HURRICANE HITS OLD ENGLAND
Lives Lost May Total football and
Rain Accompany Wind.

London Feb. 24.-Heavy loss of life
and enormous damage to property
were wrought by the hurricane which
swept the northwest portion of Eng
land Saturday afternoon. The lives
lost may total 100. Scores of persons
are known to have been injured.
The storm wrought havoc with
coastwise shipping. The entire coast
over which the hurricane ragged is re-
ported to be dotted with wrecks. Even
in the protected harbors considerable
loss to shipping is reported, owing to
the fierceness of the gaze.
Binding storms of hail and rain
accompanied the terrific wind. In
the Mersey river a schooner was cap
sized and her crew of eight men
drowned. Near Donegal a train was
partly blown from the rails while
crossing viaduct. Several grand
stands were blown down while they
were packed with spectators watching
local football contests.

KEEP OUT OF FORESTS.
Cattle Must Be Herded Away From
Prescribed National
Reserves

United States Attorney Carl Rarsch
of Montana has notified Clifford Pin
chot, chief of the United States forest
service, that the United States circuit
court of appeals at San Francisco has
affirmed the decision of Judge Hunt
IN the grazing trespass case instituted
by the government against Thomas
Shannon. No copy of the decision has
yet been received by the forest serv-
ice, but it is believed that it forbids
stockmen to allow their cattle to drift
upon the national forests, and that the
national forests need not be fenc d to
prevent such drifting, although the
state laws may make such fencing
necessary for private lands.

ASK FOR BIDS
Steel bridge

The county commissioners OF Latah
and Nez Perce counties will adver-
tise for bids for the construction OF a
steel wagon bridge across the Pot
latch river at Kendrick This struc-
ture was carried away by the winter
floods and several plans for the new
structure have been submitted.
Several weeks ago the comission-
ers from both counties visited Asotin
to inspect the steel bridge erected
there but it was then deemed mad
visable to construct a steel bridge
across the Potlatch because OF the
heavy expense. The decision for a
wood bridge was reached but further
Investigations have shown that the
stee, structure can be erected at a
little additional expense.

Statesman. A few of them held a
secret caucus last evening TO discuss
plans for future movements in CON-

anti-Dubois people at Wallace. Il

that another meeting will probably
be held this evening, at which plans
to circumvent the Dubois faction will
be further developed. AHf s
