Bonners Ferry.

The Spokane International rail-
ways mill burned at Bonners Ferry
during Sunday night. The sawmill
was formerly owned by H. j. Skinner.
Fire was discovered about o'clock
Sunday morning, and it is presumed
that sawdust caught fire and spread
to the shed that enclosed the mill,
which was burned to the ground.
There were about 100000 logs al
the mill, and about the same amount
of sawed bridge timber, all of which
was saved. The loss is about $780,
with no Insurance.
Miss Maud Chapman of this place
aged 10 years, died Sunday at Sal
Lake City OF consumption. The lat
Miss Chapman was a school teache
here and widely esteemed.
The Bonners Ferry Lumber com,
pany is overhauling its plant, install
ling four large boilers, which vii
increase the saving capacity of tn
| mill about 20, 900 feet day.

A delegation of labor leaders head
ed by President Gompcrs called upon
the President and submitted their
grievances and received in reply one
OF the Presidents peculiar straight
from-the-shoulde lectures. He told
them plainly that he did not approve
their anti-injunction aspirations and
said it was absurd and would be
5ruinous TO attempt to apply the eight
hour labor regulations to work on
the Panama Canal. He emphasized
his square deal policy. The Presi-
dent talked to them in loud voice
with the emphasis and earnestness
that he is accustomed to use whether
talking to delegations of millionaire
railroad or mine operators or to re-
presentatives of working men. The
President seldom becomes deferential
and gracious to delegations unless
they are of the gcntler sex.

is finally agreed upon will doubtless
be the very best that can be had.
Senator Hepburn, as well as ma

with the general plan Of the admins
tration on this bill. Senator Dubois
is IN favor Of the bill although he has
not made speech on 1t and probably
will not. as he is not a lawyer. Con

THEY ALL WANT THE ROAD.
Mass Meeting in Interests of Carline-
Committees Appointed

The mass meeting called by M.
F. Mendenhall of Spokane at the
Rathdrum fraternal hall last Sat
urday evening in the interests OF
the proposed Spokane & Pend d.
Oreille Lake Electric line, was
largely attended by Rathdrum citi-
zens, and much enthusiasm dis
played.
Stewart Young, president of the
Rathdrum State bank, acted as
chairman of the meeting and intro
duced Mr.. Mendenhall who ex-
planned the purpose Of the meeting
and the object of constructing the
line. He pointed out the advan-
tages that the road would give to
Rathdrum and the rich territory it
would traverse and develop, and
he asked that the citizens, by TAX
ing stock and assisting in the Sc
curing of right of way, aid the
company as much as possible. Mr..
Mendenhall said the road would
cost in the neighborhood of one
million dollars, that the company
will own its terminal grounds. The
stock has par value of $Ioo per
share, and is non-assessible. A
limited number of shares have been
put upon the market at $50.
Messrs w. S. McCrea, Hutchin-
son, Reeves and Mcdonald, direc-
tors of the company, were also

pledged their good will were. John

Judge r. S. McCrea, w. A. Logue,
R. c. Thompson, A. Cook, A. w.
Post, DR.. Wenz, Bartlett Sinclair,
Sup't r. c. Egbers, Walter Lar
sen and c. A. Berry. All spoke
strongly in favor of the road, and
their remarks appeared to voice
the sentiments of all present.
On motion the chairman appoint
ed two committees, one to aid in
securing the right of way: c. A.
Berry, r. c. Borthwick, L. Lar
sen, ]. R. NJ. Culp and c. w.
Remer; and the other, to solicit
for stock: John Crenshaw, r. S.
McCrea, r. E. Young, A. W. Post
and D. E. Dandy. The meeting
was then adjourned.
Both committees are at work
and an effort is being made to bring
the route of the line closer to the
main part of town. There is every
assurance that the road will be
built. The surveys are practical
ly completed, the terminals Sc
cured, and we are informed that
the steel has been ordered. The
company is incorporated under the
laws of the states of Washington
and Idaho.

HEPBURN AND RATE BILL
Philippine Appropriation Bill
Knocked Out.

BY vote of % to % the Senate
last week struck out that portion of
the Army Appropriation Bill which
provided 5000, 600 for the fortifica-
tion of the Philippine Islands, and
the surprising feature of the vote
was that Senators Allison and Lodge,
close friends of the President, voted
with those opposing a fortica-
tion Of the Islands. 1t has been
known ever since the Philippine Com
mittee killed the Philippine Tariff
Bill that there was quite sentiment
In the Senate that favored giving up
these particular islands, but it was
not thought that there was not
enough sentiment to make the above
showing. It is the firm expectation
in Washington that movement will
be started not later than the next
session of Congress to dispose of the
Philippine Islands. The approach
ing election is the only thing that
prevents a consideration Of this ques-
tion at the present session, as both
parties are afraid TO take decided
stand just at this time.
| Last week Senator Hepburn and
Congressman French introduced 6
bill in the Senate and House, grant
ing permission to the Chicago, Mil
waukee, and St. Paul Railway Com
pany to construct bridge across thu
Snake River at or near Lewiston
Idaho. This is mere matter o
form and the bill will pass within ;
short time.
Senator Hepburn is taking yer.
prominent part in the discussion o
the rate bill, and In this great piec
of constructive legislation in whicl
so many intricate legal questions ar
involved, his legal ability is bein
recognized by the foremost lawyers Il
the Senate. 1t seems to be a yer
difficult matter to draft a bill tina
will stand the scrutiny of the Su
preme Court and at the same time b
of substantial service to the people
consequently every scheme presente
