o. r. g. N. TO BUILD.
Company will Construct Line
to Crangevilie.

A report which caused q good
deal of excitement and which seems
to be we'll founded, came up from
Lewiston the last of the week to
the effect that the Clearwater Rail-
road Company's line up the Clear
water river from a Junction with
the O. r. & N. Co.'S. line at Lew
iston to Grsngeville would be built
in short time. The road will be
a part of the o. r. & N, and will
be built and operated by the off,
cials Of the Hartman road. The
line will be in opposition to the
Northern Pacific's Clearwater
Short line, operated from Lewiston
up the Clearwater valley to Sites.
The road will have length OF
about 70 miles and is projected to
Grangeville. Running northeast
from Lewiston, the surveys lie on
the north side of the Clearwater
paralleling the Northern Pacific to
Lapwai Junction where the line
crosses the Clearwater river and
runs east following the south side
of the river to Peck. At that point
the surveys turn almost due south
as far as Nezperce where the line
turns southwest to Westlake and
then again southeast to Grange
vile. The road will form a rever.
sed letter 3.
The news of the company's inten
tions has caused much interesr
among the citizens of the city. The
fact is recalled that the o. r. & N
Co., once had terminal grounds in
the west part of the city and ais,
had been granted right of way
through some Of the streets of tn,
town. They held the former few
years when it reverted back to tn,
original owners and has since beer
built up into residence district
The old surveys made by the com
pany several years ago are bein,
relocated and everything looks a
though the road was to be speedil,
completed into Grangeville.

RICH STRIKE
| AT BEAR CREEK
Streak Of Pure Gold Discovered Al
Goodenoush Mine.
LUCKY STRIKE FOR IRWIN BROS.
Find Causes Great Excitement
In Mountains.

Sheriff ]. E. Greene brought out
some inter esting mining news Tues.
day, when he came out from the
Salmon river country with 0. B.
Howard. Near the old Salmon
river bridge they met two miners
from the Marshall Lake district,
who informed them Of one of the
richest strikes ever made in Idaho
county mines. The strike was
made one day last week at the
Goodenough mine on Bear Creek.
1t consisted OF a small vein running
through the main ledge. 1t was
made up of small sandy-like rock
and was almost pure gold The
vein was about AN inch in width.
An estimated value of the new
find, places it at about $50, 600 per
ton. The strike has caused much
excitement in the hills and Mar
shall lake miners are much elated
over the report.
The Goodenough mine is man.
aged by Irwin Brothers and is one
Of the best mines in the Marshall
Lake district. For over two years
force of twelve or fourteen men
has been employed and lately a
five stamp mill was installed. The
news has occasioned some interest
locally and will probably cause a
mild boom in the Marshall Lake
district. The news of such a strike
is enough to cause mining men
everywhere to sit up and take
notice.

Company G will Conduct Rink
at Armory.

at ArmOry.
A partnership has been formed
between Company g, N. g. /. and
J. M. Gilmore, for the purpose of
conducting a roller skating rink at
the Armory. The skates have
been orderd and the rink will be
ready for the public next week.
Skates Of the highest grade were
ordered. While the present floor
in the Armory is not of hardwood
it is reasoned that it will serve well
enough for the purpose for time.
If the patronage justiies putting
in a hardwood floor it will be done.
As soon as the enterprise is in
running order the Armory will be
open to skaters on Monday, We'd
nesday, Thursday and Saturday
nights, from 7 to IL O'Clock each

MORE ARRESTS
IN KNUDSoN CASE
o B. Howard and Ed Wiley Brought
In This Week.
10TH CONFINED IN COUNTY JAIL
Lawyers for Defense and Pro.
seCution Chosen.

Ed Wiley was brought in from
Florence, Sunday, by Deputy Sher-
i'll John Pearson. He was arrested
as one of the three men charged
with being implicated in the Knud-
son murder case. Sheriff j. E.
Greene returned Tuesday evening
from his trip up the Salmon river,
where he arrested o. b. Howard,
better known as *Curly" Howard,
on the same charge. Both Wiley
and Howard are confined in the
county Jail. James Wiley, arrested
last week in connection with the
same case, is held at the city Jail.
1t was thought best to separate the
two Wileys to prevent their con-
versing together, so they were con-
fined in different jails.
At the preliminary hearing
County Attorney A S. Hardy will
prosecute if it is set before the date
Of the expiration of his term of
Office, which is Jan. l4th. Other.
wise, the prosecution will be i'm
charge of County Attorney elect
E. M. Griffith. W. N. Scales has
also been employed to assist in the
prosecution. James Wiley has en-
ployed M. Reese Hattabaugh for
his defense. The others, Ed Wiley
and 0. B. Howard, have not yet
engaged lawyers for their defense
AS yet the date for the preliminary
hearing has not been set. Inter-
est in the case has increased great
ly of late and as the case develops
it will probably attract much
attention.

POLLOCK CASE SETT LED
Judge DeHaven. as Admins

Judge James DeHaven returned
the last of the week from Boise
where he went on business con.
nected with the famous Pollock
land case. Judge DeHaven filed
final proof papers on the land and
practically closed one of the most
interesting cases ever before she

the mouth of Rapid river, on the

entitled to complete their title tc

laws because Pollock had settled
upon the land and lived upon it for
80 years prior to his death and tha
during his life be was prevented
from completing title to it unde

The case has been carried through

LONG BEACH, Jan. 5.-The girl

business man from Winnipeg, who has

While he was standing in front of the
Pacific Electric depot, at about $3.50
o'clock, two pretty blondes, attractively
dressed, meandered past him twice, and
the Canadian. thinking to have little
innocent amusement, bade them the top

not deaf to the salutation, and a gay
confab was on in minute.
The conversation shifting to the

shuddered and said:
Gee! but my hands are cold"
"Too bad" responded the Canadian,

"Oh, let me put 'em In your big, warm

A Pacific Electric car from Seaside
Park and bound for Los Angeles soon

ment made here today by Mrs. Frank

danger of crossing over street inter
sections before stopping a dangerous
one. Many of those who have been in
jured il stepping from a moving car
have admitted to me that the fatal
step was made when they were pre-
occupied and when there was nothing
In the motion of the car to especially
attract their attention to the fact that
it was moving. Looking at the slip
perry pavement glistening under the
glare of the street light, they have
failed to note that the car is in motion
and the jar of the heavy car over the
pavement is so reduced by reason of
the solid foundation on which the rails
are laid that no intimation Of the fact
that he is making a fatal step is car
ried to the victim till he finds himself
rolling over and over as the car speeds
by.
THE motormen are not at all i'm
favor OF the new method, however.
They state that the larger portion of
the people getting on car come uo
the front steps and between helping
old men and women and mothers with
babes, not to say cripples, he is kept
so busy that he is unable to attend to
his other duties, The conductor thinks
the scheme Is great and would not
go back TO the old way of doing 1t If
it were possible to do so without yio-
lating the rules
II believe most emphatically that the
new order OF things is a great benefit
and when the people once become ac-
customed to 1t they will like 1t much
better than the Old way of stopping on
the far side Of the crossing.
Since the first of the year. when
the new ruling went into effect, there
has been a great deal of complaining
by the passengers, owing to the fact
that they are left on the off side OF
the street by the cars that speed by
them without so much as a salute
They are being educated by experience,
smoothly soon. The accident list will
become less with every day the new
order is maintained"
