CLEARWATER CONSTRUCTION
Companies Hope for Peace
But Prepare for War.
THE TRUCE NOT PERMANENT
THE TRUCE NOT PERMANENT
Too Many Conflicting Interests In
the Railroad Situation 10
Insure Peace.

As the end of the six months truce
draws near every body is ON the alert for
pointers on the railroad situation. Here
in the field there are many indications
that both roads mean topush the fight
into the Clearwater country. All right
Of way contests are being settled and
filings Of piats and maps and other legal
preliminary matters are being disposed
Of with haste and precision.
Outside news is much Of the same
tenure. A Wall street correspondent to
the Spokesman Review, an insider, says:
Reports from the west that the Clear
water row will break out again are only
true to this extent; No permanent truce
has been provided for and we find it hard
to agree on certain terms Of permanent
truce. The situation is complicated and
vexing. A permanent settlement necessi-
tates sacrifices of pet schemes by both
sides and possibly the smothcring Of some
personal feelings. Weappreciate the inn
portancc of getting together again very
soon to arrive at better understanding
than has thus far been possible. So far
no construction has been done in disputed
territory, but Mellen and Mohler seem to
be figuring on clash afterwards by lay.
ing out lines that could not be built un.
der permanent truce. All can say is
that if they consider our wishes they
will go slow and not entangle us still
further.
Speaking broadly, you might say that
the financial interests most concerned
are too wise to permit a serious con
sruction war, but 1t strikes me they could
not help themselves If certain profectct
lines were built. There are as many in
terests as issues involved in that Clear
water situation, and it is hard to tel
what the final outcome will be, We ar,
hoping for permanent truce satisfactor,
to all concerned. But the more ! looi
at the map the fainter my hope becomes
Yes, we will likely have conference
very soon."

A new route was practically agreed
upon. After crossing Catholic Gulch the

Improvements at the Jail.

When prisoners are committed to the
Nez Perce county Jail now they go in to
stay. There will be no more Jail deliver
les. The new equipment is being rapidly
put in place. 1t consists of complete
lining of walls aud ceiling with SIG
Bessemer steel. The window easements
are placed above mans reach from the
inside and screen of steel mesh will
cover the opening, making it impossible
for anything to be passed in from the
outside. The cage has been moved into
the southwest corner of the room and
placed firmly against the wall. Prison.
ers will always be in plain sight from the
door, and the jailer will have to take nc
chances of surprise planned for him
out of his line of vision. T. B. Cooper
has the contract for putting the stee
equipment in place and the job viii
probably be completed this week.

The Council Reconslders.

AT an adjourned meeting of the city
council held Monday night the memorial
passed last week was reconsidered and
sent to the Judiciary committee for recon-
structior. This is the result Of weeks
serious thought and represents without
doubt the sentiment of the citizens OF
Lewiston, relative TO the matter. Council
man Wilkinson on making the motion to
reconsider the former vote of the body
was very frank in stating that the pre-
vious vote was hasty AMI ill-advised.
There was no opposition to this disposal
of the question, and in its modified form
it will no doubt be called mp at the next
regular meeting.
Another feature of the evenings meet
ing was the action taken on the resolu-
ton from Mr.. Libby asking for an ex-
tension on his street railway franchise
the limit of which expires Feb. S, 1900.
Mr.. Libby asked for years extension
and in support of the assertion that his
company were acting in good faith he
submitted correspondence showing that
the order for steel rails and equipment
had been placed by Mr.. Adams with the
manufacturers but that owing to rush oi
orders the plant and equipment could
not possibly be had before midsummer
Shaft and Wilkinson took the ground
that since the franchise did not expire
before the next regular meeting that
action upon the resolution should be
postponed till that time, and although
|. such postponement places the franchise
DANCE rously near the limit of its expira
tion, this was the best that could be
done. A motion to reconsider this wa.
voted down.
This is not to be construed as being al
! unfavorable action toward Mr.. Libby OF
the company he represents. The counci
was as Mr.. Wilkinson suggested suffering
from a reaction over basty considera
tion aud were not in a mood to act upoi
any weighty matter.
The report of the street committee wa.
to the effect that the property owners oil
Main street i'll the vicinity of the Ode
Fellows building were not DISPOSED t.
give up their property for street purpose
and it was evident that the council hat
no intention of buying.

The Shaw Dramatic Co.

The above attraction has been holding
the boards at the Opera House this week
and playing to crowded houses. The
company announced a week Of Music,
Mirth, Merrincnt and Amusement and
their successful opening insures a com.
plete fulfillment Of that promise to the
letter. The company opened Monday
night in that breezy comedy called the
"Westerner." 1t caught the audience
just right. Sam T. Shaw in the title role
has a pleasing personality that is infec.
tive, and his supporting company Is
strong throughout The orchestra is an
additional feature Of the evenings pro-
gramme, the xylophone and trombone
soloists winning the heartiest applause.
The bill last night was that strong
comedy drama, "From Sire to Son.
Tonight the bill will be Love and Law
There will be change each night Of the
week and Saturday matinee. The Shaw
Dramatic company is the best that has
ever visited Lewiston, and the people arc
seizing the opportunity.

The MOhler T0wnSite.

Representative T. o. Hanlon is in the
city from his reservation ranch. Mr..
Hanlon has the honor of having the first
patented land OH the reservation where
title was obtained by final homestead
proof. He used his soldiers rights and
proved up at the end of three years.
Mr.. Hanlon's land is in the Big Holes
country, one and one-half miles west
from the townsite of Howard. Mr.. Ham
lon as postmaster at Howard moved the
postoffice to his place aud started the
town of Mohler. The o. r. & N. road as
surveyed passes through Mohler en- route
TO Camas prairie. There are already sew
eral houses and stores and every pros
pect for thriving village.

eral days, aud Green was called up yes
terday by wire. This deal, If consum

Sowed Wheat Till Christmas.

Hank Trimble is in the city from his
big wheat ranch. He has taken advan-
tage of the open winter and seed ground
up till after Christmas. A fair idea Of
mild open winter that has prevailed this
year can be obtained from the fact that
wheat sown by Mr.. Trimble ten days
ago is now nicely sprouted and is he
thinks in the safest condition of any he
has sowu during the season. Mr.. Trim
BILE has in something like 1900 acres and
looks forward to harvesting big croI

The board OF county commissioners Of
Oneida county last year fixed the salaries
of officers and an appeal was taken from
the order to the district court king for
raise. The board fixed the salary oi
the sheriff at 5000. auditor at 5000,
treasurer al fsoo, and superintendent
$500. Judge Rich raised the sheriff to
sr4oo; auditor 10 fIsoo; treasurer to f7ooo;
and superintendent to $500. From this
decision the board appealed to the
supreme court aud that tribunal last
week reversed the order Of the district
court and remanded the cause for further
hearing. 1t appears that there was no
evidence introduced In the district court
to show that the commissioners abused
their discretion IN fixing the salaries. al
though the court says the salaries as fixed
by the board appear to be very low for
the service performed,
The Supreme Court Of Washington has
dismissed the appeal Of Geo. Webster,
the Spokane murderer, who has made
such fight for his life. His gallows was
