A NEW BRICK DEPOT
Sand point, Idaho, Aug. 17.—The j
Northern Pacific is figuring on j
building a brick depot here to replace
the wooden structure now being used
by the company. E. J. Cannon, 1
head of the legal department of the
Northern Pacific at Spokane, was
here last evening and gave out the
above information. Mr. Cannon's
mission to the city was to look over
the condtion of things with reference
to the location of the dock, street
crossings and grades.
The company asked the oouncilmen
to sign a couple of easements where ,
the dock now stands. In these pap
era the company agrees to allow the
city to use the land for dock purposes
on condition that the city move the
dock off upon one year's notice, j
The city has refused to sign the

F. L. Burgan returned fiom the

reports great activty on the part of

Railroad in that locality. Mr. Bur
gan went into the St. Joe country by
way of De Borgia, crossing over the
divde at. Eagle Peak, and down to
the St. Joe river proper.
In this section of the country the
railroad has run four distinct surveys
and trails, and is now engaged in
running the fifth, in the hope of find
ing a suitable pass with as little tun
neling as possible to Spokane. It is,
however, a settled fact that the road
will come down the St. Joe river, and
the best route found so far is the one
down Cedar Creek to where it emp
ties into the St. Joe. This route
entails about a mile and a quarter of
tunneling. It is bardly possible that
the road will pass through this city

The alldermen told Mr. Cannon that
before they would sign these ease

opinion the city would win out on
such a proposition. He thought the
city was in the right, but before he
left the city, asked the members of

Boise, Idaho, Aug. 17.—In an
opinion handed down by Judge Beat
ty of the federal court in the case of
the Clearwater Timber company versus
Shoshone county et. al, a decision is
reached in favor of the complainant
to the effect that Shoshone county
can not collect taxes levied upon cer

lands until the government has issued
patents.
The lands are of two classes, those
selected by the Northern Pacific Rail
way company as indemnity lands in
lieu of those surrendered to the gov
ernment within the limit of forest
reserves, and those selected by the
same company in lieu of lands sur
rendered to the government In the

Judge Beatty says: "At the

the government has issued him re
