An official of the Pennsylvania Company,
IN commenting on the ability of the de-
ceased In his particular line, said: when
Mr Becker became connected with the
road 1T was in very crude condition
There was only single track, and that
track so full of curves that the wonder was
how train could keep the rails half
the time Along about 1870 the work of
douole-tracking the road between Pitts
burg and Steubenville was undertaken in
earnest and hundreds of men were en-
pioyed. Mr.. Becker prepared the plans for
me new work and personally superintended
the widening of cuts and tunnels His
plans for the elimination of curves were
most admirably arranged, and to-day when
the observant passenger travels over the
great main line, which is destined I'm time
70 become one Of the most important rail-
roads in the world. he cannot help but
admire the systematic manner in which
Greet obstacles we're met and obviated or
avoided where their removal would entail
a greater expense than the company at
that time could stand. One of Chief En-
gineer Becker's most prominent chara cter-
istics was an honest earnestness in all his
work. He did not look so much TO the
present as 10 the future. and his recon-
mendatfons and plans were all prepared so
admirably that when carried out they met
with the unanimous approval Of all the
head officials"

The throwing of the Louisville. New AL

railroad receiverships- A good deal of

VALUABLE PROPERTY
A Sensational Discovery in a
Coal Mine.
SILVER OF FINE QUALITY
Ore Assaying 600 Ounces to
the Ton.

A sensational mining discovery
has been made in the Black Jack
mine in Oneida county, not far
from Preston, Idaho. In a coal
mine it was found there were rich
deposits of silver, and, according
to the Preston Standard, the dis
covery has created the greatest ex-
element, and the country for miles
around has been located. The
Preston Standard tells the story as
follows:
"The mine is between four and
five miles from Preston and is
owned by Franklin and Richmond
parties. The mine was first locat-
ed as coal prospect and was first
thought to be a good one. II has
been worked off and on. as time
would permit, for several years,
until shaft has been sunk to the
depth of several hundred feet,
Monday last one Of the owners
noticed some rather fine ore on the
dump and he gathered up a small
sack and sent it to Logan to be as
sayed, merely as an experiment.
The next day the report came back
that the ore assayed 600 ounces to
the ton, silver. The owners Of the
mine were greatly excited at this
and thought that surely a mistake
had been made, so another sack
was shipped off to Salt Lake City.
A certificate came back from there
announcing the same result and as
soon as the report got out the coun-
try went wild with excitement.
"A number of old miners have
examined the mine and express
the utmost confidence in it. They
say that all the indications are
most favorable and believe that
The ore is practically unlimited
and that the vein will increase in
size and richness with depth.
THE ledge on which the mine
is located is traceable for fifteen or
twenty miles and the groupings
throughout are similar. 1t is there
fore confidently believed that the
whole region is rich in mineral.
ut is rumored that 100000 had
been refused for half interest and
there is no occasion to doubt the
truth Of the rumor."

Showers of Blood

In the "Annals of Remarkable
Happenings in Rome" mention is
made of IA different showers Of
blood or blood and other substan-
ces mixed, which occurred between
the years 319 A. D. and ITO.
In 1922 we find record of a
shower of blood and dust which
covered the l,rger part of lily. In
1926 a ''snow" fell in Syria, (which
presently turned into large brooks
and pools Of blood" A monk who
wrote in the year 1851, and whose
manuscript is now preserved in
the British museum, tells of ia three
days shower of blood call over
southern Europe" Burgundy had
blood shower in 1861. and Ded-
fordshire, England, witnessed a
similar phenomenon in the year
1850 In 1886 hailstones fell in
Wurtemburg which contained cav
tiles filled with blood, or blood red
liquid. The last "blood shower
on record occurred in Siam in the
year 1902.

Unearthed a Coffin.

A few days ago while aworkman
in the employ Of M. A. Carts was
excayating for the Stahl building
at Main and Fifth street, says the
Union, he found a coffin badly de-
composed and containing human
bones The grave was located un-
der the Albeit building and as the
foundation of the new building will
be lower than that of the adjoining
structure, the coffin was exposed to
vieS when the excavator got below
the foundation Of the Albeit build
ing.
The coffin was about four feet
long and had fancy handles. The
body when inferred had been pack.
ed in sawdust. A piece of blanket
was the only vestige of clothing re-
naming, The location Of the grave
was about twelve feet below the
natural surface Of the ground and
from the condition of the coffin it
is probable that it had been there
for a quarter of century.

Your PHYSICAL Condition

Needs attention at this time. If
you are tired, weak and nervous, it
is clear that your blood is impure,
and without doubt there has been
too much over-work or strain on
brain and body. The course OF
treatment for such a, condition is
plain and simple. The blood must
first be purified SO that the nervous
system, and in fact all the organs
will be fed upon pure blood. In
telligent people without number
have testified that the best blood
purifier and nerve tonic is Hoods
Sars aparilla.

a PuzzIing Proposition.

The directors ofthe Walla Walla
school district have sprung a per-
picking question upon the county
commissioners. In letter adj
dressed to that body, they raise the
point that the penalty and inter-
est on delinquent taxes since the
admission Of the state have been
paid into the general county fund,
while some Of this penalty and in
terest was due to specific districts
By reason of special taxes, other
portions should have been turned
into the general fund, and d por.
ton should have been distributed
in the county. They hold that it
is tho business of thecommissioners
to employ some person to segre,
gate these various portions Of the
penalty and interest on school
