NEW WELL A SUCCESS
Source of Post Falls Water Supply
Found Satisfactory,

The Post Falls Water company
tested its we'll last week. They Dor.
rowed centrifugal pump and in
stalled it on The south side OF the
river, where the we'll IS located. A
power line was run across there and
connections made. The current was
turned on and the pump raised over
800 gallons Of water per minute. The
water was lowered seven inches IN
the we'll, but after that the pump
ran steadily for fifteen minutes with
out lowering the water. In 20 seconds
after the pump stopped the we'll was
again full OF water. This we'll will
supply the town with water.

N HANDS Of RECEIVER
Lewis Savmill and Logging
Road Go to Wall.
LIABILITIES ARE Ss5O,Ooo
Inability to ) Raise Money Cause
Of the Trouble.

The Il. II. Lewis Lumber company
OF Occur d'Alene and the Idaho &
Northwestern Railway company,
subsidiary corporation, have failed
and are now in the hands Of u receiver.
Fred B. Morrill, Of Spokane, general
counsellor for the two companies, was
appointed receiver, at the request ef
the Exchange National bank OF
Occur d'Alene, one OF the heaviest
creditors.
1t IL claimed that the failure, due
to the recent panic and the inability
of the companies to raise money to
meet their obligations, has been ex-
pected for some time. The liabilities
OF the two companies are estimated
at about $3.50, 900 and the assets
81, 100000. In the papers flled in
the district court here last Saturday
by the Exchange National bank 1t is
alleged that the bank holds promis-
sOrv notes for 1872, 500 all due and
unpaid, besides balance OF $2S, ,962.-
So, also due and unpaid.
! The papers 10 the action against
the Idaho s. Northwestern Railway
company allege that that company
owes the bank balance of $l265.87
and knows Of the company being 10
debted in various sums to different
parties aggregating Sass
Besides the Exchange National
bank, the First National bank Of
Occur d'Alene and the Fidelity
National bank of Spokane are said to
he among the heaviest creditors of
the two companies. There are also
many other creditors, and there was
{! due on April 10, IN time checks alone
between $50, 900 and s75, 900.
Fred b. Morrill,, receiver, died his
bond in Rathdrum on Monday in the
sum OF $4,000 each for the two
companies.
| It had been alleged that B. r.
Lewis had been in the east endeavor.
| ing to negotiate loan to take up the
time checks when they became due,
but this he denies. The time checks
were due on April 10, on which day
about 200 laborers quit work aud de-
manded their money. They were
told there was no money, that they
would have to wait. Angry threats
were made by some of the men and a
riot or the destruction of the mlH
was feared. Sheriff Mcdonald, De
putty Adams and County Attorney
Potts were sent for and their presense
Friday night had a quieting influence.
The men had been paid in time
checks since last fall and all winter
have been unable to get any money
except by selling their checks at a
discount Of so percent.
People from Occur d'Alene this
week take gloomy view Of the situa'
tion. The receiyership is expected tc
last from four to six months; the
mill is closed and the streets of Coeul
d'Alene are filed with idle men.

Law North of 53

No longer can it be said "that there's no law of God nor man runs north of 53." Laws are as vigorously enforced close to the Arctic circle as they are in the most densely populated ceuters, and it is probable that, aside from any law enforcement, men respect the rights of others here more than i'm any other commonwealth under the stars and stripes. The trickstcr will of course, continue to take advantage of the nnwary, but no man who comes here and attends strictly to his own business and does not become too con- fidential with strangers, need have fear that his rights are going to be trampled upon. The dance halls are running, but the gambling is only con- ducted secretly in darkened rooms apd in places to which the innocent are not easily lured.-Nome Nugget.

Money For Roads

Lieutenant Samuel Orchard, of the Road commission. is in receipt of ad- vices that cause him to be quite hope full that the requisition for S4O0,O0O for carving on the work of road building in Alaska will be allowed by congress. The estimates for the work contemplat- ed by the commission at the time 1t was made up and before Major Rich ardson left for Washington was $25O,- 900. The increase to $4OO,OOO, Lieu tenant Orchard believes, iS merely the result of an enlargement of plans as worked out by the department at Washington, and is, of course, very gratifying to him. It means the push inc of the work. he believes. on the oreat trail to the western extremity of the peninsuIa-Rampart to Nome. This is, of course, a very necessary work, and it cannot, in his opinion, be undertaken too early to meet tbeneeds of the district and the mail service. ! When Major Richardson left it was not deemed possible to get the ncediuI 1 sum through this winter The idea at the time was to send a man over the
 route this winter and mark the best course for future work.

 from Kaltag to Nome by at least 60 .miIes.-AIaskau.

Far-Reaching Law

Three colored soldiers have sued the president, in his official capacity, for restoration of rights of which they claim they have been unjustly berett' This means the recital of the famous Brownsville story in the courts. It Is said that one of these cases will be carried to the supreme court and for the first time in the history of the country soldier from the ranks will be litigant against the highest official in the land.
 When it is within the power ot a private soldier to go into court against his commander-in-chief, and there re- ceive fair hearing on the merits or the controversy, without reference to the station of the litigants, we have a practical demonstration of democratic regard for justice that will serve the world as model.-Portland Telegram

Fine copper prospects have been found over on Martin river, and it is said that next spring will witness the beginning of extensive quartz develop

On the other side of the mountain range, facing ka- talIa, toward the sea, there is said to be highly mineralized region which as yet has hardly known the prospect or's pick, and it is not difficult section in which to prospect.

OLYMPIC GAMES
Have begun
BRITISH TRIALS FOR COMPETI-
TORS WILL TAKE PLACE TO-
MORROW-THEIR CHAMPIONS
BEST IN DISTANCE RUNNING.

LONDON, May 29.-1t is doubt
full whether many people are aware
that the much-discused Olympic
games have already begun. They
were ushered in several weeks ago
with the racquets competitions
events, however, which lost much OF
their interest and Importance in
consequence of the absence of for
eign talent. The Olympic golf COM
petitions at Deal and Sandwich are
next on the list, but even these will
not arouse even a small part OF the
interest which will be evinced later
in the purely athletic portions OF
the prodigious program.
Monday, July 13, is the date fixed
for the first of the Olympic athletic
events, and from day to day for a
fortnight or so, the track and field
competitions will be in progress. 1t
is hoped that King Edward will not
only patronize them in person, but,
as was the case with King George
of Greece, on the occasion of the
Olympic games at Athens two years
ago, will take an oflcially active
part.
1t is yet early to attempt any
thing like definite forecast Of the
results or of the selection of the
men to represent their respective
countries. Elimination trials are
now in progress in several continen-
tai countries. In the United States
and Canada, and the selections will
be made for the most part during
the coming week. The British trials
are to take place in the Stadium to-
, morrow.
So far as concerns Great Britain
and Ireland. 1t may be taken for
\ granted that the committee will pay
serious attention to the che noes OF
such runners as J. P. George, the
present furlong champion: E. H
Montagu, the quarter-mile cham
p,on; j. Fairbairn-Crawford, the
half-mile champion; G.. Butterfle'd
the mile champion; ]. English. the
two-mile steeplechase champion: T
R. Nicholson, probably the best Of
the hammer throwers, and Con Lea
ny. star performer in the high
jump. Unfortunately for England
never was she 50 badly of FOL
sprinters as at the present time
and unless J. w. Morton can fint
some of his old form, there is ONE
event, at least, which looks like 8
foregone conclusion in favor Of ar
| American.

INTERCOLLEGIATE.
ATHLETIC GAMES
CONTESTS INTERESTING IN
VIEW OF FACT THAT WIN
NEHS HAVE STRONG BID FOR
OLYMPIC GAMES.

PHILADELPHIA, May %
Scores of athletes, representing the
cream Of the Eastern collegiate per-
formers and also number from
the Middle West, styeamed into
Philadelphia this morning to take
part in the intercollegiate track and
field championships at Franklin
field. The preliminary events on the
long program are set for this after
noon and tomorrow the finals will
be contested.
The championships this year are
chiefly interesting from the fact
that large number of candidates
for the Olympic games in London
this summer are among the entries,
and the showing they will make
will have an important bearing on
their chances of going abroad.
In the number of competing ath-
letes and their high quality, the
present meet comes close to estab-
fishing new record. Yale. Har-
ward. Princeton, PennsylvaniS, Co
lumbia, Syracuse, Amherst, Dart
mouth, Williams, Swarthmore, Cor
nell, Brown, Johns Hopkins, and
Fordham have sent their star per-
formers. Upon the University OF
Michigan devolves the task Of up
holding the honors of the West.
Yale, fresh from a victory over
Harvard, looms up as dangerous
competitor to Cornell. Pennsylvania
and Michigan. The Ellis are expect
ed to score in almost all of the track
events, and should sweep the pole
vault. Except in the broad jump
Yale Is expected also to score in the
other field events, which will put
her we'll up in the front rank. Mich.
igan is we'll thought of, though hel
real strength Is not known. Cor.
nell, Pennsylvania and Princeton
have strong teams. 1t is the opin.
ion of many competent critics that
the competition between the big col
leges will be closer than aver thi.
year and that Is points may wiz
the meet.
James e. Sullivan is the referee
of the meet. and G. T. Kirby, Thorn
ton Gerrish and Romelyn Berry form
the advisory committee of inspec
/ tors. The other ofIicials are: In
spector. Walter Camp; clerk Of thu
course. John J. Dixon; judges Al
the finish. Barlow s. Weeks, M. P
Halpin. John ]. Walsh and F. w
Ruben.
