PRETTY SPRING FABRTcs.-Although
still early in the season to be think
ing of wearing apparel for the warm
months OF the year, the spring shop
ping is well under way, and during
the quiet of the Lenten season the
women find a breathing space to de-
vote to the selections of dresses and
gowns. The craze is for something
new, and many who would otherwise
wait for a more seasonable time to
purchase Spring Fabrics are hasten
ing to examine the stock of goods
for fear it will be "picked over and
robbed of its choicest and rarest
treasures. We have spent much
tfne and labor in buying our Spring
FDress Goods, in order to get the
very latest styles at the right prices.
We have lovely variety of Robes
in the new shades and colorings.

Is SNAKE RIVER NAyIGABLE!
Suit Against the Union Pacific 10 Com.
pei Building Draw Bridg~s.

pei Building Draw Bridg~s.
The Caldwell, Idaho, Tribune states
that a novel and interesting contest
between the Union Pacific railroad
on one side and Williams Bros, of
Nyassa, on the other, has been dis.
turbing the placid waters Of the
mighty Snake river for some time, and
will be likely to continue until the
United States supreme court pours it's
never failing bslm upon the troubled
waters. The trouble is nothing more
or less than a suit against the railroad
company ty Williams Bros, citing
them to show cause why draws should
not be put in railroad bridges over
Snake river. Within the last two
years Williams Bros. built a large
steam mini,g boat at N>assa, a point
on the Short Line between two of the
bridges, and fitted it up with neces-
sary machinery for working large
quantities OF the gold bearing gravel
that IS deposited along the banks Of
the river. For awhile everything
went off nicely. Their method Of
handling the -four gold was success
and dividends from the venture were
rs regular rs the rising Of the sun.
Whenever the boa, was anchored and
the machinery put in motion, the de-
ceptive flour gold that had eludcd so
many former attempts at captur',
found itself ut last in the "strong box"
safely stored away in the hold OF the
staunch little craft. So far the sail
ing was good, but breakers were
ahead; the sho't strip of river be
tween the two bridges was soon
worked out, and the boat on account
Of the low bridges was unable to ga
.ither up or down in search Of new
gravel beds to conquer. But Captain
Williams wits did not desert him in
the emergency for one fine morning
he raised anchor from the fair Oregon
shores, turned the Prov OF the Cola
Seeker up the current, and when near
the railroad bridge near &. w. Paul's
gave three long whistles for "draw
bridge" f3e was not ut all surprised
when the bridge dill net "draw," bu,
coolly turned into tn" bank, dropped
anchor and waited for the railroad
company to Scalp him In the mean.
time the company made an inve.ti
CATION, and found that it would cos,
100000 to put in the draws, and
came to the conclusion that the Snake
was not II naviyable river, and tina,
their charter did not recognize it a.
such. This was Il pretty good bluff
but Captain Williams did not finch
he steamed up the next morning
boldly headed up the river aud seair
whistled for "draw bridge" This
course hc has pursued ever since. i,
the meantime he has commenced suit
against the company for damages, and
has engaged the leading attorney Of
Oregon to manage his case. The out
come of the case viii he awaited with
cons derahle interest by the people OF
Western Idaho and Eastern Oregon.

tains a paper on the Life and Writings

it appears. lived through seventeen diff
ferent lives as scholar and official, al
though the records of only nine lives
now exist, the remaining eight never
having been preserved. in his own per-
son he completed the perfection Of the
three religions Of China. One of his
works contains a chapter on ghosts and
men. of which the following is the sub
stance: "A ghost is the corrupt part Of
man, and man is the pure part Of a ghost.
a man can be ghost, and a ghost can
be man. The man and the ghost are
mutually related; why separate man and
ghosty The ghost becomes man; then
man must become a ghost.
If man does not become a ghost. he
will surely be able to perfect manhood.
It is difficult for a ghost to become a
man, because it has fallen to ghosthood
and because it has Lost manhood. A
man Is ghost; a ghost is man. But
all men are not ghosts; neither is every
ghost a man" 1t appears, also. that it
is possible, although difficult, for a man
to escape becoming ghost. This is how
1t can be done; "Those who can be re-.
spectiul without feeling ashamed, who
can be submissive without deception.
who can obey to perfection the rule of
life and are able to preserve their nat
