Exchange Notes.

Our exchanges from the Kama
wha Valley are uniform in bestow-
ing high tributes to the memory of
Mr., Charles N. Jones, lately killed
at his post as engineer on the G. q
O. r. r. He seems to have been
universally esteemed as most
faithful officer and II true man in
every respect.
The State Standard came forth
again last week, as an SPACE, 80
column sheet, with Mr.. S. II. Pier
sol in editorial charge. 1t issues
from rooms over Fitzhugh & Hun
ter's music rooms, on Market Street,
where Piersol & Goshorn advertise
as General Job Printers. We are
glad to note that it is out squarely
in favor of prohibition.
The Saturday Visitor copies the
stuff from the Wheeling Register
about legislating the fryingpan from
the kitchen and mince-pie from the
table. Now let it copy the Regis
ter's recent three-column editorial
against the outrageous tyranny and
the Ubiquitous assault on personal
liberty it finds in the proposition to
remove the grog-shop nuisance by
Legislation. These articles will 90
well together for light reading.
We are rejoiced that SO many of
our State exchanges came out so I'M
qualifedly for the right of the peo-
pie to be heard on the question of
prohibition. 1t remains to be seen
how long the corrupt and guilty
power of the condemned traffic shall
be able to defy press and people.
Too BAD.-In making up our
forms last week the firm names at
the head of Jacob, Cracraft & Fer
guson's card were picked off by mis-
take and hitched on at the bottom
of Vance, Hughes & Co.'S advertise
ment, making their remarks about
their special makes of boots and
shoes close thus:
"Ask your dealer for them and
look for the stamp.
JOHN J. JACOB, E. G. CRACRAFT,
H. G. FERGUSON"
If this blunder be not one of the
objectionable sins, we beg pardon
most humbly of all parties concern
ed. We doubt not that these emf
nent attorneys and these honored
merchants of long standing would
take pleasure ir bestowing mutual
compliments and recommends
tions, but we're sure they don't
want us to mix them up after the
fashion noted.

CHESTER HAMs.-The rich and
delicious perfumes ever floating on
kitchen breezes from d. G. Lists
Chester Hams, need no additional
tribute that aromatic adjectives
might bestow. Somehow Mr.. List
seems to have discovered the happy
art of extracting all the poetry,
bliss and sweetness dwelling in all
the lovely pigs of the century,
and of tastefully confirming the ex-
quisite result within each and
every several Chester Ham he sends
forth to hungry world.

"Scio," in the Marietta Register,
paints a sad picture of the villain
Gus traffic's work in Belpre. He
says that saloons with their natur-
al accomplishments of disorder and
debauchery are plying their miser-
able trade every day, Sundays in
cluded. These grog-mills will con-
tinue to grind out their grists Of
woes till the prohibition gates shut
off the current of death that propels
them.

Don't Forget This.

Of the sixty members of the Leg

twenty decreed, for what consider

of the State. Will the people re-
member this?

SKATING RINK-The Marietta
Register says: The Skating Rink
closed Saturday night and the

by many and run solely as money

REvIvAL.-Ever since New Year
nightthe pastor ofthe U. B. Church,

That FlOater.

j. P. Ennis says that the raft that
hoatcd down the river last Friday
evening was his. 1t was made to
ferry some men at work cutting logs
for him across the river. and as they
preferred to live on the raft they kept
their bedding and grub on board.
Last Friday evening the guy rope
stretched across the river broke. and
the raft hoated off. AS soon as the
four men on board the foater realized
that they were adrift they jumped
into the river and swan ashore, tax
ing nothing with them but what they
had on. The raft, if not wrecked, is
probably floating down the Snake
river toward the Pacific Ocean b,
this time.

WHEN ADVERSE CLAIMS MAY BE
FILED.

Judge Mcfarland, Commissioner Of
the United States Land Office, recent.
" decided that adverse claims ma,
be 6led,until the expiration of the day
upon which the last issue Of the paper
containing the notice of application is
published. "Following is synopsis, Of
the case:
James N. Smith, ct al, filed miner
al application in the Lake City, Color
ado, Office. February 25th, publica-
ton was commenced and continued
once a week for nine consecutive
weeks, in all, ten publications-the
last appearing in the issue of April 20,
1882. At 1910 am. of that dav, J. E.
Elledge filed an adverse claim, which
was dismissed by the local officers be-
cause the last publication had expired,
and with it the right to file an adverse
claim during the period Of publica-
ton, given by the mining act, and
Smith, ct al, were allowed to enter.
The adverse claimant, Elledge, APP
peaaed from the ruling rejecting his
adverse claim and allowing the entry
of Smith, ct al. The commissioner in
his ruling says to the local officers:
''The last publication appeared
April 29th. Said last issue was
circulated, published, and mailed be-
fore the hour Of opening the United
States Land Office on this day-in
fact, before daylight; and YOU there
fore conclude that at the hour of 1910
a. M. the period Of publication had ex-
PRED. From this conclusion entirely
dissent. Without stopping to argue
or explain the point.that a publication
in q morning paper is publication for
every moment OF that day, the com
missioner proceeds to say shat all
verse claims may be filed until the ex-
piration Of the day upon which the
last issue Of such weekly publication
is made" and therefore, the decision
OF the local Office rejecting the adj.
verse claim is reversed.

OF ore that may be offered, no matter
how small, and give sellers as good n
rate as they can get anywhere.

THE BULLION MINES.
Why They are not Shipping More Ore
Air.COnnectionS Mast be Made and the
Lower Levels Drained First.

A gentleman who came down from
Bullion to-day Informs the TINES
that two carloads of ore-one from
the Mayfiower, the other from the
Jay Gould mine, were shipped yes
terday, and that similar lots would
be shipped right along, as teams call
for 1t. No special effort will, how
ever, be made to hurry the shipping
OF ore for three or four weeks, rs the
men cannot work to good advantage
until four alr-connections, which will
require the time stated to complete,
are made. But after that date the
mines named will keep continuous
line of teams on the road, and ship a
vast quantity of ore. In the mean
time the dead or development work
will 60 on, and the number of men
employed will not be increased to
any extent.
The lower level Of the Bullion be
ing still under water, no ore can OF
course be extracted; but the water
will be drained soon, and work re

THE sAWTOOTH GRADE.

'UDOu Il.

1t VIII Be ssSalted" to Melt the Snow
Upon It.
Professor Jenney, the eminent geol-
ogist, returned from Smiley gulch, in
the Sawtooth range, a couple Of days
ago. He says that there is still a
great deal Of snow on the grade
across the range, and it is not likely
that teams can make the trip from
Galena to Sawtooth much before the
10Th of this month. Captain Owens,
who went up last Saturday, will
sprinkle the road with salt SO as to
hasten the melting Of the snow, and
this will probably render the road
passable by the date stated.
The trail shoyeled out a few days
ago is somewhat rough, but is passa-
bic for horsemen and pack animals.
Three well equipped pack trains of
40 to 80 mules each are kept con-
stantly between Galena and Saw
tooth, making a round trip in two
days.
Salmon Flat is entirely bare Of
snow, and SO is the town and vicinity
of Sawtooth City and the lower end
Of Smiley gulch, but for two or three
miles before getting into Vienna the
traveler.is compelled TO walk through
eighteen inches to two feet Of snow.
The warm weather Of the past few
days must, however, have thawed
the snow at 4 rapid rate, and if it
continues for week longer there
will be none left except on the high.
est mountains.
The Solacc mine, in which j. b.
Haggin iof San Francisco is inter
ested, is opening up masnilicently,
and there is no longer any doubt that
it will prove mine. The only ques-
ton now is as to the extent of the
ore body. There is already nearly
81 100000 worth Of ore in sight.

The Parliamentary Differences.

at Hadiield last night, said that the bill
was neither necessary nor very impOr-
tant in its practical operation, but in it's

yolving Sd grave departure from the
ordinary policy of the Government that
the lords might refuse to sanction them
without direct authorization from the
people. The Marquis of Salisbury did
not say whether the Peers intend to
fight the Arrears bill or abandon their
amendments, nor was any statement
m ide on this point by Lord SandOwn,
who spoke at Bufford Park, or by Ed
ward Gibson, who addressed a Conserv-
ative meeting at Ledburg. Sir Stafford
Northcote. apolo2izing for his absence

the BOZ WHOSE MOTHER CTS MS
HAIR.

You cau always tell boy whose moth
or cuts his hair. Not because the edges
of it look as if they had been chewed
off by an absent-minded horse, but you
eau tell it by the way he stops on the
streets and wriggles his shoulders.
When fond mother hast cut her boys
hair, she is careful to guard against any
annoyance and muss by laying sheet
on the carpet. 1t has never yet occurred
to her TO set him over a barren floor and
put the sheet around his neck. Then
she draws the front hair over his eyes
and leaves it there while sh3 cuts that
which Is Mt the back. The hair which
lies over his face appears to be sur.
charged with electric needles, less, and
that which is silently dropping down
under his shirt band appears to be on
fire, She has unconsciously continued
to push his head forward until his nose
presses his breast, aud is too busily en-
gagged to notice the snuffiing sound that
il becoming alarmingly frequent. In
the meantime he Is seized with an ire
s;stible desire tn blow his nose, bat rec
objects that his handkerchief was in
the other room. Then a fly lights on
his nose and does it so Unexpectedly
that he invariably dodges, and clutches
the points of the shears in his left ear /.
At this he commences to cry and wish
he was man. But his mother doesn't
notice him. She merely hits him on
the other ear to inspire him with conf
dence and goes on with the work.
When she is through, she holds his
jacket collar back from his neck, and
with her mouth blows the short hair
from the top of his head down the back
of his neck. He calls her attention to
this fact. but she looks for a nev place
on the top of his head and hits him
there, and asks him why he didn't use
his handkerchief. Then he takes his
awfully disfigured head to tho mirror
aud looks at il. AMI, young AZ he Ia,
shudders as he thinks what the boys on
the streets will say.
