Total of Shares Sold Approaches the
Low Record for Period of
Near-0fferings Scarcer.

NEW YORK. June 1.-THE stock
market remained In rut today. the
total shares sold continuing about
the low record OF over a year past.
Even with the shrunken total the
proposition of activity in three or
-four of the speculative favorites was
maintained TO the detriment IN the
comparison of the usual run of
stocks. This favoritism came from
the small room traders. there being
no other appreciate participation in
the market Offerings for sale were
even scarcer than the scanty demand
and prices in consequence We're firm
ly held This was partly in sympa-
thy with the strength of one or two
stocks from special causes. Missouri
Pacific advanced smartly on the
parting assurance of the president of
the company that the list of receiver
ships In the group OF properties dom
mated by his family had been com
pleted. Some remnant of uncovered
short interest seemed TO be caught in
the stock and helped to the recovery
An advance in the price of copper
in London and at the local metal ex-
changes was the basis for the rise in
IA group of stocks concerned in that
industry. The advancing tendency
of the price OF copper was made to
contrast with the cnt in the price OF
steel products reported over night in
the benefit now resulting from the
earlier response OF the copper mar
ket to diminish demand by mark
ing down of prices. Opinion over the
effects on the steel market of the
price cut remained much confused.
There were reports from Pittsburg
that consumers were disposed TO take
hold at the present level. United
States Steel sold minus the quarterly
dividend OF half of one per cent and
recovered that amount before mid
day.
The advertisement of Union Pacific
bond subscription centered attention
on that subject and prompted walt
ing attitude pending knowledge of
the outcome of the sale. The fall
i'm the premium over the subscription
price which has ruled In the curb
market for the new bonds was not
received as favorable symptom OF
the force of the public demand.
The fact that the prospectus makes
no fixed division of allotments be-
tween New York and London, ac-
cording TO custom. was interpreted as
"A precaution to enable advantage to
be taken of the proportions OF the de-
mand which might develop in the two
markets. The reduced dividend rate
on Western Union stock had been
adequately foreseen, the fact of pay
ment being made in cash instead OF
in stock as for the two previous divi-
dends being accepted apparently as
compensation in part for the redue-
ton in the rate.

STOCKS NEITHER IN
DEMAND NOR PUSHED
ON SALE MARKET

Yesterday was another dead one on
the markets. A good feature attend
ing these days of steadily declining
activity is that the prices are for the
most part holding stready throughout
the list. While there is no demand
for stocks there is no pressure for
sale. Investors are keeping the is
sues they have acquired. The fact
tells plainly of the confidence that is
entertained of advance in prices dur
ing the summer Generally 1t is ac-
eepted that as soon as the presiden-
tial conventions are over there will
be renewal of activity.
Cumberland Ely and Nevada Con-
solidated are among the stocks which
are due to respond to the earliest i'm
provement In general conditions and
to the first change on the market in
the direction of renewed activity.
Those who figure that way and act
accordingly, take on all of these two
stocks at present prices that they
can. will make no mistake. New York
closing prices yesterday were as fol-
lows.

the hem is trimmed with very fine

DECISION AFFECTS
ELMORE RANCHERS
Recent Ruling Of Supreme Court
Regarding Island Property
on Nayigable Streams.

The case of Johnson VS.. john
son, in which a petition for a
re-hearing has recently been
filed in the Supreme court, Is
attracting considerable atten-
ton among local attorneys and
also among Elmore county
ranchers along the Snake river,
or on islands in that stream.
The decision in that case is to
the effect that a riparian owner
holds, by reason Of his owner
ship of the land along the bank,
the title to any land lying on is
lands in the stream, to the
tread of that stream. 1t fol-
lows, in consequence Of this de-
cision, chat those who have filed
on land embraced within these
islands cannot hold their claims
against the riparian owners.
This decision, if it is adhered to
#by the court in the future, will
conflict seriously with the prac-
tice of the Government Land
office in such cases. 1t has al
ways been the rule of the gov
ernment to refuse to allow a
man to file on a. tract which is
to include parts of land separ-
ated by a stream. According
to this decision, although a man
cannot file on a tract thus di-
vided, he will get the whole
tractjustthe same, even though
his filing was for the full allow
ance of acreage. The action of
the court on the re-hearing of
this is awaited with much in
.terest.

DAVID M. holland
DEAD AT PINE
Well Known and Much Respected
Postmaster Of Mining Camp
Succumbs to Pneumonia.

Rev. C. E. Mason, the pastor
of the local Congregational
church, spent Wednesday of
last week at the little mining
camp of Pine, where he conduct
ed the funeral services over the
body Of the late David M. No
land, who died there on the
Sunday preceding, Of pneumon-
ia, the result of a severe cold
contracted at the time of the
disastrous confagration at Pine
last November. The services
were quite largely attended,
both by the people Of the i'm
mediate vicinity, and by ac-
|quaintances from Trinity and
other nearby camps. Mr.. No
land was born in Wooster, Ohio,
January 8, 1888, and at the
time of his death was two
months and twenty-seven days
past seventy years of age. He
lived the greater part of his
life at Green Bay, Wisconsin,
but came to Idaho five years
ago and took up a homestead
near Castle Creek. While there
he served as the first .postmast-
.er of that place and last Nov
ember, when he became a resi-
dent of Pine, he was appointed
to the same position for that
place.
His wife died in 1900, short
|ly before his coming to this
state. He leaves two sons, Ell
lis A. holland of Green Bay,
Wisconsin, and George P. No
land, who lived with him at
Pine. He leaves a daughter,
Mrs. Lewis Peterson, who lives
at Green Bay, and also a broth
er and two sisters, none Of whom
live in this state.

that a rate Of one fare for the

for this occasion. The mem

this somewhat in detail, says an
experienced traveller in the

people, especially women, seem
to have a notion that consul
is created for their special bene-
fit; and one of the most serious
troubles these men have is with
those, who, If their money runs
short, expect the consul to fur

get insulting and threatening if
it is not done. The same may
be said in regard to our ambas-

ASSAULT CASE
PROCEEDS SLOWLY.
Many Talesman Examined to Get
Satisfactory Jury in Clark Case
Special Venire Is Called.

The second week Of the April
term of the District court for
Elmore county has seen but lit
tie accomplished. When court
convened at ten o'clock Monday
morning there were a few
small matters to- take the at
tention Of the il dge, but very
soon the work OF selecting a
jury to try James A. Clark, ac-
cused of assault with intent to
commit murder upon the per-
son of Ed Breyer, was COM
menced. The clerk called the
roll of those who had been sum-
rnoned for jury duty at this
term, finding all present but
two, who had been excused on
account of illness. The box
was then filled, and the examin-
alton by the opposing attorneys
commenced. All through the
morning this wedding out pro-
cess continued, until shortly be-
fore noon the names on the reg
ular panel were exhausted.
The Court then announced the
adjournment of this case until
7:30 In the evening, and in
structed the sheriff to call out
a special venire at that time.
In the evening the same pro-
cess was continued and at ten
O'Clock court again adjourned
with the jury still incomplete,
and but few names on the spe-
cial panel still remaining un-
