WHEN WILL IT BE BUILT
The Question Of the Hour, and the Glen.

The Question Of tho Hour, and the Gen.
cral Salutation, Just Now.
"When will the courthouse be
built?" is now the regulation saluta.
ton. "Don't know. Give it up" is
the usual reply.
A rough estimate on the almanac
plan gives the following result:
The County Commissioners have ad.
journed until the last of the present
month, to meet and resolve upon a
choice of plans submitted. They are
not apt to decide Immediately, owing
to many reasons. Give them to June
10, to arrive at u conclusion. Then
bids must he advertised for during u
period of 40 days. Meantime the
District Court meets, and the County
Commissioners also in regular session,
and adjourn before the expiration of
the 40 days, and may not meet agai,
as they are not oblig d to before the
next regular session which will be in
October, and allowing 10 days more
to conclude on accepting bid it will
be so late in the season that snow NAV
fall any day and the contractors will
not care particularly to star. in under
bonds to complete the work before
spring.
The decision, as to one of the plans
submitted, should have been arrived
at during the last session. The county
of Alturas does not desire u Ken
lucky farmhouse, an invalid asylum
nor WOODEN mill plan, and the regu.
lar model courthouse adopted b,
every older community should be the
one adopted here.

TWO GOOD EXAMPLES.
That Should be Followed bv Every
Claim. Owner on WM,0 River.

Claim.Owncr on WM,l River.
Mr.. Brim, prospector who has had
his claims in market long time and
kept them undeveloped, recently COM
menced work OH ttem and is shipping
ore to market. The first days work
on the locations gave him a wagon
load of ore. The claims are seven
miles southwest from Haley. If
other claim. owners were to initiate
Mr.. Brim's example, they might be-
come independently rich instead OF
etcrnally waiting for some capitalist
to buy them out.
Mr.. Lowering, an old prospector
who has owned some mine locations
on Lees gulch for the past two years,
and merely kept them represented
awaiting purchasers, became SO dis.
gusted lately at the delay of capt.
talists in bidding for his prospects,
that he started work on them himself,
and yesterday brought two wagon
loads of rich ore taken from them to
Bellevue and sold it. He will con-
tinue working the claims, and extract
ing and selling ore-which will prove
more profitable to him than if he had
sold his prospects at small price.

Scientific Information.

In this age of progress people are
constantly searching for something
new, whether it be in the domain OF
domestic industry, or in the wider
field of science. Twenty learned
scientists have experimental long and
carefully with a new discovery called
"Salicylica," and have deduced from
their observations that it is the great
est remedy for Rheumatism, Gout and
Neuralgia ever known. Its success
has been certain in every case.

Motive,

There are few persons who fully COM
prehend the meaning of motive. 1t is
frequently said "What was his mo,
tive ?" "What is that mans motive
in doing so and so ?" There is more in
the question than is generally conceived,
much less expressed. The statesman
who receives the support of an indi-
vidual who assumes an influence, Cir
cumscribed or potential, knows the
force and weight of the power welded
! to the extent of the motive of the offered
support, as the person presuming on
his impression displays mereenary
spirit, claiming money or position. The
inference drawn at once by a man OF
brains is that the apparent sel6shness
of the support is in itself a suppressive
element, rendering useless the action
of the person. The one weighs witt
the other. Thus it is that there is Sc
much power in fanaticism; no matter
how crude it is honest. Hence we fine

How He Stretched Hlmse If.

Now that Tomb Thumb is gone old
anecdotes are Of course expected. One
which is not well knewn here is told
in France of a country notary who
made a journey of 300 miles expressly
to see the little man. Arriving by
mischance too late for the last public
exhibition, they told the notary at the
place of exhibition that he had some
chance of seing Tom Thumb at the
hotel whence the Barnum Company
were soon to depart. He came how
ever, even there too late, and being
shown to Tom Thumbs former apart
ment, he found in the sitting-room a
latter arrival in possession. Unaware,
of course, of the evanishment of the
former tenant, or of the installation of
the later one, he knocked at the door.

Duties of Daily Life.

Life is not entirely made up of great
evils or heavy trials but the perpetual
recurrence of petty evils and small
trials is the ordinary and appointed ex-
ercise of the christian graces. To bear
with the failings of those about us
with their intirmities, their bad judg-
ment, their i'll breeding, their perverse
tempers to endure neglect when we
feel we deserve attention, and ingrati-
tude where we expected thanks to
bear with the company of disagreeable
people whom Providence has placed in
our way and whom he has provided ON
purpose for the trial of our virtue, these
are the best exercisers of patience and
self-denial, and the better because not
chosen by ourselves. To bear with
vexations in business, with disappoint
ment in our expectations, with inter
ruptions of our retirement, with folly
