1t gives US pleasure to recopy the
following iiattering testimonial, re-
garding it as carrying great weight
and Significance coming from such a
veighty and prominent source:
The government land office (form-
crly located at COlfax) now at Spok-
ane Falls, w. T., is one Of the very
best managed offices in the country.
It is presided over by Mjor ]. NJ.
Armstrong, as register, who 50 ably
flied the position Of land commits
sioner at Washington, D. C., for a
number Of years, and John NJ. VIII
son, Of Ind, as receiver. Through
the good management OF these faith
fui others the governments busi-
ness with the people is pleasantly and
cXpeditiOHsly attended To. II we
are not mistaken the. register Of this
Office caused the government to re-
wise its fee bill whereby thousands
Of dollars are annually slved to the
people who ttke up the public linds.
We write this more freely because it
i not often that officials take the part
Of the people and work to have the
ices cut down, but usually desire to

Ina conversation with J. ]. Stage,
our old and experienced nursery man
located but a short distance from the
city on the Moran road, we learn that
the fruit trees have all escaped dam
age from the winter. He left with
US number of top twigs taken from
peach, apple, cherry and plum trees
and all showa healthy condition and
well developed buds. Even the april
cot is in fine shape, and all the fruits
promise an abundant yield the COM
ing season. Mr.. Stage is well versed
in treeolOgy, having made the grow
ing Of fruit both for the market and
for nursery purposes a close study for
years, and his opinion on the subject
is deserving Of attention and will
carry considerable weight 49, He is
satisfied that all of the fruit OF the
temperate zone will succeed in this
climate and can be cultivated profit
ably. Care should be taken not to
Over-Cultivate about August. We
believe that as tins part of the Terri
tory becomes more thoroughly de-
veloped greater attention will be
paid to orchard culture, 9hd in a few
years every landowner will have
sufficient fruit on his own place for
home consumption, and the market
will never be without supply. 1t
would be well for parties taking up
land to set aside a small tract at least
for OF, hard purposes and by planting
a choice variety of fruit trees not
only lend additional value to the
premises but when in Aeariag he will
find the satisfaction of having good
fruit ut hand sufficient payment for
the trouble the orchard cost.

After numerous unavoidable and
vexatiOus delays NcGlashan & Ed
wards have at last anchored their
outfit, the Eagle City Nugget, in the
mines, and TIE next copy of that bril-
liant and pioneer sheet will be issued
from Eagle City. On account Of be-
ing compelled to await the shipment
of n press from the east, the boys
have been under the necessity Of
printing their paper in this city and
carrying it into the camp. They
have worked hard to meet the re-
quirements of the new settlement,
and no one can deny that they have
given a bright, newsy sheet. We
hope the gentlemen will make for
tune in the mines, us their enterprise
deserves a rich reward.

Mr.. Hamilton, the well known and
genial proprietor Of the Western HoN
tel, owns, it is safe to affirm, the
most wonderful dog on this slope.
Old "Shep's" intelligence is almost
human. As an instance of his su-
periOr sagacity, last Thursday night
wandering journalist, who had not
seen old "Shep" for over two years,
went to the Western to secure a bed
for the night. Recognizing in Mr..
H. an old friend, the journalist and
host clasped hands in friendly greet
ing. Scarcely a minute elapsed, ere
"Shep" rose from the floor, where
he was enjoying his siesta, wagged
his tail, elevated his ears, and
stretched out his front paw, which
the journalist warmly shook. All
present commented on this unusual
proceeding on the part Of the animal.
The literary man considers it an
omen Of good luck, as he is bound
for the new FL Dorado, it being
nearly quarter of a century ago
since he first delved for gold in an
other hemisphere.

NJ. c. OConner has just returned
from the mines where he spent sew
eral weeks and was not idle during
his stay, as he secured some very
valuable mining property. Among
Others he secured a choice placer
claim which he is desirOus Of either
selling for cash or trading for town
property. By actual prospect tbs
claim has yielded from eight cehts
to 81 50 to the pan, and as it is locAt-
ed close to some OF the best paying
claims on the river, it is considered
exceedingly valuable. Any ona de-
sirous Of investing can learn full par
ticulirs from Mr.. Deuber, who acts
as Mr.. O'Conner's agent during that
Party's temporary absence from the

1t is recommended to the several

ries on Saturday, April 10, 1884,
Mt two O'clock 2. NJ, to select dele
gates to this Convention and it is
the earnest wish of the Committee
that Il full convention be had, as the
business before the convention is Of
great impoltlnce.
Owing to the lateness Of the day
in which the call from the Territorial
Committee is received by telegraph,
the Chairman of the Committee
feels compelled to act, not having
time to convene the committee.
Many reside at a great distance and
the time is too short for proper puhli-
cation OF notices in the papers, hence
the action of the chairman in acting
for the whole committee.

NEW YORK, December Ell. w.
Catherine, master of the steamer Chatta-
poochec, makes the following statement:
About 2:30 p. m December &c, fifteen
miles north of the Winter quarters of the
light ship, 1 sighted a three masted
schooner under closed reefed main and
mizzen sails, ensign. Union down. 1
bore away for her and the vessel reported
having sprung a leak, the crew wished to
be taken of. They said their boat was
stove. | then placed the steamer in such
a position as TO shelter the schooner az
possible, and lowered a boat in charge of
my second officer. The boat returned in
about an hour failing to rescue any of the
schooner's crew because of the high sea,
which prevented it getting along side.
The second officer had received injuries in
the boat which made it impossible for him
again to attempt the rescue. Another
boat crew volunteered to make n second
attempt They were supplied with
life buoys and lines and after
several attempts succeeded in getting a
life buoy on the schooner. The first
mate of the schooner secured himself to
the buoy. jumped overheard and was
picked up by the life boat. The life
buoys were nov broken and useless as 1t
was impossible to get very neal the
schooner on account of the severe gale
and high sea. AS night was setting in
with rain and sleet and increasing wind,
which was drifting the ship into shallow
water. l was compelled for the safety of
my W vessel, passengers and crew to
abandon the schooner and was forced very
reluctantly to put my ship to sea. The
name of the Inflated schooner was the
Ario Pardee. She was loaded with &C.
ment for Philadelphia. The schooner
and the remainder of the crew, four men,
were probably lost.

From the Detroit Free Press.
The real, solemn fact is that nobody,
man or woman. statesman or tramp, can
strike an'icy spot in public and go cavort-
ing around to bring up with a crash on
the fagstones without feeling more or less
poisoned against the whole world. AT
such a time any words of consolation you
may offer are like cranberry sauce offered
to a man with the lock jaw.
Yesterday as a woman of 80 years and
$50 pounds was passing the City Hall she
struck the spot which had been looking
for her ever since the first freeze-up. An
exclamation of astonishment was followed
by Il yell of alarm, and while she was
wondering what made the sidewalk bob
around 80 she sat down in four Paris
styles Close behind her was a philan
thropist, and as he rushed to her assis-
lance he said:
Never mind, MA lam. The day is
coming when everybody will be provided
with air-cushions. and a fall will make
our porous plasters stick the tighter. AL
low me to send a messenger for a derrick
to hoist you On your pins again"
She refused his offer, and after a strug-
gle reached her feet. Then she seized
the fence with one hand, and waving the
other in the air she screamed out;
Air cushionsl Dericksl Pinsl Por-
Gus plastersl you old bow-legged, bald
headed bean-pole, if my husband doesn't
hunt you down and make you eat your
ears l won't live with him another day.
