! RACE OF rooTsaLE~s MEH.
Coming Reservations Will have q
Masticase BY Artificial Means.

There is reason TO apprehend that
unless some cataclysm occurs to ar
rest the progress Of civilization sur
descendants will be as toothless a.
Europtolemus, King Of Cyprus, des-
cribed by the historian Piiny as re-
duced to masticate his food with .
structure Of solid bone, in lieu Of
teeth.
This. at any rate, in the opinion
Of the New York Tribune, is the in
ference to be deducted from the statis-
tics recently published by order Of the
British Parliament, demonstrating
the alarmingly small number Of cases
Of in anyway good dentision among
the English people. Of 1000 chill
dren attending the London public
schools there were only 7O7 who had
sound teeth; while during period Of
three months 506 recruits were re-
jected BY the medical department Of
the army for purely dental reasons.
OF course, part of this state Of af-
fairs is due to neglect Of the diges-
ton, and of the teeth themselves, d
fact demonstrated by the statement
that of all the girls who entered do
mes,ic service from the London public
schools last year fve-sixths had never
even heard Of such q thing as tooth
brush, AN assertion that has led the
educational authorities to institute in
many Of the metropolitan schools
what is known as the toothbrush
drill"
Decay of teeth has always attended
the advance of civilization and each
barbaric invasion has been followed
by recovery of sound teeth in the
old world. Under the circumstances
it might be worth while to consider
whether the repeal of the Geary law
and the opening up of the United
States to a pacific invasion on the
part of the Chinese might not go far
to improve the American jaw, which,
according to medical experts, is in an
immeasurably worse condition than
that of the English-a fact prob ably
due to our superior civilization.

an old sovereign, and sovereign, to-
gether with $500 in gold coin, was
found on young Nesbi,ts person.
Many of the witnesses for the de-

sovereign young Nesbitt had when
he was searched is the one that was

Mr.. VIM. c. Hilands, a resident in
this community for six years and a
man we'll known and highly respect
ed, died at his old home in Tionesta,
Pa, OF the 9th inst. of Ia grippe.
Mr.. Hilands has spent many years
on the Pacific slope, having gone to
California in the early SOS, where he
became identified with mining inter-
ests which engaged his attention for
the most part up to the time of his
retirement from business. In 1863
he came TO Boise Basin and was one
of those who aided in the develop
ment of that wonderful gold mining
section. Coming to Mountain Home
in the spring of 1886, Mr.. Hilands
took up his residence here and made
this place his home until the spring
of '02 when he went East to live, but
visited here and in California the past
summer. Mr.. Hilands was brother
of Mrs. NJ. G. Smith and an uncle OF
a. G.. Smith, both residents of this
place. Deceased was a widower and
leaves no family.

the PowEa OF THE rUrURr
Salt Lake Tribune.

Salt Lake Tribune.
The men Of Arizona have scheme
to build q big steel dam in the canyon
Of the Colorado river Of suffi-
cient strength to resist any pressure
Of summer foods, part Of the water
thus confined to be used to operate
turbine wheels to drive pumping ma
chinery elevating the remainder 10
the plain above. In that way they
hope to irrigate thousands and mill
ions Of acres Of land, and hope to
make Arizona the garden spot Of the
world. That reminds us that the men
who have the franchise for taking
power from Niagara river expect to
make FIVE great stations in New York
--one in Buffalo, one in Rochester,
one in Syracuse, one in Utica and
the fifth in Albany-and from power
supplied by Niagara Falls to send an
electric current to each Of those cities
which will be sufficient to propel all
the boats un the Erie canal and a
great number Of manufacturing es-
adjustments besides. No factories
of any kind are allowed around the
Falls, and SO this power is to be Oh
tanned by tunneling under the Falls
and then boring up to the .urfsce. 1t
is most audacious scheme, hut the
engineers in charge say that there
is nothing which Is not entirely feast
BILE about it, and expect in q few
months to have tteir works in full
swing. Tho theory of the modern
engineer, as was outlined by Ferris
in an interview some months ago, il
that as the fuel of the earth becomes
more and more exhausted, men
will turn more and more to the
water power of the earth to obtain
power for the worlds use, end as the
cost OF transmission, or at least the
loss through transmission, has withir
the last eighteen months been re-
duced more than fifty per cent, ths
belief is that in little while the mat
ter of distance will not count very
much, and SO the rivers of the lane
will run the trains on the railroads
and the factories, and wherever ther,
is waterfall there will likewise b.
the apparatus to put that fall to worl
and make it supply men with the pow
er they need to carry on their works
Considering that it is only ten year
since the first electric motor was pu
to work, it is not impossible to sup
pose that in twenty years the day o
the locomotive will be pretty wei
over, aud that one stream after an
other will be levied upon to suppl,
the power to carry on the interconti
mental commerce of this country, I,
haul the cars, to turn the wheels ant
the looms, and make a new agen

Liberty cannot long endure in any

If the whole volume of money in

then double. If it was increased one
fourth, prices would rise one-fourth.
John Stewart Mill.
If Congress has the right under the
constitution to issue paper money, it
was given them to be used by them
selves, not to be delegated to indi-

Falling prices, misery and destruc-
ton are inseparable companions. The
disasters of the dark ages were caus-
ed by decreasing money and falling
prices. With the increase of money,
labor and industry gain new llfe.-

One of the most distressing cases
we have heard of is the terrible ex.
per'ence OF young Harmon Smith, the
l9-vear old son Of H. G. Smith, Of
Auburn, Star valley, Wyoming. A
week ago last Monday his father sent
him horseback to Wooley's ranch
near Soda Springs, to collect some
accounts there. Successful in his er.
rand he started home the Friday fol.
lowing. II rained all that dav and
the boy was drenchcd to the skin.
The snow was. so deep that he ONLY
succeeded in going eight miles that
day. 1t WAS bitter cold that night.
and with no place to shelter him, the
boy spent all night kicking tree to
keep himself from freezing to death.
AS soon as lie could see he started
out next morning, hungry and be-
nnmbed with the cold. His mare
was also suffering from the same
causes. The rain of the day before
and the cold night, had crusted the
snow, and all hc made that day was
three miles. That night was an aw-
fnl experience in his life. Through
the night he got SO cold that he had
no ambition to move, and in the
morning his feet were frozen stiff.
His marc would not move, and he
started to make one more struggle
for life. He started to walk, but he
suffered SO with his feet that he did
more crawling than walking. Just
at dark he reached the old salt works
on Stump creek, Star valley, having
gone seven miles that day. Fortu.
nately some men, out hunting, were
camping at the old hut. and they at
once did all they could for him. All
they had was a six-pint bucket, and
they got some cold water and put his
feet in it. The pain was more than
human heings can imagine. On
Monday they hitched up their sleigh
and brought him to Montpelier
where surgical aid was summoned

time of going to press, but it is feared
