STIRRING STUART.
Strike on the Middle Fork High Water,
and Items Galore.

A meeting OF the village trustees
was held on Thursday evening last,
when there were present DR.. J.
X. McHugh, in the chair; Messrs.
Chenoweth, Gordon and Browning.
The business Of the evening was
to select site for Jail building,
and after considerable discussion it
was decided to go on with the con.
tract, which has been let to Mr..
Gerald, on a site some little dist
ance from the city. 1t was also re-
solved that the few remaining lots
be advertised for sale in the DAILY
PRESS. A site was set aside for the
Presbyterian church, which de-
nomination has a goodly sum col
lected, and the contract for build
ing may be let at once.
The high water of the past week
has subsidized and the ferries are
working again, and the water
bound prospector can now be seen
heading towards the middle fork
as before.
A prospector named Carlson
reached Stuart on Wednesday and
reports rich strike on Maggie
creek. Mr.. Carlson would not give
any particulars, seeming in a great
hurry to get to Spokane, and left
directly after supper for an all nj !. hit
ride. A mild rush has set in for
the vicinity.
The body of a man was seen
floating past the single mill Tues
day last, and some saddle gear was
picked up on the bank some dist
ance up the canyon. Evidently
some unfortunate prospector has
tried to cross while the river was
high and was washed down the
river.
-Four wagon loads of furniture
arrived to the order of James
Stuart today, most Of which was
sold before arrival. The town OF
Stuart is called after this gentle
man, and is to be congratulated on
having in it's midst one who has the
energy and foresightedness which
Mr.. Stuart has shown in business
matters.
Mr.. Schwartz and family arrived
Wednesday. He will take up the
butchering business, already estab-
lished here.
Preparations for a grand celebra-
ton on the Fourth grows apace.
The Kamiah Indian band has bee n
engaged and other arrangements
for rousing good time are being
made. venture to state the COM
ing Fourth will be one such as has
never been seen in these parts be-
fore.

Railroad Location Filed.

| Lew iston Tribune,
The o. X. & N. company has
taken the final step in the matter
of the line from Lewiston to Mt.
ldaho-final so far as maps are
concerned. The next step is con-
struction.
Yesterday the local office re-
ceived from Portland the filing
maps showing the definitely located
line. After noting the route on
the plats here the officials sent the
maps to the general land commits
ioner at Washington.
These maps show in detail the
whole line as located and it is pos
sible from the information given to
show each 20-acre tract crossed.
The filing gives the company the
right of way 200 feet wide over
government land and the future
filings of settlers are subject to this
right of way. 1t also gives the
company the right to select a ten
acre tract every ten miles for depot
purposes.
BY means of these maps the In
dians on the reservation can also
be dealt with.
Ehe line commences in north
Lewiston at the state line between
Idaho and Washington, goes up the
Clearwater on the north side to
Spaulding, where a 5000, 900 bridge
will be built. Then on the south
branch of the Clearwater it goes to
the mouth of Big canyon, opposite
Lenore, up Big canyon to Little
canyon and up Little canyon to the
prairie close to Nez Perez. Cross
ing the prairie it strikes Lawyers
canyon which it follows to the head,
then goes in II fairly straight line
through Cottonwood, Denver and
Grangeville to Mt. Idaho. The
total distance is nearly 100 miles.

A number Of newspapers in the
outside world have just discovered
that Grangeville and Idaho county
have resources which only await
the magic touch of advertising TO
wake to grand development at 50
much per touch. The touching"
business is getting overdone in this
locality and the next enthusiast
from Spokane or elsewhere who at
tempts the "touch" business will
be politely told to walk on the 9TH
or side of the street.
The Grangeville Press is author
ity for the statement that Special
Agent Schwartz of the general land
office has recommended to the in
terror department the exclusion Of
the Buffalo Hump district from the
restrictions of the forest reserve.
If this is so Messrs. Glendenning
and Schwartz certainly did that
which win endear them to the
people of Idaho. Conditions
change everything, and SO long as
the Bitter Root range remained a
wilderness the restrictions were all
right, but with the busy activity
now noticeable there it is quite diff
ferent.-So says the Patriot.

A letter from John T. higgins
says that the body of A. T. Short
hill was first discovered floating
past his ferry and being unable to
catch it, W. A. Irwin and another
man started on horseback to Amos
Carver's, ten miles below, where
there was a boat in the hone of
getting the body there. They could
get nobody to man the boat, SO DR..
McCallie dispatched a man to Slate
creek to catch him there. On the
way down they found Mr.. Turnbull
with his boat on this side of the
river and upon notifying him he
watched and succeeded in securing
the body. Mr.. higgins says the
two first men rode their horses
down to get to Carver's before the
body got there, and he thinks If
there is any reward it should he
divided q, equally among the four of
them.

.ecOrd of the Clubs.

Rain prevented the game scheduled for
Brooklyn yesterday between the Washing
ton and Brooklyn clubs, and the contest
will come off later in the season. The same
conditions prevailed at Philadelphia, and
the New Yorks and Quakers were prevent
ed from coming together. Dinneen and
Kennedy will probably be the opposing
twirlers this afternoon.
A report comes from Brooklyn, Mr.. Wag-
ner being given the authority, that a
new shortstop from the Eastern League
will replace Hulen in Saturdays game
The question Is, who Is the man? -Four ex-
senatorial shortstops are now playing IN
the Eastern League. Gatins is with Hart
ford, Scheibeck with Montreal, Cooney
with Providence and Wagner with Toronto.
This leaves Shannon now with Springfield,
who some years since was tried by Louis
vile; Woodlock with Syracuse, Bean with
Rochester and Smith with Worcester. If
the new Shortstop is to come from the
Eastern League the chances are that IL
will be either Bean or Woodlock. Sham
non and Smith are veterans, and Manager
Irwin takes very little stock in seasoned
timber.
1t is more than probable that if a new
shortstop is to come to Washington he Will
be brought from the Atlantic League.
'Zeke' Wrigley is with the Richmonds.
and is head and shoulders above the short
stops OF the minor leagues, but II would be
a confession of weakness for the local peo-
pie to go after man they have released,
and for this reason the ex-senator will
hardly be recalled. The most promising
man in sight for the position Is Anterior,
playing second base for the Wilkesbarre
club, but as the Brooklyn club has already
placed the graphing irons on him he will
have to be overlooked. Another possibility
is little Madison, now with Pittsburg, who
played with Lancaster last season. The
fans of the smoky city are calling for
him to replace Ely in the Pirates infieid,
and Manager Watkins believes this out
cry affects the work of his regular man.
For this reason Madison may be the man
Manager Irwin has in view. -klopf New
arkS ShortStop, and Cockman, with Read
ing, are other good men in the Atlantic
League.
Hundreds of local enthusiasts were sore
on Wrigley last season and were almost
continually calling for a new man to re-
place him. Since the sailor boy has been
away painful contrast has been present.
ed, and on top of 1t the ex-senator is play

the bat and in the field.

est they ever heard of: While playing with
Boston a bah was hit past second. AS it
bounded past Long saw he had no chance
to get it with his hands, so while running
at top speed he stuck out his left foot
caught the ball on his toe and kicked it
into the hands of Joe Quinn, who was play
ing second. Quinn fired it to first, making
a great double play. There was no fiuke
about it. Long seemed quite sure of it.
