A DRAWBACK.
Through restrictive legislation the chief

inexperienced officers to the duties Of tax.

ter, General Greely, In his report for 1887,
says: 1T has been a subject for complaint
that the indications have not improved to
the extent expected, and since the state
ment has been officially put forth that the
indications are made by the
same officers who have made them
for years, it is presumed that the
public labors under the same misappre.
hension. Such is not the fact, as within
the past three or four years the relief of
the old officers detailed from the line of
signal officers by Legislative action. In
consequence, it followed that the young Of
ficers of the signal corps, who have only
within the past year or two received any
extended instruction in meteorology, have
been assigned to this Important
duty. Within the past three years officers
have necessarily been assigned to indica-
tions work who never before have per-
formed duty of this character. 1t conse-
quently follows that through restrictive
legislation the chief signal officer finds
himself compelled to permit the new Off
GERS to serve their apprenticeship in pre-
dieting at the expense of the whole coun-
try"

full forecasts of cold waves is probably the
greatest in the great Northwest The
term cold wave means that the tempera-
ture will fall below forty.fve degrees, and
that an abnormal fall of fifteen or more
degrees will occur within twenty-four
hours. The chief signal officer says:
THE important advantages which result
from knowing sixteen to twenty-four hours
In advance that the temperature will be
lower by fifteen degrees or more, apply
not only to agricultural, horticultural and
business interests, but also affects the

THE INDUSTRIOUS INHABITANTS.
A great number of the inhabitants in
and around the little mining village Of
Cheweach are half-breeds, who seem to
be an industrious class, possessing fine
productive farms and fat stock.
But, alas! there Is an end to all things,
and 80 there was to our free aud easy lite

mountain glades or rambled through the
woodlands we were reminded by the red
and gold of the autumn leaves softly fall
ing down to earth that the summer tide
had passed; and the chill winds sweeping
down the mountain gorges suggested the
comforts of home and tireside.
HoMEwARD BOUND.
Our preparations for departure were
quickly made. The old tent was snugly
packed on the back of Little Dick,
when once more we gathered around the
camp table and partook of our last meal in
the mountains. The last visit was made
to the cool, shady spring; the last final
farewell view of the pretty lakelet was
taken, and we turned our faces homeward
bound, leaving the little valley in silence
and to the sole occupancy of prowling
"varmints," who no doubt made the
welkin ring when the night shades fell
without anything to hinder them from
feeding on the bones and table debris ut

COLONEL GRANT ON sAKroRIs.
He Denounces the silly Lies Abor<FNellie
Grants English Husband.
IN. Y. Graphic.l


"Will Mrs. Sartoris visit Mrs. Grant this
year. Colone?" asked Graphic reporter
of Colonel Fred Grant when he met the
latter at luncheon at the Astor house the
other day. The inquiry was not made for
an interviewing purpose, but in spirit OF
friendliness.
Colonel Grant shook his head silently
and regretfully. He never looked in bet
ter health and spirits than he is looking
now. His eye is bright, his color fresh,
his step brisk, and his frank cordiality
unabated. He paused thoughtfully for a
moment after his negative answer, and
then said
"Mrs. Satoris will not come this year to
see her mother for the same reason that
she refused to come over last year. She
has been so hurt by the malicious false
hoods concerning her unfriendly relations
with her husband printed in some of the
newspapers that she will not expose her
self to a repetition of such reports They
are wholly without foundation, and yet
her visits here seem always to invite
them. This naturally grieves my mother,
as it is impossible for her to 90 to Eng
land. | think if the newspapers realized
the grief they caused by such wanton
publications they wouldn't print them"
"Of course not, and wouldn't it be q
good idea to print this denial?" suggested
the reporter.
"I think 1t would" assented Colonel
Grant, and then he continued: "Algernon
Sartoris is one of the best of husbands. He
is good business man, in exceptionally
good circumstances. and altogether a
model brother.in-law. No members of
his wife's family have ever regarded him
in any but the friendliest way, and my
father especially liked and respected him.
The story that my sister was unhappy in
her marriage originated fully ten years
ago from some unknown and doubtless
malicious source, and it has been ieno-
rantly repeated in the newspapers ever
since. Doubtless it is fully believed, for
it is difficult to correct an anonymous
slander."
MRS. Sartoris would revisit this coun-
try, then, If she could be certain that the
reasons for her visit would not be misin-

He had been in the habit of playing tru-

But he was caught one day and brought
before the teacher.

"You go right home and get note

verely."
He went of and was gone about ten
minutes. 1t was pretty quick work, and
when he handed the note to the teacher
she thought that the handwriting did not
look altogether like his mothers. She
kept her eye on him as she opened the
note, but he was as bland and as innocent
as the best boy in the world. The note
read:

a suggestion enters the mind of any
Democrat here, let me say to him that
the best way to avoid any possible
influence which the decision Of this
case may have upon a Presidential
election, Is to so comport ourselves in
the discharge of our duties that no
Presidential election will ever come
into this House, but that the votes of
the people will decide in favor of that

that ought to win the confidence of

THE HUB MINE ORES,
Why Should they Not Come Here 70
Sampling and Sale?

Colonel Ballentine, who is one oil
the owners of the Hub nine, neal
Era, says that the ore of that district
is shipped to the Viola company's
smelter at Nichola because better
figures are obtained there than Oh
Wood River. The cost of handling
$50 per ton is the same to Mich
Ola as to Wood River, the distance
to either point being 80 miles; the
difference in favor Of Nicholia must
therefore be in the smelling and as
saying charges. There Is possibly "a
slight difference in freight rates, bu,
that does not cut much figure in the
general result.
There is in this, it seems to US,
food for grave reflection by our samp
ling, smelling and business men. II
the ore of the Lead Belt and the ad
joining camps gets to going to Mich
Ola, all the business of that region
will follow, as it will of course b.
more advantageous to shippers and
freighters to haul ore out and supplies
in than to haul ere in one direction
and supplies from another.
The region about Lava creek and
Lost River promises to show up some
big mines; and it behooves US to en-
deavor to secure their business, ii
we can.
