The Soda Springs.

There is perhaps nothing in the west
ern part of America that has elected
more profound wonder from visitors to
natural curiosities than the we'll known
Soda Springs, on the line of the O. ST..
railroad The springs are in Mormon
territory, and it is perhaps owing to
this sad fact that they have for years
been kept from the inevitable populari-
ty that has made the Yellowstone Park
already famous. The Soda Springs diff
fer from the common run of mineral
springs, and especially hot springs, in
the Rocky mountains, in as much as
their water comes from an entirely dis
tinct formation; a soda formation that
is peculiar to that locality. Immediate
ly about the springs are various curios-
tiles to attract the visitors interest,
among which are fume or gas vents in
the ground about the size of mans
wrist. From these a peculiar gaseous
emission is constant, and if inhaled is
very obnoxious. In fact, death has been
caused in several instances by an acct
dental condition in which persons were
compelled to inhale an over portion of
/ the gas coming from the water. The
soda water, it is remarkably discovered
I is. when cool, a very excellent drink and
tonic and is pronounced far superior to
any of the finest favored soda waters.
The water, while warm is universally
used by the settlers for culinary and
/ baking purposes, and is a very superior
substitute for yeast powders and sodas
| Bread and biscuits baked from simply
-four and no other admixtHre but the
pure soda water are pronounced simply
par excellence.
The numerous useful and marvellous
properties of the water from the springs
are accompanied by a very romantic anG
4 picturesque valley and mountain view
surrounding the spot, all of which con
tribute to give it world famous desti

A good joke is told of pioneer in Ida
no City named Barry. Barry was Il we'll
to-do merchant in those days and con-
Guiding to occupy advertising space in
copy to Ike Bowman with the air of an
old newspaper patron. He was some
what concited, but little rusty" and
when asked how long he wanted the adj.
to run thought he would show his
knowledge of printers signs, and an
swered, "Oh, DIN it, mark it If. The
ad was marked 'stf," and nothing more
being said Mr.. Barry happened to think
at the end of little more than a year that
he was owing a small account for O
months advertising and called for the
bill. Mr.. Bowman handed him bill
for one years advertising, amounting
to $3.50, $40 more than he expected.
He was temporarily dumbfounded, but
his attention was called to the command
to mark it s'tf," and Il full explanation
rendered. Mr.. Barry's pride was con-
siderably wounded, or in other words
his conceit was pulled down peg or
two when he found legal Indebtedness
of $3.50 for what he had supposed was
one month advertising on small scale.
He made moderate skiek" and paid
the bill. TWAS high tpriced) education.

THE MONDAY.
A One Fourth Interest Sold by A. e..
Bcmis to Frank Il. Foote, OF Salt
Lake for $40, ZOO Cash.

The one-fourth interest in the Noon
day mine owned by Mr.. A. G. Bemis, of
this place. has been sold to Frank E.
Foote, of Salt Lake city, fora cash consid-
Grafton of $40, 900. The money was paid
over at this place yesterday, and the
sale thus contaminated
The MONDAY mining property in
cludes the MONDAY, Badger and Juni-
eta mines. In disposing Of one fourth
the former, Mr.. Bemiss interest of one
sixth in the Badger and one-ninth in
the Junietta were also included in the
sale.
The MONDAY property is located on
Elkhorn Hill, about three miles east OF
Ketchum. The main works of the mine
are perhaps five hundred feet above the
level Of Wood River, and the course OF
the lead is northeast and south west
The vein is continuation OF the famous
Elkhorn, and it's ore is high grade gale
ma and profitable carbonates. This
MONDAY was one of the heaviest ship
pers to the Philadelphia smelters in thu
| year 1888. The Badger and Junietti
claims are bright prospects that bid fail
to become important next season as orr
producers.

The Alturas Literary Society.

The Alturas Literary Society pro-
gramme was rendered to q crowded
house last night and pronounced I'M
usually attractive. The debate on the
question, Resolved, That women
should have the electoral franchise
was the prime feature OF the evening
and succeeded in holding the audience
admirably. The opening by Mrs. Baker
showed that lady possessor of more than
ordinary talent, and her elocutionary
powers were especially fine. Mrs,
Richie, leading on the negative pro
duced some good wit and few of the
strongest arguments on her side. Mr..
Jones, second on the affirmative, made
for his leading argument this: .'Shall
our mothers and sisters be put beneath
the leavel OF negroes and naturalized
! Cinnamon who are entitled to voter
Mr.. Hill, his opponent, arose with q
| twinkle of confidence III his eye and
cutely answered this seeming tdeadner"
as follows: "Shall our mothers and sis
tiers go to the poles with a lot Of heather
| Chinawomen and negro wenchesw The
house keenly applauded the sharp sight
/ edness of Mr.. Hills retort and Numbered
with applause. Certainly if one woman
is entitled to vote the whole ofwoman-
kind is. Mr.. Hills argument was per-
haps the best on the subject. Among
other dangers that would be the natural
\ outgrowth of woman's rights, he men
toned that of a wife being locked up
for "a hours with q dozen strange jury
men; rearing the rising generation on
bottles; the political rivalry instead OF
compaionslip between man and wife;
the equality with man III which women
would be subject to degeneration in q
moral and spiritual view; the indiyid
ual taxes they would be compelled tc
pay OF suffer the penalty Of hard Labor
or imprisonment. Both sides made
good stands and the debate was decided
by three judges, two of whom were
women, in favor of the affirmative. The
audience, however, as Will be seen in an
other column stood by large majority
i'll favor of the negative.

lures of interest were too numerous Il
