c. T. Stranahan last night received
a telegram from Washington to the
effect that the department OF Indian
affairs had approved the sale, OF the
townsite of Spalding together with all
the buildings and about 800 acres all
known as the Nez Perce agency prop
erty which was made to him recently.
This decision settles the protest made
by Indian Agent Macarthur to the de-
partment asking that the sale of the
property be held up for the reason that
much better bid could be received
The price paid by Mr.. Stranahan was
s5125.
The property in question has been
purchased from Mr.. Stranahan by Mr..
Geo. H. Storer and associates of this
city and it was learned today that a
company will soon be formed tc take
over the agency property and improve
the same for townsite purposes. 1t has
been known for some time that the
Northern Pacific railroad would aban-
don the stations at Sweetwater and
North Lapwai and consolidate them in
the town of Spalding, making that city
junction point.
Mr.. Storer was visited by a Teller
reporter today but he was reticent as
10 the plans outlined by himself and
associates. He did not deny having
purchased the property and stated that
as soon as several minor details were
arranged that the company would be
formed and the news given to the
public. Already an application has

land attack it would be impossible to
reduce the fortress.
