Last spring That venerable but perennial
periodical, Youths Companion, offered prizes
OF $500 and $3.50 for the first and second best
boys, girls, humorous and adventurous
stories,
These prizes nave now been awarded. 1t
Is curious 10 note the distribution Of the
authors. Two live in Denver. Colo, one
each in Indiana, Maine, Connecticut, Mon
treal and London. while one halls from this
city, MIR. Frank r. Stockton, who, it is need
less to say, gets the first prize for humor.
1t will thus be seen that the west supplies
the larger number Of prize winners. This Is
not surprising tn any one who has watched
the intellectual growth of that section. For
example, it may be- said that that admirably
well-edited periodical, The Chicago Current,
prints a list OF over $50 writers who ave
contributed to its two volumes, and OF these,
probably ~ per cent. are w~esterners, whose
work has not been seen elsewhere, though it
compares well with any eastern periodical.
But the most surprising thing about The
Youths Companion is that no less than 1000
manuscripts were sent in for competition
This means that one In every 5000 OF the
grown men and women Of this country. or
nearly that proportion, have entered tho
field of authorship. Surely no one can say
that money reward does not stimulate liter
airy production, il IL does not develop genius.
The figures are still more surprising when
it is considered that even the most widely
circulated periodical reaches only a limited
number Of people. Other competitions of a
similar character are ygoing ON now which
engage the literary ability OF other thous-
and, and it would be idle 10 at
tempt to enumerate the thousands OF
volunteer contributions to the newspapers.
Probably, If the figures could be reached, it
would be found that ono person In every
dozen Is or has been seized with a desire to
perpetuate his or her thoughts in type With
such a literary instinct as this planted in the
people there is little need for bewailing the
future OF American authorship, as SO many
barnacle-eyed critics do. When our Shake
speare is wanted he will come, and it is
likely from the rowdy west.

Fresh Notes From Crock County.

Fresh Notes From Crock County.
From the sundance Gazette.
The snow is about one-third as deep
here as il is around Spear6sh. We have
had two Chinook winds that did not reach
that country.
Cattle around on the fats are beginning
to feel the effects Of the late continued
cold weather, A few of the very poor
through" ones are already dying.
The mild, open winter prophesied SO
freely last fall, failed to materialize. The
weather lately has been atrociously cold,
accompanied by driving snow storms.
There will be more than twenty houses
erected in this place early in the spring,
and every business will be well represented
early in the summer.
The assessable property of Crook coun-
ty will probably reach a valuation of 49,
600, 900 at present, and Of course this
amount will constantly increase. Our
county has a bright future before it, if
we will only make it so.

Deacon Jones is a truly good man While
the minister is preaching or praying he fro
quently signifies his approval by sounding
the word amen" when any sentiment strikes
him as being pertinent or appropriate, and
occasionally when there is no particular call
for it
Last Sunday the minister, who is somewhat
prolix and prosy, was struggling with a
prayer, which he had stretched out to great
length, the deacon meanwhile encouraging
him with his usual %fervor, when he raised
his voice and said,
@And finally, OIL Lord"
@Amen," sounded the deacon.

Ferry boat Adrift--COwboys Try
ing TO Rope ~, and what Came
OF the Fun.

From the shoshone Journal
Mr.. Henry Snoddy, OF Snake river.
whose ranch is located at Starrh's
Ferry, was in town few days this
week. He reports everything quiet
at the range aud stock all doing first
class. Quite an exciting time occurred
when the fcrryboat went over the
rapids, ten days ago. Thomas Starrh
was crossing the river when the cable
parted, and having no row boat, he
was swept down the river, aud passed
over the rapids with the ierryboat
without injury, and went sailing down
toward Shoshone Falls, some thirty
miles distant. Seeing his peril, Mrs.
Starrh ran to the bank of the river
and alarmed Mr.. Snoddy by her cries
tor help. MIR. 5. was at his stables OF
the opposite side of the river, aud
giving orders to his men to ride down
to the Long ranch on horseback and
get lot of rope, he jumped in Il skiff
and started on a chase for the lost
boat and Mr. Starrh. Nearing the
rapids he was compelled to pull his
boat around. In the meantime Mrs.
a. +. Long, who lives half mile be-
low the ferry, heard the calls for help
and saw the men drifting down the
perilous stream, and supposed her
husband was on the ferry, returning
home from Albion. She also launched
skiH. and heroically attempted to
guide the boat out into the rapid cur
rent. but the eddy whirled the frail
skill around, and fortunately for her,
ii became entangled in some willows
from which MIR. Suoddy's men cxtri-
Gated it and Mrs Long. by this time
Mrs. Snoddy had lost sight of her hus-
band in the other skitf and also came
TO the general rescue, carrying her
little children with her, but ready Ia
brave any danger necessary. The
cOol-hcadcd cowmen soon overhaulcd
the runaway ferryboat, aud, with
their accustomed dcXtcrity, lariatcd
il like wild steer and tied it TO the
land. Mr.. Starrh took the matter
rather cody, and the next day tried tc
pull the boat up the falls to It's place
but the rapid and powerful stream
was greater motor tLan span oi
mules, and in order to save the latter
from being taken down the stream
the ropes were cut and the boat agaii
landed. II viii be rebuilt above thu
rapids. Such are the pcrils of cross

THERE is but one man in Texas who
can break up the pool, and that man
is the governor of the state. Not a
single road in Texas could go into any
sort ola pool if the law and their
charters were consulted. We trust
that Governor Ireland will shake a
little proclamation at them and see
how il works. Texas has been very
liberal TO the roads; liberal in the wav
of lands aud exemptions, and she
ought not now to permit them to
combine to wiring from the people
the last penny possible. AS apolitic
measure the forbiddiDg OF this pool
would be the best which has ever been
