There is on file in this office let
ter from one Barney Morris, in
which he takes exception to a
statement made in the HERALD di-
rectly after the last fire. The HER
AID said that Morris had $3.50 in
surance which fully covered his
loss. Morris takes exception to
this and claims that he had $500
worth of property destroyed. The
gall of the mani We very much
doubt, from what we hear, if he
could have sold the whole works
out for $500 cash. In this connec-
ton we might remark that people
are getting more light on that fire
every day. A representative of the
insurance companies has been in
town this week and went away with
40 folios of evidence, which strongly
suggests that Morris may be one of
the blackest of villains. From Mr..
Herman, the insurance man, we
learn that Morris has burned out
in various places under suspicious
circumstances. 1t was in his place
that the great fire of Seattle origin
ated. He vas arrested and placed
in jail two weeks but got out for lack
Of evidence. 1t is not likely he will
get any insurance this time.
We forgot to make a mention
last week of the new mail service OF
the Great Northern. AS is well
known there has been pouch sys
tenn between Spokane and Havr,
for some time, the mail being car
ried by express. Commencing will
the 1st Of the month, the Compan,
began running a regular mail car
These cars run between Kalispel
and Seattle, there still being gal
? on the road-from Kalispell t
Havre-where the mail is carrie,
by express. The new system i
hailed with delight by the peopl
along the line where it operates
: Mail East will not now have to g
Spokane and lay over day.

WASHED 1T OUT ON THE YAHk,
j. w. Proctor Returns from the Camp
bringing with him a vial filled with
the Genuine Article. He says the
Tahk will be Lively next Year.

j. W. Proctor, better known as
Deathon-the- Trail, was in town on
Thursday last. He was just down
from the Yahk placer country, and
exhibited vial in which he brought
$50 worth of the yellow dust, the
result of four days labor so he said.
He has taken out over 5000 this
summer. He is working about ten
miles above the mouth of the Yahk,
in the vicinity of old Snipetown.
He says that there were over 1000
acres of placer ground located there
this summer, and that by hydraul-
ic work most of the ground can be
made to pay big. The gold is
nice looking quality, as in the vial
Death exhibited were many fine
nuggets.
Quite number Of Spokane men
are interested in the camp. Among
them are Green, Brand & Co., who
have made IL locations; Dan Allen
q Co., 5 locations; J. w. Proctor,
M. ]. Hayes and Willis Merriam, 5
claims, in company Nearly all
Of these parties propose to work on
their claims next year. Some Of
the parties propose to put in hy-
draulic works.
A number of Bonner's Ferry par
ties also have locations in this
camp.
Death says that on his last trip
in he did some prospecting on the
creek bottom with very satisfactory
results. At one place he waded in
to the stream, worked the boulders
: away and scoopcd up IA camp kettle
full of sand from which he got over
60 cents. His ideal scheme is to
hume the creek and work the bed
where he is confident there is un-
told wealth.
The camp is located within ten
miles of the Great Northern rail
way and is easily reached from
Bonner's Ferry or Leonia. They
are near the state line but on this
side, being in Kootenai County.
A number of Montana men are
: now on the YahK investigating the
bars.
a There is no doubt but that there
d will be considerable activity there
in the spring. Capital is now look
n ing for gold propositions, and tn,
Yahk presents an inviting field foI
4 operations on large scale.
Proctor left for Spokane Thurs
! day night but will return in few
days. He expects to make
- good clean up yet this fall. Tn

Mr.. J. G. Rykert, collector of
Canadian customs at the Boundary

Maj. J. |. Barnes, EXCLUSIONS in

his attention to the Boundary Line

as keen as ever, which is enough in
itself to make him one of the most
companlonable OF men.
Through the rush of work last
week we neglected to mention the
new advertisement of j. F. Cook, Jr.
Mr.. Cook is now the only represent
ative of the drug business in the
city. He has neat and we'll stock

like prince.
We were glad to see so good a
man as Frank r. Little locate in
Bonner's Ferry last spring and it
gives us further pleasure now to
note that he is doing nearly the
whole Of the business Of the town
in his line.

Knows A GOOD THING.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Advel.
tises Exclusively in Newspapers.
1t has required many years of expert
ence to convince advertisers that the
newspaper is the only medium through
which an adequate and certain return
for their money is assured. The acqui-
sition of this knowledge has cost the ad.
vertisers of the country hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars. The lessons of ex-
perience were expensive, but as it was
the only school in which they could be
learned, the cost is not to be deplored.
Shrewd advertisers now realize that
through the newspapers alone can they
reach the people
There is little doubt that the recent
example Of the Pennsylvania Railway
company i'll resolving to abandon all
forms Of advertising except through
newspapers Of known value will be fol-
lowed by other advertisers. The Penn
sylvania Railway company experimental
for several years to ascertain the best
medium for reaching the public. The
newspaper advertisement was found to
reach more people for less expenditure
of money than any other medium, and
hence it will hereafter be exclusively
used.
The result of the experiments of this
great railway company are worthy the
attention of all advertisers The fact
that after full and fair test of posters,
hangers, calendars, cards and sign boards
as advertising mediums the company
discovered that they produced smaller
returns and were more expensive than
newspaper advertising, should be appre-
ciated by the most obtuse user of "print-
ers' ink The Pennsylvania knows q

The School Review.

One of the most striking suggestions
for the local observances of Columbus
Day is that in every town and city in
the land the schools parade after the
morning exercises of the celebration.
While this is not specifically included in
the official programme prepared for the
day, it is strongly urged by the COM
mittee Of educators who have had the
uniform celebration in charge.
If there is general parade of the
civic and military organizations a
public school review should be its
most honored feature. If there is no
general procession the schools alone
might be reviewed. Let the pupils
meet at their school houses at a desig-
mated hour and be conducted by eff
rient marshals. without delays and in
perfect order, to their places in the line.
The army veterans north and south,
the blue and the gray alike, are proper
ly to march with the schools as special
guards of honor. AS the reviewing
stand is reached each part of the column
can salute the flag with cheers and
waving of handkerchiefs and caps.
The various patriotic organizations
might fittingly be invited both to the
morning exercises and to serve, in addi-
ton to the veterans, as escorts in the re-
view. The beauty of the review would
be heightened if each school carried
both the national flag and distinctive
banner of its own. The review also
might be made impressive by symbolic
floats: models Of the "old red school
house" aud of the ship of Columbus are
among the appropriate subjects. This
feature, however, should not be at
tempted unless it can be effectively done.
In all cases, let it be said, the fantastic
should be vigorously barred from the
procession.

NEW YEARS SONG.

Come. new year
Ard strew pale roses for thy sisters bier!
Loves are turned cold that at her birth
leaped high.
When thou art old, thou, too, forgot, shalt
lie
With all thy golden glories faded, sore.
Come, new year.
For dear delights are flown, and days are
drear,
For oh, for oh, bleak lie the fields and
bare;
Woe is me-WOc-Winter is everywhere;
With eyes that see not, ears that never
hear,
Sleep, dead year
Come new year,
But silently. Let fall no foolish tear
For cankering care or grief, or joy gone
by,
Since all must yield to age and change,
and die,
With past joys cherished, pefished, days
once dear,
Sleep, dead year
Sleep, dead year.
Soon on spring breast your violets shall
Burst from earths casket for thy pleasur-
ing5

fought with deadly energy. Shortly
after midday Napoleon observed troops
approaching from the direction of
Chain, which he thought belonged to
Marshal Grouchy. But they were
the Prussians under Bulow. 1t was
necessary to detach part of the main
army to hold them in check. Napo-
leon at the time thought that they
were merely detachment ofPrussians
who had slipped past Grouchy and
anticipated no serious interference at
their hands, Grouchy meantime was
obstinately following the retreatlng
Prussians, who were gradually ap-
preaching the battlefield. At Wal
hahn, the cannon of Waterloo were
heard. Grouchy was urged to aban-
don a futile pursuit and march to the
aid of the emperor, who, as the sound
of the battle indicated, was seriously
engaged. That he should have main
tanned an interior communication with
the French right wing, and have been
on the battlefield of Waterloo in time
to act as a buffer for the Prussian at
tack, is the opinion of all military
critics. But he did not, and at the
crisis Of the battle, when the English
were wavering, and victory was in
Napoleon's grasp, the Prussians ap-
peared on the scene.
Panic seized the army like wildfire,
Wellington saw the victory was gained
and ordered an advance along his
whole line. The French army almost
instantly became frenzied mass OF
fugitives, and the sun of Austerlltz had
set forever behind the hills of Waterloo.
To those who care to follow with
critical accuracy every movement in
this memorable campaign. Mr.. Ropes
has offered every facility. The work
is written in a most pleasing style,
every movement is analysed carefully
and critically discussed, and to one
not familiar with the study of military
movements, all his reasons and con-
clusons seem very fair and just. How
ever much his work may fail to win
the title of full excellence from other
military critics, it can not fail to give
wonderfully clear insight into mil
itary moves and methods to all those
readers who will take the trouble to
read it carefully, and if any campaign
is a model one to offer for the study
of person not familiar with such
subjects, it seems that for many reasons
it is the campaign of Waterloo.

formed OF this before he gave GrOuchy
his instructions, and it could have been
easily known at that time, Grouchy
would have been at Waterloo instead
of conducting stupid pursuit which
was leading him away from the battle
field. Here was Napoleon's mistake.
But Grouchy is none the less response
ble. As soon as he discovered the di-
rection of the Prussian retreat, he
should have Immediately seen what
Napoleon would have seen, and should
have SO directed his pursuit as to effect
lively check the Prussians, or join the
emperor at Waterloo
There is not space here to rehearse
that famous battle. 1t is already
familiar story. The details Of the
combat from the time the French can
non first began to thunder in front of
Hugomount to the last hours of the
fatal day, when fresh army poured
its charging squadrons on the almost
victorious French, have been told and
retold for generations.
Napoleon had, as he thought, &C
complished his purpose. Butcher was
separated from his ally. Grouchy
was on his launches, presumably pre-
pared to act as emergencies might
arise, either as all obstruction to the
| Prussians, or as a reinforcement to the
French at Waterloo. To crush the
English before there was a possibility
of Butcher coming up, seize the Brus-
sells road, throw the English into utter
confusion and rout on the forest be-
hind them, capture Brussels, and in
a campaign of five days proclaim to
Europe that he was once more Irwin
chile, all lay within his grasp.
The battle began shortly before
noon. For eight long hours it was
