The HAYNES Palace Studio car

will be in Kootenai Thursday and
Friday, March Z and Is. We are
prepared to execute all styles Of
Photographic work by the latest
and most approved methods.
Our car is constructed expressly
for Photographic purposes, and is
fitted with all the modern appli-
ances for the production Of the
highest class Of photography.
This is not a new enterprise, we
having made annual trips over the
Northern Pacific for the past seven
years, and by good work and fair
dealing have built up trade that
is equaled by very few Of the larg-
est studios Of eastern or western
cities.
We intend making Kootenai one
of our regular stopping places here
after, and our patrons can depend
upon our coming at least once
every year.
A cordial invitation is extended
to all to visit the car and inspect
samples. f. JAY HAYNES.

A New Bank.

THE HERALD made mention last
week that several bankers were
locking this way with a view to
locating. 1t may now be stated as
a fact that we will soon have a
bank here. William Rosegrant, a
banker Of Alton, Kansas, and a
partner Of William Eaton, expects
to remove to Idaho about the LIST Of
April, and will open a bank in
Bonner's Ferry.

The Earliest Route.

Captain Troup, who will manage
the boats Of the Columbia and
Kootenai Steam Navigation Com
pany, is now at Little Dalles max
ing preparations to haul the Lyt-
ton out of the water, so that She
can be thoroughly repaired. This
would indicate that there is little
likelihood of the Little Dalles-R Rob
son route being opened much ear
lier than April 1.-Nelson Miner.
Captain Gray, of the steamer
Spokane, now has that boat in fine
condition and ready for business as
soon as the ice goes out, which will
not be later than the 18th, judging
from present indications. 1t is
safe to predict that the Kootenai
River route by way of Bonner's
Ferry will be open a month earlier
than the Columbia River route.
BY March 20 there will be an all
rail and water route open to the
Kootenai Lake names, with only
one transfer-that at this place.
1t will require four transfers to
reach Ainsworth or Kaslo City by
any other route.

Early Spring at Nelson.

Local weather prophets, who
have great faith in signs and indi-
cations, predict that this will be an
early season-fully a month earlier
than last. There is not more than
six inches Of snow at Nelson and
about the same at Ainsworth. On
Toad Mountain there is not as
much as on the 1st of April last
year, The outlet is still closed be-
tween five and seven-mile points,

The Use Of a Leap Year.

Boston Globe
The necessity of some division OF
time must have been early felt in the
civilized woi i'd. This was done in a
way by the changes Of the moon
hence the Lewiston into months and
weeks. Then the seasons gave an
other mark OF division, and thus arose
the division Into years. But the year
did not CONTAIN an exact number OF
months. Various ways were employ.
cd to correct this error. The Egypt
ans had wear determined by the
changes of the seasons, without re-
gard to the moon, con tanning 1856 days
divided into twelve months OF thirty
days each, with five supplementary
days at the end Of the year. The jews
had, and still havea year OF twelve
lunar mOnGhs, q thirteenth being in.
troduced from time to time, to accom-.
odate 1t to the sun aud seasons. This
was the plan of the ancient Syrians
and Mscedouians. The Greeks
reckoned real lunar months, twelve
making q year. Julian Caesar, In As
B. c.. Instituted the Julian calendar,
according to which the year has or
dlnarily 365 days, and every fourth
year is leap year of 366 days. The
length of the year was thus assumed
ga 385 IA days, while in reality it IL
365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and so
second. or IL minutes 10 seconds less
than 365 days. This Julian style
Of eckoning was so comparatively
perfect tnaL 1t prevailed until the IL
minutes (about) had amounted in
1882 tn 10 complete days, when also
the vernal equinox tell upon the 18th
instead of 2lst of March This same
discrepancy occurred in the year 325.
This shifting Of days had caused great
disturbances by uufixing the time of
the celebration of Easter, also all
other movable feasts.
Accordingly, Pope Gregory XIII.
ordained that ten days should be
deducatad from the year 1882, by
calling what, reckoning by the old
calendar, would he the 5Th of October
1882. In order that the displacement
might not occur, 1t was further or.
dained that every hundredth year
1880, 1900, 2l00, etc), excepting every
fourth buudredth beginning with
1000. In this way the difference be-
tween the civil! apdnatural year will
not amount to day III 5000 years

lions fell in line later. Russia is the
