Greatest in History of World.


Accepting the early estimates of
the fatality list as accurate, the dis
aster is the greatest in the marine
history of the world Nearest ap-
preaching it in magnitude were the
disasters to the steamer Atlantic in
1873, when 574 lives were lost, and
La Bourgoyne, in 1898, with d fatal
ity list of 81.
Should it prove that other liners,
notably the Allan liners Partisan and
Yirginan, known to have been in the
vicinity of the Titanic early Monday,
had picked up other passengers, the
extent of the calamity would be great
ly reduced. This hope still remains.

Will Be Lively Season.

From present indications Cot
tonwood will be the scene of con-
siderable business activity dur
ing the present year. Aside
from the number of new build
Iings to be erected here during
the year conditions look good for
a material increase in business
in all lines and our merchants
and business men are laying in
larger stocks of goods in order
to be in shape to handle the in
creased trade.
In the line of new buildings to
be erected during the year may
be noted the following: The
Hoene block, which is now prac-
tically finished except to put in
the front and do the inside finish
ing; the Simon Bros. meat mark
ct, which will be built of brick,
with plate glass front, and be
perhaps two stories high; the
$50, 900 brick High School build
ing, upon which work will start
as soon as the weather will per-
NIT in the spring; a new brick
block for the Cottonwood Hard
ware & Implement Co., which
may possibly be erected by that
firm on the site of their old store
location on the corner Of Front
and King streets during the COM
ing year; new frame building
to be erected by John Funke on
his lot on Main street and Broad
way; and a possible extensive
addition to st. Michael's Monas-
terry west of town. These, with
a number of private dwellings,
will make business active in the
building line and will furnish
employment for a large force of
men. Altogether, it should prove
to be busy year for US all and
one that will see Cottonwood a
much bigger and better town at
its close.

kuther-Nau Wedding.

The marriage of Miss Frances
Kuther and Albert Nau was SOL
emnized at the Catholic church
here on Wednesday morning,
Rev. Father Boniface officiating.
Miss Rose Nau acted as brides
maid and Henry Kuther as best
man. After the ceremony the
wedding dinner was partaken of
at the Kuther home where many
guests assembled to do honor to
the young couple. At night a
big wedding dance was given in
the Haener hall, which was at
tended by a large number of
friends of the young people.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Nau stand
high in the esteem of the resi-
dents of this section and have
many friends who wish them all
kinds of welded bliss. They
will reside on a farm near town
which the groom has rented.

heavy as the grade up the Ke n
drlck hill. By making this con-
nection the ROAD would then be
in shape to begin operating at
once instead of lying idle five or
six months longer while - the
eighty or ninety miles of expen-
sive grade were being built down
the river to Lewiston. This strip
of track from the mouth of Rocky
Canyon to Lewiston along the
river would be very expensive
one and would cost the company
between two and three millions
OF dollars to construct. 1t does
not look reasonable then to think
that the company would go to
this heavy expense when by
building but twelve miles of track
it could connect with the prairie
line and serve practically the
same ends.
That some such aim is in view
we fully believe from rumors
that have been floating about
within the past week. The fact
that the Camas Prairie railway
company purchased three hun
dred feet of right of way through
Cottonwood when the road was
built few years ago clearly in
dicated some future necessity for
additional trackage at this point.
Within the past week or so one
of the local hotel men has receiv-
ed several flattering offers to rent
his hotel for the next six months
or longer and a railroad man at
Lewiston who is in position to
know has had friends on the look
out for town property at this
place. Drifting straws often
show which way the wind is
blowing and from present indica-
tions we feel safe in predicting
that Cottonwood is destined to
have another railroad within the
not far distant future.
Even though the Pittsburg &
Gilmore road should decide to
build on down the river, it is
quite likely that it would build a
feeder onto the prairie, as this
section is far too rich to be pass
ed up by any road that can get
into it as easily as can the new
line by the Grave Creek-Rocky
Canyon route.
Keep you weather eye on Cot
tonwood. This place may become
quite a railroad center in time to
come.

P. & G. BUILD
THIS YEAR

Prairie Line at This Place
Rather Than Build Expen
sive River Road to Lewiston
Fridays Portland Oregoniar
gives in further detail the an.
nouncement handled by the AS.
sociated Press dispatches Friday
night that the Chicago & North.
western railway would build the
Salmon City-Lewiston line, thus
giving that road direct coast con.
nections. The Oregonian article,
appearing on the first page OF
that publication, is as follows:
Direct connection between
the existing lines of the Chicago
& Northwestern railway and the
Pacific coast through both Port
land and Coos Bay is the gigantic
plan undertaken by the directors
of that road, who have sent
William A. Gardner, president of
the lines, to the northwest to
make immediate arrangements
for beginning construction work.
"Mr. Gardner, it was reported,
was in Boise and vicinity yester-
day and may come to Portland
within a week. 1t is in Idaho
that the present activity of the
Northwestern is in progress. 1t
will extend into Oregon within
the present year, is the an
nouncement.
"The general plan by which
the Northwestern will extend its
lines to the coast comedies with
that outlined through The Ore
gonian a year ago. However,
the relationship recently effected
with the Northern Pacific pre-
cludes the necessity of the North
western building a line from it's
present terminus at Lander,
Wyo., but will enable it to con-
meet its Idaho holdings with a
convenient point on the Northern
Pacific main line in Montana,
thereby forming an eastern out
let.
"The western connection to
Portland will be formed by a line
to be built along the Salmon riv-
err, to a point near Lewiston,
where it will connect with the
Northern Pacific and operate over
the Camas Prairie line to Pasco,
thence over the North Bank
tracks to Portland.
"The Northwestern already
owns the Pittsburg & Gilmore
road, operating a line between
Armstead, Mont, and Salmon
City, Idaho, on the Salmon river.
Extension of this line from Sal
mon along the Samon river to it's
junction with the Snake river
and to point near Lewiston has
b en- authorized. Lewiston
Tribune.
1t has never been the habit of
the CHRONICLE to indulge in
much railroad building on paper
but we cannot help calling the
attention of the public at this
time to the very apparent proba-
lbllity of CottonWood's securing
another railroad within the next
year or so. AS outlined in the
above article, arrangements have
been made whereby the Chicago
land Northwestern railroad will
make joint use of the Northern
Pacific lines in getting through
to the coast and what is more
natural than to suppose that the
Pittsburg & Gilmore road, which
i is only a link in the Northwest

'Camas Prairie line at this place
when it completes its line down
Salmon river from Salmon City.

HAWLEY VET0ES
TAX MEASURE

SoNSlIiOt w Ill lNOt Stdllu III
"Half a Loaf Measure.
Legislature Ready to ,Ad.
jOurn but Still in Session..
A Boise dispatch dated Jan. 20
says: By joint resolution both
houses of the Idaho legislature
have decided to adjourn tomor-
row evening at 6 o'clock. So far
as the actual amendment Of the
revenue law is concerned, the
state is in exactly the same posi-
ton now as it was prior to the
convening of the extra session
and unless something unusual oc-
ours, conditions will not have
changed materially by the time
the gavels of the presiding Off
GERS fall for the last time.
The veto of house bill No. 81,
known as the republican tax re-
lief measure, by Governor Haw-
ley today, although anticipated
by some of the members, came
as kind of shock to the major
ity of the legislature, who had
the impression, born of desire
largely, that the governor would
be satisfied with half a loaf rath-
er than no bread. In other men,
bers it aroused fierce anger. This
was particularly. true among the
insurgent members of the repub-
licans in the lower house, who at
once became the most rabid op-
ponents OF the governors de-
mands.
The republicans of both the
house and senate met in causus
tonight. The house republicans
after considerable discussion de-
cided to make one more effort at
securing remedial legislation, and
a plan of action was decided on,
practically as follows:
House bill No. 35, now on third
reading, will be passed with
amendments. The bill now pro-
vides for an appropriation of $5,-
600 to be expended by the state
board of equalization in the en-
ployment of experts and the pay
ment of their expenses to inves-
tigate and report to the state
board in regard to valuations of
property and assessments as
made in the various counties so
that the state board may have
data upon which to base their
equalization. The amendments
will include house bill No. 81 in
its entirety, except that the
measure will, as provided in
house bill No. l, known as the
governors bill which was killed,
provide for the spreading of the
full cash value of property on the
assessment rolls, as we'll as the
40 per cent for taxation purposes
and clarifying the provisions of
house bill No. 81 in regard to
bank assessments.
The senate caucus was not in
session so great a length of time
as the house caucus and reached
the conclusion that their action
would to an extent depend upon
the conclusion reached by the
house caucus, with the proviso
that the extra session of the leg
islature should adjourn tomor-
row.
The discussion in the senate
caucus was reported to be some
what spirited. Some of the men,
bers who had tried hardest to
reach basis for legislative SER
vice to the people, as between
the wishes of the governor and
the beliefs of the republican
members. were not chary in
charging bad faith on the part of
the governor in permitting the
republicans to believe that a
basis of agreement had been
reached, when in point of fact, as
had finally developed. the govern
or had at no time intended to sign
house bill No. 81, and had proba-
