ION NORTHERN ROAD
Active Strife toI Right ef Way
]. Between ths 0. k. }h.
and the \. p.

The resumption of the railroad war
in the north is of much interest to
this part of the country. The strife
is between the Northern Pacific and
the o. R. & N. to control Camas
Prairie, and whenever northern line
reaches Grangeville it will have but
-z2n miles to build to reach Council
and complete the railway link be-
tween the north and the south.
Speaking of movements, the Lew
iston Tribune says of the Northern
Pacific: The second surveying crew
sent out by the Northern Pacifiic
company, in charge of Engineer j. l.
Horrocks, reached here today and
proceeded to the Pollard camp at the
Rock Corral crossing on Lawyers
canyon. The advance guard Of the
party reached here last night but
none of the men will talk and 80
guarded were the members of the
party that they would not engage in
social conversation with the citizens.
The reticence of the party has been
highly amusing to the people here as
| the men would not answer the custo-
mary salutations and when making
purchases in the stores would make
their wants known in monosylla-
bles.
Word reached here today that the
Northern Pacific now has right-of.
way men in the field between this
point and Lewiston and that they are
now working along the line of the
old survey from Culdesac to the
point. The information is to tn,
effect that Lewiston man is engaged
with the N. P. representatives in th,
work but diligent inquiry over thu
phone to Lewiston today failed to SO
cure any information as to the iden
tity of the person. The report il
circulation here is that when tn
Northern Pacific decided to sent
surveyors into the field, the decision
was also reached that right DIVA,
men should follow up the surveyor
as rapidly as the surveyors are made
permanent to thus secure necessary
rights in order to enable contractor
to visit the ground at an early dat
for estimates on the cost of the road
from Ouldesac to Grangeville. There
are now parties in Grangeville wht
claim they have positive information
that the Northern Pacific has at thi
time completed all the plans fol
building the prairie branch for th'
reason that the Union Pacific has de
finitely served notice on its rival tina

st. Petersburg, March 25. The
industrial problem in st. Petersburg
again entered on difficult stage, the
owners of many factories having, in
consequence of continued backing and
filling by their employees, decided to
close down their works entirely, lock-
ing out 80, 600 men. The idle work
men are In ugly frame of mind. The
machinery in one of the big cotton
mills was wrecked yesterday and dis
order is in the air. Trouble is ex-
pected and it is believed the wilder
spirits are now not without bombs and
other weapons of defense and reprisal.
Guard officers continue to receive
warnings that they will sign their
death warrants II they order the
troops to fire, and q social propaganda
Of demonstration and disturbance is
evident.
The proprietors of the cotton mills
and woolen mills which have been
operating on the smallest possible
margin of profit, are generally plan
ing to pay off and discharge their en-
ployes, trying, with the aid of the
authorities, to send them back to the
villages.
It is openly stated among the work
men that the fighting wing of the
social revolutionists has passed sem
tenoe of death on 80 high personages,
the list being headed with the name
of Grand Duke Alexis and ending
with that of the emperor and bearing
also the name of the dowager empress.

million dollars. II 1t goes through
IL Will give the church an empire Of
land in Canada; but, says the Trib-
une, ut leaked out last night through
party who is close to some Of the
hierarchy that there is hitch In the
deal. The hierarchy has the money,
which 1t has drawn from the rank
and file Of the church, to pay for the
property, but it wants some assurance
that the polygamists, who have gone
to that country will be protected and
not driven out of the Dominion. And
it is upon this that the hitch occurs.
The hierarchy is an unusually close
corporation, and the past has shown
that 1t does not give up without get
ing more than value received in re-
turn, but In this case the option paid
may be lost and the deal fall through
unless assurance of protection can be
given.
The party has gone back to Canada
to see if it can bring affairs about SO
that the assurance can be given the
church which will consumate the deal.

Fine Crop.

The best yield of cotton we
have yet heard reported this year
is that of Mr.. Tat Norton who
lives two miles northwest Of
GuntoWn. On one and a half
acres of ground he has already
ginned two bales and will have
at least a half bale more. The
land on which this crop was pro-
duced was poor up land with
clay foundation. Mr.. Norton
began the preparation Of the
land during the winter by tur-
ming it over with a two horse
pillow and running a subsoil furrow
behind the turning pillow. Before
planting the ground was again
plowed and eight hundred pounds
of commercial fertilizer was put
in the drill. The rows were made
five feet apart with the cotton
chopped about 16 inches. At
the second blowing another two
hundred pounds of commercial
fertilizer was put under the cot
ton. The cotton began to open
early and by October 18th lIr.
Norton had picked two bases.
This is the best yield on upland
that we have heard of this year
That it pays to fertilize and IN
tensify is evident by the result
of Mr.. Norton's experiment
which he will repeat next year
though on a much larger scale.

Southern Cotton Association Meets

The Lee County Association
met Saturday morning at eleven
o'clock at the court house with
only a fair crowd present. OW-
ing to illness Hon. Sam Wither-
spoon who was billed to address
the convention failed to be on
hand, but DR. Wood, state secre-
tary of the association, and Mr..
Whitney of Jackson were present
and delivered addresses which
were highly entertaining and in
structive. These gentlemen re-
viewed the work of the cotton
association since it's organization
last January in New Orleans,
and showed the wonderful result
in advancing the price of cotton
until it had reached a price far
in excess of that paid for any
previous large crop. The pro-
Queer had been the beneficiary
instead of the Spectator in this
instance.
The farmers were urged to
stand together and to use all
possible means to increase the
consumption of cotton which
meant higher prices to the PRO-
Queer. DR.. Wood called atten-
ton to the fact that if the flour
used in the South was bought in
sacks instead of barrels a million
bales more of cotton would be
required to supply this addition
al demand. He stated that in
nearly all towns of thirty We
hundred people a thousand b.r-
rels of flour were sold per mo tn
on an average. For one yaar
the cost of these barrels Woald
reach in the neighborhood of
81, 500. By the use Of cotton
sacks the money would b returned
back into the pockets of the cot
ton producer rather than to the
cooper. Those present mani es-
ted great interest in the meet
ing and good results will follow.

to the people of the state he could
not afford to make the statement
he does unless every word of it
was literally true and we believe
what Judge Whitfield has to say
about it. If in revising an ex-
listing law it does not contain all
the provisions it first had that
does not necessarily make it a
new law, but the commission
may have revised it so as to give
it greater or lesser force as the
case might be. The work of the

Criticism OF Code Commissioners

Since the distribution Of the
dummy codes to the members
of the legislature there has arts
en- considerable criticism Of the
commissioners on account Of
either a misunderstanding of the
commissioners as to the intention
of the legislature or a misconcep-
ton on the part of the public as
to what has been done by the
commissioners in regard to the code
to be adopted at the next
meeting Of the Legislature.
The act creating the COM
mission limited its work to clas-
styling, arranging and revising
the code Of 1892 and after an ex-
animation of the dummy" code
members Of the bar and press of
the state are charging that the
commission has exceeded the
authority granted them. In de-
fence of the commission Judge
Whitfield makes a lengthy and
fair explanation of the commiss-
ions works and declares that no
