LUMBER BLOCKADE
Northern Pacific Adopts Arbi-
tPaPy Methods.

Tacoma, Wash, Sept. 4.-Lumber-
men are aroused over the arbitrary
action taken by the Northern Pacific
in shutting of all forest products
for a week from September / until
midnight, September 8. The order
to refuse shipments of forest pro-
ducts for eastern points for one week
is made in order to clear up aecumu-
lated loads that now cucumber nearly
every sidetrack from Portland to
Spokane.
These loads are estimated at 1000
to 1000 cars, the latter figures prob
ably being more nearly the correct
one. The Pacific division can han.
die more than It's share Of the traffic,
but the Idaho division extending
eastward from Ellensburg can handle
but $50 loads 3 dap. Figuring ON
that basis the Northern Pacific ex-
pects to clear its sidetracks Of loaded

BANK WRECKER CAUGHT

Tangier, Sept. 4.-The arrest of
Paul o. Stensland was due to States
Attorney Oleson, a telergam from his
son announcing an important remit
lance, and which was addressed to
Tangier, putting justice on the track.
Oleson, who was in Paris on a vaca-
ton, was at once instructed to fol-
low up the clew and arrest the fugi-
tive. On his arrival at Tangier he
was convinced that he was on the
right track, as Stensland had present
ed himself at several banks and tried
to get letters of credit for large sums.
1t is a strange coincidence that the
fugitive had assumed the name Of
Oleson and profiting by this fact, the
attorney presented himself at Stems
lands hotel representing himself as
his son, and learned that the later
had just left for Gibralter.
Olson was just in time to catch the
boat. Reaching Gibralter, he found
that Stenslnad had just started back
to Tangier on board German steam
er. Oieson Immediately chartered a
steamer and by travelling under full
steam arrived at Tangier before the
German steamer, which he boarded
on its arrival. He recognized the
fugitive and logged his steps until
$3.50, when Stensland went to the
British pOstofhce and requested that
all mail addressed to the name of
Oleson be forwarded to MogadoF.
As he was signing the request form,
Oleson interposed, saying: "'I am
olsson, sign your name, Stenslandl !"

Surveyors Are In the Field Near
Julietta

Lewiston, Idaho, Sept. A
large gang of Inland Empire survey
ors is camped on the west side Of the
Potlatch creek between Julietta and
Arrow. Indirectly from them it has
been learned that the electric road,
from Spokane to Lewiston, will prob
ably seek the Clearwater river by the
middle fork of the Potlatch. That
means that the road after leaving
Moscow, will run south to a point
somewhere between Joel and How.

Fork, follow its grade to Julietta and
from there follow the Potlatch to Ar
row. At Arrow the Clearwater river
is encountered. From that point the
road will run along the north bank
of that river to point opposite eth
er Lewiston or Charleston before cross.
ing the Clearwater.
If the Clearwater is crossed after
passing Lewiston, and below the
mouth Of the Snake river, which now
seems probable, it means two new
bridges for this city and Charleston
one across the Snake below where the
Clearwater empties into it, and an
other over the Snake into Lewiston
above the steel structure erected by
the Lewiston Charleston company.
At one time it was thought that the
Inland Empire would reach the
Clearwater by the Little Potlatch,
running though Genesse after leaving
Moscow, but it has been found with
in the past two weeks that the grade
will be too steep. There was also
some talk Of the electric line coming
south along the Hathawai creek, but
that grade, which would bring the
road out ON the Clearwater about six
miles above the city, has had to be
abandoned because of the grade from
the prairie into the canyon.

GANS=NELSON
PRIZE FIGHT
Cans Wins Fight After Dirty
Treatment

Arena, Goldfeld, New, Sept. a.
Battling Nelson deliberately fouIed
Joe Cans in the 42nd round of the
best and longest fight seen here in
many years.
Both men were tired when the fight
ended, but Cans was apparently the
stronger. He was away ahead ON
points, and had smashed and cut
Nelson all through the fght without
being badly hurt himself.
Shortly after the And round COM
menced the men we're in their usual
clinch. Nelson had his head on
Cans shoulder and his arm down.
Several times he hit Cans below the
belt, apparently feeling for the vital
spot. At last he drew back his right
arm and hit Cans a vicious blow
square in the groin.
The colored boy sank to his knees
and rolled over on his back. Referee
Siler without hesitation ordered Nell
son to his corner and awarded the
fight to Cans on foul. Siler's deci-
sion received almost unanimous APP
prevail. The foul was so obvious
that even the men who bet ON Nelson
could not say that it had not been
committed.
All throughout the long contest
Nelson had employed rough tactics.
He repeatedly butted Cans and had to
have his head hauled away by the ref
cree. Sller stated to the Associated
Press that while he would not say
that the foul was Intentional there
was no doubt but that it had been
committed.
Nelson, he said had used his usual
tactics all through the fight, and
while he knew that Nelson was but
ting whenever he had an opportunity
he did not disqualify him for that,
because he saw that it was not hurt
ing Cans, and as no other referee had
ever disqualified Nelson for doing
the same thing he did not feel like
doing so. Besides, the people were
there to see the fight and he did not
want to disappoint them.
Siler was loudly cheered as he left
the ring, as was Cans, who was car
ried to his dressing room. Nelson
and his seconds were Kissed as they
departed. Billy Nolan, Nelson's
manager, made disconnected state
ment in which he said that Cans had
promised not to claim the decision
on foul and yet he jumped at the
very first opportunity to make such a
claim. All Nelson would say was
that Cans was tired and quit.
Cans, in many ways, put up a
most remarkable battle. OF course,
his skill as boxer was expected to
be shown, but his endurance surpris-
ed everyone. His work was the more
wonderful when it is known that in
the 33rd round he broke his right
hand. Never after that did he strike

MORGAN BOLT
STIRS STANDPOINT
Opinions of Republicans and
Democrats

Standpoint, Sept. g.. Prominent
citizens OF this place have been inter
viewed on the political effect Of the
independent republican bolt with the
following results:
Charles Foss, prominent druggist
and deomocrat, said; "It means
the entire democratic ticket. The
conditions are such that most OF the
voters Of the county are against Heit-
man and they will do all they can to
beat him In the fall election.
o. L. Peavy, contractor and build
er and a republican, said: "I shall
support We'll and the republican tick
ct a. put up at the convention. I
cannot Say what the result will be. !"
Judge r. D. Morris: 81 don't re-
gard IL as q Morgan bolt. Judge
Morgan could not get his friends to
support the republican county ticket.
1 think 1000 republicans will vote
the democratic county ticket and that
is amply sufficient TO elect.
Fred J. Keller, merchant, a repub-
lican: ''The result will be- that the
republican ticket will not be elected
BY more than 900 votes in the coun-
ty, and there Is no doubt but that
the democratic Judge will be elected.
Dunn will lose shoshone county by
500 votes. ~
State Senator Herman II.
Taylor, q republican: ''In the first
place it is not MorRan's bolt 1t Is a
bolt Of ], 1000 or more good republi-
cans. The result will be that the
democrats will largely be successful.
This is not bolt of disgruntled
candidates, for the force of the bolt
has come from the voters and friends
of Judge Morgan who demand that
the republican county ticket be de-
feated as a rebuke to those who use
high handed methods in making nom
nations. ! think the result would
be the same II Judge Morgan and the
rest OF MS had announced no bolt
whatever, for the reason that the peo-
pie had already declared In large
numbers that they would not vote the
republican ticket although they were
republicans. / am not a soFehead
candidate and would not let my name
replace that Of Wells under any cir.
cumstances, as this is fght for
principle and not for office.
7. j. Stonestreet, dealer in poles,
democrat: 'Well think it means
success for the democratic party In
the county. feel satisfied 1t means
the carrying Of Standpoint for the
democrats on the county and state.
especially believe IL means the cleo
tion Of Judge McClear for state sena.

9 blow with it, with the exception of
few short arm joIts while cIinch-
ing. He did all his work with his
left hand and put it all over Nelson.
Cans generalship was shown when
he broke his hand. In the 33rd
round he landed hard right hand
punch on the side Of Nelson's face.
A bone is in the hand snapped, and
Cans stepped back with an expression
Of pain. He limped around as if he
had stepped on his foot or turned it,
and no one realized that he had bad
~ injured his right hand, although
it was suspected that it might have
been injured.
Cans stated after the fight that
Nelson intentionally fouled him.
He said he knew he could have fin
ished Nelson, as he was comparative
ly strong and Nelson was growing
weaker all the time.
Larry Sullivan announced for
Cans that he would meet Nelson in
two weeks in another fight, as he was
sure he could whip him and did not
want to take advantage of the foul.
It is hardly probable, however, that
the men will meet again in that time.
Cans explained his course of battle
by saying that he did not want to box
Nelson for fear of firing himself. He
found early in the game that he
could protect himself in the clinches,
and also realized that the exertion in
fighting that way was much less than
If he stood back and did some snowy
boxing. He was hitting Nelson all
the time and maneuvering so as to
make the Dane do most of the work
first.
The first Is rounds were very fast.
After that the men slowed, and
only at intervals was there a rally.
Although Cans was far ahead of Nell
son in points and most of the time
looked a sure winner, Nelson put up
a wonderful fight on his side.
CANS FIGHTS CLEAN BATTLE.
One time, when one of Cans
punches knocked Nelson through the
ropes, Cans picked him up and help
ed him to his feet. AS the colored
boy stood with his hands down wait
ing for Nelson to steady himself the
Battler gave him a vicious blow in
the stomach. He was roundly Kissed
for this by the crowd.
Cans was undoubtedly the favorite
with the people. His gentlemanly
behavior won the admiration of the
Goldfleld people, and they showed it.
Cans is hero in Goldfeld tonight.
The attendance was about 5000, al
though estimates were made as high
as $500. The Goldfeld Athletic
club arrangements were perfect.
There was not hitch of any kind
and the fight could be seen from any
part of the arena. About 200 women
were in attendance.

city and travelling statesmen in the
list Of preferred creditors under that
law. Under the present law these
statesmen have to take their chances
Of payment on goods sold along with
the ordinary creditors. As they are
not on the ground to look after
their interests this often works a
serious hardship on the statesmen.

A NEW BRIDGE OVER CHEAT

a speclal session OF county Court
met Monday of last week TO consider
several important matters. All the
members were present. Court adj
journed Wednesday and will con-
vene in regular session the second
Monday in July. The most i'm
portont business before them at this
time was a proposition by the Cad
dell Lumber Company, to build
first class iron bridge a cross Cheat
river at the old Fairfax ford for a
sum not to exceed SIS, 900 and give
the county ten years to pay for il,
at the rate of $1,000 per year with
out interest, in order that the Lum-
Der Company can &c; the use of the
bridge to transport their lumber
from the East Side to the NJ. & X.
railroad on this side of the river for
shipment. AS the proposition was
a good one for the county and the
best chance we will ever have to
build bridge at that point and one
has been needed thete for many
years, number of prominent citi-
zens went before the court and urged
the acceptance of the proposition
which the Court did by a vote of five
TO three. Those voting for it, were
Dixon, Manear, Crogan, Knots
and White while Knapp, Jenkins
and Ryan, voted against it. The
matter is now up to the Lumber
Company and the Bridge Co., to
make good. After the acceptance
of the proposition by the Court, the
Company sent an engineer to meas
ure and plot the river at the point
where it was proposed to build the
bridge, a little below the Fairfax
ford, with one pier on the small
island in the river below the ripples,
just below the ford and it was found
that the bridge would have to be
considerably longer than estim ated
and at least two and perhaps three
piers in the river, making three OF
four spans and costing about s., ooo
more than the estimate submitted
to the Court. The Company then
came back at the Court with an
amended proposition, wanting S5,-
900 more, but the Court very pro.
perly stood pat and declined to do
anything more in the matter at this
time and adjourned. The mistake
made by the Lumber and Bridge
Companies, was in not getting down
to business m the first place and
having an accurate survey and esti-
mate made so that they would know
exactly what they were doing, with
out any guess work about it. 1t is
said that the Lumber Company and
Bridge people are trying to get to.
gether on it and go ahead anyhow
with the bridge and we hope they
will do so. 1t is likely that the
matter will be up again at the mex,
