In Regard to the Recent Death
of Thos. Pollock.

EDITOR FREE PREss-Allow me
to correct some statements in your
issue of October 16 in regard to
the. death of Tom Pollock, and
which reflected on the characters
of Messrs. Silvers and Roe. You
stated that Silvers was running a
saloon at Goff. Mr.. Sllvers has
been selling groceries and whisky
at Pollock for the last two years
and lived with Tom Pollock. l
take him to be one of the honest
citizens of this county, and the only
objection any man can have to him
is the fact that he is engaged in
selling whisky AS to Mr.. Roe, he
is as good and hon norable an old
man as you will find anywhere.
He is man of few words and at
tends strictly to his own business.
am personally acquainted with
both these men, and I do not like
to see their characters assailed in
such q manner. Neither of them
ran away from the G country, as you
stated. Mr.. Silvers can be found
at his place of business now and
at any other time. Mr.. Roe can
be found at America a Falls, where
he was prepared to go at the time
of the death Of Mr.. Pollock. If
Mr.. Pollock died from poison l
think some one else did it, and not
Messrs. Silvers or Roe, for they
were both warm friends of Tom.
You stated that Roe claimed all
the effects of Mr. Pollock, sold
them and left the country. Let
me correct yon. Mr.. Roe claimed
nothing of Mr.. Pollock's. Mr..
Roe was with Alex McNeill when
he died. He also got McNeill's
property, but he got it honestly,
there being no one to claim it and
not enough for the public admins
TRAITOR to take hold of. Mr.. Pol
lock told Mr.. Roe 10 take the prop
erty to satisfy himself for taking
care of McNeill. I see nothing
wrong about the matter. If Mr..
Roe had not been with Mr.. Pollock
at the time of his death nothing
would have been said.
If some of the people who circu-
late such stories were where they
ought to be Salmon river would
have better name away from
home. I think you have unjustly
wronged both these men, and you
will do the MAORI ty of the people
Of this section favor by correct
ing the statements concerning them
in your issue of October 16.

AROUND KEUTERVILLE.
Is Fine Looking. Fertile and
Thrifty Country.

A trip to Keuterville reveals a
mighty fine looking, fertile and
thrifty country. New houses and
barns are going up all over that
section, and the town itself shows
visible and marked improvement
since our last visit. Ed Dreese is
running general merchandise
store and doing good business
with well selected stock of goods.
John Maugg has built a handsome
two-story hotel which is finished
up in fine style, and the meals
served there are second to none in
the land. During our stay we saw
potatoes weighing 81 pounds grown
near the town, and fields of spring
wheat which threshed 80 bushels
to the acre. There is an immense
travel to and from the sawmills in
the neighborhood of Keuterville
with teams engaged in hauling
lumber. The trip is one that will
well repay anyone who wants to
see fertile and lovely section.

COUNTY SEAT REMOVAL,
Strong Language From an Elk
City Resident.

EDITOR FREE PREss-It must be
acknowledged by all fair-minded
men that Grangeville is making
some very sensible and effective eff
forts to secure the county seat.
Our mountain and Clearwater Sec
tions of the county cherish vague
scheme of county division in the
future; but we realize that the
present removal of the county seat
will make no difference in that re-
spect. 1t is not to be expected
that we of this section should be
anxious about this removal, but
wish to make remark about some
arguments that l hear from men
who ought to know better, which
is, that they profess to believe the
court house transference for 90
years is only ruse, and will not
be done. They say: "We will be
fooled on this proposition, and the
people will Immediately be taxed
to build court house."
/, for one, cannot believe that
such high-handed fraud would
be perpetrated or sanctioned by the
citizens of Grangeville. If the
lease is signed by the properly con-
stituted authorities of the village
Of Grangeville it would seem i'm
possible to go back on it, even if
they felt disposed to do SO. L
think that under the conditions the
vote for Grangeville in this matter
will exceed your expectations.

FT"iifnlnary iflal OF ChliuerS 5
for Horse Stealing.
The preliminary trial of Bob
Childers, arrested at Baker city last
week by Hugh b. Fulton, dem
ocratic nominee for representative,
took place before Probate Judge
Taylor at Mt. Idaho Monday, The
prosecution was conducted by
Edward NJ. Griffith, with the result
that the judge held the prisoner in
bonds to the tune of $1,000 to await
the action of the district court, and
as he was unable put up the neces-
sary sum he is now languishing in
the county bastile.
When Mr.. Fulton arrested him at
Baker city Childers furnished him
with document which reads as
follows:

brought out by sheriff Dixon as

emphatically swore that they knew
nothing whatever of the facts or
circumstances, and never delivered
the animals or any other property
to Childers. Upon this testimony
the Judge held the prisoner. Mr..

against the prisoner, who was
defended by II. II. Ban tlett.

Ure.

Figuratively, the water department is
a branch Of the St. Paul city govern
ment, but in reality it is a separate insti-
tuition, ansWerable, in a limited sense, in
few ways to the common council. In this
respect it is unlike any branch or de-
partment of the municipality.
Much of its independence is due to the
act which gave it life, but steps are now
on foot which may abolish this independ-
ence and bring it more in touch with
the central head, as in the case OF the
other city departments. The charter com
mission is considering the proposition, and
its inception will probably be seen at the
next meeting in the shape of motion or
dering an Investigation to that end.
Under the present law, the water de-
partment acts Independently of the COM
mon council. 1t buys and sells as it sees
ut, and borrows money at its own free
will. The scheme is to place it on a COM
mon basis with the fire department, and
under laws similar to those which gov
ern it,
The matter was discussed informally at
the last meeting of the charter commits
sion, and arose over the desire of the
water board that its members be provided
with salary. The impression seemed to
be that these could be eliminated If the
department was brought into closer touch
with the city government and it's finan-
cial affairs made mart of the work IN

Following the business session the

room Of the club, where a banquet was
enjoyed, covers being laid for fifty.
c. D. O'Brien, retiring president, made
the formal address of the evening. He
spoke of the high regard he had for the
members of the association, but con-
fined himself almost entirely to what
might be called heart to heart talk
with the younger members.
He paid glowing tributes to Judge Mel
son and William Pitt Murray. At the
conclusion of his remarks he introduced
Justice Nelson, who told q number Of
amusing anecdotes of the early days
of practice. William P Murray was
called upon, and responded in few
well chosen words, and Judge Jaggard
also spoke. The newly elected officers
spoke briefly, and the lawyers sat over
their cigars in rather an informal way,
telling stories of legal fights over and
over until a late hour.

The claim is being made by the Lin

charter commission to the extent of pre-
pairing an amendment to be voted on at
the next city election, the Democrats will
get the best of the argument
Taking the vote on lieutenant governor

they claim that the First ward would
lose seventy-two Republican majority,
while in the Eighth, Ninth and Twelfth
wards there would be Democratic ma

The Third would have a slight Repub-
Hcan gain, but according to the clubs

only ward that would be benefited as far
as the Republican side of the house is
concerned.
The proposition was advanced to re-

it was held that the interests of each

m6nCS:
1. The Panama company has submitted
formal official offer, proposing to sell
all its property in the isthmus of what
ever description for $40,00O,0O0.
z. This offer is so satisfactory to Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Admiral Walker that
the latter was directed to call the 18TH
mian canal commission together as soon
as possible to act upon it,
g. There is little doubt that the COM
mission VIII recommend the adoption of
the Panama route. If it does congress
Will follow the recommendations of this
BOARD Of distinguished engineers. So will
President Roosevelt congress decides to
turn the matter over to him.
To clear up all doubt as to the present
status of the case, Admiral Walker
has made the following authorized state
ment:
we received by cable a formal and
satisfactory offer from the new Panama
Canal company. They propose to sell to
the United States for $40,000000 all their
property, without reservation Of any
sort, including excavation, the Panama
railroad, the hospitals, other buildings,
working plant, maps and drawings, ev-
erything. This offer came by cable,
but copy of the original telegram
was deposited at the American embassy
i'll Paris. There is no doubt of it's au-
thenticity. 1t will be confirmed by letter
The offer is in cIean-cut, business-like
form. I have delivered lit to President
Roosevelt, and a meeting of the Isthmian
canal commission will be called as soon
as l can reach all the members by tele-
graph.
There is no doubt of the ability Of the
Panama company to give clear title.
There is no doubt that the Colombian
government will give the United States
as favorable terms as we have secured
in Nicaragua and Costa RIGA. 1 see no
difficulties of this sort in the way of ac-
cepting the offer, Notwithstanding the
amazing statements which the advocates
of the Nicaraguan route have made in
the house. Why, the members make
speeches without ever taking the trouble
to read our report and learn the facts.
M. Lampre, the representative here OF
the Panama Canal company, said today:
I have submitted an offer embracing
all our property. Some delay was caus-
ed by the fact that the American COM
mission did not at first ask us to in
clude our working plant, which Is worth
several millions of dollars But they
have advised US to include everything,
and by cabling my people in Paris I
have secured the offer which makes no
reservations. We can give q perfect
title The Colombian government is
anxious for the sale to your government
and is cooperating with u.s.
