THE newspapers OF the day in the
OF their great mission. Thus the Dray-
ton-Borrowe episode was availed OF to
inform the world that Mrs. Astor, the
mother of Mrs. Drayton, has very
pretty foot, with long, slender toes.
The world can now realize what it would
have loatif the scandal had not occurred.
Those toes would have gone to the limbo
of things lost on earth if it had not been
for that matrimonial reimbursement.
Some skeptical people will attempt to
argue that it is no particular conse.
quence any yhow, and will try to beIittle
the circumstance. But how do they
know? Great events have often turned
on trihes, the world is full of recondite
things and the. fact thus developed may
be of great Importance in the concerns
of the New York Four Hundred. 1t
may even give McAllister new stand
ard in arranging his exclusive list. He
may, hereafter, set up slender toes as a
sine qua non to social distinction. He
would probably not carry his prylng dis
position to the extent oi compelling the
ladies to exhibit their feet. That might
be held to be slightly indelicate. But
there is nothing that we can see to esuop
him from exacting the certificate OF
pedicure. That would be far less invid-
ious than calling for the exhibition of a
pedigree, with which, unhappily, pre-.
cious few OF the Four Hundre are pro-
yided.

A GREAT bargain is waiting for some
body in The Los Angeles and Pacific
railway. 1t traverses one of the pret-
tiest and most productive regions Of Los
Angeles county. The frostiess belt
which aligns it is capable Of being
made great source OF revenue to a
railway, and its terminus on the beauti-
full bay of Santa Monica assures it a
good share of the excursion business.
Some capitalist or some corporation
ought to repair its roadbed and thor
oughly equip it tor business. Its city
terminus ought to be extended to the
heart of Los Angeles 1t could be made
a valuable property in short time.

ern Papers.

The New Orleans Picayune
publishes the following wild story,
which is evidence that there are no
Ensor Institutes down in that locality.
A despatch from Boise city, Idaho,
says that three travellers, while on their
way recently to point near the upper
end of lake Cheylon stopped at spot
called Devils Slide, and one of them
waded into the water to make his
morning ablutions.
AS he was dipping his feet for the
last time he suddenly uttered a scream
and called to his companions that he
was being dragged into the lake by
some unseen monster that was hold
ing to his leg.
His friends rushed to his assistance
and seizing him by the arms succeeded
in bringing him ashore and with
frightful- looking creature that still
clung to his leg. 1t appeared to have
the legs and body of an alligator, with
the head and eyes of serpent. Be-
tween its fore and hind legs on either
side, were large, ribbed, leathery-
looking wings. The tail was scaled,
but not barbed, like that in pictures
of dragons. With the exception of
the under part of the throat and the
tips of the wings, feet and tail, the
creature was a beautiful white, and
its skin was as soft as velvet.
The two men tried in vain, with
knives, sticks and stones to beat il
off. but the monster chung fast to its
prey. Finally the men built a fire
and pulled the neck and abdomen Of
the creature across it. Soon it begar
to move and stretch out its leather,
wings after the manner of a bat, anC
then suddenly it flew into the air
still holding the man by the leg.
After rising to a height of 200 fee
it took a header downward AM
+ plunged into the lake with splas
and sank beneath the waters with it
human victim, and neither was see
again.

RAISING WATER FROM SNAKE.
A New System Of Wheels
that May be Utilized.
For Irrigation as We'll
as Mining.

Statesman Cor.
During the past year a number of
placer mining claims were located on
the right bank of Snake river, near
Grandview Ferry. The various
claims are contiguous and comprise a
tract along the river bank about five
miles in length. All are of gravel
and the entire tract is good mining
ground. A joint stock company has
been formed by these claim holders
on this tract and a series of water
wheels of an entirely new con-
struction will be set in the river for
the purpose Of raising water for the
working of the ground The plan of
the wheel is entirely different from
the usual form of current wheels, and
is the invention of David Dodge, of
this place, an old engineer on the
Union Pacific. One of them is now
completed on the Dodge & Hager
claim. 1t is built somewhat on the
plan of the turbine wheel although
its size is much greater, being 10 feet
in diameter. The scheme is to place
two of these wheels on a shaft about
40 feet long and then set it in the
river with the shaft parallel to the
current, thus bringing the faces of the
two wheels to the current. The
current turns the wheels with the
shaft. The shaft has pulley on one
end and from this pulley the power
is transmitted by wire cable to {
pump.
1t is estimated that this wheel viii
utilize about 80 per cent of the powe
of the water in the current whicl
, strikes it. If it is a success it will b
decided improvement on tn
, ordinary over and undershot wheel
: which generally utilize but 20 to 81
per cent of the water power.
Hon. A. w. Hager. the well know
e attorney and mining and irrigatio
4 man, is now in Chicago to enlist tn
a interest of capital in this mining pre-
Il ject. The prospects for success c

THE EXHIBIT AT WEISER.
Pomona, Goddess Of Fruits
and Flowers,
Would be Deli GIFTED at the
Display.

Worlds Fair exhibit which has been
on display in the concrete building
has attracted no little attention and
it is safe to say that this display
will advertise the wonderful resources
of this county better than years of
talking or writing. In Weiser it has
been visited by hundreds, and at
Chicago it will be visited by hundreds
of thousands. Hardly a stranger
has visited Weiser and departed with
out being shown this marvellous
collection. They were all thunder
struck. All hail to Mr.. Hannah for
getting up the best display in the

ed; he imagines he has intruded
upon the domain of the gods |
of husbandry and agriculture;
when he sees the jars, boxes
and piles of magnificent apples he
imagines he is in the tabled garden
of Hesperides; when he sees the
wonderful display of fruits of all
kinds, he looks around for the throne
of Pomona The front of the build
ing is taken up mostly with grasses
and grains. OF grasses, native and
tame, there are twenty seven varieties
including clover, alfalfa and
specimens of native rye nine feet high
the last being one of the most
nutricious hay grasses. There are all
varieties of grain in the sheaf, includ-
ing seven varieties of spring and fall
wheat and five varieties of oats, of
wonderful development and pro-
Efficacy. There are several varieties
of tobacco, and broom corn II feet
high, and on the floor lies Dawson's s
mammoth 144-pound pumpkin. In the
forend and around the room are also
stacks of grain in the sheaf and in the
sack, piles of mammoth ears of corn,
corn on the stalk, beans on the vine
and varieties of vegetables and boxes
of apples. OF corn there are seven
teen varieties.
In the center of the room are two
long tables, one is filed the entire
}. length with pans containing clean
threshed wheat, oats, barley, polist
wheat, Alfalfa seed, red clover,
timothy seed; around the edge of the
table lies more piles of differen
varieties of corn in the ear.

fired by one Of the road-making
parties in the neighborhood of the
Nuuanu bridge, and a piece of iron
weighing two pounds being one
half Of link Of one inch chain
was driven as far as Captain Mist's
premises, where it made a score on
the ground just in front of the door
steps and rebounding fell on the
grass about five yards from the
first Craze. The flying fragment
passed 80 close TO the head of n
young lady that she heard the
whizz az it passed her, two ladies
in the house also heard it in tho air
and saw it throw up the dust in
the drive. The superintendent of
the road parties had better enquire
for n broken chain, and try if the
broken link fits the piece in Cap
tain Mist's possession.
