Railroads Battle Trucks.

SPOKANE.--Producing points Of the
Inland Empire this week became the
battle-ground for struggle between
railroads and truck carriers over
freight operations. Spokane officials of
three principal rail lines put into eff
feet pick-up-and- deliver rates for all
Idaho shipments on interstate traffic.
Similar rates governing shipments
from this city to interstate towns were
put into effect by the Spokane Off
GERS on August 4, permitting local
agents to pick up freight shipments in
Spokane and deliver them to the place
of business of the consignee at the same
charge for the service as demanded
by the trucking companies.
In their fight to recover business lost
to motor agencies railroad officials
point that the new regulations now
cover travel between Spokane and the
Idaho points Of Boomers Ferry, Sand
point, Priest River, Moscow, Lewis
ton. Wallace, Kellogg Mullan and in
termediate towns and that the interstate
regulations cover all points in Wash
ington.
The Great Northern's electric line in
Washington, serving seven points for
the first three weeks showed a gain
Of 100000 pounds over the correspond
ing period of the year before, according
to ]. S Book, general agent of the
Great Northern. He declares, General
jobbers, wholesalers and chain-sture
organizations are throwing their sup
port to the railroads Member firms of
the Spokane Merchants association, as
group, are routing their merchandise
shipments over rail lines, and this has
added to the favorable outlook
Thomas Dowd, district freight and
passenger agent for the Union Pacific,
reports an increase of 81 per cent in
business from IA Inland Empire points
operating under the new schedule,
while r. A. Murphy Of the Northern
Pacific, asserts that his line is doing
50 per cent more business

Nomad Mexican Indians
Flee CANCEL of Death"

A dead person terriieS the nolnad
Huichole Indians who live in the state
of Nayarit, Mexico, more than whole
pack of the most ferocious animals
that inhabit their lana.
For centuries the Huicholes have
lived undisturbel in the Wild interior
Of Nayarit, constantly moving about
in search of escape from death. When
one of their number dies they aban-
don their crops ana flee TO some other
place. thinking thus 70 eyade repe.
tition of the event.
Although these primitive nomads
worship u few Christian saints, they
look 10 the sun as their god and pray
to ii.
When Iluichole brave has proved
himself capable Of filling parcel of
land he is permitted to we'd. He may
have as many wives as he can sup
port, the average number being four.
The husband goes out of his way
TO respect and treat all his wives
well. At meal time his wives sit In
a circle around him. offering tortil-
las and chile they have prepared. To
avoid hurting the feelings OF any one
the brave eats an equal amount OF
the food offered by each.
When brave wishes to dispose Of
one Of his wives he talks to her
kindly. After finding another brave
who is willing to add to his house
hold, the husband offers her in trade,
usually accepting horse, an OK, or a
burro, according to her value.
The Huicholes live in caves and are
happy people, aside from their fear
OF death.--Grit.

DID NOT FIND PLACER
GOLD ON MISSOURI RIVER

BUTTE, Sept THAT gold of suffi-
Gent size or quantity for commercial
exploitation was not discovered on the
recent prospecting trip down the Mis-
souri, sponsored by the State Bureau
of Mines and Geology is the report
of Professor Oscar A., Dingman, in
charge of the party
Professor Dingman, accompanied by
Jesse Cobb, pioneer prospector, and
three Box Elder young men, recently
completed a two-weeks flatboat ex-
petition down the river, panning the
bars for gold
The samples collected on the trip
have been assayed and subjected to
microscopic tests by experts of the
State Bureau of Mines and Geology.
The laboratory investigation proves
that the gold particles are so finely di-
vided and so small in quantity as TO
make ii doubtful whether a prospector
could earn even meagher daily wages
by panning the gravel of the river
bars, Professor Dingnran states.
"The results so far obtained do not
appear to justify the Bureau of Mines
and Geology in recommending the
working Of the bars in that portion of
the main river covered by the investi-
CATION" is the statement of DR.. Francis
A. Thomson, director of the bureau.
A memoir on the trip is being pre-
pared and will give the results of the
expedition in detail However, Profess
sor Dingman has prepared brief pre-
liminary report, which follows:
"The Missouri river gold exploration
trip was undertaken with the express
idea of ascertaining whether or not
placer gold was present in sufficient
quantities to permit working the sand
and gravel beds of the river at profit
Isolated cases were reported where
prospectors some Is or IS years ago,
had made wages panning or rocking
for gold. It was thought that places
might still be found where persons, with
a minimum outlay of SIS to $50 for
equipment, could make from s. to pos
sibly 81 a day, and thus alleviate some
Of the unemployment or actual distress
which prevails in some of the farming
communities adjacent to the Missouri
Stamping or testing was begun at
Fort Benton and. continued to the
Judith ferry across the Missouri about
three quarters of mile below the
junction of the Judith and Missouri
rivers. A total distance Of approximate
~ 100 miles was covered
"Shankin creek, Marias river, Eagle
creek, Arrow creek and the Judith
river, streams flowing into the Missouri
were all examined for distances OF
one-fourth to one-half mile upstream
from their junction with the Missouri.
All work was carefully performed.
"The microscopic and analytical
work on the black sand concentrates
taken on the trip have progressed far
enough to show that, although ''colors'
may be found in most placers over
the distance covered by the survey
on the Missouri river and inflowing
streams, gold Of sufficient size or guam
tity for commercial exploitation was
not found

 This structure was built in the ,arly days but was abandoned Ior court purposes when the pre- sent court house was completed in 1903. In October 1913, the the building was turned over to the Secretary of the Interior and has been used for a native school. The Indian Bureau is putting up a new structure and the old court house has been
 vacated and abandoned. The Delegate has sought to have the property turned over to the City of Nome. Both the Interior and Department of Justice are perfectly willing that this should be done, but the hitch is Wheth- ar it can be delivered without an act of Congress. Assistant Attorney General Sisson inclines to the opinion that it would be advisable for Nome to build thej street thru this tract without first securing title to the IandI in a legal way, lest complica- tions might result later.
