Construction Notes.
Hastings & Degin, having the
first five miles of construction work
south of the International line, have
completed their contract and the ;
grade is ready for the steel. Brock
enridge & Lund have been assisting j
them in their contract.
M. Tobin, having a 31 mile con
tract near the haH way house com-1
pleted his contract a few weeks j
ago and pulled out for other work, j
Brec,enridge & Lund, who built |
the O. P. R. end of the line, and
who have boon working on Hast
ings & Degin's contract, arc mov
ing their outfit to Laclede, near
where they have taken a new con
tract. Half their outfit passed
through Thursday, the oilier half
being expected along the first of
next week.
John Hath, who had a small con
tract, has bis work completed.
Twoby Bros., who had a 6 mile
contract near Bonners Ferry, in
eluding two tunnels aggregating
nearly 1000 feet, have completed
their tunnel work and steam shovel
work, and arc winding up the con
tract.
May & McArthur, having a 4
mile contract above the Movie
bridge, have completed their work,
McDaniels, having the first con
tract cast of the Ferry, will have
60 days work yet. He basa heavy

There will bo a vast amount of
work to do after thc rails are laid.
The finishing touches will ho put
on by means of steam shovels and
work trains.
All the above work is located be
tween Bonners Ferry and the In
ternational line. South of Bonners
Ferry, as far as Saudpoint, con
struction is well under way, there
being litle or no heavy work, and
it is probable that that part of the
road will be ready for the rails by
the time trains get across the Koo
tenai River.
Bteunenberg'a Assassin.
The trial of Harry Orchard for
the assassination of Ex-imvernor
Steuncnberg has been postponed
until the April term of the district
court at Caldwell. Orchard is now
in the penile- tiary at Boise for
safe keeping. I here have been no
new developments in the case for
some weeks—at least none made
public, although a force of the most
skillful detectives in the country
are working on the case. It is now
thought that Orchard hail two ac
complices who were in Caldwell at
the time of the murder. Effo:l*
are being made to apprehend these
men.
Some legal questions raised by
the defense will be disposed of at
the present term of court.

Telephone Line.
The Corbin people are construct
ing a telephone line from the
Boundary to Sandpoint, where they
will connect with a system. The
lino reached Bonners Ferry yester
day and will be in Sandpoint in
two weeks. The construction is
temporary, to rush it through, and
will be rebuilt later. It is a com
pany lino but arrangements will be
made w hereby the public can be
accommodated. 1). I'. Hanifen is
in charge of the construction.
Candidate for District Judge.
Hon. R. N. Dunn, Register of the
United States Land Office at Coeur
d'Alene, will bo a candidate for
District Judge to succeed Hon. R.
T. Morgan, the present incumbent.
Mr. Dunn resided at Wallace, Ida
ho, until his appoi tine t as Reg
ister. lie served as County At
torney of Shoshone county, and is
a lawyer of ability, with a clean
record as a public official, and is a
lnan who enjovMhe highest respect
of hia wiue drd# o{ acquaintanceB(
bolii in Kootenai and Shosho e
counties.
Campaign is on.
The calling of the Republican
state central committee together
serves as a reminder that the cam
From this time
paign is again on.
until next November, men anxious
to win political honors, or lucrative
offices, will be very active.
In Kootenai county two hostile
factions have been arrayed against
each other and feeling has been
very bitter. This condition is
charged to be due to Chairman
Charles L. Heilman's autocratic
sway. But now that Mr. Heilman
has announced that he will neither
seek nor accept the chairmanship
for another term, it ought to follow
as a natural consequence that fac
tional lines should be wiped out.
This is good logic, but logic and
politics do not always jibe, and we
doubt if the original discoverer of
the alleged cause of the trouble be
tween the two factions will bank
to any great extent on this logical
consequence.
However, it is nonsense to as
sume that all intelligence or polit
ical virtue is hound up in any one
faction.
There are good men and
men not so good in both factious.
To Repeal Land Laws.
I ho senate committee on public
lands will shortly report a bill for
t (io repeal of the timber and stone
laws, and substitute therefore a
law authorizing the secretary of the
interior to sell to the highest bid
der at public outcry or otherwise,
under such rules and regulations
and subject to such conditions and
restrictions and in such quantities
las he may prescribe, the right to
; cut and remove, withi such time
as be may prescribe, any timber
from any unappropriated nontnin
jeral surveyed public lands, chiefly
valuable for timber, after first hav
j ing had such timber duly apprais
! cd and after giving public notice
of the time, terms, manner aid
place of such sale,
The bill will give the secretary j
power to reject all bids,
Thu bill will repeal the act of
icongress approved June 3, 1878,
and all amendatory acts thereto,
providing for the sale of timber
lands in thc state of California,
Oregon, Nevada, Washington, Ida
ho, Montana, Wyoming and other
western states and prohibiting the
patenting in the future of any lands
valuable chiefly for timber under
the commutation provisions of the
homestead laws.
All the funds derived from the
sale of the timber and stone in the ;
public land states are to he supplied

School Notes.
A set of "Masterpieces of Elo
quence", twenty-live valûmes, was
recently added to the school library.
The botany class are studying
seeds and seed germination and by'
the aid of the microscope have been
able to secure some very good
drawings of seed structure.
The unfinished room in the school
building has been provided with a
hand-ball court, a set of exercise
rings and a trapeze bar as a start
toward a gymnasium; Indian clubs
have also been ordered.
One hundred sixty-two attend
ance certificates of pupils, who have
been neither absent nor tardy for
three months, were forwarded last
week to the county superintendent.
It is hoped the parents will assist
the teacher in making the absent
and tardy marks as few as possible.
The total enrollment for the year
to date is 154. The fifth grade has
been advanced to the grammar
room.
Last Friday the literary society
enjoyed a debate by the grammar
room on the question: "Resolved
that the telephone is more useful
than the telegraph." Leaders a thin
ative. Jack VanGasken and Ella
Dolan; negative, Tom Martin and
Ada Wood. The decision, by vote,
was in favor of the negative.
