Through decision rendered at
San Francisco by the United States
circuit court of appeals, the Idaho
strickers, who were convicted of a
conspiracy to obstruct train carry
ing the mails, will secure theirre-
lease from San Quentin.
The case is one growing ont of
the big strike in Idaho in 1899 and
the destruction of the mill of the
Bunker Hill '& Sullivan Mining
company.
In their decision Judges Gilbert,
Ross and Morrow call attention 60
the fact that the indictment does
not charge that tho conspiracy had
for its purpose to knowingly OBJ
strnct the mails.

The City council met in special
session Monday evening to take up
the water works proposition. After
thoroughly canvassing the matter
it was decided to send word to Mr..
Faris TO come on, with view to
granting him franchise for sys-
tenn. All safeguards possible is to
accompany the granting of the fran
chise, and a special clause is to be
inserted that the city shall have ali
option on the plant to close a deal
for the same at u specified price at
any time the city can buy.
The EXAMINER applauds the de-
cisiom of the council in thus matter
and we hope by the time spring
comes the material will be on hand
20 begin the work. This is a most
important matter and every assist
ance should be rendered by the peo
pie in order that the plan may be
carried out.

A Pleasant Surprise.

Last Monday evening, while the
writer and his wife were quietly
reading in the sitting room Of their
home, a rap came at the door.
Upon opening it two dozen or more
members Of the Ladies of the Mac
cabees and some Of their friends,
rushed in and took possession of
the house, and until midnight
merry time was passed, They
brought with them An elegant wood
en- chair, the event being in honor
of the fifth anniversary Of our we'd
ding. During the evening splen-
did lunch was served, which had
also been brought by the surprisers.
The surprise had been so carefully
planned that not n member of the
household knew a word of it, al
though Mrs. Harris occupies the
position of lady commander OF the
hive, and Is supposed TO know al
that is going on among the Bees
AS we stated at the time, it i
such acts as these that makes q lif,
seem all the more worth living, an,
the recipients of this favor appreci
ute it more than words can begil
to express. May the sunshine o
happiness always be the lot of tn
Maccabces.

The Governor rs Enthusiastic.

We forgot last week to chronicle
the arrival in Grangcville of Gov.
Frank Steunenberg, who came over
land in wagon from the Pierce
city country, where he had been
with Major G. A. Williams and
Frank Gilbert, of Moscow, to look
at some plaoer ground in which he
contemplates investing. The visit
Of the governor is absolutely with
out political Significance, and he
only Game this way across the Nex
Peree reservation in order to see for
himself the situation in regard TO
some of the state school lands con-
cerning the appraised difference OF
opinion between the state officials
and parties who contemplate pur-
the same Gov. Steuncnbcrg autor-
ised ns TO set at rest the statements
of tho republican papers that he IN
either hostile or Indifferent to the
success of the democratic state
ticket.
So far from being dissatisfied, he
is enthusiastically supporting the
ticket and has volunteered his
services to take the stump through
out the state for the democratic
ticket. He thinks that outside of
Ada, NeE Perce, Latai,, and poa-
slbly, Oneida counties, the rcpub-
llcans have absolutely no show, ana
all their claims To the contrary arc
simply bluff without any substan.

WHATCOM, Sept l9-W. j. Connors
the representative in this section OF En-
glish & Son. mining men Of Blake City.
Or, states that English q Son have re-
leased all their interests in the Post
Lambert properties. and there is no like
lihood that they will ever take up the
proposition again. having allowed their
option for $4,000 to completely lapse. IL
Is stated on the outside that there is
some hard feeling between Hahn & Co.
owners Of the property, and English 4
Son, which tends 10 keep them further
apart on any negotiations. Mr.. Connors
expresses the greatest confidence in the
property and II is generally known that
an apparent defect in the title caused the
failure to consummate the sale.
The work of development OF the prop
erty Is being continued on the same scale
as that carried out by English & Son,
and Hahn < Co. are sending in supplies
of sufficient quantity to provision a good
force OF men all winter. They VIII put
in a stamp mill and other machinery in
the spring
English & Son spent $4,000 developing
the mines but II is believed they made
considerable more than that out OF the
rock packed out. Two and one-half tons
of picked quartz was sacked up by Mr..
Connors' men, and this has been packed
out since English e. Son released their
option. Ii was supposed that Hahn &
Co. would fall heir TO this rock and It is
said that its removal by the former COM
pany is one of the grounds for the
strained relations between the two. Out
side parties. who have seen the rock.
innate its value at about $4,000 TO the
ton. Mr.. Connors insists, however. that
this is much too high Returns from the
rock have not yet been received. Min
ing men who know the property and what
the rock from IL really is. do not dues-
ton that English & Son will realize
enough from this two and one-half tons
TO at least clear them on the $1,000 eX-
pended on the property.
