Much Material Arriving for Road.

A dispatch from Culdesac
Wednesday says.
Two miles of extra side track
have been built in the Culdesac
railroad yards to hold the inn
mense amount of material for
the construction of the prairie
extension of the Northern Paci-
fic, and even this extra trackage
is hardly adequate. All of the
bridge timbers, ties, etc., are be-
ing unloaded in the yards and
taken by the work train to the
end of the new road as progress
is made by the tracklaying crew.
There are now about a dozen
carloads of steel in the yards
here ready to be used in the
construction of the great Lawyer
Canyon viaduct. Some of the
girders require two fiat cars to
hold them. None of the steel
will be unloaded in Culdesac but
will be taken to the bridge site
before it is handled again.
The steel rails have now been
laid for a distance of about three
miles out of town and for five or
six miles bridges have been
finished. The work train is
kept busy during the day carry
ing material to the large track
laying crew, which is progress
ing very rapidly up the noun
tain.

When questioned yesterday re-
garding the statement published
in Wednesdays Lewiston Trib-
une concerning the founding of
a Jesuit college here Rev. Father
Berthold informed the editor of
the CHRONICLE that the state
ment was a falsehood of the
whole cloth and further said that
the former reports printed by
the Tribune and other papers
were false and misleading and
instead of being founded on facts
were apparently the eminations
of the brains of certain busy
bodies. In order to give to the
public only the truth Rev.

Build "A
Convent Here
Catholic Sisters From CoItony
WASH, Will Erect a Convent
Near Cottonwood on Land Pur-
chased For That Purpose.

We are able this week to an
nounce to our readers a matter
of considerable import to Cotton
wood and vicinity, namely, the
starting of a Catholic convent
near this city. It has been ap-
parent for some time that the
Catholic convent at Cotton,
Wash, was not adequate and
another would have to be built
and with this in view the Sisters
have purchased land southwest
of this place and last week the
Mother Superior with a few
Sisters came over from Cotton to
put things in shape on their
place. Late last fall small adj
dition was built to the residence
on their land, which will be used
for the present and as soon as
conditions will permit a new
convent building will be erected
there. This Order is we'll known
to the residents of this section
as two Sisters of the Order have
been teaching in the parochial
school here for the past two
years to the entire satisfaction
of the school pataons.

Railroad Contractors Getting Busy

contract has been let to Ander-
son & Hanley and between this
and the Johnson contract lies
another two-mile contract which
has been let to other parties.
Mr.. Emmons has the contract
for the entire distance from the
johnson contract near Fem to
Grangeville and also expects to
have a full force of men at work
there in the very near future.
A month more at the most will
see men strung all along the line
from this place to GrangeVille
and the way the grade will be
thrown up into shape will be far
from slow. That it will be ready
to receive the rails by the
time the bridge across Lawyers
canyon is completed and the
track laid to Cottonwood there is
little doubt and it is quite prob
able the residents of the county
seat will see the smoke of the
iron horse before the year 1907
fades into history.

The KOOskia Tramway WreCke d.

A special from Kooskia to the
Lewiston Tribune dated April 20
says:
With a roar that could be
heard for miles the Kooskia
tramway was completely des-
troyed here today through the
parting of a granulated cable on
the upper terminal and it will be
six weeks before the hundred
carloads of grain at the top of
hill can be shipped. Two men,
Doc Mclaughlin and Chester
Talcott, narrowly escaped with
their lives as a result of the acci-
dent.
The tramway was built sever
al years ago at a cost of $40, 900
and the present damage is esti-
mated to be about $4,000. When
the heavy cable parted the 80
buckets, half of which contained
seven sacks each, crashed down
the hill for a distance of half a
mile, destroying the lower
terminal derricks, the stationary
Fable and the running gears.
Talcott had just entered one of
he buckets to ride to the top
when the accident occurred and
succeeded in saving himself from
injury only by the merest chance.
Mclaughlin detected the break
Immediately and successfully
lodged the swinging end of the
Fable. It is said to be one of the
worst breaks to occur in the
northwest and it will be six
weeks before it can be put in
unning order again.

The New Road Law.

The road law passed by the
last Legislature adds to the
duties Of County Commissioners,
without increasing the salaries
of these officials, whose pay be-
fore was too small. The law re-
quires their personal visitation
and inspection of public roads in
their respective districts, gives
them control over district road
overseers, and provides for the
holding Of special meetings for
the consideration of road ques-
tions, and provides penalties for
failure on the part of the Com
missiones to perform their duties
as specified.
The Commissioners shall meet
in special session on the second
Monday of May and September
for the consideration of questions
pertaining to their new duties.
Each member of the board must
submit report of the condition
of the roads in his district, the
work needed thereon and an
estimate of the cost to be incurr-
ed.
Any County Commissioner
who shall wiIIfully or negligent
ly fail to perform any of the
duties described in the bill will
be subjected to a fine of not less
than $50 or more than 5000, olbe
re:o We red upon his official bond
by action brought by the Prose-
cutting Attorney of the county
wherein the delinquent Commits
sioner resides.

The weather today is rather cool
and gives indications of rain.
Charlie Nader has started
work at his brick yard on the
Bosse farm west of town and in
a few weeks more will have
things in shape to begin making
brick on a large scale. He will
probably burn two or three big
kilns this year. The brick ma
chine will be run with a steam
engine and eight or ten men will
be employed at the yard.

Fruit Not Yet Damaged Here.

Quite a heavy frost visited the
country last Friday night but so
far we have heard of no damage
being done to fruit in Idaho.
Along the rivers where the
fruit trees were almost in full
bloom a heavy fog kept the frost
from doing any damage and on
the higher prairies the fruit was
not far enough along to be dam
aged by the frost. It is greatly
to be hoped that the frosty period
is now past as the fruit crop for
the last two years has been cut
very short by late frosts and it
would be decidedly disasterous
to many should it be repeated
this year. Atpresent indications
for an exceptionally heavy fruit
crop in Idaho are extremely good
and if no late frosts occur to
change the conditions everyone
will have an opportunity to Sc
cure plenty of fruit for all pur-
poses this year. Reports from
Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma
and Colorado state that hard
frosts have killed most of the
fruit crop in those states hence
it is all the more to be hoped
that Idaho be allowed to produce
a full crop of the kind this sea-
son.

Railroad Hospital to Move Here.

It is given out here by railroad
men who are in position to know
that the railroad hospital for the
prairie extension of the Northern
Pacific is soon to be moved from
Culdesac to Cottonwood, the
reason for moving being that
most of the work near the form
er place being completed and in
a few weeks the majority of
men employed along the line
will be at work between Lawyers s
canyon and Grangeville and
Cottonwood will be the most
central point for the hospital.
DR.. Naramore, who has been in
charge of the hospital at Guide
sac, will move to this place and
act in the same capacity here.
LATER. "A report from Guide
sac states that it is learned there
from headquarters that the hos
pital will not be moved to this
place until the latter part of May
or early in June.

It is astounding what an
agreeable change a little paint
and a few hours work will
make in the looks of a place but
one has only to take note of the
many changes being effected in
Cottonwood this spring to realize
its truthfulness. There are still
however a number of houses in
our city that can stand such a
change and it is to be hoped
they will be treated to it before
long. A fresh coat of paint
often adds several hundred dol
lars to the value of a place in the
eyes of a prospective purchaser
besides doing much to improve
the appearance of the town in
general.
