When asked as to the electric rail-
road between Wallace and Spokane,
he said: az do not know who lie be-
hind the movement, but they have a
fine line. The grade is good and l

kane. Their line comes down
through Fourth of July canyon and
their right of way covers enough
ground to forbid any other company
constructing line through the same
pass. They have a corner on that and
will undoubtedly do a great business,
for the people Of the Occur d'Alenes
are very active. Running west from
Occur d'Alene, their line parallels
the Occur d'Alene & Spokane Rail
way on the south as far as Greenacres,
here it curves to the south and heads
straight for Spokane. II is the in
tsntion of the company to enter Spo-
kane on Sprague avenue, cutting off
all loops, giving them better time
between the two cities by about five
minutes over any other line.

The house went into committee of
the whole to consider the railroad
commission bill, with Freehafer In
the chair. For an hour the reading
proceeded listlessly, as far as section
SO of the bill. An interesting event
finally broke the monotony. john
ston made an able address, saying
that If the commission was to be made
a success it would have to have the
very best men at it's head; men who
were capable through their natural
ability and their experience, to take
charge of a division of one of the big
railroads. Cheap men would be val
ueless, as they would not know what
to do with the commission, how to
estimate the cost of railroads, or other
duties of the commission. He wanted
to see the men wen paid. He
thought the amendment submitted by
the author of the bill cutting the
salary of the commissioners from
$4,000 to $4,000 was not judicious;
he himself would favor doubling it
and make it $4,000, and to get the
right kind of men for the place.
Both houses adjourned last evening
until Monday, and number of mem
bers left for their hons.
Nothing was developed with refer
enCe to the instruction in the house.
Chairman Brady left this afternoon

will be very advantageous to us in

shorter than the one in use and will
not only save us much in the cost OF

SaCtiOnS

Spokane, Wash, Feb. 2.-On the
strength Of evidence discovered the
first OF last month, suit has been
brought by B. p. Munson, lumber
man Of Minneapolis, against the D.
R. Lewis Lumber company, a Wash
ington corporation, whose plant 10 sit
uated at Occur d'Alene, Idaho, asking
that his stock Of s75, 900 In the total
capitalization Of $500, 900, be res
cinded on the ground OF fraud. Pa
pers in the suit were filed yesterday
in the United States circuit court by
Judge J. f. MCGEE and Attorney Il.
Y. Merritt, both Of Minneapolis, who
are In Spokane representing the inter.
ests Of MIR. Munson.
The first charge Of fraud made by
the Minneapolis stockholder is that
while he was induced to invest e76,.
600 in the company ON the statement
that the stock of the company was
paid in full and in cash, as . matter
Of fact, half Of the stock owned orig
inally by Byron r. Lewis and others
had been doubled and nothing what
ever paid for the increase.
DETAILS OF JUGGLING.
The shares held before the alleged
increase were 440 by B. X. Lewis.
100 by John Cronan, 70 by n. N.
Lindberg,l70 by II. L. Wells and 80
by g. N. Wells. This stock, totaling
742 shares, lie said to have been the
only portion that was doubled.
It is charged further in the com.
plant that Mr.. Lewis represented the
company to have $3.50, 600 invested
in pine lands near Occur d'Alene,
the total number Of feet being 2O0,-
900, 900 Of both white and yellow
pine, while as a matter OF fact the
amount invested did not exceed $685..
900 and the amount Of pine did moi
exceed 5, 200, 900 feet.
WORTHLESS SCRIP.
b. X. Lewis is also charged with
representing that the company had
S25, 900 worth Of Cover nment scrip
with which pine land could be- To-
Gated. This scrip, the complaint al.
leges, having been fraudulently OBJ.
tanned, was absolutely worthless.
On the strength of these allegations
made by Mr.. Lewis, IL Is said that
Mr.. Munson was induced to invest
the s75, 900 In the b. X. Lewis Lum.
Der company, so that In making the
allegations Mr.. Lewis is charged with

The door opened and in walked a
small boy about IL years of age,
shivering with the cold, for he was
poorly dressed. He stopped a NOM
emit and then marched straight to the
clerks desk and called for a room.
This occurred at the Hotel Idaho last
evening. He was asked why he did
not stay at home, and replied that an
aunt and two uncles. whom he had
never seen before had come to visit
them that evening and that his mother
had given him % cents and told him
to go TO the neighbors and get bed.
The conversation attracted the atten-
ton Of o. Gregory Strong, manager
Of surety bonds and liability insur-
ance department for the Dahms &
Wheeler company Of Spokane, who
was in the hotel at the time. Mr..
Strong was seated by the fireplace, and
on hearing the boy state that he had
bean turned out by his mother, was
ct once interested.
ALI persons in the lobby were at.
tracted by the story and crowded
around the boy, firing questions at him
until he became bewildered. He said
his name was Irving and that be was
hungry. He was invited into the
dining room to eat, but refused.
Finally Mr.. Strong and Mr.. Smell 90
cured piece Of pie and q glass Of
milk and the boy made way with IL
after much cOaxing. he wanted q
room and Mr.. Strong kindly offered
to pay for the same and after some
discussion stated that he would take
the boy In with him. More discus
sion followed and IL was decided Il
take the boy home and ascertain
whether or not his story was true.
Mr.. Strong and Mr.. Smell hired {
cutter and the boy stated that b
lived ON Silver beach, 30 they started
and drove as far as the NOVEL; place
Mr.. Strong asked the boy IL this va

Boise, Idaho, Feb. I'm the sem
ate yesterday discussion was aroused
during the consideration of senate
bill No. %, by Truitt, providing that
any money in the agricultural college
fund be transferred to the college de.
partment of the state university.
Senator Truitt had explained the pro-
visions and purposes of the bill at
length when Senator Macbeth inquired
why its provisions had not been APP
plicable permanently instead Of for
only two years. He suggested that
there was a political scheme back of
it to get an agricultural college started
in the southern part of the state.
Senator MCCIear said that il an ag-
ricultural college was located he saw
no reason why it should not be done
in connection with the State Univer-
sity at Moscow.
Senator Butler declared that the
south was the proper place for such a
school If one was to be established.
but that he would under no CiTCum-
stances vote for such a college any.
where at present.
Senator Day rose to point of or
der, holding teat all his discussion
about an agricultural college was Out

mously, as did senate bill No. 30, BY
