In our last letter we got DR.. Samson, our
Democratic candidate for Prothonotary, in a
heap Of trouble and we wish to correct the er-

would succeed, but that we regretted losing

the strength OF our assertion, the doctors

Secure Right Distance.

Extra data is now available as
to the wagon road distance from
Lewiston to Cottonwood by the
way of Waha. This is due to the
fact that Engineer ]. O. Maxon
has just completed a measure
ment of the distance for Felix
Warren, who has the mail con-
tract. Until the change was
made whereby the Westlake and
Cottonwood mails are routed by
Vollmer the Lewiston stage ran
through to Cottonwood. Since
that time the terminus has been
at Forest. The postoffice depart
ment estimated Forest to be
half the distance between Lewis
ton and Cottonwood, and the
contractors pay was established
according to this estimate. Mr..
Warren then decided to have the
route measured by an engineer
and it is found that the distance
from Lewiston to Forest Is only
about three miles less than two
thirds the distance to Cotton
wood. The distance from Lewis
ton to Cottonwood was found To-
be fifty FIVE and three one-hun-
dredths miles and the distance to
Waha is twenty-five and eighty
two one-hundreths miles.

The Big Bridge Is Completed.

At last the big steel railroad
bridge across Lawyers canyon,
said to be the highest bridge. on
the Northern Pacific system and
one of the highest in the world,
is finished and the crew of men
that has been employed on the
structure for the past several
months has departed for the
east. With the completion of
the bridge track laying on this
side of the canyon was at once
taken up and it is said that a
mile of track had been laid this
side of the bridge up to Tuesday
evening. This work will pro-
gress rapidly and will no doubt
reach Ferdinand early next week.
With average good luck the
track should be completed to this
place not later than the middle
of September.

WILL BUILD Y
FINE BUILDING
Local Hardware Company is Pre-
pairing to Erect q Substantial
Building on the Site Of their
Former Store.

AS we go to press the Cotton
wood Hdw. & Imp. Co. is on the
verge of letting the contract for
the erection of their new hard
ware store to replace the one
they had burned down. The
new building will be built on the
site Of the old one and will be
50x90 feet in size. The entrance
viii be on the corner of King and
Front streets and two nice show
windows will be built into it.
The hardware room will be 25x-
70 feet in size, extending the
long way along King street and
back of this room and on the
east side of it will be the ware
house room in an L shape to
occupy. the balance of the floor
space. This will give ample
store room and plenty of ware
house room and when the build
ing is completed the owners will
have much more commodious
quarters than before the fire.
The building will also be raised
somewhat on that corner and q
basement constructed under 1t,
providing space for bulky hard
ware and perhaps vehicles.
When the contract is let
material will be COTTON on the
ground at once and work on the
building will no doubt be COM
menced early next week.

SHOOTING AT
KOOSKIA
Oliver Reynolds, Formerly of this
Place, is Shot by Marshal Cur
rington in a Row Over Wages
Due Him.

Oliver Reynolds, young man
formerly residing at this place,
was shot on Thursday of last
week at Kooskia by Marshal
]. D. burlington. 1t seems
burlington owed Reynolds some
money for rounding up some
cattle and when Reynolds went
to Currington's barn to collect
what was due him a row oc-
Cured and the shooting resulted.
burlington claims Reynolds made
a move as if to draw a gun when
he shot him. Reynolds was
wounded twice, once in the hand
and once in the thigh, neither
wound proving very serious.
burlington went to Grange
vile that day and gave himself
up. The hearing of the case
was set for yesterday but owing
to the inability Of Reynolds to be
present the case was postponed.
burlington is out under $500
bonds.

will be a 32-trough plant, just

Warm river in Fremont county
this fall and the capacity of the
Hay Spur hatchery will be

cries are completed they will
be able to supply ten million
fry annually for distribution
among the various streams of the
state, a larger distribution than
is now being made by any state
in the union.
A turkey gobbler strutting
proudly around with a following
of ten satisfied chicks is the
novel spectacle seen at the Felix
Nichols place near town, the
gobbler having taken upon him
self the duties of the household
without undue or unwarranted
influence from the outside.
The gobbler first felt the call to
enlist himself in the Rooseveltian
army that is waging war on race
suicide some five weeks ago, and
at that time was confning his
attention to a solitary turkey egg.
Mr.. Nichols decided that as long
as the gobbler was bound to
"set" he just as well do the job
right, so fifteen hens eggs were
placed under him, and in due
course of time ten downy chicks
were Matched out, the gobbler at
once accepting the responsibility
of their care as though nature
had intended him for that duty.
One day, when the second
gobbler appeared on the scene,
a pitched battle ensued, and wher
the intruder was vanquished,
the first gobbler gathered his ter
together and paraded away,
swelled up withpride andvanity,

Legislation Idaho Farmers Need.

Hereafter the agriculturalists
of Idaho will have their interests
more carefully looked after.
Since the advent of the Farmers
Union into that state the farmers
are adopting systematic methods
of advancements. Idaho has
no railroad commission, but pros
poets are very favorable for the
creation of such a commission by
the next legislature, and it will
be done at the request of the
Farmers Union in the panhandle
counties.
An Idaho weed law will also
be asked for by the Farmers
Union. The importance of such
a law in the interest of good
farming is very apparent. Nox-
ious weeds greately impair the
productiveness of farm lands,
and with a law to compel their
destruction they will not be
allowed to grow and multiply.
There is another feature that is
lust as important as the creating
of such a law and that is its
enforcement. Washington has q
weed law and if it was enforced
such noxious weeds as the
Russian thistle, Jim Hill''
mustard, and Chinese lettuce
would not be the ban on the
farmer that they are today.

E. M. Ehrhardt and family
left this morning for Spokane
where they will probably stop
this winter and until Mr..

ton. Their many friends here
are sorry to see them leave.
A. L. Creelman has let the
contract for the erection of his

and work on the building will
be commenced the first of next
week.

The Bargain Store people are
rapidly getting their new store here
in shape and are already open for
business. Two big loads of freight
arrived Wednesday evening and in
another week the store will have a
full supply of all kinds of merchan-
disc on its shelves.
The CHRONICLE is in receipt Of
a complimentary ticket to the
lewiston Charleston fair which will
held forth from October I2th to
18TH inclusive this year. The fair
promises to be a good one and will
no doubt eujoy large patronage
from the prairie country.
Vim. Schiller closed deal late
last week for the purchase Of the
G. w Slayton farm about FIVE
miles east of town. The farm con-
tains PAP acres of land and is quite
we'll improved. Mr.. Schiller paid
| $50 an acre, or $726o, for the farm
and made an exceptionally good
buy in securing it. Mr.. Slayton
moved to Oregon about a year ago
and invested quite heavily in real
estate there which resulted in his
decision to sell his farm here.
We have no doubt that Mr..
Schiller will be able to realize an
advance of from $40 to SIS an acre
on the price paid for his farm in
side of the next two or three years.
Sam Lewis, an early pioneer OF
central Idaho and for several years
a resident of the Lewiston country
was in the city last Friday after
noon for an hour or so. Mr..
Lewis is an old friend of the
writer and many is the tale Of
Idaho in the early days that we have
listened to from his lips. Com
ing to California in 4o he spent
several years mining for gold there
and later came to Idaho during the
first rush into the Florence country
when gold was first discovered
in this state. His early life was
one of constant adventure and if
written up it would make better
reading than most of the adventure
fiction procurable at this day and
age. Mr.. Lewis, or "Uucle Sam"
as he is endearlingly called by all
who know him, is now about
eighty years of age and during the
latter days of his life is taking the
rest from labor of which he is SC
well deserving.

BUYS A FINE
LOCATION
John Hoene Secures Fin Business
Lot From Sam GoIdstone and
Will Probably Build a Brick
Store There This Winter.

The big deal which the CHRoN-
IcLE referred to last week as be-
ing under contemplation has
been practically closed although
no papers have as yet changed
hands, The deal consists Of the
purchase by John Hoene, a local
hardware dealer, of the re-
mainder of the Sims-McKinney
store lot and the postoffice lot on
Main street from Sam sGoldstone
and the lot on First street, where
Mr.. Goldstone's residence for
merly stood, the price being
$500. In the deal Mr.. Hoene
trades some of his holdings to
Mr.. Goldstone so that the cash
transfer on the deal is a small
one.
BY this purchase Mr.. Hoene
secures an exceptionally fine
business location, perhaps the
best for his purpose in the city.
While he has not as yet decided
how he will build on his new
location it is quite possible
that he will decide to cover
the entire lot with a sub
stantial brick building 46S
feet front by 100 feet deep. He
is contemplating the erection of
such a building and if he decides
to put it up he will have one OF
finest business blocks in Cotton
wood. Just back of his lot and
facing on Front street he has a
lot 50x10O feet in size that is
admirably located for a freight
and carriage warehouse and it is
more than probable that he will
decide to put in a substantial
wooden building to cover this
entire lot.
Just at present Mr.. Hoene is
busily engaged in filling his con-
tract to furnish the 100000 feet
of lumber needed to construct
the Balfour-Guthrie warehouses
on Camas Prairie, and is also
furnishing a large amount of the
lumber being used in the build
ings being erec ted here in Cot
tonwood. When this matter is
safely disposed of he will have
time to attend to his building
here and may possibly see his
way clear to start work on his
new store yet this fall and
complete it during the winter.

The first separator. explosion to
have been caused by smut in this
section took place Saturday of
last week at the Theodore Roller
place southeast Of town on the
reservation, the machine being
the property of E. C. and Tom
Swenson. Only comparatively
small number Of sacks had been
threshed out from a good sized
setting of wheat when the ex-
plosion occurred. Those about
the machine state that in an in
stant following the explosion
the entire machine was envelop-
ed in flames and as twas running
at the time the fire was scattered
by the blower" into the straw
stack. To extinguish the blaze
was an impossibility and the
separator and large setting of
wheat, together with what had
been threshed, are a total loss.
No insurance was carried on the
machine or the grain and the
Swenson Bros. and Mr.. Roller
each sustain a loss of about 81,
600. Swenson Bros. left Tues
day morning for Spokane where
they purchased a new separator
which arrived here yesterday. -

THRESHERS
BLOW UP
Harvesting Machines in the Pa
louise Country Explode From
Smut and Other Causes-=-One
Probably Dynamited.

A combined harvester belong
ing to J. N. and George Jacobs
was blown up near Uniontown
recently and scattered to the
four winds, The 30 horses had
been hitched to the machine and
barely had it started when the
explosion occurred, the machine
not having reached the grain it
was to cut. The theory is ad-
vanced that some one had placed
nitro-glycerine in the machine
the night before out of spite
against such a labor saving de-
vice. The machine was nearly
new and cost $4,000. Two men
narrowly escaped injury from
the explosion.

that nothing but clean racing
will be indulged in. The races
will comprise running events
only, all entries being made over
night from horses on the ground.
The management has been
assured that horses from both
