are certainly obscure, and at present
we can only surmise what they may
be. We suspect that the cause exists
in the individual poisoned, some
popularity of the constitution
producing a morbid change in the
secretions Of the stomach, with which
the alum combines and forms an
active poison; or the secretions may
be healthy but in unusual proportions,
and that these less or greater pro-
portions in combination with the
alum constitute poison.
'.For example, two parts of mer-
curry and two parts of chlorine form
calomel, which Is not poisonous, but
change the proportions to one part
mercury and two parts OF chlorine,
and we get corrosive sublimate,
which is a deadly poison.
''Then again we know nothing of
the constitutional peculiarities. Why
lis it that one person can eat all kinds
of green fruits and vegetables with
impunity, while the same course
might cost another individual his
life? One person can handle poison
ivy and sumac without being in the
Ieast affected; another is poisoned il
he approaches to within ten feet o.
them. Out of family residing in +,
malarial district, some of the members
will suffer half year with fever anC
ague, while the others will enjo,
excellent health during the entir
year. Foods that are wholesome tt
some persons are actually poisonou
to others, This is especially true o
r some kinds of fish. There is n
safety in taking alum into the stomac
, as it is shown to be always injurious
A and often dangerous. ="
Y The Scientific American publishe
n in a recent number list Of alum an
5 ammonia baking powders, which
e of great value at this time. Follow
ing is the list compiled from olIici'
reports. Powders marked with a sta
seem to have a general sale, as the
are mentioned IN at least two of u
official reports.

Surveyor General Petit informs
the Statesman that there are three
surveying parties in the north part
of the state One has just commenced
the survey of the ceded part of the
Ceur d'Alene Indian reservation
This tract contains about 200, 600
acres, large portion of which is land
of an excellent quality. Another
party has finished the survey in Latah
and made a commencement in
Kootenai county, on the st. Marys
river. This contract extends as far
north as the Pend d'Oreille river.
A third party is running the Boise
meridian to the British Columbia
line. The surveyor in charge writes
that the country through which he is
passing is indiscribably rough, and
that it had taken him sixty days
work to make thirty three miles.
1t required that trail should be cut
all of the former distance through o
wilderness where there was no human
habitation or inhabitants. All OF the
work in north Idaho is attended with
great difficulty not only on account
of its roughness but trouble in the
procurement of supplies.
In south Idaho party is making
survey in Washington county. Ii
includes all the agricultural land in
the north part Of the county and runs
up to near the Seven Devils mines.
This party is getting along remarka-
bly well. In Lemhi six townships
are being surveyed. The work
being performed is below Salmon
City and no reports OF difficulties
have been received. A contract ha'
lust been let for survey in Bois'
, county. 1t embraces all the agri
cultural land commencing at the lowe
end Of Long valley and running soutl
. to Horseshoe Bend. 1t has beef
t awarded TO Mr.. Rinearson. A con
n tract IS now being made for all tn
4 surveys in Cassia county.
t OGeneral Petit is very much piease'
: with the progress being made by tn
e surveyors He thinks all the contract
t will be completed this year with tn
S exception of the last two named
e The amount Of money expended Il
;. the work will be $40, 900, which
n as much as General Straughan wi
d allowed by the government for sue
- use during his entire term OF fo'
years in office. These surveys a
IL quite important to the people
is anlong the good results flowing ther
IN from the amount of taxable proper
will be largely increased each year.

SEVEN DEVILS ON TOP.
The Merits of the Great
Camp
Arc Bringing Her to the
Front

Professor Miller, of Marshaltown,
Iowa. in the interests Of Montana
and Kansas City capitalists is now
enroute to the great camp for the
purpose of making a location for
smelling plant to reduce the copper
ores to matte for shipment to eastern
refining works.
A party of Montana miners,
engineers and capitalist have just
returned from the Seven Devils
district after several months prospect
ing. There are eight in the party
and have recorded 16 mining claims
of 20 acres each making total of
800 acres of placer ground. They
have bought the John Evans water
right to 500 inches of water out of
Bear Creek one and one half miles
above Evans ranch, This is said to
be the same property taken up last
wear by the Seven Devils Improve
ment Company of which Col. Frank
Parker of Walla Walla was president.
1t is evident the present locators are
business men, and if they have found
gold in paying quantities they deserve
every cent they can make OF 1T, FOL
their energy and the enterprise
displayed in hunting it up. This is
another conformation Of what we have
always said, viz That the Sever
Devils district is only partially pro
spected, and there is room TO
hundreds of companies to go to worl
on the immense placers and gold
silver and copper lodges. This il
the strongest and most substantial
move yet made towards the organ
ization of large company. Mr.. j
w. Schadt of Negaunee, Michigan
r is at the head of the movement and j
r worthy, enterprising and energeti
man and we wish him the utmos
c success in the undertaking.

A Wee Small Branch.

J. H. Barton brought in a plum
tree branch, the other day, about two
feet long which contained forty eight
ripe plums and sveral had been broken
off. The twig with the fruit would
weigh nearly ten pounds. Mr.. Barton
fully understands of how much
importance fruit cannery and dryer
would be to this section. He says il
would cause the fruit growing
industry in this section to assume
gigantic proportions.

The State Road.

The object of Governor Willey's
late visit to Weiser was pertaining to
state wagon road matters. The first
section extends from Mt. Idaho to
Florence. This was finished and
accepted last fall. The second section
is from Florence to the Salmon river
bridge. This is not accepted. The
third is from Salmon river to Warm
Springs. This has been accepted.
The fourth from Warm Springs to
Salmon Meadows. Which is to be
examined. From Warm Springs the
citizens have built road eighteen
miles 10 Warrens which is now used
for travel by freigh as we'll as all
other teams. The governor will be
here again in a few days and in
company with the other commissioners
examine the second and fourth
section. People who have been or
the road say that it is in good con-
dition and we'll constructed There
only remains the construction of s
bridge on Salmon river between sec
tions two and three to make connec
tions complete.
According to contract this bridg'
must be completed before the frs
day of December and with the fore
employed, which is quite large, tn
governor has no doubt but that tn
terms will be complied with.

BA NIX

NEW YORK, Dec. Is "A about a year
and q half ago the wedding, of Mr..
Phillip Livingston and Miss Jaliette
Birchead Morris took place at st.
Bartholomew church. Every pew
in the church wa. filed with the
fashiona ble people ot this city. The
ceremony was held amid q bower of
palms, laurel wreaths and flowers
placed about the chancel. The
bride smaids wore pretty gowns
of white lace with golden girdles
aud wreaths of forget .me-nots.
The bride was beautiful and radiant.
After the ceremony large reception
was held at the house of the BRIDES
parents, Mr.. and Mrs VIM. A. Nor.
ris, and was followed by dinner In
the evening. IL is to be expected,
therefore, that somewhat of a sensa-
ton will be caused III social circles
before the end OF the week, when the
young couple will appear, in answer
to summons, in the supreme court, to
answer a complaint instituted by the
groom's own mother, charging
them with deception and fraud
in an attempt to deprive her
of all the property left to her by her
husbands will. 1t was the blushing
bride, according to the complaint of
the mother, that instigated her SOD,
while they were still away on their
wedding tour, to defraud her of her
property. No sooner had the honey
moon ended, the mother declares,
than the son made out deeds of con-
veyance and prevailed upon her by
false representation to sign them,
thereby transferring the title of the
property from her to himself.

In the straits of Mackinac there is
operated boat of great strength that
serves for transferring passenger
cars. 1t has enormous capacity and
carries twenty-fou steam engines for
the various requirements of its daily
business. The hull of the vessel is
built in the most solid manner, as the
weather throughout the win
ter becomes exceedingly cold g,
and one of the duties OF
the vessel is to keep channel open
for itself. The bow rises from the
water so as to hang over and hammer
the ice If necessary. In operation the
boat shoves her nose upon the edge of
the ice and literally lifts itself upon
1t, and then a propeller under the
overhanging bow sucks the water
from under the ice and enables the
weight of the vessel to more easily
crush it. The boat has made for her
self channel through some of the
thickest ice to be found In that semi
polar region.

Against the Supply Clubs.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec, 16.-The
police have begun war against the
cooperative supply scheme as it is
called. The scheme is to organize q
club of thirty-five or forty persons
who want to get suit of
clothes, q watch or some other article
costing about forty dollars. The
members pay dollar each week, and
each week there is q drawing to de-
termine which member shall get the
clothes or what ever it may be. In
this way person often gets suit
of clothes for one or two dol
lars, while the unlucky
person has to pay in the full S3S 90
before he gets his suit. These clubs
have in their membership prominent
business men and large number of
city officials. The police think these
drawings are species of lottery and
J. F. Rouike, the head of the Mil
waukee supply company, was placed
under arrest, charged with conduct
ing a lottery. He is having jury
trial today in Judge Wallber's court.
