RAILROAD MEN
RUSHING WORK
0. R 1 n. and Northern Pacific Fight.
Ing for Territory.
BOTH REFUSE TO MAKE STATEMENT
At the Same Time are lncreas-
Ing Force and Supplies.

Since our last issue the prospect
for railroad construction on Camas
Prairie has materially frightened
but rs far as positive knowledge of
the future actions of the companies
is concerned the people are as
much in the dark as ever. Both
the o. X. & N. and Northern Pacific
companies have surveying parties
in the field between here and Lew
iston and both Of them absolutely
refuse to make any statement as to
what they are going to do or where
they are going. At the same time
they are both bringing in more
wagons and supplies and construct
ing camps that give every indica-
tion OF extensive work.
Since last week the Northern
Pacific has sent two surveying
parties into the field and it is be-
lieved both will be under the dir
ection Of Engineer Pollard who
was with the FIRST party to arrive.
Yesterdays Tribune reported them
camped on the old o. r. & N. sur
vey at Rock Corral on Lawyers
canyon and q permenant camp is
apparently being established. This
crossing is said to be the most ad-
vantageous point on the old sur
vey and it is more shan probable
that both companies are desirous
Of holding it.
In the meantime Engineer Kip.
pei Of the o. R. & N. has divided
his party and is working part o.
his force in Little canyon and
others this side Of MOhler. Boil
parties are receiving large consign'
ments of supplies and every thing
indicates that they will be in the
field all summer.
A telegram from Lewiston yes
terday stated that it was positive
~ known that . right-of-way maj
for the Northern Pacific had lef
there and was between that poin
and Grangeville. The absolute
secrecy of both companies make
it impossible to get definite infor
nation but one thing is certain
both theae big railroad companie
are showing q decided interest il
this section and that fact alon
looks good to the people of Cana
Prairie.

After Dog Poisoner

Quite nun Der Of our best citi-
zens have bonded themselves to-
gether in an effort to apprehend
and secure the conviction OF the
party who has been scattering
poison around town to kill dogs.
A number Of pet animals have
been killed in this way, some right
in the home yard, and our best
people are determined that it shall
be stopped.
A purse of s4OO has been sub
scribed and ia offered for the ar
rest and conviction of the do(
poisoner. This may have q ten
dency to put stop to the villanoui
work, but if the culprit is evel
caught he had better ask for q
change of venue at once.

More Horse Stealing.

For nearly two years Idaho
county has apparently been free
from horse thieves but last wei K
they again made their presence
felt in the country north Of town.
E. s. Spooner living near old
Columbus had horse taken from
his barn on Thursday night and as
yet no trace Of the animal has
been found. The horse was dark
bay branded S S on left shoulder.
The loss has been reported to the
officials and every effort will be
made to apprehend the guilty
party.

TICKETS COMPLETED IoNDAY NIGHT

A mass meeting was held as the
court house last Thursday night at
which time the candidates for coun-
cilmen Of the several wards were
ratified and candidates for the
several city Offices were put in the
field. There was not very large
attendance and for several of the
officers there was no opposition.
The ticket named was, Mayor,

Haven; police judge, Lycurgus
Vinyard; city engineer; w. G. Nc
Mutt; councilman first ward, Fen
Batty; second ward, B. G. Wiltse;
third ward, J. B. Adams.
After the convention was held
it was learned that Gov. Gooding
has approved the bill passed by the
legislature providing for biennial
electors for city and requiring two
councilmen to be elected from
each ward this year, This requir-
ed the holding Of another ward
meeting which was done Monday
night and the following additional
councilmen were nominated: First
ward, Joseph Pfeufer; second ward,
A. F. Parker: third ward, ]. w.

A petition was also circulated

in the coming election there
really are none although few
would like to inject the old water

back would be a piece of gaucherie
worthy of the despised Warren, so he
made the best of an awkward situation
and went forward
The vision of Edith Holt pouring out
the matutinal coffee had grown distress
ing1y shadowy, and his heart had dropped
down into his boots, a distance of rather
more than a thousand miles But he
greeted them pleasantly enough, met
Warren's black scow1 with a smile of
polite Indifference, and would have
passed on, only that Edith Holt turned
upon him a glance SO pregnant with
entreaty that he constituted himself her
faithful knight on the spot. And lol his
heart bounded back those thousand miles
and beat bravely III his bosom again;
but the craving to punch Warren's head
remained painfully insistent.
Warren's attitude was not, indeed,
calculated to allay that craving, His
face was flushed with sullen rage, and
there was open insolence in the baleful
gaze he turned upon the interrupter of his
t&te-a-t&te with Miss Holt.
I'VE seem fated to meet, Miss Holt, and
as usual | am trespasser," said Lester.
An articu1ate grow1 broke from War
rens lips Edith glanced at him in a
naughty establishment that was not
lessened by the almost uncomfortable
passion she saw depicted on his features.
Now, indeed, Lester recognized the mar
quise of the aHCieH regime. The dainty
head took a higher poise, the flower
like mouth hardened, and there was a
note of freezing superiority in her voice
as she addressed the young man.
Il need not detain you any longer, Mr..
Warren" she said DR. Lester, there
is a gentleman at the Hall. Lord Arm
cliffe's solicitor who IS very anxious to see
you. If you have nothing else to do, will
you walk in that direction?"
Nothing could give me greater pleas

Edith instantly turned in the direction
of the Hail; but long after they had left
the spot Testers quick ears told him that
the discounted agent had not moved.
Mr. Angler went into the village in
the hope of finding you" said Edith,
but | expect he will be back soon
LAS a matter of fact, l have only re-
Gently left him, confessed Lester Never
theless, l hope you will let me accompany
you to the Hall"
OF course nothing was said OF Warrens
offensive behavior, but there was nee
essarily tacit understanding; and Edith
accepted the protfered escort with simple
thanks. They talked little: the girl was
overweight. and Lester was tactful
enough to realize that she was best left
to herself. He took his leave, therefore,
directly they came in sight of the house.
And though he was parting from the only
person in the world. he left her in the
seventh heaven of delight, for Edith had
given him a grateful little pressure of the
hand at parting.
Meanwhile, Harry Warren remained.

1t was while Lester was giving utter
ance to this kindly thought that he
emerged into an open glade of the wood
and found the object of his solicitude
thirty PAGES in front of him, engaged in
earnest conversation with Miss Holt
Warren's voice was raised, though his
words were indistingu1shable and there

ITO be frank, DR.. Lester, my principal

to say nothing about it for the present
You may rest satisfied that there will

Then l will let you know. If, as
hope, Lord Arncliffe's death turns out to
have been due to natural causes, there
need not be any publicity"
WELL" said Lester dryly, 'as it is
current in the village that Lord Arncliffe
was poisoned, shot, stabbed, strangled
and blown up with dynamite, fear there
is likely to be some little publicity. 1t
seems to be a matter of common knOwl-
edge that he suspected an attempt was
being made upon his life
But this is terrible!" cried Angler,
almost wringing his hands.
"A mere nine days wonder" Lester
assured him with that serene philosophy
which enables us to bear up SO well under
other peoples troubles.

generations in a village like this, re-

They had wandered into Arncliffe Park
during their conversation, and after
Anglers departure Lester strolled I'M
consciously, though the trout stream lay
behind him. He was bordering over the
events of the last twenty-four hours, but
enough the mystery of Lord
Arncliffe's death had no place in his
thoughts For him the events of a
day all resolved themselves
into one piCture-a vision from TrianOn
of old, vision with hair of ruddy brown
with sunshine tangled in it; the eyes a
mystery behind a veil of azure crystal;
the mouth a love-poem, and the delicate
