w. c. McNutt Of Elk City is Real
Optimist.
PRAISES PROGRESS|VENESS
Pronounces Mines the Best in the
World.

w. G. McNutt, of Elk City, who
will be remembered as former city
engineer here, is now stopping at the
Imperial Hotel, having been called to
Grangeville on business. When
questioned as to our city he stated
that he noted great improvements,
and complimented the citizens on
their progressiveness. While he was
here, he states that great part of
the business district Of the town con-
sisted of wooden or frame buildings,
and when the fire occurred which
perhaps might have been considered a
misfortune at the time, the people
seem to have set to in earnest and
built up with good substantial brick
buildings, and the business part of the
city is fast becoming district that
would be a credit to any place Of this
size. He reverted to sort Of re-
miniscent mood and remarked II see
on the old corner where the Jersey
House used to stand there is now
standing the Imperial Hotel, three
story brick building, where the old
time miner finds home the same as
of Old As to the mining situation
in Idaho county, he said that he could
only say that Elk City, Dixie, Ten
Mile and and Orogrande districts
contained the greatest bodies of free
milling ore in the world, and with
proper transportation and mining
methods will prove itself such.
We have now practically installed a
custom mill or experimental plant,
which now have their machinery near
completion and which will be in opera
tion, he is informed, within the next
ten days, which will treat custom ore
and concentrates from the different
mines of the camp. This plant is in
charge Of Mr.. M. F. Tytler, a mining
engineer of great experience. When
installed and in operation, this plant
will treat the concentrates and make
test runs, in other words, treat any
ore that is brought to it, and give the
miner and prospector an understand
ing as to his ore and its value. There
is now on hand great amount of
concentrates ready for treatment and
it will be treated by this plant. We
have great faith in this enterprise,
and | feel perfectly confident that this
plant after the machinery is properly
adjusted and in working order will
prove to the outside world that we
have what we claim.

Adjudged Insane.

Mrs. Elsie Benoy, wife Of Tom Ben
oy, a blacksmith of Sites, was up
before the probate court the first of
the week and her mental conditions
examined into. 1t seems she had
been confined in the Orofno institu-
ton early this year and was released
in July but since then her conditions
have become worse. The woman has
undoubtedly had bright mind which
has been wrecked through dissipation.
Also her home surroundings were
not the best and doubtless life has
held but little pleasure for her. The
case was sad one and should cause
the most heartless to experience a
deep pity for Mrs. Benoy. She was
committed to Orofno where the sur
roundings no doubt will assist in the
treatment given and restore her mind.

DEATH At M|LL|A NOTED VISITOR
Mason Crushed Death Imnera Potenate Treat Head of
Rolling Logs Shrine Here
UCCURRED LAST SATURDAY CAME Up ON SPECIAL TRAIN
deceased was citizen OF Local Shners Masons Hon
Cranoeville
]. E. Mason Crushed to Death by
Rolling Logs.
OCCURRED last SATURDAY
Deceased was Former Citizen oi
Grangeville.

j. Z. Mason, a former citizen Of
Whitebird, who up until last week
conducted the Mammoth feed barn in
this city, was killed at a logging
camp, four miles from Sites last
Saturday night by being struck by a
broken chain. At the time of the
tragedy there was no one present and
the exact details of his death will never
be known.
Mr.. Mason closed out his lease on
the Mammoth barn last week and
moved his family to the Mckenzie
sawmill at Luke's Gulch, where he
secured employment. On Saturday
he was employed hauling logs from
the timber to the mill and toward
evening, when making his last trip
with logs, had passed several men a
short distance from the mill. A
quarter of an hour after his arrival
at the mill the men were startled by
cry of anguish from Mason and
rushing to the skidway, found him
unconscious and in great agony.
Medical aid was at once summoned
from Sites but he expired shortly
after the accident, never regaining
consciousness. An examination of
the body showed two. fractured ribs,
bruise on the back Of the head and
that his neck was broken. 1t is the
theory of those who were there that
the chain holding the logs on the
wagon had broken and released the
logs which rolled over him and crushed
out his life.
The deceased was a man close to
forty years of age, leaves wife,
several children, mother, two sisters
and a brother One of the sisters,
Mrs. Rossiter, living near this city
and a brother being resident OF
Lewiston. He was member of the
Woodmen in good standing and has
many friends here as well as the other
sections where he has lived.
The funeral was held Monday from
the Christian church, the services
being conducted by c. I. Mcdonald
the remains were laid to rest in the
Prairieview cemetery.

The Beauties of Local Option.

from the Twin Falls Times, Idaho

Falls paper they are throwing them
in by the half dozen down there, and
in commenting on the arrests the
Times says:
''lf the present procession Of convic-
tions continues for liquor selling the
city will have on hand some valuable
material for inaugurating chain
gang for work on the city streets. At
present there are six men boarding al
the expense of the city getting square

ty jail and the treatment accorded
them must be pleasant for one mar

New Jail About Completed.

The new jail cells, recently ordered
by the commissioners, are being erect
ed this week in the room of the Grab
ski building, just east of the court
house. The expert from the factory
who arrived the last of the week, is
being assisted by local men and stated
to the writer that the cells and corri-
dor will be up and ready for occupan-
cy by the end of the week. There
are four cells and if necessary four
prisoners can be placed in each, thus
ahording room for sixteen. The
structure, which is built of heavy
steel, sits in the center Of the room
and it looks as though man woule
not be able to make his escape unless
furnished with saw and chisel.
The sheriffes office will be movee
from the courthouse to the room oc
cupied by the jail and the necessity
of an extra man for jailer be obviated

Two Asotin Lads Got Away With
Indians Horses.
CAPTURED AT AS0T|N FRIDAY
Do Not Deny Their Guilt and
Ready to Serve Time.

During the past several years
ranchers and stockmen of Idaho coun-
ty have suffered considerable loss
through the theft of animals by thieves
and while every effort has been made
by the officers to break up the gang
as we'll as take in the independent
operators, there still exists more OF
less trouble from this source.
The latest work along this line was
reported from Kooskia last week
when GA "Wednesday night four
horses Rrre stolen from an Indian by
tile name Montieth. The animals
we're taken from the pasture and the
morning following, jeff Hendren, the
local constable, started on the trail Of
the thieves. There was evidence Of
the outfit having headed for Asotin'
Wn., SO the Kooskia peace officer
took the train to that point, where he
was successful in catching the thieves
two young. men and the animals ar
irving there Saturday morning. They
were arrested and brought back te
Grangeville where the preliminary
was held Monday before Judge Wood
ward who bound them over to thu
district court in bonds to the amount
of ST, 900 each. 1t is said the young
men practically admitted their gull
and only regretted that sentences
could not be passed at once and they
begin serving time.
They gave the names of Charlie
Ross and Frank Duncan and CLAIM
to be from the Asotin section. Th'
prisoners do not exactly look lik'
hardened criminals but no doub
their early capture has cut short
career of crime.

School Notes.

The first month of school, which
closed on Friday, has in many respects
given reason for encouragement. Not
only has the quality of the work
done by the pupils grown better dur
ing the month, but the quantity has
increased and majority of high
school and grade pupils are doing a
reasonable amount of work. Yet
there is room for much Improvement.
Many pupils do yet realize that school
is a place for real earnest study and
not haven for the idler. In fact, |
am inclined to believe the Idler is
finding the school very unpleasant
place for the proper enjoyment Of his
much desired repose.
The entire enrolment for the
month was 392 against All for The
same month last year, and the daily
attendance was in the same proper
ton, our attendance being 335. One
strikingly good thing in this months
report is the low number Of tardy
cases; another is the high number
of pupils who attended every day
Both Of these are good indica ton o
the right kind of school spirit
While the enrolment in the grades
was less than last year, in the Higl
School there was an increase of l;
per cent, making the total enrollmen
sevent-fve. OF these at least hal
dozen could not stand the strain 0
even the first months work, henc'
left school. We are sorry to los
them, but when there is no way t
arouse them to study, it is better TO
the school that they are no longer 1
standing example Of idleness.

Honor the Governors.

Boise, Idaho, September 30. From
present indications, the party of gov
ernors who will tour the east on the
..Governors' Special will be feted
and dined in a manner be6ttlng
royalty. From communications re-
ceived at the Office of Reilly Atkin-
son, manager Of the tour, it is inferred
that each state visited will make
special preparations for the entertain
ment of the gubernatorial party.
According to advices received from
Francis c. Mccarthy, manager of the
Pittsburg, Pennsylvania land show,
the visit of the executives to the
Keystone state will be especially
marked by entertainments and
courtesies in their honor. Mr.. Nc
Carthy states, that Governor Tener
of Pennsylvania will meet the special
at the state line, aud will remain
with the party while it is in the state.
Formal and informal receptions are
being arranged. and practically every
moment of the stay of the special in
Pennsylvania, has been provided for.
The management of the Pittsburg
land show has also made arrange
ments for ceremonies beftting the
visit of the distinguished guests, and
in every way the "Governors' Special
will occupy the limelight while in
Pennsylvania.
This is sure to result in much pub
licity for the movement and its object,
and it is thought that the trip will
cause the people of the east to gain
more comprehensive knowledge OF the
vast resources of the western empire.
