MOUNTAIN HOME.

A representative of THE TRIBUNE
took a trip to Mountain Home last
Saturday and was much surprised to
see the activity and hustle of our sister
town. Among other friends we met
Geo. L. Cole, formerly of this place,
and to him are indebted for look at
the big dam now being put in across
Rattlesnake creek, few miles above
town, to form storage reservoir for
irrigating the immense plains of fertile
soil adjacent to Mountain Home. A
person can have but a faint conception
of the magnitude of this work by hear
ing or reading. It is one of those
things which must be seen to be appre.
ciated. The dam being put in is prob
ably 200 or 300 yards long, about 200
feet wide on the top and forty-eight
feet high. 1t is being built of dry clay
and fine gravel, rip raped on the upper
side, and when completed will hold in
check water enough to form lake five
miles in circumference and from 20 to
100 feet deep. 1t is situated in beauti-
full little basin, nature forming all
other sides of the lake. The outlet is
novel and safe. Some fifty feet above
tho dam hole is blasted in solid rock
probably twelve feet deep. Commence
ing at this point tunnel is constructed
through solid rock through the hill
around the dam, and comes out some
fifty feet on the other side. The head
gate will be set at the mouth of this
tunnel, and tower erected as high as
the water can rise. 1t can thus be
easily handled and the water can be
allowed to run through without any
wear, tear or pressure on the dam.
Some sixty or seventy teams are hard
at work from daylight till dark, trying
to get everything in readiness before
the spring thaw. They are piling up
the dirt at the rate of foot day and
have about 20 feet yet to go. 10 the
uninitiated it does not look as though
there was enough snow in the noun
tains to fill this great lake, but those
better acquainted with the Rattlesnake
say enough water to fill it will come
down in twenty four hours. Next year
the company intend putting in two
additional reservoirs above, as feeders
to this one. The bottom of the lake,
although only about three miles from
the town, has an elevation of seventy
feet above the city. What magnificent
power! The work is being done by a
Chicago company, whose capital stock
is 100000. So far they have met every
payment, and as they also own the town
site the people there feel that they are
in earnest and have confidence in them.
Had THE TRIBUNE space it would
tell many other interesting things
about this great work, and what it will
accomplish, but as we are running
local paper in Caldwell we don't feel
justified in sighting local events.

HOPES OF To-

Neihart has had every obstacle to
her progress that a camp could pos
sibly have. She has seen adversely
as black as night and disappoint-
ment enough to vanquish a Spartan
soul. 1t is either a washout or a
railroad lockout; heavy smelter
charges or low price Of silver; the
death of a mining operator or the
failure of one to die. The brunts
she meets come in all conceivable
shapes, except that no doubt has
risen that the ore is here. This has
been proven beyond the shadow OF a
doubt. A dozen mines are known
to be mines and no one has been
found an absolute failure. {. l.,
Parker, of the Queen, has received a
letter from James j. Hill, in which
the magnate says according to the
reports of reliable experts, Neihart
is one of the largest camps in the
United States" 1t is not a ques-
ton of whether the camp will come
ahead. 1t is only a question of the
time required. The mar who holds
out will surely win and reap an
abundant harvest.

THE Meagher County News says
that the feeling is general that the
officers of the county, chosen at the
next election should be distributed
generally over the county and that
each impaired district should have
some representation in the conduct
of county officers.
This is the sensible view to take
in such matters. Fortunately for
the taxpayer there is not a fortune
in any of these Offices and some of
them. under the new laws, regulating
the salary of county offices are barely
more than honorary positions. But
the idea seems to prevail that better
results to the largest number m light
be obtained if these positions OF
prominence were scattered we'll over
the inhabited portions of the county.
There are about fifteen offices to fill
and what we want is good men here
and there with self sacrifice enough
to throw themselves upon the alter
of public servitude. From the pres
ent outlook there seem to be plenty
of people to take these jobs, but men
are not so thick as they might be.

1t Was Fun for the Dog.

The other day Il novel scene was wit
messed on upper Broadway. where the
theaters are thickest. There was a sharp
atmosphere abroad and the drivers were
slapping their hands and stamping their
feet in their efforts to keep from freez-
ing. In one such effort one driver
dropped his whip. AS his assistant
climbed over the wheel to get it a bow
legged, crop cared dog lodged from I'M
der Il carriage, and Selling the whip in
his mouth frisked lightly away with it.
The drivers laughed and shouted and
the young man ran after the dog and
called and whistled, but the more they
laughed and yelled and whistled the
funnier it seemed to the dog.
He dived under the wagons and played
hide and seek around the horse cars,
now and then tossing the whip up in the
air in sheer exuberance of animal spirits,
all the while keeping.a weather eye on
his immediate pursuer, the whole Broad
way world looking laughingly on. FL
nally. in the course of ID block or two,
after Il horse had stepped Oh the butt
and nearly jerked the bOwlegged dogs
teeth out and a street car had run over
the lash and jerked them i'll again, he
dropped the thing in the roadway and
capered after his disappearing master,
leaving the truckmans assistant in pos
session. thoroughly warmed up with the
se.-New York Herald.

Wild Dogs in the North.

In the Lake of the Woods country,
which may be described as a wilder
ness of forest, rock and brushwood,
a ace Of wild dogs have established
themselves and are increasing in
numbers so rapidly that fears + en-
tertained that the animals will yet
become troublesome. When the
Canadian Pacific railway was under
construction the camps of the work
men had of course to be frequently
moved, and dogs were often left be-
hind, and eventually, like wolves
and foxes, found means of sustaining
themselves.
The animals are large, lean, short
haired and generally red or red and
white in color. They L exceeding
ly wild and fly on the first approach
Of man. In winter they live by
catching rabbits that abound in the
wilderness of brushwood; in summer
the wild dogs catch fish that crowd
the smaller streams that connect in
land lakes. The Indians detest the
wild dogs, as they pursue game and
take the bait from traps and are a
general nuisance. Sometimes a wild
dog is taken in a trap that has been
set for other animals, but the beasts
are exceedingly cunning, swift and
watchful. Pilot Mound Sentinel.

This Good Samaritan Was u Woman

A poor Italian woman with a babe
in her arms and two little tots at her
heels arrived in Boston one day last
week. She could not speak a word
of English. She handed a piece of
paper to a policeman, who shook his
head and turned away. A Boston
woman, one of Gods women, too,
approached the poor immigrant, and
taking the paper from her read an
Italian name, number so and so Bill
lerica street. Unfortunately the good
Samaritan did not know where Bill
lerica street was; SO, followed by the
Italian and her little ones, she en-
tered a store to find out. Seeing the
Italian, the stOrekeeper exclaimed,
"Oh, they've been in here three or
four times before; we don't know
anything about itl'
But surely the directory Will tell
where Billerlca street is" said the
kind hearted woman, grasping that
much thumbed volume. A brief eX-
animation resulted in the desired in
formation, and straightway the good
Samaritan escorted the mother and
her little ones to humble lodgings,
where the immigrants mother well
coined the party with benedictions In
sweet Neapolitan. After contributing
money to buy mittens for the little
ones the good Samaritan went her
way. Which would you rather be,
the policeman, the storekeeper or the
good Samaritan?-Boston-Hera

A Ricd That Is Feared.

The elster (pica candata) is a bird
that is respected and feared through
out south Germany. It belongs to
the raven tribe and is about the size
of a dove, with black and white
feathers and long pointed tail. 1t
builds it's nest in orchards and its
life is sacred. If it is seen three
times in succession on the same house
top, in a place remote from its home,
it is believed to be a sure sign of
death in that house. If it flies over
a house where any one is i'll and
gives its peculiar cry the sick person
is sure to die, but if itdOes not scream
the patient may recover. tits better
for the sick person if the bird does
not come near.
No one could be hired to bother
these birds for fear they might seek
revenge, and if by chance one Of
them should die, it is a sign Of bad
luck to the owner Of the property
where it was found. The bird is a
valuable insect destroyer, and in this
way probably more than compensates
for the fear it occasions among the
farmers. Philadelphia Ledger.

He Opened His VsllsA.

When we crossed the line at Port
Huron and Sarnia things were ex-
citing. It was 1870 at night for one
thing. Sitting opposite me, or rather
reclining in a position . suggest
i've of comfort than of grace, was a
verdant looking youth, who had for
some time been making night hide
Gus with his snores. Upon rudeiy
being awakened by the customs Off
GER and requested to open his valise.
he replied, There's nothin much
in it," and closed his eyes again.
The officer gave him no very gentle
shake, saying, Open your valise,
sir" The fellow raised himself up,
leaning his head on his hands, and
blinking stupidity at the officer, re-
piled again that there was nothin'
much in it," and prepared to close
his eyes once more.
"Open your valise, sir" exclaimed
the officer, out of all patience. By
this time most of the passengers In
the car were watching the fun.
Slowly the young giant unstrapped
his valise, repeating all the time that
"there was nothin much in it."
Slowly but surely we were crossing
the ferry, where the sullen waters Of
the st. Clair river were cleaning
darkly beneath the glare of the cleo
trio lights, and slowly but surely
that young man was opening his
valise beneath the wrathful CLEAN Of
hat officers eyes and the amused
looks of many pairs of others. AT
last, after much fumbling in many
different pockets, he brought forth a
bunch Of keys. Very deliberately
he tried first one and then another in
the lock, and at length remarked
that he guessed none of them would
fit. Il don't care whether they fit
or not; open it at one or I'll force it
open. l can't stand here all night
was the angry reply.
II guess maybe it amt locked at
all, for there amt nothin much in it,
said the exasperating youth quite
coolly, as he very slowly pressed the
lock between his thumb and finger.
The valise flew open and disclosed
one old newspaper.-Toronto Globe

FREE COINAGE.

The republican senate has passed
a bill that phases silver on an equality
with gold. The bill goes over to
the house where the democrats have
a majority sufficient to pass any legi-
station that they e ft. The repub-
licans are so hopelessly in the min
ority hat they can not possibly pre-
vent the Stewart bill from becoming
a Law if they wish to. But the Stew
art bill will not become a law. AL
though we were told at the begin
ming of the present session that a
free coinage act would surely be
passed by the democratic house,

in favor of it, yet the passage Of
that measure stands but little chance

A NEWSPAPER genius in New
York has written a letter, says the
HERALD's Washington scribe, in
which he undertakes to state the
wealth of the most noted men of the
country. 1t is generally easy to
overestimate the fortunes of wealthy
men, but in this case other %inaccura-
cies occur. The list now going the
rounds is misleading as to some men
we'll known in Washington. The
second name on the list is hat of
Levi p. Morton, Vice President Of
the United States. His fortune is
stated at S5,O00,00O. Mr.. Morton is
worth twenty millions. Further on
! see ~ex-Secaetary Whitney put
down as having s5,OOO,OOO. Mr..
Whitney's income is over million a
year, and while it would probably be
hard for him to tell just how much
he is worth, his property and that of
his brotherinlaw, Oliver Payne, be-
ing very much mixed together, yet it
would obviously be ridiculous to put
down Mr.. Whitney at less than twen-
ty millions. He is probably worth a
great deal more. Next ! note that
~ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed is put
down as having $4,000. He has
more than twice that amount.
He owns a big square mansion in
Portland, Me-, worth a good deal of
money, and he has considerable 9TH
er property. Then we have White
law Reid's wealth stated at $1,000,
600. Two of Mr.. Reds residences
have cost more than that amount. 1t
is not easy to define Mr.. Reds for
tune otherwise than by saying he is
the s~on-in-law of ID. O. Mills. Mr..
Mills estate is at least $3O,0OO,O0O,
and Whitelaw Reid with his wife
and children get half of it. Chief
Justice Fuller's fortune is said to be
100000. A single piece of real
estate in Chicago owned by him is
worth much more than hat. Judge
Fuller is worth more than 100000,
as everybody knows who knows any
thing about him.

Strange, but True.

The other afternoon a room Sufi-
GENTLY large was occupied for three
hours by a company of about fifty
persons. There was talking by sew
eral different persons, and about half
way through the exercises a song was
attempted. The singer accomplished
her task with much difficulty, for by
that time the air was vitiated and
exhausted SO that her voice seemed
to fall back into her throat. A late
conner, who reached the Don only a
few moments before the company
dispersed. recoiled from the air which
met her, and a glance showed the
dull yet CLASSY eyes and flushed
cheeks which come with choking
lungs.
But, says the reader at this point,
they must have been a set of chill
dren or ignoramuses not to have
opened the windows or doors and
obtained relief. They we're neither.
It was a session of one of the bright
est women's clubs in the city, and
there were half a dozen representa-
tive women discussing with zeal and
practical knowledge the question of

Neglige Shirt and the Sash

The Neglige Shirt and the Sash to Go.
The neglige shirt of last summer. no
matter how costly, will not be brought
forth to adorn his manly bosom during
the coming season.
But his interest will rather center IN
the percale shirt in quiet effects, with
white collars and cuffs stitched on.
The bosom will have a narrow single
stitched edge, likewise the collars and
cuffs, and will close with three large
mother of pearl buttons sewed on.
In neck dressing, both for these and
for white plain bosom shirts the four in
hand scarf of 215 inches in width will
receive most favors in his eyes.
Altogether, furnishings in the way OF
neck dressings seem for the nonce to be
In harmony with the seasons cOlorings
i'll woolens, and this being an exception
is worthy of special note.
Now when the spring and summer
young man dons his silver gray suit he
will find at hand a scarf of the same
coloring, likewise the same in tan.
1t seems highly probable that presently
the flannel shirt of the finest weave in
twills will again come in favor for negli-
ge costumes at the seashore and in the
mountains; but for town wear never.
But the sash, what of that? Well,
this is a question not easily answered.
1t also has been done to DEATH" and
such being the case it cannot be seri-
ously considered in this summary.
Certainly not for dress, and writing
of dress a word in that respect is in
order.
Plain shirt fronts, with narrow single
stitched edges and plain ''e~verything,"
in fact, including the lawn tie, will be
correct, and collars will be of moderate
height with moderately hand turned or
ironed over points. -Sartorial Art Jour-
