win Remain at Present Lo-
cation, Says Head Man

The committee appointed by the
Commercial club, consisting OF WIN.
Dollar, F. L. Wells. 7. H. Hart, /. NJ.
Busby, and Boyd Hamilton, to inter-
view the management Of the Nc
Goldrick Lumber company relative
to the truth OF a rumor to the eject
that the company contemplated NOV
ing its mill from Spokane. returned
last evening.
McGoldFick Says Rumor Is Untrue.
The committee interviewed Mr.. Nc
Goldrick, and 1t was advised BY him
that he had no intention OF moving
his mill, The first that Mr.. McGold.
rick had heard OF the rumor, so he
stated, was when informed Of IL BY
the committee. and he advised It that
the company, when II located IN spok-
ane, had determined upon that city
as its permanent headquarters, and
that the management had not since
then changed It's mind In this respect
and that he was unable to account
for the rumor that the company was
in search OF site for It's mill
Feared Condemnation OF Site.
The above was all the information
that could be secured from the COM
mittee, b It was learned this morn
ing from an authoritative source that
the McGoldrick Lumber company en-
tertained fears that its present site
might be condemned by some one OF
the railroads seeking an entrance
into Spokane, and that with that
thought in mind the company had
been in search OF a site to take the
place Of the present In the event that
this should occur The present site
OF the company is almost in the heart
OF Spokane, and would make ideal
terminal grounds for the large rail-
roads now seeking an entrance into
that city. II is understood that these
roads are experiencing trouble In Sc
curing the necessary terminal
grounds, and that It is not all linz
possible but that they might endeay-
or to secure the site of the mill. and
in the event that II could not be pur-
chased proceed to condemn IT, and
the company in anticipation OF such
a move has been endeavoring to Sc
cure site that could be utilized In
Its stead. In the event that this
should happen Occur d'Alene city
would undoubtedly become the home
OF the McGoldrick Lumber company.

Yes, sir. said Whiteway, and
then told of the opening of the bids.
He met H. N. Coffin, then state treas
urer and member of the commits
sion, when he told him he was the
lowest bidder, but the commission
had decided not to award the bid un-
til 1t was determined how much mon
ey could be made on the bid.
II asked how much would be re-
quired. and ne replied there were Ave
commissioners and $4,000 could get
the bid. | told Mr.. Coffin | had not
anticipated anything of that kind and
that / could not give 1t. He told me
to go and see what | could give. My
partner and l went down to see w
G. Pierce to see If he was in it, and
met Mr.. Haines, who said the profit
in the contract was $4,000 and that
the commission was not getting any
thing for its work. and that If we
would bring down 5000 and put it
in the safe we could get the contract.

ranged to get $4,000. Coffin then told
me he would take the money and put
1t in his safe told him | could do
