Great Northern Wreck.

Another smash-up occurred in
the Great Northern yards here at
this place, yesterday morning, when
the east-bound passenger, due here
30 minutes past midnight, crashed
into the rear end Of a freight train
standing on the main track. What
business the freight train had, at
that time, on the main track, Is
very problematical. No signalman
warned the oncoming passenger,
loaded with its sleeping load OF
human freight, of the danger Turk
ing ahead. The crew of the freight
was switching in the yard, when
all at once the engine OF the pas
senger train plowed into the ca
boose, grinding the latter to splin-
tiers, and jumped onto gravel car
ahead raising the engine rearing
into the air. The head of the en-
CINE, it was No. 931, was stove in
and the woodwork of the cars
caught fire, consuming a good por
ton until checked by water. The
engine crew on 932 jumped, and
barring a few scratces, was lucky
to reach terra frma uninjurcd. NJ
one Of the passengers was injured
except for a few heavy jolts.
1t might have been somewha
different ii the train had rot beer
so near the station, and had, there
fore, slowed dowa. Whose fault i
was will be determined later. TIL
damage to railroad property wa
limited to the engine and a fey
freight cars. The wrecking trail
with crew arrived early in tn
morning to remove the wreck, an
the track was clear sometime yes
terday afternoon.

had set forth the condition in which
these school sections are left, an
agreement was reached that the
state should be given solid body
of timber land in exchange for
such school lands, this land to be
maintained as a state reserve. pro-
ceeds of timber sales from it going
to the public school fund.
Mr.. Pinchot explained in detail
the scope OF the new regulations
and also the plans of the service
for the future. Governor Cooling
said he was entirely satisfied after
his talk with Mr.. Pinchot and was
ready to assist in every way that
he could in the protection of forests
and watersheds of the state. He
found that the plans OF the service
and the new resulations being put
into effect were all reasonable and
satisfactory in the highest degree,
while a most favorable agreement
had been reached with reference to
the common school lands belonging
to the state embraced in the re-
serves.
Mr.. Pinchot and the governor
agreed that the subject of agricult-
ural lands in reserves was fully
and satisfactorily covered by the
recommendation made to congress
by the public lands commission, Of
which MIR. Pinchot is a member
That recommendation was thai

THREE LAbORERS KILLED BY
A BLAST

An awful explosion occurred at
Dahlberg & Johnson's camp, on the
Corbin line at 2 p. m. yesterday,
causing the death of three men and
the serious injury to three others.
The accident occurred at a tunnel
approach about miles from town.
1t was caused by the workmon
striking a blast that had failed to
go off.
The fatal blast was put in about
five weeks ago. 1t was to lave been
discharged along with a number OF
others by a blttery. Why it failed
to discharge is only conjecture
With battery there is only one
report, no matter how many shots
are touched off, so there was n,
way Of knowing that one had fail.

the names Of the dead and injured

Buckhorn in Trouble.

Monday morning Sheriff DOnst
drove out from here to the Buck
horn mine, owned and operated by
the Hoosier Mining Company, to
serve some attachment papers for
debts on the property. 1t has been
rumored for quite a while that the
mine was in financial straights,
which can not be wondered at,
when the disastrous cOnAagration
of year ago is remembered, which
dcvoured all buildings and sawed
lumber, made the road impossible
for anything to travel, and just
now as the company was getting
ready to start further developments
on a larger scale, financial cmbar-
rassment overtakes it.
The property was always consid-
cred valuable, aad extensive dew
elopments have corclusively YER
flied that fact, but situated as it is
from all railroad connection, it was
hardly wise to force work too much,
although there is no question that
the mine is all right, as are other
prospects in the same belt. Now
that the S. & l. is building up that
way promising facilities for trans
portation, and the Buc4 horn peo-
pie have looked longingly ahead
for realizing some returns, it would
be very unfortunate at this time /
they would be compelled to stol
work and shut down indefnitcl,
on account OF financial pressure
1t would also in a measure be de
trimental to Boomers Ferry, whicl
would like to see the fact establish
ed that the surrounding hills ar
y. highly mineralized, which is a
?. present only guesswork, as tn
Buckhorn is the most develope
property hereabouts.
{ 1t is to be hoped that the troubl
e will pass by, and that the min
will be more developed than befor
The present trouble was caused b
the firm of Durkheimer, of Por
land to collect a bill of $500 tt
= Sheriff had to shut up the nil
e and suspend operations for IL

VALUABLE LANDS
FOR IDAHO
State to Profit by Agreement In Regard TO
State School Lands.

Governor Gooding did a great
stroke of business for the state of
Idaho when he secured an agree
ment from Chief of the Forestry
Department, Mr. Pinchot, to allow
the state to select lands in a body
in lieu of Sections 16 and SO in the
forest reserves within the state.
Something like % per cent of the
state is embraced in forest reserves.
The number of school sections in
the fores reserves is about 500 If
the state were allowed to go into
one of the reserves and select these
lands in a body, it could easely get
lands worth $4,000 to the claim"
or $4,000 per section. 500 such
sections would be worth So, 100000.
1t is doubtful if the school sections,
take them as they come, would be
NOIlll Ollt-luliu Nlldb SUN. bt
Governor has, therefore, made an
arrangement that will enrich the
state institutions some 100000 OF
dollars. If Governor Gooding did
no other act of credit during his
administration, this one would
distinguish his administration.
A dispatch referring to this sub
iect reads as follows:
AS a result of a conference be-
tween Governor Gooding and Gif-
ford Pinchot, chief of the forestry
service, perfect understanding be-
ween the state and national gov
eminent has been reached on the
subject of forest reserves in this
state. The government and for
estry service will cooperate here
after to the fullest extent on all
matters pertaining to the protec
ton of forest aud water sheds. Al
important feature OF the under
standing is in relation to the STATE

Hollinger in his new Quarters.

During the week, the new store
building being finished, T. J Hol-
linger moved his stock OF goods in
to the commodious quarters. Mr..
Hollinger has for long time been
contemplating the change, as his
old quarters were entirely made
quate for his ever growing trade,
and the cramped condition did not
show the goods to the best advan-
tage. But this is all changed now.
Bright, large front windows give
ample light and cheerful aspect
to the whole store. The goods are
now displayed to good advantage
Mr.. Hollinger will be the gamer
thereby.

Citizens Meeting last Tuesday.


a citizens meeting was called on
the evening of the 18th to confer
with Mr.. J. f. Reyvane, who rep
resents Spokane parties in regard
to putting in water system.
Mayor Alexander called the meet
ing to order, stating the reasons
for calling the meeting, and intro
duced Mr.. Reyvanc, who stated
that the whole proposition had
been left in his hands. The cost
of installing the water system, ac-
cording to his figures, the point of
diversion being Myrtle Creek,
would be about $15,175. Mr.. Rey-
vane further stated that MIR. Win
ston, who intends to finance the
project, was at present in Chicago,
and would return in about three
weeks.
Mayor Alexander appointed a
committee of three to solicit among
the residents to ascertain the
amount and who would contract to
take water from the system. The
committee appointed consists of A
J. Kent, Chas. O'Callaghan and s
E. Henry.
Another meeting is called for
next Monday night.

MUST PAY DUES
ON ALL IN TRANSIT
APPEALS COURT HOLDS OCEANIC
COMPANY FOR PAYMENT OF TAX
ON IT'S ALIEN PASSENGERS.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 3.-The
Circuit Court of Appeals handed down
a decision yesterday afternoon in the
case of the Oceanic Steamship Com
pany against the Government in favor
of the action of Collector of the Port
Stratton, who collected 81 per head
from the steamship company for 2lO
alien passengers who went through this
country. The opinion was written by
Judge Hawey, Judge Ross concurringi
but Presiding Judge Gilbert entered a
very positive dissenting opinion.
Judge w. w. Morrow, who decided
the case in the lower court, whence
the appeal was taken by the Govern
ment, concluded that the imposition
OF the head tax, even temporarily, up
on alien passengers in transit was a
violation of the statute, which express
ly forbids imposing Of such a tax"
In his opinion Of yesterday, concur
red in by Judge Ross, Judge Hawley
holds that rule 10 Of the regulations Of
the Commission of immigration is va
lid. He holds that the Government
must be protected against such pas
sengers as might represent themselves
to be in transit through the country,
and who, after escaping the Federal
tax of 50, might sell their tickets back
to foreign land and remain in this
country"
The vigor of Judge Gilbert's dissent
ing opinion is expressed in the first
paragraph of his conclusions. He says:
THE statute which imposes a tax on
passengers, not citizens of the United
States, arriving on vessels coming from
a foreign country to a port within the
! United States contains the express pro-
vision that the head tax herein provid-
ed for shall not be LEVIED upon aliens in
! transit through the United States. The
act further provides that the Commits
sioner-General of immigration shall
establish such rules, not inconsistent
with the law, as he shall deem best cal
culated for carrying out the provision.
of the act and for the protection of the
United States and aliens migrating
thereto from fraud and loss"
Thus the opinion of Gilbert sustain.
the decision of Judge Morrow in the
! Circuit Court, from which the appea
was taken; but Judges Hawley anC
! Ross reversed this decision and decid,
against the Oceanic Steamship Com
pany. Judge Morrow, of course, die
not participate in the judgment of the
Appeals Court, as he was disqualified
through having handed down the con
tested opinion.
