TIMBER men
HAVE CONE
Will Inspect Holdings at PalOuse
and Then Visit
Boise, Why?

c. A. Weyerhaeuser of Little Falls,
Mimi, Henry furnish or Duluth, Mimi,
d. H. Moon of San Francisco and Nat
Brown of Moscow, prominent timber
men who arrived in the city last night
and looked over the Porter Mill site
and Lewiston, left this morning for
Palouse city where they will inspect the
property of the Potlatch Timber COM
pany, and from there they will go to
Boise.
When seen this morning by a Teller
reporter Mr.. Weyerhaeuser refused to
discuss the object of their trip here at
this time, though stated that they were
looking over the ground in a general
way. The fact that they have come
here at thistime is of some significance
and the further fact that they. go to
Boise only revives the interest in the
Boom bill which was presented in the
Legislature last winter, in which the
Weyerheuser people asked a franchise
for building a boom on Clearwater
river, here for the purpose of establish
ing system of saw mills.
The public will await with interest
any new development that might pre-
sent itself, and If the trip to Boise is
of any moment it is possible that news
of encouraging nature to Lewiston may
be disclosed at some early date.

TRAMWAY WILL
CHANGE HANDS
Chas. Hutchins Will Be President
and P. W. Mitchell Secy. of
the Farmers Grain Co.
Especial to Evening Teller.)

NEZPERCE, Dec. 12.--It is learned
today on good authority that the man.
agement of the Farmers Grain COM
pany, limited, will be changed some
time during the coming week Charles
Hutchins will Succeed James Boyd as
president with p. w. Mitchell as sue
cessor to William Baird as secretary.
1t is understood the entire force of en-
ployees will be changed with the ex-
ception of one or two.
With this change ends one of the
system" as applied by the average
rancher to business principles.
The Farmers Grain company was
organized by the farmers of Nez
Perce prairie as a leverage to be used
by them on the various grain firms
doing business in that section. Over
200 farmers at one time were active
financial difficulties thinned their ranks
until not more than one-half of the
original number now remain
Some weeks ago Charles Hutchins, "a
prominent rancher living in the Rus
sell neighborhood, started in quietly
to buy up a controlling interest in the
company. and it is now understood
owns about two thirds of the stock
When the company was organized
one vote was allowed for each share of
stock. valued at $50. This clause in
the bylaws now places the control
of the institution virtually in his
hands
The hackers of Hutchins are not def
nitely known at this time and the
public can only surmise as to the real
owners of the stock purchased by him.

there can be no less than 100 million
tons in the deposit. A syndicate of
capitalists representing the British
nobility has been formed, with Buff
falo Biz as the head. This company
will set about getting the coal out at
once, and it is likely that some i'm
portant things may happen before long.
1t is said that the coal is easily ac-
cessible and that the company VIII
form camp and begin the production
on considerable scale.
A Transportation Line
Another plan to be carried out by
the Cody company is the formation of
a transportation line. from the Cody
hotel to the Yellowstone park. Until
recently, the only accessible entrance to
the public land was on the west side,
really at the opposite side from where
convenience demanded it to be placed.
After the completion of the Burlington
line into Cody, however, the govern
ment built a highway from that point
leading into the park.
The distance is about forty miles
Horses, coaches, pack animals and au-
tomobiles are to be used in transport
ing visitors to the scenes of the natu-
raj curiosities, and the projectors look
for a big business. The park has been
reached from Livingstone, Mont, by
means of a narrow gauge railroad to
the west side entrance, and this meth
cd of travel has been found both in
convenient and time losing. From
three to fifteen hours will be the time
required from Cody, varying as the
passenger uses automobile or burro for
the transit.
Two of the colonel's ranches are to
be turned into homes for the horses
used on the road. and the company will
see to every convenience of the public.

Banks in the State of
Idaho

James Surridge of Harpster. who is
manager of the Newsome & Leggett
Creek Hydraulic Mining company, has
been in the city several days on bust
ness in connection with the company,
and states that the property is one of
the most promising in the entire New
some district, and has proved to be a
wonder, the returns from the runs
made this past year being entirely
satisfactory to the owners.
Mr.. Surridge states that they have
done considerable work this year and
the property is shown to be one of the
largest placer banks in the state of
Idaho.
They have run a new flume to tap
the property at a depth of 800 feet
and have still pay gravel enough to OBJ
tain a still further depth of APO feet
more.
Mr.. Surridge refused to disclose any
thing in relation to returns from the
property but from his general CONVEX
sation it is safe to believe that the
property is a rich and productive one
for the owners.
w. p. Hurlbut ana G. w. Thomp-
son of the Idaho National bank. of this
city, are among the principal owners
of the property.

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller.)
CODY, Wyoa Dec. 12.-Capitalists
will be much interested in the new
projects which Colonel w. F. Cody
buffalo Bid has on foot for the de-
velopment of the Yellowstone Park
country and the rich coal deposits in
the mountains near Cody, Wyo
The announcement has been made
that vein of coal of mammoth pro-
portions has been found within a short
distance of the town, and the matter
has been kept secret from the public
until the present time. This reticence
on the part of the doughty colonel is
ascribed to the fact that he has been
engaged in interesting English capital
in the scheme for developing the mines
and had no desire to have the facts
known while his plans were in the
formative state.
The vein of coal is eight feet thick.
