'WHI7NEYs DAMsIT PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
Black Canyon Power Site
Case Reversed.

The litigation over damsite Or
the Payette river, near where the
Canyon canal dam is now located
has been going on for several year:
between E. H. Dewey and w. G.
Whitney. The case was tried twice
in the district court of the state.
Dewey won in these contests and
he also won in a trial that was
had in the federal court before
Judge Beatty. The case was taken
to the court of appeals at San Fran
cisco, where it was argued and sub
mitted some time ago. YESTERDAY
Richards & Haga, Mr.. Whitney
attorneys. received telegram from
San Francisco apprising them of
the fact that Judge Beatty S decision
had been reversed.
This will leave the title to the
valuable damsite in Mr.. Whitney's
possession. Other com plications
may follow as result of the deci-
sion for the Canyon Canal COM
pany. which has already expended
over 5000, 600. and has used the site
relying on a deed secured from E.
H. Dewey. The company will now
have to secure title from Whitney
before the project can be developed
Statesmen.
The damsite referred to above is
located at Black Canyon, FIVE. miles
above Emmett. The case has been
in the courts for several years, and
has been vigorously contested on
both sides. The question is raised
as to what effect the decision will
have on the Canyon canal, which
secured a right-of-way from Mr..
Dewey in 1902. The opinion of
those we'll informed in such matters
is that the right of way contract
will stand and therefore no contract
with Mr.. Whitney will be neces-
sarv.

About Stoves.

Winter will be here in a little
while and it is time to be preparing
for it. We have received nearly
three carloads of stoves every kind
from the largest range to the small
sheet iron hoa blast. They are good
ones, too-the kind that our long
experience in the business has con-
vinced us to be the best made.
We bought them for the people
who will need stoves and we don't
want to keep them. So we have
made the prices low. Call and see
our fine display and learn how little
they cost considering their splendid
quality. Hawkins, Hardware.

RAINIER CONQUERED.

Until 1870 Mount Rainier was considered impTeg-
nable In that year It was asoended by two vent
uHesorne souls. who took their lives, alpenstocks
and rope IN their hands and set out.
From the first the trail up Mount Rainier has
been marked with blood. When p. B. Van Trump,
with General Stevens. the FIRST 10 attain the
nit were returning 10 the base the former turned
his foot as they we're passing around the crest OF
a steep bank. He fell. his alpenstock flying
from his hand. With his staff gone his body sped
down the steep decvity and struck the loose sharp
rocks II its base. His hands and face bruised
and the sharp point of rock tore an ugly cash in
his thigh. which bled profusely. This experience
oid not daunt him. however. for more than once
afterward he assembled 70 Rainier's crest.
The dangers OF Mount Rainier were freshly illus

made pilgrimage 10 the summit. The trail led
around Gibraltar. great cliff on the mountain on
