MONEY RAISED FOR BUILDING
LEWISTON & OWYHEE ROADS
Mr.. Reed Tells the Spokane Chronicle of His
Success and that Work Will
Begin in March

Il have succeeded in financing the
proposition, and there is no longer any
doubt about the road being built. 1t is
assured.
I'VE are receiving bids now and will
start Sictual work about next March. /
hardly think we will be able to COM
mence before the first of March.
I'VE have sufficient money now to
run us for whole year"
These statements by M. O. Reed, the
well known Colfax attorney, who has
been east financing the Lewiston &
Owyhee railroad, says the Spokane
Chronicle, give assurance that the en-
terprise to open eastern Oregon and
the western border of Idaho is a sue
cess.
This means further that this city will
be put in direct communication with all
eastern Oregon and that county may
be made tributary to Spokane as wen
as to Portland.
The road is. to be between Hunting
ton, Ore, and Lewiston, Idaho, dist
ance OF 181 miles. 1t will follow directly
the course of the Snake river and in
doing so viii open up some of the rich
est mining camps In the northwest.
Among these will be the Seven Devils
country, in which so many Spokane
men have placed money.
Mr.. Reed returned yesterday from
New York, where he has been for the
post ten weeks in the interest of the
enterprise. He is stopping at the
Hotel Ridpath, where he was seen by
Chronicle reporter.
Yes, the proposition is financed
said Mr.. Reed, in response to ques-
ton. I'VE have passed the stage of
doubt. The road is assured beyond
doubt. The names of the people who
are back of us l can not give out, but
they are men whose standing is such
as to assure the success of the road.
THE New York Security and Trust
company is to act as trustee and the
bonds will be issued as the road is
completed in sections of ten miles each.
The bonds, which are to be 80 year 5
per cent bonds, win be issued about
the first of the year, but, of course. viii

HANSBROUCH'S
LAND BILL
Aims to Prevent Frauds in TIM
Der Lands, by Repeating
Timber and Stone Act

Senator Hansbrough introduced bill
in the senate which by implication, re-
peals the timber and stone act, under
which land is now acquired at $3.50 an
acre, regardless of its rca, value. The
measure is intended to cure defects in
existing laws, says the Oregonian, stop
speculation in public timber lands and
put an end to the frauds which recently
have grown into national scandal. 1t
was referred to the committee on pub
lie lands of which the author is chair
man.
The secretary of the interior is au-
thorized. under the new bill to make
examinations and estimates relative TO
quantity and value of the timber and
stone on the public lands. and to sell
the right to dispose of the same in such
quantities. as may seem advisable, to
the highest bidders. This plan is now
pursued in the sale of timber on In
dian lands in Minnesota. The title to
the land remains in the government
and the secretary of the interior may
fix the limit of time i'm which the pur-
chaser of the right shall remove the
timber or stone. The right TO cut the
timber and make ii merchantable
quantity is made inalienable.
If Senator Hansbrough's measure
becomes a law, all the timber land on
the public domain will be withdrawn
from entry and the government will
enter upon the policy of disposing of
its timber at it's market value. One
provision in the bill prohibits the en-
try of these lands under the homestead
or old land laws. It is argued by SEN
ator Hansbrough that in leaving the
fee to the land in the government, re-
forestration will take place and the
sale of timber win be a source of large
revenue.
The second section of the bin amends
the lieu land section so as to provide
when settler whose entry falls within
a forest reserve. selects another piece
of land in lieu of his original entry,
it must be more valuable for agricul-
tural purposes than for timber or stone.
Under the existing laws many of the
enjoyment who find themselves within
a forest reserve cut and dispose of the
timber on the land, and later go out
side of the reserve and file a homestead
on other timber land.
The third section of the bill amends
Lewiston evening teller. [volume] (Lewiston, Idaho) 1903-1911, 1903-11-14

the act of, March II, 1901. and requires
desert land entries to be made before
registers and receivers in local land
offices. This proposed amendment to
existing law is recommended by the
commissioner of the general land of
fee, who, in his last report, says: THE
privileges gained by the act have been
greatly abused, particularly by United
States commissioners, who have often
been parties to wholesale frauds in
connection With proofs made before
them"

Dainty Luncheon Cloths.

Luncheon cloths may be used in
various ways for small table covers,
as centers over cloths, or on polished
tables for luncheon, such as fruit, sal
ad, Dutch, chatting dish, or full course
luncheon.
Some of these cloths made of the
Oriental embroidery are very effective.
When a white and gold effect is
wished as in the horse chestnut, or
buckeye design, the gold thread is
used.
One pretty Oriental design is in the
old COUGHING stitch, old colorings, out
lined with hunters green. This is on
plain round thread linen, and the or
nament of the design is all in this
COUGHING stitch which is the laying
down of threads, that is, threads eX-
tending from tip to base in even, close
rows, until thick, smooth surface OF
six is formed. all on the surface and
keeping the form, then with two single
threads of floss, this is banded at in
tervals in the opposite direction; then,
beginning at the top, catch down
these long, last made-over stitches by
tiny stitches in rows, forming over the
whole little squares, one stitch being
directly over the other, edges quite
even and stitches also, producing a
fiat, beautiful glossy stitch, effective
and sure to wear well. Few stitches
equal it in severity. but its charm is
great and shows to its best advantage
the beauty of the silk, its gloss and
evenness of stitchery. This stitch
may be used on most designs that are
of conventional form.

Fashion Notes.

Sheer materials are universally ut
ilized in the fashioning of the summer
gown for dressy wear, the variety in
iris class being almost unlimited.
Much of the success of a gown OF
the sheer fabric depends upon the slip
worn under it. 1t may be of lawn, but
must be carefully fitted and hand
somely trimmed, while an interlining
OF chiffon adds much to the charm OF
a gown. The more handwork in evil
Gence on the gown the more elegant
it is, and shirring pin tucking in de-
signs, fagoting, briar and feather
stitching are successfully used on
FINISHED with sash in some form or
other. 1t must have ends in the back
not too long, and should be made OF
liberty silk or panne.
The large collars of white null or
Swiss are dainty and cool looking for
wear with summer gowns. They
should be trimmed with much inser-
ton of lace and delicate embroidery.
For blouses liberty silk and muiIs
and in white, ivory, and pale tints of
pink, green and blue, are trimmed
with beautiful laces, and shirred and
tucked into charming creations.
The plated skirt and short blouse
tolero, embellished with collars, cuffs,
and revers, made of embroidered linen
in some bright color, is favorite
fashion for young girls.
Sailor suits are always practical and
becoming for younger children, when
made of serge.
Sashes are an indispensable addi-
ton to childrens frocks, and while
they are generally made of black liber-
t: or taffeta, to give finishing touch
to light dress, they may also be in a
color that harmonizes with the mattel
ial
The skirt to be worn with the shirt
waist is an important question. Black
is the most serviceable for general
wear, though light skirts are now more
frequently seen than for some time. 1t
should be of walking length, whatever
the color or material may be.
Japanese wash silks and corded and
Powered muslins will be found to be
the most practical materials for wash
able negligees.
Skirts made with panels in the front
have been worn for some time, and
now the panel in the back is making
itself evident.
A London authority says that our
dressy skirts for smart occasions
should be cut shorter than heretofore,
OF round length, as the pointed train
is no more in fashion.
Another note sounded from across
the waters says that patent leather
belts, in colors, are to be very much
worn, and look smart when there is
just a dash of the same shade as the
bodice.-Housekeep
