Cortelyou said the report was
without foundation. He had had no

Der of the cabinet and he expected
to continue to serve as secretary of

He pronounced the story that he
had been offered the presidency of

New York as absolutely without
foundation, and said the report that
he had conferred with J. P. Morgan
regarding his recent visit to New
York was fake" in every particu-
lar. He had not seen Morgan nor
any one else IN his interest.

Will COMPLETE
BREAKWATER
CREW OF o. R. & N. MEN AT
WORK At THE CLEARWATER
BRIDGE TO FINISH CRIBBING
MAY MEAN RESUMPTION

"A crew of %. R. & N. bridge men
reached the city last night and this
morning commenced work on the
breakwater at the draw pier. This
work will consist of finishing the
crfbbing and depositing rocks to fill
the interior. The work is being per-
formed under the supervision of En-
gineer L. G. Mccoy, and more men
apd dump carts will be added tomor-
row.
Mr.. Mccoy states the work is be-
ing done at this time to prevent a
loss by freshets and that the orders
do not provide for any other charac-
ter of construction work.
The bringing Of the bridge crew
at this time is generally regarded
as indicative of the early resump-
tion of steel construction on the
bridge work. The move on the part
of the railroad company has been
made particularly significant be-
cause of a report sent out by the Pa
cific Express company to the effect
that the bridge would be completed
before March and the line from Ri
parfa to Lewiston placed in opera
tion before April. The express
company circulated this report to
agents in this territory where busi-
ness would be affected by the direct
service down the river to Portland,
and it is regarded as authentic as to
the plans of the railroad company.

ATE WAREHOUSES;

THE farmers of the Nezperce
prairie are planning to perfect coz
operative organizations to fnaugu~
rate a system of independent ware
houses by which outside buyers viii
be able to enter the field and secure
the identical grain their receipts
call for" said Attorny P. w. Mitch-
ell who is business visitor in tho
city from Nezperce.
"The first organization of this
character has been perfected In tho
Russell section and arrangements
are now being completed for the
erection of a warehouse at Greer.
The company will be composed OK
about fifty stockholders but grain
from all farmers will be received
and piled in such a manner that the
identical grain will be delivered
when the receipts are returned.
''It was first planned to enter the
market for the purchase of wheat
but with the assurance that inde-
pendent buyers are anxious to seA
cure the prairie crop the company
will only engage in the warehouse
business. /
The Independent buyers hava
this year secured considerable grain
in the Nezperce section but reports
on deliveries show that the same
quality of grain is not being deliv4
cred that the receipts call for. This
would result in an elimination oE
the independent buyers from the
territory unless better warehouse
facilities are provided and this IN
what the farmers propose to do"

FARMERS Want
BETTER Price
GRAIN DEALERS FIND THAT AL
THOUGH THEY HAVE RE-
SUMED BUYING THAT FARM
ERS ARE HOLDING SALES

With bluestem at SO and club at
67 cents the farmers of the Peck
section are not making any records
in getting to the warehouse to
change their grain receipts ilto the
coin of the realm. The grain com
panies are paying $105 for barley
and oats but even these prices have
not stampeded the farmers of that
section. This is the story brought
to the city by Len Magfl, who is en-
gagged in grain buying at the Peck
station.
A large percent of the crop was
sold early in the fall before the
market closed and those VINO did not
sell at that time seem tc have
reached a decision to hold their
crop until they believe the best price
has been offered. The market
has been showing increasing
strength during the past ten days
and the present quotations show a
marked advance over the prices OF
last week.
The grain purchased was shipped
out of the country as early as the
middle of December and since that
time Mr.. Magil has shipped carload
lots as rapidly as the grain has been
purchased.
At upper Clearwater points the
percent of purchased grain is much
! less than at Peck and the shipment
