HISTORIC CABIN FOR FUEL
First Structure in Wardner Is Sacri
feed to Emergency

That the fuel famine has reached
an acute stage at Wardner is evidenc-
ed when E. Bolger, proprietor of the
Spokane hotel, set men at work to tear
down the oldest Landmark in Ward
ner, the first cabin ever erected in
Milo gulch, Immediately after the dis.
covery of the famous Bunker Hill
and Sullivan mine. The logs will be
cut up and used for fuel at the hotel.
The cabin was built in the fall of
1885 by Jack Smith, John King and
John Flaherty, all among the very
first of the prospectors to reach the
field. The house was used for dwell
ing for nearly 20 years and as a wood
house of late. The logs are we'll
preserved, hard and dry, and will
make excellent frewood. Many in
teresting stories are connected with
the gatherings held in the old cabin in
the early days and many men now
prominent in mining circles and others
long since dead congregated there dur
ing the winter days of the first rush
to the new galena belt of the Occur
d'Alenes. The cabin was built a
sh1rt distance down the gulch from
the discovery point of the Bunker Hill
mine. Mr.. Bolger has owned the
building for years and has been care
full of it because of the past history
connected with it as the first cabin in
the city of Wardner.

FUEL AND ROADS TOGETHER

In the interstate commerce hearing
at Denver J. A. Reider, auditor Of the

WILL MOVE HOSE HOUSE NO. |
Removal is Supposed to Result in the
Repair Of Coppock Sidewalk.

At the meeting of the city council
Monday evening the marshal was
ordered to move the hose house of
Company No. of the city fire depart
ment.
at present the hose house is situated
at the corner of Fourth and Adams
streets on a lot owned by Robert Cop
pock. For long time the sidewalk
along two sides of the lot has been in
a dilapidated condition, and while
notified as to its condition by the
marshal, Mr.. Coppock has refused to
repair it, being under the impression
that if the city used the premises for
the hose house, the municipality
should repair the walks. The fire de-
partment building occupies space on
the lot 8xl0 feet in dimensions and
the city officials evidently think the
cost of constructing a new walk is too
much rent for the ground, hence the
little house will be moved and Mr..
Coppock will then be without an ex-
cuse for not repairing his walks and
also for not paying his street improve
ment assessment into the city treasury.
The hose house will be moved across
the sidewalk to the edge of the street.
its new location being between the
bell tower and the hose dryer rack.

place in the second ward and the
prisoner arrested by one was taken
from the deputy sheriff aud placed in
Squires g. Gaddis' Office in the Flat

the law enforcement ticket on the
ground he is not resident of the
state, county or precinct. Buckley

M. Palmerton, special deputy sheriff,
stepped forward and attempted to
place him under arrest. Cash Gaddis
rushed forward, threw Buckley's coat
open and displayed numerous tin stars
sewed on Buckley's coat and ordered
Buckley to arrest the deputy sheriff.
Palmerton called on unmber OF

The sheriff was notified and offered
to close his office and bring the entire
force to Pullman il necessary to pre-

was urged at first, but after consulta'
tion it was decided by law enforce

feeling is bitter. The law enforce

Nelson Tells of Two Crous
Growing in One Field
WHEAT CUT OVER TOP OF FLAX
Another Instance of Phenomenal Pro-

Wheat sown Together.

Before leaving for his home in AL
berta Wednesday morning, James

yet told of the resourceful production

Standing on street corner, Mr..
Nelson was surrounded by crowd of
credulous and incredulous listeners.

claimed:
"Why, men, Alberta has Oregon

crowd to field in Alberta on which
there is now growing as fine crop
of winter wheat as ever grew out of

produced a % bushel crop of spring
grain this year. Fact, and /, don't,

was doing it l waded around in the
growing winter wheat, which was
then eight inches high. Spring and
fall wheat sown at the same time,
see?
"You Oregon fellows can't com
mence to beat this one either: A
neighbor of mine seeded spring wheat
and fax together in the same field.
The wheat ripened and was cut with
binder, the sickle nipping the wheat
off just above the fax CROP BY the
time Mr.. Neigh Dor had the wheat
bundles in the stack the fax was
ready to harvest, and he turned in and
out it. In another week a double
decked separator was threshing his
crop, wheat coming out one end of
the machine and flax out of the other

stock of the Utah Fuel company, he
said, is held by the Rio Grande West

Three witnesses were called to show
that coal land had teen secured by the

witnesses fled ON coal land with the
understanding they could sell it when
