SELECTED FOUR SITES
Superintendent Appleton Will Recon-
mend Four Sites to Secretary
of Treasury.
of Treasury.

Thos. Appleton, superintendent
of construction of public buildings,
left this afternoon for WATERFOWL,
where he will perform the same duty
OF inspecting the sites for a govern
ment building.
In conversation with Mr.. Appleton
before leaving the city lie said that
he had reached a conclusion in his
own mind of where the public build
ing should be located in Mitchell.
He sa,d be had recommended a first,
second, third and fourth choice to
tue secretary Of the treasury as
suitable locations for the structure.
Which one the secretary will select
Is a matter unknown to him, and he
is as liable to take the fourth
recommendation as the proper loca-
ton as the first, second or third.
Mr.. Appleton said that he gave full
and complete information relative
to the four sites and the secretary
can take his choice. Each one, he
said, was as good as the other and
that there was very little choice
between them. Mr. Appleton said
under his instructions he was unable
to diNulge his recommendations, as
he is required by the secretary to
treat the matter in the most con-
tidential manner, and was therefore
unable to give the slightest hint in
his conversation as to the probable
location. Mr.. Appleton said that
perhaps two months would elapse
before the secretary's decision would
be made putlic, all according to how
soon the site matters would be taken

TELEPHONE COMPANY WON
The Missouri Valley Long Distance
Telephone Company Won Its
Case Against the City.

A1ler nearly two years of waiting
the Missouri Valley Telephone Co.
has at last, by direction Of the court,
been given the right to do business
IN the city of Mitchell with its long
distance phone system. The matter
has been lin the courts for the past
year and a half anG Judge Smith has
Just rendered a decision in favor of
the company. The facts of the case
are substantially as follows:
Ahout June, 1904, The city passed
40 ordinance granting TO the Missouri
VALLEY Telephone Co.. the privilege
10 erect poles ard operate a long
distance telephone. Immediately
after that the company started from
Armou" to build their line from
Armour to Mitchell. Litter upon the
motion of the city another ordinance
was passed to repeal the first ordi-
nance but granting the same privi-
lege hut in somewhat different form.
About November, 1904. the
completed its line TIC the city, and
ON application of the the
streets and alley committee fixed the
route of the poles where the company
was to erect its lines. The company
erected its poles but did not COM
plete its lines over this route, Civ
ing as an excuse that the parties
declined to permit to place the booth
IN the building that was previously
arranged for. The line was built in
The city TO the rear of the building
III view of putting the booth there.
In the spring Of 1905. while the line
was IN this uncompleted condition
the city OF Mitchell passed an ordi-
nance repeating the former fran
:hlses granting it a ritfht to come
INTO the city with its line. After
this repeating ordinance vas passed
the company was directed to remove
It's polls from the slreets and ALLEYS
OF the city. The telephone company
then commenced action against the
city to prevent interference IN COM
pleting it's lines into the city. The
court granted a temporary lnjunc-
ton in favor Of the company. a trial
OF the case was had upon it's merits
last May, before Judge Smith, and
the court recently made its findings
and Judgment in favor of the COM
panY, permanently enjoining the
city from removing the poles Of the
telephone company or interfering
with the operation Of its line on
the route that has been granted use
of by the city when the company was
erecting its line.
The city raised two d%efenses in the
trial OF the case. One was that
the poles we're insecurely placed in
the ground and were unsafe. and
were not tall enough to meet The
requirements of the ordinance. A
further defense was that the Ordi-
nance passed by the city was illegal
because action was taken thereon at
a special meeting Of the city coun-
Gil, and that under the condition OF
the city ordinance there was no
provision made for holding special
meetings OF the council, and if
such provision did exist they had
not been followed ont by the coun-
Gil In the following meetings.
Preston & Hannett appeared for
the city and a. e. Hitchcock for
the telephone company.

house Tuesday morning to nominate a
county ticket. Before the hour for
assembling there were different

Johnston for temporary chairman
and he was elected. On taking the
chair Mr.. Johnston thanked his
frienGs veiy sincerely for the honor
that they had paid him in asking
him to preside over the elaboration
of the conventions, and said that it
was az honor of which he was indeed
proud.
On retiring from the floor Mr..
Burns asked the indulgence of the
convention to make a brief state
ment. He said that some of his
friends, Mhu were candidates for
nomination. were being placed in an
embarrassing situation over the
election OF a new county chairman.
Mr.. Burns wanted the delegates to
understand that he was not q candi-
date for the position again and
would not permit his name TO be
used before the candidates who are
to be on the ticket. lie assured the
convention that whoever his success
sor might be that he would give him
the same loyal PERSONAL support that
had always been accorded him. MI.
Burns statement was applauded.
Tie election of temporary secre-
tary was next in order and Charles
Krom. of Mitchell township, was

Dumping Ground for Debts.

In addition to over 100000 of debt
which the segregated portion of Sho-
'shone county must bear alone, a cor
respondent to the Lewiston Teller
states that the section must also bear
its proportion of the debt Of Nez
Perce county, which amounts to one
seventh of the entire debt, or $25,-
900.
Another item of debt which seems
not yet to have entered into the cal
culation IS that of furnishing books
and transcribing records. As the
south end secms to be a sort of
dumping ground for debts, it may fall
heir to this also. The Press has heard
an estimate for this placed at $500
or $1,000. At any rate. it is a pretty
