LIGHTS FOR
The CARNIVAL
Electric Light Company Expects
to Make a Fine ispIay.

No better news could be expected or
desired just now than the announce
ment that the Vinita Electric Light
and Power company expect to light
the business section of the city during
carnival week; and unless the damage
to the boiler and engine is greater
than is now apparent not only this
will be done, but the company will
also string the streets with handsome
light decorations.
Just as soon as the contract now be-
ing considered by the city council is
finally acted upon, dynamo will be
borrowed from a nearby town and
ordered shipped here by express.
Should these plans fail, the city will
put up a sufficient number Of large gas
lamps to supply light during the time
of the carnival. Let US hope that the
electric lights will be turned on before
that time.

COUNCIL PASSED
LIGHT ORDINANCE
Decided To Draw Contract
With Few Alterations.

The city council at their special
meeting last night passed favorably
upon the contract with the Electric
Light company and the ordinance
covering the same was advanced TO
the second reading. The resolution
to submit the proposition to a vote Of
the people was lost for want Of a
second, and il is virtually understood
that the contract will be favorably
acted upon at the special meeting
called for next Monday night.
The contract which is too lengthy
for publication here, is to be for fif-
teen years. 1t has a graduated price
for street lights, and as compared
with other towns, it is shown to be
cheaper and the contract, requires
good service on the part Of the COM
pany.
The question, summed up in short
seems to resolve itself into this man
ner. The city must have light, the
company has it for sale, and to get
the best contract and the best service
was all The council cound do.

JOHN R. SKINNER
KILLS A MAN
An Attempt at CIaim-Iumping
Resulted Fatally.

Cleveland, Ok, Oct. 6-Jno R. Skin
ner, an old farmer who lives six miles
south of here, ex-county commissioner,
killed H. R. Huggett, a real estate
man, late Wednesday afternoon as a
result Of an attempt made by Huggett
and Others to locate mineral claims on
the Skinner homestead.
Huggett, A. n. Richardson and W..
T. Foley drove out and attempted to
post location notices on the place.
Skinner, who had repeatedly warned
prospectors to keep OF his place, opened
fire with a repeating rife. Huggett
was shot through the body A ball
passed through Richards hat and
clipped a lock Of hair from his head.

and threatened to kill them all if they
attempted to leave.
She states that her brother always
kept whiskey about the place and during
his fits Of madness would drink rather
heavily.
She said she would never regret his
being killed and that she was willing
to 60 before the judge and jury and tell
the true story.
She would not say anything regarding
Ed Harlan or the killing, but said she
wanted the public to know her story.
She seemed very happy at times and
laughed at the story published in yerter-
days chieftain regarding her. Asked if
II was correct, she said II was mostly so
except that she had no feeling for him
and did not induce Harlan to kill him
She said she never saw her brother af-
ter he was killed until he was carried
out Of the Harlan house.
Tie officers are still in doubt as to
where Hunt was killed. Very few believe
that il occurred at Harlan's house.
There are several discrepancies in the
confessions and it is hardly probable that
the case viii be tried at this term Of
court.

We Are in Washington County and
Want 70 Qshain.' Says
President hgviR5.

D. O. Nevin of Weiser, general
counsel of the p & l. N. railway,
and general manager of the Iron
Springs Mining company, is in the
city looking after the bill fixing the
boundary line between Washington
and Idaho counties, says the Capital
News. Mr.. Nevin said the Iron
Springs company had Incorporated
and built its plant in Washington
county and that they desired to re-
main SO, not that they we're unfriendly
to their northern neighbors but they
did not care to scale two or three
northern ranges to reach the county
seat.
One of the most promising mining
companies in this part of the state is
that of the Iron Springs. A great
deal of development work has been
done, opening up large bodies of val
liable, gold bearing ore. A 100-ton
cyanide plant will be put in at the
mines on Rapid River without delay,
which will be increased later on to a
capacity of 500 tons per day. A fine
electric power plant will be installed
during the summer on Rapid River
which will be used TO operate all the
machinery OF the reduction works,
together with the drills,

ore in quantity until they had reached
a depth of 305 feet or more The
shaft had passed through strata of pay
ore but these strata had not been ex-
plored. Mr. Whitlock said the FL. Y.
company would continue work on the
Climax shaft and the Dakota tunnel.
Regarding the strike in the Stand
ard; Mr. Whitlock said it had not
been overstated He made personal
inspection of the property shortly be-
fore he left Roosevelt and found that
the strike was just as represented.
The strike was entirely unexpected.
The Standard people we're driving a
tunnel to strike ledge which they
expected to cut at about 125 feet.
About 90 feet in they struck ledge
60 feet in width. The first assays
they obtained we're in the neighbor-
hood of $40 ton and the values in
creased to the middle of the ledge,
where an exceptionally rich streak two
feet in width was encountered.
When Mr.. Whitlock left Roosevelt
the Standard tunnel in which the
strike was made was still in pay ore
but the formation was changing. He
said the vein was fully go feet in
width. The tunnel will be continued
until it cuts the ledge for which it
was started. No drifting has yet
been done on the rich vein, but ther e
is every reason TO believe that the
vein is permanent. The strike in the
Standard has greatly encouraged those
who hold property in the vicinity.
Mr.. Whitlock said the Dewey mill
was running to its full capacity in
good ore. Work was being continued
in the Burr Oak tunnel on the Sunny
side. Floyd Barnett, who has I
promising group of claims on Divide
creek, is working six men on th'
property and the showing already oh
tained is very encouraging.
