SURVEY LANDS IN
NORTHERN IDAHO
LARGE PARTY LEFT BOISE FOR
OROFINO AND WILL WORK IN
TIMBER BELT.
Men VIII Survey Out Northern Pa
cific Lands Which Company Has
Urged For Many Years.

BOISE, June 18.-(Special.) AN
other party of government surveyors
has gone to Orofino where they will
enter the wilderness and begin the
work of surveying the Northern Pa
c1fic lands in the northern part of the
state.
This is the second party which has
gone on this work but the first was
sent out to lay out the base line and
this is the first to begin the actual
work of subdivision. Pack trains have
been taking food and supplies for the
horses and men into this country for
several weeks and several more par
ties will be sent in as soon as possi-
Bile. Owing to the scarcity of this
sort of work this summer, the parties
which will work for the government
have been made up for several months
and are now being sent out as fast as
their camps are made ready
The country to be surveyed in the
north is so rough and mountainous
that it is necessary to pack supplies
in and from a base before the crews
can be sent in for there is but little
grazing for the horses and much Of
the packing must be done on mule
back over the trails where a wagon
cannot penetrate. Later in the sum-
ner supplies will be taken in from
he Montana side but that trail is i'm
)assable at this time of the year.
The party which left is in charge of
Woodbury. Abbey United States sur
yeyor, and E. f. Striker United
States transitman.

Seems Mediation Fails.

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-For the
first time since the mediation negoti-
ations began it was admitted in ad-
ministration circles today that fail
ure was possible. Hope was not
abandoned but the fact that the Mex
lean ENJOYS had published their side
of the case was deemed unfavorable
1t is not denied that the break be-
tween Carranza and Villa, which is
generally admitted, actually occurred
despite statements to the contrary
and has furnished the Huertistas with
an argument against the selection of
for the provisional
presidency.

WAS TEMPORARILY INSANE.

LOS ANGELES, June 18.-At least
temporarily insane Is the judgment
passed by the police upon a man Civ
ing the name of R. R. Odkirk, who
has marked osculatory propensities.
Odkirk's peculiarity became mani
fest on a Long Beach-Los Angeles
train when he suddenly seized and
kissed a pretty woman passenger.
Then he turned and implanted a
fervent smack somewhere on the be-
whiskered visage of a gray patriarch
who quickly brought his cane into
play.

A very important meeting Of earn
est men Monday evening started the
movement that will determine the
status of Mt. Vernon toward the sa-
loon. The meeting was only prelimi-
nary to a general public meeting Of
voters at the court house Wednesday
evening, when formal action will be
taken that will start going the ma
chinery that will enable the holding
of an election by the middle of De-
cember to settle the question as to
whether the people will permit the op.
ening UP Of saloons in this city again.
There Is no gainsaying the opinion of
the voters of Mt. Vernon on the sub
jeot. At the county option election
some six years ago Mt. Vernon voted
for the expulsion of saloons by ma
jority of 143. Last week the election
demonstrated that majority Of the
people of Mt. Vernon had not changed
their attitude toward the saloons, for
by "a majority of ninety they voted
against the Home Rule amendment
There is no question about the senti
ment In Mt. Vernon against the open
ing up of saloons being stronger than
is represented by the ninety majority
cast against Home Rule, although that
majority was sufficient to demonstrate
the public feeling In the matter. The
question of Home Rule was one In the
abstract; that of having saloons In
Mt. Vernon is in the concrete. When
people stop and seriously reflect, az

The candidates on the Republican
county ticket who were showed under
al the election last week have come to
q realization Of how they were double
crossed by their executive committee
ana there is much bitter complaint
among some of them. They are not
mealey -mouthed in expressing their
opinion of the way their interests
we're neglected during the campaign
ana all efforts of the committee CEN
tered on Tate Cromley for representa-
tive aud Park Blair for common pleas
judge. They now recall the signfl-
canoe of Mr.. Cromley's attitude when
the committee was organized, shortly
after the primaries, when he objected
to every person proposed for chair
man by the other candidates, and
was SO persistent In his demand that
Mr.. Weaver be made chairman that he
prevailed. II ia now as plain as day
| light that the craftsmanship deal was
put over In the interests OF Cromley
ard Blair who were boosted to the
limit In the campaign by the commit
tee, and the other candidates practi
caliy left to shift for themselves. The
mess has left nasty taste In thu
mouths of the candidates who wer'
not in on the deal. II was the sam'
old Ring method that prevailed in tn,
Republican organization Of Kno'
county some years ago. Some inter
esting developments are promised II
the near future.

That Governor Cox intends to en-

to take squad down to Cincinnati
next Sunday and see that there are
no violations Of the law. Evidently

"a young fellow hasn't chance to
get anything around here in political
way, remarked a well-known young
Republican of this city. II wouldn't
mind having job on the county LID

ness of life has been to live off the
state, county or city right along.
They have the notion that the party
