POWER SITES BEING
EXAMINED
U. S. Engineers Will Make
Trip Down Column
bia Soon.

Spokane, Aug. 2O-While it is
yet too early to announce what will
be done in the matter of restoring
to entry some of the power sites
withdrawn from settlement in North
ern Idaho, it is believed the visit of
M. o. Leighton, chief of the hydro
graphic branch of the United States
geological survey, in charge of
stream gaging and investigating of
water supply and water power, and
A. c. Veatch, chairman of the land
classification board of the geoogi-
cal survey in Spokane and Stevens
counties, has some significance
Following an extensive investiga-
ton in Montana, Messrs. Leighton
and Veatch have just toured the
Clarks Fork, st. Joe AMI Occur d.
Alene rivers and are now going down
the Pend Oreille and Columbia riv-
ers. Their examinations are prim-
arily devoted to power sites that have
been withdrawn from settlement.
On Mr.. Leighton's recommends
ton number of such sites in Mon
tana have been restored to entry
What may be done in this respect
with regard to such sites in the Nor
thern Idaho territory just examined
he is not prepared to say. No new
reservations have been suggested so
far in Spokane district.
In Northern Idaho ana Western
Montana three parties are working
under the direction of Waldemar
Lindgren, head of the section of eco
nOmic geology of metalliferOus min
erals, classifying lands in the North
ern Pacific railroad grant.
Lands found to be mineral are not
confirmed to the railroad, which is
given other lands in lieu of them.
Coal and iron go to the railway I'M

Evidently Frightened Away.
Vacation Notes Church Matters.
Personals. 0ther Locals.

Some time during the night of
Thursday thief or thieves made a
bold attempt to rob the store of j. c.
Whittier & Co. 154 Water street. En-
trance was made into the cellar from
a heavy door on the river front of the
building which had been forced open
by some heavy instrument. The door
at the top of the stairway had a hole
cut through it with chise large
enough for a mans hand to be put in
and unlock the door from the inside
which admitted the burglar to the
store room. The lid of the roll top
desk was forced open: the cash regis
ter draw was opened by the regular
way. No money was in either place.
Money appears to have been all that
was being sought. or else the burglars
were frightened away before anything
could be taken. The person or per-
sons entering evidently were well ac-
quainted with the premises and had
made a careful survey before enter
ing.
