Sunday, a branch of the Congregational
Brotherhood of America was organized.
The following officers were elected to
serve: President, Walter Rogers; vice
president, William Krause; secretary

men OF the town who do not desire to
patronize saloons and other like resorts.
The basement OF the church building
will be fitted up as reading room and
will be open every evening. Good liter
ature will be provided. A library of
about 40 books was donated at the Sun
day meeting. This will be largely in
creased in the near future.
Other methods OF diversion, such as
ludian clubs and other mild forms OF
athletics. will be provided, and the
rooms will be in charge OF one of the
older members of the brotherhood while
open.
It is expected that the organization
will be perfected and the rooms opened
early in the next week.

American Mining Congress to Seattle
during the time of the fair, and the in
dications are very favorable for the
very favorable for the success of this
effort.
This will bring to the fair several
mining men, most of them successful.
You will readily recognize the impor-
tance of bringing these mining men
from every section OF the United States
to this state when we will have on dis
play comprehensive exhibit of the
mining properties, consisting of the
ledge rock and a small sample of the
two wall rocks. It will mean new
era for the mining industry of this state,
and it is very important that your dis

possible. We want the mining men of
this state to realize the Importance of

The party was nearly frozen when they
arrived
The Ruth was grounded on the Ma
poleon bar for several hours the other
day. After clearing they took no chances
on the YOcum bar as the passage in that
channel is extremely difficult at the
present stage of water.
The crew OF the Spokane has been
taking their meals at the Hotel New
port on account of being short of a cook
at present.
Engineer James Prewett and Mate
Robert Baker have resigned their posi-
tions on the steamer Ruth. Mr.. Prewett
will enter the employ of the Pend Oreile

The river reached it's lowest stage in a
wear last Thursday. The water fell q
inches on that night and the night pre-
vious. The chinooks and rains that
have prevailed since have caused the
water to raise and there is now better
volume than for some time.
The Newport failed to arrive in port
on Sunday to take up the new schedule
on Monday, so the lone was held here
and went down on the Newport's run
on Monday morning.

Death Of Contractor

J. Johnson, one of the subcontractors
on the Idaho & Washington Northern
under Grant Smith & Co., died on
Thursday morning about 5 o'clock at
his camp near Dalkena.
Mr.. Johnson had been under the care
of a physician for about two years for a
complication of diseases. Death was
probably hastened by cold which
he caught during the present cold snap.
Mr.. Johnson was resident of Spo-
kane. He was a general railroad con-
tractor and had been engaged in the
business for many years. He was So
years OF age and leaves a family, which
resides on Carlisle avenue, Spokane. A
son arrived this morning to take the
remAns to Spokane far bnrial.

NAVIGATION SHUT DOWN
Unusual Cold Snap Formed An
Icy Bridge.
News Along the River Front

The first real cold snap OF the season
set in Monday On Tuesday the ther-
mometers along the river front regis
tered 10 degrees below. In other locai-
ties it varied from zero to 9 below. A
strong wind was blowing most of the
time and this made it inconvenient for
pedestrians and stock
There was So much ice running in the
river at this place that the steamboa
had to stop service. The Ruth failed to
get into port until about TO O'Clock at
night on Monday. The river is freezing
over in the vicinity of Dalkena and boys
were skating clear across the stream
above Alben Falls on Tuesday morning
The mail was taken to lower river
points by sleighs from Newport, and
this service will be continued as long az
the river remains in the present condi-
tion. Two years ago this winter the
river was frozen over at Newport and
for number OF miles below and river
traffic was suspended for more than a
month altogether.
The Pend Oreille river is frozen over
most OF the distance between Albeni
Falls and Box Canyon. Navigation is
entirely suspended, all OF the steamers
being tied mp at their docks in this port
with the exception OF the lone, which
was compelled by the heavy run of ice
to tie up at Ruby.
II will probably be week or ten
days, with milder weather prevailing,
before the boats will resume operations,
as the ice from the upper river will not
be cleared before that time.
The river is closed earlier than usua
the cold snap generally coming in the
latter part OF January instead OF the
earlier.
QCapt. jim Stewart is taking a yaca-
ton on accoun. Of the closing OF navi-
cation. He will spend the next 10 days
visiting friends in Spokane and other
seaports. This is the first chance that
the Capt. has had to rusiicate for some
time.

Development work is being continued
on the Eagle mine, formerly the Katy
did, and the owners are preparing to
ship carload of ore to Standpoint for
smelter test the latter part of the month.
The rock continues to improve with
depth, and the new owners are highly
elated at the prospects of making the
Eagle mine.
W. W. Warner, general manager of
the Sterling Silver Lead Co., was in from
Spokane on Tuesday. He had intended
to 60 to Metaline to measure up some
contract work that his company is hav-
ing done, but decided to await he re-
opening of river traffic.
A rather stormy session of stockhold-
ers of the Spokane Lead Mines Co.,
which has claims in the Metaline coun-
try and built concentrator last year,
was held at Spokane Monday. D. D.
Birks, former president and one of the
principal stockholders, made some Wig
orous remarks, in which he sought to
exonerate himself from any suspicion
of mismanagement or crooked work,
backing up his statements with letters
and other testimony. He stated that
Supt. King had been in entire practical
charge of the work, and if the property
was not producing as expected Mr., King
was to blame. Mr.. Birks also expressed
the belief that there was a certain fac
ton working. to wreck the company,
Following this speech the following
trustees were elected: DR.. VIM Sellers,
DR.. w. E. Pickrell and I. G. Newman.
No further action was taken.

Every effort should be made by local
mining men to secure frst-class ex-
hibit from Eastern Stevens county at
least. The Newport district now has
brighter prospects than for years. and
the Metaline country can show some of
the finest ores produced in the western
country.

bury building. Los Angeles.
CHICAGO, May 11z-Wheat that was sold in
this market today by the local bears in try
ing to force a break and wheat sold out by
weakened holders on the decline evidently
went into strong hands and was not for sale
at any time today The market was bare Of
offerings at the start, and prices moved up
easily. Later there was sufficient bull news
to develop a broad and strong market Shorts
covered on the advance. Sold-out longs re-
placed wheat as best they could on the up
turn. There appeared to be fresh volume of
business also based on the adverse crop condi-
lions in the southwest and some unfavorable
news and from the spring wheat states where
the rainfall has been insufficient and the poor
start for the crop is feared. There Is con-
slant feeling on the buying side Of this wheat
for all months from July to September which
Il will take remarkable crop conditions to
offset, We favor buying wheat on reae-
lions.
Local shorts in corn were again forced to
cover, as they have been many times Of late.
Strength in oats was in sympathy with
wheat and corn. Cash market ruled little
higher.
The run of hogs to this market was lighter
than expected. The movement for the week
is expected to drop way below that of the
week previous.

NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE lethargic condi-
ton into which the speculation in stocks fell
today was difficult to account for. The ap-
parent competition OF selling from quarters
that were regarded as important. gave some
relief to an apprehension that informed inter-
ests were liquidating their holdings OF Stocks
Orders from London also were on the puylhs
side in excess of selling orders from that
source. Foreigners often are well informed on
the views of interests controlling the great
corporations here, and the persistent selhng
of late has been considered rather ominous.
The result of that condition today with the
closing up of accounts in connection with the
stock market movement In London, was &C
cepted as cause for announcement.
The market was freed from the selling pres
sure In evidence yesterday, but prices moved
decisivey upward only in the final half hour
Dealings fell to a lower rate of activity dur
Ing the midday period than has been witnessed
in New York for over two months.
Enectual support was afforded by the SYM
pathetic influence Of strength In few stocks,
notably Reading. That stock met some very
heavy selling orders in the of the ad-
vance, but offered good resistance. Erie was
strong and estimates in the increase In that
roads earning power were put in circulation.
The stirring of the market for the Fries was
believed to foreshadow the offerings of addi-
tonal securities incident to financing the road s
further needs.
due to the renewed rise in the prices of
wheat.
The turn to the buying side in the stock
market on the part of London increased the
supply of foreign exchange today and took
away from yesterdays show of hrmness in
that market.
The stock market sentiment is not disposed
to ignore the significance of the hardening OF
the money market in view of the free use
which has been made of banking credits in
carrying prices of securities up to the present
price levels
The buoyant upshoot in Reading at the last
awakened the general market to only a mod
crate animation, but the closing tone was
strong.
