gone on the delinquent list The
main trouble there is that the dis
criminination against silver lower
ed the price of wheat to such a fig
ure that the farmers were left with
no return for their labor. Those
silver miners who were able to con-
tinue at all have still realized some
thing, but the farmers were all in
one boat an that boat waterlogged.

LAST Tuesday was great day on
the Kootenai. On that day titles
to real estate became reality.
The people of Eaton received indi-
vidual deeds to their property on
that day. This is the first decided
land in the North half of Kootenai
County. The credit of bringing
this result about was due to Mr..
William Eaton and his associates.
They put the forces in motion
which brought about the result,
their successors carrying out their
plans and cutting down their just
bills with great ability.

country in general, and 20 the financial welfare
of its proprietor I'm particular In politics IL viii
be strictly independent, but not necessarily neu-
trail. IL entertains the theory THAT while the
leaders of the democratic and republican parties
are honest and patriotic, their financial policy
lin which there is no difference between the two
parties) is detrimental to the interests OF the
West and South, and for that reason the forma-
tion of a new party, having for its principal OBJ
ject the restoration of SILVER to It's proper sphere
is a consummation devOutely to be wished. AS
a business proposition the paper will be conduc-
ted on the principal that one mans money is
Just as good as another's, and it Will assist any

ceive censure or applause as they shall merit.

IT is a singular fact that the
county hardest hit in Idaho by the
financial depression last year was
Latah, the leading agricultural
county of the state. When gold
men were raising heaven and earth
to compass repeal of the silver law,
they admitted that the silver min
ing communities would be ruined
or badly damaged, but insisted
that all others would at once be
benefited. Now, when we come to
compare results, it is found that
the mining counties have struggled
through fairly well, while the great
agricultural county of Latah has
felt the blow much more severely.
People elsewhere have been able to
pay their taxes reasonably well,
but in Latah some 200 names have

LET US CONSOLIDATE.

AT Jne last meeting OF the truS-
tees of the town of Bonnerport, the
incorporation in one political body
of the several organized aud unor-
gained towns of the Bonner's Ferry
community was Informally discuss
ed. The thought struck the writer
that the subject being one in which
every citizen is interested, it ought
to receive the widest publicity pos
sible, and that a meeting to discuss
the matter would be the proper
thing.
The desired end to be accomplish
eb by union of interests would be
to secure more harmony of action
in public enterprises, and on the
broad principle that there is
strength in union to put ourselves
in shape to secure the greatest OBJ
tainable amount of commercial
progress. Instead of wasting our
strength and substance in confic-
ting rivalies, the entire effort of the
people should be put forth to at
tract capital and trade, and to
show up our great resources. The
general doctrine that a house divid-
ed against itself cannot stand APP
plies to communities as well as to
families or dynasties. The corpor-
ate limites should be wide enough
and broad enough to take in every
citizen at the head of navigation OF
the Kootenai river, for to that par
ticular fact the location Of the com
munity is PRIMARILY due.
Besides the main advantage
which | have mentioned, there are
many incidental advantages not tx
be lost sight of. 1t is a we'll known
fact that a half dozen one-horst
towns can command but 1.-THE 0.
the influence welded by one fully
equipped and harmonious town
At present neither Bonnerport
Bonner's Ferry, Eaton nor The
Great Northern Addition has {
population of over 200 people
Mass their respective populations
and the result would be a popula
ton of upwards Of 600 souls, Sucl
a city could speak and make itsel
heard at our county seat, at oul
state capital and even at our nation
al capital. Existing as a multi
plicity of warning and discordanr
settlements, we are not to be hearC
above the din and clatter of our owl
domestic quarrels.
At county and state conventions
delegates, backed by the moral sup
port of united city, such as our
could be, would have only to asl
in order to receive that share Of 20
litical preferment which belongs t,
US, but which is now denied. W.
are now asking to be declared
port Of entry, and we will soon re
new our application for the seat 0
government of a new county. l
goes without saying that our chance
of success in both instances woulC
be multiplied many times by con
solicitation Of local interests.
Then again, one set of our publ
officials, entrusted with the govern
ment of a large community, would
resultin greater economy and great
er efficiency. Attach dignity ant
responsibility to an office, anc
thereby the very best citizens vii
be stimulated to serve. This i
just exactly what would happen b,

most needed. With them would

Cruel circumstances pre- vent my coming out boldly and claiming you as my love before all the world; but have faith in me, darling. as I have in you. Don't even tell your good father and mother too much; though you may assure them of my honorable intentions. Oh, Leoni, you do not know what it is tc be creature of fate! I must wait qui- etly for while, but 1 can go on loving you and trusting in your love for me, unworthy as am; and you may believe that, come what may, am and always will be your own John."
 This and the ring he dispatched by his trusty valet. The letter puzzled Leoni a little, but the symbol of the ring de. lighted her, and, as she was an Italian and mystery in love affairs is not alto gether unknown in Italy, she quietly sewed the ring on the inside of bit o1 velvet she wore around her neck. There it lay concealed, but her heart beat high with joy whenever the sharp stone scratched her delicate throat.

A Bow That Paid Very Well,

4 Kansas commercial traveller, while
taking in the sights in Chicago, visited
one of the principal horse marts of the
city and discovered in the auctioneer,
who was selling beautiful team of car
riage horses, a formerly of Kansas"
livery stable keeper, of whom he used to
hire teams. The bidding was exciting,
and the auctioneer had evidently taken
the last bid and was crying: "Threehun-
dred and seventy-fve! Do hear four?
Going at three seventy-fivel Going! Go
ing! Third and last call, and"- Just
then he caught the eye Of the Kansas
commercial traveller, who gave "Ches-
terfield bow" in recognition, which the
auctioneer took for bid. -Four hun
dred l have Who'll say four fifty2 Go.
ing at four hundred. Going Third and
last call, and sold to the gentleman from
Kansas"
The Kansas c. 7. was in a quandary
how to explain the mistake, when a gen
tleman stepped up to him and offered
$50 for his bargain, which was accepted
with alacrity. When the sale was over
the G. 7. and the auctioneer had cor,
dial meeting, and in the course of the
conversation the Kansas G. I. remarked
that "politeness always pays" and pro.
duced the $50 he had just made as an
evidence of the fact. 1t is needless to
add that there was hilarity galore when
the result of the Chesterfield bow became
known.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat

He Cnme From China.

When Mrs. Booth, the famous lee.
turer, travelled through Maine, her at.
tention was called by an awkward little
boy who shuffled in at a way station and
with the gall of innocence sat himself
down in the double seat that Mrs. Booth
had pre-empted. She smiled and di.
vided an orange with him. Then she
quizzed the shy little stranger in the
rusty garments.
"Do you travel much, my boy?"
"Never's on the cars before but twict.
marm."
"Is that SOP Why, where do you
live?"
"China, marm."
"Chinal Myl Aren't you long way
from homer
"Yes'm, but brought my dinner cos
father said they'd ask like all creation
FOR anything to eat circus day."
Mr.. Booth was very much worked up,
for ne thought flashed across her mind
that this innocent looking youngster was
guying her. She leaned forward and
asked very sternly, Little boy, when
did you leave home"
"This morning, marm."
"What are you talking about? Where
is China%

POULTRY POINTS.

Rotten or musty feed should never be
given poultry.
Hen manure breeds lice. The remedy
need not be stated.
If you have a mongrel flock, at least
get pure-bred cockerel.
The ROSTERS must be kept in good
health and condition. Look we'll after
these things.
Poultry ought not to be expected to do
anything when covered with lice. 1t will
not, il it is expected.
II fowl is sick, take it out OF the
flock, both for its own sake and for the
sake OF the we'll ones.
Upon the whole it is better not TO keep
roosters after they are two years old.
They may be vigorous longer, but there
is danger.
What will prevent hens from eating
eggs2 we are asked. IL they are fed
meat, they are less liable to eat their
eggs. II they persist, cut off the point
OF the bill.
We do not think much OF q fancy
poultry house, unless their owner has
more money than he knows what to do
with. But a good warm house, how
ever ill-looking, is necessity.
How many flocks will be compelled TO
go through the winter without having a
spoonful Of grit given them2 A good
many, and those that are have nothing
with which to grind their food.
The Poultry Keeper gives the follow.
ing remedy for lice on chickens: First,
use kerosene freely over every portion
OF the poultry house. Then dip the hens
once every four days in decoction
made by pouring two gallons OF boiling
water on pound OF tobacco refuse, and
let it cool. Do this on dry days only.
In speaking Of the molting process
Wright says: "a little hemp seed should
also be given every day at this season,
at least TO all fowls Of value, and with
these aids, and little extra meat, or
even little ale during the few weeks
the process lasts, there will rarely be
any loss."

The Labor of n Watch.

The little balance wheel Of a watch
Ubrates five times per second. Imagine
that this wheel, instead of swinging back
and forth like a pendulum, should roll
on continuously over given surface. Its
circumference in a gentleman's watch Of
ordinary size is 2t inches, and it makes
sweep in each direction of abut three
fourths Of its circumference. In other
words, it would traverse in one second a
distance measuring about 81 inches. Ac-
cording to this computation, the balance
wheel Of watch would travel in a year
over distance Of 3,677 miles in round
numbers, and it would take the little
wheel just six years eight months to cir
cumvolve the globe by way of the equa-
tor.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

A Tree Five Thousand Years Old.

On the island of Teneriffe, one of the
largest if not the very largest of the
Canaries, about half way between the
Porto Santo and the summit of the fa-
nous Pico de Tyde, the highest point of
land on the island, stands the consider
able town Of Orotava, famous for its
wonderful dragon tree" the identical
botanical specimen which Humboldt
pronounced "the most ancient vegetable
relic in the world" Humboldt made
calculations on its age in several differ
ent ways and declared that it was be-
tween 5000 and 5000 years old. Sir John
Herschel often alludes to it as the Oldest
tree in the world. For at least 20 CEN
turies the Guanches used the immense
hollow Of this ancient tree as temple Of
worship. Its eventful career was sud-
denly terminated in the summer of 1867,
when it was uprooted and almost entire
ly destroyed by hurricane.-St. Louis

When Jaokson.s Nose Wa, pu1,sd

Mr.. James Carrigan, q venerable Bal
nmorean, was living in Alexandria, Va,
on the memorable occasion when Lien
tenant Randolph pulled President Jack
sons nose. Lieutenant Randolph" said
Mr.. Carrigan yesterday, "who was at
sea in the service of the government,
was at the death of the purser of the
vessel appointed purser, and he was
charged with appropriating 1000 from
the funds. He was tried and found
guilty, and President jackson said to
him, You are not fit to associate with
the chivalry of America Some time
after that it happened that the president
and a number of other persons left Wash.
ington to attend the laying of the cor
nerstone of the monument to Martha
Washington. Their boat stopped at Al
exandria, and Lieutenant Randolph
boarded her and walked up to the presi-
dent and began to take off his gloves.
II wasn't there at that moment, but l
was told that the president made some
remark about there being no need to re-
move his gloves. Lieutenant Randolph
suddenly stretched out his hand and
pulled the presidents nose. l saw Ran
dolph running from the wharf as was
about to go On the boat to learn the cause
of the commotion. climbed up above
the crowd to get look at the presidents
nose, for every one of us felt that the
whole country had had its nose pulled.
Just then man named Thomas said to
Jackson, Mr.. President of the United
States, give me permission, and l will kill
the villain to which l heard Jackson
say, Thank you, l can fight my own
battles. Baltimore Sun.

The Strike Investigation.

By virtue of a statute of the United
States, passed in 1888, | appointed in
July last Hon. John d. Herman, of the
state OF New York, and Hon. Nicholas
5. Worthington, of the state of Illinois,
to confer with Hon. Carroll d. Wright,
commissioner of labor, who was desig-
mated by said statute, commission for
the purpose OF making careful inquiry
into the causes of the controversies be-
tween certain railroads and their en-
ployes, which had resulted in an ex-
tensive and destructive strike, accom-
panied by much violence and dangerous
disturbances, with considerable loss of
life and great destruction of property.
The report OF the commissioners has
been submitted to me, and will be
transmitted to congress, with the evil
dence taken upon their investigation.
Their work has been well done, and
their standing and intelligence give
assurance that the report and sug-
gestions they make are worthy of care
full consideration.
