RUSHING WORK
0. R AI. and Northern Pacific Fight
ing for Territory.
BOTH REFUSE TO MAKE STATEMENT
At the Same Time are Increas
ing Force and Supplies.
Since our last issue the prospect
for railroad construction on Camas
Prairie has materially brightened
but as far as positive knowledge of
the future actions of the companies
is concerned the people are as
much in the dark as ever. Both
the O.R. &N. and Northern Pacific
companies have surveying parties
in the field between here and Lew
iston and both of them absolutely
refuse to make any statement as to
what they are going to do or where
they are going. At the same time
they are both bringing in more
wagons and supplies and construct
ing camps that give every indica
tion of extensive work.
Since last week the Northern
Pacific has sent two surveying
Mirties into the field and it is be
ieved both will be under the dir
ection of Engineer Pollard who
was with the first party to arrive
Yesterday's Tribune reported them
camped on the old O. R. & N. sur
vey at Rock Corral on Lawyers
canyon and a permenant camp is
apparently being established. This
crossing is said to be the most ad
vantageous point on the old sur
vey and it is more than probable
that both companies are desirous
of holding it.
In the meantime Engineer Klip
pel of the O. R. & N. has divided
his party and is working a part of
his force in Little canyon and
others this side of Mohler. Both
parties are receiving large consign
ments of supplies and every thing
indicates that they will be in the
field all Bummer.
A telegram from Lewiston yes
terday stated that it was positive
ly known that a right-of-way man
for the Northern Pacific had left
there and was between that point
and Orangeville. The absolute
secrecy of both companies makes
it impossible to get definite infor
mation but one thing is certain
both these big railroad companies
are showing a decided interest in
this section and that fact alone
looks good to the people of Camas
Prairie.

Y. M. C. A. Meeting,
There will be a meeting of the
hoard of trustees of the Y. M. C. A
at their hall on next Friday even
ing Mar. 24 at which all citizens
who are interested in this organi
sation are urged to be preeent.
The object, of the meeting is to de
cide as to what shall be done with
property of the organization and
whether or not it shall continue.
Sinoe Dr. Green moved from the
building it has been practically
vacant and the library, baths, and
gymnasum have been closed. They
are a few outstanding obligations
that have to be met and this will
also be considered at the meeting.
There has been several chances to
rent the building but if this is done
the association will have to be
abandoned and all the work done
here-to-fore will practically be loet.
It is the desire of the hoard that
these and kindred matters be
thoroughly discussed and it rests
with the people as to what shall be
done.
Much Farming Done.
Farmers from neaily every sec
tion of the Praire report a very
large amount of seeding done for
this season of the year. It is esti
mated that fully two thirds of the
entire crop baa been planted aud
the remainder soon will be.
Grain sown at this season is
nearly as good as that sown in the
fall and with even an ordinary
year a heavy crop may he expect
ed. The recent warm rains have
supplied plenty of moistnre and
grain and [gross are both growing
rapidly.
No More Politlos.
The strenuous political life has
lost its attraction for Representa
tive W. D. Timm,
made an excellent recerd during
the recent session of the legislature
and is content to rest upon his
laurels. He baa entered into a
contract with the Palo Alto stock
farm of Emmetteburg. Iowa, and
will hereafter attend to the com
pany's interests in Idaho. Norm
Thompson one of the officials of
the company, engaged the services
of Mr. Timm and the letter will be
gin work today.

Mr. Leonard Mitchell whose
picture we publish above, has
proven to the theater loving people
of our city that he is a most capa
ble actor and instructor of the dra
matic art, and it is with pleasure
we announce the forth coming
gorgeous production of W. 8. Gil
bert's famouB Greek mythological
comedy, "The Sculptor'' Mar. 31
under the direction of this sterling
artist. The scenery will be entirely
new and the electricians will be
employed several days, installing
new colored lights and wires for
the many beautiful scenes that
make up the heart interest and
comedy of this masterpiece.
Mr. Mitchell will be surrounded
by the best cast of players ever
placed upon tlie local Btage, beaded
ay the delightful artist MisH Nona
Jean Nickel whose recent perfor
mance of high class roles, has
placed her higher in the estima
tion of our people than any artist
who has visited our city.
The principal comedy will be in
the hands of an old professional
and comedian of the first rank,
Mr. J. W. Irwin whose very pres
ence will create screams of laughter.
Between the acts Miss Nickel and
Mr .Mitchell will introduce double
specialties of the first order, thus
making the performance continuous
and taking the evening as a whole
the entire audience will go home
saying they have witnessed the
grandest performance ever given in
the northwest. The play will be
taken to Cottonwood, Lewiston and
Nez Perce following the presenta
tion here.

Principal Contest Will Be for Office of
Mayor.
TICKETS COMPLETED MONDAY NIGHT
Elections Hereafter Will Be
Held Bl-Annually.
A mass meeting was held as the
court house lust Thursday night at
w h ich time the candidates for coun
cil men of the several wards were
ratified and candidates for the
several city offices were put in the
field. There was not a very large
attendance and for several of the
officers there was no opposition.
The ticket named was, Mayor,
W. H. Casady; clerk, JameB De
Haven; police judge, Lycurgus
Vinyard; city engiueer; W. C. Mc
Nutt; councilmau first ward, Fen
Batty; second ward, B. C. Wilts«;
third ward, J. B. Adams.
After the convention was held
it was learned that Gov. Gooding
has approved the bill passed by the
legislature providing for bi-enuial
electors for city and requiring two
councilmen to be elected from
each ward this year. This requir
ed the holding of another ward
meeting which was done Monday
night and the following additional
councilmen were nominated: First
ward, Joseph Pfeufer; second ward,
A. F. Parker: third ward, J. W.
Hockersmith.
A petition was also circulated
and liberally signed urging Geo.
M. Robertson to allow bis name to
be placed on the ticket for the of
fice of Mayor and to this he finally
consented so there will he two can
didates for that office. H. H. Hot
chkiss will also appear by petition
on the official ballot as a candidate
for police judge. As to any issues
iu the coming election there
really are none although a few
would like to inject the old water
fight into the campaign. How
ever it is hoped that this may be
avoided os the question has been
fought out ouce from the street
corner to the supreme court and
proved a very expensive experience
for the city. Without any particu
lar issue the contest should be a
iriendly one and no bad result
should follow whoever is elected.
Witnesses Get Pay.
County Attorney T. H. Bartlett
is in receipt of a letter from At
torney General Guheen enclosing a
copy of a bill passed by the last
legislature providing for the pay
ment of witness fees and mileage
in preliminary examinations and
at corner's inquests. The act be
come operative on March 9th and
hereafter witnesses will receive 25
cents per mile one way for each
mile traveled and $2 per day for
their time.
While the law seems just it will
greatly increase the costs of our
courts and add much to the ex
pense of administering justice.
Many of the mountain and outlying
precincts have no precinct officers
and when an offense is committed,
the party charged with the crime,
along with all the witnesses are
brought to Orangeville for the pre
liminary. Under the present law
this will make the cost almost as
much as the trial in the district
court and even when the prisoner
is discharged .the county mast
bear the expense of the prosecu
tion.

After Dog Poisoner
Quite a number of our best citi
zens have bonded themselves to
gether in an effort to apprehend
and secure the conviction of the
party who has been scattering
poison around town to kill dogs.
A number of pet animals have
been killed in this way, some right
in the home yard, and our best
people are determined that it shall
be stopped.
A purse of 1400 has been sub
scribed and is offered for the ar
rest and conviction of the dog
poisoner. This may have a ten
dency to put a stop to the villanous
work, but if the culprit is ever
caught he had better ask for a
change of venae at once.
