THE TERRITORY.

The building boom has fairly eo...a.enced
in Benton and the only drawback now COL
slsts III the scarcity of lumber.-Ricey Press
George Bert has arrived in Benton from
the Baker district. Mr.. Bert reports eyery-
thing lively in the camp, new and substap-
tial buildings going up in every direction and
says the hardy miners ale busily engaged de-
Veloping their leads. We hope they will
meet with the reward their industry merits.

The Belmont mine and mill handled l,OOs
tons of ore in January at a cost of S. so ner
ton, and the total yield was $lO,27O. Lest
year ten stamps were added to the mill 2.OOO
feet OF tramway were built, $25, 900 were
spent in the mine-and yet there was n nrofit
over all expenses. Over 10000 tons of ore
are claimed to be in sight or attainable.-

1t is a singular fact that no president inau-
gurated on Friday has been elected to a Sec
ond term. John Quincy Adams, in 1926,
and Franklin Pierce, in 1858, were Inaugural
ted on a Friday. 1t is not likely that these
precedents distress Conklinc, Blaine, Grant,
ex-Secretary EVarts or Window, who look
wish longing eyes to the presidential opening
in 1884. Every day of the week, except
Sunday, has seen a president sworn into
Office. Washington, Jefferson, jackson, Ty-
Ter, Taylor, Lincoln and Hayes were sworn
in on a Monday. In four instances this re-
suited from the accidents Of March 4 falling
on Sunday. Aunroe, Polk and Grart lin
his second term) were i~naugurated on a Tues
day. Washington, Jefferson, Jackson. Fill
more and Buchanan entered tue White House
on a Wednesday. Madison in his second, and
Grant in his first term were sworn in on
Thursday. John Adams, Madison in his first
term. Van Buren,, Lincoln in his second term,
and johnson were sworn in on a Saturday. 1t
may comfort politicians past the middle age
to know that March 1 will no. fall upon a
Friday again until A. ID. 1921.

La -e ey IS tell of ardoc and activity: small
ones of %slugglsbne :. ejaculation and re 'haps
%curni"g. A f~ul'ness, or promiuonce of the
eyes indicates a talent for talking Or wl.ving
vii l great tuency Of language, and especially
on genelalitieS. TIE little knct Of wlinrias
that radiate from the corner Of The eyes in the
middle AGED, testify to thorough honesty and
trutHfulness. The feature may often be no.
ticed in business men Of known probity.
The various color of the eyes have each
their admirers. The light tlnts signify deli
cacy, amiability and refinement; the dark
eyes power aud strong pa sions, thot III the
sluggish temperament often does not call these
into activity. Blue speaks of tenderness and
extreme serSibility; GROWN goes with a
frank, wCnanly natt:re; hazel is a sign CT tai
ent, aud OF d better he'd tha / heart. Give
no confidence to 4 IN whose small, black
eyes flash like a bead, for she is prone TO sell
fishness and 1attling.
Noses are az diverse iii crosses - can we'll
be, though for convenience they are grouped
into five well-known classes. The Roman
for the positive and aggressive man, the
harsh-faced conqueror who cares nothing for
the Staying of muItitudes TO achieve his own
fortunes. It's popularity is theproduction of a
ridge near the upper end. The Greek is the
classic nose, d~enotlng artistic tastes and keen
refinement. 1t has throughout a regular and
delicate outline. The Jewish or hawklike
nose is known to all. 1t fits the sharp trader,
the speculator and money lenders. The &C.
l~estlal, or turned up nose, is merely the snub
heightened a little. 1t is found in inqulsitive
children, and often among the fair sex.
The mcuCh Is The most ~tell-tale feature of
the whole countenance. Have the lips re-
tanned the fair curves of childish purity, or has
an indulgence in drinking or other dissipation
made the lips coarse and tlabby? Here, as
elsewhere, a delicate shape means a fine sus-
ceptibility, while a coarser form reveals a
rude nature. Quite a number of little mus
Giles cluster about the corners OF the mouth,
and their involuntary motions often let ont a
secret that the lips and eyes have concealed.
A steady friend is not to be looked for in che
whose lips are | alfectly SIR 9th, but, instead,
where the red is crossed with upright wrinkles.
Hospitality displays several slightly curved
wrinkles, outward and downward from the
corners of the mouth. Large and full red
lips stand for a loving and faithful DISPOSE
ton.
Less attention is usually given to studying
the chin than it deserves, as it is often con-
CO lied by a beard. 1t is intimately connect
ed by the cerebellum or basis of the brain,
which is the organ of vital power-so much
so that if one be poorly developed the other
will be also. The deeper and wider the chin
and lower jaw, the more will be the uncon-
q~uerable firmness even to audacity, and the
larger VIII be the corresponding development
nf the cerebellum.

Young men are continually advised and
urged, privately and publicly, to take a wife,
the superstition being, whether erroneous or
not, that young women are very willing to
be taken under almost any circumstances.
The postulate that MARRIAGES. always desira-

when such conditions exist for and between
the couples as are far from common, and fire.
quently attainable. The prospect OF contl,l-
bal misery would seem to be quite as GOOD as
the prospect of connubial happiness, and no
amount of foresight will insure any pair
against sharp disappointment and bitter dis
content. Everybody is aware of this-it is
It'll lie less than a trueisIn-and vet on all sides
~preachments resound in favor of universal
matrimony. Many persons do not wish to
be married, and more-generally those anx-
lous to be-are not fitted for the state. Good
wifehood Or true h%usbandship is not inherit
ed with birth; nor does it appertain to the
multitude. Those who cannot live alone
cannot as a rule live together Cnnnubial
adaptation IS evidence of self-discipline, of
forbearance, of individuality. The best
wives and best husbands are doubtless thew

PACIFIC COAST MILLI0NAIHES.

Thirty-tWo years ago the great country be-
tween the Missouri river and the Pacific
ocean was an almost trackless wilderness. A
few forts and fur trading posts were scattered
over the vast domain, but no attempt at COL
onizatiOn, except in a few instances in Cali
fornia and Oregon. had been made. But
now-well, We will not dwell upon what it is
now. Had a magician waved his wand overthe
craggy mountain peaks; the desolate bat fer
tile valleys and the arid wastes of this then
unknown boundless empire and called forth
the brightest ons Of a fervid imagina-
ton he could not have wrought a greater
change than the past few years have wit
messed. The mountain heights have been
scaled, their treasures brought forth and the
thunders OF thousands of stamps are awaken
ing the echoes in the surrounding forests.
The peaceful abodes of the tillers of the soil
and quiet hamlets dot the fruitful valleys.
Roaming bands of kline are feeding upon the
Luxurious and nutritious grasses of the noun
tain slopes and plains. The arid wastes have
been made to bloom and blossom as the rose.
Villages, towns and cities have sprung up and
are the centres Of a busy, enterprising and
prosperous people. The uncertain trail and
the lonely, haIf-broken road have given place
to the track upon which swiftly rushes the
screaming, ponderons engine. The lurking
savage has wendell his way to distant lands,
or in his old-time haunts is yielding to the
impulses of d higher civilization. The once
wandering, weary prospector has bid adieu to
his lonely, cherries cabin and become the
bonanza king of to-day-and this brings us
to the point from which we started. These
men whose names we append below were but
a few short years ago wanderers over the great
Pacific slope. Nearly all of them we knew
when they were poor and unnoticed men.
They are now the bonanza and railroad kings
of the great west. Here is the list with the
amount for which each is assessed set oppo-
size his name:
