81 MILES FOREST TELEPHONE.

An extra crew for work on tele-
phone construction In the Selway for
est started out this morning in charge
of Lou McNair. They will start i'm
at Selway Falls and work along the
Selway river to the Three Forks, a
distance of 81 miles. 1t will take
about thirty days to complete the
work mapped out in that locality,
which will be about all the new work
in this line undertaken this season. .
The forest service has been doing
good work in the construction of tele-
phone lines for the past few years,
and splendid service is maintain
ed, although 1T is far from being
what forest officers desire. Some
day it will be perfect.
Scant appropriations is the only rea
son why this work drags along, and
it required some close figuring at
forest headquarters here to get the
system in such good working order
as it is at present.-Kooskia Noun

HILL PEOPLE
PLAN BIG COUP
Boise Roads Bought; Proba-
bly, Headed North and
West.

Boise Capital News: That the Hill
interests are behind the deals con.
summated In this city In the purchas-
ing of the three electric lines and
the power plants in the SURROUNDING
territory and that the deals are but
part Of gigantic scheme to get
control of this territory by continu.
ing its line up the Deschutes river In
Oregon, thence to Burns, Ontario
and Boise, connecting this city with
Portland and using the electric lines
as feeders, is the report made by q
man of high standing in financial cir
cles in this city and who is in close
touch with the big deals formerly
made here.
According to his report the situa-
ton is similar here to what it was in
Spokane when the Hill interests pur-
chased the electric power lines in thai
city and that the scheme is to build
a net work of lines over southern
Idaho connecting with all the princi-
pal towns and using them as feeders
for the main line, the terminus of
which will be in this city.
1t is known that the Hill interests
own large amount of land in the
vicinity of Burns, Ore, and that the
Hill railroad development in Oregon
is toward that territory. With the
Pacific & Idaho Northern to connect
with the Hill road at Grangeville and
with am electric line connecting with
that road at Weiser the Hill inter
ests would have a strong hold in this
territory.
While the above statement is not
official in any way, still it comes
from man who has been in close
touch with the men who have engi-
neered several of the big deals here
and there are indications which point
to the correctness of the report.

TEN MILE GETS
ROAD AND MILL
Purchasers of French Pete
Mine Make improvements
Other Notes.

A communication from the New
some district says several of the H.
nanciers who recently acquired the
French Pete mines in the Ten Mile
district passed through here enroute
to their properties. They were ac-
companied by mining engineer who
VIII start the survey of a wagon road
to the mines from a point on the
Leggett creek wagon road near this
place.
The wagon road will be run
through or near the Leggett creek
placers to the South Fork of the
Clearwater river where the river will
be bridged and thence up Santiam
gulch to the French Pete mines.
Newsome creek will also be bridged
at the mouth of Meadow creek. This
Is the point where the Leggett creek
wagon road leaves the Elk City
Grangeville road. The length of the
road will approximate eight miles.
Several teams are already on the
way from the outside to start work
ON the new wagon road The new
owners of the property will begin
the erection of mill as soon as the
machinery can be taken in over the
wagon road. Two carloads of mill
machinery has already been shipped.
The French Pete mine, recorded as
the Occur d'Alnee group, is consid-
cred the richest and best developed
property in the Ten Mile district.
The properties have been opened up
with several hundred feet of tunnel
and shaft work and the vein opened
up for several hundred feet at
depth of about 500 feet.
Develop Near Newsome.
Fred and Coon" Smith are do
ing development work on the prop
critics of the New York Consolidated
Mining company, located a short dis
lance south of here. The surface
soil and lose rock have been sluiced
off on one OF the claims exposing a
big ledge OF nigh grade ore showing
considerable free gcla.
A Long Placer Run.
The Leggett creek placers have
had an unusually long run this sea-
son, the water being more abundant
than for several years. A force of
20 men has been employed all sea-
son until recently when the crew was ?
cut down to seven men, which is suf-
ficient to make the final clean up.
Good Accommodation on Road.
The Mud Springs station has ceased
to keep travellers and the Newsome
station now gets the trade that form
erly went to that place. The addi-
tonal business keeps the Newsome
station crowded every night. Harry
Foulks keeps a good stopping place
at the Switchback as also does
French & Heater at Corral Hill.
The latter two stations are located
on the road towards the Grangeville-
Sites end and are great comfort
and convenience to outward bound
travellers as well as to those coming
this way who do not care for too long
a ride in one day.

The public is discounting politics

made, when the run was made over
the High Line to Grangeville. Last
night the special went through to
Spokane enroute to the coast.
Judge Lovett upon the arrival of
the special yesterday took few min
utes' walk about the platform and
talked freely with Tribune represen-
tative. Speaking of business condi-
tions, he said:
Especially throughout the west,
the conditions are of an encouraging
nature. You can't keep back a coun-

Mr.. Lovett said that his lines at
this time contemplated no immediate
railroad construction in this field.
The only new work receiving atten-
ton, he said related to the compile

Judge LOvett was asked If he felt

PROGRESSIVES IN CONTROL
Plans for New Third Party Adopted Taft Endorsement OverWheln,-
 ingIy Beaten, 773 to 342.

Des Moines, la. July 12.-Progres- stves were in control of the Repuh- lican state convention.
 Republicans of Iowa were left free to vote for either President Taft or Col. Roosevelt next November by the action of the delegates. The matter was left entirely to the individual conscience of the voter," and the plat form, containing a direct attack upon the legality of the Chicago conven- tion, was adopted by an overwhelm- Ing vote.
 The progressives dominated the convention from the beginning to the end. Despite hard struggle, led by Gov. B. F. Carroll, Taft adherent. to secure the indorsement of the nation al platform. the amendment offered by the Iowa executive containing the indorsement was laid on the table by vote of 773 to 342.
 Immediately after the adjournment of the convention the progressive del egates attended a meeting presided aver by Judge Joseph l.. Stevens Of Boone, leader of the Roosevelt forces iu Iowa, at which plans for the new |, third party movement were adopted.

MESSAGE IS CAUSE OF BREAK
Message to Girl, "i Love You For ever," When Received Reads,
 "i Leave You Forever"

New York. July 12.-A young man. suddenly feeling an overwhelming affection for his fiances. hastened to a telegraph office and wrote this mes sage to her: T love you forever"
 When the message was received by the young woman 1t read: T leave you forever"
 She sent back the engagement ring. gifts and letters, and 1t is understood that before the young man could ex- plain she had accepted another suitor.
 The young man has put in claim for damages against the telegraph company, and alienation of the girls affections is said to be the charge.
 The companys defense is that the mistake was not due to negligence. but that the Morse alphabet for love" and leave" is so much alike that trouble on the wire caused the error.
 Under the laws of New York tele- graph company is liable only for gross negligence If the sender does not have the message repeated.

NELSON LEADS NEW PARTY
KANSAS CITY EDITOR IS NOW
 SLATED FOR COMMITTEEMAN.
Work of Securing Petitioners to Be Delayed Until After Chicago Con-
 vention, August 5.

Kansas City, July 12.-William R. Nelson, owner of the Kansas City Star, is to be the national committee man of the new progressive party for Missouri, if Theodore Roosevelt ever gets the organization on it's feet.
 Nelson joined the movement for the third party when the former candi- date for the presidency announced at Chicago that he would establish one. He was one of the few prominent pub fishers who joined the movement.
 The packers of the St. Louis com mittee, of which Paul Janis is presi- dent and Spearman Lewis secretary, expect to put a ticket of electors in the field by petition. Under the Mis- souri law, the progressive party man. agers say, they can file a list of elect ors by petition.
 They hold the law authorizes them to secure a list of signatures aggre- gating 1 per cent of the vote cast for president in the preceding presiden- tial election. The maximum number of bona fide voters signatures re- quired, however, is 1000 If the pro- gressives can secure that number, they believe, they will be able to have their ticket in the field. The plans are contingent upon the party having a candidate for president. That they will have the candidate is the firm belief of the St. Louis members. They hold to the idea that the call for a convention at Chicago on Aug. 5 will net them a candidate.
 Until the candidate Is nominated" declared Secretary Lewis, 'it Is hard ly likely we will do anything toward securing the necessary number of sig natures to file list of IS electors.
 After the Chicago convention 1t is probable we will hold state conven- tion at either Kansas City or St. Louis to select the electors. Their names will be incorporated on lists for sig natures so that there can be no doubt as to their legality in presenting them to the secretary of state"

The Peevish Child
 Needs a axati i've

It Is natural for child to laugh and play and when it sulks drowsily or cries you may depend on it something physical is the matter. If you see no evidences of a serious ailment you will not be wrong if you quietly give it a dose of mild laxative that evening on putting it to bed.
 The remedy most generally recom- wells Syrup Pepsin. which mothers throughout the country have been giving their children for a quarter of a cen tury. Today thousands of families are using it where hundreds used it then, and there must be good reason for this word of mouth recommendation.
 1t is admittedly the perfect laxative for children, women, old people and all others who need gentle bowel stimu- lant and not a violent salt, cathartic pill or doctored water. pr. Caldwells s taken before retiring will bring com
