DROP WOOD TO SIS.
Thousands of Cords of Drift to Be
Put on the Market.

The price of wood cut in 16-inch
lengths, delivered to any part of the
city, has been placed at $5 per cord
by parties who were engaged in
catching driftwood and are now cut
ting the same in stove lengths to
supply the city trade.
The greater part of the wood is
made from new railroad ties and
sawlogs that escaped from Pine
creek, in the Potlatch section, and
from the North Fork
What effect the new price quoted
hy the wood catchers will have upon
the price quoted by local fuel deal
ers is not known, but it is believed
that regular dealers will be COM
PEELED to meet the cut, as the quail
ty of the wood collected is equal to
that offered in the markets, and
thousands of cords were secured and
will be placed on the market during
the next few weeks.

Use POISON TO
KILL GYPSIES

VIENNA, March 20.-Farmers OF
Crotia and Hungary are reported to
have adopted the remedy of scatter
ing poison to rid themselves of
plague of gypsies. Nineteen Zngari,
comprising an entire band. died sud-
denly near Tompokevac, Crotia, last
week, after eating portions Ct 8 cow
which they found dead in forest.
II was afterwards found that the
body of the COW had been saturated
with poison. In a neighboring dis
tglct 16 gypsies belonging to an
other band died after eating hares
which had been poisoned by the
farmers and left lying in the fields.
Both Crotia and Hungary are
overrun with gypsies, who rob trav-
elers, levy blackmail, burn lonely
farmhouses. and are often accused of
stealing children. The authorities
have been unable to drive them from
the country. and imprisonment APP
parently has no effect on them,

AGED men IN

CHICAGO, March 20.-A suicide
pact involving probably a dozen in
mates of the Bethesda home for the

the death of John Koch, who COM
mitted suicide yesterday after ridi-
culing John Hazelbach, who failed
in the attempt at self-destruction.
1t is supposed that the notice of

it was impossible to thoroughly in
spect the manner in which the prep
aration is compounded it is difficult
tc secure the best pavement. Mr..
Graves referred to the necessity Of
an. excellent foundation because of
the street disturbances, and said
brick pavement was the most easily
taken up and replaced.
Attorney G. w Tannahill stated
that he represented a number of
property owners and had discussed
the paving question with the cleo
tric railroad company and with En-
g.neer Mexican. He said his people
would be favorable to an asphalt
pavement.

that he believed the people of Lew

careful of entering into contracts

DIR. J. B. Morris: 81 don't know
what | want, and wish someone
would tell me. If the wood blocks
can be secured at home and are a
suitable pavement, it will not only
he cheaper, but also leave the money
here. The question is this: When
the petitions for the pavement were
circulated certain representations as
to cost were submitted to the people
and while we wanted the pavement
we did not want it, as we did not
feel like assuming the additional
burden, but the decision was finally
made to try and pave. Now comes
the question of increasing this cost
by about 40 per cent, and we are

BRANCH line
TO NEzPERCE
WELL-DEFINED PLAN OF THE
NORTHERN PACIFIC TO TAP
PRAIRIE SECTION AND CON-
Meet WITH HILL LINE.

The town of Nczperce will have a
railroad connection with the Lewis
ton-Grangeyille line in time to de-
liver the grain crop of the present
season. according to a reliable report
which is in circulation today in rail-
road circles
1t has been definitely learned that
representatives. of the railroad inter-
ests have visited the town of Nez-
perce, where a meeting with busi-
ness men was held last week and a
proposition made by which the
Northern Pacific company would
construct and operate the line.
The people have been given the
choice of subscribing $4,000 to be
paid when the road is completed or
to construct the grade and the rail-
road company would install the ties,
steel and rolling stock. The matter
was generally discussed at q meeting
Of business men held in Nezperce
last week, but no definite action has
been taken.
The move is said to be strictly
Northern Pacific and entirely inde-
pendent of the joint construction
between Riparia and Grangeville. 1t
is said to be in line with the policy
OF the Northern Pacific announced
several months ago, when it was
stated the plans for serving the
prairie country provided for a sys-
tenn of branch lines that would reach
into every section of the tonnage
producing country
1t is believed the cunning hand of
Jim Hill in locating the road out OF
Culdesac is now being shown and
when the plans are completed the
Northern Pacific people will have a
+, system of short branch lines to-
gather the tonnage which will se-
cure an outlet over the joint line
and become Northern Pacific busi-
ness as soon as the outside junction
is reached. The building of the
branch line from Vollmer into the
Craig mountain timber country by
the Northwestern Lumber company
is said to be in line with the Hill
policy, and the building of the Nez-
perce line with NeZperce citizens as
stockholders would occasion the or
ganization of the holding company
that would, in a measure, cover the
Northern Pacifc's identity. The re-
cent act on of the Hill interests in
excluding the Hartman people
from the Sound cities would suggest
the struggle for supremacy in the
territory of the Northwest that is
soon to ensue, and to further fortify
the Northern Paciffc against Har-
r!man invasion II Is believed the
proposal received by the business
men of Nezperce IS but the Begin
ming of an active campaign in the
central Idaho territory
The logic of the move on the part
of the Northern Pacific is better un-
derstood when it is remembered the
Q. r. & n. company has a survey
, irto the Nezperce section by way OF
! Little Canyon and for the past sew
elal months the people have been
asking what the Hartman road ex-
pected to do when it reached Lew
iston. There have been rumors OF
n norcpoct with the milwaukee, road
to build the Butte cutoff, and with
these plans feeder into the prairie
country via Little canyon has been
suggested.
