Two Dogs and a Drowning Van

The instinct of Newfoundland dogs to
save drowning person has been somewhat
painfully tested by an unlucky French
man. He was walking in the country
with friend who Possessed a magnificent
Newfoundland, and incsutiously ques-
toned the truth Of the animals sagacity.
The dogs master, vexed at the slur cast
upon his favorite, gave his friend a push
and knocked him into the shallow river.
Turk Immediately sprang in, and, seizing
one Of the tails Of the immersed mans
coat, commenced to swim for land
Unfortunately another Newfoundland,
trottiDg along on the other side of the riv-
er, saw the affair and also came to the res
cue. Dog number two Immediately seized
the other tail of the coat and wished to
swim back to his master Turk held fast
and struggled for his side, and the owner
of the coat cried in vain for help. At last
the coat gave way and each dog swan
proudly home with piece of cloth in his
mouth, so that Turks master was forced
to plunge in himself to save his friend

mild hammered gentleman TO the paying
teller Of one Of the big banks down town.
The mild hammered gentleman had Just re-
ceived a bulky pile of currency in exchange
for check, and had taken the precaution
to count the money on the spot. With a

the teller replied: I'VE never make mis-
takes here, sir. You will find that to be
correct"
But l am certain" said the gentleman
earnestly. Il have counted these bills
twice, and you have given me too"--
You are mistaken, sir, interrupted the
clerk haughtily. Il never make n mistake

Sir, that is impossible. Please don't
take up any more of my time. There are
others waiting to be attended to-"

at the teller, and then, with gesture OF
Impotence, said: "Oh, very well. can
stand it if you can" He placed the roll of
bills in his pocket and lett the bank. An
observer Of the incident followed MIN out

says that Jennings & White, the con-
tractors, finished their section of the
state road on Wednesday last, and it is
now complete as far as Salmon river,
which will have to be bridged. Men
are at work upon the approaches, and
he thinks it will be completed in about
two months, when there will be a. di-
rect road all the way from Boise CITY To

rens and the same from Weiser to the
same place. He says the road is not
completed north of the Salmon river.
but will be by the time the bridge is
constructed also that the recent work
performed by Jennings & White is a
model for road.
Governor Wiley's Knott mine mill is
nearly completed and starts up next
week. 1t is the only steam power mill
in camp. He thinks Warrens will ex-
Gel as quartz camp full as much as it
did for placers. The country is improv-
ing wonderfully all along the state road
New county roads are being made to in
tersect it. One is mentioned particular
ly as being constructed by Geo. Reibold
1t runs from Warrens to Warm Springs
and is well constructed. Mr.. Reibold is
a leading mining man in that section.
Now that roads are opened so that hea-
w machinery can be brought in, the
people are very hopeful that Warrens
will be very prosperous Heretofore
there has only been mule trail for the
convenience of the miners.
