he fixed by this Office, failing in

In an interview had here with

A certain wire-fence was declar-
ed by our last Council to be lawful.
This simply means you can recov-
er damages if your fence is broken
by your ncighbors cattle, because
your Geld vas protected IN the
manner prescribed by Law, but il
does not mean you can fence more
than 50 acres for : pasture, With
such 4 fence.

A good plan in making up clothes for
small boys is to make two pairs OF sleeves

The First Steamboat Whistle.

The story of the first steam whistle on the
Missouri river is amusing. Its introduction
dates back to 1874, AT that time the settlers
on the Missouri river were in the habit Of
making regular yearly visits to St Louis TO
do their trading for themselves and their
friends. They were not provided with daily
intercourse with the outside world, and many
Who lived back from the river, seldom, il
ever, saw a steamboat more than once =
year. 1t happened that during the fall Of
1874 the steamboat Lexington started up the
Missouri river, loaded down to the guards
with freight.
The steamer was provided with steam
whiste--the first used on the Missouri river
and ~ it happened no one knew obout it
except Warner, who was wag and q lover
of joke The night after leaving st. Louis
the passengers were collected together play
ing cards (for fun in the cabin, when the
talk turned upon steamboat explosions, then
very common.
II feel perfectly safe on this boat" said
Warner as he dealt the cards.
''Whv?" inquired Yocum the planter.
"Why?" echoed the rest of the company.
Il will tell you why" said the waR, care
fully studying his cards. 'This boat is pro-
yided with a new patent safety valve, which
notifies passengers on board when It is about

Notwithstanding the fact that Warner told
his story with the most solemn and earnest
countenaDce, some were skeptical. Not so.

when the Lexington was steaming up the long,

engaged in doing justice to the kind Of meal
they were accustomed TO serve on steamboats,

| The passengers looked at each other n mo-

their faces. The first man to realize the sit
uation and act, was Yocum, the planter, who,
with hair erect and blanched face. jumped
up, CRYING as he pulled over one after another
of the passengers:
Run, run for yonr lives, the darn thing 10
going TO bust. Come with me, and lets save
ourselves"

Of the boat, AMI it was only by the exertions
Of some Of the crew that the more excited

An Oyster Ranch.

Charley kimball is progressive and
wants to make his part of the county
produce to the maximum of its re-
sources 1t is well understood that
the Reservation agitation will be kept
up until our Congressman interfere
and have the lake thrown open to the
whites. In fact, no one heed expect
even complimentary vote from this
county who does not pledge himself
to do what he can in that direction,
and Charley knows this. In anteipa
tion of the removal of the Indian
embargo from the lake trade, he has
made arrangements for establishing
an oyster bed in one of the coves.
There are plenty of shoals, ana sub.
st ute for tides will be found in the
winds, which, piling the water against
the shore, make an imitation tide that
will answer the purpose. Mr.. Kimball
has been experimf nting for some time
and says that oysters will thrive in the
lake water after they become accus.
toned to their new situation. AT first
the different character of the brine
affects them injuriously, but some OF
them are able to assimilate themselves
to the new circumstances, and they
produce others that are in their native
element, and although not quite so
large as the ocean oysters, have, owing
to the different salts by which the
water is impregnated, much supe-
rior flavor. Mr.. Kimball has inter
| ested some other capitalists in the
undertaking, and as soon as the Res
ervation is thrown open an oyster
plant will be established. 1t was OBJ
! jectcd that the Piutes would wade out
at and help themselves, thus destroy
| ing the crop; but this was easily
answered by Mr.. Kimball, who
demonstrated that no Indian was ever
seen eating an oyster. They never
seem 10 nave acquired leSLe iOr smell
| fish. None of our writers on Indian
manners and customs make any men.
ton of oysters being used as an
article of food. James Fennimore
Cooper, who was an acknow edged
authority, omits oysters from the
Indian diet; and even Mr.. Longfellow,
who displayed SO much knowledge Of
the Indians food supply in his poem
Hiawstha," says nothing about oys-
tiers. When the oyster bed is started
it will add another to the resources of
the State, and Mr.. Kimball will
deserve the fame and wealth which
will come to him through his enter
prise.

The random line will be run from the
north and the correct line staked out

necessary to do considerable work on
the State line to determine the point
of intersection, and as the whole
country is very rough it will take a
long time to finish the work.
