Lewiston Company Formed For
Half a Million.
10 BUILD Al IMMENSE RESERVOIR
IRRIGATION COMPANY IS PUSH
ING WORK AHEAD
RAPIDLY.

LEWISTON, Ida Nov. 23.-Yes-
terday the Idaho Trust company, OF
this city, filed at the county auditors
office a trust deed from the Lewiston
Land & Water company and the Lew
isaon-Sweetwater Irrigation company
as security for an issue of bonds in
the sum of $25O,O00. These bonds have
been sold to Portland bond house AMI
the bond holders in selecting the Ida
no Trust company to act as trustee
is a compliment to the latter in show
ing that a local concern has capacity
to handle trusteeship of such mag
nitude, whereas as a rule the trustee
snip is usually placed where the bonds
are held.
WITH the money secured by the
bonds, added to the $25O,O0O paid in
at the time of organization of the
land and irrigation companies, the
capitalization for the carrying out Of
the big project in irrigating the lands
acquired in the Lewiston valley has
reached a half million dollars.
President F. w. Kettenbach. Of the
Idaho Trust company, in response to
inquiries as to the bond sale and
trusteeship matter, said last evening:
"The larger investments now made
has resulted from disclosing by the
initial operations the larger POSSIBLE
ties of the enterprise and these feat
ures are now to be systematically car
ried out. Briefly stated, the money
secured from the lands will be de-
voted to expansions and additions to
the system. The reservoir construc-
ton work where Contractor Holmes has
the big steam shovel will be steadily
prosecuted. and the companies dur
ing the winter will devote their at
tention to the installation of the pipe
line and distributing system as well
as crowding forward all other details
of the big system"
H. L. Powers, manager Of the Lew
iston-Sweetwater company, returned
yesterday from the coast. Mr.. Powers
is personally directing the work Of
the companies and spends large
part of his time here.

GIRL NEARLY BLOWN TO DEATH


BAKER CITY, Or, Nov. 23.-Drop-
ping and breaking a quart bottle of
gasoline last night, Gertrude Pelter,
a domestic, at the home of Carl Dill
sheimer, lighted a candle to investi-
gate the catastrophe. AS a result,
the Dilsheimer home is in ruins and
the girl barely escaped with her life.
Teh explosion which followed the
lighting of the candle, enveloped the
girl and the kitchen in flames. The door
of the kitchen was locked as the girl
was alone in the house. In her fright,
she could not get the key to turn, and
was badly burned before she climbed
out of the window.
The new residence was completely
destroyed. The loss is $4,000. Some
furniture was saved by the neighbors
but priceless heirlooms were destroyed.

Mother Heartbroken While Son Calm
Iy Sits Through Trial.
SPOKANE, Nov. 23.-The first
strand in the network Of evidence
which the prosecution is weaving
around Sidney Sloane, the 18-year-
old boy accused of the brutal and
cold blooded murder of his father,
James F. Sloane, was spun yesterday
when the evidence of H. w. Hood Of
the Merchants police was given.
The finding of the body, the tracking
of the wheelbarrow, the bloodstains on
the back porch, the finding of the cot
ton stuffed in the keyholes of the room
of the murdered man, the discovery Of
bloodstains on the floor of the room
under the carpet laid to cover them
and the quick Arrest of Sidney Adams
were graphically described, and
through it all the youth whose life
probably hangs in the balance sat
calm and unmoved.
Bowed down with grief, his mother,
who sticks by the side Of her boy
through all, hid her face in her hands,
and when she finally raised her head
traces Of tears could be seen.
Calmly chewing on a toothpick, Sid
ney Sloane today appeared as nonchal-
ant and careless as ever and, in spite
Of the testimony given, sat calm and
unconcerned.

WHY A LOCK CANAL.
A Great Advantage in the Freedom Of
Lake Navigation.

The great advantage of the lock
canal over the sea-level project is
the freedom Of lake navigation in the
lock canal. The difference between
Senator Knox during his able argu-
ment on the subject at the last ses-.
sion of the senate by the exhibition of
a map drawn to a scale in which the
sea-level canal was superimposed on
the lock canal and the differences in
width were shown.
The objections to the lock canal as
projected are. first, that the Gatum
dam, which makes the Gatum lake,
being constructed of earth, are to be
placed on foundations that will rem
der them unstable; second, that the
locks to be erected, exceed anything
known in the size and weight Of ma
chinery, and that most serious ac-
cidents might occur which would
certainly stop the traffic of the canal
for days and months, and might go
to the extent of putting the canal out
of commission for years; third, that
the locks are an obstruction to nav
igation and would much delay the
steamers; fourth, that both the locks
and dams of the lock canals are pc
culiarly subject to disturbances and
destruction by earthquakes and fifth,
that the lock canal is much more east
ly put out of commission by an en-
envy in time of war, or by ma
licious person, through the use of dy-
Mantle or high explosives.

City Wants to be Recognized as

COUNCIL BLUFFS WON SUIT OF
SAME KIND AGAINST UNION
PACIFIC.

TACOMA, Nov. 23.-The Tacoma
chamber of commerce is going into
the courts to compel the Northern
Pacific railroad to recognize this city
as its Pacific coast terminus. A suit
with this contention as it's basis will
be filed by the chamber within one
week. Tacoma is designated in the
government land grants to the road.
President Jones of the chamber claims
as its western terminus, and it is to
secure its rights as such that the ac-
ton will be brought A direct train
service instead of the present stub
system between here and Auburn will
be secured if the city is recognized
as the terminal Attorneys mere
claim that the road has no right to
place the city designated as it's ter
minal on a stub line.
"Our action in this matter" said
President Jones Of the chamber claims
ed on opinions of some of the best
lawyers. We have not taken this step
because of any prejudice or i'll will
on the part Of Tacoma against the
Northern Pacific, but conditions have
arisen whereby the Northern Pacific
has been obliged to cater to the bust
ness interests Of other cities, and
having done so, it is difficult for II
voluntarily to change its plans"
