Cameron LbT. Co.
Noted DAMAGE Suit

The Idaho supreme court has
rendered an opinion in The case
of the Cameron Lumber company
vs.. the Stack-Gibbs Lumber COM
pany, reversing its former decis-
ion and sustaining the decision
of Judge Dunn of the district
court. The case settles the
rights of timber owners to the
use of the waters of Idaho
streams for construction and op-
Grafton of booms and the use Of
the waters in driving logs.
The Cameron Lumber company
owns booms near the mouth of
the Coeur d'Alene river. They
were tied to both banks of the
river and the company owned
the land on each side to which
they were tied. The Stack
Gibbs company owned several
million feet of logs tributary to
the Occur d'Alene river, and the
only way to get them to its mill
was to drive them down the river
and through the works of the
Cameron company to their own
boom works at The rivers mouth.
but toll was demanded by the lat
ter company for this privilege,
and upon refusal of The Stack
Gibbs people to pay an injunction
was asked for. The contention
was that as the Cameron COM
pany owned the land on each side
of the river at this point they al

reelected representative as the
gentleman from Bingham coun-
ty, will probably WELD the gavel
I'm the house during the coming
session. There is many a slip
between the cup and the lip in
politics, however, and therefore
there is possibility, but not a
probability, that he may not be
elected. This is due to the rea-
son that there are two other out
and-out candidates for the speak
ership. They are Representa-
tive Conner of Bonner and Rep
resentative Koelsch Of Ada. Both
are old members of the house.
Representative Conner is the can
.didate from northern Idaho Rep
.resentaliyc Johnston is the south
fern and southeastern candidate
and Representative Koelsch is the
southwestern candidate. KoeI-
sch seems to be isolate in the
race, for he is but one of four
Republican members -elect from
Ada county and all the members
from surrounding counties are
Democrats. He is looked upon
as the compromise candidate if
the house is tied up over the
speakership. 1t is in this tieup
that the minority wing, the Dem
ocrats, see a ray of hope Of land
ing The speakership. They may
be able to take advantage of it
)y swinging enough independent
Republican candidates to their
side TO gain control. This is not
ikely, however. Johnson will
have, it is claimed, enough votes
to control the Republican eau
Gus. Conner will be second with
just a few votes behind. One or
the other of these two will prob
ably be speaker.
The house is more evenly di-
'ided in party representation than
the senate. The house has 80
Republican members, % Demo
cratic and one Progressive. The
senate has 10 Republican mem
bers II Democratic, two Progress
sive and one Socialist. The Re
Ipublicans therefore have control
cf both branches and will dom
mate legislation to a large ex-
tent.
In preparation for the coming
session the two houses of the leg
islature have been renovated ana

ave been repainted and the wood
work repainted. The carpets
have been cleaned and desks of
members polished. Committee
rooms have been put in order and
there is a general hustle and

the solons.
The senate will contain more
than half the number of mem

next Monday over the number
seated two years ago, it has been
necessary to tear away the par

of the senate chamber and in

The senate is therefore almost as

Fire Follows Explosion and Many Of
Victims Are Burned TO Death,
Rescuers Being Unable to Reach

Seattle, Wash.-As the result Of an
explosion OF coal dust in the North
western Improvement company's coal
mine at Rayendale, thirty-five miles
from here, on Tuesday, thirty-one
men were killed. The timbers in the
mine are still burning,
The bodies OF three men were re-
covered and three injured were
brought safely to the surface, where
they were resuscitRted by the use OF
pulmotors.
The body Of p. ]. Kane, foreman of
the third level, 1900 below the sur
face, where the explosion occurred,
was found seated in the chair before
his desk just within the entrance to
the third level. He had been burned
to death. The rescuers were unable
to remove his body because Of the in
tense neat in the level, which was on
fire.
Trained rescue men rushed to the
mine from Seattle and from Roslyn
and Gleelum we're able, by wearing
oxygen helmets, to penetrate far
enough into the mine to see the bodies
of the entombed men lying in the
mine, but could not get to them be-
cause OF the wreckage and the heat
From the time the explosion oc-
Cured until late at night, scores Of
women and children who had relatives
In the mine crowded silently around
the blackened shaft, awaiting word
from those laboring within to reach
the entombed men. Even after word
was passed around that all were CIV
en- up for lost, the women waited, hop
ing that the next trip of the cage
would bring up the bodies Of their
loved ones. a
The cause of the. explosion is I'M
known. The mine was well equipped
with safety appliances and was con-
sidered one of the safest in the state.

matter of speculation amonL the scientists of the
National museum. where the specimen Is on exhi
bition
Another interesting fact in this same connec
tion resulted from a scientific expedition which
DR.. O. Hart Merriam made among the mountains
of Arizona; he came across living species OF
bird identical with the one found mummiied
and which ia now known to the scientific world
by his name
Another recent discovery in connection with
the turkey was Maya hieroglyphic. This piece
Of parchment shows a grocers account in which
are mentioned, with other things, ten turkey hens
and five turkey cocks. This Is thought to be the
nrst record of the turkey In this country and
antedates the expedition Of Cortes to Mexico in
1919
But the turkey goes back farther among the
Indians than even the probable date at which
the specimen found in the cave existed Among
the zunis. for instance there exist many legends
handed down from time immemorial which have
for their subject the turkey.
The turkey plays a more important part in the
life OF the Indian than in his legends alone Not
only Is 1t regarded choice article of food,
but In many tribes 1t is held sacred In the parts
OF the country where the turkey was worshiped
with that curious devotion to animals which
characterizes different stages in the development
from savagery to civilization-it was never eaten
except when other food unobtainable. And
even then separate portions were divided among
various tribes. SO that the religious custom would

also used turkey feathers for ornamental ppr-
poses on their clothing. well as for their head
gear. To this day, when they don their native
costumes the turkey feather is preferred as orna-
ment.
If BENJAMIN Franklin's words had been needed
the turkey would have been the national bird Of
the United States. The eagle is first cousin TO
the species nown of old In the eastern hemis-
phere. Furthermore, It has appeared upon the
Roman empire. It known In China for ages
