THE LIARS aNp rus RID.


 The tspotted killing of the "Kid, ' in southeastern Arizona, is without foundation. The unlettered savage is still actively alive and ss evil minded as when he first cooked hls eaglo eye over Winchester gun-barrel with the fell intsnt of rendering white man food for powder. He is equally at home on foot or in the saddle, and is ever on the wing He is argus-eyed, doubles on his trail, and is as frequently in the rear as in front of his pursusrs.
 He is well aware that white men arc on his track, and that $5000 is the in ducement that accelerates their tireless pursuit, When it will end is the quss- ton. He travels flying light; has no oommissary at his back, and seldom sleeps wanting food to appease tho cravings of an empty stomach, He, however, is not wanting in friends whose skins are cslored as his own and who ivs upon the bounty of the gov srnmsnt, and when necessary, Paul Pry like, ke drops in upon them in their Wickiups and replsnishes his stock of ammunition and such necessities as are not obtaiRable with his guR.
 Newspaper reports are often mis- leading, as in the case above referred to, and in humbsrless instances arc de- sigAedly made with the view of convey ing the impression that the journal containing them is wide awake, pro gressive, and abreast of the times, leav- ing corrections to follow from journal istic writers who admire the character of Washington and fear to knowingly he. A fitting sequel to the foregoing is the knowing pervertien of the state ment which appeared in the BELT of Juns Sd, in relation to the appear ancs of the Kid who revealed his pres eAcs on the White Mountain Indian reservation May 29th, within six miles of tAe San Carlos Agency buildings and captured squaw, the wife of Ton to Bill.
 The Phoenix Herald of June 10th has this to say in reference to the mislad- ing statements; 'It is wonderful how a fact will get mixed up with rumor and develop into another supposed fact. Recently the Kid, that Apache tsrrer on whose head S5,00O reward sits much easier than crown, visited the San Carlos agency and swipsd new squaw. For the past day or two this fact has been twisted and maRgled till rumor hGa is fhat She ignoblo gayage had been shot by his own people while running his horse against the wind with the squaw tied to his saddle Then came the report from the Tombstone ProsPector that Indian signal fires were Burning in the Whitestone mountains. To the gossips in Phoenix that meant that his enemies were on the war path on the Kids trail and that his capture was hourly expected.
 Although many days have elapsed siacs signal fires vera reported seen which gossips in Phoenix said meant shat enemies were on the Kids trail and that his capture was hourly expect ed, there is no report by grapevine telegraph or otherwise that the hoped for capture has been made. We have seardthat hope repeatedly expressed since November 3d. 1889, the day after the killing of Reynolds and Holmes, and yet he goes where he lists, as frso as mountain air.

Trouble 10 Logan County.

Tho taxpayers Of Logan county are
at last aroused to the Importance of
compelling cessation Of extravagant
allowances on the part of their Board
of County Commissioners.
Out on Camas Prairie a protest
against the course of the Board is be.
ing circulated. 1t had already been
signed BY over 60 taxpayers when the
Bellevue Herald of this week went to
press.
G. G. Hubbs has appealed from two
orders OF the Board-one allowing
1907 to H. s. Hampton for legsI
services, and the other allowing J. T
Longabaugh, superintendent of Public
Schools, $5062 for apportion,np
school moneys.

THE NAIL CONTRACTOR,

Four Times tho Pay He viii Get.
Local horsem men are betting that
the contractor for the new mail route
between Shoshone, HALEY and
Ketchum will never give bond to
do the work or turn q wheel.
All the man is allowed is $14S9.
This is about $1l8 per month. if the
contract is to end with the fiscal year
The route will have to be served
both ways, on alternate days, but .
trip must be made each way on such
days, as on other days the railway
train will carry the mails the round
trip.
The service will therefore require
at least five two.horse teams each
way. For instance, every trip day
team will leave Shoshone coming
north As one leaves Ketchum coming
south.
The latter will be changed at
HALEY, at Spring Creek, at the Cot
tonwoods. and at Little Wood River.
Spring Creek will probably be .
Saving" station, each driver doubling
back over the route he will have
travelled. But that will make no diff
erence with the number OF horses re.
quired to stock and operate the route.
Including four horses for accidents
or sickness there should be at least "a
horses on tho road, two drivers, four
hostlers, and four agents-one in
Ketchum, one in HALEY, one in
Bellevue, and one in Shoshone.
To be sure farmers may do away
with the hostlers, and the agents will
be on percentage. But the con-
tractor will certainly have to keep "A
horses, two drivers, and maintaia
stations. Now, how is he going to do
all this on $148 per month?
Then, too, how is he going TO run
his stages in winter? In the early 8Os
the stage between Blacksoot and
Wood River was ut times lost for
three weeks. Even the railway train
was once stuck in the lava, or against
the ice in tho deep cuts, for as long as
II days. At that time there were many
teams on the road that packed the
snow and kept the road open. But
now there will not be much of this ;
and in case of blockade the mail con
tractor will have to open the road at
his own expense.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Thu Process By Which Steel Pens are
Made.

Made.
Tradesman.l
About million gross of steel pens
are worn out every year in the United
States. What becomes of them?
Twenty years ago most OF the steel
pens used in this country were im>
ported. Now comparatively few are
imported and there are several fac
tories in this country in which they
are made in large quantities. One
factory is in Connecticut, another in
Pennsylvania, aud q large one in
Camden. The Manufacturers say
that the industry has been fostered
by the protective tariff; were it to be
taken of the market would be flooded
with cheap steel pens at lower prices
than ours and of inferior quality. A.
present the importation of foreign
pens is confined to high priced
articles.
1t was FIRST doubted that steel pens
could be made in this country, but it
was soon learned that requisite skilled
labor could be obtained for high
wages, and the success of the pioneer
led one manufacturer after another
into the business. until now the field
is pretty we'll occupied. Most of the
work on these Instruments is done
with the aid of very nice machinery
worked by women and girls.
The steel used is imported, because
it is believed that the quality is more
uniform than the American steel.
This uniformity of quality is necessary.
because of the very delicate temper
ing required in the manufacture of
the pens. That mysterious quality of
steel, which gives different oolors, is
quality which requires expert man,pu-
lation on the part Of the workman
who does the tempering. He must
know the nature of the material with
which he works, and with that knowl.
edge, must exercise celerity and skill
that seizes upon the proper instant to
fasten the steel at heat which ln-
sures the requisite quality.
First, the steel is rolled into big
sheet. This is cut in strips about
three inches wide. These strips are
annealed, that is, they are heated to
re ! heat ard permitted to cool
gradually, SO that the brittleness is all
removed and the steel is soft enough
to be easily worked. The strips are
again rolled to the required .hicknes ss,
or, rather, run. 1t is the quick eye
for color and the quick hand to fasten
it that constitutes the skill to deter
mine the temper OF steel. When the
steel is heated for tempering it is
bri ght. The 6rst color that appears
s straw color. This changes rapidly
to blue. The elasticity of the metal
varies with the color and is arrested at
any point by Instant plunging in cold
water.
Tho process OF Sitting, polishing,
pointing aad finishing the pens are
operations requiring dextesi.y, but by
long practice the workmcn and work.
women become very expert. There
have been few changes of late years,
and the process Of manufacture is
much the same as it was twenty years
ago. and the prices are rather uniform
ranging from twenty FIVE cents to u
. gross, according t. the quality os
finish. The boxes sold almost uni
versslly contain a gross.

FLlPPING AT BIRDS.

IL Is Great Fun, Perhaps, but Very
Unprofitable-The Birds Our Friends.
Several of our town boys have had
great fun, this summer, shooting with
their aippers the birds that have been
so unusually abundant. As the birds
did considerable damage to the fruit
growing on the trees-and especially
to the cherries which, owing to the
difficulty experienced in growing
them at this altitude-are priced much
above their real value, no one oyer
thought of objecting to the destruction
caused by the bows with flippers.
Yet it is best for all concerned that
a few words of mild protest be uttered
against the practise, as they may pre-
vent its continuance.
The birds are tho natural enemies
OF the various insects that feed upon
and eventual v destroy our fruit and
shade trees. They appear in nuns
bers corresponding to the quantity of
suitable food indicated by the number
Of insects. If there are few insects
there will be few birds, and vice versa.
AS is generally known the insect
invasion has been of unusual strength,
this year. and the birds therefore ap-
peared in larger num- bers than hereto
fore. But the latter have been our
best safeguards. They have actually
saved our trees; and although in do
ing so they may have destroyed desir.
able fruit, their deprejations have
been only temporary, while the dam.
ages inflicted by the insects which
they destroyed would, but for them,
have been permanent.
All writer's on the subject are
agreed in the opinion that the birds
do ruch moro good than harm. All
are Likewise agreed in the opinion
that almost all insect pests are natur-
ally kept within bounds BY parasitic
and predaceous insects that busy
themselves in feeding upon them.
These insects are also subject to dis
eases of various kinds, as wei! as to
attacks of birds, reptiles and small
mammals. BY encouraging and aid
ing these natural checks to the in
crease Of insect pests, much can be
done toward keeping them within
bounds.
In the annual report of the Ne
braska State Horticultural Society
for 1898, Professor Bruner, in treating
this subject, says:
"Ot all things to be urged toward
this end, that Of protecting our song
birds is of the utmost importance. Dc
rot allow boys with guns to stalk
abroad in the land, shooting every
thing in the shape of bird that
comes in sight. Out of the 400 OF
more species of birds that visit our
State during the year, but two oil
three are to be classed as nuisancee
