sidea in process of curing for the local
trade. Besides bams, shoulders and
bacon the firm will put out lard and a

add a cold storage to their plant and keep
the market supplied with meats properly
aged in cold storage.

Congressman Glenn Draws
a Short Straw in the
Committee Lists.
VERY SCANT
RECOGNITION
Subordinate Position on Two
Un-important Committees- Mines
and Mining and Elections.
Idaho's representative in the* lower
house of Congress evidenty did not make
a very marked impression upon Speaker
Henderson as his recognition on the com
mittee indicates. Congressman Glenn of
Idaho is mentioned but twice in the
make up of over 50 committees in con
gress and then as the minority member
of an unimportrnt committee. The
chances are that Idaho will not cut a
yery wide swath in national affairs in the
house in this congress. On the com
mittee of mines and mining Congress
man Glenn is at least in touch with one
representative interest in his state bnt as
the minority member he will have little
or no influence in shaping legislation.
Just at present the irrigation committee
and the rivers and harbora committee
are of the most immediate benefit to Ida
ho. As the President's message indicates
the administration ia greatly in favor of
irrigation and if Idaho had a strong ad
ministration man in congress during
this session his place would have been
undoubtedly upon this committee and he
could have made a strong showing for
Idaho.
The rivers and harbors committee has
special interest thia session for the whole
Columbia basin. Their deliberations
will carry the hopes ot all persona and
sections who favor the open river proposi
tion, and if recognition is given to the
project the rivers and harbors bill will
carry the initial appropriations for open-,
ing the riyer at the Dalles. It is favor
able to the project that the person nel of
this committee has suffered very little
change this session. Nearly all the
members of the present committee are
the ones who visited Lewiston and the
northwest last July and have a nersonal
knowledge of the need* of the Columbia
basin. Burton of Ohio it again the chair
man and Reevea of Illinois, Bishop of
Michigan, Acbeson of Pennsylvania,
Alexander of New York, Tongue of Ore
gon Lawrence of Maaaachuaetta, David
son of Wisconsin, McCulloch of Arkansas
and Ball of Texas, aU-of whom were here
last July hold their placet and haye a
personal understanding of the situation
and the open river question will receive
careful consideration at their hands.

Everything is running smoothly for
success at the Wintez Race meeting.
Secretary Mount is receiving daily no
tices from outside parties who con
template being present with horses at
the meeting. There are more than 35
horses now in training at the track add
from advices received Secretary Mount ia
confident that there will be as many
more present to run for the parses.
The meeting will beheld December s6,
37 and 28 a three days meeting with $600
net, guaranteed. There has been |6oo
already subscribed and guaranteed bnt
the success* of the meeting will insure
folly f 1000 in purses to the horseman.
From the outlook every race will be well
filled with tome of the beat and gamest

Ltwistea Light Fiant S*M.
The Vineland company through its
representative E. H. Libby took the first
steps thia week in closing the deal for
the jmrehaae of the Lewiston Electric
Light plant. An option was secured
some months ago and Mr. Libby, for the
company, made a preliminary payment
on the purchase price this week. The
plant will be operated, when turned over,
in conuectiou with the company's Vine
land ditch. The present ditch flume on
Asotin creek can Ire used to secure an
additional too feet in fall and a far
greater gain of efficient power with no
more use of wate. .
Mr. Libby has given to the press a
stateuient that the company contemplates
extensive improvements 111 the plant
when the final transfer is made which
will put it in shape to give efficient ser
vice to the present consumers ami supply
all the needs of the city. This is only a
preliminary step to the establishment of
a great power plant on the Grande Ronde
which will supply Asotin, Clarkston and
Lewiston with light and power for all
present and future needs, and opens up
the possibilities of large tnamifacturing
interests in the Lewiston Valley.

Decision in Idaho Affecting Counties and
Towns.
Boise, Idaho, Dec. 10. —The supreme
court today hauded down an opinion of
much importance to all counties and
towns in the state, the doctrine being
laid down that no member of a hoard of
commissioners or city councilman can
contract au obligation binding upon the
county or city.
The case is that of II. A. Castle vs.
Bannock county. Castle, a doctor, was
county physician on a salary. When
smallpox broke out in Pocatello and the
patients were were put in a pesthouse.
Frank M. Watson, chairman of the hoard
and the county's purchasing agent, told
Dr. Castle to care for the patients and
the county would pay him. Castle did
so and put in a bil' for $330.6c. All but
|6o.6o was disallowed. He appealed to
the district court, .which rendered judg
ment against the county. On appeal to
the supreme court that judgment is re
versed.
The opinion, after reciting the facts of
the case and referring to nqmerous an
thorities says: "It will be observed by
reading the authorities cited that the
board of county commissioners or the
city council of a city now are empowered
to do certain thibgs, but nowhere do we
find in the citations that an individual
member of the board of commissioners
or a member of a city council can make
contract and thereby create an .obligation
binding upon the county or oitv-''

peared.
The other plays that will be presented
during the week are: "Brother Against
Brother," "The Danitea," "A True Ken
tuckian," "East Lynne." 'My Uncle
from New York," and "Forget Me Not.'
The Vancouver, B. C. World has the
following concerning the company:
"The Clara Hammer Co. still continues
to draw large and appreciative audiences,
"Brother Against Brother," was the at
traction at the Theater Royal lost even
ing, and the audience was loud in praiae
both 41 the play and players. Clara
Hammer gavewnother proof of her ability
in tbe part of Naome. It is plain that
Misa Hammer has become a great favorite
with the Vancouver theater goers. Dave
Williams made a very funny Lazarus and
waa better than ever in the role. He
kept the audience in a lively pitch
throughout the performance. The
specialties were all well received, bqth
the singing and dancing. As to the rest
of the company all assisted abl^ to make
the performance a success, and no doubt
another full house will greet them to
night."

RIVER
ROUTE
The Short Line Plans an
Extension Down Sal
mon to Lewiston.
SURVEYORS NOW
AT WORK
The New Blackfoot — Mackay
Branch Will Be Extended down
the River.
Railroad building for Idaho is now a
prominent feature of news in the press
dispatches, and there seems a well de
fined idea that something will be done in
the coming season to open up the interior
of the state. The Northern Pacific plans
the Missoula cut-off are well known
the public, but a new feature of the
railroad situation appears in a recent dis
patch from Salt Lake which gives out the
news that the Short Line is planing to ex
tend the Blackfoot-Mackay line down the
Salm -n to join the O.R.& N. at Lewiston.
A party of Oregon Short Line sur
veyors," says the Herald, "has started
upou the work of surveying an extension
of the new branch running from Black
foot to Mackay. The ultimate objective
point of the Short Line in this extension
neither Challis,. Salmon City nor
Thunder Mountain. If a feasible route
can be found the road will be built
through to Lewiston, Idaho on the east
ern border of the state, and there it will
connect with a proposed branch of the
Oregon Railroad & Navigation coni
pany."
The Harriman system has in con
templation a plan involving the expend
iture of millions of dollars and the con
struction of a line with feeders, transvers
ing the entire central part of Idaho and
opening up probably the richest mineral,
agricultural and timber section in the
west that is at present without a railroad.
The first objective point will be
Thunder Mountain which will be reached
by a spur from the main line up the
Middle fork of Salmon. Beyond Thun
der Mountain the route is vague. An

attempt will be made to cross the mount
ains to the main Salmon if not the Mid
dle fork will be followed to the main
stream, and the Salmon followed to tbe
Snake and that stream takeu down to
Lewiston.
Another route which is said to be feas
ible is to leave the course of the Salmon
near the Buffalo Hump mountains, strik
ing northward across the range at its
most approachable point, probably near
American creek, and following that
stream and the South fork of the Clear
water to Mt. Idaho. From Mt. Idaho to
Lewiston and thence to Grange City
Junction, Oregon, on the Oregon Rail
road & Navigation company, that road
has a survey made daring the Buffalo
Hump excitement. This survey coaid
be followed, or a divergence could be
made from Lewiston north to Moscow,
the latter route, if fonnd practicable, giv
ing a more direct line to Spokane. In
either event, connection would be made
with the O. R. & N. and the Northern
Pacific.
Will Build a Cold Storage.
White Bros, are making active pre
pa ratiotas to extend their wholesale fruit
shipments for next season. They are
just closing up their first seasons busi
ness having «hipped to eastern points ia8
carloads of fruit from Snake river and
Palouae points. The last carload of
prunes from the Moscow drier was
shipped Tuesday and a carload or two o
apples from Kendrick will close the sea
son's business.
Will White is now at St. Paul looking
after lines of trade for next years ship
ment. He will visit Duluth and other
eastern shipping pointa. A lease has
been secured on the Bolton .building end
the office and shipping rooms have been
transferred then this week. A cold
storage building will l>e erected on land
leased from the Northern Pacific near
the depot and a building will be begun
as soon as arrangements are perfected.
Ed White, who was seen concerning the
plans of the matter, said: "We will build
a cold storage here before spring and an
other in Moscow as soon as the season
opens. Our business has lieen satisfactory
this year anil we expect to extend it in
all lilies in the coming season. V\ itb
cold storage equipment we can handle
with profit to the grower much of the
fruit and vegetable products that aie
now wasted because of over supply in tlie
local markets.''
