Chief Clerk Elwell at Spokane and
Postmaster McEachron have been
considering ways and means since
the floods cut off the regular COM
munications, with the result that
the routing by the river for first
class mail is authorized and the let
ter mail went out on the boat this
mOrning and the Lewiston tonight
will bring up the mail not only for
Lewiston, but for Clearwater and
Asotin county points.
Straight pounch mail for Guide
sac, Lapwai and other points on that
line was sent out this morning, and
everything that could be sent into
the clearwater country by way of
the Cottonwood stage has been
routed that way since the other lines
closed. An attempt was made to get
an emergency route opened between
here and Uniontown, hut no one of
the local men would bid on such a
contract, fearing that the mail al
ready piled up awaiting transfer
would tax facilities to move to Lew
iston before train service would be
resumed.

get practice has already been begun

There will be no battle drills at

Admiral Evans health is improving

IN POTLATCH
NORTHERN PACIFIC SENDS A
TRAIN TO WASHOUT BELOW
JULIAETTA WHERE TRANSFER
WILL BE MADE.

The first transfer of passengers in
the Potlatch canyon will be made
tonight, a train having been sent
out from the Northern Pacific depot
this afternoon carrying mail and
passengers to be transferred to the
Spokane train at some point be-
tween Arrow Junction and Juliaetta.
1t is expected all of the track
with the exception of the big wash
out can be repaired by tonight, so
that trains can be brought to a
point where a transfer can be made.
This transfer will be continued
until the regular service is restor-
ed, and it is expected schedule time
can be restored within a few days.
The actual conditions at the big
washout are not known. but RAILROAD
men have reported the roadbed
washed away to a depth of 15 feet,
and a large section of track will
necessarily have to be constructed
on piling before travel can be re-
stored. The report from Kendrick
today states the railroad company
expects to be able to get a train
through by Friday or Saturday, but
the difficult character of the work
renders a closer estimate impossible

BOISE, March 1S.--Judge Wood
today sentenced Orchard to death in
accordance with the plea of guilty
entered by Orchard last week, but
the court recommended that the SEN
tenCe be remitted In sentencing
Orchard Wood stated he believes
that Orchard, in his testimony at
the trials of Haywood and Pettibone
for tlA murder of Steunenberg, told
the exact truth, attempting to con-
ceal nothing.
Il am more than satisfied" he
said, that the defendant now at bar
in this court awaiting final sentence
has not only acted in good faith in
making the disclosures that he did,
but that he also testified fully and
fairly to the whole truth, withhold
ing nothing that was material and
declaring nothing which had not ac-
tually taken place"
The judge then formally sentenc-
ed Orchard and fixed May Is as the
date of execution. Orchard thanked
the court for his review of the case
and for Judge Woods kindly re-
marks regarding him.
He repeated that he had told the
whole truth and that no promise of
immunity or mercy had ever been
made to him. Before he had con-
cluded the tears were streaming
from his eyes and he all but broke
down as he thanked Wood for his
recommendation to the board OF
pardons.

KENDRICK, Ida, March 1S.-
The construction train with three
crews of laborers reached here from
Troy at o'clock this morning, and
during the forenoon the men were
engaged in strengthening the track
for the passage of the Spokane pas
senger train, which reached here
shortly after noon and returned to
Spokane this evening.
The train consists of derrick car
and pile driver, with five cars fitted
with accommodations for the men
engaged in the repair work. The
work toward Juliaetta was COM
menced this afternoon, and it is now
believed the track to Arrow juno
tion may be ready for traffic by Fri
day night or Saturday.
The stages for interior points
commenced operating this morning
on the regular schedules, but 1t is
expected slow time will be made be-
cause of the damage sustained to the
roadways and bridges.

ARROW JUNCTION, Ida, March
18.-Preparations are being made
this afternoon to inaugurate a sys-
tenn of transfer wagons around the
washout, and it is expected passen-
gers, mail and baggage will be
transferred to the Lewiston train
tonight.
A large force of men is now en-
gagged in the repair work this side
of Kendrick, and as soon as the
track is cleared to Juliaetta it is
hoped to have all of the gaps filled
with the exception of the big wash
out between here and Juliaetta. 1t
is expected this work will be COM
pleted this afternoon and the trans
fer of passengers made tonight.
The japanese laborers numbering
about 25 were this morning taken
to the Clearwater line, where the
work of clearing the track has been
commenced. The men working on
the Potlatch line out of here are
still about a mile from the station
and a considerable part of the force
has been engaged today in repairing
the wagon road for the transfer to-
night.

COAL SUPPLY
GETTING SHORT
NORTHERN PACIFIC HAS NONE
IN ITS BUNKERS AND ONLY
ENOUGH IN SIGHT TO OPER-
ATE ENGINES FOR FOUR DAYS

With the source of supply shut
out for an indefinite length of time
by reason of the washouts and land
slides in Potlatch canyon, the
Northern Pacific is confronted with
coal famine in Lewiston with six
engines to be supplied
An investigation of the company's
coal bunkers this morning showed
the supply to be- entirely exhausted.
and but two cars of coal are in the
yards. 1t has been learned the
company has arranged to Sc
cure a limited supply from the Pot
latch Lumber company. The COM
pany is now operating two trains
out of here. One of these trains is
engaged in the repair work in Pot
latch canyon, while the other is on
the Lewiston-Vollmer line. The
Clearwater train went out for the
first time this morning.
The supply Of coal in the yards is
sufficient to operate these engines
for period of four days, and with
the prospect of delay of several
days before the line to Spokane is
opened it is stated the supply OBJ
tainable from the Potlatch company
will only operate the work train en-
gagged in the repair work.
This is suggested as the reason
for the company's inactivity I'm
clearing the Clearwater line. The
extent of the blockade has not been
definitely reported, but it has been
suggested that train service on this
branch could be restored within two
days If force of 80 men were de-
tailed to this work.
The people of the Clearwater
country have been persistent in
their inquiry as to when the service
On that line would be restored, but
it is not probable the company will
be able to begin active work or
either of the branches until the coal
supply has been replenished.
The orders to the Clearwater
train crew this morning were tC
proceed as far as possible and return
to Lewiston tonight. 1t is knowT
the line is not open above Lenore
and it is probable the train will mo-
: go much above Basalt.

RAID SUSPECT
WHISKY TRAFFIC ON RESERVA-
TI0N NOW UNDER SURvEIL-
LANCE OF ORGANIZED BODY
OF INDIANS.
Special to Evening Teller.

NEZPERCE, Ida, March 1S.-
Acting under the authority vested in
them by the terms of the treaty by
which the United States secured a
large percent of the Nezperce Indian
reservation, a number of the Indians
Ct this section have delegated them
selves special officers to prevent the
introduction of liquor upon the res
ervation. In the prosecution of this
plan they have stopped and searched
& number of wagons entering the
reservation, which they believed
were bringing intoxicating liquors
into the forbidden territory.
The freight team belonging to
the Grangeville brewery was one OF
the last wagons searched, and the
driver was very indignant at being
compelled to submit to the search
by Indians. The team was en- route
to points on the reservation to col
lect the empty beer kegs left after
the saloons were closed.
Parties who are familiar with the
terms of the treaty entered in% by
the government and the Indians
claim the section dealing with the
introduction of liquor on the reser-
walton was one of the most impor-
tant in the eyes of the Kamiah In
dians, and was the cause of a hang
up of negotiations for some time
Final adjustment was reached after
the government had inserted the
clause providing for the penalty FOL
the introduction of liquor and Civ
ing the Indians power to arrest any
person guilty of introducing liquor
or search any building or convey
anee where 1t was believed liquor
was kept of in transit.
