Plowman Case Reversed.

The U. S. Supreme court has re-
versed the decision of the lower
courts in the case of the United
States VS.. K. P. Plowman and sent
the case back for retrial. In the
United States district court the suit
was brought by the government to
recover S2294 from Plowman for
timber he cut from the public do
main on the north fork of the Pay
cite river. That court ruled against
the government and was sustained
by the circuit court of appeals. The
case is remanded on the sole ground
that PlCwman did not specifically es-
tablish the mineral character of the
identical land from which the timber
was cut.

HILL TO GET THE IDAHO
NORTHERN
Owner, of Dewey Estate on
Way to New York to
Make Transfer.

Two weeks ago The Index gave
the information that the Dewey
road had been practically sold tc
the Hill interests. The authority
for the story came from what wa
regarded as very reliable, anu
the statement then made is about
to be verified as the following dis
patch to the Capital News from its
Nanpa correspondent shows:
Nampa, Feb. % Edward H.
Dewey and Con Dewey, his
brother, eft Monday 70; New
York City. On the same day
Mrs. w. H. Dewey. their step
mother, and her daugher, Miss
Marie, and Miss Hede, private
stenographer to E. H. Dewey, left

ly, as parties here are assured, tor
New York CITY also.
"The parties constitute the
whole of the Dewey estate and the
purpose of their visit to New
York, following SO quickly the
recent visit OF E. H. Dewey thereis
supposedly, so it is stated on ac-
curate authority here, for the pur-
pose of closing out their entire
interest in the Idaho Northern
railway to the Hill interests.
The Emmett Index last week
contained an article supposed 10
be on authority of telegram from
New York to the effect that ar
raugements had been made TO ex-
tend the Idaho Northern to Smiths
Ferry. toward Long valley. It
may be de6nitly stated that this
information is correct and that
this road will be built.
"The WyerlIausers, who have
recently procured such heavy in.
terests in Boise, are also heavily
interested in timber in this section.
"The Weyerhausers are also
closely allied to the Hill interests
and it is known that they always
work in harmony. Their timber
interests will furnish large part
of the immediate business of the
new road. 1t is understood as a
part of the project that large
saw mill will be established. at
some point on the upper Payette.

the Hill system which is being
built into this section of Idaho,

SEEK TO RESTORE
HUNTSVILLE CANAL

Huntsville, April H.-(Special.)-At the
monthly meeting the Huntsville Bus
mess Mems club, Secretary Lilly was IN
structed to communicate with Congress
man Richardson Of this district relative
to the prospect of obtaining government
aid in the restoration of the old Hunts
VILE canal from the city to the Tennessee
river Years ago the canal was used
for flatboats of light draft and the rail-
roads of the country gave the city freigh
rates as IL it had been located on the
river bank. A few thousand dollars. II
is estimated, would be enough to oper
the canal to depth of between three
and four feet and there would be con-
siderable hauling between this city and
the river. Members of the club figure
that the reduction of freight rates thai
would follow the opening of the cana
would save the shippers as much money
in a year or two as the improvement
would cost.
