Ira Central road, in the hearing |
before the House committee said
regarding bis road: “We are frank
to slate that unless government
aid is given the work will have to

we negotiated with a largo foreign'
bunking bouse, but have not sue- j
ceeded in placing she bonds.”

Boise, March 28.—-Steve Adams,
a member of the western federation
of miners in jail here has finally
confessed to the details of the plot
i to burn an entire train of non
union miners with greek fire. He
claims he was sent to Pocatello by
i Havwood and Mover to kill the
*
i miners who were enroute to Color
i ada from the Cour de Alone. The
train was aiso filled with women
and children so that his heart
failed him and he did not commit
the deed.
Washington, March 27.--Senutor

everything of every nature, is filled
promptly and in exact accord with
the instruction of the man who

up for the coming election end

manner and there is no desire for
a change. Two or three of the
councilmen have expressed their
intention of not running again hut
no mention has been heard of pos
sible substitutes.
The polls will be open Tuesday
from a. m. to 7 p. rn. at the coun
cil room over the fire hall. J. Y.
Ostrander, Geo. Robbins and A.
P. Olson will be judges of election.

bav. Nine men for that place came
upon the Santa Clara and the Ex
celsior left five more at Orea. Noth
ing can be learned from the men
as to what the intentions of the
company are, lurther than the
i statement that plenty of money is
available and extensive work will
be done this season.
