MAY FRANCHISES
Be CAPITALIZED
United States Court in New
York has up a Weighty
Problem.

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-With the
public service commission as a party
defendant with the state, county and
city of New York, represented by the
attorney general, the corporation
counsel and the district attorney re-
spectiVely, argument is being heard in
the United States court today on the
exceptions to the Nasten S0-cent gas
bill report. Edward B. Whitney is act
ing as special counsel for the public
utilities commission ana appeared be-
fore Judge Lacombe to argue against
the report On the issue of this case
depends millions of dollars which the
gas trust is now collecting from the
people of Greater New York by the
means of alleged exorbitant prices.
The point which the public utilities
commission practically wants deter
mined, and which will undoubtedly be
carried to the United States supreme
court, is whether the master, Arthur
Nasten, was correct in regarding the
franchise of the gas trust" as capi-
tai on which the company was Untitled
to earn profits. Mr.. Nasten appraised
the gas franchises as worth $20,000,-
900, reaching this figure by calculating
the profits which the company earned,
and arguing that if company earned
such profits it's franchise must be worth
500, 100000. At the same time he as
serted that the company was priVi-
legged to earn a just revenue on this
capitalization, which, in his belief it
could not do under the 80-cent gas
llaw BY this curious species of reas-
oning the charging of high prices for
gas must be maintained because the
/ franchises of the trust have become
extremely valuable through the pro-
/ cess of charging high prices.
! 1t is the belief of the members O
I the public service commission that the
! question of the capitalization of fran
! chises will figure largely in the traction
and electric light Investigations, ant
that, therefore, the final determination
is of the utmost Importance. Should
Judge Lacombe uphold the matter the
board will appeal the case, no matter
what the other defendants may do.

The Northwestern Lumber company
has announced it's plans to install and
Nave in operation by July 1, 19OS a
sawmill with an annual capacity of
500O0,60 feet and to build and equip
thirty miles of railroad from a point on
the Northern Pacific near Vollmer TO
the heart of the Craig Mountain timber
belt. The railroad system will consist
of a series of branches reaching into
all sections of the timber country.
The company has taken up options
on 16,5O0 acres and expects to have 50,-
900 acres by the first of the year. The
timber holdings on Craig mountain, in
Guiding the timber held by option, is
sufficient to give the company cut of
25 years and plans have already been
perfected for marketing the first class
product in the eastern markets where
the best price is offered for the high
grade finishing lumber.
The plans of the company also jro-
vide for entering the Blue mountain

plete in the northwest
The Northwestern Lumber company
is composed of Philadelphia capitalists
who visited the Craig mountain coun-
try several weeks ago and after a
thorough investigation organized the
company and arranged for the finances
with which to purchase the timber and
install the railroad system and mills
that will be used in the manufacture
of the product.
Instrumental in the organization of
the company was D. Cameron of Lew
iston, and much of the valuable tim
ber has been secured through Mr.
Cameron's efforts
The company will establish an office
and yards in Lewiston where all build
ing materials and fuel will be kept on
sale. The mill to be constructed will
be so arranged that the capacity car
be materially Increased as the demand
requires.

KOOSKIA, Ida, Oct. 21.-Repre-
sentatives of the Bitter Root Valley
railroad, the Clearwater extension of
the o. r. & N. company, are scour-
ing the country for men to send into
he Locksaw country on what they
claim is a two-months' job The ma
ture of the work is not known, but 1t
is believed the men now being secur-
ed will be used in the construction
of trails into the interior country,
where the survey is now being prose-
cuted and, where roads will be neces-
sary when the construction work is
commenced.
The surveyors are now working
g,Jove the falls on the Locksaw, and
the men engaged in the work have
definitely stated the permanent loca-
ton is being made. All details of the
survey are being worked out as the
work progresses, and 1t is expected
by the time the surveyors are driven
from the country by the winter storms
The engineering features on this side
Of the summit will be practically
comple+e ed.
For the past several weeks the
railroad company has been working
Jointly with the forest reserve de-
partment in the construction of trails
into the upper waters of the Lock-
saw valley, and through the efforts
of Forest Supervisor Fem an addi-
tional appropriation of $4,000 has
been secured to carry on the govern
ment's part of this work, and II is
Believed the railroad company pro-
poses to carry on their work stimuli
taneously.
w. E. Parry, the well-known pack
er is still engaged in carrying sup

Of the railroad engineers but it has
not yet been indicated when the men
expect to abandon the work for the
winter.
! Two years ago a crew of engineers
under the Chicago, Milwaukee and
81 Paul continued their engineering
work in this section during the great
er part of the winter, and it is not un-
likely the o. r. & N. surveyors will
continue the work until the location
has been perfected 70 the summit OF
the Bitter Roots.

NO THIRD Term
IS PROBABLE
Other Boomers Take Re-
newed Interest, BugheS
Coming to Front.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. Al
The Roosevelt third-term boomers, at
least some of them. have taken a So
ber second thought. There may be
found men today who, a month ago,
would hear nothing but Roosevelt,
who will admit now that the pres-
dent will have TO sand by his pro-
nouncement Of election night, 1904
become a candidate for or accept next
years nomination for the presidency,
Gives Private Assurances.
Mr.. Roosevelt has recently given
private assurances that he intends to
stand by his election-night statement
and that nothing can swerve him from
that determination. Arthur 1. Vorys
of Ohio, campaign manager for Secre-
tary of War Taft, had become much
worked up over the third-term talk,
and at Canton he had a heart-to-
heart talk with the chief executive.
There has been no public announce
ment as to what took place at the
conference; but enough has been Civ
en- out to indicate that the president
made it plain that he intends to stsnd
by Taft as his first choice for the sue
| cession. Vorys has gone back to the
Job of booming Taft with a confidence
that had been entirely lacking in his
| demeanor during the past few weeks.
! That Taft managers now are con
vnced that they need fear no throw
down" by Roosevelt, and they have a
clearer idea as 20 how their campaign
plans should be conducted. The per-
son wto IS now most feared by. the
Hughes Of New York. In the polls
taken he in indicated as the over
whelming second-choice candidate of
the supporters of Roosevelt and Taft.
the interests in New York the men
who control the speculative markets
of the country, are for any man or
any measure that will defeat or dis
credit Roosevelt. They have been
successfully announced as being for
lnox, Foraker and Cannon.
Fairbanks and Hughes Lead.
Early in the game they were said to
be for Fairbanks. But now that ii
seems impossible to nominate any re-
dictionary they are sadd to be lining
up for Hughes, even though it is
known to all men that Roosevelt dic-
tated his nomination as governor and
Thereby saves the state from Hearst
as they are disposed to put it. 1t is
Iseid that Hughes has been infected
with the presidential virus and Is
willing to part with Roosevelt in or
Iler to get the nomination. His bid
for the support of the conservative
d ielement is said to have been his veto
of the 2-cent railroad bill, and his
refusal to give organized labor repre-
Isentation upon the public utilities
tcommission, which he selected to con
troll the great corporations of New
York.

BRYAN INvADES
TRUST DOMAIN

NEW YORK, Oct 21.-The belief
among the political leaders of both
parties that William ]. Bryan aspires
to be the democratic standards bearer
again next year and the feeling, more
over, that he will soon make formal
announcement of his candidacy for
the nomination, has created a more or
less lively interest in his present visit
to the East.
Opening with an address in Cooper
Union tonight the Nebraska leader has
planned speaking tour that win con-
sumo several weeks and provides fer
his appearance in most OF the large
cities of New Yorw state and New
England.
Mr.. Bryan was to have made his
initial speech tonight. not in Cooper
Union, which has a comparatively
small seating capacity, but in Madison
Square garden. which was the scene
of one of his most notable triumphs on
the occasion of his welcome home on
his return from a tour Of the world
His positive refusal, however, to ac-
cept contributions from corporations or
other large financial interests, 1t Ia
stated, handicapped the management
so much for funds that the plan to
have the demonstration in Madison
Square garden had to be abandoned.
Carnegie hall was given up. for the
same reason, and it was finally decided
to hold the meeting in Cooper Union.
If the occasion warrants It, an over
flow meeting win be held to aecomnao-
date the crowd.
