Adjusting Rates.

Travelling Passenger Agent Plaistec
of the Short Line has been in Weiser
a number of times recently and an
nounces that Weiser will be given d
distributing rate which will place il
on an equal footing with other points
near by. The distributing rate from
Boise to Weiser is 18 cents while the
local rate from Weiser to Boise has
been 90 cents. Weiser will now get
the rate and parts of car can be
sent from Welser to the capital as
cheaply rs it will be hauled from there
to this point. Mr.. Plaisted is a most
agreeable gentleman and is certainly
handling Short Line interests to great
advantage as well as seeking the

OF GREAT IMPORTANCE.
Report ola Deal that Will Mean Much
to Washington County

Common report, and apparently
authentic, is to the effect that Lewis
A. Hall and associates have acquired
from Hansen and Hotter their interes
in the Peacock and other mines in
the Seven Devils Copper district.
The consideration named is one mil
lion dollars. Leaving the specific
amount out of the question, the ac-
quirement of these great properties
by the new syndicate is a very rea-
sonable proposition and only logi-
cal business termination of past
action on the part of tue parties in
terested IN construction of the P &
l. N. 1t places the property IN the
hands of those interested in the flu
ture development, and working of
the mines. 1t is fact well known
that, in the past, only juggling meth
DDS have controlled, but with this
change, active operators and a regu-
lac output may be confidently looked
for.
