THE MILWAUKEE, TO LEWISTON
Contemplated Route Down Pine Creek
Inspection is Made.

The plans of the Milwaukee road, the
Clearwater Timber company and SEQ
field interests for developing the Clear
water timber belt have been recently
reviewed by the Tribune. 1t now devel-
ops according to late report that the
railroad company is planning to handle
the timber product into the southwest
lumber market by an extension to Lew
iston to connect with the O.-W. r. 4 n.
system.
The plans for the timber ext snsion
from Elk River to the Scofield timber
near Weippe and the Pierce City dis
trict have been definitely stated, and
the purpose to construct the Lewiston
extension will cross low divide to
reach the Southwick plateau and will
then serve the Leland section and reach
the Clearwater river a short distance
above Arrow junction at Pine creek.
Included in the party that visited
Southwiek was one of the engineers who
made he survey through the Potlach
country and down Pine creek to the
Clearwater river. 1t is stated the Mil
waukee secured the easiest grade that
has been located from the Palouse pla-
teau to either the Snake or Clearwater
valleys. The proposed extension would
serve productive country for the en-
tire distance and provide a direct route
for the product of the potiach and Elk
River mills to the lumber markets of
the southwest states.
The report coming from Southwick,
however, suggests the removal of the
Elk River mill with the completion of
the Lewiston extension, and that much
of the Clearwater timber will be
brought to favorable point on the
Clearwater for milling. Since the Elk
River mill was installed, there have
been reports that the location is unfav-
orable for milling because of the damp
climate which results in discoloraticn
of the lumber before it is seasoned. The
first reports emanated from employees of
the Potlach Lumber company, but the
company has never indicated an inten-
ton of changing it's milling location or
reducing the output of the Elk River
mills.
1t is explained the survey of the
route through the Potlach country was
made several years ago and the trip of
the party recently was for the purpose
of looking over the route and allowing
the officials to view the country
through which it is proposed to CON
struct an extension. 1t is stated
the work on the Lewiston extension
would shortly follow the Inauguration
of construction on the line into the tim
Der district.-Tribune.

COYOTE PELTS ARE RAISING.
Coyotes a Nuisance, But Also Valu-
able Fur Bearer

There are great many who are un-
der the impression that coyotes are a
nuisance and are no good whatever,
says Mr.. A. B. Shubert, president of
A. b. Shubert, Inc, Chicago, u S. A.
the largest house in the world dealing
exclusively in American raw furs. This
is wrong impression. Coyotes are a
very destructive animal, killing cattle
and sheep, but the coyote is fur bearer
and its pelt has a commercial value-it
is more valuable this year than ever be-
fore.
The coyote is the only fur-bearer that
can be used in imitation of fox. The
animal scarf made from a fox skin, was
in great favor last year and it is even
more popular this year and the price is
very high. An imitation had to be
created, which could be sold to the con
sumner who could not afford to pay the
price of a fox scarf. For that purpose
the American manufacturer is using the
better grades of coyotes, with heads at
tached, which when dressed and dyed
and made into an animal scarf can
hardly be distinguished from a fox
except by an expert. The soft greyish
hair of the lighter colored skins of the
better grades is very pretty and when
used natural makes an attractive set of
furs.
The poorer grades of coyote are be-
ing used by the Europeans for coat lin
ings for the man behind the gun and in
the trench. The skin is large and re-
quires but little work, so it answers
the purpose.
Get after the coyote-they are in
good demand and prices extremely high
you will be doing your community a
great service and at the same time max
ing high wages.

lakes is their shore flooded condi
tions through unreasonable uplifted
outlet dams, or the opposite condi-
tions which leaves all the shore
waste and high water killed vegetg-
ton and dead tree foliage exposed.
And there is not a lake or pond in
the midst of our civilization whose
shores, or under water bottoms as
far as the eye can look down, are
not tangled with water soaked logs,
treetops and brush as sad reminders
of the woodman's axe. One of the
most pleasing sights we witnessed
n-the 81 out of 81 lakes we passed
through in our canoe trip to Hud-
sons Bay, was the natural beauty of
untouched shores, and the lake bot
toms clean as polished floors. If
there was sand beach, caused by
the natural lowness of the water, it
was white and clean even into and
far under the waters edge. If the
water reached to full banks the foil
age over-Iapped, or stood out thick
and full, and green and with an ev-
eness resembling a well-kept hedge.
And that hedge-like shore line,
where lodges did not intel vene, was
as perfect as if laid out by a car
penter's rule. Such lakes have an
attractiveness that must be seen to
be enjoyed. And our lakes, even in
the midst of civilization, though i'm
possible to retrieve all of their pris-
tine beauty, could be improved up
on to a great extent. Old rubbish
could be cleaned out-for it will
never lot-and new rubbish and
sawGust not allowed to be thrown
in. Forbid by law the high dam and
outlet gate system that exceeds the
line dam Nature ordained. Teach
foliage and trees to again adorn the
shores instead of trimming and
burning them to the waters edge.
We should keep a little of the origi-
nal scenic beauty of the world with
US, even though we do advance, and
it could not be done easier than
along our beautiful rivers and lakes.
