Big Shipment d Cattle.

Last evening, ten minutes after the ar
rival Of the Spokane passenger. cattle
train Of ten cars pulled out Of the Lewis
ton yards. drawn by double header
hound for Seattle. This train was loaded
with 242 head Of the finest beef cattle
that have ever left Lewiston for some
year,. The cattle were bought as the
choice of the range and fed during the
fall by Hank Trimble on his stock farm,
in upper Tammany. They were pur-
chased by Baker & Ball from the owner
for the handsome sum Of tIo,8oo,s and
were shipped to Fry & Barnes cold stor-
age in Seattle. They will then be placed
In the Alaska markets. Harry Dowd
had charge Of the shipment.

lllfatsd Engine again Out.

Yesterday afternoon engine number
100 left Lewiston pulling the Clearwater
passenger train. The appearance Of this
engine brings to mind the wreck on
Kendrick grade three years ago when a
double header attempted to bring IS cars
Of steel rails down the steap incline that
leads into Potlatch canyon.
At the top Of the hill the engineers
asked the conductor to divide the train
but believing that it would be safe to
make trial the conductor refused and
before the train had gone half way do IN
the Bear creek gulch from Troy the load
vas beyond the control Of steam. The
flying train by some accident cut off the
caboose and the conductor and one brake
man we're saved but two engineers, two
fremen and two brakemen went over
the grade on the turn just aboye Ken
drick into the Potlatch creek to their
death. The second engine has never
been taken from its grave but the front
one or what was left of it was hauled to
Tacoma and reconstructed. This engine
was No. 700 and her run from Tacoma
was her first trip since that fatal day.
She was in charge Of Engineer Enfield
who was called in only one year ago from
fireman's position on tho Clearwater
short line. This prompt promotion
shows how quickly young men rise in
the employ Of the railroad company.
Engineer Dean took engine No. S78 to
Spokane where it will receive much
needed repairs.

Arrangements have been made between
the Lewiston and Cheney Normal schools
to have their football teams.to come to-
+gether Thanksgiving day on the gridiron
ct Cheney.
Last year the game was played at Lew
iston and the score was II to o in favor
of Lewiston. It will be interesting to
know how the contest will end this year,
The first games that the Lewiston Nor
NAL played this year against Moscow and
Pullman showed the team from our
school to be one of the strongest in the
northwest and in the light of the results
between the colleges since, they would
have easily carried off the championship
Of the northwest this fall. but dissatisfac,
tion arose in its management, together
with lack of dates for games, has torn
the team to pieces and they stand now as
an unknown quantity. Not very long
Lago. however, the Cheney team was de.
feated by the Spokane high school and
this makes it hard to foretell the result o.
the game on Thanksgiving day.

| Among the valuable resources OF Nez
Perce county is its forest Of yellow pine,
fir and tamarack have hardly received
due notice. The Craig mountain tim
Der belt is, however, . factor to be
reckoned with. Experienced locators
have pronounced the yellow pine belt
extending from Lookout southwark
through Winchester and Forest one Of
the finest in the state. Preparations are
being made for an active logging season
should the winter prove favorable.
Especially is this true Of the Winchester
district where there are two mills in
operation and two others being built. ali
within . radius of .wo miles from that
place. Some Of tho mills In the district
have been running for several years but
have never yet been able to accumulate
. surplus, their trade being limited on y
by the capacity Of the plant. Our native
lumber entered the market under diff
6culties ON account of the prejudice in
the minds of carpenters against the east
ern variety to which it was naturally
composed. Il is found, however. that our
western yellow pine is much more easily
worked than that Of eastern states being
softer aud in fact many trees produce
quality Of lumber more closely re.
sembling Michigan or Pennsylvania
white pine than any other variety and
consequently it is growing in popularity
In composition with Idaho white pine
which is not quite equal in quality TO
that Of the ..states.'

The conclusion reached with regard "a

one barrel obtained Tor every twenty
six cubic feet fof spindletop and a lit
tie less for other fields. there should be

OF the Baku field has been estimated 20
equal about one-ffth Of the volume OF

stone In America has been estimated
at about 10 per cent OF the rock. and
the statement Is made that smaller

FIELDS have yielded 100000 barrels per

apparent consensus Of opinion among
the chemists who have examined the
field Is that the gulf coast petroleum is
unsultea Tor the production Of illumi-
mating oil, and that Il is doubtful II Il
can be made 20 yield good lubrlcating

ABOUT KNOCKERS.

Every town and every enterprise
that ever amounts 10 enough ia
attract attention has knockers" "a
contend with in greater or less
numbers. Some of these are in.
territorial and malicious IN their
efforts, while others are misguided
calamity howlers, and know not
what they do. Those first mem
toned are generally few in mum.
bers and comparatively without
influence, and their efforts would
amount TO nothing unless backed
up By the "unintentional knock.
srs." OF these there are now
few in Bryan getting in their work
right along, TO the serious detri-
ment of the town and their own
interests. For the want Of a bet.
ter name they may be called
The "Afraid-of the Future Club "
While at present realizing a hand
some income. on their investments
and business, tn ,ir minds are FILL
ed with dire forebodings and their
tongues busy with baleful proph-
estes for the future. The first i'm
preston Of strangers who come to
town and talk with such misguid.
81 persons is doubtless to take 10
their heels. We have heard Of one
instance where gentleman came
here with money TO invest in bnild-
ing rent houses, aud having heard /
a lol Of talk like this he gave up
ahe idea. But anyone who will ,
take the tronble to look around !
win end there are no grounds for
alarm regarding the future Of Bry-
an. This city has enjoyed con-
tinuous building boom for more
than two years, and in spite Of the
fact that it Is still going on, there
are not rent houses enough to sup
ply the demand. The writer
knows Of instances where three
families are living in one house,
and Of one travelling man who has
been for ten days trying to secure
a house so he can move his family
to Bryan. Every day there are
applications for rent houses that
cannot be supplied. There are no
vacant business houses, and the ,
handsome store house now being ,
finished for DR.. J. W. Howell has
been rented and will be occupied I

In view of the crop conditions
prevailing in this section Of the
state, the amount Of cotton re-
ceived this fall and the trade en-
ljoyed by our business men has
been large, and greatly in excess OF
that which has been enjoyed by
other towns. Ii is reasonable 20
suppose that part Of this trade
will be cut Off after this year by
the railroad going to Madisonville,
but the development Of the coun-
Try will soon replace whatever
temporary loss is sustained. Bryan
has a reputation as a trading point
and carries stocks and ASSIGNMENTS
