MUST PAY FOR
FEDERAL TIMBER
Mining Companies Held Up for
Cutting Logs on Public
Lands

Ceur D'Alene Qdaho), March l.
The latter part of last week 100000
feet of logs and stults were seized by
the Forest Service under orders from
Washington on the ground that the
timbers were illegally cut from Gov
ernment lands. The logs had been cut
and thrown into the north fork of the
Coeur d'A lene river. Two million feet
of logs were claimed by the Federal and
Bunker Hill and Sullivan companies.
The logs are worth at least $5 thou
sand. Saturday thelogs were released,
when the officers of the mining COM
panies agreed to pay for the logs and
stults.
Formerly mining companies were
privileged to cut timber for mining
purposes from unsurveyed lands classi-
fled as mineral land. However, the
timber could not legally be exported
or used for any other purpose than
mining. Since November, 1906, a new
ruling forbids even this use, except
through purchase. 1t is claimed the
present ruling supposes that the Bun
ker Hill and Sullivan and Federal min
ing companies partake of commercial
enterprises, inasmuch as they are now
self supporting.

ADAMS MAY WIN
HIS FREEDOM
Proves Strong AIibi For Supposed
Day of Murder SssFred
Tyler
STATES new EVIDENCE
Prosecution Has Witness it Can't Intro
duce Who Says Killing Occurred Three
Days Earlier than Supposed
SPECIAL To THE NEWS

Wallace, Idaho, March 1.-The sharp
est fight that has yet occurred in the
long trial of Steve Adams for the
murder of Fred Tyler ended thissmorn-
ing in notable victory for the defence
when Judge Wood announced that he
would overrue the petition of the State
for permission to recall Mrs. Arthur
Phillips and then open the case for the
prosecution. The testimony to be given
by Mrs. Phillips was regarded as vital
for the case of the State, it having been
discovered that the date on which she
heard the shots that killed Tyler was
Sunday, August 7, not Wednesday,
August 10, as assumed all along by the
State The defense, it is conceded,
has been able to establish strong alibi
for Adams on Wednesday, August 10,
but has left unguarded the morning of
August 7, on which date Mrs. Phillips
now claims the shooting occurred.
The States new theory is that it
would have been easy for Adams after
the shooting early in the morning to
travel to Mason cabin in time to take
part in the birthday dinner at which his
presnce is so well attested. All this
new evidence, the defense is now able
to exclude While it is believed here
that this startling change in the aspect
of the trial renders Adams conviction
of the murder of Tyler decidedly i'm
probable it is not believed he has any
chance of regaining his liberty at the
present time.
He is badly wanted by the State as
one of its most important witnesses in
the approaching trial of Meyer, Hey
wood and Pettibone, officers of the
Western Federation of Miners, for the
assassination of Ex-Governor Stunnen-
berg. At least three courses are open
to the State. 1t can hold Adams for
trial for the murder of Settler Boule,
which crime he confessed to Detective
Mcfarland, hold him as an accomplice
in the Stunnenberg murder, also men
toned in his confession. or may
him to Colorado to be tried for ing
part in blowing up the depot at Inde-
pendence, where several non-unionist
miners were killed.

MAKING CHURCH
FUND GROW
Ladies of the Sunday School As
SOciatiOn Are Busy With
Clever Plans

The ladies' of the Sunday School As
sociation have adopted very clever
plan for raising funds for the building
of the new Episcopal church in Lyons
avenue. Each member has taken
fifty cents from the church fund and
will increase it as much as possible by
the end of Lent.
Each of the ladies will adopt her own
ideas as to the manner in which she
will make the fifty cents grow into
more substantial sum. 1t is expected
that when all report after Easter, the
church fund will have considerable
addition.
Mrs. John Weber will give "guess-
ing party" this afternoon at her home
in Murry street. 1t promises to be a
very enjoyable affair, and will be the
last social function in which Mrs.
Weber will participate for some time,
as Mr.. and Mrs. Weber will leave on
Monday for a six-weeks' vacation in
Lower California. Miss Florence
Weber will accompany them, and it is
probable that John Jr., who is now at
school at Stamford, Conn, will join
them in California and return with
them to Ely at the end of their outing.
While away, they will visit Los Ange-
les. San Diego, Cataeina and other
points,,
On Monday evening, Mrs. Gilbert F.
Boreman will give 'HLenten musicale
at her Murry street home. Those who
will sing at Mrs. Boreman's are Mrs.
w. N. Bowen, Mrs. V. r. Lewis, Miss
Cali Fornia, and Messrs. Armand and
Hughes.
Mrs W. N. McGill on her return to
Ely will give an ice-cream party every
Thursday evening and Mrs. V. T. Lewis
will give musicale some time next
week.
Mrs Arthur Whitley has hit upon a
wholly original plan for making her
fifty cents grow. She is making buns
which she will sell every Thursday and
Saturday to those who like home made
buns.
Mrs. A. B. Witcher, Mrs. Arthur
4 Davies and Mrs. Arthur Scott are max
ing fancy collars and cuffs, and also

shippers, thereby reaching Chicago in
five or six days, but which suddenly
ceased after brief period.
After much questioning by Mr.. Sew
erance, Mr.. Wells admitted that the
Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe had
protested against the continuance of
the service, but he went on to declare
that the service became impossible ow-
ing to the bad tracks and that the road
had become in bad physical condition.
Mr.. Wells could not say that con-
signments largely increased as a result
OF the fast service, but he admitted
that business fell off when the fast
train service was discontinued.
Mr. Lane asked who ordered the SER
vice stopped. Mr.. Wells replied that
he did not, that the service just wore
itself out; that he did not see any
complaints, but guessed they were
made.
In reply to another question by Com
missioner Lane, Mr.. Wells admitted
that Union Pacific men had solicited
business In the territory of the South
ern Pacific.
AT this point in the hearing a mes
senger boy handed Mr.. Lane tele-
gram. After reading the message Mr..
Lane announced recess of ten min
utes and held a conversation with Mr..
Severance. While this conference was
in progress a railroad employe who
had been subpoenaed was overheard
to remark that "if they pay much more
attention to these big fish they will not
reach US small fry, and 1 will be
mighty glad of it."
A few minutes later word was quiet
ly passed around that the telegram
which Commissioner Lane had received
conveyed the bad news that his wife,
who is in Washington and whose
health has not been good for some
time. was seriously Ill and that the
hearing would come to a close with
Fridays session.
Mr. Wells. who had remained in the
witness chair during the recess was
excused, and j. Ross Clark again was
called. He said that since the salt
Lake road had been In operation rates
to Utah common points had been re-
duced materially and that a further re-
duction OF 1S cents per hundred would
go into effect Saturday.
Mr.. Severance brought out the fact
that this reduction was In class rates.
which do not include fruit, and that
the citrus fruit rate had never been
reduced He also secured an admission
that the Southern Pacific had made the
same rate about month ago and that
the Salt Lake merely was following in
the footsteps OF the Southern Pacific.
Mr.. Clark said his road had recently
ordered number of engines and that
the motive power would be increased
materially within brief time.
rs 1t your intention then to resume
the six-day fruit service to Chicago?"
asked Mr. Severance.
"No" slowly answered Mr.. Clark.
why not?" asked Judge Kelly,
sharply.
1T Is too expensive" replied Mr..
Clark.
Mr.. Clark then was excused. and Mr..

Severance called T. H. Phillips, an old
time railroad man and now traffic
manager of the California fruit ex-
change. He said the exchange shipped
over all lines, but that the large pro-
portion of it's shipments went over the
Southern Pacific Sunset route.
| He could not tell why the rate on
| lemons was 81 per box while that for
oranges was $1.25, but he presumed It
was because of an effort to help the
| fruit men compete with foreign fruit.
Mr. Phillips declared that the ex-
change had not been able to get enough
cars and that the shortage is and has
been two to three thousand cars per
| day since November 1, mostly from the
| Southern Pacific, and the least from
the Santa Fe. He said that this was
resulting in great loss to the growers
and shippers.
Last year the Southern Pacific pro-
tested against the routing of fruit over
the Salt Lake from houses on the lines
of the Southern Pacific but this year
| there had been no such protests.
He admitted that last Friday he re-
| ceived a notice from the Southern Pa
cific not to pick more oranges until
further notice.
Little in II for Fruit Men
F. @. Story, president of the Cali
fornia fruit exchange and representing
other exchanges and associations, said
that the fast train service of the Salt
Lake had been of great value to the
fruit men.
He declared that the rates for citrus
| fruit are too high and that half or two
thirds of the growers in Southern Cali
| fornia make little or nothing. The
! railroads have adopted regulations
which virtually increase the rates
even above those of seven or eight
for delay in transit but not when the
fruit remains In the packing houses.
b. A. Woodford, general manager of
the California fruit exchange, said that
the rate for fruit compared with other
commodities was too high. The rate on
lemons had been reduced in order to
encourage the industry and 1t had
helped materially. Even this low rate
was high enough.
Mr.. Dunno tried to get Mr.. Wood
ford to admit that the rate on oranges
the service was adequate, but the wit
ness declared that the rate was too
high, even with excellent service
Commissioner Lane then announced
that he had been imperatively sum-
moned to Washington, that the hearing
would be adjourned until February 25
in New York, and that those witnesses
who had been .subpoenaed and had not
testified would be excused unless 1t was
later declared that their testimony was
necessary.
He stated that the attorneys had as
sured him that all the points contem-
plated had been covered and that fur
ther evidence only would be cumula-
tive.
Mr.. Lane took the night train for the
east.

bon said in reply to questions that at
the date of the contract the Salt Lake
road had done much surveying and
considerable construction work. 1t was
the original intention to construct an
independent line.
Mr.. Gibbon told of the trouble met
in the Meadow valley wash in Nevada,
in which some construction work had
been done by subsidiary company of
the Union Pacific interests-the Ore
gon Short Line. The activity on the
part of the Oregon Short Line took
place, Mr.. Glbbon said, Immediately
upon the fact becoming known that
the Salt Lake road contemplated
building.
Resulted in Merger
In response to questions Mr.. Gibbon
told of the trouble with the Oregon
Short Line, which had secured the con-
troll of the Nevada Pacific, in the
Meadow valley wash, and he went
over much of the ground covered by
Mr.. Clark.
He said that the opposing interests
had tied each other up in litigation,
and while one of the suits was in prog
ress the witness, then general counsel
for the Salt Lake, and Judge Kelly, at
that time general counsel for the
Union Pacific. discussed the affair and
came to the conclusion that If either
road secured the prior right through
the wash the other could not be kept
out, AS a result. II was agreed 10
form a joint surveying party to survey
two lines of roads through the wash to
the best advantage OF each.
This harmonious beginning, said Mr..
Gibbon, finally resulted In the arrange
ment by which both interests Joined In
building the one line. He did not
know who suggested the arrangement,
but he knew that II was a mutual af-
fair. His company realized that II
could not hope to exist paralleled by
another road and one which would be
owned by interests with which the Salt
Lake hoped 10 work in harmony as re-
