Telegraph Line COMPLETED,

Frank AXE, the contractor for
placing the poles and wire from
Mountain Home to Rocky Bar, re-
turned here Wednesday night. AT
ter 81 days hard work for himself
and eight men, he reached Rocky
Bar last Monday at II O clock. For
seven days they worked in frozen
ground and their progress was con-
sequently slow. When they reached
the Wide West mill superintendent
Bert Smith entertained Frank and
his party in royal style, which is
highly appreciated by the boys.
Thursday morning Mr.. AXE was
busy arranging for a temporary Of
fee in Mountain Home. He Sc
cured an Office at the Turner House,
and stretching the wires to that
place and after arranging the proper
instruments Frank Brownell took
the keys and about two o'clock in
the afternoon informed the Rocky
Bar people that this end of the line
was ready for business. All that
afternoon the key was kept in con-
slant motion by the Bar folks trans
hitting business messages over the
line. So far the line has worked

CHRISTMAS was a merry day in
Ketchum-the sleighing was ex-
cellent, the weather bright and sun
ny, and so decidedly pleasant that
Baxter could be seen enjoying the
sunshine upon the porch Of his
hotel in his shirt sleeves. But we
refrain from making any further
remarks upon the weather for the
time being Our old-tilne prognOs-
ticators are out of town and we will
therefore postpone any further
comment.

It was suggested to Senator

It was suggested to Senator
Stanford few days since that it
was within the range of possible
ties that he would be invited to a
seat in Harrison's cabinet. He re-
piled in very emphatic manner
that he would not accept any such
position. Mr.. Stanford answered,
however, "That the people of the
Pacific coast require some repre-
sentation in the cabinet, and they
expect to be considered in that con-
nection. A memorial to that effect
signed by the leading men of the
Pacific slope has been presented to
General Harrison"
The House committee on terri

Senator Cullom has been sued
for $4,000 damages by the admin
istrator of the estate of the late
Prof. E. c. Paul, the suit growing
out Of the death of Prof. Paul, who
was ridden down and fatally injured
by the negro coachman in the en-
ploy of Senator Cullum.
]. B. Haggin, of California, pur-
chased "Proctor Knott, the famous
two-year-old gelding, in Lexington,
KY, short time since. The price
was $4,000, the highest ever paid
for two-year-old, and the highest
for gelding Of any age.
The latest thing in trusts is the
formation Of a watermelon trust.
At meeting of watermelon raisers
in South Carolina, few days since,
representing the production of two
million melons, they decided to
form a trust, to limit the acreage,
fix prices and establish It's own
agencies in the principle cities.

There seems literally to be no

| A million dollars was put up in
New York last week to back the
faith of a large number of men in
the utilization of the discovery
which Prof. Friend left to posterity.
The company is composed mostly
of Englishmen. They claim to be
able to take any grade of sugar
and by passing it through a process
to turn it into the highest grade OF
refined sugar without the loss of
one per cent of saccharine matter.
If they are successful it will revo-
lutionize the sugar trade.

A GOOD INVESTMENT.

When w. H. Seward gave seven
and half millions to Russia for
Alaska he made a good investment
for tht United States. If the reve-
nue. which the seal trade Of the ter
ritory brings the government was
capitalized, it would amount to
$6O,OOO,0OO. Governor Swineford,
in his latest report gives an inter-
esting description of the extent and
resources Of the territory. The
length of Alaska's coast line is
1921 miles more than double the
extent of the balance of the Pacific
coast and the whole of the Atlantic
coast put together A single island
Of the many belonging to Alaska is
estimated to possess in precious
metals more than enough to pay
the total debt of the national gov
eminent. The market value of the
fish caught in Alaskan waters the
last year amounted to $4,000, 900.
In the deep waters of Behring Sea
the supply of food fish is inexhaust-
IDLE, and varieties heretofore un-
known are frequently discovered.
The total population of the terrific
ry is about 49,8OO souls, of whom
$4,000 are natives, $500 are whites
and the rest are Aleutians. Over
this population, according to Gov
ernor Swineford, the Alaska Com
mercial Company holds unbounded
sway, treating the natives as if they
were slaves. Though the climate
is healthy and the soil fertile, there
is little or no farming, which Gov.
Swineford attributes to the insecu-
rity of land titles. The placer min
ers are reaping rich rewards. AS
for coal mining, there is enough
coal in Alaska to supply the whole
country for centuries to come.

Ayers Almanac

We have long known that Ayers
Almanac and Ayers remedies were
household words wherever the Eng
fish language is spoken, but did
not realize that they were heard in
almost every country on the globe
until we received a neatly bound
book containing the Almanac for
1889 printed in ten different tongues.
Ayers Almanac was first issued in
1852 in the English language only,
but now it appears in French, Ger
man, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese,
Norwegian, Swedish, Welsh and
Bohemian, in editions adapted to
local use in various portions of the
globe. In the preface of this dainty
volume of Almanacs it is stated
that the yearly issue varies from
thirteen to fourteen million copies,
and that it is used as text book
on astronomical subjects, on &C
count of its accuracy, and lecturers
on astronomy distribute copies
among their audiences. Of course
the advertisements of the various
and reliable standard medicines,
occupy prominent place, yet there
is a large fund of valuable informa-
ton besides contained within its
yellow covers. It is in fact the
only "yellow-covered" literature to
which mothers never object. Al
the drugstores are supplied with
Ayers Almanacs in their familiar
form, and are happy to give them
to their customers.

A Spectral Jack Train.

Leadville Herald-Democrat.
My companion then spoke concerning
our mission to this bleak and barren
spot. 'About twelve years ago." he
said, ''an old man by the name of
Cearnals was the proprietor of a jack
train, with which he used to bring pro-
visions and other commodities into that
mining camp which you see beneath
you there.
This was before the railroads en-
tered the Businesses of these mountains,
and everything was brought by mule
teams or by these jack trains into the
camp.
1.-The treasures which were found in
the hills were carried ont the same way.
One time old man CearnalS did not az
winter-and the coolest one, too, ever
experienced in these hills. A search
ing party was sent out to find
him and his train, as thepeOple who had
goods consigned to him feared that
some accident had befallen him. Near
where we are now is where he and his
train were found in snOwdrift. frozen
to death. And now each night may be
seen the jack train just as they were,
but in the form of SpecterS filing along
on their way to camp. Get out and we
will go down the trail piece and see
them"
We got out of the buggy and, after
fastening the horse to a Stunted pine,
we descended on the other side of the
range on the road to Alma.
After most perilOuS and tOrtuOuS
walk of half an hour, OH account of the
slippery condition of the ground, which
was covered with snow, my companion
led me to a point near the old Leadville
trail, which could be distinctly seen
above us against the side of the noun
tain. Looking at his watch, he re-
marked that it was almost time for
them to appear.
After kicking the snow from couple
of powders we sat down, and in silence
awaited developments. My companion
would not say word. but simply puffed
away at cigar. his looks being cast in
the direction OF the trail. We waited at
least half an hour, but it seemed week
to me, cold wind having arisen, and |
was almost frozen and was wishing my
self at home. Suddenly my companion
clutched me by the arm and pointed to
the trail. The sight l saw made each
individual hair on my head stand Oh
end: for there, on the trail, coming
around sharp angle caused by bowl
der, was jack train of twenty-three
dlllndlS. lnoy all emitted RANT pnOS-
phOrescent glow, which made them ap-
pear all the more vivid against the side
of the hill.
They were loaded with different arti-
cleS of merchandise, and the last one,
which the spectral driver was urging on
with his short gOad, seemed to be loaded
with flour.
Every once in a while. as the train
slowly filed along. this last jack would
lean his load against projecting rock
as if resting himself. This would cause
the driver to punch it with his short
stick. The weird specters slowly passed
from view around the hill, and, more
dead than alive from fright, we made
our way to where we had left the horse
and buggy.
My companion informed me while on
our way back to the city that this
strange sight could be seen any dark
night.

Gems and Their Omens.

Popular Science Monthly.
In the fourteenth century a fanciful
Italian writer on the mystic art set
forth the virtues of the various gems,
indicating also the month in which it
was proper to wear particular stones in
order to secure the best result! The
idea took, and for some time it was the
fashion in several Italian cities to have
the precious stone of the ring deter
mined by the month in which the bride
was born.
If in January, the stone was garnet
believed to have the power of winning
the wearer friends wherever she went
If in February, her ring was set with
an amethyst, which not only promoted

A NICE ADVOCATE.

The eternal fitness of things is
illustrated by the fact that Dan
Voorhees,, the rank of Copperhead
and leader of the knights of the
Golden Circle, appealed to Union
veterans in Indiana to support the
man who sneaked behind his desk
in Buffalo and sent n substitute to
the war, and who, when president
of the United States, slapped every
veteran in the face with his rebel
flag order, and insulted the armies
of the republic hundred times over
by the language Of his pension
vetoes. A nice advocate for a nice
client. Voorhees, better go south of
Mason and DiXon's line and talk to
the other sort of soldiers about Cleve-
land although, to tell the truth, they
have quite as much contempt for a
Northern doughface and coward as
have the soldiers of the armies of
Grant and Sherman, and Sheridan
and Harrison.
