oREASA oPAL FIELDS.

Mrs Lnnehan, who has recently
returned from her ranch near Ore
ana, brought here large collection
Of beautiful opal specimens found
about three miles from 0reana and
Immediately adjoining the ranch
enclosure. Not long since little boy
discovered some very pretty stones
in that section and took them home,
and upon examination they proved
to he opals. Since then these pre-
cious stones have been found on
Black, Hart and Picket creeks, COW
ering many miles Of ground. The
specimens which Mrs. Linnehan ex-
hibited to US are Of various hues.
Some present peculiar play Of
colors of delicate tints and others
are like the red and yellow of q
flame. and still others of a trans
parent milky appearance. In looks
they are far superior to anything
we have seen coming from the
0paline fields. A number of these
specimens have been sent 10 New
York to be tested for their value
and doubtless after returns are re.
ceived there will be big rush from
this place to the Oreana opal fields
which are only about 35 miles from
Mountain Home.

DRIVE, PUSH. ENERGY.

Many have an idea that towns
grow because a necessity for them
exists. They think that IL makes
no difference what efforts the people
make, no odds what steps are taken
to boom town. no matter what
sort Of people dwell in town, the
place will grow il its natural advan-
tages are sufficiently attractive and
men can make something by living
there. The fact is most towns are
made, they do not grow. They are
built through the energetic efforts
Of the people who desire to see a
town push on. Take fifty small
towns and two or three of these in
time become large and important
places while the others move along
ia the same old rut. The town that
goes ahead is driven onward by its
citizens. The men of the town see
that line Of road will benefit them
and the road is built; they mark
that a bridge is needed TO draw
trade and the bridge is constructed.
They Observe that -four mill, or a
eannery. or wooden mill has proved
a drawing card in some other town.
and they subscribe money To have
one Of their own. \ newspaper is
a necessity and the money is raised
to start the paper A church or a
:hool house is needed, or will draw
more people, and the building is
soon erected. In this manner the
town is constantly being forced on
ward. The editor desires to get up
a fine edition Of his paper. showing
the most enterprising men, and
these men put their hands into their
pockets and pay for the work.
| Look the State over. this portion
at least and see. il you had few
thousands. where you would place
it. Would il be in town where
no money is spent in advertising,
in booming in pushing. building up
and driving forward? No. indeed,
you would go to the locality where
the business men are wide awake,
alert, full of drive and push and
energy. So we say town is made,
il does not grow Of its own accord,
hut il 10 built up by the well direct
ed efforts Of its leading citizens.

A PIONEER noe GONE.


"Topsy is deadp were the word,
uttered in mournful tone by Man
uel Comes to his friends last Tues.
day morning. She was found dead
early that morning at the rear Of
his uremises, having, il is presumed,
suddenly gone hence by the old age
route. Topsy was the pioneer dog
Of Mountain Home. She had no
particular owner but was petted by
all and allowed to go hungry by
none. She was 3 years 7 months
and three days old and had been a
conspicuous object on our streets
since her ''pupcy,"
Mr.. Comes procured a box, lined
it on the outside with black cloth,
had suitable inscription put upon
the lid, placed the body in child's
express wagon and Topsy laid in
state" in front Of his place of bust
ness until high noon. A grave had
been dug near the fiag-pole in the
plaza, and at IL o'clock Q number
Of little boys harnessed themselves
TO the wagon and quite procession
formed and followed it to the grave.
Fred Major volunteered to perform
the last sad rites at the grave and
he did the job we'll. He said:
my friends-we are assembled
here to perform a duty to one who
has been long with us in all the
happy sociabilities Of life--eyen unto
the closing Of the last saloon each
night. The familiar grunt Of dear
old Topsy, with her kind look as
she wagged her tail with friendly
recognition, will be heard no more
A pioneer has departed from our
midst and happily greeted visitor
enters under canopy Of dog-bliss
1t is said that death is simply q
change to a higher state. From
the deeaying grain springs forth
a nobler growth--from the worm
unfolds the bright winged butter
flv-from the hidden bud springs
forth the blooming rose-and let us
hope that from an insignificant
poodle Topsy is now undergoing a
state of transmogritication that will
eventually end in her becoming a
sublime, magnificent, mastodoniap
Newfoundland, and that her beau
tiful little neck may be encircled by
a big brass collar set with Owyhee's
brightest opals. Therefore. | ex-
ultingly ask "Oh, death, where is
thy bite?"'
Mr.. Major wound up his eulogy
by reading beautiful poem writ
ten by Byron upon the death of his
favorite dog, which the BULLETIN
reporter hoped to procure for publi-
cation, but the speaker as SO over
come with emotion that the briny
tears rolled down his cheeks with
such profusion that he used the
paper for wipe and the sheet was
washed away, down Canyon creek
the sparkling stream upon the banks
of which lie the remains of poor
old Topsy.
