s SCHEME THAT Is AS BAD As THE
GREEN GOODS GAME.
The New York Herald of Tuesday
contains a two~column exposure Of
the "Transcontinental Tea Compa,
N.Y. which was operating in Lynch
burg, Va, several weeks since and
extensively advertising watches and
diamonds found in tea and coffee. +"
The Herald says that it is nothing
more nor less than q migratory
swlndling concerns large and exS
tensiye bunco shop on wheels. There
are two ofthe concerns, operating on
the ZANE plan, and according to the
Heralfs account they came into coll
lision in that city. Il says:
at sometimes occurs that rival cons
Germs collide, and row Is the re-
suit. At the same time the TraDs-
CONTINENTAL branch was operating
In the South, the Traders was also
'on the road in the same section.
They ran against each other in
Lynchburg, Va. The 'Transcontnen-
tai man said that ne was there first,
and fixed the town, and had a PRIOR
itv. The managers of the Traders
contended that lie had not been
treated fairly; that his rival must
have known that Lynchbufg was on
his route; that be had jumped from
Chattanooga to Lynchbure, and that
as he was the originator and founder
Of this paying line Of business, by
which both concerns shared the
public lambs of their golden fleece,
he was entitled to precedence. The
sTranscontinentap manager refused
10 concede any such right and in the
most positive terms refused to leave
A serious quarrel followed, in the
course Of which the sTranscontinen.
tai people threatened to kick their
rival out Of the town or bust the
whole business. This brought the
other man to his sensts, and he de
parted with his troop to Petersburg,
where he had the further luck TO be
arrested. though he succeeded in
getting off very cheaply."

A Hishlr snccesslnl school.

We clip the following from the
annual report Of the Principals Of
Oak Ridge Institute TO the Board Of
Trustees for the year 1888 The
wonderful progress. and hourishing
condition OF this celebrated School is
we'll shown by the Report:
We deem il best to put our resume
Of the work Of the scholastic year
1878 in the form Of a report adj
dressed to you TO be followed in the
future by similar annual reports.
You remember, that the scholastic
year Of 1878 closed with less than
dozen students and under very dis.
couraging circumstances. IL was
then that the school passed to the
control Of the present management
and opened for the fall session with
| 6 local students occupying the one
room then belonging 10 the school.
Thirteen years have elapsed, during
which time the growth Of the school
has been so unifol mly rapid as 10 as
tonish even those most closely con-
necsed with its interests =
The school has grown from an en-.
rollment of 219. representing five
States, for the past term, from occu.
pying one room in 1875 to the use Of
nine in 1888. The new building
erected within these years Is q source
| of pride TO the faculty, the commu-
nifty and the State. IL Is the finest
private school building In the State
| by all odds. The chapel which seats
something near 1900 Is regarded a.
one Of the best auditoriums in the
State. The Societies have halls
better furnished than most OF The
colleges North or South, the library,
which had no existence In 1876, nov
has nearly 1000 volumes Of well So

and during the past year has beer
considerably increased. A commo'

At Placerville, last Saturday night,
Feb. II, 1888, of cancer of the stom-
ache, Mrs. ]. W. Dawson, aged about
hfty-two years.
Mrs. Dawson had been i'll several
months, and her death was not unex-
pected. She leaves a husband, and
son-Wm. Davison-and daughter,
Mrs. John H. Myer. Mr.. and Mrs.
Dawson arrived in the Basin in 1868
or '64, and first kept hotel in Pio-
neer. From there they moved to
Placerville, where they ran the In
ternational Hotel for probably twen-
ty years. Mrs. Dawson gained the
love and esteem of all who knew her.
The bereaved family have the SYM
pathies of large circle of friends
throughout the county. The funeral
took place yesterday at l o'clock.

to come up for final Congressional ac-

if they had cunningly mixed up bo-
gus dose of alarm, bottled and cork

and given out in doses to suit, late
enough in the day for it to get in its

little of that-just enough to give
the water the appearance of being a
little riley. This sand is mixed all
through the water from its surface to
the bed OF the river, and never drops
to the bed of the river and stops
there as some might suppose. In
California the case is different. The
rivers where mining was carried on
have sufficient fall to carry the debris

overflow their banks, with damage to
agriculture land. A bedrock fume
would benefit Boise City as much as
the Basin, from which the capital has
reaped It's greatest wealth, and will

section If it acts wisely. 1t would

Boise City to kill "the goose that lays
