POTLATCH ELECTRIC ROAD
Farmers Of Big Potlatch Are Making Pre-
parations to Build an Electric Railroad
Between Ksndrick and Cameron.

The farmers of the Big Potlatch are
awakening to their great need OF cheap
transportation. They are beginning to
realize that the expense incurred in wear
on wagons and horse flesh on the long
grades to the railroads are encroaching
on their profits. The farmers of this
region were so bankrupt in the hard
times that they have been putting in all
their time paying off debts and mortgages
but they are easier now and movement
is on foot to put their surplus cash in an
electric railroad from Kendrick to South
wick. w. +. Dagget. an enterprising
merchant at Southwick, is at the head OF
the work.
The scheme Is to start ditch three
miles above the Harris fruit farm To-
Gated at the mouth of Wanchee gulch.
By the time this water reaches site to be
procured by the company 10 be organized
it will have reached height Of 400 feet
above the creek bottom. The water will
then be shot down through steel pipes
and turbin wheel where the power will
be generated to prodnce electricity to
run the cars.
The rolling stock of the road will In
clude both passenger aud freight cars.
The line will be seven miles long passing
within a mile Of Leland. 1t is expected
that the farmers along the route will
donate the right of way for the road for
the benefit they derive. This road will
not only provide the farmers with trans
portation service but 1t will also serve as
an agent to encourage extensive saw
milling operations on the head of the
Potlatch where there is an enmense sup
ply OF pine timber of the best grade. The
orchards around Southwick' are also
marketing large crops of prunes COM
peting successfully with California in the
growth of the Pateat variety and with
Oregon in the production of fne Italian
prunes. ff
Kendrick is located in the radius OF
Lewiston's wholesale operations and
development Of the portion OF Nez Perce
county affected by this large undertaking
promises to assist in Lewiston's growth.
A first class passenger service will also
make a pleasant summer resort Of the

Koo.kia rrsmwsy VIII Be Built.

The farmers on the north side Of Camas
prairie have completed their organiza-
ton and complete arrangements have
been made 10 build car tramway from
the top of the hill to Kooskia. The cars
will be attached to cables and double
switch in the single track will
allow the cars to pass in the CEN
ter. The track will be 1900 feet
long. An engine attached to large
drum will start the cars and prevent ir-
regular speed but the loaded descending
car will be supposed TO draw up the

out at the upper landing of the train.
This place will be called Sunnyside. It

Spokane Labor Carnival.

The labor unions in Spokane have de.
cided to hold carnival during the week
commencing August "a. The object OF
the carnival is to secure funds to aid in
the erection of labor temple in which
the headquarters of the different unions,
the trades council and union library may
be located.
The carnival will partake largely of
the features of the old time fruit fairs
held in that city and will occupy the
same grounds. The distinguishing fea-
ture will be that only labor men will
participate. The visitor will see the
workmen of the various trades at work +,
producing from the raw state every ar
ticle represented by the trade. For in
stance, the cigarmakers will have fac.
tory and the visitor will see the great leaf
of tobacco curled, twisted and made into
shapely cigar. Woodworkers will do
handsome carving, iron moulders will be
there and show their skill, and so on
down the line.
There will be great queen of the car
nival chosen by the Spokane unions and
each city within $50 miles will be entitled
to queen to represent the unions of that
city. Lewiston is entitled to queen
and Vt remains for the unions here to
elect one and send her there.
There will be continuous show of the
best talent in the west with musical con
certs and labor parades. John Mitchell
and Samuel Gompers and other noted
labor leaders will be present. Every
day contests for prizes will be conducted
by the various unions.
In all like events in Spokane visitor:
have been annoyed by the sale Of intoxi
eating liquors and gambling on thu
grounds. The labor unions will no
grant concessions for trades of this kind
The unions in Spokane now numbe
over 900 men and women and they will
spare no pains to make their carnival
success.

waha Improvement Would Furnish Ice

Another saving that would go to this
community at large that will come from
the Waha irrigation scheme will be the
keeping Of our ice bill paid at home. At
present the Cocoalla Ice Company, OF
Washington. is delivering ice here at the
rate of one car of ten tons per day. This
is continued for at least I2o days through
out the summer This makes an expendi-
ture for this one article Of SI5o per day
or $4,000 for the season. While this
company may give good service the
money we pay out leaves the city, and
after all the money we keep measures
the W, alth of the community. The elec-
trio line that is promised between Lake
Waha and Lewiston wi make il moi
only possible to furnish the city with
pure Idaho ice but it will also reduce the
ice bill. At present Mr.. Weisgerber Is
able with large amount of money in
vested in machinery to compete witt
natural ice and undersell its markei
twenty-five cents on the hundred.

FILED ON STATE LANDS
M. L. Goldsmith Filed on Sixty Thousand
Acres Of Land for the State Of idaho-tie
Was Assisted by Engineer Hit, of Weiser.

M. l.. Goldsmith, deputy state land
commissioner for the counties of central
Idaho, assisted by A. F. Hit, of Weiser,
inspected the Dumac and Joseph Plains
country and selected 6o,795 acres of valu-
able lands for the state.
Inspector Jackson, of Boise, visited
that section about one month ago and
the people of White Bird wishing imme-
diate settlement Of this land convinced
him of the fact that this was all worthless
barren land, covered in places by black
pine. Mr.. Goldsmith learned this from
Mr.. Jackson and he quickly informed
him of the fact that he had been misled
in the matter. Mr.. Goldsmith has been
across those sections three or four times
and was we'll posted on their worth.
after obtaining this information the state
land commissioner ordered Engineer
Hit, of Weiser, to White Bird to assist
Mr.. Goldsmith to find the sections. Mr..
Hit, however, was detained and did not
arrive until the first of last week and this
work of choosing was done in the short
time of Sax days Mr.. Goldsmith states
that the time should have been three
weeks, but they did the best they could
under the circumstances. However the
state has gained large amount of 6ne
land. This land is of grazing, agricul-
tural and timber character. The agri-
cultural land has fine orchards located on
it. There are also fine grain lands on
these locations. The timber lands are
covered by yellow pine and red FIR. The
grazing lands of the Dumac and Joseph
Plains have long been known and many
cattle kings are located in that section.
These lands were Withdrawn from set
tlement subject to the states choice Janu.
ary 10th, 1891, and there are a good
many squatters on pieces of land chosen
by the state. Action will be brought in
the general land Office to oust these
Especially in township 20. E. B. NJ
There is large settlement in township
IS, F. B. M, but few selections for the
state were made there. The filing was
made by Mr.. Goldsmith at the local land
Office just ten minutes to four yesterday
afternoon. The time for the states choice
would have expired ten minutes later.
