SURVEYORS WORK
OUT FROM PECK
Engineer Cobb Runs Line
Up South Bank Of
the Clearwater

rho nresence of Engineer Cobb and
nartv of railroad surveyors at Peck
.os renewed a discussion of the rail-
.oaa situation which occupied a great
..o, of attention in northern Idaho all
last winter.
i C. Peterson, editor. of the Peck
Gun was in the city this morning,
and he states that Engineer Cobb and
.ortv began work at the mouth of
Rig Canyon and are going up the
smith bank Of the Clearwater river
Inward Orofino.
May Tack on the Milwaukee.
at is the supposition among the
neople of Peck" said Mr.. Peterson,
athat these men will go up the Clear
water until they reach the point where
the Milwaukee quit last spring. either
for the purpose of joint road with
the Milwaukee or to hold the right Of
way and preventing the latter road
rom entering the lower Clearwater
valley"
When asked II the baggage of the
crew had on it the name of the o. r.
en-. Mr.. Peterson said he had heard
such a report, but could not confirm
Il
"The crew has a large amount Of
baggage and provisions. and this gives
the impression that the men are out
for work that will require several
months time.
Peck was established as an o. r.
4 N. town when the fight between the
Northern Pacific and the o. r. & N.
was on few years ago. At that time
the O. R. & N. announced its inten-
tion of building to the Camas Prairie
and the q. R. & N. purchased the
right Of way and a depot site at
Peck"
Cobb Was Here Last SKINNER.
Engineer Cobb was in Lewiston and
Charleston early this summer. when it
was the supposition that he was in
the employ Of the o. r. & N. COM
pany. The announcement that the
Northern Pacific refuses to permit the
.. X. & N. to store steel and timber
on the formers right Of way near
the Clearwater bridge now building
leads to the belief that the compact
ior joint traffic agreement in the
clearwater valley has been broken and
mat 1t is again war to the finish be-
tween the two railway systems for the
uamc OF the Clearwater country.

man, the millionaire chemist, who
died leaving an estate Of about $780,
5000, the case was called for hear
ing today before Judge Ashman in the
orphans court.
The fortune is left entirely to his
daughter, Mrs Anne Weightman-
Walker. Suit to set aside the will
was filed by Mrs. Jones Wister, who
was daughter law Of Mr.. Weight
man.
Mrs. Wister, on behalf Of her minor
daughter, Martha Weightman, claim
ed that weightman left a codicils to
his will amply providing for his
granddaughter and other heirs. Mrs
Walker denied that such codicil ex-
lists and says the will Just probated
waF her fathers last win and express
sion Of his desires in the matter.,..s,,
II the will is broken. Ave grand
daughters and grandson Of Weight
man will, be benefitted.
The first Witness called by the con-
testant was w. A.. Hopper. rs years
Of age. who was manager of the ac-
counts and credits for the firm of
Powers & Weightman. He was an
unwilling witness, but when threaten
ed with contempt of court he answer
ed questions as to what gifts he had
received from Mrs. Walker. He first
said he had received his salary up to
the time the firm had been taken over
by another company. He then ad-
mitted receiving $50 for each year he
had been with the firm. a total of
$3.50. and amitted a further gift Of
$4,000. and finally. after being threat
ened again with contempt. reluctantly
admitted having received from Mrs.
Walker 100000
This caused a sensation. Hopper
had been a witness to Weightman's
last will. August 1. 1905. He had
witnessed the signing. Of two other
papers prior to the signing Of the last
will. These he believed were a will
and codicil, but he was not sure.
On cross-examination Hopper ex-
pressed the belief that Weightman's
mental condition was perfect when the
| will was signed.
Edward T. Davis, Weightman's
private secretary, also witnessed the
1905 will. He also said Weightman's
mental condition was good.
Mrs. Walker was called and testi.
fed that her fathers first will was
executed In 1888. She understood Il
divided the estate equally between
herself and two brothers.
Later her father changed the win
leaving all to her. She expressed 8
disapproval of her fathers act. and
asked what she was to do with tn.
estate should she survive. him. To thi,
he replied DO as you please; I know
you love your neices and nephews."
The witness said Mrs. Wister ha,
attempted to injure her in the eyes o
her father.
The case was postponed on motiol
of Mrs. Wister's attorney. There
rumor of compromise. This, how
ever, is denied by Mrs. Walkers at
toreys.
Mrs. Wister and her attorneys dis
appeared Immediately with no ex
planation of a sudden change.

THINGS MOVING AT SOUTH BRITAIN

things seem to be on the move. The
saw mill formerly occupied by j. A.
Beard has been torn down. The grist
mill which he also owned and occupi-
ed, is being moved to the south and
will be locate just north Of john M.
SquireS' house. The machinery has
ali been moved and it is reported the
building is to be used for store house
The store Mr. Beard owned has been
moved on the lot across the road own
ed by the Hawkins Manufacturing Co.
and is to be converted into the upper
story to a house and everything now
points to the fact that in the near fu-
ture South Britain is to have an
other large factory, which will be To-
Gated where the grist and saw mill
stood. Just what is to be manufac.
tured in the new factory seems to be
a mystery, but it now looks as if our
little village was yet to become quite
manufacturing center and we trust
a very prosperous and progressive vii
lage.

SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION.

The question is being agitated to
some extent in regard to the CONSOLE
dation of East and West Iron Works
schools into one district, and to sutfi-
GENTLY enlarge the schoolhouse in
West Iron Works to accommodate the
pupils from both schools. The mum
bers that have attended both schools
for the last two years would not make
larger school than that of the Center
district last year. The question is
generally favorably accepted, and it S
hoped for the benefit Of the taxpayers,
as well as for the interest of the two
schools, it may be brought about. If
so it must be brought before the an
