CUT.OvER LAND OWNERS
TO RECEIVE INSTRUCTIONS
Practical Demonstrations Are to Be
Made Along the Line Of the
Great Northern in April.

With all kinds of equipment for
clearing cut-over land a .land-cleaF-
ing special" will go out of Spokane
on the Great Northern railway in
April to give practical demonstrations
of the most efficient and economical
methods of getting rid of stumps for
the benefit of the owners Of logged
off land in northern Idaho and east
ern Washington. The operation of
such train, stopping at the principal
points along this line to actually clear
off small tracts Of stump land, has
been made possible by cooperation
with the chamber of commerce, of
the Great Northern railway officials,
the Washington State college and the
University of Idaho.
The land-clearing special will stop
at the following points along the
Great Northern: Eureka, Mont, Apl
II; Libby, Mont, April 10; Boomers
Ferry, Idaho, April 81; Standpoint,
April %; Newport, Wash, April
IS; Elk, Wash, April 81; Deer Park,
April 20; Springdale, May 1; Che
weiah, May s; Addy, May 5, and
Colville, May Z.
At 1880 a. M, on the date amour
ced for each town the equipment will
be unloaded from the land-clearing
special and moved to the stump land
selected for the demonstrations. The
crew with each machine will be as
signed tract to clear and will put in
the full day getting out the stumps.
The powder crews will have place
of their own to work and will break
up some of the stumps for the ma
chimes to pull out.
The noon hour and evening will be
given to conferences with the own
ers of cut-over land and discussion of
the way to solve the problem of clear
ing land. The schedule allows one
day between demonstrations, to as
semble the equipment and move to
the next town.
Study Soil Also.
Representatives of the agricultural
colleges will give illustrated talks in
regard to working the soil in the cut
over districts, what crops will be
most satisfactory and the favorable
conditions for dairying and raising
live stock. Printed bulletins will be
distributed that deal with soils, crops
and land clearing problems.

Expect Wilson to Veto Again.

President Wilson has denied ap-
plication for a public hearing on the
immigration bill recently passed by
congress, and it is expected he will
veto the bill because of its literacy
test provision, which led him to veto
a similar measure previously. An
effort will be made to pass the bill
over his veto.

General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: With the end
of the holidays and annual settlements,
business has regained momentum,
though wholesome caution is every
where manifest. While the outlook is
obscure, both buyers and sellers rec
ognize that transition to more nat
ural range of commodity prices is in
evitable, and among interests whose
requirements are covered far ahead
there is disposition to defer pur
chases in anticipation of concessions.

ed to- be name detached from an
individual. No person of veracity
known to Colonel Webb had ever
seen Cheseldine. Strange to say Of
an outlaw leader, as there was no one
who could identify him, so there was
no one who could prove he had actu.
ally killed n man.
But in striking contrast to this
mystery was the person. character
and cold-blooded action Of Poggin and
Knell, the chiefs .lieutenants. They
were familiar figures In all the towns
within two hundred miles of Brad
ford. Knell had q record, but rs gun
man with an Incredible list of victims,
Poggin was supreme. If ,Poggln had
n friend no one. ever heard of him.
There were hundred stories Of his
nerve, his wonderful speed with gun,
his passion for gambling, his love Of
a horse-his cold, implacable, inhu-
man wiping out Of his path any man
! that crossed 1t.
"Cheseldine is name, n terrible
name" said Colonel Webb. "Some-
times I wonder If he's not only a
name. In that case where does the
brains of this gang come from? No;
there must be master craftsman
behind this border pillage; master
capable of handling those terrors,
Poggin and Knell. OF all the thou
sands of outlaws developed by west
ern Texas in the last twenty years
these three are the greatest. In
southern Texas, down between the
Pecos and the Nueces, there have been
and are still many bad men. But I
doubt if any outlaw there, possibly
excepting Buck Duane, ever equaled
Poggin. You've heard of this Duane?"
"Yes. little" replied Duane quiet
~. "Tm from southern Texas. Buck
Duane, then, is not known out here?"
"Why, man, where isn't his name
known" returned Colonel Webb.
1--WE kept track Of his record as I
have all the others. His fame in this
country appears to hang on his match
less gun-play and his enmity toward
outlaw chiefs"
HAS --Cheseldines gang been busy
lately?" asked Duane.
mo. Probably all the stock that's
being shipped now was rustled long
ago. Cheseldine works over q wide
section, too wide for news to travel
inside of weeks. There are some
people who think Cheseldine had
nothing to do with the bank-robberies
and train hold-ups during the last few
years in this country. But that's poor
reasoning. The Jobs have been too
well done, too surely, covered, to be
the work of greasers or ordinary out
laws"
whats your view of the outlook?
How's all this going to wind up?
Will the outlaw ever be driven out"
asked Duane.
"Never. There will always be out
laws along the Rio Grande. All the
armies in the world couldn't comb
the wild brakes of that fifteen hun
dred miles of river. But the sway
of the outlaw, such as is enjoyed by
these great leaders, will sooner or
later be past. There's talk Of Vigil
lantes, the same that were organized
in California and are now In force
In Idaho. So far it's only talk. But
the time will come. And the days OF
Cheseldine and Poggin are numbered"
