CONTEST OF THE N. P.
The Hearing Is Continued Until The
9th Of Next Month.
MUCH WILL DEPEND UPON 1T
IL Is the First Protest Filed by
the Raiiroad-Many Witnesses
We're on Hand Yesterday
to Give Testimony.

Missoula, Dec. 1.-THE land ONCE
was thronged to-day with witnesses
and land agents who expected to take
part in the contest filed by the Nor
thern Pacific Railroad company
against the May report of the mineral
land commissioners of the Missoula
district. At the request of Special
Agent Scales, who represents the gov
eminent in the contest. the hearing
was postponed by Register Evans to
Jan. s. 1896. Mr.. Scales stating that
he had been subpoenaed to appear be-
fore the federal court at Helena to-
morrow and would not be able to be
present.
This contest has already received ex-
tended mention in these dispatches
and the public is generally familiar
with its Importance. II is the first
contest made by the railroad company
in connection with the work of the
mineral land commission and upon its
outcome depends in a large measure
the benefit which the people of this
state will derive from the mineral land
act. If the department CONSTITUTES the
provisions of this act i'm the same man.
ner that the commissioners did, then
there will be general satisfaction and
restored confidence in the policy of the
government. But IL a more limited
construction is placed upon these pro-
visions the commissions labors will be
practically valueless.

KEEP ON THE NIGH SIDE.
Naturs Has SET the Rule which Humanity
Mechanically Follows.

From the Milwaukee Journal
The "off OK is the OK ON the right side
of the team. The one on the left side Is
the nigh OK" This comes from the fact
that the driver in this country drives
from the left side. Teams turn out to the
right and this gives the driver command
OF the situation. Flows turn burrows to
the right, so the driver can be on the I'M
plowed land. The terms nigh" and or
apply to any team or riding animal, and
perhaps have a wider application in de-
scrfbing relative positions. Riders always
mount from the nigh side of a horse and
artiherymen ride the nigh horse There
are countries where the driver is usually
On the on side. but 1t is not the rule. In
copying pictures in engraving the right
ana left sides must be reversed ON the
plates to show properly on the print. IL
this Is not done we have what is often
seen, the driver on the off side with his
whip In his left hand. When one is spo-
ken OF as being ION the off side'' of any
question II implies that he is somewhat
out or control, as the off OK is not u.s.
uaiiy as manageable as the nigh one: he
does not come so close to the driver. not

at Yuma recently by boat from Needles.
The army officers had been assigned to
the duty of inspecting the river from the
Black canyon to Yuma, with a view to
improving the navigation They met with
nothing of any interest from Needles
northward. burt on the first part of their
trip they had excitement and danger
enough to last them the rest Of their
lives. r
Their boat. which weighed $50 pounds.
was sent by rail to Peach Springs, and
from there by wagon % miles to Diamond
creek This Is 200 miles, further up the
river than required for their purpose, but
they wanted to see some Of the scenery
of the Grand canyon.
The boat, supplies and men had to be
lowered with ropes down the sides of the
canyon. The discovery was at once
made that the boat was not adapted for
the voyage. being a keel boat. narrow
and heavy. In a short time the boat be-
came utterly unmanageable and every
moment threatened them with death.
They were bumped on rocks, thrown
against the sides of the canyon. drenched
with spray and shot through gorges with
the rapidity of an express train. With
salvation out OF their sight their was ap-
parently nothing but certain death ahead
Of them. Above rose the perpendicular
walls of the canyon thousands of feet
Still the boat kept in the water for II ter
rible miles when a rocky rapid was
reached. Quick as lightning the boat
was tossed bottom upward, rolled over
and finally crushed to pieces. II was use
less to try to save anything else. But,
strangely, none of them were hurt and
they reached a place of safety.
At once their dangerous situation forced
itself on their minds. There they were,
without provisions and shut in to meet
certain death by starvation. They started
down the canyon, hoping to find a trail
by which they could get out. After many
a weary mile the men decided to follow
some of the sheep trails, which were only
few inches wide in places. Success at
tended their efforts. although at times
they hung between water and sky on the
edges of the bluff Occasionally their
strength seemed to fail. but a sight of
that awful chasm below was sufficient.
AT last the top was reached. but they
were delivered from the terrors of the
canyon only to find themselves in a des-
ert. They struck out bravely, knowing
hat they had only to keep going to reach |
ne railroad again. At blackberry station |
'our haggard, ragged, dirty and almost |
'hoeless men dropped down to wait for |
he next train. They reached Needles |
again to rest and refit for the voyage to |

As she recalled the past, and tried to penetrate the future, smile of supreme satisfaction passed over her honest face as she remembered that her life's work would be perpetuated.
 The room in which she sat contained hundreds of volumes of records; and, turning to her daughter, she said,
 My daughter, this room, as you well know, contains the records of my life's work, in which for many years you have so diligently assisted me.
 [" By earnest application you have com- passed my methods; and it is happi- ness to think that when leave, the glorious work will, through you, go on.

 " These records tell of every case ever submitted to me; and it is my wish that the facts they contain shall in time prove a muchlneeded education. to the women of the world"

The Days Advance Was Specially Marked
 in the Vanderbilt Stocks.
 New York, April 13.-Although the London stock exchange was closed to- day, and although in New York itself this Saturday might as well, so far as outside activity is concerned, have been observed as holiday the security mar ket was strong on fairly large volume of business.
 The days advance was specially marked in the Vanderbilt securities. In Lake Shore the recent reckless short sellers, whose ventures were noticed some days ago, were mildly "cor- nered," and the price advanced 3ss points before top level was reached There were smaller and more or less sympathetic upward movements in the other Vanderbilt properties, in New Jer- sey Central, and, rather unexpectedly, in the grangers.
 Outsids, however, of the group first mentioned, trading was generally light. The days movement in bonds was quite as noteworthy as that in stocks; buy ing by houses with foreign connections being in some quarters active Not much popular interest was excited by the bank statement. Its marked in- crease in deposits doubtless reflects the heavy April corporation and government disbursements Last year the deposit increase in the corresponding week was twice as great. Loans are expanding as a consequence, a movement reflected earlier In the weeks money rates. Mon ey holdings increase $1, ,744, 900, due part ly to the factors mentioned above, and partly to net receipts from the interior. This movement of interior currency may possibly be checked, now that the local money market has eased off.
 Following are the closing prices re- ported by Prince & Whitely, bankers and brokers, 46 Broadway, New York, and 15 Center street. New Haven:
