CENTRAL IDAHO ELECTRIC LINE.
Will be Constructed to Connect With
Line to Spokane.


Line to Spokane.
ELK CITY, Idaho, July GA
movement has been started among
mining men in the central Idaho dis
tricts, backed by Spokane and eastern
capital, to build an electric railway
from Orogrande and Elk City down
the south fork of the Clearwater
river to Camas prairie and there con-
meet with line to Lewiston. Just
what route will be selected from
Harpster to Lewiston is not made
public at this time. There are two
promoters in the field. o. G. Kinny
secretary of the Butte and Orogrande
Mining Company, is handling the in
terests in Idaho and Spokane, and
an eastern promoter is representing
the other interests. The new road
will be known as the Elk City, Lew
iston & Spokane Electric railway.
Stock to the amount of 5000, 900 has
been subscribed for on this end of
the line, and, it is said, engineers
will be in the field inside of. 80 days.
These facts tell in brief the story
of movement that has been on foot
for several weeks, and which took
definite form, as far as the public
is concerned, at meeting of the local
men interested in Elk City Thursday
night. Those in attendance - she
meeting included several capitalists
from Wisconsin, all of whom are in
terested in the Butte and Orogrande
Mining company. Correspondence
was read from Spokane, Wisconsin,
Chicago and New York A commit
tee of three was appointed to ar
range for a massmeeting of mining
men and residents of Elk City and adj
joining districts at some date in the
near future, for the purpose of stir
ring up sentiment and enthusiasm to
aid the promoters in securing right
of way from the government across
the forest reserve.
The Northern Pacific holds a ten
year franchise which expires this
year. It's route is the only feasible
route along the stream. 1t is argu-
ed by the men in the concern that the
Northern Pacific can not reaonably
ask an extension of time on the fran
chise, while on the other hand the
new company can bring great pres
sure to bear on the Washington Of
ficials to prove that the country is
now ripe for a railway; that they
have ample means and experience to
improve the privilege they ask and
that they will lose as little time as
possible in getting work under way.
The distance from a central point in
the two mining districts to the edge
of Camas prairie is said by engineers
to be in the neighborhood of 80 miles
and it is asserted by some that a
Iight-rail track can be laid at an ex-
pense not to exceed $4,000 a mile
A rumor is current here that J. P
Graves, electric railway magnate OF
Spokane, is back of the project, or al
j least is interested in it. This rumol
no doubt springs from the fact thai
Graves has. negotiations under way
for taking over the right of way Of
the Lewiston & Southeastern. which
has been secured as far as Grange
Vile.

been tossed to this seldom-traveled
thoroughfare, near the home of Ar
thur Hubbard, his pockets rifled and
his clothes torn into strips by the
murderer, whose efforts to rob Mes
singer apparently met with resist
ance. Messengers bloody stif hat,
battered in from behind, the rim torn
off and bathed in gore, was found
near the scene OF the crime, indicat-
ing the cowardly blow from behind
struck by the criminal.

NEEDS OF THE STATE FAIR
Million and Half Dollars Could Be
Used to AdYantaue

~SSS
One and one-half million dollars is
named by G. NJ Griggs of st. Paul, for
many years an important figure in the
management of the Minnesota state
fair, as the need of the state fair in
the next five years, with additional
help from the Twin City merchants
and manufacturers in the way of a
few years advance rent for space in
a new main building. Mr. Griggs
would have the legislature appropriate
100000 for 1909, 100000 of which
will be required for the new grand
stand, and 100000 every year for the
next five years. The advance rent
from the business men would amount
to between $4,000 and 100000.
The needs of the state fair today
Mr.. Griggs enumerates as follows: A
new grandstand, new liberal arts or
main building, a new process building
with power for live manufacturers, a
new agricultural building, greenhouses
for it's horticultural building, a build
ing for state institutions, two new fire
stations, mining building, a new ma
chinery hall and, most of all, a grand
stand Of steel and concrete, at least
1000 feet long-something that will
seat 10000 people and, with the old
bleachers, accommodate $4,000.

GOOD STATE FOR RAILROADS
Revenue in Minnesota Last Year
$78,OoO,ooo.

Railroads operating in Minnesota
pay more taxes and earn more money
in this state than on all the rest of
the lines of the thirty-four roads en-
tering Minnesota. The operating rev.
enue for all the lines of all the roads
reporting to the state railway and
warehouse commission was $1O2,0OO,-
600, an increase of $13,OOO,OOO. The
revenue for this state alone by the
roads operating here amounted to
$7S,O00,000. This was nearly twice
as much as was earned the year pre-
viOus.
The taxes paid in this state are 4
per cent of the gross earnings. Based
on the figures by the roads of their
gross income and the taxes paid they
pay an average Of 3.774 per cent in
all states. The total taxes paid by
all the lines amount to $17,347,23

PANIC OCCURS IN A CHURCH
Several Persons Injured at Christmas
Celebration at Echo.

SCiSUFdIfOH dGsECnO,
The peril of panic ushered in the
celebration of Yuletide at Echo
and it is nothing short of a
miracle that somber tragedy did
not result when the gas generator con-
nected with the lighting plant in the
Methodist Episcapol church took fire
and caused a wild stampede of 100 or
more frightened women and children,
all of whom luckily managed to get
out alive, though some were severely
cut by glass.
The crowd consisted mostly of wo-
men and children, with here and there
a few men who had come to join in
the fun. The work of dressing the
tree had just received it's finishing
touches when the generator burst in.
to flames almost directly in the path
of the tree and it's fimsy, infammable
decorations.
Immediately there was wild STAN
pede for the doors and as the crowd
became damned in it the more badly
frightened of the women and children
began jumping through the windows
Some of these were badly cut and
those who were unfortunate enough tc
fall were trampled on by the frenzied
crowd.
No lives were lost and no damage
was done to the church by the fire.

Supreme Court UphOIds Increase
Of Gross Earnings Tax.
CONSIDERABLE sum INVOLVED
Decision Means Over $50, 600
a Year to State.

The state of Minnesota won a dou-
Bile victory in the supreme court
when that court, by Justice C. L.
Brown, filed opinions in it's favor in
both the Great Western and Great
Northern tax cases.
The court upholds the validity of
the law increasing the railroad gross
earnings tax from to per cent,
which the roads attacked as unconsti-
tutional, claiming that they could not
be made to pay a gross earnings tax
larger than the 3 per cent which was
provided for in their territorial char
ters.
The Great Northern case nomina1ly
involves $12O,7373S for 1905 taxes.
The Great Western case involved
about $4,000. The amount at stake,
however, is really more than 100000
year to the state treasury, if the
decision is sustained by the United
States supreme court, to which it will
undoubtedly be appealed.

rushed down stairs and into the cold
morning air.
