MOSCOW MISSES MINING STATION
Congress Provides for Ten Stations in
All, One of Which Must Come to
the Occur d 'Alene.

Seattle gets the federal mining sta
ton so much desired by. Moscow In
formation went out from Washington, ID.
c., on Wednesday to the effect that
Franklin X. Lane, secretary of the in
terror, had brushed aside the claims of
Moscow and the Occur 'Alenes and had
located the station at Seattle.
Seattle was chosen in the first place
when the other two stations were es-
tablished at Fairbanks, Alaska, and
Tucson, Arizona But because of the
vigorous protests that went to Wash
ington from the mining sections of
Idaho, Montana, Washington and
Oregon the matter was reopened and
" an H. Manning, director of the bureau
of mines, was sent out to look the field
over and determine which point would
best accommodate the mining interests
of the northwest. g~st &ar~"r
Moscow put up game. fight for the
establishment of the station here in
connection with the school of mines for
the University of idaho. 1t was thought
that because of the great advantages at
the university and because of its
proximity to the great Occur d'Alene
mining district it would be chosen over
Seattle that is far remote from mining
of all kinds except little coal. #"&
1t is understood that still other
stations of a similar character, up to the
number of 10, are provided for by the
act of congress and will be established
as funds are made available. No doubt
Moscow will fare better in the next
deal.-Moscow Post.

ACCIDENTALLY sHoT-LosT LIFE
Henry Ruff Mistaken by Friend for
Deer and Fatally Shot.

A sad accident occurred in the Clear
water Meadows section last Wednesday
afternoon when through mistaken his
friend for deer, Prince Johnson shot
his friend, Henry Ruff who died from
the effects of the wound in "a hours
after. johnson and his father, who is
here from Missouri on visit, were in
vited by the Ruff boys, who live on tho
Whitman ranch, to come into the noun
tains and enjoy several days hunting
and with this view in mind, Prince and
his father arrived at the Ruff ranch
early last week. Wednesday the party
took up hunting in the Clearwater
Meadows and separated during the af-
ternocn.
Along about three Ruff killed his deer
and was dragging the same to camp.
Johnson, who was about 100 yards from
null and not aware his friends was
dragging deer along the hillside be-
low him, heard the cracking of the
brush and saw the moving body of the
deer. johnson waited for its reap
pearance and as Ruff emerged with the
deer on his back Johnson caught sight
of it and fired. Johnson s father who
was not far from Ruff at the time of
the tragedy, at once shouted what had
occurred and in a few minutes Prince
was on the scene, horror stricken to
know he had shot his friend.
The young man was made as comfor-
table as possible and DR.. Slusser sum-
moned, making the trip in record break
ing time. When he arrived he found
the young man so weak that he decided
an operation at the time was out of the
question. The ball had entered the
body through the hip and ranged up
ward penetrating the stomach and in
testines. There was no hope and all
that was possible for human hands to
do was done but he passed away Thurs
day.
The body was brought out by Under
taker Maugg and funeral services by
Rev. Wood were conducted at the
Maugg chapel Tuesday afternoon, it be
ing necessary to await the arrival of
two sisters of the deceased who live in
Western Washington.
Young Ruff came here several years
ago, working at various places last sum
mer being employed by Prince Johnson
and becoming very close friend of the
latter. He was an exemplary young man
always cheerful and Industrious ant
had made many friends who mingle
their tears with those of the brother
