A Second Smelling Furnace TO be
Built-A New Wagon Road Up the
Salmon.
William RENDER has returned from
a trip to Clayton. He says that the
mines and smelter there give steady
work to about 60 hands, but that
there are fully as many more men
laying around looking for job.
There is talk of building second
furnace, of 60 tons daily capacity
soon, and if this is done fully as many
additional men will be able to secure
employment, besides the. charcoal
burners and teamsters.
There is a movement on foot to
make wagon-road from Clayton to
Chal!is. The towns along the route
have subscribed literally toward the
cost OF making this road; but as ii
will cost from $4,000 to $4,000 the
county will be called on, at this meet
ing of the Board of Commissioners
for a contribution. If the money is
raised work on the road will begin al
once; and as II miles of 1t are in
the mountains a large number o.
laborers will be employed to put il
through.

A GOOD SCHEME.
A Bridge Proposed to be Thrown Across
Snake River Near Starrh'S Ferry.

Snake River Near Starrh's Ferry.
Cassia County Times.l
Stockmen of Cassia county for a
long time have agitated the building
of bridge across Snake river at a
point on the river which would be OF
the most benefit to the most people.
Since the organization of Logan coun-
ty the matter is receiving still more
attention. The Union Pacific railroad
company Is also anxious, and it would
seem to US that it is high time tor the
people of Cassia county to awake
from their lethargy and join the 'hrong
of progression that is threatened Ida
howard during the coming summer.
The merchants of Logan county want
our trade, and the Oregon Short Line
wants to ship our stock, and as an in
ducement to obtain it Logan county
proposes to advance $4,000, the rail-
road company $4,000, and with the
$4,000 that Cassa county is expected
to furnish will complete a good, sub
s,antial and safe bridge. The iron
railroad bridge at American Falls, we
are informed, only cost $4,000
There are places below Starrh's ferry
where bridge, which will answer all
purposes, can be constructed for Sl5,
} 900. OF the $4,000 Cassia county il
: to raise, it is estimated that $4,000 car
be raised By private subscription ant
$4,000 be donated by the county. Thl
, is certainly matter that demands
Y consideration at tho hands of GU
County Commissioners. There are
. number of stockmen and bushes
men at Oakley and in the western
!. part of the county who would willing
= " give from 800 to $500 rather tina
t to be without the bridge. Now is tn
|, time for Cassia county to assert heI
self if she proposes to rank equal
with the progress Of other counties

ORIGIN Of 'uncIe Sam.
Speculation has recently arisen re-
garding the origin Of the term "Uncle
SAM as applied to the United States
government.
In the war OF 1912, between this
country and Great Britain, Ebert
Anderson, OF New York, purchased in
Troy. n. Y, a large amount Of pork tor
the American army.
1t was inspected by Samuel Wilson,
who was popularity known as "Uncle
Sam" The barrels of pork were marked
"E. "A, U. s." the lettering beng done
by a facetious employe Of Mr.. Wilson.
When asked by fellow workmen the
meaning of the mark (for the letters U.
s., for United States, were then almost
entirely new to them) said The did not
know, unless it meant Gilbert Anderson
and Uncle SAM" abiding to Uncle
Sam Wilson.
The joke took among the workmen,
and passed currently, and ''Uncle Sam"
himself being present, was occasionally
rallied on the increasing extent of his
possessions. Soon the incident appeared
in print, and the joke gained favor
rapidly, till il penetrated and was
recognized in every part Of the country,
and, says John Frost, the Boston his
torian, will no doubt continue so while
the United States remains nation.
1t is now firmly imbedded in the
Mosaic OF our language, like "Tippe~
canoe, ""Log Cabin" and other short
but expressive phrases, which refer to
important events in the history of the
Republic. Both ''Tippecanoe' and
"I4og Cabin" have taken Oh renewed
force and vitality since their adoption
by Hon. Fl. HI, Warner, of Safe Cure
fame, il, the naming of two Of his great
standard remedies, the principal one
known as Warmers Log Cabin Sarsapa-
rilla. They are based upon formIl4 50
successfully used by our ancestors in
the cure of the common ailments to
which their arduous labors rendered
them liable in the good old Log Cabin
days.
The name Of Warmers Safe Cure,
likewise, will be held in high esteem, as
familiar as household word, while it
continues to cure the worst forms OF
Kidney Disease, which the medical pro-
fessjon confesses itself unable to do.

Perseverance and Pluck

1t is the steady workman who COM
mands the best wages, the man who
keeps at it. Newton kept at it for
three years until he discovered the
principle of gravitation, and Kepler
was nearly lifetime in working out
his three laws of the universe. Morse
kept at it with the electric telegraph
until he turned failure into success
aud Edison kept at it until he turned
the monograph from a toy into a
worlds wonder.
Success is rarely matter of acct
dent. Spirit and pluck always achieve
great results. There is no such thing
as luck.
Luck !" said Wellington, Il make
luck !"
Darwin was rarely able to work long
at time. He accomplished his great
work by having a single aim, and put
ting every ounce of his force and every
hour of his time into the task which
he had set before him.
He never scattered his energy, he
never wasted an hour, and by steadily
keeping at it, in spite of continual i'll
health and of long intervals of semi
invalidisms, he did great work, and
has left the impression upon the world
of man Of extraordinary energy and
working capacity.

A Drummer's Smart Game

A short time ago drummer from
abroad called at Bangor livery stable
and wanted double team for a ten
days trip into the country, and the
stableman refused to let him one on
the ground that he was a stranger.
There was much discussion over the
matter, and finally the drummer said:
"What is your team worth p
"Four hundred and fifty dollars,
was the answer.
eff | pay you that sum for it, will
you buy it back again when | return ?
asked the customer, and upon receiv
ing an affirmative reply, he promptly
put up the cash. Ten days later he
returned and, driving into the stable
he alightcd and entered the Office, say
ing, well, here is your team, and now
| want my money back"
The sum was passed to him, and he
turned and was leaving the place
when the livery man called out, "Look
here, aren't you going to settle for that
team?"
"For what team?" asked the drum
mer in surprised tone.
"For the one you just brought back.

my own property, are you ?" and be

Faithful in Little Things.

"This," said Deacon Hays, "is pro.
badly the last ship | shall ever build,
and intend to have her as perfect as
possible"
So he selected a beautiful model,
and, knowing that the owner wanted
something superior, he spared no time
or money in procuring the best timber
to be had, and the best workmen to be
found and then be watched over
every stick as it was hewn and fitted
in its place, every plank that was
spiked on the timbers, every spar that
was prepared. When they came to
put the copper sheathing over the
bottom Of the ship, the deacon watched
it very closely, At one spot he found
the head of copper nail, which fas-
tened the sheatbing, slip. The dea-
cons eyes were becoming rather poor,
but he saw the broken head. "Jim
Spiker, | see nail broken isn't there
little hole by its side p
mot bit of it, l am sartin. There
couldn't drop Of water get in there
in a century"
So the word of Jim was accepted
the ship was finished and launched,
and made two or three prosperous
voyages. During one of these she lay
at a wharf in Calcutta. Now, these
waters swarm with that little pest, the
shipworm. They crawled all over the
ship, but could not get through the
copper sheathing. At length Mrs
Teredo lit upon the broken nail. found
the little hole and squeezed herself in
Then she began to eat the timber and
lay her eggs in it. Soon they hatched
and increased, till that timber was
full of little teredos, and then the next
and the next, till every stick in the
whole ship was badly worm-eaten
Still the ship looked sound, sailed we'll
and made her long voyage. At length,
when in the middle of the great ocean,
terrible storm met her. The wind
howled through the rigging as if sing
ing a funeral dirge. The waves rolled
up, ana Wrlthed as II III agony. Every
spar was bent, and every timber and
spike strained to the utmost The
cargo which filed the ship was of i'm.
mense value. The crew was large,
and the passengers were many. Worse
and worse grew the storm, till at last
huge wave struck her with all its
power The ship staggered, groaned
once, and crumbled up like a piece of
paper. She foundered at sea, in the
dark night, in that awful storm. The
rich cargo all went to the bottom of
the ocean. The drowned men and
women sank down, down, miles before
they rested on the bottom. All done
through the neglect OF Jim Spiker,
who was too untaithful to mend the
hole made by the broken nail.
