Idaho Two congressman.

According to advices from the As
sociated Press, Idaho may yet secure
another congressman. The dispatch
is as follows:
The democrats of the house, aided
by faw republicans, who declined to
be bound by party caucus today, won
their fight for an increased repre-
sentation in the lower branch Of con-
gress under the census of 1910.
They voted down the republican
caucus bill to maintain the member
ship at 391, as at present, and then
passed the original Crumpacker bill
fixing the membership at 1873 on and
after March 3. 1913.
Today's action of the house must be
ratified by the senate. The house
leaders believe the senate will follow
the wishes of the lower branch, as
under the reapportionment plan no
state loses a member. Idaho gains
one more member under the provi-
sions of the bill.

Death of Mrs. Watson.
Yours very truly,
Olley Pipes, Sec.

Last Saturday, at the residence of
her son, H. E. Rowe of near Denver,
occurred the death OF Mrs. Edith
Watson, one of the residents of that
section Of the county for many years.
Deceased was born in Indiana,
February II, 1924 where she grew
up to womanhood and was married
in 1S44 to John Rowe. From this
union we're born five children, four
sons and one daughter, four of whom
have passed beyond. In 1859, Mr..
Rowe lost his life through drowning
and in 1879 the deceased was united
in marriage to VIM. Watson whose
demise occurred in 1879. After the
death of Mr.. Watson the deceased
came to Camas Prairie where she has
since made her home with her young
gest son, H. f. Rowe of Denver.
She is survived by two sons and
numerous other relatives.
The funeral was held Monday at
Denver, the Rev. SaXton preaching
the funeral sermon and the remains
were followed to the last resting place
by a large concourse of sorrowine
friends.

Traffic Tied UP.

Grangeville and Camas Prairie is
in the grip of King winter this week
and since Sunday night we have been
without train service. The cuts be-
tween Grangeville and Cottonwood
are drifted full of snow, the freight
engine is off the track mile and a
half from town, and the passenger
makes trips from Fem to Lewiston,
the condition of the road between
Grangeville and Fem being such
that it will be several days before the
track is clear.
Passengers are taken overland from
Fem and the mail is brought across
the country. 1t is said that condi-
tions in Fem are very congested and
the town has the appearance of a
mining town in a boom camp.

COMPANY been Organized in
Elk for Operating Mill.
WORK HAS COMMENCED
Plant be Ready to Treat Ore
This Spring.

The articles of incorporation of the
Elk City Reduction company have
been drawn and filed with the secre-
tary of state, and the company is now
on working basis.
The nature of the business to be
carried on by the company is mining
and milling, the leasing and buying
of mines, and the marketing of the
products, the generating and distri-
button of electric power.
The company is capitalized for
$3.50, 900, divided into 250,0O0 shares
of the par value of 81 each.
The incorporators of the company
are: G. L. l.. Basket, c. f. Horn,
M. F. Tytler, M. A. Parr, M. H.
Perry, Of Elk City; 0. c. Lapp, and
N. B. Pettibone of Sites. M. f.
Tytler is named as the agent in charge.
The following officers have been
agreed upon, and will be elected as
soon as the articles are approved and
recorded: G. F. Horn, president;
O. G. Lapp, first vice president; M.
H. Perry, second vice president; G.
L. L. Basket, treasurer; M. F. Tytler,
secretary.
The company have already COM
menced work on the erection of Gus
tom mill in Elk City, with the in
tention of being in shape in the early
spring to treat ore.
The main building will be 4Ox6O,
and the initial capacity of the mill
will be 20 tons. The ore bins will
be built back of the main building,
and not a part of it, as there will be
several different compartments for
custom ore with total capacity of
300 tons. The ore bins will be the
first part of the plant to be built, so
they will be ready to receive ore in a
short time.
The process will be plate amalga-
nation, concentration and cyaniding.
The concentrate will be treated at the
plant, first being roasted and then
subjected to chemicals. The process
is successfully employed at other
mills and a saving of over 80 per
cent can be extracted.
As in every district there is great
deal of ore that has accumulated on
the dumps during the prospecting Of
the vein, and it is the object of the
company to buy this ore from the
prospectors This will not only build
up much needed industry, but at
the same time help the prospector tc
get something to develop his claim
with. Nearly all the claim owners
in the district have taken stock in the
company and enough ore has beer
pledged to keep the mill running fol
sometime. Mining News.

No Public Drinking Cup.

Perhaps some people are not aware
Of law in this state prohibiting the use
Of the public drinking cup. Such rule
has been promulgated by the board of
health of the state and is now in force.
According to the provisions of the.
rule laid bown by the board it will be
necessary for individuals to have their
own cups; at least it is contrary to the
rules of the board for hotels, schools,
railroads, stores and other public
places to provide cups for the use Of
the public
Superintendent Glanville has been
instructed by the board to enforce the
provisions Of the measure so far as the
schools are concerned Below we give
a copy Of the rules:
"Whereas, 1t has been demonstrated
that the use of what is usually known
as the common drinking cup, is dan
gerous, and is an undoubted source of
communication of infectious diseases,
now therefore, in the interest of the
public health. "Be it ruled by the
Idaho state Board of health: That
the use of the common drinking cup
on the railroad trains, in railroad
stations, in hotels, in stores, in the
public and private schools and the
state educational institutions and other
state institutions of the State of Idaho
is hereby prohibited, from and after
January 1st, 1911.
"No person or corporation in charge
of or control of any railroad train, or
station. or public or private school,
hotel or store, or state educational in
stitution or other state institution shall
furnish any drinking cup for public
use and no such person or corporation
shall permit on said railroad train, or
station, hotel, store, or at said public
or private school, or state educational
institution, or other state institutions
the common use of the drinking cup.

Dry Forces, Aided by Weak
Iings, Pass Measure.
ADOPT DRASTIC MEASURE
Cold Water Fanatics May Lose
by Governors Veto.

What is known as the search and
seizure" bill, a liquor bill drastic
enough to meet with the hearty ap-
proval from the most fanatical pro-
hibition crank, has passed both the
upper and lower house and now only
awaits the signature of the Governor
in order to become a law. The bill
went through the lower house by an
unanimous vote and it is said there
were but three dissenting votes in the
senate, all of which leads one to Won
der Just what sort of material some of
the legislators are made out Of, men
with spinal columns like jelly-fish.
At home, previous to the November
election, they are going to do what
is right, if elected will not vote for
this or that freak measure, seem to be
men of average intelligence, some
Judgment and stamen but there is
something in that Boise atmosphere
for after less than a months time in
Boise the Brilliant, thirty days in a
wet town, just about the time they
become SO familiar with the bar ten
ders of the Owyhee as to properly ad.
dress them by their first name, they
suddenly immerge cracked open
with dryness and vote for a measure
which if enacted into law will mean
strife, trouble and turmoil in every
community.
1t is hoped that Governor Hawley
will kill the bill when it comes to him
for signature.
The important features of the
search and seizure" bill are as fol
lows:
Places where liquor is found in
prohibition districts declared to be
public nuisances.
Finding of liquor on premises in
prohibition districts prima facie evi.
dence Of violation of law.
Landlord who permits sale of liquor
on his property in prohibition dis
trct is guilty of maintaining nui
sanee.
Officers given power to search prem
ises suspected of containing liquors tt
be cited before magistrate to give
sworn testimony.
No person is to be excused from
giving testimony on the plea that hi
testimony might incriminate himself.
Makes it the duty of all sheriffs
deputy sherifis, constable, mayors
marshals and police officers to notify
prosecuting attorney Of violation o
the law.
Any voter may employ an attorney
IN liquor cases.
All offenses of violator of the Law
may be included in one information
to be filed against him.

Judge Scott Fails
to Make a Citizen of
w. ]. B. Sherwood

Because Of peculiar IDEAS regarding
naturalization OF the late District Judge
Cunningham II. Scott OF Omaha, William
j. d. Sherwood OF Lansing, Mich. may
find that he never has been naturalized
and for seventeen years has voted and
has enjoyed all the other privileges Of an
American ciuEen. while he has been a
Canadian subject. p
In response to aAFequeet of Sherwood for
certificate of his admission to citIzen-
ship Asel steere. chief deputy clerk OF the
district tssi.essgsRlS On examination
OF the Naturalization records, which re-
veals that sherwoods admission-If he
ever was admrted-never has been en-
tered in the court journal.
In his letter to the clerk OF the district
court Sherwood says he was admitted 10
citizenship by Judge Scott in 1894 AT that
time he was resident OF Omaha. con-
Quoting school OF telegraphy.
Under present laws naturalization mat.
tiers are in charge OF the United States
Department Of Commerce and Labor
which delegates the naturallzat ton powers
to district courts thF6ughout the co,sp-
try. In those day tho .disttiet courts haa
full power to naturaliEb. fudge Scott wa :
OF the peculiar opinion that the "tudges
themselves must attend to all the details
OF naturalization, district court clerks and
deputies not being permitted to do the
clerical work.
Mr.. steere's Investigation shows that
In the Sherwood case Judge Scott entered
on the AFFIDAVIT book the affidavits of
witnesses that Sherwood had lived in the
United States the required time and also
sherwood's oath of allegiance; but there
lis no record OF actual admission 10 citi-
Eenship. either on the affidavith book or
the court calendar or in the journal
Mr. steere has advised Sherwood of the
situation and said he will take up the
matter with the Department OF Commerce
and Labor and see what can be done If
Sherwood so desires.
sherwood's letter does not say whv he
desires his citizenship certificate at this
time.
