REPEAL TIMBER
of Pas
AND STONE ACT
Congress will make quick Work
sing a Repeal Law.
SpcqfHlCormjfOiulcnr. to the Hep. tin
Washington, Dec. 20.—Without
a doubt the timber and stone act
will be repealed at this session of
Congress. A determined effort was
made last year to repeal this law,
and a bill to that effect passed the
Senate but it was defeated in the
House. ^ I he land frauds in Oregon |
and other western states seem to j
have convinced the me.. * > ers of
both houses of Congress that i. *he '
timber and stone act is repealed, j
the land frauds will be put an end'the
to. The timber and stone act is
believed by many to he a good law
and not the cause of frauds, and
this was urged against a repeal of
the measure hist year, but the
recent startling discovery of frauds
in several of the states has knock
cd the bottom out of this argument,
and it is only a question of a short
time until the law will be repealed,
Burton L. French has been pro
moted to the committees on Im-1
migration and Public Lands. These
committees are two of the most ;

were after these places, and it was
a great surprise to some of them
that French was Uncle Joe's choice.
A bill hrs been introduced in
Senate by Senator Heyburn
provitlinsj for the granting of
ISO additional sections of public
land ts the State of Idaho for
the purpose of aiding in the con
structiou of the Slate Capitol.
When Idaho was admitted she on
ly received 32,000 acres of land for
Statu capitol purposes, while Mon
tana received 132,000 acres, Wash
ington 1152,(KK) acres, Wyoming
107,000 acres, and Utah 64,000
acres for the same purpose. Idaho
is now constructing a capitol build

Oliven ofiici.ils
ularly as it related to Toy Wing,
who i-i an old offender, having been
deported three times, ami who has
,,1 _ _
From Mr. Andrews and Mr.
Hampton the following facts are
learned;
Toy Wing has been identified as
an escaped convict of the Idaho ,
penitentiary and has a record of
crime extending back 22 years. It
commenced in Boise in 1883, when
he assaulted and robbed an aged
Chinese couple in that city, for
which crime he was sentenced to
seven years in the penitentiary.
After serving a little less than a
year he escaped and successfully
eluded tin- officers. He is believed
to bo the same Chinaman who rob
j
i
bed an aped ( hinawomatj in Wyo
ming and served a term in the
Wyoming prison. He was next
heard of along the British Colum
bia-ldabo border where for years
he has been doing business in the
capacity of smuggling his country
men across the line into this coun-1
try. He has been captured and
deported three times, but this is
the first time the immigration of
fleers caught him "dead to rights",
and he is not likely to give any
more trouble for years to come.
For aiding and abetting bis coun
trymen to unlawfully enter this
country he is subject to a term in
prison and a heavy tine. But
should the federal grand jury turn
him loose, the Slate of Idaho would
probably require him to return and
j serve out his sentence, at the end
oi which time the federal author
ities would again step in and see
that ho was deported.
Connected with Toy Wing's cap
ture there is a little romance that
indicates that robbery and smugg
ling were not the worst of his
crimes. Found with him when he
was captured was a Chinese girl
whom he claimed as bis wife, mak
ing wife No. 2 living in this coun
I try, with a No. 3 back in China.
From information obtained by the
I officers it was very evident that he
i was aiming to reach one of tl»e big
coast cities where he could sell the
! girl into slavery, and where, it is
learned, she would command the

alone through Canada with him in
the disguise of a Japanese boy.

Heavy Holiday Shopping,
The merchants of t onm-rs Fern

A feature of the trade has been the
early buying. People coinmei ced

weeks ago, and a large part of the

stores closed for business on Sat

merchants sent in rush orders to
Spokane and brought in a second

the stores clos tonight, there will
not be much left for old Santa to
distribute. The local postotlic-o and
