A Roping Experience.

Geo. M. Marshall met with an
accident while coming to town Friday
morning that might have resulted ser
lously, as it was he received some
bruises. AS he drove into town a
horse with long rope dragging came
running up and circled about his bug
gy. Mr.. Marshall got out to loose
the rope and drive the animal away
when it started to run and catching
him by the foot with the rope dragged
him some distance over the rough
ground. The animal slowed up after
running piece and the rope came
loose. Had the horse become really
frightened, we might have been called
upon to chronicle more serious re-
suits. This question of loose stock
running about on the streets and COM
mons should be given little earneS
attention.

Injured While Riding Broncho.

Harrison Robinett, of Winona,
met with serious accident last week
while breaking a wild broncho. The
animal, which Mr.. Robinett was
breaking to ride, seemed exceptionally
vicious, and after hard tussIe to un-
seat its rider, in which it failed, the
broncho threw itself. Mr.. Robinett
was caught in the fall and the animal,
realizing its advantage rolled over on
the rider, bruising him up severely
and breaking his arm in two places
above the elbow, producing a COM
pound fracture very hard to set. DR..
Slusser was called, and set the broken
limb, and again visited the patient this
week, whom he reports as making
good progress.

Timber From Miner al
Lands.

The Lewiston land office has re-
ceived circular from Secretary of the

In pursuance of this authority the

dence of the persons desiring to re-
move such timber and the use to be
made of the same.
1t is specifically provided that after
the application has been granted thai

and all debris must be disposed of a.
indicated by the department and vio-
lations of the conditions of the permi

same prosecutions provided for tres.
passing upon the public domain. No
permit can be issued for more than ;
year and persons desiring to remove

ness for the past two months. Mrs.
Reed accompanied her husband as far
as Illinois, stopping on the way at
West Point, Neb., to visit with her
sister, Mrs. Anderson, and at Omaha,
where a number of days were spent
with Mr.. Reeds sister, Mrs. R. c.

making exceptional progress in theiI
studies and are favorites in the insti-

the favor, and the collection of the
exhibit would be greatly facilitated.

About three hundred pupils wrote

noon, and spelled over ten thousand
words correctly out of a possible
thirteen thousand nine hundred and

per cent for the entire school. The
second grade leads with over ninetv-
one per cent, then the mixed grade
with elghty-seven, and the sixth and
fourth grades with a fraction each
over eighty per cent Pupils in the
high school took the test without any
warning or preparation and made sew
enty per cent. All other grades have
had several weeks in which to study

fifty test words were taken. by the
Portland committee.

Matter Thoroughly Argued Be-
fore the Commissioners.
DECISION is UNANIMOUS
Large Delegation of Clearwater
Citizens Present.

The matter of the granting of a
license to Ernest Robbins for a saloon
at Clearwater, was again up before
the Board of Commissioners on Mon
day of this week, each side presenting
their case in able manner. Nj. +.
Griffith was employed as council for
Robbins, and was ably assisted by ].
B. Leeper. The other side was rep
resented by Rev. ]. B. York, who
called upon County Attorney Gilmore
to assist in the examination of wit
neSses. Considerable latitude was al
lowed by Chairman Butler in the Civ
ing of testimony, the purpose evi-
dently being to go to the bottom of
the matter and thoroughly sift the
facts in the case. l.. w. Brown,
Chas. AdamSon, Thomas Harrison
and Mrs. Lester were the star wit
nesses for the anti-saloon side, while
]. P. Leeper, p L. O'Brannon,
James MCPHERSON and G. M. Lamore
were the leading witnesses for the
license sides. Both sides were accorded
fair treatment, and while at times the
discussion of differences grew quite
warm, the spirit of good nature pre-
vailed to remarkable degree through
out the entire hearing, winning the
hearty commentator of the spectators
who were present. The closing
speeches were made by +. M. Griffith
in favor of the granting of license, and
Senator Josh Rowton, Mrs. Addie
Lister and j. B. York in opposition
to the same. A number of witticisms
were exchanged and repartee freely
INDUCED in between the opposing
forces, and some good points were
scored at times. The closing speeches
were made at six p. m., when the
Commissioners took the matter under
advisement.
The following Clearwater citizens
were in attendance: J. B Leeper,
! q. M. Lamore, James Mcpherson,
Jesse Mcpherson, R. H. Farris, Cor
win Pell, Isaac Gunter, B. H. Moore,

1 Tuesday forenoon the Commission
erS announced their decision in the
matter, denying the application for
license. The decision was unani-
nous, and brings to final close the
question of saloon or no saloon in
Clearwater, over which there has been
discussion for months, unsettline the
entire community. While the testi-
mony of a number of witnesses was
to the effect that Robbins conducted
an orderly place, the commissioners
evidently concluded that the evidence
that minors had been known to fire.
quent the saloon and drink there, was
too strong to be ignored.

More Surveyors and Supplies
Rushed to Kooskia.

The plans OF the Harrlman-Mil-
yankee alliance provides for crossing
bs Bitter Root divide by a tunnel
,ouroximately two miles inlength, ac-
eording to information given out by
members of the engineering parties
who have been engaged in the work
i the divide. The most extensive
Investigations have been made by the
eupineers the past two years in del
tcrmining the best crossing of the Bit
FER Root mountains with the result
that a tunnel site has been located,
which BY following tributary of the
Bitter Root river on the Montana
side and the construction of a two
mile tunnel, entrance to the Idaho
water grade is secured at a minimum
grade, thus eliminating the heavy
grades against which railroads are now
fighting.
Articles of incorporation have been
filed with the secretary of state IN
Montana for the Montana-Idaho &
Pacific railroad with an authorized
capitalization of S16, 900, 900, to run
from Lapwai junction, where it con-
meets with the O. R. & N. up the
Clearwater to Lolo pass, where it
crosses over the range into Montana,
reaching Butte via Missoula, a dis
lance of $50 miles.
The incorporators are ]. H. Rich
