will be put to work at once on the
Lewiston-Riparia branch of the o. r.

time to handle a portion of the crop
from the Idaho district this year.
Ties, bridge timber and other mater

branch and as a portion of the grade
has been partially completed, it will
be an easy matter to finish the work.
About 100 men are now employed on
the work. Practically all the prelim-
mary surveys have been made and
the line is ready for the contractors.

SAW THE MURDER.
Fred Billings Was u Witness to the
Killing of Fred Andrews In Wild
Horse, Harney County.

Fred Billings Was a Witness to the
Killing of Fred Andrews in Wild
Horse, Harvey County,
Fred Billings, a horse buyer of
Kootenai, Idaho, who passed through
the city this morning from Harney
county, where he has been on horse
buying tour. was a witness to the kill
, ing of Fred Andrews, a ranch fore
man at Wild Horse, last week.
Wild Horse is but a cow town"
of so population, near the Nevada
line and the news of the killing did
not reach the outside world until
three days after it had happened.
Andrews. who was foreman on a
big cattle ranch in southern Harney
county, had discharged cowboy who
was known as Red" because Red"
had complained of the food furnish
ed on the "chuck" wagons. After
Red was discharged he had fuss
with Andrews and threats were made.
The following evening the two men
met in the log cabin which served as
a saloon, store and postoffice at Wild
Horse, and both having been drinking,
the quarrel was renewed, and An
drews whipped Red" who disappear
ed from the house into the darkness.
Andrews continued to drink and
quarrel, and finally engaged in
fight with another cowboy named
Foster, a friend of Red" and while
Andrews and Foster were clinched,
Red" suddenly rushed into the house,
stabbed Andrews in the neck, cutting
his jugular vein and laying open his
neck and throat for four inches. and
then ran out and mounted his horse
and fled southwark into Nevada.
When Red" rushed into the house
and stabbed Andrews, Billings and a
man named Johnson were seated on
the counter in the far end of the
store, watching the fight between
Foster and Andrews, and no one
knew what had happened for several
minutes, so quickly had Red" made
his murderous attack.
Billings says sympathy is with
Red" and it is doubtful il he is ever
brought to justice. That portion of
oregon is the only real typical COW
country left in the west. Everybody
lives from the range, and the "chuck"
wagon is the only hotel to be found.
The postoffices nearly all have ss-
looms attached and 1t is $50 miles
every way, from Wild Horse to civil |
ization

Norway would provoke, the old senti-

common creed and of practically COM
mon language would induce the
Swedes, who are a generous and q
chivalrOus people. to spend blood and
treasure in the defense of their some
time partner against foreign oppres-
sion. But, even if Sweden were willing
to look On unmoved at the dismember-
ment of Norway, there is a conclusive
reason why she could not crafty her
desire. Her own vital interests would
imperiously forbid a course of conduct
so suicidal. If the presence of Russia
in Finland is steady menace to
Sweden and Norway combined, as DR..
Sven Hedin contends, the presence of
Russia in what is now Norwegian ter

east to Tromso and Kvalo on the west,
