SPrintvittt, Ortyen,
Arco, Idaho After a mosC nuc
cesMful eight hours trip across the
lava desert, during which we en
countered neither man nor water
with the exception of that found
at the Murray ranch near ftig
Butte, the Heo Mountaineer, of
New York arrived here last night.
As souvenirs of our trip across
the lavas we brought in witli us
the pelts of two coyotes, chot dur
ing our crowing. Had we had a
little more time we could have
brought in the pelt of some hears,
a number of which were fighted
during the ride acrons the barren
waHtes. Deer and antelope were
aluo spotted hut the law in Idaho
protects antelope and makes it a
pretty serious affair if an outsider
is ciught shooting deer without a
licence and accompanied by a
licensed guide.
'It was with, some misgivings
that wtackled the desert tor had
any part of our machine broken
down it would have meant a walk
of anywhere from ten to thirty
miles before aid could be'-' secured
and thin an equal amount oj time
would le cousumed in returning
to the machine with aid. That
meant at least three davs on the
desert for'the men remaining with
the machine. We were well sup
plied with water and grub however
More starting as we well knew
the dangers of desert travel, which
knowledge-waa MrengtheneH by
the sighting of countless bones of
men and domestic animals which
had died while en route acio.s the
stretch of couutry.
From Aroo. we go to Hailey, the
next settlement, about a hundred
miles across country, with ranches
scattered every ten to fifteen miles.
This is the wildest country in the
west and abounds in game and
fish. We frequently pass .the
camps of hunters and trappers,'
some of them eastern men out for
sport and some of. them western
men out for gain. They are. all
J clad to see the Reo Mountaineer
and when stopping for a meal or a
chat we are always entitled to the
best. . ... k .
At Tocatello we found two auto
mobiles in iise on the streets and
at Hailey there are three in use,!
so no matter how remote the
towns the automobile" ia no longer
a stranger, although the Reo used
by os is the largest car that has
ever been seen in these Idaho set
tlements, the cars ueed.and owned
out here' being runabouts of
limited horse-power. r -
Itiis expected that Portland will
be reached about October. 20th,
although this will depend entirely
upon the depth of snow we en
counter in 'crossing .the Cascaldes-p
our steepest mountain range.-

MADRAS FLOUR
MILL IS RUNNING
The new flouring mill of the
Madras Milling & Mercantile Co.
was started up during the week
and will soon lx grinding out fiour
regularly, although some delay
is being exrienced just now in
getting things to working properly.
The engine was fired up last week
for the purjose of testing the ma
chinery, and on Monday o! this
week the grain was started on its
journey to the rollers, so as to be
converted into flour. Owing to
some minor troubles with the
pumping machinery there is a
slight delay in getting the mill in
to perferct working order, but
"tizhtenine ud" process will be
over with and then the mill will
begin to grind steadily.
The new flouring mill has a
capacity of 50 barrels of flour per
dav. Max Putz. the secretary of
the company, is an experienced
miller, and in fact has the reputa
tion of being one of tho best, mil
lers in Lastern Oregon, lie op
erated a mill at Mitchell for sev
eral years, and then moved his
mill to this place. Under his
management the mill at this place
should turn out firt-class flour,
and from the amount of flour
which is hauled into' Central Ore
gon, there should be no trouble in
marketing all of the flour that
this mill can produce even when
running at full capacity. Madras

It took hardly more than one
day for Judge Bradshaw to clean
up the civil docket in the present
session of the circuit court which
convened lat Monday morning.
A large number of the civil suits
for damages and actions on notes
bad been settled out of court and
Judge Bradshaw in consequence
had but little testimony to hear,
Trie four suits for right of way
brought by the Central Oregon
Transportation company against
Morrow Keenan were dismissed
by Judge Bradshaw on the grounds
that the comnanv. inasmuch as
there were no outward manifesta
tions of it building either a rail
road or an electric line, had no
right to condemn property for right
of way. The matter will in all
probability be settled by the par
ties in question without further
action in the court.
"Guilty as charged in the indict
ment," was the verdict rendered
by the jury which heard the
testimony in the first of the crim
inal cases, that of the State vs Lee
Goodwin on a charge of horse
stealing. The verdict was return
ed Tuesday night.
Jeff Yarbrough, who was indict
ed for stealing horses of P. A. Fin-
ley, pled guilty to the charge, and
will be given sentence at the ter
mination of the present term at
the same time that others who
have been found guilty' will' hear
their penalties.
The trial of Lark Elliott on his
first indictment resulted in a ver
diet of not guilty and district
attorney Menefee dismissed the
second indictment giving as his
reason that the witnesses before
the grand jury which returned the
indictments would not swear to
the same charges when placed up
on the witness stand.
Amos Burris and Frank Till
man against whom the state had
returned indictments charging
them with horse stealing were
taken before the court Wednesday
night. Both pleaded gnilty and
will receive sentence the first of
next . week unless the criminal
docket is cleared v up before the
close of the present week.
Harry Pitzer, who was indicted
as an accessory to an assault com
mitted on Walter Smith, was dis
charged upon motion of the dis
trict attorney.
There are still five criminal
cases to be tried at this term. All
of these are being held up pend
ing the arrival of witnesses who
have been subnoened. It is ex
pected that witnesses in the Walk
er assault case Will be here today
so that the trial will be under way
either late this evening or tomor
came upon what apfwared to be a
cabin, moss-covered and aban
doned, without doors, or window.
Surprised to find a cabin in that
out-of-the-way place, Wallace ap
proached the hut and was still fur
ther surprised to find that the
bouse, about 12 by 14 feet in
dimensions, had neither doora nor
windows, nor were places left for
these usually necessary aperture
in a house.
The structure was built of stone,
evenly cut and put in place like
brick, with joints carefully and
regularly broken, the roof arched
over and also of the same sized cut
stones as those in the walls, the
whole laid in mortar or cement.
It appeared to . be the work of
skilled workmen and all indica
tions pointed to great age. The
stone walls and roof were deeply
covered with moss and overgrown
with vines, and no sign of recent
occupation could be found. In
fact, the old prospector, who has
seen many strange things in the
mountains, could not find that
there ever had been aa opportunity
to occupy the place, nor were there
any signs that any one had ever
camped near the mysterious cabin.
Coming out of the mountains,
Mr. Wallace told the story of his
find to Borne friends, and yestei
day a party of men, headed by C.
W. Matthews of Dallas, left this
city for Detroit, from which place
they will go to the mysterious cabin
to investigate the place and ascer
tain the use to which it has been
put in the past, it any.
The theory is that the cabin was
built ages ago as a tomb for some
Indian chief who ruled in the val
ley and whose buriel was had in
that solitude; that the cabin was
built by bis tribesmen much as the
ancient tombs as the Pharaohs
were built, and that when the
tomb is opened treasurers may be
foyrid that will make the finders
wealthy. Others believe the cabin
covers some mineral find and that
underground passage will be
an
discovered that leads to the struct
ure, while still others believe the
entire story of the cabin is a hoax,
and that if anything was found it
was simply a pile of rocks thrown
together irregularly - a3 a land
mark, and the finder imagined the
pile ts be in the shape of a cabin.
Mr. Matthews and party are ex
pected to return soon from the
mountains, when it is hoped the
find of tne old prospector will be
exlained. Journal.

Reports reaching this city tell a

MITCHELL WANTS
QUICK DECISION
.United States Senator John H.
Mitchell wants his case on appeal
to the federal supreme conrt to be
advanced and decided as soon as
possible.
Senator Mitchell left last eve
ning for Seattle, where he will re
main for several days attending
to private business and then visit
his daughter in Tacoma for a short
time.
As he stepped aboard the North
Coast Limited train he was asked
regarding the report recently tele
graphed from Washington that he
had not asked the supreme court
to advance his cause on the calen
dar so as to have an early hear
ing, the course pursued by United
States Senator Burton of Kansas,
also under conviction in the
federal court.
"The sooner the better," was
his brief response to questions as
to whether or not he desired an
early decision of his appeal. "My
case is in the hands of my law
yers, however, and it is the part of
a wise client to leave the conduct
of his case to their judgement."
Senator Mitchell said that ex
United States Senator John F.
Thurston of Nebraska was his sen
ior counsel to whom he looked to
determine dhe wise course with
reference to handling the case be
fore the supreme court.
Senator Mitchell intimated that
he strongly resents the suggestion
that he should resign his office
and the inference was that he in
tends to remain in the position
until the higher court has dis
posed of the appeal. Journal.
