Another Good Man Gone.

Uncle" ]. M. Eller, one of
the pioneer residents Of Idaho
county and a man esteemed by
all the residents of Camas Prair-
lie, died Tuesday afternoon at
Grangeville from cancer of the
stomach, aged 72 years. He had
been afflicted with the disease
for several years but it was only
for the past few months that he
was bedfast. The deceased re-
sided in Cottonwood for the past
several years and was formerly
mail carrier on the Kamiah route.
He leaves family of grown
children, his wife having died a.
bout a year ago of the same dis
ease which caused his death.
The funeral sermon was preach
ed Wednesday at Grangeville and
the remains were brought to this
place yesterday afternoon for in
terrment by the side of the de-
ceased wife. Owing to a mis-
understanding it was expected
services would be held at the
Methodist church here and many
who wished to attend the last
rites were thus disappointed.

Supply Warehouses to be Built
at Once by Contractors
DO DOCK WORK IN s MONTHS
Tunnels and Rock Cuts to be Started at
Once---Other Work Begin Later

The construction of transfer
warehouses to accommodate the
equipment and supplies of the
contractors engaged in the build
ing of the railroad to GrangevilIe,
will be commenced next week at
Culdesac and the tunnel work
in Eapwai canyon will be under
way as soon as camps can be
established and roads provided
for moving the equipment from
the warehouses to the upper can
yon.
The inspection Of the conditions
at the Culdesac terminal has
been completed by Porter Bros.
& Welch, who spent two days in
the canyon accompanied by a
number of sub-contractors and it
is understood several sub-con-
tracts were awarded before the
contractors left for st. Paul yes
terday. The work will be com
menced at several points where
heavy rock work is to be encount-
cred but the dirt grading will not
be taken up until the weather
settles in the spring.
It is definitely learned that the
tunnel and all rock work
will be performed within six
months and this can be consider
ably shortened if necessity de-
mands. 1t is expected the build
ing of transfer warehouses and
the road to the upper canyon
will require about ten days after
which camps will be located at
the tunnel sites and a large force
of men with machine drills plac-
ed on the contract. Tribune.

Evidence OF
The KnocKcr
Report Now Being Circulated That N.
P. viii Miss Cottonwood
DARALLFL ELECTRIC ROAD
Is Said the Road viii Build East From
Ferdinand

From some source, with an
evidence desire to hurt Cotton
wood, the report has been start
ed that the Northern Pacific sur
vey is to be changed to run east
from Ferdinand to Grangeville
and leave this place to one side.
Now any person who will stop for
a minute to consider the matter
will easily see the utter foolish
ness of,such a report and will be
able to see 'falsehood" all
through it. We do not deny that
such a change is possible. Any
thing is possible in railroading
even to leaving us without
railroad on the prairie for an
other 40 years. We do deny,
however, the probability Of the
change. Firstly, surveying part
les have been through this coun-
try for many years and almost
every survey made followed pra-
ctically the course of the present
survey and all came through Cot
tonwood. Secondly, from the
top of the mountain above Guide
sac no other course than the one
selected can be secured across
the prairie without encountering
a heavier grade and railroad peo-
pie are not picking out heavy
grades just to please certain peo-
pie or towns. Thirdly, the con-
tract for the construction of the
road from Culdesac to Grange
vile according to the present
survey has already been let and
work is to be commenced at once,
consequently it is pure foolish
ness to argue that the route will
be changed at this late date, es~
pecially as tie contracts have
been let for delivering ties on
the right of way at this place,
and as no time is to be lost on
changing surveys and routes if
the road is to be built to Grange
vile by next winter, as the con-
tract calls for. Fourthly, every
mile nearer to the Clearwater
branch the new is built the more
trade it takes from that road and
the aim would naturally be to de-
velop more trade by entering
new territory rather than to
have two lines serving practically
the same scope of country.
Furthermore, if the Northern
Pacific people ever expect to con-
meet with the P. & l. N. road
and provide a north and south
line, as all.indications would tend
to imply, it will follow exactly
the survey now laid out as the
only logical place for connecting
the two lines is by way of Grave
Creek south of this place. AS to
the electric line forcing the N. P.
to parallel it from Ferdinand to
Grangeville, that is absurd in
the extreme. The chances are 80
to 1 that the electric line does not
get this side of Waha consequent
ly the N. P. has nothing to fear.
Cottonwood people are resting
secure in their belief that the

Make it a Free Bridge

A dispatch from lewiston, Ilaho.
states that a campaign has been
launched by the com mercial clnbs of
Lewiston and Charleston, for the put,
chase by the state of the steel bridge
across tie Snake river at that point.
This is move of vital imrorEan ce
to Wenatchee with new bridge
building across the Columbia river.
for upon its success uerends almost
entirely whether the new bridge here
shall be free or toll bridge. Upon
it's success. depends in great measure
the rapid deveiopemenG and growth of
the rich orchard lands across the Col
umbia river with the consequent
growth of our city.
While toll bridge across the liver
at this point will by no means stop the

lands and will be vast improvement

essarIly slower than il the bTi. &c
were free, and will tend to bald up
a town on the other Il te of the river,
diverting much trade from the mer-
chants here, winch should belong t.
them and which they would reclive
with a free bulge. A townsite has
already been plated across the river
and as soon as settlers begin to occupy
the lands, several stores. will be put
in. Thousands of dollars of business
viii! be transacted across the river
if toll bridge obtains, which other.
wise would come here. The dev elop.
mens of the lands across the Columbia
will of course be great benefit to
this city under any condition, but
this benefit with free bridge will
be inestimably greater
Now, it is of greatest Importance TO
the people of Wenatcnee and the
people across the liver that the new
bridge be free, 1t is time that an
active campaign be begun, following
the lead OF the Lewiston and Clerks
ton commercial clubs toward that end,
Upon athe success of the meve at
Lewiston depend the success here,
therefore this city and Chelan aud
Douglas counties should do every thing
possible to assist IN getting the state
to buy the bridge across the Snake.
With that as precedent tie rest
should be easy sailing
We have a much better proposition
to place before the legislature than
has Lewiston. There is special
provision in ,te charter of the bridge

MORE MONEY FOR 100000
FALL RIVER LEADS OFF IN AD-
VANcING MILL WAGES.
Manufacturers in Southeastern Mas
sachusetts, Rhode Island and Con-
necticut Will Follow.


Fall River, Mass.-The full 10
per cent increase in wages de-
manded by the textile mill operatives
has been granted and a threatened
strike averted.
The increase affects 10000 opera
tives and is effective Monday next.
NJ. c. D. Borden, an Independent cot
ton manufacturer, employing 5000 op-
eratives, took the lead in meeting the
demands of the mill employees. This
restores the wages paid in 1903.
According to advices received from
cotton mill centers in southern New
England, an advance of 10 per cent
i'll wages granted by the Fall River
manufacturers to their 80, 900 employees
will affect nearly 100000 operatives
in southeastern Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, eastern Connecticut, and in
several towns in other sections. 1t is
not expected, however, that the rise
will amount to 10 per cent, except
in Fall River, and several print cloth
mill villages.
