CHAPTER X.

An ancient but insistent problem finds
expression in the following vulgar ques-
ton: Which condition is the more desira-
BILE, that of small toad in a large puddle
or of the large toad in a small puddle2
From an abstract point of view much can
be said on either side OF this fascinating
topic, but practically each particular toad
solves the problem either as his individual
taste directs, or, il he is unfortunate,
through the Overwhelming force Of circum-
stances.
John Upper Inman, who as we know,
was very imposing toad at home, found
London an oppressively large puddle.
Here was he surrounded by four millions
OF people who had never heard of him, who
knew not that he was president Of a bank,
proprietor of a newspaper, demi-million-
aire, an ex-diplomat and man of gigantic
mental force.
He had been two weeks in the English
capital and no peer of the realm had called
at his hotel, no reporter had interviewed
him on American politics, no mention OF
his arrival had been made in the Court
Journal. At times he was tempted to set
out at once for Lisbon where, he knew, the
dons would receive him with cordial cour-
teSy.
There was only one thing that prevented
his immediate flight from London and that
was the delight his daughter found in the
historic shrines around her, The two
weeks that she had spent in England had
been filled with new sensations, strange,
fascinating dreams that dulled the pain in
her aching heart and brought now and
then the old rosy flush to her cheeks,
Alice had read more than most American
girls of her age and for years London had
seemed to her an enchanted city, through
whose ancient streets roamed the stately
spectres OF kings and queens, martyrs
heroes, poets, warriors, whose names would
never die. With the independence be-
gotten OF nature and habit she had done a
good deal OF sightseeing by herself, seek
ing out localities made famous by history
or fiction. searching for out-of-the- way
landmarks with a persistence that aston
ished her father, who could find nothing to
interest him in a tumble-down inn or an
hl-smelling court where the feet OF genius
once had trod. There were only two cor
ners OF the world worthy OF the Hon. John
Upper lnman's regard, namely Portugal
and New England
Had Alice, then, forgotten Harlan Otisi
Had the romance Of other ages made her
lose sight Of the romance OF her own Iifei
Could the shades Of Raleigh, Shakespeare
Goldsmith, Dickens wipe out in her heart
the image OF a handsome youth who still
avoided that bourn from which no traveller
returnS2
Perhaps these questions are not in good
taste. PERHAPS we ought not to plnnQe 3

Lets see: 1000 acres of decided
land in this county belonging to wild
ows, exempt from taxation, and 1900
acres that were proved up on since
assessment was taken, makes 5000
acres. Very SIMPLE. Citizen.
BAIL or the 20OO acres belong
ing to widows, all was assessed but
$50 acres. This $50 acres was on
the SIGNALS list because the law re-
quires that it be assessed, and to not
do so is violation, and a good por-
ton of this does not come under
the exemption law. The exemption
is put on record afterward, as in the
cases which were assessed. 40G0 less

The Helena Journal is jealous O
the magnitude of the Seven Devils a,
compared with Montana camps anC
speaks slightingly Of the camp as
follows believing that in mining
matters all things are possible, W,
>cannot refrain from suggesting that
without doubt, the Seven Devils
District was most appropriately named
as, for the past seven years, there has
annually occurred a ID of how
over the wonderful copper deposits oil
that country, but seasons have come
and gone with most provoking
regularity without bringing substan-
tial output of copper ore or bullion
from the Seven Devils, as a number
of Helena capitalists will testify,
with longing hand on their pocket
books, whose bulks were materially
reduced by giving heed to the
seductive tones of the peacock copper
of the Seven Devils Country.
Some three years since there was
made on paper mad race between
railroads to acquire possession of O
route between Weiser City and the
Seven Devils Country, but as one
halted for breath so did the other,
until it dawned upon both that neither
was ready to build the road and the
field was left open to be occupied by
any one ambitious to build road
with copper rails and silver spikes.
There is copper and silver in the
Seven Devils but the boosters of the
country will learn that capitalists will
not bat their eyes to the experience
of men who have been there heretofore
backed by unlimited capital; when
the worlds market needs the copper
the country will be developed. -
These same capitalists the journal
mentions are well known. 1t is also
known that they are out of pocket.
But not from any attempt to develope
the mines, not by any means, but by
spending several thousands in All
attempt to give it black eye, that s
the way they're out of pocket. 1t is
the hand of those Helena capitalists
that has kept the Devils down. Their
interests in Montana were so strong
that they feared this rival camp and
uselessly Gas the near future will
show squandered their money in a
scheme TO down tLis ominous
opponent.

AS an instance of the commissioners

AS an instance of the commissioners
slashing right and left without sense,
judgement or reason can be mentioned
the case Of old man Beardsley, who
is old and inirm and has a hard time
to make both ends meet Tie and
his wife, expecting reasonable
remuneration, take the care Of a
county charge, who is in so critical
condition as to require the most con
slant and tender care. Mr.. Beardsley
puts in the extraordinary low bill of
$12 a week for his nursing and board
which If it were all cash would be
none too much, but the warrant
would only bring him $40. 20. Any
one knows that a nurse for the sick
cannot be secured in any case for less
than $40, let alone board and other
matters. He should have had SIS
in county warrant, but the board cuts
his bill down to $40 week which
will give him only $3.50 or SO. so
less than he is entitled to. The
commissioners should reduce their
own salaries to what their services
are worth and be a little more speedy
in the transaction of business if they
wish to save the county money.
The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1892-02-04

The Commissioners have been
holding daily seances at the court
house for the past two weeks. The
honorable board displayed tact,
skill and discretion in dealing with
the vital questions of the day. One
of them went to Boise to fill up on
advice taken pure and unauthorized
from the very fountains of justice; on
his return they proceeded on their way
by rejecting all bids for county print
ing, refusing to pay the printer for
what he has done, and lay wires for
reelection. They resolved to carry
the old symbol, Sin hav signo, in
their inside shirt pocket and
adjourned. Idaho Citizen.

Indian Valley.


Ed. SIGNAL:-There was a dance
in the upper end Of the valley the
night Of the Goth, we had quite q
large attendance, part of the dancers
coming from Salubria and part from
Crane.
Mr.. James Gerwick and wife
passed through the valley Saturday
on their way home from a two OF
three months visit to Mr.. Gerwick' S
relatives in Pa. They say that
nothing happened to mar the pleasure
of their visit except the sickness of
Mrs Gerwick, which however was OF
short duration.
Born, to the wife of William
hinder, in Indian Valley, Friday,
Jan. the goth, a son, weight 19lbs,
Another recruit for republicanism.
Think that over.
There is more sickness in this part
of the country at present than usual,
lagrippe being the most prevalent
disease. So far as | have heard
though, none have been sick enough
to require the advice of doctor.
Report says that the Indian Valley
and Gray Creek joint lodge of the
Alliance has or will divide their
business with the intention of start
ing new lodge in both places.
1t is an unexplained, though an
acknowledged fact, that few Of the
boys of this neighborhood go to
Salubria and Crane for their company
to the neighborhood dances, and
while we do not.object to entertaining
visitors from outside valleys, we don't
think it right to slight our home
folks altogether. We have the
satisfaction, though of knowing that
one of our gay young gents went to
Crane and came back without any
calico. He looked blue, but we
gave him the benefit of our experience
and told him that people never died
Of such diseases. He is convalescing
very fast and we think will be able to
get around on crutches some time
between now and next Christmas.
Last Friday night at the dance some
imp Of the lower regions, who though
more Of a dollar than he did of him
self, stole pair of kid gloves be-
longing to Mr.. Gerwick. The owner
said the only reason he cared for the
gloves was because they were present
from his father.
The weather in this part of the
country has changed slightly for the
better. No chinook, but warmer and
melting some on the south hill-sides.
Hay on upper Crane is $40 per ton
in Indian Valley So per ton.
| will say, for the benefit of my
friend Gabriel that we have elected
two or three presidents already, (of
the alliance) without a railroad and
if the railroad comes through next
summer we intend to elect constable
and pair of justices of the peace.
What has become of Bro. Shearer?
If he has finished his mutilation of
the president and his message; the
president is really in luck. One
more letter from so able pen would
have defeated his chances for
denomination, sure.
