Asbestos Mine Near Ksmiah

The Spokane Asbestos Fire Bricl
Company, who NV own the asbestos
claims near Glenwood, are making
preparations to quarry and bring tC
Kamiah for shipment two to three
hundred tons Of the rock. The com.
pany have done considerable work
the past fall and have had a large
number Of tests made which n v. the
asbestos 70 be OF d good commercial
value, and it is certain that ship
ments will continue whenever the
road is in condition for teaming. It
has long been known that asbestos
has existed in the Glenwood country
and the property has been located a
number Of times but the owners could
not discover any value in the mater
ial and il was not until last summer
that the present owners conceived
the idea of saving out fire brick
from the natural rock and expert
ments along this line bore out their
notion and showed the sawed brick
TO be better than anything yet man.
ufactured for the purpose mentioned
above. There are many other uses
for the material and it is only a
question of short time when the
asbestos industry will be of consider
able Importance TO all this section of
the state. Early in the spring the
company will install a saving plant in
Kamiah and later will add crushing
and depressing machinery to manu-
facture FIRE brick of several grades.
A burning kiln will also be included
in the first plant in the spring.
There is an immense quantity of the
asbestos rock tributary to Glenwood
and the indications are good for a
big success with this material. So
far as known, there has never been
any asbestos of a similar formation
outside of the immediate
district where this is found. KAN

which may surprise ths people Of
Idaho. The PERCENTAGE Of iIliterates
in Idaho is the same as that in the
stale of Nebraska ninteen years ago.
In the latter state. a revival OF in
terest in education, particularly in
resi- &c the better trainingof rural
teachers, occurred during the early
'90s, with the result that the ratio
Of illiterates has been decreased
from 1910 to 3. A further result OF
this educational awaking has been
indicated in the increased numter Of
students who have achieved higher
education. In seeking cause for
the large percentage Of illiterates in
Idaho, we are confronted with the
following statistics:
In Idaho per cent Of the popula-
ton is urban. "a per cent is rural.
In Montana 27.7 per cent urban.
In Washington, SO per cent urban.
In Oregon, % per cent urban.
Consequently, in no other state
in the northwest is the situation SO
plainly indicated. PROFESSIONALLY |
the solution of the problem of raising |
the educational standard Of the state
and lowering the illiteracy, will be
found in the better training of rural
school teachers. To achieve this
end, the Lewiston State Normal
School has instituted a special course
for the training of rural teachers.
In addition TO this feature of pro-
gress, the institution is getting in
louch with unframed teachers in the
rural districts. and impressing them
with the necessity of specialized pre-
oaration. In this work, the state
md county educational officials are
cooperating with the Normal School

AN ACCIDENTAL CAPTURE

chicken thief ran into the arms of Constable Murphy yesterday morning, figuratively speaking. He came upon three MeXicans under the influence of vino. l. was not his intention to ar rest them, but merely to warn them. When he spoke to one of them. he re- piled that he was not the guilty party; he had no hand in the crime, and he pointed to another, who pulled a live chicken out from under his coat. In reply to further questioning the Mexi- can said he had stolen the chicken from a box in the rear of the Yellowstone Chinese restaurant. The constable took the Mexican. the chicken and half bottle of wine to jail. The chicken was put into the mans cell where it was found dead later in the morning Afterward the constable went to the restaurant and asked the proprietor if he had missed a chicken. He replied that he had not. but being directed by the officer to take an invoice of his poultry he went into theair over his loss.

ally withdrawn and the court said: Let it be admitted as fragment C. The word exhibit was subsequently substituted for the word, fragment.
 Though in the cross examination of witnesses for the plaintiff, the defense sought to show that the fire had not occurred on account of the negligence of the company, the real defense is that the defendant was not transport ing the property in its character as a common carrier, but as d private car rier, under a special arrangement with the construction company by which it was not held responsible for it's safe delivery.
 The defense offered a motion in volving law points which had been raised and the latter part of the ses- sion was taken up with arguments on the motion. Judge Kent reserved his decision until this morning.
 Previous to the taking up of this case, Dolores Salazar. who had been convicted the day before of uttering a fictitious check or several of them for that matter, was sentenced tG five years in the territorial prison. II was q BltAAa oAAlA 1tilAtANfF buN in the opinion of the court, SalaZar, who had put the county to an un- necessary expense Of several hundred dollars was not deserving of great leniency.
 John Shelton, who had been in dicted for the theft of several sheep from Pickrell and Clark, pleaded gull ty. He will be sentenced some time next week. Shelton was not in cus- tody at the time Of his indictment. It is lucky for him that all of the members of the grand jury were not of the mind of Levi Young, one of it's members, and a large sheep owner. 1t may be violating no secret of the grand jury room to say that Mir. Young would have liked to indict Shelton for a capital offense. not on account of the theft of the sheep, but because it was brought out that the thief had sold them for $1.5O a head. That, MT. Young considered, was a more serious blow at the sheep in- dustry than the mere unlawful trans fer of property.

GRANT BROS. SUIT
 AGAINST SANTA FE
TO RECOVER VALUE OF EQUIP
 MENT DESTROYED BY FIRE
Contention of the Defense That No
 Responsibility Rested Upon 1t.

The principal matter in district court yesterday was the damage suit of Grant Bros. Construction company against the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix railroad to recover the value of lot of merchandise and equip ment destroyed by the burning of several box cars on the morning of June s, 1907. The equipment had been used in the construction of the A. and C. and was being moved to Phoenix. The fire occurred on d sid ing west of the A. X c. junction where the cars had been set the night before.
 All the evidence for the plaintiff had been put in except as to the value of the property destroyed and by consent of counsel that was allow ed to be introduced later There was not a great deal of testimony; the fact of the destruction of the property was admitted. In the course of the examination of General Manager James A. Cashion of the plaintiff company, Isadore DoclIweiler of Los Angeles, one of the plaintiffs attor- neys, endeavored to get into evidence a telegram which MT. Cashion had received after the fire from the then general superintendent Drake, inform ing him of the burning of the cars. The telegram contained the numbers of the cars, but in the lapse of years, the lower right hand corner of the telegram had been torn away and lost. The defense objected at first to the introduction of the dispatch on the ground that all the matter con tained in it had been admitted by the defense. This objection was fin
