CRAIG MT. MILL
DOING THINGS
Track Laid Nov. 15-Mill
Will Cut 100000 Feet
Annually.

c. P. Lindsey, of the Craig Noun
tain company, says that steel will be
laid November IS on the railroad the
company is building to its mill site
near Winchester, and October 4th
work would be initiated on the foun-
dation feature of the mill. A rock
crusher will be installed for the ce-
ment work and machine shop pro-
vided, and in the interim the exca-
vations for the plant will be carried
forward. By the date the railroad
can deliver the milling machinery, the
frame work for the plant will be in
readiness. The plant will have a
capacity of thirty million feet annually,
this output being over three times
greater than the total cut of the pres
ent season of all the Craig Mountain
mills. The railroad will cost about
S12, 600 mile or total cost of S75,-
600, independent of the rolling stock
and equipment.
There is to be quite town bull
at the MILL" Mr.. Lindsey said
"a town with a population of 1000 te
1900, and we naturally would desire
to give it good train service" H.
stated that the milling enterprise ane
operation of the railroad would EN-
ploy about 200 men. with such
payroll" he said, ''the town shoul'
be the best in that country"

Preparing for Main Line Heavy
Traffic.
PUT In 10000 NEW TIES
Curves Reduced, and Road-Bed
Improved Generally.

The Northern Pacific is now en-
gagged in the distribution of 10000
ties on the Clearwater road between
Arrow Junction and Sites preparatory
to extensive work to be carried out
during the early winter. The plans
provide for practically reconstructing
the Clearwater road and it is under
stood this work will be completed at
the earliest possible date.
Wherever possible the curves will
be reduced and the roadbed improved
preparatory to the heavy traffic Incl
dent to moving out the grain crop and
landing the material into Kooskia
used in the construction of the Mis-
soula- Kooskia cutoff. The ties now
being distributed represent about one
third the number necessary for relay
ing the entire line, but during the past
two years a large number of ties have
been relaid and with the work
planned for this season the line will
be practically reconstructed from Ar
row to Sites.
That work of this character is now
to receive attention illustrates how
railroad companies in many instances
in their operations anticipate the future.
At the time the Clearwater line was
built, comment was made that the
road bed as laid out would involve
exceptionally heavy construction work
for a branch road. Explanation was
given by the railroad officials that the
heavy work could be accounted for in
the fact that the line would some day
be used for main line traffic and that
therefore considerable rock work
would be necessary that the curvature
should be that desired. AS a result
of this decision the branch can be
put in shape for the heavier traffic at
comparatively small cost.

Pioneer Crosses Great Divide.

Peter H. Ready one of the Oldest
and wealthiest pioneers of this coun-
try, passed away Monday morning at
his modest residence in this city, after
many months of i'll health, during
which time travel and change of cli-
mate and all available means were in
voked to stay the ravages of disease.
Deceased was bachelor, with no
near relatives here. His nephew, E.
]. Hickey, a merchant of Detroit,
Mich, and his prospective heir, ar
rived here with his wife this evening
in response to a telegram, and will
have charge of the funeral arrange
ments.
Peter Ready was truly pioneer OF
the northwest, having come west TO
Montana in 1865 at the time of the
Alder Gulch mining excitement. He
came to Camas Prairie in 1870 and
in 1872 took up homestead and pre-
emption near the present site OF
GrangeviIle. He participated in the
Nez Perce war in 1877, and with
Lew Wilmot narrowly missed loos-
ing his scalp while freighting from
Lewiston, the Indians capturing their
loads on the prairie, and the two
freighters making their escape by cut
ting the lead horses loose and out run
ming the Indians. Thus one by one
the old trail blazers respond to the
summons of the grim reaper, and pass
on to the frontier of the land of mys-
tery from whence no traveller returns.

"The Four Musical Artists" Oct.
Is the Initial Event.
GRAND LODGE l. o. o. F.
Things in Readiness for the 500
to 700 Delegates.

The drop curtain and scenery for
the new |. O. 0. F. theatre arrived
several days ago and is now in place
and Frank Vansise and Robert Amb-
Ter are just finishing up the arranging
and fastening of the opera chairs,
which will give seating capacity of
over 700. With the inclined floor
every seat will be good one.
The new theatre will be dedicated
on October 18th with a high-class
musical entertainment, The Four
Musical Artists" which is furnished
through the Ridpath- -Slayton enter
taInment bureau, and comes highly
rated. This is the first of the enter
tainments on the Commercial Clue
lecture course and was turned over to
the Odd Fellows order as the initial
performance for their new theatre.
The |. o. 0. F. order is deserv-
ing of great credit for the enterprise
displayed in furnishing this commun-
ity with a modern theatre building at
cost of something over So, 600, and
in this opening event should be given
packed house as an expression OF
appreciation of their enterprise. This
will really be necessary to clear them
financially, as THE Four Musical
Artists" is one of the high-priced en-
tertainments commanding 81. 90 a seat
in the cities. This will be followed
on the 18th by the Rowe Madison
Square Theatre for FIVE consecutive
nights.
All plans are being completed fol
the |. 0. O. F. grand lodge and
Rebekah state assembly on Oct. 18th,
and it is expected that there will be
from 500 to 700 delegates in attend
ance. A special train of seven cars
will start from Pocatello, taking or
delegates as it progresses northward.
A special train will also come from
the north. These will have to he
broken up in sections from Lewiston
this way up the Culdesac grade.
The citizens will have to rally to
the support of the lodge in the work
of entertaining the visitors and throw
open their homes to as many guests
as possible. The people of thi.
community, however, are known tc
be as hospitable as any on earth, ano
it is only necessary for them to under
stand what is expected of them to &C
spontaneously. This is great op-
portunity for our little city to distin'
guish itself, and it must arise to the
occasion.

AUSTRALIANS CAPITAL CITY
A Bush Site for the Commonwealth
Finally Chosen I'm the YRss-

MELBOURNE, Dec. 2.-Ever since the
commonwealth of Australia was pro-
claimed in 1901, the question OF a site for
the capital has proved itself a stumbling
block. 1t is now announced that both the
House of Representatives and the Senate
have agreed upon the Yass-Canberra site.
The story of this capital in the wilder
ness is interesting. When the constitution
was first submitted to the Australian peo-
pie the location of the capital was left an
open question, but as the tight for and
against federation proceeded 1t became evil

the result was that the most powerful col
ony voted against union. The premier
gained his point and it was conceded that
the capital should be In New South Wales,
at a distance not less than 100 miles from
sydney" From this vague wording has
all the delay arisen.
Both Sydney and Melbourne being barred,
a bush capital 1t was to be. Halt the coun-
try district in New South Wales put in
claims, while capital site Leagues sprang
up In scores. Owing to the wide range of

site to advocate, but often half a dozen, and
as the keenest local jealousies existed, their
task was difficult.
The first attempt to select a site at the
end of the first Parliament was in 1903.
Failure resulted The House of Representa-
tves selected Tamut, a site close to the
Victoria border, about half way between
Sydney and Melbourne. The Senate's
choice was for Dalgety. a tiny township on
the Snowy river in the southeast corner of
New South Wales, and much closer to
Melbourne than to Sydney.
In the next Parliament the question was
reopened. and Dalgety secured a majority
in both chambers. Trouble at once began
with the state of New South Wales. 1t
was hotly contested that the spirit of the
constitution had been ignored by Parlia-
ment, and that Victoria had duped the
House so as to bring this about.
The condition that the capital was to he

not mean, In the opinion Of the dissatisfied
residents of New South Wales, that a
choice could be made OF a spot such as
Dalgety, as remote from Sydney as pos
sible and close to Melbourne. To make
matters worse, the federal legislators
placed a every liberal Interpretation on the
provision that the site area was to embrace

boldly declared for 800 square miles, or "a

The government of the aggrieved state
then fell back on the condition that the site
