LATE STORM
WAS BAD
Roads Were Nearly Impass-
able,

able.
The cold wave that swept over
the country last week. uneXpect-
edly turned to a chinook, and
last Thursday rain commenced
falling.
The heavy fall of loose snow
soon became so soft that it was
next to impossible for teams to
get through it. The stage bound
for Sites Friday morning, went,
off the grade on Baldy, and was
not gotten off until night. The
passengers, who were G. l.. l..
Basket, Mrs. Oscar Maxwell and
daughter, and Mr.. and Mrs. Ed.
Lingo and child, of Elk City
were marooned at the Mountain
House, until the incoming stage
arrived, when they were sent on
out. The mail was taken by the
carriers and packed to Newsome.
While this state of affairs con-
tinued on the stage road for
several days, Elk City was not
without mail, for it was sent out
on time every day and while late
at times it always arrivedln gocd
Shape.
In this respect Elk City was
more fortunate than Grangeville,
for the High Line railroad was
out of commission and the mail
had to be sent around by way of
Sites.
While the mail carrier on the
Dixie route had his troubles there
was no delay on this route.
The weather has now settled
and turned colder, and it is prob
able that no more trouble will te
experienced this winter.

CUSTOM MILL
MAKING GOOD
Is Now Running Steadily on
Fine Ore.

The custom mill has about run
the ore from the Major claims
through, and will probably clean
up tomorrow.
There is now quite tonnage
of ore from the Mineral Zone
group on hand, and teams are
busy hauling every day. Aside
from inclemant weather, the
Mineral Zone is in a position to
furnish ore for a long run. This
ore is being taken from under
hand stopes, and the cuts are
long, and the ore is sent to the
mill as it is broken down. The
vein, as the cut is opened to the
east, is widening and the values
are holding their own.
Word. has been received by
Manager Tytler from several
other parties that have ore sacked
ready to ship, and this.will be
brought in, in a short time.

men representing the various dis
tricts represented. This will af-
ford investors as well as opera

to learn what they wish to know
about the mines in which they
have an especial interest.
The meetings of the conven-
tion will be open to the public,
and a large attendance is expect
ed. Provisions are being made
to handle at least 1000 visitors
from out-of-town points. The
railways are arranging for re-
duced,rates from all points in the
states of Montana, Washington,
Idaho, Oregon, Cal lifornia, Utah
and the province of British Col
umbia and this will, of course,
bring hundreds of people to Spo-
kane not directly interested in
the mining industry.
No move among men engaged
in the mining industry has caused
more interest for many years
than this gathering in Spokane.
Mining is one of the greatest in
dustries of the Inland Empire,
and has of late been given too
little attention by those not
directly interested. But men
engaged in other lines of bust
ness are awakening to the fact
that much of the phenomena

the work to be accomplished have
been appointed, and there is now
every assurance that this will be
a record breaker in both atten-

national reputation have been in

about due, he took the mail sack
off the toboggan and putting it
on his back started out ahead OF
his horse. Just as the horse ar
rived at the point where the slide
occurred he stopped, and before
Esh could get back to help the
horse the slide took. him over the

{ An incident that serves to prove to

r, M. BUCK REPLIES TO HANNA'S
-. STATEMENT lN5sPURLIclTY
SS,5 # N; PAMPHLET. e ~

In his statement, printed in the pub
licity pamphlet, Congressman Hanna
calls attention to a number of bills in
troduced by him in his sundry. legisla!
tive sessions. He heads the list with
a bill entitled an act placing a bounty
upon the manufacture of potato starch.
On it's face this would seem to be a
good bill, encouraging the birth of a
new industry. Hanna does not point
out that his bill was an exact copy Of
similar law passed in 1890, which
had been in operation for five years
without developing activity in the man
ufacture of potato starch, nor does he
outline his purpose in renewing the
law and making the bounty available
for a second five-year period. %:5a5
His bill fixed bounty of one cent
to be paid for every pound of potato
starch manufactured for five years be-
ginning in 1895. The bill became a
law. Let us examine the effect of the
bill by going to the records of the state
treasurer's office.
Two starch factories were started in
1895, one at Hillsboro, by S. j., Mealy
and F. H. Brown, and one at Hankin-
son by the late R. N. Hankinson, Geo.
NJ. Fry and others. They went out of
business as soon as the bounty law ex-
PRED. Of course, the high price of po-
tatoes helped make the business IN
profitable at. about that same period.
Who controlled these factories, and
in whose interest was the law passed ?
Who got the bounty money?
The records show that under Han
mas law, S16,2O9S6 were paid in boun-
ties during the five years. The first
payment was made in 1897 on war
rants in favor of Mealy, Brown, Hank
inson and Fry, endorsed to Ed. Pierce.
The state treasurer's check covering
the amount of the warrants, was issue
for s1O,673.26 "".to Ed. Perez Of the En-
Ederlin state bank" of which Pierce was
president. !. & 81
M Thus of the $16,209.s6 paid in five
years, Pierce got s1o,67s.2e. Pierce
was not in the legislature at that time,
but was later and when in the legisla-
ture and also at this period of potato
starch bounty, he was one Of the main
cogs in the Mckenzie disreputable ma
chine. s. 4. 5z.s 4. I,
The connection Of the two factories
is still further shown by the fact that
IN 1893 two warrants were issued to s.
J. Mealy, one for s418 Of the bounty
earned at Hillsboro, and one fort$ ,815
earned at Hankinson. In19O0, the last
payment was made Of $3,303.60 jointly
to Mealy and Brown Of the Hillsboro
factory, but for bounties earned by
both actories. The lions share Of
this easy money seems to have gone TO
Pierce.
In the session Of 1897 Senator Dobie
got wise to the real significance Of
sHanna's law and oduced a bill to
repeal 1T and do away with the boun-
