GOLD MINES IN VIRGrNIA.-Captain

He says the sum of 100000 was earn

Blixt's wife was called next. Her
testimony was mainly corroborative OF
Blixt's story of his relations with Hay

held. Coming to the night of the muir

"About II o'clock Harry came in and
went to our bedroom. He said: 'Blixt,

A road machine we'll have The
money has been raised in the Weiser
district and road district number to
purchase an Austin Steel Reversible
Road Machine, partly by donation
and partly by the agreement of a
number to pay their road tax in cash.
The machine will belong exclusively
to the two districts named and will
be used therein. This has long been
needed, and the prospect of better
streets and better roads leading into
Weiser, causes us to break forth
with the JOY of it and sing:
She wore robe of faultless make,
Her hat was such as suits,
Her dashing style-but Mercy sake.
She had on big gum boots!
This was in oden days you know,
Before our streets were clean.
She had to plod through mud and snow
We had no Road Machine.
But nowadays she trips along,
Her dainty slippers seen.
And you can hear her happy song,
Girls, bless that Road Machine.'

For gently now the small waves glide,

another giant mass struck the boat
and half filled it with water he bound

cable parted and in an instant was

floated for two miles, almost without

drifted, hanging in the balance, first

to gain the other shore. She touched,

Weather clear and warm, grass
starting and farmers in the fields
blowing. The snow fall in the coun-
try north, tributary to the Weiser,
has been heavy and abundance of
water is assured, even with our
wasteful and primative methods. All
indications denote a coming year of
unusual prosperity. The past winter
has been as near perfect as possible
for stock feeding and general bust
ness.
Some means should be devised to
