PLANS PURCHASE
OF STATE TIMBER
Application Made to Board to Buy
$4,000 Acres OF Land in
North Idaho.

LEWISTON. Idaho. June "a. The
Potlatch Lumber company has made
application to the state land board
for appraisement and purchase of a.
900 acres of the state land tributary
to the North Fork and Elk Creek
sections on which stands timber al
ready owned by the company.
The application involves the ex-
penditure OF the state Of a minimum
sum OF $40 an acre. the lowest sum
al which the land can be appraised.
and this, with accrued interest for
10 years, will net the state approx
mately SIT an acre. Application was
made To the board by W. D. Humis-
ton. land agent of the Potlatch Lum-
Der company, who Is here from Boise
on HIS way home to Potlatch.
To Clear Up Holdings.
When seen Mr.. Humiston admitted
having made the application to the
board
The purpose Is to permit us to go
ahead with our plans. for clearing up
our holdings In that part Of the coun-
try, said Mr. Humiston. 'The land
which we desire to purchase is the
same on which stands timber which
we already own. and which, accord
ing TO present conditions, must be
removed within the next ~ years. .
In his argument before the board
Mr.. Humiston made known that the
real object OF the company In desiring
10 purchase the land was to permit
them to occupy more time in clearing
the timber, and with this end in view,
instead OF asking the state for a 20
year extension, the company is willing
to purchase the land outright at a
price appraised by the state.
Land From the Railroad.
Much OF the land is remote from
q railroad and other transportation,
and 1t viii be many years before the
company. can successfully clear the
timber to the best advantage. The
company does not wish to delay the
cutting of timber, according to the
brief submitted to the board, but un-
der present restrictions 1t would be
compelled to cut the timber in an un-
systematic manner.
by owning the land the company
would be enabled 10 build it's rail-
roads and spurs to the timber in a
manner that would permit the clear
ing or the land TO the best advantage.
not alone 10 the company, but as well
10 the state.
The argument Is advanced that
much OF the timber Is OF immature
growth, and 1t Is to allow this un-
dergrowth and second growth timber
to mature with a view OF conserving
natural resources of the state, and
protecting les water sheds, that the
application for purchase Is made.

WALTER JOHNSON IDENTIFIES
BODY OF MURDERED MAN
Says 1t Is His Brother and Claims
Stolen Money.

OSOACA4
PORTLAND, Oregon, June "a
Walter Johnson, of Spokane, brother
of William Johnson, whose murder
ed body was found in a trunk at the
union depot, arrived last night from
Twin Falls, Idaho, and identified the
body which will be buried in a local
cemetery Johnson will likewise
claim the $1,000 which Mrs. Kersh
got from William Johnson before he
was killed. The grand jury is today
listening to the testimony in the case
from both sides and the woman and
Webb will probably both be indicted
as they are already charged with the
murder.
Details Of greater horror were
brought out in the investigation into
the death of William A. johnson. by
the discovery that he died In the
trunk in which his crumpled body
was found in the union passenger sta
ton late Monday night. Suffocation
and strangulation, and not the cud-
ceiling given him by Webb, caused
death.
According to physicians who per-
formed the autopsy the man had been
beaten into a state OF insenslbility
with brass door knob, then doubled
up and thrust into the box.
On account OF the position in which
the body was found, physicians stat.
cd that Johnson probably became
conscious to degree before death
finally relieved him.
When the body vas discovered a
piece of the victims shirt was
wrapped about his neck and mouth.
Webb. IN his confession, stated that
he feared that johnson might yeIl .
and for that reason he wrapped the
cloth about Johnson's head. Unal
the autopsy was performed 1t was be
lieged that the cloth had strangled
Johnson. but now It has been es-
tablished that he died An awful death
Of saftoeation eramped IN the trunk.

ON TO WASHINGTON.
The Itinerary for the Maine D. A. r.

ne Itinerary 10f the NIdIne ID. A. X.
Mrs. Edward Sibley, Regent of John Cochran
Chapter, D. A. R., Belfast, has received the
following announcement of interest to those
who may wish to join the Name party of the
D A. R. to Washington this year:
My dear Madame Regent: If not too much
trouble will you kindly see that enough of this
stinerary is published in your local paper (if
there is one printed near you) to make the plan
plain to all who may wish to join the Maine
party to Washington this year.
We shall as usual leave Portland, Friday
morning, April 18th, by the nine o'clock train
for Boston, spending the rest of the day there,
with headquarters at the Adams House, SO any
who wish may join US there.
We leave the South station Friday night at
six o'clock by the steamboat train getting to
Fall River in time for the boat and the state
room keys are delivered on the train, making
no delay after arriving on board.
We leave New York Saturday morning and
either go directly through to Washington,
getting there about noon, can stay two
hours or more in Philadelphia giving fine
opportunity to visit independence Hall, the
Mint, Carpenter Hall and other places of inter-
est. When we do this we have about time to
dress for dinner after our arrival at the Riggs
House where we stay while in Washington.
We have seven and three quarter days in
Washington and we have one day and night in
New York. which we have found very enjoy
able. Practically all expenses are included and
these are the exceptions. We do not pay for
meals in Boston, the first one included in the
price of the ticket being the breakfast Satur-
day morning. We have the luncheon Saturday
noon and of course board begins in Washing
ton with dinner Saturday night. Baggage
transportation is included as long as the party
keeps together, but if people scatter in differ
ent directions, or leave at various times, they
have to settle for their own. The tickets are
good for stopover in Boston on returning as
long as desires. We stop in New York at
the Broadway Central
The price from Portland with the New York
stopover is $50. From Boston it is $45.15. If
anyone wants any further information will be
glad to give it if they will write me just what
they want to know about. Cordially Yours,
MRS. A. A. M. B. KENDALL

A Dead Stomach
OF What Use Is It?

Thousands? yes hundreds of thousands of
people throughout America are taking the
slow death treatment daily.
They are numbering their own stomach, the
best friend they have, and in their sublime
ignorance they think they are putting aside
the laws of nature.
This is no sensational statement; it is start
ling fact, the truth of which any honorable
physician will not deny.
These thousands of people are swallowing
daily huge quantities of pepsin and other
strong digesters, made especially to digest the
food in the stomach without any aid at all
from the digestive membrane Of the stomach.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets relieve distressed
stomach in five minutes; they do more. Taken
regularly for few weeks they build up the
run down stomach and make it strong enough
to digest it's own food. Then indigestion,
belching, sour stomach and headache will go.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are sold by drug
gists everywhere and by A. A. Howes & Co.,
who guarantee them. so cents box.
