1SHFORD,S DEFENCE.
Thinks Mr. HUtcbins's Sudden
Death Vas a Vindication.

In a visit TO Ashford last week a Tribune cor
respondent found that while the residents admit
much of what Mr.. Hutchins said they do not
take kindly to the fact that he singled their town
out from ali others in the State. Said one in
dignant Ashford man:
"Mr. Rutchins had no business to pick us out
from all others. 1t is true that the stores are
open on Sundays, but no one seems to think
there is anything very terrible in that Mr..
Hutchins did not live here all his life, and
maybe if he had he would not have thought We
were so bad as he painted us. We don't go to
church much maybe. but look at the kind Of

the veil from the social condition OF the small

before the federation of local pastors he only told
what many familiar with the back country dis

Or. Hutehins's chief charges against the back
country districts were that hard cider drinking vas
the chief curse Of these districts; that there was
an almost absolute indifference TO religion: that

A Lively Camp.

Claude VAIN was in the city
this week from Mineral. He says
Mineral is lively camp, more
than 100 men being employed by
the Ladd Metals company in their
mine and smelter and at the point
where their new smelter is being
built on the Snake river.
Mr.. VAIN spent the summer in
the Marshal Lake country, on the
head of Grouse creek, where he is
interested in some promising
quartz and placer claims. He
brought with him some quartz
from the Forest Lilly, at the head
of Grouse creek, which was plenti.
fully sprinkled with free gold. Mr.
VAIN pounded up some of the rock
while here, and the amount of gold
he panned from it was astonishing.
He says that he has 81 inches ol
ore that will run from $50 to S4O(
per ton. 1t is a true fissure vein

eral points and depths by tunnels

Stock Association.

The Idaho County Stock Associ-
alton met in this city last Thursday
to give local stockmen a chance to
join the organization and discuss
matters of general interest. The
weather was very disagreeable but
in spite of that fact there was fair
attendance of local people and the
interest manifest shows conclusive
ly that the people want the associa-
ton and appreciate the benefit it is
and can be to the county at large.
Quite a number of local farmers
joined and a committee consisting
of Cy Overman John Addison
and Henry Won Berg Jr., WAS ap-
pointed to look after matters
here.
Another meeting of the members
in this vicinity is called for Satur.
day, November %, when q larg,
attendance is expected and more
thorough and effective organization
will be brought about. The bes
citizens in the county are identify
ing themselves with the movemen
and there is hardly limit to tn
benefit that can be accomplished
The membership fee of one dol
lar is so small that no one need t
stop to count the cost and at til
next meeting it is expected that
large list of new members will
added.

LIGHT FOR WHITE BIRD.
F. M. Mitchell Will Install Elec-
trio Plant.

The matter Of installing an elec-
trio light system at White Bird has
again been taken up and this time
the indications are that it will
materialize. F. M. Mitchell has
been looking over the field for some
time and is there now completing
arrangements. County Surveyor
w. G. McNutt returned Monday
from surveying the right-of-way
aud sight for the plant. 1t is re-
ported that arrangements are al
ready completed for the material
contracts signed for work, and that
the plant will be running this fall.
There is ample water power near
the town to run the plant and with
the good climate of that section il
could be put in with but little de-
lay.
Mr.. Mitchell thoroughly under
stands the business and if he hal
taken hold of the matter the towr
can rest assured that he will sup
ply them with good lights.

Close Down Mill.

The mill at the Cracker Jack
mine was closed down Saturday
and will not be started again until
the electric power is installed.
This action was taken to save the
expense of hauling ore and pro-
viding wood. 1t was expected
that the plant would be running
by this time and owing to the
scarcity of wood and the great ex-
pense Of getting it was considered
advisable to close down for a short
time rather than go to the expense
of cutting wood in the snow. 1t
also required team to haul ore
from the upper tunnel and this
will be eliminated as soon as the
electric power is running. The
pipe is all in now and work is be-
ing pushed as fast as the weather
will permit.
Development work in the lower
tunnel is being pushed right along
with three shifts and the ore-shoot
struck last week is proving even
better and bigger than first report.

TRAMWAY AT WORK,
Fifty Thousand Bushel of Grain
Ready to Move.


The tramway from the hilltop
south Of Kooskia commenced run
uning last week and has already
delivered a good deal of wheat at
the railroad warehouses. The
tramway is of the two wire pattern
the loaded buckets being attached
to movable wire and supported
by heavy immovable wire cable,
on which the weight OF the load is
borne. The tramway has a cap
acity of l4O tons day. 1t is one
and quarter miles long, and is
the first tramway Of the kind that
has been put to use in handling
grain in eastern Washington OF
northern Idaho. At the upper end
of this tram there is now stored
about 100000 bushels OF grain, and
teams are arriving and unloading
at the rate of $50 to 200 day. II
is estimated that between 500, ,OO(
and 600, 200 bushels of grain will
be delivered at this tramway, in.
cluding practically all the grair
raised on Camas Prairie which it
not feed to cattle and hogs. TIL,

No More Segregations.

From Washington comes the
news that Commissioner Richards
of the general land Office will make
no more segregations Of public
lands and issue no more patents in
Idaho until the state amends its
present laws. A special correspon-
dent at Washington gives the fol-
lowing as the statement on this
subject of a prominent government
official:
"The Idaho statute is in direct
conflict with the national act, and,
if allowed to stand, would have
made it possible for corporations to
secure and hold immense tracts OF
government land, creating a con-
dition of tenantry abhorrent to our
national policy, and detrimental to
the best interests of the state
While it is not doubted that many
projects under the Carey act were
instituted in good faith, the fact
that the Idaho law made it pos
sible for spectators to secure val
liable and extensive grants of lane
without guaranteeing settlement
condemns it. The law, as it now
stands, certainly permits corpora
tions to construct irrigation works
and encourages them to restrain
settlement until patents for thu
land are issued to the company
These once issued, the lands coult
by rented, sold or held for specu
lation.
eff the state OF idaho wants cit
izens, it should repeal a statut'
which encourages the Withdrawal
of large bodies of irrigable land fol
speculation; otherwise, it is no
unreasonable to believe that, in thu
rainless part of the state, condi
tions will obtain similar to thos'
in Nevada, which state has per-
mitted it's land to fall under thu
Icontrol of the stock men,"
The ruling will not effect the in
dividual settler but will work
great hardship on the large irriga
ton companies in the southern
part of the state.

New Placer Rulings.

According to ruling by the
Helena land Office from the acting
commissioner of the general land
office, it is the idea of the depart
ment that locators of placer claims
must make the boundaries OF their
claims conform to the legal super.
visions of the land rather than run
them up or down streams.
The ruling is a new departure
and if enforced, which is ques
toned, will work considerable hard
ship upon placer miners working
old claims, especially those in sec
tions where the government hal
never made surveys.

Shovel Snow.

With the beginning of winter
the question Of keeping the side
walks clear again comes up. In a
climate like we have here it means
quite good deal of work but it is
surely worth the effort. Showing
as it does every few days and then
followed by sunshine that converts
the streets into a sea of slippery
slush it is almost impossible for
ladies to go upon the streets with
out danger OF falling and every
body must wear rubber boots or
wet feet. All this could 5e
avoided if each individual would
shovel the snow off the walks ad'
joining their respective homes and
while the crossings would be bac
people could at least travel dry
shod on the sidewalks.

Roads the Great Need.

ex-governor Frank w. Hunt,
who is manager Of the Werdenhof
Mining & Milling Co.'S, property
on Smith creek, has just returned
to Boise from an extended trip to
the Big Creek district. In an in
terview he speaks very highly of
the prospects of that district but
laments the lack of roads for get
ting in and out.
The most important matter for
the consideration Of all interests at
this time, said the governor was
that of roads. 1t was absolutely
necessary to get roads open. The
state road should be crowded
through just as early as possible in
the spring. At the best it would
take some months to complete it,
but every effort should be made to
get it through as soon as possible.
Machinery could not be hauled in
until the roads were open, and the
district would be held back
seriously.
Thunder Mountain has been the
best advertisement the state ever
had, the governor continued. II
was panning out all right, but il
was essential to reach the produc'
ing stage without unnecessary de-
lay.
With that district turning ou'
gold. the interest in Idaho mines
would become still more active
but if unaccountable delays shoulc
follow in getting the mills running
the fact would detract from in
terests in mining matters in this
state.
Referring to the Big Creek road
question the governor said the min
ing companies interested ther'
would have to get together ant
build up Profile and over on BIZ
Creek. The state road should b,
all means go up the East fork a
now planned The Big creek roa'
could then be built from it.
A road from Warren was de
manded by many interests an
will be constructed next year.
