Clay of Some Value.

A sample of the Kaolin clay
found on the ranches of Louie
Kaufman and Parker & Batty has
been analyzed by the United
States Geological Survey and the
following report from that source
shows, while the clay is of COM
mercial value is is hardly practic-
able to market it under the present
condition and will have to await
the advent of the manufacturing of
pottery at point nearer Grange
vile than the present. Here is the
report:
"The sample of clay sent there
with appears to be smooth white
clay which is rather more plastic
than kaolin, and is more in the
nature of ball clay which is one of
the ingredients in the manufacture
Of high grade pottery.
can analysis is hardly necessary
since the amount of impurities
would probably not be great enough
to alter the general characteristics
OF clays Of this kind.
''The value Of clay depends
largely upon it's accessibility to
market and, as there is no white
ware made west Of the Mississippi
River, this material would probab.
ly not be available for some years
to come. The principal centers Of
the manufacture of pottery are in
the Ohio Valley, New Jersey and
New York and, as clay Of this kind
is only worth from five to ten or
twelve dollars ton, you can read
lily see that the freight would pro-
hibit the use Of this material at
present. When, however, the
western country is in position to
manufacture it's own pottery, this
clay may be available"

Is Denented.

Is Demented.
Word was sent out from Dixie
the last of the week to the effect
that man by the name of Phillips,
who has been wandering around
the past two years, was in the re-
gion south on the Salmon river in
a demented condition, without
clothes and on the verge of starva-
tion. According to the report this
man imagines he is about to be shot
by an unknown enemy. The man
is well armed and seems to have a
fear of being captured and acts like
a man who had committed some
crime and had lost his reason by
continual though of the same.
Deputy Henry Randall has gone in
after him.

Saloon Ordinance.

The city council met in adjourned
session Monday night and amended
Ordinance No. II, restricting the
number OF saloons, to admit all
hotels and lodging houses with 20
rooms. After the disposition OF
this matter Councilman Parker in
formally introduced the discussion
of concrete sidewalks and cross
walks as a substitute for the pres.
ent expensive and temporary board
walks, and in all likelihood an or
dinance will soon be prepared pro-
viding for plans and specifications
for the construction OF concrete
walks by those who prefer to use
the more durable material. The
proposed sewer system, which has
been hanging fire for some years
was again discussed and it appears
to be the sense Of the present coun-
Gil that the new board to be elected
this spring should insist upon in
strnctions from the people to pro.
ceed with that all-important task.

Meeting of Stockmen.

The meeting Of the Stockmen's
Association, held at Whitebird last
Friday was we'll attended. All
the debts of the association were
paid and a handsome sum was left
in the treasurery. The association
has been of immense value to the
stockmen of that section and we
understand is about to become as
sociated with the Washington
Stock Association.

Blow to the Drama.

The way of the thespians who
have ventured on Camas and Nez
Perce Prairie Jared this fall has been
sad. When the railroad pierced

Farmers Buy Store.

The general merchandise store at
Winona, was purchased recently
by number of farmers Of that
section who have formed them
selves into an association and will
conduct the business in the future.
We understand the stock invoiced
at something over $8, 800 and stock
in the new organization is being
sold at 800 a share and is pretty
thoroughly distributed among the
ranchers of that vicinity. George
Matzen has heen selected as presi-
dent, w. Kolkman, secretary and
George Sea, John Segar and George
Kilman will constitute the first
board Of directors. WinOna is an
excellent trading point and with
the support Of the prosperous
ranchers the store should be q sue

The farm sale sale Of Matt Gil

Horses sold we'll, one gelding going

RAIL Road CONTROL
SUBJECT Of REPORT
Herbert Knox Smith Pre-.
pareS Paper on Terminals
AT Rivers.

The movement for development of the
nations waterways seems likely to de-
velop this winter into a movement, Of
no small magnitude, for a new sort of
regulation of the railroads.
The National Rivers and Harbors
Congress in this city early next month
has invited Herbert Knox Smith. Com
missioner of Corporations. to deliver an
address on river terminals. In doing
this. the officers Of the congress have
had IN mind their desire to develop in
the strongest possible measure the need
for such regulation Of the railroads as
will prevent their forcing traffic of
unfair competition.
Mr.. Smiths bureau has completed
and has now in press long report on
waterways, bearing especially on the
terminals. II is known this report will
bring out the fact that the railroads.
by reason of owning almost all the
river front real estate in large cities,
that is available for terminals for river
lines, practically hold the key TO the
whole river commerce situation. The
boat lines must have the privilege of
using land owned by the railroads, IL
they are to be able to do business.
This condition has of late come to be
regarded as most serious.
Representative RansdelI of Louisiana,
president OF the Rivers and Harbors
Congress, Is deeply interested in this
question Of terminals, and Of the rela-
tons of the railroads to river traffic.
He said today in an interview that he
fully realized II is within the power of
the railroads, as matters now stand,
practically to prevent business develop
ing on the rivers, and that no matter
how much money may be spent OF the
rivers or how inviting their channels
may be made to traffic. The difficulties
Of making such legislation effective he
fully realizes; but he is decidedly of the
view that II must be done, as il has
been done in European countries.
