just how the little grub incased in
the jumping seeds manages to move
them is what as good authority as Mr..
A. s. Fuller. writing about them In
American Gardening, cannot explain,
for, as he remarks, the grub cannot get
grip upon anything outside, conse'
quently employs some principle of me-
chanics which has not as yet been fully
explained. Shut man up in triangu-
lar box, and he would find II beyond
his power to make jumps the full length
of his body and carry box and all, but
this seems to be very easy matter with
our curious little saltatorian. There ara
also jumping oak gals produced by u
fly (cynips) and jumping cocoons, and
all probably employ the same means OF
propulsion.

mouths, one TO each ajutage, and ex.

from them, and the whole apparatus
will revolve, gradually drawing off the
water from the vessel above, till the
horizontal straw sinks down so low rs
to rest on the edge of the vessel. Then,
by reason of the increased friction, the
revolving movement will stop, though
the water will continue TO flow till it

useful for obtaining water power on

with perforated oorks, as Al and Bi,

The straw tubes, which are rather too
fragile for practical purposes, may he

you should slightly flatten the outer ex-

the size of tho outlet and thereby check
the rapidity of the flow of water.

Conclusions arrived at by an Austrinn
society Of engineers and architects, aftor
a series Of experiments made last viii
ter to determine the action of cold on
masonry, are that in brick masonry laid
in frosty weather mortars into which
any part Of lime enters should not be
used. Roman cement mortars behave
fairly well under such conditions, and
portland cement mortars give good re-
suits. The use of warm water gave
somewhat better results, and salt ma
terially increased the resistance to frost.
With rubble masonry, using either sand
stone or limestone, lime mortar was out

A. A.F.PARKER. EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.
OFFICIAL PAPER OF IDAHO COUNTY.
Entered at the Post-oiiice at Grangeville
daho, as second class matter.


The decision has finally been
made to locate the packing house
at Cottonwood, as the eastern di-
rectors who are not cognizant of
the situation, have deemed it un-
desirable to change the original in
tentions of the company. Had the
selection of the site been left to
Mr.. Dunham's judgment he would
unhesitatingly have selected
Grangeville, but his Judgment in
the matter has been overruled.
However, the mere location of the
establishment is matter of small
concern, since the whole of Camas
Prairie will reap the benefit. 1t
will make mighty little difference
to our farmers whether their hogs
are slaughtered at Cottonwood or
Grangeville. The great central
fact that home market and cash
market is to be provided for six
thousand fat hogs every year ought
to be cause for general congratula-
tions and rejoicing among the en-
tire com munity, and the establish
ment ought therefore to receive
unanimous support from all the
people of all the sections.
On behalf of the citizens of
Grangeville we extend to our
neighbors at Cottonwood congrat-
ulations on their good luck in Sc
curing this enterprise for their
town. 1t seemed at one time as if
its location elsewhere was an as
sured fact. but kindly fate came
to their rescue, and we are not
going to belittle the enterprise or
work the "sour grapes" act because
the packing house didn't come our
way. Already the good effect is
apparent in the revival of the boom
i'll Cottonwood. Rolin G. Brown
will AT once erect large livery
stable and barn, and many other
improvements are projected by
other property owners. A board
of trade has already been organ
lied and an advertising pamphlet
for distribution back east is TO be
gotten out. 'Rah for Cottonwood,
and 'rah for the packing house.

Elk CifU Ne,Cs,

The petition to the board OF
county commissions praying for as
81 tance to complete the wagon
road from Newsome creek to Elk
CITY was readily signed and much
work subscribed. 1t is being cir
culated by B. B. Stuart. We are
willing to profit by the experience
of others who have been desirous
OF boom and who have not asked
for repetition of those stirring
times. Our faith in the old fable
OF The "hare and the tortise" has
not been shaken and it is only by a
long pull, steady pull and pull
together, that will cause us to
reach the goal.
News has reached here that the
Unltod States government is max
ing arrangements to send an ex-
ploring party into the Bitter Root
mountains and the Clearwater
country to make scientific re-
searches and a map of said lands.
1t is probable that Elk City will be
the starting point and the country
lying to the east will be the OBJ
Jective point; it is inpenetrahle at.
present and no human tongue can
tell what wealth of treasure
awaits the prospector as mile by
mile the barrier of fallen timber is
cut in twain.

ErfcHSice Mining UOrE.

Lewiston Tribune:
w. X. Duval spent a few days in
Lewiston this week receiving a
large consignment of material and
supplies for the mining operations
OF his company on Salmon river.
Among the material is several
miles of pipe with which the com.
pany are going to prosecute what
they have been informed are
impossible mining operations. !"
One of the alleged impossibilities is
the recovery of fine gold, another
to conduct water across hog back
and over Salmon river. Though
fully informed in advance of his
difficulties, Mr. Duval believes he
has one of the best propositions in
the country and has already put
$4,000 in the enterprise. He does
not expect to attempt to clean up
for several weeks yet. The claim
is about twelve miles above the
mouth of the Salmon river where
there is "A bar very rich in fine gold.
The ordinary process of rifles and
amalgamation will first be tried
and If not successful the latest
patent device, which cost $50, 900,
will be used. The gold is there
and MIR. Duval says he will surely
save it. He is now work ing twen-
ty-five men and he expects to put
the next ten years in on his claim.
Water is piped five miles and car
ried by Il viaduct over Salmon river

Reservation Notes.

Inquiries are pouring in daily
into our real estate bureau concern.
ing the Nez Perce reservation. ho "
land can be taken, the terms, and
how to reach the country, etc. etc
The latest information points to a
very speedy opening. The checks
for paying the Indians may arrive
in Lewiston any day, or they may
be delayed; but in another month
we ought to see the white man oc-
cupy the land of the Nez Perce.
The land is to be opened to set
tlement at the price of 1915 per
acre one half to be paid in two
years from the time of entry and
the second half in five years, or at
the time final proof is made. Land
must be selected and lived upon
tor five years. in the same manner
provided for ordinary homesteads
on the public lands at the present
time.
Lewiston is the FIRST point to be
made in coming to the country.
At Lewiston is the United States
land office where all entries must
be made. 1t is six miles from the
reservation line and the principal
town near it. 1t is a substantial
town of 1000 people and is
reached by the Northern Pacific
and Union Pacific railroads.
Grangeville, 63 miles southwark
from Lewiston, is the largest town
in the great Camas Prairie country.
1t is eight miles south of the reser-
vation line, and the great bulk of
the reservation lands are most cas-
lily accessible from it. Some of the
largest stocks of general merchan-
disc in the state are carried by
Grangeville merchants, and the
town is the general trading place
for all the Indians in the eastern
half of the reservation. Hundreds
will thus find Grangeville the best
point to start from when they
strike for the reservation. We of.
fer good cheap hotels and abund-
ance of livery stables where saddle
horses, rigs and drivers can be had
at any hour to drive visitors onto
the reservation. There is keen
competition in all branches of busi-
ness and larger stocks to select
from than in any other town this
side ofSpokane,and newcomers can
therefore trade to better advantage
here than they can elsewhere.
Other towns near the reserva-
tion are Cottonwood and Denver,
Juliaetta and kendrick, and some
sections of the reservation are most
eaisly reached from these points.
But all newcomers should make
Lewiston their initial point. Lew
iston is the gateway to the reser-
vation country, while Grangeville
is the distributing center for it. A
daily line of four-horse covered
coaches run between Lewiston and
Grangeville; and arrived here you
VIII lind competent and well posted
men to inform you about the reser-
Vation country.
