Company Has Been Steadily Engaged In
Pushing Construction Since
Last Nay.
lASSIVE DAN ALREADY COMPLETED
Line Built to OranEeviIle In the Spring
Project Embrace Many Out
side Points.

The Grangeville Electric Light &
Power company, which was organ
lied here last May, has been stead
lily carrying forward the construc-
ton of it's mammoth power plant
on the Clearwater, six miles east
Of Grangeville, ever since the date
of its incorporation. During the
past season over $1,000 has been
expended upon the new plant in
constructing . massive and indie
structible dam, headgates, flume
and canal.
Engineers McNutt and Turner
have made the necessary surveys
showing over 1900 horse power
available in the river at this point,
which is . very favorable one for
such an enterprise. The plant is
designed to yield 500 horse power
at the start, the capacity to be in
creased when there is demand for
it. Turbine water wheels in pairs
placed on horizontal shafts will be
used to develop this power. The
dynamos will be directly connected
to the water wheels, thus avoiding
friction losses ~ much as possible.
The dynamos will be of the revolv-
ing field, three phase, 6O-cycle type,
and will generate electricity at q
pressure OF 10, 600 volts. Three cop
per wires will carry the current to
Grangeville. The poles for the
line are already cut and seasoned
and will be hauled to their places
this winter and the line construct
ed in the spring after the ground
thaws out. d. 8. Peters has the
pole contract. A small crew of
men is now at work putting the
finishing touches on the dam. This
force will be increased in the spring
and the work carried forward with
out interruption until the hy-
draulic and, electrical installation
is complete.
The worst part Of the work, that
OF putting permanent and efficient
dam in the South fork, is already
done. The big canal. and flume,
IL feet wide and 6 feet deep, has
also been an expensive undertake
ing, but is now ready to carry the
water from the dam to the water
wheel, quarter of a mile below.
All that remains is the installation
OF machinery and the construction
of the line to Grangeville. The
building of the new power house on
the river will begin next year as
soon as climatic conditions are

PECULIAR LAND CONTEST
Green Creek Man Claims Tina,
He Was Defrauded

Charles r. Ford VS.. Harvey
Knight is the title of contest filed
yesterday at the local land office,
in which interesting allegations are
made by the contestant. The land
involved comprises so acres for
merly embraced in an Indian allot-
ment in Idaho county. Recently
the commissioner of the land office
held all abandoned allotments can
celled and therefore subject to en-
try. The contestant in the case
filed yesterday, it appears, came to
the city from Green Creek to make
filing on the land involved, but
before his filing could be made an
entry had been made by Harvey
Knight. Ford then secured the
services of Attorney Wade r.
Parks and the contest was filed.
Mr.. Parks makes the following
statement regarding the contest:
"Charles r. Ford of Green
Greek, Idaho county, came to the
city Tuesday morning and made
inquiry at the United States land
Office about certain Indian allot-
ment and found to his delight that
the allotment had been cancelled.
and he procured the homestead
ming papers and went to a lawyer
to get them made out for this land.
Mr.. Ford and his father, D. j
Ford, who was with him to help
his son to get a piece of land, being
honest and straightforward as far
mers usually are, did not suspicion
that by his side as he inquired
about this land stood a man who
took in all the facts as dis
closed relative to the same. But |
when Mr.. Ford returned to the
office few minutes later with his
papers the officers in the land office
informed him that the land haG
lust been filed on. Five minutes
bad not elapsed, yet Mr.. Ford lost
The prospects of home worth
EASILY $500. Believing that he
lad fallen the victim of a conspir-
ICY that had operated to swindle
lin out of these prospects, Mr..
eord consulted me and during the
.fternoon | filed contest charging
hat Mr.. knight, the man whom
he locator had procured to make
he apparent fraudulent filing, had
ever been upon the land in ques-
ION; that a collision exists to OBJ
ain this land for the purpose of
population; that Mr.. Knight was
OF bona fide homsteader, and
raging that the application filed
y him be declared cancelled and
'rfeited to the United States. sir.
ord's father said he had never run
ito such a skin game before in his
fe, but when he left the city to- G

WORSE AND WORSE.

<1AH - Bf0 De.
The proposed addition of 1870
townships to the Bitter Root forest
reserve looks worse and worse the
more it is studied. The north line
OF the proposed addition follows
the base line three miles south of
Grangeville, and will be q great
detriment to our people who are
getting their supplies of firewood
for local and domestic uses. In the
mountain region proper it will
prevent the miners from getting
their necessary timbers for mining
purposes, and will hedge the entire
communities in the regions affected
by a lot of absurd and vexatious re-
strictions in the way for getting
timbers for buildings, barns, fences,
mines, railroads. In brief, it will
shut of q supply Of pne material
resource which is indispensable for
the progress and development Of
the country.
The hypocritical talk about these
reservations conserving the timber
and water supplies is not we'll
founded SO far as the Bitter Root
reserve is concerned. This reserva-
ton will not save a spoonful of
water for any purpose. Neither
the waters of Salmon river nor the
Clearwater are used or can be used
for any irrigating purpose whatso-
ever. The only marketable ii mber
is yellow pine, and as we have
previously pointed out, this timber
is only very small and unimpor-
tant factor in the timber growth of
this section. 1t grows in low
attitudes, where the rainfall and
snowfall is light, and is found only
in small groves like tamarack.
1t is safe to say that nine- ten this of
the timber growth on the whole of
the Bitter Root reserve is black
and bull pine, for which there is
no sale, but is adapted for use in
the mines aud for firewood and
other domestic purposes, such as
log buildings. This pine grows in
the high attitudes, and affords little
or no protection to the water supply.
The contour and baroness of the
greater portions Of the mountains
are better for the water supply than
trees as thick as hair on o dogs back.
The wind sweeps the snow into the
gulches and upon the northern
slopes. There it collects in vast
quantities where it yields water
in vast quantities until far into the
summer. The water supply comes
from the snow drifts, and snow
does not drift in timber country.
However, the proposed addition
to the already vast proportions OF
the Bitter Root reserve will afford |
a fine opportunity for the party in
power to find soft snaps for a
of it's henchmen. Multi
ply the offices so that every good
republican will be able t, set free
handout from the republican party
seems to be the animating idea in
republican policies nowadays.

Criticism that Is Void.

Some newspaper writers have been given
to harsh criticism Of the recent navy and ar
my maneuvers asserting that they were USE
less and, even from the army and navy stand
point, purposeless, and that the mimic war
was but waste of powder and energy.
This is not an unusual position for a lay
man, whose knowledge of the science OF war
Is nil, but whose taste and aptitude for crti-
cism are considerable to take, but there are
those who do not coincide with these views;
they are educated men, the product of our
war colleges. These men lave sanctioned
the manuevers aud their life study having
been that of the theory of war, one may safe
ly accept proposition laid down by them,
as against its counter, which comes in form
as follows, by one of our esteemed contem-
porarles, to,wit; "the most ridiculous business
a government ever engaged in"
1t is easy for some to be satirical, but 1t is
not so easy to be logical and convincing IN
case one lacks knowledge, and few editors
of newspaper are sufficiently versed in the
theory of modern warfare to hope to be &C.
cepted as competent critics.

Everybody Disguised.

The preacher that took advantage of the
presence of Mr.. Roosevelt in his congrega-
ton at Oyster Bay last Sunday to deal in
the most disgusting fattery of the President
has probably learned by this time that both
his victim and the people of the country gen.
orally have writ him down an ass" The
remarkable part about it IS that some insti-
tuition of learning, some time in the past,
conceived the idea that Rev. Washburn was
a man of sufficient talent and ability to war
rant it IN comforting upon him the title of
I'D. D." Degrees must be very cheap at
that institution if men of the calibre of this
one may be made Reverend Doctors there.
The published report states that Ellis (the
Presidcnts) face turned redder as the rector
praised his honesty, his bravery, his positive
conviction, resolute purpose, frankness, inn
partially, independence and other innumer-
able qualities"
No wonder; he deserves great Credit for
remaining in his seat through it all.

Warehouse Enlarged.

Mr.. Charles Brown has added largely to his
facilities for doing business at his store and
warehouse property at Decrfield station on

west of Thurmont.
To the old building he has built an addi-
ton 40x60 feet, two stories, twenty feet to
the SQUARE. The lower floor will be utilized
in the storage of fertilizers and other gross
mel chandize, the second floor containing the
grain bins. He will remodel the old build
ing, removing the partition that separates
the storeroom from the warehouse, utilizing
the entire space as Il storeloom.
Mr.. Brown is correct and entcrprising
business man and commands large trade
at that point.

Penny Postage Nearly Possible.

If it were not for heavy expenditures TO
establish rural free delivery, onecent post
age could be discussed with some prospect
of getting it in few years. The Postoffice
Department will this year come very near
to solvent showing for the years work.
The returns for the year which ended June
80, are not complete, and the actual deficit
TOR the year is based on estimates for the last
quarter, which shows probable deficiency
of 81 1907 900 for the year. 1t seems to be
agreed that the first report that shows the
Postofi1ce Department to have arrived at the
self.supportingEtage will be the signal for
penny postage.
