FAlRPLAY WILL BOOM NOW
Farmers Tramway Is Finished and In Good
Condition Warehouses will be Con.
structed At the Foot Of the till


co"dition-Thres Warehouses will be Go"'
structsd At the Foot Of the Hill.
The Farmers tramway located midway
between kamiah and Greer was CON-
pleted last week and turned over to the
company by construction agent John Nc
Leod of Kendrick. The tram is in per-
feet working order aud speaks we'll TOR
the constructor.
About one year ago the farmers Of
Nezperce prairie banded themselves to-
gether for the purpose of constructing q
tram to haul this falls crop from the plat.
teau to the river. Articles Of ofincorpo,ation
were fled and stock taken by the farmers.
John B. Lauby was elected secretary
aud manager. A suitable location was
chosen two and one half miles above
Pardee where surveys W. re made and .
contract was let to a San Francisco arm
to Furnish a tram.cable, buckets aud
fixtures. They were on the grounds
early in .thet spring and a contract was
let to John Mcleod Of Kendrick to put
the machine IN place and work began at
once.
The cable used for this Improvement is
an endless coil of steel wires I 200 feet
long suspended on rollers and carrying
thousand steel cages or buckets. This
is hauled by large stationary engine
located at the summit of the hill.
The work was completed two weeks
ago but defects in the first survey neces-
STATED changes in the location OF some
of the parts. This was done and the
tram is now working perfectly.
The Northern Pacific has had a work
train at work the last month putting in q
sidetrack in the canyon and small town
is growing up that has been named
"Fairplay." Kerr & Clifford have just
finished large warehouse near the side
track and the Vollmer Clearwater Co.
and Kettenbach Grain Co. Ltd. will be-
gin the construction Of warehouses at
that point.
Mr.. Mcleod reports that the late rains
did little damage to the grain crop on
the prairie, that already there is 10000
bushels of grain ut the tramway and that
some freight had been ha4dled in the
| buckets.

Russell Citizens Hold Mass Meetings and Decide
to Build Tramway to the Clearwater Near

Russell Citizens Hold Mass Meetings and Decide
to Build Tramway to the Clearwater Near
Greer.
A mass meeting of the citizens of Rus
sell precinct was held Wednesday even
ing in the Russell school house and ef-
fected an organization with the object in
view of building tramway from the top
of the hill to a point near the town of
Greer, the upper terminal to be located
on the Henshaw homestead and the lower
terminal at point one half mile below
the Greer townsite. The tramway is to Ike
similar in design to the one erected by
the Farmers Grain Company, with the
possible exception Of some cOntrivance
for bringing heavy freight from, the rail-
road below. The estimated leugth of the
structure will be one mile. The prime
movers in the enterprise are Nicholas
Treisch, Sam Riggs, Charles Hutching,
jerome keck. Paul Hof, Al. O'Brien, A
Harbke. Geo. Vliet, Henry and Nick
Schlader and others.
Committees were appointed and the
farmers expect to have the project COM
pleted in ample time to move next years
crop.
The reasons for the movement is that
the Russell country is not adjacent to the
Farmers Tramwav district and this ne.
cessitates haul Of more than Is miles TO
market. wheat at the tramway or trip
up and down the Greer hill which Is not
only difficult but dangerous.
-Four inches Of snow has fallen on the
prairie and sleighing is good.
The new school building will be COM
p,eted and ready for occupancy in two
weeks. The building, when completed.
will be the best structure of it's kind in the
country, outside Of Lewiston. and . credit
to the town of Nezperce.

WILL INVESTIGATE FRAUDS
Lands In California. Oregon and Warrington
Withdrawn from Timber and Stone Entry
A Circular Of Information to fjo,nes aders


A Circular Of Information to ho,nesteaders.
The local land office has received an
important announcement from the com.
missioner to the effect that the govern
ment in the future will receive the right
TO appropriate lands on all homestead
filings made west ofthe Mississippi when
it is deemed such lands can be utilized
for water storage or ditch purposes.
This step has been taken by the govern
ment in connection with the extensive
national irrigation plans. The announce
uent Of the commissioner is contained in
a circular which reads as follows:
"You are hereby directed. in addition
to the instructions contained in Office
circular OF September 9, 1907. to call the
especial attention Of all persons that have
made. or are intending to make. home
stead entries on lands that have been, or
may hereafter be. temporarily withdrawn
for irrigation purposes, to the following
statement:
"The withdraw of these lands is prin
cipally for the purpose Of making surveys
and irrigation Investigations in order to
determine the feasibility of the plans Of
irrigation and reclamation proposed; only
a portion of the lands will be irrigated
even if the project is feasible; it will be
impossible to decide in advance Of care
full examination what lands may he
watered, If any; the mere fact that SUR
veys are in progress is no indication what
ever that the works will be built and this
fact cannot determine how much water
may be available or what lauds can be
covered, or whether the cost will be too
great to justify the understanding until
the surveys and the irrigation investiga-
tions have been completed.
Attention is called to the fact that
all the entries made upon the lands re.
ferred are subject to the following pro-
viso Of the act Of August 80. 1890 las
Stats, 39I):
"That on all patents for lands here
after taken up under any Of the land
laws Of the United States or ON entries or
claims validated by this act, west If the
tooth meridian, it shalt Be expressed that
the right is reserved from the lands in
said patent described for right Of way
thereon for bitches or canals constructed
by the authority Of the United States.
"Under this provision, Of the law.
should q homestead entry embrace land
that is needed in whole or in part for Z
dam site, reservoir, or canal, the land
would be taken for such purpose, and
the entryman would have no claim
against the United States for the taking
Of such right of way.
"You will post copy OF this circular
in conspicuous place in your Office and
give the subject matter hereof such gem
eral publicity - may be possible. y
