Boise, March 27.-As a sequal to the
work of the grand jury, which has
been in session for two weeks, and
which has returned two reports to the
court, presumably indictments in
wholesale quantities, three arrests
were made last night-John I. Wells
of 912 Franklin, Patrick H. Downs of
80 Warm Springs avenue, and L. N.
Pritchard of 200 North Fifth, all of
Boise
The men are held for alleged ir-
reguIarities in timber lands in Boise
county, under the general charge Of
conspiracy. They are under restraint
by the United States marshal: not in
jail. but held under surveillance. with
$4,000 fixed as the amount for their
ball. They have not been arraigned
In court, and their attorneys have not
seen their indictments. Messrs. Haw-
ley. Puckett and Hawley, and Frank
Martin will defend them in the courts.
1t Is given out by the marshal that
they may be released tomorrow. prob
ably under BAIL
Another batch of reports was hand
gu III " tle cOuTt yesterday, supposed
to he indictments. 1t was hardly as
bulky as the first report, but still
contained possibly 90 pages of closely
typewriter manuscript. AS there are
still some witnesses here from Lewis
ton, one of whom, George Williams,
has been here from the first, and some
other northern witnesses have been be-
fore the jury since the first report
was made, 1t is fair assumption that
there is still something coming for
other men in the north.
1t would be idle speculation to guess
who might be affected by the indict-
ments or informations brought in yes
terday 1t is known, however, that the
operations of the Barber Lumber COM
pany and the Payette Lumber COM
pany both of which have operated in
Boise or Washington counties, have
been under investigation. Whether
the indictments touch on any of their
operations, is a matter for speculation.

GRAVITY WATER TURNED ON.
Wailn Walla Discards Her Old Pump
ing Stations.

Walla Walla, March 27.-Pumping
stations are a thing of the past in
Walla Walla. The last were discon-
tinued this morning. Water from the
new system is now all over the city
except the territory south of Alder
and west of Park streets. This por-
ton will be supplied with upper Mill
creek "oxyhydro" as soon as the
proper connections can be made.
1t has been estimated the saving to
the city by elimination of the pump
ing stations will be no less than $40
day or 5000 a month This includes
the salary of four men and repairs,
power. etc.
The pressure at Second and Main
streets is now but 56 pounds. This
pressure will be maintained until thu
standpipe is put in. when the wood
pipe will be able to stand a pressure
of over 100 pounds.

Range Leasing Debate.
During the meeting yesterday an ex-
tended discussion occurred upon the
subject of the leasing of the public
ranges. Through the failure Of the

ate-it being lost on a point of order
the subject of leg Station regarding
the ranges has gone over until next
session. In the meantime the propo-
sition is being discussed b. the stock
men and yesterday the matter was
brought before the local association.
resolution opposing the Burkett
bill and favoring the Clark bill, which
provides for the leasing of the ranges
under state control, was introduced
by Douglas Belts. The resolution, II
passed. would have committed the as
sociation to work, through the con-
gressional delegation, for the passage
of the Clark bill or similar measure.
However, the members were found to
differ in opinion upon the subject yes
terday, and it was finally decided to
postpone action on the resolution until
the next meeting which is to be held
here on the evening of May 21.
In the discussion of the resolution
1t was held by those favoring state
control of the leasing that by such a
plan the individual needs of each state
could be better served by reason of
the fact that local people would have
charge of the matter.
However, the Burkett bill was an
measure and as the
policy of the government. during the
present administration at least, has
been to extend its powers rather than
INIT them, it was urged by those op-
posing the resolution that there is no
hope of securing state control. This
stand was taken by Secretary Dan P.
Smythe, who reported at length upon
his recent trip to Washington. where
lie went for the purpose Of meeting
