GROWTH OF THE SYSTEM
Indian Interpreters Are Now Busy in
the Courts

The breaking up Of the tribal rela-
tions and the advent OF the Indian to
citizenship have led to his appearance
in the courts more often as a litigant
and has made the interpreter a more
frequent factor of court proceedings.
Several of the more adept interpre-
ters have now taken it up for profes-
sion and are in constant demand in the
courts Of this district and in adjoining
counties where the Nez Perce has busi-
ness dealings.
"The system has changed materially
in the last few years" said Star ]
Maxwell, who with his partner Silas D
Whitman are the most frequently em.
ployed in recent cases, Now two Of vi
are employed in all important cases
and on different sides SO the opposing
lawyers can keep check on the testi'
mony, and be sure the proper transla'
tion has been given. 1t was frequently
true that under the old system espe'
cially in the prosecution OF the whisk!
cases that the interpreter was not al
ways careful and allowed his prejudi
ces to warp the exact answers, but nov
the attorneys request a check by EN-
ploying a second interpreter In import
ant cases."

The building which is being erected
for the lewiston Charleston Ice COM
pany just below the bridge across the
river is fast nearing completion and
will be entirely ready for the installa- :
ton of the machinery which is now on
the road. Three cars of the machin-
cry is due at at any time now and two
cars will be shipped this week.
Mr. V. c. Sweet, n sfOckholder in
the company. has arrived here from
Syracuse. n. Y, accompanied by Mrs.
Sweet and they will take up their resi-
dence in Charleston. Mr.. Sweet will be
the engineer I'm charge of the plant and
will have the running of the same
| when completed.
| The plant when completed will have
a capacity of ten tons daily and will
be modern and up to date. Mr.. Sweet
states that the ice turned out will be
hygenic i'm every particular being con-
densed from steam and filtered into i
cooling tank from which ii is drawr
into cans through air tight pipes. He
states that the water is never exposed
to the air from the time il goes into tn,
boiler until it comes out in solid cake.
of ice when it will be as clear as glass
and absolutely pure.

building in this territory by either the
Northern Pacific or the .. r. & N.
The case is now up to the supreme
court and a decision is expected at any
time now.
The Q. r. & N. Co. has been handi-
capped in making Improvements in the
Clearwater country and the Snake
river valley owing to the binding truce
entered into between itself and the
Northern Pacific Ave years ago. This
truce has been n bad bargain for the
Q. r. g. N. Co. and has given the
Northern Pacific an advantage that has
been hard to overcome. 1t is evident
that should an equitable distribution
of the stock of the Northern Securities
be made that both roads will at once
begin to strengthen their territory and
will result in the building OF a net
work Of railroads throughout this en-
tire section of the country and the old
fight for territory viii be on again in
earnest. The rail lines will also be
compelled to protect their interests
| against the electric line projects
which are now springing up from every
point and some of which will be built
during the present year.
! The lines affecting this section as
proposed above is the branch from
Pomeroy to the Snake river thence tc
Charleston and the line from here to q
point along the Clearwater river to tht
Lolo pass and a spur into the Cana.
Prairie country. 1t is not possible tina
the o. r. 4 N. would wish to utilize
these routes but would in all probable
ity build it's Tines from Riparia and alst
one from Hgin, Ore, down the Grand'
Ronde. In reaching the Canas Prairie
1t would ALSO be more probable tina
the line UP Big Canyon at Peck woul'
be built amd it would appear on tn
surface that the filing Of the supple
mentary articles covering the line
mentioned was for, the purpose Q
strengthening the position OF the O.
l& N. Co. while building its lines as or
|iginally set out in former surveys.
