FOR THE EAST
Electric Line Officers Will Go
Next Week to Arrange
Financial Backing

President Judson Spofford and Secre-
tary F. J. Randolph of the Lewiston &
Southeastern Electric line will leave
here next week for the east to secure
the financial assistance necessary for
the building of the electric line between
here and Grangeville and a terminal at
Nezperce. These gentlemen have
worked untiringly in securing the nec-
essary data and other adjuncts pre-
paratory to presenting the proposition
to the eastern financiers. The matter Of
statistics Of the route to be traversed
by the electric line has been in the
charge Of Mr.. Randolph who has care
fully made out full complement of
data that will intelligently show the
conditions OF the commercial and in
dustrial Importance of this section.

the latter part of this week. 1t is un-
derstood that the report will be entirely
favorable to the proposition. Mr.. Wiley
has just recently been appointed con-
sulting engineer for the reclamation
service of the United States govern
ment which proves his ability as an
engineer Of note.
Messrs. Spofford and Randolph have
just received samples of grains. grass
es lumber and timber which will be
taken along to show to the financiers Of
thee asst what Is produced in this Sec
tion. Besides this they will take with
them numberless Photographic views Of
the country contiguous to the proposed
electric line which in itself will be a
revelation to those who become inter-
ested. Some OF the samples Of grasses
to be taken along are full grown stand

measuring six feet ten inches high and
soine standing oats OF the same height

The overwhelming sentiment in favor
Of endorsing ex-senator Henry Hcst-
field as a delegate to the national con-
possibility of factional fight and the
county convention passed
off according to the slate lasting just
an hour and forty minutes. The fact
was fully developed that Mr.. Heitfeld
is extremely popular with the repre-
sentative democrats of Nez Perce
county and practically assures his en-
dorsement by this county in the future
as candidate for governor on the
democratic ticket in this state. Heit-
fields strength in Idaho and Latah
counties as well as his strength in this
county will prove a strong factor in the
convention which meets
here this year. Last night the large
majority of delegates to the county
convention had arrived in the city and
the opposing faction headed by w. p.
Hurlbut, who was also a candidate for
the national convention. began work
ing for control Of the delegates. The
friends Of Senator Heitfeld were also
active and from the general appearance
Of things the fight was slightly in favor
Of Heitfeld. This morning the situa-
tion took a different turn and when the
convention opened there was nothing
but harmony apparent. The followers
of the anti Heitfeld faction were con-
spicuous for their absence. When the
temporary chairman was named there
was no opposition and the rest Of the
business ran off as smooth as water
through funnel. 1t is not known what
effect the action will have with ref
erence to the future but II is not be-
lieved that the -Heitfeld faction
will attempt to secure control of the
organization in the county in the future
but their actions in keeping themselves
absent from the convention makes II
appear on the surface that they had not
buried the hatchet. Many of the dele
gates named this morning will leave for
Weiser next Saturday morning.

Methodist Will Meet.

The coming Methodist Worlds Con- i ference is causing greater influx of
 visitors in Los Angeles and Southern California than ever before. Already, early as 1t Is, representatives of the various religious organizations are thronging into the city and extensive arrangements are being made by the committee for carrying out the busi- ness details of the .athering. Cali fornia seems not to have walked to the realization of the size of this immense gathering, only the committee having thought of the general importance.
 Los Angeles will be transformed as for the Fiesta with banners and flags, and flowers of all kinds; the park com missioners are making arrangements for special floral designs; Sl ,0OO will be expended in the decorations of Haz- ards Pavilion where the sessions are to be held; an exhibit which will cover many thousand feet of floor space, which will be held by the missionary society who have secured the old Chamber of Commerce building for that purpose; and @l5,OOO has been raised by the Chamber of Commerce, and S10,O 900 by the Methodist Chur- ches for the entertainment of the dele gates.
 Among the amusement features will be course of lectures, opened, by concert on May 3rd. A chorus of over TOO voices is now being trained in Los Angeles by Mir. Harry Barnhart for this purpose. Philharmonic orchestra will also take part. under the direction of Herr Arnold Krauss, and several noted soloists will be secured Those invited to give the lectures are Bishop Henry P. Warren, May 3, Bishop Charles H. Fowler, May 9. Rev. J. NJ. Buckley. May l2, Dr. w. A. Quale, May, 13, Dr. NJ. c. B. Mason May 16, Dr. J. NJ. Palmer, May l9. and Bishop John H. Vincent, May g.

The more prominent chairnen of coui- mittees are the following: local con- mittee on arrangements G. A. Hough, offices Chamber of Commerce.; Hotel Committee s. F.

Just before Colonel Epes Randolph left Tucson for Los Angeles Friday evening he incidentally remarked that meut of the Pacific Electric lines in Los Angeles and the present trip was made to drill his successor in the ac- tive work attached to the office of manager. Colouel Randolph said that he would remain with the Pacific Electric Company only as -presi- dent. He added that it was impossi- ble for him to enjoy good health while in Los Angeles.
 A president of the Cananea, Yaqui River, Arizona Sc Colorado railroad and the Glla Valley, Globe t North ern railway, relations with other roads and Arizona interests, also joint receiver, there is enough to keep Col onel Randolph busy right in Tucson, says the Citizen, where he has served the Southern Pacific Company as SUD- erintendent of the Tucson Division for six years ending August l, 1901.

Surprising increases.

The official Bulletin of Statistics (Boletin de Estadistica) of Mexico prints figures of the gold production and silver production of Mexico for the month of July, 1903, the first month of the fiscal year. They pre- sent some very remarkable changes as compared with those for the cores bonding month of 1902. For in stance:
 For July. 1902. the value of silver produced was S4,953,67 cents omit ed. For July. 1903. the value of sil- yer produced is reported at SS,4S6,- l66, or nearly double that Of July of the year 1902
 In the matter of gold production the figures are even more astonishing Mexico's gold production for July. 1903, the gold production is reported at S2, I5O, POP, or nearly three times greater than the production of the same month of the year 1902. Of the total amount for July. 1903, the ex- ports of gold are reported at Sl,9S2, 662. .S6, compared with S6S2 ,319 65 for Suly 1902.
 Assuming that the figures printed are not erroneous, Mexico is now an nually producing more gold than is California, more, even, than is Colo. rado, the leading gold-producing Statc in the | nited States.

It was also stated that MT. Cooper before arriving at a conclusion with re gard to his candidacy, communicated with Jndge Kibbey, who it had been understood, woul1 be a candidate. He received a reply from Judge kibbey stating that he would in no case be a candidate and thereup on the friends of MT. Cooper began work in his behalf. Mir.

 The Fl Tig-e mines, owned and operated by the Lucky Tiger Combina- ton Mining Company, are perhaps the most promising of any in northern Sonora to-day During the past ten months about 6, 900 feet of development work has been done and it is stated that fully Sl,25O,OOO worth of ore is blocked out in the workings. On the dump there is estimated to be upwards of $500, ,OO0 worth of ore available for milling The ore runs largely in sil- yer Shipments of Sl0O ore have been made along with the development work.
