small percentage Of dry holes thus far

as the galSst for investors in the entire

Waverly enjoys the distinction OF
having wells in les limits that are get
ting oil from three distinct sands.
First eomoa the Cow Run sand at an
average depth below the surface Of 500
feet, Solne OF tue beat holeS in the held
are in that sand, and are producing
from fifteen to several hundred baEEals

productive OF the three sands. The
lowest producing sand is the Beroa Grit
Mt 1900 feet, but up to date only one
we'll has been driven to this sand,
simply because oil in paying quantities
was in every instance except the ops
mentioned struck in the two upper
sands.
A Wheeling organization, the Enter

enough 10 get fifty acres on the Hunter
farm, near Waverlv, adjoining the Uhl

PACK TRAIN KILLED.

Last Saturday, Geo. Morrison of
Juliaetta received a telephone mes
sage from Fred Hallett at Grange
vile stating that their pack train
carrying provisions, etc, to their
placer mine on the North Fork had
met with an accident in the noun
tains which resulted in the death
Of fifteen or twenty of the pack
horses and the decentralization of
IA bout as many more, says the Mos
cow Mirror. Several weeks ago
they started out with 10000 pounds
of freight and the horses being un-
used to travelling in the mountains
would not follow the trail, giving
the men in charge great deal Of
trouble. In order to avoid the
scattering of the animals the men
tied them together, head to tail, and
it was while in this condition in
passing over steep mountain side
that one of the horses fell and took
the train with it. Mr.. Hallett re-
turned to Grangeville to secure an
other outfit and notified Mr.. Morri-
son who informed Mr.. Spotswood.
Messrs. Hallett & Morrison were
taking in supplies enough to last
until next season and expected to
employ a number OF men during
the winter in opening up the ground
and bringing water onto it. The
accident it is feared will delay, if
not prevent the delivery of the sup
plies to the destination until very
late and possibly not until next
spring.

FOR TIE-MAKERS.

A considerable stir was occas-
1oned here during the past week by
the presence of a United States
marshal who was seeking informa-
ton concerning the cutting of rail
road ties from government lands on
Deep Creek during the past season,
says the Garfield Enterprise. A
number of Garfelders were en-
gagged in cutting ties there, paying
stumpage for the privilege. But
some felt that there might be a
doubt as to whether they had not
paid someone who was claiming
what did not belong to him, and
there was some anxiety as to where
the lightning would strike. So far
as W. learned. however, none OF the
Garfielders are implicated in the
offense. But there are good many
of our tie makers who stand good
chance to be called upon to serve
as witnesses. The names of those
suspected of @ppropriating govern
ment timber have not been made
public.

NOTES FROM GENESEE.

Considerable excitement in Gen

came noised about that man had
been shot. Henry l.. White, while
fourishing a 41-Colt's revolver, &C
cidently shot a stranger by the
namo of Arthur Sheen. The ball
passed through the left wrist and
penetrated his groin. The stranger
is under DR.. Commits care and it is
thought he will recover. Mr.. White
Immediately gave himself up to
Marshal Steltz.
Mr.. George Bauers, living several
miles west of Genesee, met with a
serious accident a couple of weeks
ago and died few days later. Mr..
Bauers went to the hayloft to get
some hay for his horses and in
jumping down off, from ladder
landed on a pitchfork which was
sticking in some hay, handle up
wards; the handle penetrated his
rectum fosr or five inches, and then
turned and entered the flesh until
it struck the hip bone. He suffered
much pain for a week then relief
came by death. Mr.. Bauers was
thirty-seven years old, we'll TODD,
and leaves behind wife and four
children.

THE CHINESE LETTUCE.

What we call China Lettuce did
not come from China, says the Lew
iston Teller. AS early as 1868 it
grew on the commons near Boston
and is described in Gray's manuel
of that year. The correct name is
prickly lettuce and it is native of
Europe. 1t has been troublesome
weed in some of the Eastern states
for many years but has never been
regarded as a very serious pest.
This prickly lettuce has become
generally distributed throughout
the west and when it is known that
one plant will seed an acre the diff
ficulty of combating it will be COM
pretended. 1t grows most vigor-
ously in cultivated fields, but it is
found in meadows, pastures and on
the worst stony wastes. There
seems to be no soil too sterile or
hard for it to grow and mature an
abundant crop of winged seeds that
are waited on the winds far and
wide. 1t grows to a height of eight
feet in the grain fields and it will
grow in the hardest road where it
is pastured down to the dust and
even there bear large crops of seed.
1t accommodates itself to many
conditions of soils and seasons.
Wherever a green leaf is left above
ground there too will be left blooms
and seeds, However it may be said
in it's favor that prickly lettuce is
good forage plant. It's value for
fodder is not much less than clover.
Horses, cattle and sheep feed raven
eusly upon it in all stages ofgrowth,
in either the green or cured state.
Since the bunch grass was plowed
up there has been constant spec
ulation upon the subject of pasture
plants. Have we not found it in
the prickly lettuce? If this plant
with it's tenacious habits and pro-
life growth promises the necessary
qualities for producing meat, milk
and butter it may have brought us
blessing, not from China but from
Boston.

another term had she wanted it.
She was one of the best if not the
best primary teacher ever employed
in Genesee. The scholars all loved
and respected her and made great
advancement under her instruc-
tons. The News is sure that the
Pullman school board has made no
mistake in securing the services of
this young lady.-News.

THE GRAND CHORUS.

a Notable Musical Programme for the
Fiesta.
II the plans of Ia fiesta music
committee are carried out with tho same
thoroughness that hos characterized
them 80 far, the musical features of the
fiesta will form one of its greatest ettrac-
tons.
The idea of a grand orchestra and
chorus, the members of which are to be
drawn from all parts of Southern Cali
iornia, is an ambitious one, and will res
suit in that art taking long strides forr
ward.
1t will be fitting accompaniment OF
the broad scope given to the fiesta thia
year.
The committee proposes to spare
neither time nor money in the training
Of an orchestra and chorus which will
render beautiful selections at concerts to
be given during the carnival week.
There is no lack of musical talent from
which to draw, and the plan has already
aroused the interest of the unsteady in-
clined.
Correspondence has already been
commenced with soloists of distinction
with view to the securing OF one or
more who will lend eolat to the perform.
sRces of the big chorus. The committee
desires information from all over South-
efn California of musical organizations,
bands, choirs and others who would like
to participate in this notable musical
event.
A successful consolidation OF the music
lovers of this section is the aim which
the fiesta committee has before it. They
have made carefdl estimates OF the cost
which auch a unique and extensive plan
will necesaitate, and the general COM
mittee has received it with hearty ap-
probation. Like all the committee
work so early in the action, their plans
are subject to revision and improve

The OPEN DOOR.

DIR. Chspman's EvanRsliatic Service at
tho Praabytsrian Church.
Last night at the First Presby terian
church, DR.. Chapman sgaia conducted
an evangelietio service, the attendance
being about the same as on previous
nights. The prssoher's text was: "Bs.
hold, have set before thee an open
door and NO man can shut it."-Rev.
Iii. 8:
This verse stated the true condition of
each one of ne as to all the Lord would
have ua do. 1t must be remembere
that there ia an open door provided for
all, and If it is not taken advantage OF
il ia not the fault OF divine providencs.
All provisions for our religious posi-
bilities are OF the free grace of God.
They are amply sufficient. Thess pro-
visions OF divine grace for our religious
possibilities are forever above and be-
yond every earthly hostility. To be in
sin Is worse than to be in poverty,
friendless, disgraeed or ill. 1t il the
most deplorable thing that could happen
to anyone. And the escape from It is
through the open door which God holds
90 an entrance into the saving light OF
Jesus Christ. As to the latter part of
the verse, mo man can shut it," How
emphatic it is. No earthly hostility has
any effect ON this open door, for God
keeps it open. Take advantage OF this
open door, 80 that when you meet your
King the open pages of the book be
clean and pure.
