The Car Famine A nr famine is usual in the fall of the | ear when such heavy demands are tnaile pon railroad companies for moving the j a>ps of tlie country, but this year it is ; ssuming more alarming proportions j ban ever. Railroad managers from the fiddle West to the Pacific const are in a j ualidary. They cannot meet the dc- j nis of shippers for cars, yet do not, yant to order more Should they order bon now, it would be three or four «iths before they could he suptalied. t is the high prices, however, which pre nt these orders being placed more than nything else. Manufacturers in all lines a behind with their orders and they mply say to railroad companies or to nyone else, "we cannot take your liusi ' at all unless you pay us a price suffi ntly above the market to make it an ect." in this car famine matter there is an llratration that high prices do interfere »some extent with the volume of busi ess . It cannot lie gainsaid that busi «s is hotter in the country than it has vet been known before, but it would lie 'en larger iu volume now, were it not bat railroads refuse to buy cars enough > handle it. Another illustration of it seen locally. Large buildings which »ve been projected, and behind which ere is abundant capital to carry them comuleiion, will not lie commenced "til next year, the hope being that | "» of material will have declined by time.

A strike which promises to equal Hie Buffalo Hump camp was made a few weeks ago in the vicinity of Marshal Lake nliout twenty mi'es from the Burgilorf hot springs near tire Florence wagon road. Ike Maxwell and Sam Mediation made the discovery anil it is reported that James McGranc Jr., of this city, is interested with the locators. This discovery consists of free gold ore of very high grade. There is said to be an eight inch streak on one wall of a three-foot ledge that runs over f 1000 to the ton and that an average assay goes into the hundreds. The ore deposits nre said to lie quite extensive and the values nre exceptionally high throughout the new camp. The original locations were bonded last week through the agency or Jake Rice for f6o,ooo to Clark and Sweeney of Spokane. Mr. Rice will have the supervision of the new property. Work will be prosecuted all winter. It is the opinion of mining men that this new discovery will he one of the greatest mines in the northwest. The fact that it is a perfectly free milling proposition places it immediately in the rank of gold producers. They Prospect We'.l. F. L. Henshaw and L Hanagan have returned from a six months prospecting of it & it tripspcnt in t)le Elk City and Buffalo Hump milling districts. Mr. Henshaw states that they made three locations at Dead wood in the Elk district and two eight miles north of the Hump. On one of the claims nt Deadwooil they cross cut the ledge which is twenty-four feet wide but they have liecn unable to find the outer wall. The ore is low grade and runs (2 .65 in gold to the ton. On another they have sunk a shaft down 33 feet and have a well defined ledge 22 inches wide that assays as high as #300 in gold. Ill the Hump district they went down a few feet on one of their claims the ore shows some free gold and is from 12 to 60 per cent copper. These gentlemen state that the snow was two and a half feet deep at the Hump I when they left the camp and on the way ! out they met some fourteen 4 and 6 -horse ! in to the Hump via the Elk City route. ! "There is 1- doubt," said Mr. Ilen i shaw, "hilt vihat the Newsome creek ^ ,y str j ct w ))| experience quite a I100111 next season as much development work will be done in that camp." J Henshaw and Hanagan, after attend ing to some matters here, will probably ( go to the Imnaha for a few days after which they may return to their properties and prosecute development work on them. Grandma Ilibtis of McMinnville, Ore., j'''siting her sons R. B. and Newton teams heavily laden w ; th supplies going j Hihbs of this city. Sustained the Gambling: Law The Supreme Court of the State has uslnitie<i the lower tribunals in main taining tin anti-gambling law. This case was carried up from Idaho county. H. Mulkey of Grangeville was arrested as f spring charged with conducting a Kühling game unlawfully, tried and lined f2oo. The case was carried through the county and state courts till the high est court has confirmed the first decision. A Prominent Visitor. M. Koseukrans, who represented the New York capitalists who compose the Idaho Exploration and Copper company, returned Saturday from the Imnaha mining camp. The company which he represents has a bond on the Delta group in that camp. Mr. Rosenkrans is a young capitalist of the metropolis. He spent two weeks in the camp. He ex pressed perfect confidence in the future of the mines which his company are developing. He returned from the Imnaha iu a skiff, making the journey in ten hours. He will return in the spring and again inspect the property held by his company. An Expert at Imnaha. F,x]>ert Schroder of Denver, Colo., one of the most prominent men in scientific and practical mining circles in the United States, visited the Imnaha mines last week. This noted authority was sent to the camp by the Idaho Kxploration and Copper Company at an expense of $50 a 'lay and expenses, to examine the Delta group of mines, on which this company has a bond. Mr. Schroder spent three days in the camp and carefully examined the ore and studied the formation. Though his report was for tlie private consideration of the company, it is know'll through local officials that he passed favorably upon the proposition. He also outlined a system of development to be prosecuted during the winter, which will require very large exj»enditure of capital. This favorable report from high author ity practically determines the future of Lewiston's great tributary mining camp. Big Buffalo Sold. It is no longer disputed that the Big Buffalo mine has finally been sold. Clark & Sweeney some time ago secured op tions 011 the original Robins interests but tlieRiglcy interests, which have been held practically intact by the original locator, could not be secured by the firm which hail contended for it through so many complications. The grubstake in tcrest lias been contro.led by the friends of (Mark & Sweeney for some time, that a transfer puts an end to all litiga tion. The Rigley interests were finally se cured under bond for a slioit time by Col Wood of Warrens This deal howt it is btdieved, was a move in which Clark & Sweeney figured secretly. However it is assuring to the public to know that the great mine has been cleared of lega >bstruetious to its being made nil activ producer of wealth. It w ill be started up without delay. Even the snows of win ter will not prevent the rush of work on the big mine. Preparations are already under way to install a large force in the work of development. The Big Buffalo will be working within thirtj' days. Up River Traffic Extension. The steamer Norma, under the mauip illation of Captains IL C Baughman and McCulloch, made a successful tripup the Snake river last Sunday to Wild Goose island. This incident is significant, for the reason that it marks the extension ol Lewiston's commerce into the interior fur a distance of almost 100 miles. The only obstruction to the extension of trade from this city to Wallowa county, Ore gon, has liecn impassable canyons and diountains this side of Grande Ronde river. The Imat service has been spas modic *" fbc Rast. Wool and cattle ship ments have induced special excursions into this new field during high water in the past, but the element of uncertain service has debarred the consideration the question of navigation of the Snake of commercial value to this city or the dependent people of the interior. A regular boat service to the points reached last Sunday will bring the trade of an important section to Lewiston si Min as business men realize that they can depend upon this facility to the mu tual interests of the city and the tribu ary country districts. The ease with w hich this stout steamer stemmed the rapids was evidently a sur prise to all concerned. The stage water was almost to the lowest point and yet the Norma made the round trip in ten hours including many stops. The distance reached was 34 miles and the average current of the river is greater that distance than it is for fully 25 miles farther up the river. Wild Goo.* rapid is the worst obstruction to navigation within 50 miles and there are at least three ripples in the section of the rivi traveled which are worse than any otln obstruction within a distance of 20 milei a'iove Wild Goose island. The 1 k«U officers all concured in the opinion that they could have crossed Wild Goose rapid last Sunday if there had lieen a demand to do so. This fact practically determines the question the navigation of the Snake river to the Salmon river and Imnaha mining dis tncts and secures thus important trade to Lewiston in the future.

The men had been drinking heavily and the regulation hooze having run short they resorted to the use of wood alcohol which Mr. Sargent had in his paint shop such as is used for mixing color mid such ns is used for alcohol lamps. This drug is known to Ik- poisonous. Mr. Morphy who had liecn a railroad man for years died at 7:30 a. m. Monday and Mr. Sargent, a one armed painter, died at 5 p. 111. the smile day. Our Tin Mines. "Petrified Jim" Robinson was in Hie city to day, and he displayed fine sam ples of tin ore from the new mining field on Musselshell creek, 23 miles from the new town of Orofino. Mr. Robinson, who is an inveterate prospector, discovered this ore deposit. He was grubstaked by Dr. Woodruff of Asotin. The ore is in a to-foot lodge and it is traced for several hundred feet on the surface The work done consists only of three crosscuts. The assay values show 7 per cent tin in this large deoosit. The statements of the discovery leave no room to doubt the existence of a very rich tin mine in this camp., which is directly ributary to this city. Lewiston is des tined to lie the greatest mining center iu the Northwest. Rai road up Snake River. Engineer E. K. Cooper, arrived at the Imnaha copper camp last Friday with « force of fifteen men for the purpose of loi eating n railroail from that camp to Lew iston for the O. R & N. company. Mr, Cooper located the route from Elgin to Lewiston last winter, and the intention now is to connect the Imnaha survey with the one located last winter from Grand Ronde to this city. This party qf engineers was sent from Portland. They e met at Imnaha by Capt. J. R. Akins who went up tile river last week willi boats to lie used ill the work along the river. The importance of this new mining field is recognized by the railroad people This large party is outfitted for a winter's campaign. It is estimated that the work in hand will require three months iu its execution. A Thrilling Journey. The young millionaire M. Koscnkrniujs, E. E. Johncsse, Expert Schroder and Newton Ilihlm, made the journey fr«|m mnaha Saturday iu a skiff. The journey of 50 miles was made in ten In ufs, Photographic views were taken of majiy of the rapids and the rugged bluffs alotig the route. The strangers pronounced the scenery along the upper Snake to la jual to the grandest nalurnl views in the world. It is not generally known that aland 20 miles of this route is over smooth calm water that slee|is iu a deep stone ailed lad like a grand lake. The riiie is from 300 to taxi feet wide and of tin fathomed depth. There are miles of <)is tiinec which reveal no perceptible cur rent. But la-low each great pool there is a mad rapid that tosses the frail cnjfts which venture to tun it like a straw ill whirlwind. The Snake river canyon will some day la- one of America's scenic routes eif travel. In Honor ol Senator Shoup. Senator Slioup, accompanied by Joseph Perrault, arrived in tliis city Monday afternoon. The Senator was on a f official visit, and this fact freed the oc rasion of any political significance, banquet was given in honor of the dis tinguished visitor at the Hotel De Frajice by the citizens of Lewiston and vicinity The ceremonies were inaugurated by prayer offered by Rev. J. D. McCotiVev Judge P. K. Stookey was chosen t<Mist master and toasts were offered ami responded to by prominent citizen» in order as follows: "Our Senator," by Jtidue R.S. Anderson; "Our Past," by Hon. B. F. Morris; "Our Future," by Miles S. Johnson; "The Philippine War, by Gen. R. K. McFarland; "The Lewis Ion Normal," by President Geprge Knepper; "Our Pioneers," by Judge J W. Poe; "Idaho and Statehood," by Kniest McCullough; 'National Leg|isla tion," by E. C. Steele; ami "The Needs of the State," by J. E. Babb. These subjects constituted a most at tractive evening's program. The sjK-ak ers appeared iu their happiest mood« and they entertained the audience splendid manner from U'ginning to clos«* Senator Slump closed the speech fnal ing in a twenty minute speech wjliic was very timely. He touched tq>on various political interests and especially upon the question of free homes which the most vital local political issue at this time He touched uooti the qu stion of an open river. In referring io the home stead question he said in part: That the the free home bill bad jiassed the Senate twice. That his vote was recorded each tint«* in its favor. That it was an entirely different matter passing a bill through tlie Senate and passing it through Congress That blalio has two votes the Senate and that New York ha« the same but that in the lower branch New York has as many votes as all the west ern states combined. That be had always done all that he could in both branches to secure favorable action but that the bill would have to l»c introduced «gai and as the congress was a new ojie h couldn't sav how the new mendiera I stand on the question. It is inferred that t>m Senator i" hor^Yd. MU ......IN...... Sheet Music Are the rages : "I Lov«t You Once, I Scorn You Now." Song. "Hello, Ma tlatiy." Song. "The Moth ami the Flame. 1 Song.
