Joseph McDondald return d
Monday evening from his trip east
and reports having had a nice time
except for the cold weather. He
said the thermometer registered
about fifteen degrees below zero
back there and strong wind blew
all the time while he was there,
making it very cold and disagree
able to say the least. He said the
farmers back there were apparent
ly in good shape financially, having
harvested about rs bushels of corn
to the acre this year, but for him
self he would much prefer living in
Idaho.
John Hoene and family and
mother and sister left Monday
morning for their old home in
Illinois on visit of several months.
They were accompanied as far as
Spokane by Joseph Hoene and
John and Mat Schubert. On leav-
ing Lewiston that afternoon the
train suffered a slight wreck owing
to the spreading of the rails and
the engine and all but the last
coach left the track and turned
over. Fortunately the party above
named were in the last coach and
escaped severe shaking up. No
one was injured in the wreck and
the passengers were transferred to
another train later and taken on to
Spokane. The next day the
wrecking train removed the cars
from the track and allowed repairs
to be made and soon had things all
Strengthened out again. That no
one was injured in the wreck is re-
markable.

There seems to be we'll
founded rumor afoat that a new
county will be organized next
winter with Cottonwood as the
county seat and Lewiston is in
on the deal. We would not be
surprised to see such a thing
happen and this country would
be in new county.-Ilo Regis
ter.
The above is news to us but
such things are possible and
stranger things have come to
pass. Cottonwood would make
an ideal county seat for a new
county composed of the west
half of Camas and Nezperce
prairies, with some Salmon river
country thrown in for good meas
ure, and such a county would
have one of the richest sections
of the state within it's borders.
Camas Prairie people are becom-
ing tired of having to pay taxes
for the support of this entire
county and the formation of a
new county is about the only
way to get rid of the burden.
Let it come. Cottonwood will
be ready and willing to properly
receive the new county seat.

NET INCOME.

Secretary MscVesgh yesterday made
public the rules which will govern the
Treasury Department 10 the collection
of the corporation tax. OF most in.
terest, perhaps, is bis de6nilion Of met
income" quoted below. More than
four hundred thousand corporations In
the United States will be obliged TO
make returns In conformity with the
regulations.
met income" means not only net
profits arising from the operation of
the principal business OF the corporation
but oil items OF the income received
from other sources, such as investments,
holdings 10 other companies and busi-
nesses, etc. The expression "net In
come" Is used because there Gao be
no question as to Its embracing amounts
Of income received from these outside
sources, where's there might be some
question as to whether or not such Items
would be inclnded 10 the expressions
met profits" or "net Carnings."

SENATE.

SENATE.
In a notable address today DIR. Rsyner
supported bic resolution. introduced
few days ago, Authorizing the president
"to take all necessary steps" for The cap
ture Of President Z,lays OF Nicaragua
and bis trial on the charge Of murder.
Under the spell Of the Maryland SeDa.
tors eloqueUce he galleries filed rapidly
and senators Listened intently as Mr..
Rayner argued that 1t vas both the duty
and the right Of this government to get
z .laya and try him. "a great crime has
been committed" he said, "agsiust the
rights Of American citizenship which can.
not be allowed to sumbsr. The guilt does
not res! upon the people Of Nicaragua and
therefore TO punish them would not sub
serve the purpose Of my resolution. This
resolution Ia directed against the Die
tstor of Nicaragua individually, aud |
want 1t entirely separated from any pro-
posed steps we may take In reference to
our interference In Nicaragua" Mr..
Rayner said that Cannon aud Groce, the
two Americans shot to death By u JlaJas
order, fought with the revolutiouists.
They we're simply, when captured,
prisoners of war, he declared, and the
universal law of CIVILIZED nations now
forbids the killing or woundipg OF priso.
ners Of war. he asserted that the ques-
ton whether the Nicarsguan iusurg ents
had beligesent rights had nothing to do
with this case. Mr. Rsyner was severe
In bis attack Oh Il Lay a, whom be painted
90 one OF the most dissolule men who
was ever placed st the head OF
government.
At the conclusion of Senator Rayner's
speech, Senator Lodge said he heartily
and cordially approved the course fol.
loved by the administration. He con.
graduated Mr.. Rsyner on his attitude.
He believed almost every senator would
spprove OF what Mr.. Rayner rsid.
Ser stor Oullom asked That the resolu.
ton be referred to the foreign relations
committee, which was doue. He prom
ised that 1t would receive prompt atten-
ton and come back 10 satisfactory form.
Both Senators Lodge and Oullom said
they would discuss the Nicarsguau ques.
ton later.
Mr.. Rsyner qloted legal prtcedents
10 show that with Z,lsya captured there
would be no Obstacle 10 bis trial In

report that Mexican aunboat Is now
on the war to Oorinto where 1t will tske
station temporarily with the American
warships 10 these waters. 10 tho mean
time Senior Oreel, Who Is on q special
mission to the United S ates 10 conuec'
ton with the Central American trouble,
Is awaiting an audience with Secretary
OF State Knox today. This has been ar.
ranged for tomorrow afternoon. The
State Department Is as yet unaware
OF the object Of Senior OreePs
mission. There is very strong
possibility that Mexico proposes to act
independently Of the United States In
attempting 10 settle the Nicarsgusn
difficulty. There is reason to believe
that Mexico is not entirely pleased with
the prospect OF drastic action on the
part Of The United States for the punish
meut of Z.lsya. II Is ASP doubtful
whether Mexico views with equinimity
the prospects of Z,laya's downfall as
success Of the revolutionary lfader
Estrada. Il Is extremely doubtful that
Ssnor OreePs mission will be successful
in the way ofpersUsding Secretary Koox
to alter his programme 10 the slightest
detail The issue involving the protec-
ton of American lives aud property is
too important and Secretsry Knox has
taken so nrquslHsd a stand that read

question.
