Lien Protest Against Idaho River Improvement Plan Opens Front
A prolonged protest notes that mill owners in Clearwater and neighboring counties oppose the Idaho River Improvement Company's bid for a franchise to improve the North Fork of the river. They warn the deal would raise tolls, concentrate control in a single firm, threaten small mills, and hinder timber industry development, urging fair competition and protection of local resources.

L. Hathaway arrived in the city from his Grouse Creek placer camp carrying a rifle and bags of dust. He deposited wealth at the Bank of Weiser and announced a second partial clean-up this season.
