The Lewiston addition to
Grangeville is now on the market,
and an opportunity is offered to in
vestors to obtain small tracts of
land for houses, orchards and gar
dens, or for speculative purposes
on the most favorable terms, and
at little over first cost Investi-
cation will convince every one that
a more beautiful location for houses
cannot be found, and the terms
are such that an investment can
not fail to bring in large profits.
The growth of Grangeville is at
present more rapid and substantial
than at any time in it's history
and the future of this very pros
porous town is now fully assured.
The Lewiston Addition consists OF
80 acres overlooking the business
portion of the town, sloping
gently to the north. The charac-

Our EN- CitU Letter.

We are having remarkably cool
weather here now, and, although
it may not be the best for prospect
ing, it is just what those miners
want who have only short sea-
sons water; for, as a matter of
course, the cooler the weather, the
longer the snow will remain on the
surrounding hills. and the longer
the snow lasts the longer the wa
ter season.
This has been very good sea-
son, taking it all around for the
placer miners of Elk City, for in
every instance without exception
the crews that have been making
cleanups, report better than aver
age results for the time. and all
claim that they had better ground
and worked off more of it than

4 Kick From Chase District.

Ed. FREE Press We have
read somewhere in the Bible that
Jesus met man who was pos
scssed of many devils, and he com
manded the devils to come out of
the man and enter into a band of
about two thousand swine, and
they ran down steep bank and
were choked in the sea.
Many people believe tho whole
herd were choked to death, but we
have positive proof that such was
not the case, as some of them after
having been kicked from place to
place for the last eighteen humid
red years have at last located on
Camas Prairie, and are trying to
build up town called Denver.
They now propose to organize a
school district comprising about
% square miles, and take from
other districts enough territory to
make one great district and then
bond it for large sum to build a
fine school house, all for the benc-
fit of the city of Denver. Let me
tell you what they propose to do
for district No. II, better known as
the Chase district. We have now
about 10 square miles of sparsely
settled territory, and lack $40 this
year of having enough money to
keep a three months school, which
the law compels us to keep in or
der to hold our organization; and
now when the country has begun
to settle up so we could live after
many years of hardships, having
kept our district together by pri-
vatc subscription, they propose to
cut in and leave us about six and
a half miles of territory, running
their district line within less than
one half mile of our school house,
and leaving us narrow strip five
and half miles long and about
one mile wide, (Which on the map
resembles shoestring), and vir-
tually kills our district if allowed,
They have employed two attorneys
to fight THIS thing through, and
map a plat of the proposed district
One of them is deficient in limb
and the other in mind, and an in

proved fallible. But even If the sig
nal has been set correctly the chance
Of safety is by no means assured. The
engineer, for instance, may be con-
sulting his clock, steam gauge, water
gauge, air pressure gauge injector,
lubricator, or any of the thousand
and one things that this argus-eyed
individual is supposed to keep watch
over, or he may, or he may not, have
dropped dead or become paralyzed,
or be sleepy or doing when the sig
nal is passed, or it may be storming
violently, or the signal light may
have gone out, or the fireman may
have the furnace door open, making
it impossible to see out of the cab
window on account of the glare of
light within. Any of these things
may cause an engineer to fail to OBJ
serve the feeble red CLEAN that stands
between him and destruction. The
audible signal, however, is open to no
such objections. Silent, yet vigilant,
it travels with him in his cab mile
after mile, and when Its brisk ring
ing breads in upon the thunder and
crash Of the engine as it groans under
its load Of precious human life the
engineer knows that the time Of dan
ger is at hand and delay means death.
How the Electric Signal Works.
The electric signal consists of a
rod, rail, or conductor, laid down the
center of the track the entire length
of the same. Its electric continuance
is broken ut intervals of every 1900
or 2,0OO feet, and a small piece OF
German silver-resiStance wire-iS
inserted. The locomotive equipment
is situated within the cow-catcher,
and consists of a brush or roller,
adapted to make electrical contact
with the central rod, rail or conduc-
tor, an electric bell in the cab and a
battery of one or two Laclanche
cells. One of the poles Of the bell
circuit is connected to the brush OF
roller, and the other, after passing

to its impelious will. Edwin d.
Graft, of New York, claims to be the
fortunate solver of the gigantic prob
lens to which reference has been
made. For each of his four inven-
lions he has taken out patents in
this country and Canada, in England,

Of both hemispheres He has la

Electric Signal System.
The electric signal system is a
wonder In its way, combining use
fulness hitherto unknown in the art
of signaling. At present the only
signals are visual signals, and the
vast majority Of them depend for
their correctness upon human opera

How to prevent accidents from the
derailment Of train of cars, how to
check a train moving at lightning
speed at the entrance Of an open draw
bridge supposed to be shut, and thus
prevent the train from plunging into
the yawning abyss with terrific loss
of life; how to bring as summarlly to
a standstill train about to 90 on a
trestle bridge a span Of which has
been suddenly swept away by some
swift destruction of storm, or food,
or fire; how to prevent a train from
being run into by another train, with
the wreck, perhaps, Of both trains
and instantaneous death to many
passengers--these are problems of
gravest Importance and supremest
public interest, These are problems

bosoms Of everybody for everybody

1t is believed that these problems,
seemingly impossible of solution as
they appear at first glance, have been
solved. 1t is not, however, to be
wondered at. 1t is the natural but
inevitable sequence of progress in

arranged that all locomotives going
north have the positive pole con-

locomotives thus equipped approach

1t Worked Well.

A red-nosed man, with shabby
clothes, stopped before the row OF
seats under the big weeping willow
near the bridge In the public garden
the other afternoon, says the Boston
Journal. The seats were mostly oc-
cupied by women and children.
Bending down opposite a bright
looking little girl, the red-nosed man
said smilingly;
I'll wish had nickel for you,
little one. You would like a ride on
the swan boats, wouldn't you, dear?"
Eyes, sir" replied the child, look.
ing up timidly.
Il knew you did, my child, and il
only had a nickel you should have
it."
LA! hear that old bum talk" ex,
claimed a woman sitting near.
IF he ant got a nickel why don't
he shut up and move on" remarked
another woman.
The Ted-nosed man pretended moi
to hear these remarks, and presently
addressed the little girl again:
"You remind me so much of one oil
my own little ones at home, If ]
only had nickel you should have it,
my pet"
"Oh, you make me weary" ex'
claimed another woman in disgust.
"Here's the nickel for the child,
Now do shut up and get out.
The red.nosed man reached out his
hand and took the money with an in
jured expression on his hard features.
Madam" he said reproachfully,
"the Lord loves cheerful giver. So
do l. 1t would hardly be right to
bestow an uncheerful gift on this
innocent lamb; so with your permits,

my throat a little. But always give

Then the red-nosed man passed
under the bridge, leaving behind him

"No, I nevers!"

The track portion Of the track in

or switches that normally lie along
and complete the continuity of the
center rod, rail or conductor, but by
means arranged within the box, so
that when a train passes over it it
moves one Of the switches across a
short insulated point and makes a
contact, which short circuits a train

Progress wien His Reading.

The newspapers have been called
the wife's foe, because the husband,
while reading the daily journal, must
not be disturbed by conversation. A
certain worthy clergyman found it
the rival to the Bible.
He had taught an old man in his
parish to read, and found him an apt
pupil. After his lessons were fin
ished, he was not able to call for
some time and when he did, only
found the wife at home.
"How is John?" said he. "HOw
does he get on with his reading?"
"Oh, nicely, sir"
"Ah, l suppose hell read his Bible
very comfortably now?"
"Bible, sirl He was out Of the
Bible and into the newspapers long
ago!"
This transition from the solid and
essential to the idle and superficial
has many forms in the experiences
of modern life.
