just beginning to creep over the

on going out the other morning
that a big cougar had followed
him for several miles on his way
to town the night before, only
drawing off when they reached

Phil Sherer came out from the
Shisler- Pettibone ranch this week
and reported that Bert Archer,
who had been staying with Mar
tin Moe, left the Moe cabin on
skis January 13. On the 25th,
Archer's dog returned to the Moe
cabin. A search was made and
the mans tracks followed until
the drifted snow covered them
until they could not be followed.
The disappearance has been re-
ported to the sheriff's Office. An
other search will be made as
soon as the snow settles SO that
the ski tracks will show up. 1t

Mrs. Puthoff Laid to Rest

The remains of the late Mrs.
Frank Puthoff were brought to
this city Saturday evening from
Spokane and were inferred in
the local Catholic cemetery Mon
day morning, the funeral being
held from the Catholic church
and was quite largely attended.
Mary Magdalena Schmitt was
born at Mount CARMEL, Iowa,
October 18th, 1875, and died at
the Sacred Heart hospital in
Spokane, Wash, March 23d,
1916. She moved with her par
ents to Salem, S. D., in 1882, and
on May 2, 1899, was married at
that place to Frank B. Puthoff.
In October, 1901, they moved to
Nezperce,. Idaho, where they re-
sided for seven years, then NOV
ing to their farm north of this
place where they resided con-
tinuously since that time. To
this union was born seven child
rem, three girls and four boys,
the eldest Of whom is fifteen and
the youngest four years of age
and all of whom are still living.
The deceased was a devoted
wife and mother, a thorough
christian and a neighbor who
was held in the highest esteem
by her many acqusintances. Be-
sides her husband and children
she leaves three brothers, John
B. and Mathew Schmitt, of Leip-
zig, Sask., Canada, and Joseph
Schmitt, of Nezperce, Idaho.
The remains of the deceased
lay in state at the Knop home in
this city until the time of the
funeral and were viewed by
many friends who desired to pay
respect to the deceased. The
funeral was one of the largest
held here for many months, thus
silently attesting to the univer-
sal esteem in which the deceased
was held.
The Chronicle joins with the
many friends of the deceased in
extending deep sympathy to the
heart broken husband and family
in their b reavemeat.

Spokane, March 23.-"We are

district" said President A. J.
Earling of the Chicago, Milwau,

The above announcement shows
the intention of the Milwaukee
road to serve the white pine belt
of the Clearwater district. Elk
River is located on the stream of
the same name about IL miles
from the North Fork at Dent.
The construction of 25 or 80 miles
from Elk River would extend the
Milwaukee to a point on the
North Fork about Big Island or
the mouth of Roads creek. To
reach the Weippe plateau or any
district suitable for milling opera
tions would require more than
double the construction suggested
by the Milwaukee president,
which would leave the infer
ence that the road is to be con-
structed into the white pine dis
trict to haul the logs to Elk River
and Potlatch to be manufactured.
For the past two years there
has been much talk of the Mil
waukee being extended from Elk
River to the white pine district
of the Clearwater basin and it
has also been stated that when
this line is CONSTRUCTED it would be
to haul the logs out of the Clear
water valley to be manufactured.
Persons interested in the Clear
water timber and the benefits the
entire valley should receive from
the development of the lumber
industry, have realized that some
action should be taken to en-
courage the Northern Pacific to
build from it's Clearwater line in
to the districts where lumber
activity is promised.
The Scofeld interests have
been preparing at Weippe for the
past year to begin milling opera
tions on an extensive scale
Large quantities of logs are cut,
the mill site is cleared and the
lake for storage purposes has
been created by dam construc-
ton. The company has been ne
qotiating for the past year for
Northern Pacific branch up Fords
creek.
Timber men have held the
view that the Northern Pacific
would not allow the Milwaukee
to enter the Clearwater timber
d strict without taking the neces
sary action to protect its interests
and this would mean thu
Northern Pacific will not longe
hesitate in the matter of provid
ing transportation for the dis
tricts where interests are il
readiness to provide a lumbe
tonnage. Tribune.
