A New Industry IN HALEY.

Thomas kingsbury, the fruit dealer,
has just beugn the manufacture Of CT
der in this city. He recently procured
press, and made few barrels of
cider, which is pronounced excellent
by all who have tasted it. In a few
days he will probably place some on
sale. If he meets with sufficient ell
enlargement, he will enlarge his man
ufacturing facilities, with the view OF
supplying all this portion of Idaho.
Mr.. kingsbury deserves we'll of the
people of Wood River for the enter.
prise which he displays, and as he
proposes to make and sell a superior
article i,e will doubtless succeed.

HALEY Alone.
The scarcity Of money .on Wood
River, notwithstanding the increased
yield of our mines, is undoubtedly due
to the large amounts paid for freight
and kindred purposes. For express,
age alone-it will hardly be believed
an average Of $4,000 per month is
paid into the HALEY office. This is
about FIVE times as much as is paid
into either the Bellevue or ketchum
Office. fi..''
"A TINEs reporter recently inter-
viewed gentleman who is we'll posted
on the subject. That gentleman says
that at Ogden, which is the distribut-
ing office for Utah, Montana and
Idaho, the express receipts aggregate
between $4,000 and $4,000 per
month. ..I -...-fI ....t ..
+ Butte is the best express town
except Ogden-between Portland and
the Rocky Mountains, and Haley
ranks next to Butte. The weight of
Eexpress matter received at Haley will
average ton a day, the year round,
and the revenue probably averages
nearly $4,000 per month. The month
ly revenue Of the Bellevue Office is
about 5000 per month, while that Of
the Ketchum office is about the same.
The express agent at HALEY receives
salary of $50 or 500 a month, while
the agents at Bellevue and Ketchum
work ON a percentage. They get IL
per cent.
The express business Of Wood
River is increasing rapidly, and it is
probable that, unless something un-
foreseen happens, HALEY will remain
in the lead for years.

that for grain that was never irri-

Mr.. c. has grain on his own ranch,

returns.
Mr.. Thomas Wait has grain part
of which was irri gated and part was
not. The only difference between
that flat was irrigated and that that
was not irrigated is this: The grain
that was not irrigated is about two

According to Mr.. C.'s own statement,
there is not enough water to irrigate

grain on Camas does not need irriga-
ton is the fact shat the grain did not

Snakes, HindoOs and Europeans.

Against the snakes there is an an
nually increasing bitterness, and if it
were not that Asiatics are AsiaticS, such
a wholesale slaughter of these deadly
reptiles might be accomplished as would
thin their numbers very rapidly, and in
certain districts probably eXterminate
them. Yet unfortunately the Hindoo
persists in building huts without win
dows and in keeping his firewood and
domestic chattels in the darkest corner
of his hut, and in going with bare feet
and hands and without light of any
kind to fetch them when he needs them.
The result is that he disturbs snake,
and when the doctor comes to see the
corpse he finds either on the fingers or
the toes the tiny double puncture which
is the cobra's or korait's broad-arrow
of death. To combat the snake sue
cessfully there is needed in the first
place daylight, and in the next shoe
leather. These reptiles are nocturnal,
and against boots are powerless. The
result is that during all the time Eu-
ropeans have been in India there have
been few cases of snake-bite among
them. When European meets snake
he kills it; but when. snake
meets native, it kills him. The
former lives in well-lighted house,
and wears clothing all over his body,
and against this double advantage the
snake, the most easily killed or crippled
of all created creatures, has no chance.
The native, however, goes cropping with
bare limbs in the corners of his pitch
dark rooms, and the result is death,
swift, painful and inevitable. Another
point of contrast that illustrates the
fortunate immunity of Europeans is
that their houses are raised above the
ground, and that the snake, though it
may make the complete circuit of the
walls, discovers no means of ingress
except the bathroom water-pipe, and
this it always finds covered by perfor-
ated zinc for the very purpose of pre-
venting snakes from coming into houses.
The native hut, on the other hand, is
on the level of the ground, and the
greater part of the front is doorway"
protected only by hanging nets and
loosely made hurdles of straw or
grasses. The snake, therefore, incom-
moded, it may be, by the rain which
has inundated its hole, salles forth to
find dry quarters, and has only to travel
along the wall of the first hut to find an
easy passage open for it, and a comfort
able corner to occupy. -LOndoH Ze,e-

Wrecked on the Pacific.

1t is far cry from San Francisco to
Yokohama, the distance seeming the
greater by reason of the loneliness of
the way. Nineteen days have been oc-
cupied in crossing 4, 700 miles of water,
and during all that time till within a
hundred miles of Yokohama we did not
see sail or other sign of human life.
Life of any kind except that borne along
by the ship herself has been curiously
absent. One day missionary from
Illinois created some excitement by dis
covering whale; but it turned out to
be only porpoise. Opportunities for
observing the common objects of the
sea are limited in Illinois, But for the
adbatross the great waste of water
bounded by the horizon would be abso-
'utely lifeless.
A wreck on the Atlantic is bad
enough, but wreck on the Pacific is
almost hopeless. On recent passage
of one of these steamers the lookout
discovered far on the lee what looked
like an abandoned junk. Bearing
down upon it, signs of life were noted,
and boat was prepared for
the rescue. The steamer, bearing
close down upon the junk and
having too much way on her,
passed it. Whereupon eight half
starved japanese, who had been eagerly
watching her approach, believing the
steamer was after all abandoning them,
flung themselves upon the deck with
despairing shrek, and all that could be
seen was half-a-dozen skeleton hands
waving over the bulwarks of the junk
mute appeal to relent and rescue
them. When the Japanese were taken
off they could scarcely crawl across the
deck of the steamer, and one died the
first night delirious with his first meal
1t was a junk, rice laden, and had been
driven out to sea by a typhoon. Three
long months they had been tossing
about the lonely Pacific, hungrily scan
ming the horizon and never q sail did
they see till the steamer hove in sight.
They had subsisted wholly on raw rice,
and, it fortunately being the rainy sea-
son, had found bare but sufficient
supply of water. Under the unremitting
care of their rescuers the seven Japa-
nese recovered health and strength. In
deed before being landed at Yokohama
they were well enough to roundly abuse
the captain for having burned their
waterlogged junk after saving them,
and to threaten an action for damages.
