LARGE HIGH LINE TRESTLE
ON FIRE.

The Camas Prairie company
seems to be having a run of bad
luck recently. After having brok
en- the five days snow blockade
between Grangeville and Fem,
and built track around the de-
rallied freight engine, which got
tipped over on its side while buck
ing the snow drifts, the Satur-
day mornings passenger on its
run to Lewiston, was probably
saved from serious accident
at the big trestle between Vol
liner and Reubens, the largest on
the line outside of the world beat
er at Lawyers canyon, which was
discovered to be on fire by P. L.
Bailey, farmer living near by,
who went up the track and flag
ged the train in time to stop it
before reaching the trestle. The
train was held at the bridge for
two hours while the train crew
was engaged in fighting the flam
es. A work crew was rushed to
the scene and after temporary re.
pairs the passenger train was
crossed.

voted to an illustrated course in
dairying. The farmers were very
attentive listeners and remained
to learn all they could about
dairying. One prominent farm
er stated that the lessons given
here by Prof. Frandson were
worth hundreds of dollars to hiEI.
Owing to the climatic condi-
tions of the Clearwater country,
it is especially fitted for the
dairy business. The weather is
never severe and feed of all kinds
can be raised in abundance.

CREAMERY FOR SITES.

A well attended mass meeting
of the farmers of the Clearwater
valley was held at Sites last Sat
urday afternoon for the purpose
of completing the organization
of a cooperative creamery COM
pany.

those in the eastern states. The
directors elected are as follows
James Surridge, of Harpster
J. B. York, Clearwater; Fred
Huffman, Sites; III. H. Highfield
Sites; and Robt, Kyle, of Tahoe.
The organization started off
with twenty-one charter members
representing some one hundred
and fifty cows. Stockholders
will be taken in right along which
will bring in five hundred to six
hundred cows.
Prof. j. Ell. Frandson, of the
Moscow university, was in attend
ance at the meeting, and gave
very valuable assistance toward
getting the organization complet-
ed. A part of the day was de-

BOB ADMITS HE
PREVARICATED
No Truth in His Charges
Against Brady-All For
Political Effect.

Charges of graft, mishandling
of lands and misconduct in office
preferred against the members Of
the old state land board were
dwarfted into comparative insig-
nificance in point of popular in
terest by the statements of Rob-
ert Landson before the Legislat-
tive investigating committee,
which are in effect that the
charges brought by him through
the medium of a Boise newspaper
were utterly unfounded in fact,
had no basis whatever and were
simply part of the political fight
against Governor Brady. That
they were written in such man
ner that they were not charges
at all, but simply a series of ques-
tions intended to draw attention
to something the authenticity of
which he did not vouch for and
in fact knew nothing whatever
about.
The whole thing was fiasco,
says the Statesman, and when it
dawned upon the committeeman
and spectators alike just what
Landson words amounted to,
there was general laugh in
which Lansdon joined with the
rest. Former Governor Brady an
nounced that the charges of Lam
sdon were not taken seriously at
the time they were made and were
looked upon only as political ut
terances made during the heat
of the campaign and should not
be taken seriously by the com
mittee.
Lansdon was asked to take the
witness stand and on being inter
rogated by Representative Hut
ton the following dialogue ensued
/" What basis have you for the
charges contained in your let
ter9''

OLD TIMER I'm
OLD MEXICO
Writes Interestingly of Or
ange Blossoms But Says
Nothing of Greasers.

by A. L. Alexander from G. r.
Chase, well known to all Camas
Prairie old timers, having grown
up right here in the midst of
them in the garden spot Of the
whole northwest, will no doubt
be read with deep interest by
his many friends. Mr.. Chase is
now engaged in the general mer-
chandising business at Los Ester
or, columbus Station, lamps,
Mexico, with 7. j. Moore, under
the firm name of "The American
Mercantile Co." He writes:
Dear Sir and Bro
"This mornings mail brought
your letter to me; | was pleas
ed to hear from you and espec-
tally so to learn that you intend
to come to Old Mexico.
"You asked me how l liked the
countryY | think it is the best
country / ever saw. The climate
is ideal, the soil is excellent, and
the opportunities for a man of
limited means are greater here
than any country | know of any
where. / have not seen any frost
since | landed in Mexico, but
the other day | went out into
the country a few miles to look at
some land and | saw one farmer
who had planted out some peach
trees 3 years ago and those lit
tie trees are just loaded with
bloom now, and | found another
man who had also put out
orange trees about 3 years ago
and they too were just white with
orange blooms.
Last Thanksgiving day | had
the pleasure of eating some or
anges from the same trees. They
are the Washington Naval "
variety and very fine orange.
1--WE have all kinds of fresh
vegetables in the store and have
had for some time, such as roast
ing ears, sweet and Irish pota-
toes, cabbage, tomatoes, string
beans, onions, beets, carrots, etc.
Yes, we live in Columbus,
which is a new town on 1.-The
international Railroad" running
from Laredo, Texas, to Tampieo,
Mexico. The new r. r. from
Brownsville, Texas, to Tampico,
leaves the main line at this point,
so we expect to make good
place of Columbus in the near
future.
Certainly every thing is very
new here, because three years ago
it was all in the jungle. Now the
farmers have seven or eight hum
dred acres of as fine cotton as
you ever saw in any country, and
they have contracted whit a man
from Oklahoma to install a cot
ton gin in the next forty days.
Since moving here and becom-
ing acquainted with the country
and the people / can find land
for sale at better figure than /
could last spring when | was in
Mexico.
IF you will come in the next
two or three months, without
some radical change strikes the
colony, / will agree to find you
some good farming land for $40
per acre, and possibly some for
less. That of course would de-
pend on location and distance
from r.. r., etc.
"You are at liberty to use this
letter any way you feel like, or
if you prefer you can have it pub
lished in the local papers.
Hoping to hear from you at
an early date, and later to see
you again face to face, | am as
ever, yours.
