Big Acreage Planted.

A. F. Parker returned Tuesday
from an extended trip over the
prairie and Craig's mountain
country with land buyers, and re-
port that he has never known SO
much new ground to be broken as
is now being done all over the
prairie. Plows are running every
where. The winter wheat has
made an almost visible growth in
the past two weeks, and all the
indica tions favor the harvesting OF
another of those bumper crops for
which Camas Prairie is justly IA
nous. Actual construction work
upon the railroads has infused new
life among all, and with the assur-
ance that the railroad will be built
in time to remove this years crop,
all hands are feeling their oats and
jubilating over the good prospects
ahead for good old Camas Prairie.

The past week has developed

railroad situation and conservative
estimates now predict the compile

Culdesac to Grangeville not later
than December Of this year. Many
believe it will be here by early fall,
hut at any rate the way supplies
are being rushed to the front there
is going to be no time lost.
The town OF Culdesac Is crowded
with railroad people and more are
coming every day. Several camps
have been established, and horses,
machinery and powder are arriv-
ing. On the first 10 miles Of road
out Of Culdesac there will be 5000
feet Of tunnel work and on this
section it is said camps will be
established every two miles. The

CHEMICAL ENGINE.
Volunteer Firemen Will Have
Fire Fighting Apparatus.


The volunteer fire department
of this city last week placed an
order for q new o. Il B double
cylinder chemical fire engine.
Each cylinder has capacity of 45
gallons and either one can be re-
filled while the other is in use SO
that the machine can be kept in
continuous effective operation.
The preparation used in chemi-
cal engines is many times as power
full as water as a fire extinguisher
aud is especially effective where
the fire is still confined to the in.
terror of building. The depart
ment has sufficient funds on hand
to pay for more than half of th'
purchase price and they secured
favorable terms on the balance
The engine was purchased
through the Northwestern Fire Ap
paratus Co., OF Spokane, but will
have to come from the east and i
will probably be GO days before i
reaches here.

WETTER MUST HANG
Date of Execution Fixed for
April 20.

Rudolph Wetter, convicted OF
the murder OF Long and VAIN
near Resort, and once before SEN
fenced to death, was brought here
Friday from Boise and at noon
Saturday was again taken before
Judge Steele and sentenced to
hang ON April 20. The prisoner
listened with stolid indifference to
the sentence and was apparently
but little concerned. On Sunday
he sent for Reverends Vickers and
Knox and professed religion, saying
he had made peace with his God,
and expressed belief that by
paying the penalty of his crime on
this earth his soul would be saved
in the next.
Wetter was brought here from
Boise by Sheriff Green and Deputy
Sheriff Lane of Ada county, and
under ordinary circumstances
would have been returned at once
AS it was, Rube Robbins, travelling
guard for the peniteniary, could
not reach here until Tuesday but
left Immediately on their return
journey.
Il Wetter talked freely with those
who visited him and said that hi
cell at Boise was adjoining the ont
occupied by Orchard who is beini
held there for the murder OF Ex
Governor Steunenberg.

NO CLUE TO THE PERPETRATORS

About nine o'clock Monday
night the store and postoffice at
Green Creek was entered by two
masked men who Immediately
covered those present with their
revolvers and demanded what
money there was in the building.
When the robbers first entered
the store they were thought to be
members of a serenading party
that had been out in the neighbor-
hood aud at the command OF
"hands up" Father Campbell, q
Catholic priest, failed to obey and
a shot was fired, narrowly missing
him, which convinced those pres
ent that the masked men were very
much in earnest. All bystanders
were lined up against the wall
while the robbers searched fol
booty, getting about $40 from Ed
Drees, the proprietor, and about
sl5 from the others, besides all ol
the money belonging to the post
Office, the amount not being known
When the robbers left the store
they warned their victims to re
