ence of the warm water over an area of several acres. The spring is surrounded by a beautiful grass country. Timber near the spring is mostly dry. fire having swept the country some years ago. It is big enough for saw logs. There is green saw timber along the river. Crawling were abundant, but no trout were seen.
 Caribou and moose tracks were there in plenty, but no big game was sighted. Plenty of young geese and ducks were taken, and two young lynxes were captured and have been added to Dr. Hudgin's s geological collection, which was depleted by wholesale desertion during his absence up Ray river last spring.
 The trip was made because Dr. Hudgln desired to pass judgment on the vicinity of the spring as a site for farm. It looks good to him, and he has staked home stead there, Supplies will be sled ded in after snow flies.

Big Minook Manager
 To Winter in the East

$. P. Robbins arrived in Rampant from the east last week and will be in charge of the Big Minook hy- draulic works during the absence of Manager M. E. Koonce, who will spend the winter with his family in Pennsylvania.
 Common report is that the big plant has not run very successfully during the short time since its in- stallalion. Frequent shutdowns and Interruptions, caused by incompe- tent overseeing ill setting up the plant, have reduced the amount of work to a minimum. Some misun- derstanding which left the company without competent engineer at a critical period thus resulted i'll the loss of valuable time, where the season is short at best.
 Meantime enough has been ac- complished to disclose much better pay than had been expected, and it is predicted that the past bother will be rendered insignificant by the results which will be had when the big concern gets properly down to business.

Prospect for Gold.

The members of the party are enthusiastic over the fine appear ance of the country as gold bearing section. The formation is mica schist and white wash is plentiful. Colors were found in every instance where banning was done.
 MT. Anderson proposes to pros pect there this winter. He will soon boat his winter outfit to the mouth of the canyon, where it will be cached and sledded to the spring after snow falls. Meantime he will build a cabin at the spring and make that his headquarters camp Olson and Green, two prospectors who worked on Beaver last winter, are boating l winter outfit to the forks. It is probable they will prospect on the righthand fork next winter. They were up that fork eight miles this summer.
 The Ray River country embraces a large territory that has never been touched by prospector's pick, and it is an inviting field in which to take long shot at fortune.
 While prehistoric remains may not be taken as an indication of gold, it is a noteworthy fact that bores Cl mastodous and other ex- tinct beasts are often found in the paying creeks; and specimens of this nature were secured near the spring A large shoulder blade was brought in and is now in front of the pcstothcc. and a molar of about seven pounds weight is on exhibition at tue Reception bar.

Hoosier Hydraulics
 May Be Increased

A proposition is being considered to increase the working strength of the Hoosier hydraulic company by the addition of about SIo, ,ooo worth of material, including generous supply of pipe and other things essential to the efficient and eco nomical operation of the company's works. The people at interest have not fully decided on the step, but it is not unlikely that they will do SO soon, in order that the improve men,s may be of use next summer.
 IL is understood that the compa. ny's property has shown up well enough to fully justify the increased outlay.

Money Orders
 Not 0btainabIe

Money orders can not be obtained at Rampant because the office is not supplied with the necessary blanks. This condition is likely to prevail for two weeks.
 The blame rests on the postofhce department. The postmaster sent in a acquisition for blanks, and when the consignment arrived the numbers on former lot were found to have been duplicated and the new blanks thus rendered non usable.

Last Thursday night Dr. J. H. Hudgin, Capt. A. D. Williams and Clement Anderson returned from a trip to the Ray River hot spring, which was undertaken July I7. The trip was highly successful and satisfactory ill every particular.
 It is believed that this spring was never visited by white man till shortly before the disappearance of the snow last spring, when MT. Anderson reached the place and confirmed the stories of natives as to the existence of the spring and the characteristics of the surround ings. A previous expedition over the snow failed on account of in- sufficient knowledge of the country, and a later one which tried to ascend Ray river in polling boats was baffed by the rapids encoun- tered in the canyon.
 Or the latest and successful trip light canvas boat was taken along and it and the supplies were port aged around the canyon and thence conveyed tbe balance of the way by water without difficulty.
 The distance from Rampant to the mouth of Ray river is 55 miles; to the canyon 45 or 50 miles; tue canyon is a mile and half long, and from the upper end of the canyon to the spring is about ten making the distance to the spring via Yukon and Ray rivers between no and IJ7 miles. The spring is a little west of north from Rampant.
 Two creeks on the right limit and one creek and big fork on the left limit come into Ray river below the canyon. The fork is about thirty miles from the mouth Two creeks come in mile and hall mile re- spectively below the spring, one on either side of tue river, and one comes in on the left limit eight miles above the spring. Nothing was encountered to indicate that white men had ever been above the canyon.
 The water of the spring is hot almost to the boiling point. An egg left in 1t eight minutes was cooked on the outside but raw in the middle lt is highly mineral ized. sulphur being very evident. The water boils up through a bar of eleau gravel and runs oif in safii' eieut quantity for a sluicehsad o' two. Vegetation shows ths intlu.

WAS BOLD THEFT
Trunk is Stolen From Great Western
Platform Early Monday Evening -
Police Raid Railroad Yards and
Many Arrests Follow.

Following the daring attempted bur-
glaries Of Saturday night, another
theft, even more daring than the 9TH
ers, was successfully carried out Mon
day night, when large trunk was
stolen from the Great Western station
platform, carried half mile away and
broken open. How much Of its con-
tents was stolen is not known, but
when found this morning clothing and
books, which it contained, were scat
tered about the ground.
The trunk was taken about o'clock.
1t had been transferred from the
Northwestern, and was the property of
r. w. Clyde, Of Usage. 1t was left on
the platform and when a search was
made for it, so that it might be check
ed, it could not be found. Mr.. Clyde
had secured check earlier in the
evening. Following the finding of the
trunk, east of the Marshall Canning
Companys factory, early this morning,
detail of police secured the east end
of town and the railroad yards to
round up all suspicious characters. Six
arrests were made, but none tally with
the description the police have of the
two men supposed to have made away
with the trunk. Two men, the one tall
and wearing long coat and gray hat,
and his companion of shorter and
stouter build, were seen carrying a
trunk east along the Great Western
tracks about 8 o'clock.
Later in the day Officers Breckel and
Haas made two other arrests in the
Northwestern yards.

EAST STATE STREET SEWER.

Conditions Action at Next Regu-
lar Meeting.
Councilman Mcdonald, of the First
ward, brought before the council Mon
day night the question of building
sewer on East State street, begin
ming at Fifth avenue, and running east
to point where it empties into the
city's twenty-four inch sewer. Mr..
Mcdonald told of the urgent need OF
the sewer and described the sanitary
conditions In the eastern part of town
where the people have no facilities for
getting rid of sewage. Mr.. Mcdonald
said that many cellars were filled with
water, and in many instances 1t is be-
lieved that sickness was clearly trace
able to the lack of the sewer. A pc
tition for the sewer was presented,
signed by large number Of property
owners and with it was an agreement.
also signed by several, stating that
they would make connections with the
sewer as soon as it was built. The
sewer, as shown by the profile pre-
pared by Superintendent Of Mains
Mack, will be 1880 feet long. Its esti-
mated cost is $1,31535.
Mr.. Mcdonald presented resolution
authorizing the committee to build the
sewer. Mr.. Webster thought that as
long as other sewer petitions would be
filed with the council it would be adj
visable for the committee to get to-
gether and see which ones are worst
needed. Mr.. Webster moved to post
pone action on the State street sewer
until the next regular meeting.
Mr.. Iseman presented petition
signed by seven property owners liv-
ing on Boone street between Fourth
and Fifth. Five of the seven have al
ready agreed to connect with the sew
err II built. This was referred to the
sewer committee.

Both Judge Caswell and Judge
Burnham Find For the
Appellants
ASSESSMENTS SET ASIDE
In the Brown Case Judge casweII De-
clares Assessment Not Only Irregu-
lar But Absolutely Invalid = Judge
Burnham Does Not Think City Has
Exceeded Indebtedness Limit.

In the district court this afternoon
Judge Caswell and Judge Burnham
gave their decisions in the Brown and
Calhoun paving cases, finding for the
appellants in both cases. The conclu-
sions of both judges are substantially
the same, as regards the character of
the pavement, both declaring that the
specifications have not been complied
with. Each judge sets aside the as
sessments and taxes the costs to the
city.
In the Brown case, after lengthy
presentation of the various phases of
the case, Judge Caswell concluded that
the assessment was not only irregular,
but absolutely invalid, and made an
entry to the effect that the finding was
for the appellant, I. Brown; the as
sessment as made by the appellee city
is found by the court to be both incor-
rect and invalid, and is set aside, and
no other assessment made. The costs
are taxed to the appellee. To the rul-
ing the appellee entered an exception.
Indebtedness Not Exceeded.
In the Calhoun case Judge Burnham
touched upon one point that Judge
Caswell did not enter into, that of the
constitutional indebtedness Of the city.
Judge Burnham holds in this case, the
same as he did in similar action in
Benton county, to the effect that spec
ial assessments are not to be treated
as indebtedness. He therefore declares
that the city has not exceeded it's con-
stitutional limit. A decision, from the
supreme court, is expected soon in the
Benton county case.
After going over the case at length,
and touching upon the evidence that
went to show that the contract had
not been fulfilled, Judge Burnham an
nounced his finding to be for the ap-
pellant and that the special assess
ment be set aside. The appellant is
relieved from making payments on the
certificates, and the costs are taxed
to the city. AS in the other case the
appellee excerpts.
