N. at least will build to Cotton
wood during the present year.
He does not think this road will be ex
tended Immediately to the east side O
Camas prairie. In fact he says there i:
nothing to be gained by such extension
as Cottonwood occupies commanding
position in relation to the trade of that
region. He thinks the o. R. & N will
ultimately be extended to Buffalo by the
Salmon river route from Cottonwood
There is an easy grade to Salmon from
that place and that extension will tap a
very rich mining and stock country or
Salmon all the way. 1t will pass within
seven miles of the Big Buffalo mine and
tap the Mallick district.
The Northern Pacific is also seeking q
route to Cottonwood and the engineer.
will soon be in town with complete
location.
There seems to be no doubt says Mr.
Goldstone that Cottonwood will be a
terminus for year or two unless the
Salmon river extension is hurried on to
give an outlet for Buffalo and Mallick.
Cottonwood is the grain and lumber and
stock trade center of vast district.
