Attorney Generals Report.

I'm conclusion, would like to describe
what seems to me the bearing which the
Attorney Generals report on the financial
condition of the university ought to have
upon the pending bill. which extends the
benefits Of the Morrill, acts to the Dis
trict, and temporarily designates the
George Washington University to admin
lister the Morrill, appropriation which this
bill would make available for the Dis
trict.
1T is firmly believed by the authorities
OF the university that a full investigation
of the present financial condition and
prospects of the university will make two
points very clear:
Il. That in carrying that loan from the
Corcoran fund upon the treasurer's books
as first lien upon the equity in the uni
versity property, at 18th and II streets.
and in its medical school property between
18th and 18th streets. the trustees have
left more than sufficient equity with

Policy of Expansion.

Business men may differ as to whether
it was prudent for the old members of
the board Of trustees to enter upon their
policy of expansion before they had Sc
| cured some guaranty Of an addition 10
the endowment fund sufficiently large to
insure the permanency Of the work thus
expanded. But no one acquainted with
the honorable men who composed the
board at the time those things were done
which were the object of the attack
made at the hearing on April % will for
a moment question their sincerity and
good faith or their devotion to the educa-
| tional interests of the District of Column
bia.
In making these temporary loans from
the Corccran fund the old members OF
the present board Of trustees followed
precedents that were approved by MI
Corcoran himself and We're created by
the very board that had gathered that
fund. Moreover, whatever has been done
during the present administration mas
been done solely for the purpose, first, OF
creating and supporting a genuine uni
versity, and, finally, for the purpose or
saving it from bankruptcy i'll the midst
of the panic of 1907. Every dollar thus
temporarily borrowed from this fund,
with the equity in all the university $
property security, has been spent upon
the university itself. Furthermore, no one
will deny that net result or the
risk those gentlemen have taken In be-
half of the young people of the District,
this community now possesses in the
George Washington University an lnsti-
tuition that is of real university grade.
'To give some idea of what has been
accomplished by means or the nnancial
nolicjes that have been the subject of re-
cent criticism, / will insert in the appen-
dix OF the speech an address made by
President Needham at the opening OF the
university last September, entitled Inc
University and the District / wish that
every intelligent and patriotic citizen of
the District, who is interested in educa-
ton might read that address. and |
hope that every member of the legislature
for the District will examine Ii before he
comes to vote upon this bill extending
the benefits Of the Morrill, acts to the
District of Columbia.

Was Veteran of Indian War and
Early Gold Miner
RIPE old AGE OF 1903 YEARS
Brought First News of Indian
Outbreak on Salmon

George Popham, one of the early
pioneers of this county and survivors
Of the Nez Perce Indian war, passed
away Sunday at the home of his
granddaughter, Mrs. w. w. Bowman
of this city.
The deceased, who was born in
England, came to California during
the gold days of 49 and when the
news of the rich strike in Florence
reached the coast he was among the
first miners to reach this section, ar
irving in Warren in the early sixties
and following mining. During the
outbreak of the Nez Perce tribe he
lived near the present site Of White
bird.
At the time of the outbreak he was
living at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. Manuel. Being warned of the
approach of the hostile Indians the
subject of our sketch took fire arms
and retreated to the brush surround
ing the cabin and awaited events, the
Indians reporting at that time that
women and children would be spared.
Mr.. Manuel, his wife and baby and
seven year old daughter took horse
and left for the house of a neighbor to
seek further protection but hardly had
they started when Mox Mox and his
band were upon them. Manuel was
wounded and stabbed to death by the
Indians. Mrs. Manuel and her child
were thrown from the horse they
were riding and taken back to their
home by the Indians who forced her
to give up what ammunition was in the
cabin. The oldest daughter was car
ried to Mt. Idaho by Pat Price and
Mr.. Popham piloted the remainder OF
the party to Mt Idaho where he gave
out the first authentic news of the out.
break of the Indians in the Salmon
River section.
Mr.. Popham is supposed to be 1O3
years old, the records of his birth
have been destroyed during the Indian
war. He was a member Of the Bap.
tist church and an excellent citizen.
The funeral was held Monday with
interment at Mt Idaho cemetery, he
being laid to rest by the side Of the
many victims of the Whitebird mas.

Confirmation of Building BIG
Power Plant
s15OO,0oO WILL Be SPENT
Big Industrial Enterprise is
Now Assured

According to the American Lum-
herman, published at Chicago, the
contract for the dam to be built in
the Middle Fork at Kooskia, by the
Day interests, has already been award
ed. There have been repeated rumors
that the capitalists who acquired the
dam site and extensive land holdings
for the paper mill site were engaged
in arrangements to start work early
in the spring, but the statement of the
Chicago publication is the first definite
announcement. The article is as fol-
lows:
"Hates Il Rogers, Of Chicago, At
lanta, Ca, and Spokane, have receiv-
ed contract to construct a concrete
dam across the Middle Fork of the
Clearwater river at Kooskia, Idaho.
The dam will be constructed for the
purpose Of generating power and pro-
viding booming grounds in connection
with plans for important industrial
improvements to be made at Kooskia
by Chicago capitalists, who acquired
extensive interests in that district
early last year. 1t is estimated the
initial improvements, which will con-
sist of dam, power plant, cement
factory and saw mill, will cost 81 ,50O,-
600, and that the company plans to
make this investment within eighteen
months. A pulp mill of large capaci-
ty is planned and arrangements for
the purchase of suitable timber from

ed. The engineering features are

Christian Revival

The interest in the Winston meet
ings is growing daily. Everyone ad-
mires man who speaks out fearlessly
against sin as does the evangelist.
Certain utterances from him have set
all tongues and some pens going. In
this those in charge of the meetings
have realized what was carefully;
planned. Some say to me ''Why agi-
tate this moral question publicly? Go
about it silently" Every reform is a
result of public agitation. Without
it slavery would never have been
eradicated; without it the saloon ques-
ton would never have, been settled in
Grangeville; without it no sentiment
can be created strong enough to result
in the enforcement Of law. A host of
Grangevilles best people have backed
Winston in every utterance against
immortality in our town.
There is always some oflice-hungry
lawyer seeking notoriety, who is ready
to seize upon such an occasion as an
opportunity to win the sympathy and
goodwill of the people, by champion
ing under false pretenses the cause of
virtue, and by rushing into print with
an array of Interpretations, play the
part of a self-created hero in the cause
of the young women of the town, when
in reality they have not in any way
been attacked.
That Winston has not in any way
insulted the young women of Grange
vile is the unanimous acclaim, pub
licly expressed of those young women
who have been attending the meetings
every night. He has however attack
ed the Indifference of the parents who
permit such conditions, and the lack
of moral sentiment without which no
law can be enforced. Come and hear
Winston for yourself and get it
straight. Don't take another's word
for it. The subjects this week are es-
pecially vital.

Second Great Fire Visited Grangeve Monday
suited in $4,000 Worth of Property
THE BUSINESS SECTION OF THE CITY THREATENED
Grangeville Department Store Heavy Building
aged Three Other Firms Lose

The second heavy loss from fire
sustained by Grangeville occurred
Monday night shortly after nine when
a fire was discovered which resulted in
a loss Of close onto $40, 900 and threat
ened the city with repitition of the
disasterous fire Of some half dozen
years ago when large portion of the
business section of the city was swept
by fame,
Monday night was one of violent
winds and a night when a small blaze
would be apt to result in fire be-
yond control, and the mere fact that
the fire occurred in brick block
where it could be confined saved the
city.
Shortly after nine Chief Ingram
discovered smoke emitting from the
front of the Grangeville Department
Store and at once turned in the alarm.
The citizens and company responded
and deciding the blaze was in the rear
Of the building, several lines of hose
were played in the rear and the front
door kept closed, thus preventing the
fame from making rapid headway.
While it was next to impossible tc
locate the fire on account of the den.
sity of smoke men being unable to en-.
ter the room, finally line Of hose was
carried in by I. Vincent and The
blaze was located on the west side Of
the room just below chimney.
At times it looked mighty threaten
ing for the post office, the Howe
building and the entire row of build

is said of him is that he was honest.
He had had bad reputation among

Out From Concord

f.. M. Watson came out from the
Concord last week and will spend
several months on the outside, not
returning until the backbone of winter
is broken. Mr.. Watson has a num-
Der Of properties in the Hump and
has had sufficient faith in the country
to stay by it for the past eleven years.
He says there is very little snow in
the Hump this year as compared with
usual amount, less than five feet Of
snow having fallen. But the weather
is very severe and great deal colder
than usual. Close to thirty men are
wintering in there and there is con-
siderable activity.
The Crackerjack has ten stamps in
operation and in the next thirty days
expect to have ten more dropping.
They have the tram completed and
also the water power from the Crystal
Lake. There is plenty of good ore
and with the present method of oper-
alton no reason why it will not show
good returns.
Joe Pelikan with the assistance OF
one man is sinking a shaft on his
property, the Old Judge and the Del
Rio people are doing some work.
He states they all look forward tc
the building of the railroad down the
Salmon as the day when the Hump
will show it is the great mining dis.
trict of the west.

siding so as an entry could be made
from both the rear and front Of the
building the fame was located and ex-
.tinguished.
The fire undoubtedly started near
the chimney along the west wall and
from what cause we do not know. A
defective flue may have been the cause
or SCOT in the stove pipe. An in
spection Of the interior shows the most
damage by fire was in this section of
Of the building and there is also evi-
dence of quite blaze under the bal
cony to the west where the ladies'
suits are displayed. There is every
evidence of an intense heat in the
room and the merchandise all over the
store shows the effect.
The clerical force left the store
shortly before nine and at that time
everything seemed alright.
! The loss will reach forty thousand
dollars with SOME insurance.
! The heaviest loser will be M. Korn
field, the proprietor of the Grangeville
Department Store who must have haC
close to $37, 900 stock of genera
merchandise with only $4,000 in
surance. E. S. Sweet, the owner O

Early Sunday Morning a tragedy
occurred in the Dixie mining camp at
which time VIM. Broyle, a we'll
known mining man of central Idaho
was killed by "Snowshoe' Brown also
a mining man. The trouble is said
to have been the outcome of gamb-
ling game which was in progress at
the time of the shooting. 1t is stated
that Brown intended to kill Mort
jackson and in an attempt to knock
the gun out of his hands it was dis
charged the bullet stricking
Boyle in the eye and resulting in his
instant death.
1t is said things have been rather
free and easy in Dixie this winter
and game has been running right
along. Saturday night Brown was
among those sitting in and early SUM-
day morning had words with another
party and leaving the place went to
his cabin where he secured 30-30
and returned to avenge his supposed
wrongs. He stepped in the cabin
and was in the act of firing when
Thomas Hopwood grabbed him and
during the ensuing struggle the gun
was discharged and resulted in the
tragedy.
Deputy Brown, Atty. Gilmore and
Coroner Blake left early Monday for
the scene of the tragedy and tele-
