a good chance to win out at the

incorrect returns were sent in to

Joseph Smith general right Of
way agent for the Northern
Pacific railroad, arrived ii the
city Saturday and remained un-
til yesterday morning. While
here he closed up the final right
of way deeds at this place and at
Ferdinand and also secured the
passage Of two ordinances by The
local city council granting the
company the right to operate i
line through this town and also
closing up some Of the streets
and alleys across which the road
passes. While here Mr.. Smith
informed the CHRONICLE man
that from the present outlook
the road would be running into
this place by the first Of next
September. He said most Of the
heavy work was now completed
and with the exception Of two
small contracts all the work
has been completed from Guide
sac to the top Of tho hill, this be-
ing the heaviest part Of the road
to be built. There are at present
1900 men at work along the line
and 200 more have been hired
and will be strung along the
line from this place to Kippen.
Before leaving Mr.. Smith said
he had completed his work on
the prairie this trip and did not
expect to visit US again until the
trains were running over the
new line.

Insane WOman's Sad Awakening.


The following item from the
Cotton Newsletter will interest
many of our readers who were
acquainted with the afflicted wo-
man and her innocent victims:
Mrs. Rosa Wurzer, who will
be remembered as the central
figure in a startling tragedy a
few years ago, has returned to
Uniontown from the Medical
Lake insane asylum. Four years
ago she killed her six children
by throwing them into a well
at night and holding them in the
shallow water until they were
drowned. Her husband died a
year before the tragedy. Some
time ago the authorities of the
insane asylum declared her cured
of her attack of insanity and
relatives in Austria furnished
the means to take her to her
former home in that country.
On arriving there she was plac-
ed in a sanitarium and disappear
ed from there one morning turn
ing up in Uniontown this week.
It is believed she saved enough
from the allowance made by
relatives to pay her way to this
country. She was looking for
her children and would not be-
lieve they were dead until shown
their graves in the cemetery.
When she was taken to the asy-
lum she had a good house well
furnished. The court appointed

Electric Road Will Be Built.

AT few times in her history
has Lewiston received such inn
portant news as is brought back
by E. D. Thomas, vice president
of the Commercial Trust Co.,
who returned yesterday from a
trip to New York.
Mr.. Thomas stated that he had
nothing for publication, but up
on being pressed said:
''The building of the electric
line is an assured fact. Arrange
ments have been made for the
purchase Of all supplies and the
contracting engineers will be on
the ground in the very near
future. Active construction will
be under way in go or 80 days
and will be rushed as fast as
weather will permit.
"The people have been a little
bit impatient waiting for definite
action. They will have to wait
but little longer. The people
who are buying the bonds are
putting Sc, 900, 600 into this pro-
ject. The Lewiston people
should remember that such in
vestments are not made hurried
ly, and that only after the most
minute verifcatioa Of our
figures will we actually have
everything under way. We
have now such definite assurance,
however, that every report is
favorable that we as sure as it is
possible to be that the work will
go ahead at once.
THE building of the road is
assured beyond any question of
doubt. Lewiston Teller.

the market than Red Russian
wheat. The differences are like
ly to be so per cent or more.
Several times it has happened
that there is greater or less
differential in favor Of wheat.
To be able to take advantage
Of this in the vast quantity of
feed consumed by work horses
would be doubly profitable.
First, there would be a great
saving in the cost of feed. Sec
ond, there would be a better
market for wheat. A pound of
wheat a little lighter than the
test has practically the same
feeding value as if of full test.
Besides, it was shown in the steer
feeding experiment last winter.
that wheat which had been wet
to the point of sprouting, when
dried gave practically the same
feeding value as when uniniur-
ed.
The more the use of wheat at
home can be extended the greater
the economy in sacks, freight,
etc. It is now an accepted rule
that five pounds of ground wheat
will, under favorable conditions,
make one pound of pork and also
that wheat can be used proftably
in finishing beef cattle. It is
fairly probable that the vast
number of work horses on the
farm, in the towns and cities and
on the many construction lines
for railways and irrigation enter
prises can use wheat as the
and the largest part
of the ration. To get exact data
on this point and thus promote
the interests of both consumer
and producer, is the object of
the projected exeriment at Pull
man. The results of the expert
ment will be made public later.

Feeding Wheat
To Horses
Agricultural College at Pullman Believes
Wheat Can be Fed 10 Horses as well
as TO Cattle and Hogs.

The director of the state
agricultural experiment station at
Pullman has under consideration
an experiment in the feeding of
wheat to work horses. Feeding
experiments conducted there for
the past ten years have shown in
the case of cattle and hogs that
wheat as a feed yields the best
results of any of the cereals.
A chemical analysis Of wheat
shows very high percentage Of
nutritive value. The world has
been drifting to wheat as the
great bread food for man, even
the most immovable of the older
nations gradually discarding
rye and barley as bread foods for
wheat.
Oats and barley have in the
Pacific northwest been the tradi-
tional and favorite feed for hors-
es. Wheat has been used some
what, both alone and in mixture,
but there is a popular fear of
founder from it, and an idea that
it is too heating" a.food. The
quantity of any food used is so
perfectly under the control of
the feeder that it may we'll be
doubted if this objection is very
serious. Difficulties of mastica-
ton and digestion, if any exist,
are also easily controlled by feed
mixtures. In the case Of hog and
cattle feeding such uniform and
such good results are gained that
it would seem unlikely that hors-
es would be peculiar in this re-
spect. Custom and prejudice go
so much farther than rational
action based on scientific data in
such matters, that it is we'll
worth while to determine the
facts in this case. Just now oats
are worth 80 per cent more on

Albert Faller was sentenced to
4 years in the penitentiary at
Lewiston Tuesday for the theft
of a horse. Faller has gained
considerable noteriety because of
the squabble over the estate of
his foster father who was ac-
cidentally killed near Juliaetta
about a year ago.
Clarence Robnett, Of Lewiston,
who was tried this week at Mos
COW in the federal court in con-
nection with timber land cases,
was found guilty of subornation
of perjury on one charge and not
guilty on the other. The case of
VIM. Dwyer, of Charleston, is
now on trial and will probably
be decided this week.
During the fierce gale at
Genesee last week the entire
front of the new opera house
was blown out and landed in a
heap on the sidewalk. Luckily
no one was passing at the time.
The large number of electric
light wires anchored to the front
of the building is said to be re-
sponsible for the accident.
A bomb consisting of copper
tube about seven inches long
and an inch and a half in di-
ameter, with a percussion cap
in one end, was found lying near
the gate of Chas. Little at Wood
side last week. The bomb was
placed in such a way as to be
liable to be run over by Mr..
Little when he came home with
his rig from carrying the mail
and its finding has caused no
little excitement in that section. !
In a drunken brawl on Thurs
day of last week near Spalding
Henry Carssow was stabbed

drink and later a quarrel occurr-
ed in which several were wound
ed but none so severely as Cars
sow. The squaw is a noted
gambler and is said to have been
furnishing liquor to the Indians
for some time. After the cut
ting she left with another Indian
and could not be located until

At recent special meeting of
the village board a proposition
was submitted by w. L. Farms
worth, P. E. Dean and others
asking for the granting of a
franchise to install water sys-
tenn here. After considering
the application the board made
known what kind of franchise
it would be willing to grant and
the matter now rests in the
hands of the persons wishing to
put in the system. Mr.. Farms
worth says he expects to hear
from the proposition in a few
days and if they decide to take
the matter up a franchise will be
secured at once and as soon as
the machinery can be got here
work on a we'll will be started,
probably in the draw in Fair
view addition, and a standpipe
will be erected on the hill in that
addition. If they go through
with the proposition a system
sufficient to supply the entire
town will be installed and every
thing will be fixed up in first
class shape. It is to be hoped
they decide to take the. matter
