IDAHO TIMBER LANDS
SELL FOR $4,000. 900

Over 100, 600 acres of timber
land, on which is approximately
2, 500, 900, 600 feet of standing tim
Der, valued at SO, 900, has been
purchased by the Monarch Timber
company on the St. Joe and ST.
Maries river valleys in Idaho. Half
of this gigantic purchase was made
yesterday in a single deal between
A. w. Flewcling, of Spokane, rep
rescnting the Monarch Timber
company, and F. A. Blackwell, of
his own interests and the William
Howard Land 81 Timber company.
This is the largest single timber
deal ever negotiated on the Paci-
fic coast.
Besides this, hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars are to be expended
by the Monarch Timber company
in establishing mills and manufac-
turing this timber into commercial
lumber. The building of the
mills will begin in the spring.
Negotiations which resulted in
the purchase of the holdings of Mr..
Blackwell and the William Howard
Land & Timber company, began
August 4, when an option on 90, 900
acres of land was taken by the
Monarch company. A hundred men
were at once put to work by the
Monarch company cruising the
timber, but the work could not be
finished before the expiration of the
option, November 4, and Mr.. Black
we'll extended it 80 days. Yester-
day Mr. Blackwell came to Spo-
kane in response to a notification
by Mr.. Fleweling that the option
would be taken up and the con-
tract was closed.
Mr.. Blackwell individually owns
one-fifth of the 90, 600 acres. He
has acquired the land during the
last three or four years from a num-
Der of different owners.
A. w. Ficwelling talked freely
last night about the purchase of
the timber land.
''Wclhave notified Mr.. Blackwell
that we will take up the option, -
he said, land unless there is a flaw
discovered in the title the deal is
assured. The amount involved in
the purchase made from Mr.. Black
well is close to 50, 900, 900, but
during the last few months l have
picked up about an equal amount
of timber land in the same localities
from different owners. l suppose
there are about 2,50o, 600, 600 feet
of timber included in the entire
transaction and over 100, 900 acres
of land.
s'Of course all of this land is not
contiguous, as it would be impos-
siblc to secure such large tracts o.
timber together as in any othei
tracts in the country.

and ST. Marics river valleys.
About half of it is fine white pine
and the rest is made up of cedar,
red fir, tamarack and yellow pine.
1T is the intention of the COM
pany to build sawmills and manu-
facturc lumber. Naturally it will
take years before all this timber
can be sawed up, but we will prob
ably begin in the spring. 1t is i'm
possible for me to say how much
shall be expended or how extensive
our misunderstanding operations will
be in the immediate future, but it
will doubtless mean the employ
ment of a great many men,

G0MPERS: IS ? .EASED:
WITH MAINE ELECTION
Cutting Of Littlef1eld's Major
ity is Favorable Sign
to Labor. !
Result Was Great Moral Vic
tory to Union Labor and
ALI the People. =.

Washington, Sept. 27.-President
Samuel Gompers. Of the American
Federation Of Labor. yesterday gave
out the following statement concerning
the result Of the Maine election, par
ticularly the result in the second dis
trict where Representative Lttleleld
was reelected by greatly reduced
majority:
II look upon the result of the cleo
tion In the Second district Of Maine
as a great moral victory not only for
labor, but for the people generally.
OF course, It would have pleased me
more had Mr.. Littlef1eld been defeated:
but in view Of the fact that, except
in some parts OF the Southern States,
the workingmen are less organized
than in any other part Of tho country,
I appealed not only to the working
men in public life. Considering the
fact that Maine is regarded as rock
bound Republican stronghold, the cut
ting Of Mr.. Littlefleld's majority of
5,6s2 over his opponent in 1904, to be-
tween 700 and 800 now, is cause for
great qualification. 1t is, as I said,
a great moral victory, which will have
noticeable influence throughout the
country. It shows that the people have
1t In their power to compel decent and
fair treatment at the hands Of those
who seek their votes.
"Mr. Littlefield claims that I have
helped him in his campaign. Para
phrasing the language Of another, CEN
turtles ago, Mr.. Littlefeld could well
say: Another such victory and I am
lost
1.-The reason for the reduced majori-
ties Of the other candidates allied with
Mr.. Littlefeld in Maine is also because
Of labor's political campaign, for while
the particular fight was directed
against him, labor in other parts Of the
state is better organized and took up
the cause against the Indifferent and
hostile candidates who stood for cleo
ton.
THE fight we made against Mr.. Lit
tlefleld was not because he was Re-
publican, and 1t was not made in the
interest Of the Democratic party. 1t
was made because Mr.. Littlefeld was
for the industrial, commercial and
transportation trusts and combinations
against the interests Of labor specific
ally and those Of the people generally.
He not only opposed every labor inter-
est, but he was one Of the few who
even voted against the railroad rate
bill, the enactment of which was so
strongly urged by President Roosevelt.
I'VE shall continue In labor's CAM
paign for justice and right. for we feel
very much encouraged in this first ap-
peal we have made to the conscience,
sympathy and support of the Ameri-
can people,"

DULUTH HEIGHTS GOSSIP
BRIEF AND SOCIAL NEWS
Hose Wagon and 1000 Feet Of
Hose Secured for Volunteer
Fire Company.
Company Elects Officers-John
Robertson Unanimously Re-
elected Captain.

The people of Duluth Heights are
rightly proud Of their fire department
these days. A volunteer brigade is
always popular, and Duluth Heights
has the only we'll organized volunteer
fire company in the city.
This week through the courtesy of
Chief Black we have secured a hose
wagon equipped with 1000 feet of
good hose, two nozzles and the neces-
sary wrenches to attach to hydrant.
We have equally as good an equip
nent as any fire hall in the city, and
better than any other suburb. All we
lack is horses to make a quick run
to a fire.
At the City Council Monday evening
the Fire Commissioners were ordered
to purchase two hose carts, each to
contain 500 feet of hose. It is expected
that these will be on hand within a
month.
Several drills will be made by the

STATE FAIR FAVORED
FOR LABOR DAY MEET
Labor Organizations of St. Paul
and Minneapolis Get Busy
for Next Year.
Success of Last Labor Day Causes
Twin City Unions to Do
It Again.

Minneapolis, Sept. 27.-Encouraged
by the successful outcome of the
Labor Day celebration, which was
held this year in conjunction with the
state fair and proved to be the ban
ner day as far as attendance goes, the
Trades Assembly has taken up the
arrangements for next years pro-
gram. In 1905 the labor unions held
an independent celebration at Lake
MinnetOnka. This was not as sue
cessful as many wished, and as Labor
Day generally comes the opening day
of the fair, the majority seem to favor
some sort Of an understanding be-
tween the fair management Ind the
labor organizations which will insure
the holding Of future Labor Day exer-
cises on the fair grounds.
Much of the credit for the Labor
Day crowd at the fair, which exceeded
any previous figures for any day, is
taken by the unions, and it is now
generally admitted that their men,
bership added materially in swelling
the total.
Delegate Hoffman brought the mat
ter up in the assembly last week and
! urged that committee be chosen to
make an immediate start upon next
Labor Day arrangements. He sug-
gested that the assembly get closer in
touch with the farmers, the co-opera-
ton to be made permanent, as from
an alliance with the tillers of the soil
much benefit might be derived by
both the farmer and the labor union
ist. Mr.. Hoffman pointed out that AS
the matter now stands, we only ap-
proach them (the farmers) when we
have some big job on our hands,"
( William Templeman, former presi-
dent of the State Federation of Labor
and special organizer for the Typo
graphical union, was present, and ad-
vised action such as outlined by Mr..
Hoffman. Mr.. Temple1zan thought
an efofrt should be made to bring to
Minneapolis next Labor Day Presi-
dent John Mitchell of the Mine Work
ers. This suggestion met with ap-
proval.
St. Paul assembly has a committee.
and the Minneapolis central body will
work in harmony with st. Paul, the
intention being to make future Labor
Day celebrations joint affairs. This
plan is being urged for the reason
that it is not possible for both cities
to observe the day separately, pro-
vided both choose the fair grounds
It has been given out that the joint
committee will at once proceed to sc.
cure for next year an orator of ma
tional prominence. and If Mr.. Mitchell
cannot be induced to come, some 9th.
er man will be sought.
President McElroy named John
Chubbuck Of the Ciagrmakers' union
and William Gund of the Pressmen's
union as the committee.

trustees. There were seven candidates
and John Hogan, J. H. Tomlin and
Edward Perrott were elected.
Edward Perrott was allowed $500
for plastering the hall. w. E. McEwen
reported what had been secured for
the department during the past month.
President w. H. Harwoud of the
Duluth Heights Improvement society
gave the company some good advice
on the proper management of the COM
pany. He was member of the ORR
ginal volunteer fire company Of the
city of Duluth, and he hoped that the
boys would bend their every energy
to make good showing at fires. He
said that fire was a good servant but
a bad master, and he explained what
could be saved by a few minutes in
telligent work at the beginning of a
fire. Seven new members were ad-
nitted.

Dispatcher Fiees for Life


W. l.. Grey, until IA few days ago
a dispatcher on the Sonora railroad,
arrived In Bisbee Tuesday afternoon,
after having passed through such
terrible experiences as come TO few

trains to collide on the road for
which he was working, causing the
