LOOKING FOR
A RAILROAD
GranseyiIIe People Specializing
Whether Recent Land Sales
Denote Iron Horse"

(Speclai 10 Evening Teller.)
GRANGEVILLE, Oct. 21.-Mr. John
O'Leary was seen today by The Teller
correspondent. When asked concern
ing the reported deal for the Denve~
townsite he said:
Mr.. Wren was here and the deal has
been made. All Of the papers are
drawn up and there is absolutely no
question about the sale. He purchased
$40 acres of my farm adjoining Denver,
and 700 acres of the Mulhall townsite,
paying $26 per acre"
The people of Camas prairie will not
believe but that this is significant Of
activity. They do not believe that
Wren and Greenough are looking for
any investments in this section unless
they are on the inside.
There Is considerable speculation as
to what this action means. That it
means a railroad is rather taken for
granted, and the talk is now as to
whether it is the intention of making
Denver a terminus thus still leaving
Grangeville without a road. 1t is gen.
orally believed however that the large
improvements here will demand that
the road continue on Grangeville when
it comes.
The commissioners yesterday ordered
the assessor of the county to Assess and
collect taxes from the territory that
has been in dispute between Idaho and
Washington counties. There ID a strip
Of territory here that has not been payf
ing taxes because both counties claimed
it. and the matter was not settled. The
. commissioners have decided to settle
it themselves, and to assess and col
lect from the people living in this dis
trict.

All falling bodies partake of the earth's

NAVAL MILITIA IS FOR
THE HALE MILITIA BILL

Washington, Jan. 15.-The National
Association of Naval Militia met here
to frame bases for legislation
to promote the naval militia of the
country. The delegates called on the
President, who made a brief address,
saying, in part:
ut is not necessary for me to say
to a body like this that the position
of the United States as a great world
power. and her ability to maintain with
dignity and self-respect her position
in the world at large, depend primarily
upon the efficiency of her navy, and
that you, by the work you do in the
naval militia, can contribute. as no
other body of civilians on land can
possibly contribute, to make that eff
cheney reach high standard"
The association approved what is
known as the Hale naval militia bill
and the Hale Naval Reserve bill. The
naval militia bill is fashioned after the
Dick army militia bill, and will put
the naval militia on the same relative
footing as the land forces. The militia
will be purely state organizations.

ANOTHER SLICE
or THE PENSION PIE.
Every Union Soldier Who Served
Ninety Days to Get One.


Washington, Jan. 15.-There will be
introduced in Congress tomorrow, in
the Senate, by Mr.. Dolliver of Iowa,
and in the House by Mr.. Calderhead
of Kansas, a service pension bill, back
ed by the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, which, if enacted into law. will
give pension of $12 a month to every
soldier who served ninety days in the
Union army during the Civil War who
was honorably discharged therefrom
and who has attained the age of 81
years.
A like pension will be given to the
widows of such soldiers in all cases
where the marriage took place prior
to June o. 1890.
The introduction of the bill is the
result of the meeting in Washington
of the Committee on Pensions of the
Grand ARMY.
The committee had an extended con-
ference with the President during the
day, and the latter assured them of his
entire sympathy in their undertaking.

NOW AIM AT MILLS.
He viii BE Opposed for COnhrma-
ton as a Brigadier.

Washington, Jan. 15.-The nomina-
ton of Col. Albert L. Mills, superin-
tendent of the United States Military
Academy, who has been nominated by
the President to be brigadier general,
vice Col. William E. Dougherty, to
be promoted and retired, will meet op-
position in the Senate.
In the Senate Committee on Military
Affairs objection to favorable
report of his nomination was made by
Senators Blackburn and Scott. 1t is
asserted by several senator's support
ing the nomination of Brig. Gen.
Leonard Wood to be major general.
that the opposition is not due to any
antagonism of Col. Mills, but is a
movement consistent with opposition
from some senators to the confirma-
ton of Gen. Wood. Whether this is
true or not. the committee passed the
nomination with a brief reference. and
it is understood that it will not be
taken up again until the contest over
the Wood nomination has been fought
to a conclusion in the Senate.
Col. Mills was promoted over the
head of large number of army Off
