"A LARGE TIMBER SALE

Eighteen million feet of timber
have been purchased by the Day
Luellwitz Lumber company from
Robert Miller. The timber covers
1000 acres of land on the shores of
and adjacent to Fish lake, three
miles north of Rathdrum. An ideal
millsite and mill house go with the
purchase and the lumber company
will erect a new saw mill with ca
pacity of about $4,000 feet day.
The price paid for the timber was
about $50, 900. The land still re-
mains in the possession of Mr.. Mil
Ter.
Work will be started at once by the
y-Luellwitz company on the build
ing of spur from the millsite to the
Northern Pacific tracks, distance of
about a mile Mr.. Miller has taken
contract for logging all of the tim
Der to the mill, Fish lake being used
to float the logs. Most of the timber
is yellow pine, but there is sprink-
ling of white pine, fir, tamerack and
cedar among it.
Robert Miller is pioneer of the
lumber industry in the northwest,
and his career has been attended by a
series of disasters. More than &c
years ago he bought tract OF timber
near Spokane, where he built large
mill. This was burned, and later
he bought tract near Sheep creek al
Northport, Wash, where he built an
other mill. This was also burned
the two losses aggregating fully $50,
900.
Four years ago Mr. Miller bought
the timber tract at Fish lake but mis-
fortune still followed him and las
year the mill burned, entailing los
of $50, 900. There was no Insurance.
ON either of the last mills which
burned. Mr.. Miller has given III
the lumber business permanently.

ARE AGAINST SPOKANE
Coast Cities Oppose Freight
Reductions,

Tacoma, Wash, Sept. 18.-Ralph
Hoitt, head of the traffic bureau of
the chamber of commerce, has under
taken an Investigation of the COM
plant on railroad rates that Sp okane
has made to the interstate commerce
commission. If he finds that the
new rate asked for would be injurious
to Tacoma and the Sound cities, as
now seems probable. the chamber of
commerce may ask Portland and Seat
tie to assist in combating the Spokane
claim before the commission.
Portland is most vitality affected by
the Spokane demands. Were the re-
quest to be granted by the commits
sion, Spokane would dominate the
East Side trade to the exclusion Of
the Coast cities and Portland. Sc
the jobbing interests of the Sound
and the Columbia river may make
common cause against Spokane.

by the railroads to be in effect next
week for the benefit of the Pacific
Northwest convention of commercial
clubs held during the Spokane Inter
state fair. The convention will be
held Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept.
%, and 20, and the fair opens Sept.
"a, continuing until Oct. 9. Never
before have the railroads granted q
rate for the Spokane Interstate fair
for 50 wide a territory. This half
fare rate-one fare for the round trip
applies from all points In Wash
ington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana.
Some Of the roads have not specifl-
ed what day this will be good, but ii
is certain 1t will enable the visitors
to reach the fair on the first day, and
to give them ample time to see every.
thing there lie to be seen at this Spo-
kane exposition, and to attend to all
the meetings Of the convention.
The Northern Pacific will sell next

Moscow, Idaho, Sept. II. Sheriff
Sutherland and Steve Adams were
here today from II 80 until 2 p. m.
1t was the only topic Of conversation.
All the history of the past about
"dynamiters' down to the Steunen-
berg murder has been rehashed.
There we're excited and interested
groups on every street corner. The
party making the overland trip that
will be historical in the annals Of
criminal life, arrived in Moscow
from Lewiston at 1905, 30 minutes
late. When the train stopped at the
water tank the party stepped off, be-
ing met by Sheriff w! S. Robbins
aud Deputy Grant Robbins Of Latah
county. There was no crowd, as
there was no notice. AS the officer
and the famous prisoner hurried into
cabs they drove to the Hotel Moscow.
They ordered dinner and ate with
out incident.
Sheriff Sutherland was recognized
but he refused an interview. The
Sutherland party from Lewiston u
Moscow was composed of Sheriff An
gus Sutherland OF Shoshone county,
Warden E. L. Whitney of the state
penitentiary, Boise, Idaho; Deputy
Warden E. p. johnson, L. Stannus

REACHES
WALLACE TODAY
Long and Exciting Overland Trip
Ends

Tekoa, Wash, Sept 1s.-Steve
Adams, wanted in Wallace, Idaho, on
the charge of killing man named
Tyler, also an important witness for
the prosecution in the Steunenberg
murder case, will reach Wallace
shortly afternoon today unless some
thing unforeseen occurs during the
night to upset the we'll laid plans of
Sheriff Angus Sutherland of Shoshone
county, who has the man in custody.
They have been travelling as fast as
horsefesh can carry them, overland
from Moscow, Idaho, to point east
of here where they can rest before
driving to Lowell, where a train is to
be taken to Wallace.
TWO DEPUTIES N-WAIT.
There was an impression that Suth-
erland would attempt to take the o.
R. & N. train at Colfax and hasten
into Wallace. At that town two dep
uty sheriffs are carefully watching
every northbound train in hopes OF
catching the sheriff. At Garfield two
other deputy sheriffs have searched
each train Spokane bound in hopes
of finding Sutherland. Even here
the depot is patrolled by officers o.
the law, abetted by attorneys employ
ed by friends of Adams in hopes
Sutherland would come this way, but
the sheriff has fooled them all. HI
has so far kept within the Idaho stat
line by using wagons across the coun
try and relying upon railroads only
as far as they ran in Idaho.
In the meantime Sheriff Suther
land and his deputy had bundled
Adams into a two seated rig at Mos
COW. A man who knows every mil
of the road from Moscow to Lowell
drove the vehicle. There was littl
delay at Moscow, and before / o'clocI
the sheriff and prisoner we're ridinI
overland to an Idaho station on tn
o. r. Il Y. which would take then
| into Wallace.
ROUTE TAKEN.
Sutherland skirted Palouse on hi
left en- route to Princeton. Then h
turned toward Pennington, which j
near the state line, and then switche
off into what is known as the Hoo
doc country. - That was necessary
as the roads in the vicinity Of Farm
ington cross the state line. Tonigh
Sutherland will probably sleep at Sci
tice, between Pennington and thi
place. From there it is but fe
hours drive to Lowell, where a trai
can be caught about 1890 O'elOe
tomorrow morning into Wallace.

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, May 13.-Politi-
cal circles in this county are becoming
active and candidates are rapidly be-
ginning to line up for the fall campaign
which will soon be on in earnest. The
announcement of the week that has
perhaps aroused the greatest interest
came from Republican quarters in
avowed support on the part of the Red
lands Review, the principal Republican
paper of that city, for the denomination
of Judge B. f. Bledsoe for superior
judge.
Judge Bledsoe is the only Democratic
office holder in this county, but in the
term that he has served the people he
has become a tower of strength by his
decisions, which are recognized the
state over as models. The Review adj
vocates that the Republican convention
make no nomination against Judge
Bledsoe, but that he be endorsed. The
sentiment has been echoed in several
parts of the county and it is more than
probable he will have no opposition,
though c. c. Haskell and Henry Good
cell of this city are both after the Re-
publican nomination.
The coming campaign for county Of
ficerS will be lively one. The Demo-
Gratis, while they realize that the county
has a heavy Republican majority, ex-
peCI 10 make all eXcellellL showing anu
to elect a portion of their ticket.
Hold Drug Fiend
Ike Goldas, a cripple drug fiend,
whose home is said to be in Los An
geles, is in the county Jail here until the
officers can make up their minds what
to do with the creature. He has been
living in caves about the outskirts of
the city for some months and has be-
come nuisance, begging from house to
house.

VENICE, May 13.-The initial COM
cert of Chisfarelll's band at the audi
conditions and record breaking
crowd, marked the opening of the sum-
mer season here today. The midway,
which proved a center of attraction,
did the biggest days business in
months, and traffic on the miniature

dimensions as to demand cutting up
the trains and running the locomotives
tandem.
A parachute jump and numerous
other free outdoor attractions were
features of the afternoon.
Sackett's Unique Scheme
A novel method of contributing to
the cause of relief in behalf of San
Francisco has been devised and put
into most promising operation by X.
Ackley Sackett, the local silhouette
artist. Mr.. Sackett, who has been one
of the leading spirits in the relief work
effected here, several days ago caused
to be announced at the public school
that to every child bringing him a
school book, regardless of subject mat
ter or condition, he would present pro-
file cut to order. Already the books
have commenced to come in and the
silhouette craze among the youngsters
is assuming alarming proportions.

books are spread over arithmetics and
readers, some of which were undoubt-
edly in use before California was set
tied, in the none too large quarters
of the artist; and the end is not yet
Yesterday a woman promised to do

scissors paralysis, which complaint the
undiminishing activity of the youthful
population of town seems bent on maxi

ELEVATOR RUN BY RED TAPE
Car Operators In Washington Have
Troubles of Their Own With
fbe Dinnitariee

the Dignitaries
Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, May 13.-The tribu-
lations of the conductors on the eleva-
tors in the state, war and navy build
ings are many. There is as much
etiquette on one of these cars on a
busy day as one would find at one of
the big dinners at the White House.
The approach of the secretary of
state, of war, or of the navy, in the
direction of one of these lifts" is sig
nailed by a peculiar clapping of the
hands by all the messengers or vet
Grams who guard the approaches to
the building.
So, at the sound Of "three bells" on
the push button Ga secretarys calD,
no matter who is on the elevator, be
he an admiral or a geenral, the lever
Is reversed, down or up it goes, as
the indicator reads, and the secretary
is carried at once to the floor of his
destination, for there is no stopping at
the floor to take on or let off any,
body else.
Now comes the time when the keen
discretion of the conductor-his re-
membrance of faces and his knowledge
of ranks of army and navy officers
and their precedence-is brought into
play.
For instance-on the day of the fu-
neral of General Schofield the building
was alive with officers in full dress
uniform on their way to st. Johns
church to attend the ceremonies. A
major of cavalry from Fort Myer, Va,
having business at the Quartermas-
ter's department, was on the elevator
and was being shot up to the third
floor, when three bells" announced
the secretary of war at the ground
floor Down went the elevator. The
secretary and the major saluted, and
before the salutation was over 1.-TWO
bells" rang, meaning that an officer
of high rank wished to ride in jiffy.
The secretary of course, was ."it,"
and was first ushered out at the Sec
ond floor. Then up flew the elevator
to the fourth floor to answer 1.-TWO
BELLS" to take on briga dier general
who desired to descend to the street
floor. More saluting by the major.
Down shot the elevator. The brigader
departed, and the major, who had
been carried past his destination
twice, now breathed sigh of relief, !
but just then "two bells" rang again
on the second floor, and this time the
chief of staff, with the rank of lieu
tenant general, got aboard, and down
the major went again, salute and all.
After the chief of staff went, the
ever polite conductor, turning to the
Junior officer and Observing his rank
and insignia, said, Major, what floor,
please ?''
"The third, please" replied the be-
lated officer, but the next time l
want it I'll walk"
