Scientific AMERICAN
The California Architect and Builder
gives the following graphic account of
Che mode adopteI in Nevada for getting
logs TO market. a chute is laid from
the rivers brink up the steep mountain
to the railroad, and while We are telling
it, the monster logs are rushing, thun-
dering, flying, leaping down the de-
clivity. They come with the speed of a
thunderbolt, and somewhat of It's roar.
a track OF fire and smoke follows them

he chute logs. They descend the /, 100
feet of the chute i'll fourteen seconds.
In doing so they drop 200 feet perpcn-
dicularly.
They strike the deep water with re-
port that can lie heard mile distant
Logs fired from a cannon toAld scarcely
have greater velocity than they have
at the foot of the chute Ii" average
velocity is over 100 feet second
throughout tn" entire distance. and at
the instant they leap from the month
their speed must be fully :9J .cct per
second. \ sugar pine log sometimes
weighs ten tons. What missile The

Silence is never more OminOuS than
during battle. Then it means that
batteries are taking new positions, bat
tie lines being chance and new plans
being brought into play. Let the roar
of battle suddenly die away on the right
or left and grim Silcncc take its place,
and those who We're lighting like heroes
IA moment before will turn pale and
tremble.

BIRTHDAY PARTY.-A couple oil
weeks ago Mrs. A. ID. Keller con.
cluded she would make a party in
honor of Mr.. Keller's 32d birty-day,
which occurred or last Friday, Feb.
18th, and she further concluded that
the party should be gotten up all
u~nbeknownst to A. D.-a sort OF
a surprise like. Accordingly she
first visited the print-shop and had
100 invitations printed and sent out,
and then quietly went to work on
the details of the grand success
which crowned her efforts on last
Friday night. Between eight and
nine o'clock on the above evening,
while Mr.. Keller was down town at
tending to some business, from Is
to 100 friends of the worthy couple
assembled at their residence on
Franklin street, and when Mr.. Kel-
Ter returned home and found his
citadel SO completely captured as it
was, he looked just as surprised as
any one could under the circum-
stances, but after fully taking in the
situation, he proceeded, with the
assistance of his excellent lady, to
entertain the company in a most
royal manner. The viands 50 gen.
erously and Hospitality distributed
vas all the most fastidious epicurean
could desire. There were a number
of handsome and elegant presents
bestowed, which amply showed the
appreciation of the guests. The
company parted about twelve o'clock
very highly pleased with the enjoy
ment of the evening and wishing
Mr.. and Mrs. Keller many succeed
ing birthdays as bright and happy
as this one.

Elk Point Silver Cornet
Band have secured the sorui-
ces of a frst-class band instructor,
Mr.. G. w. Whiting, who arrived here
on Monday, and will devote his

SIOUX VALLEY NOTES,

~
EDITOR CouRIER:-Dear sir
The snow that kept possession of
this place for some time is going
fast. But before it went we we're
treated to a sleigh circus in the form
of a peddler with a sleigh and pony.
He went through these parts last
week, and having poor success in
the line of selling his wares, con-
cluded to trade his pony. He met
a customer in this locality whose
name we will give as Nee. Nee.
offered him a male COW for his pony,
and the trade was quickly made and
all things satisfactory. The bovine
was soon hitched to the sleigh and
started out in good republican shape
when about q half mile from his
home Of good corn and hay, and
thinking he was going to see Cleve-
land inaugurated, thought he would
take a parting look. II. & G. was
no go. Durham, sleigh, peddler and
all went into a wire fence. The
vender OF wares prayed for the good
of Dakota. contrary to scripture.
Nee. went to his barn and SAW his
favorite durham standing at the hay
stack looking as if he had jumped
through a store full Of hoop-skirts
with ropes and t~liills attached, but
minus a sled and pedder. Then
came the forlorn hope looking moe
like a BARRIERS sign than a vender of
pins and needles. However, after
some canvassing a ring was found
and put in the animals nose aud
the vender went his way singing the
tune of The Camels are Coming,
oh! dear, oh! dear" &c
Frank Bly, is building a house on
the NE{ of section II. A carpenter
from LeMars, and Frank Wade Of
Sphinx are doing the work. Charley
Millaae is around hunting up a
breaking plow, or one to cook for
the man that holds the pillow.
Francis McConville and Fanny
Moles are enquiring round what a
bedroom set will cost with a stove
and milk pail thrown in. Can't
friend Briggs or Hance Murphey
answer the enquiry. Mr.. = of this
place tells a story of a man skating
35 miles in three minutes. Beat it
who can. If he had not lost a skate
he would have made it in one min
ute.
j. Millage and sister Ida took in
the singing school Saturday eve.
A sleigh load Of young folks Wis
tied the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
l.. Kennedy on Friday evening last.
They wished to bid good-by to that
estimable couple, who leave Mon.
day for Iowa. They report having
a good time. Mr.. K. is taking the
COURIER along to keep him posted.
Joseph Millage says he il not liv-
ing al nazenville-he only want Ia

The Stickney family seems to
have become quite wealthy. Mrs.
Stlckney swears she is worth $1,000
over all debts, liabilities and excmp-
tons, and two of the boys each
swear that he is worth $1,000 clear
of all debts and exemptions. This
is for the purpose of signing the bail
bond of Geo. Stickney. ST., late
county treasurer, in the criminal
actions against him. 1t is all right
enough for members of Mr.. Stick
ney's family to offer themselves MS
bondsmen for him, but it strikes us,
under the circumstances, that the
officer whose duty it is to accept
these bonds, failed to scrutinize them
very close, or he might have detect
ed a color of straw connected there
with. We do not think, however,
that Mr.. Stickney intends to run
away before the converting of the
next term of court, and no
particular harm will be done,
only it shows a rather too loose way
of doing business.
