figured ON the towns future and

were the times when Orbison NOV
ed his emporium to the land of
promise, when Cassens .enthroned
his Queen and fed the multitudes,
when Stromberg led the Mercantile
band. When the Coyote Quartette
was in the heyday of its mad ca

dickered in real estate and erected
buildings, when the fame and
greatness Of Nezpercc was spread
abroad by the News, when Rantz's

a memory, when Miller swung his
bellows and started the "Anvil
Chorus" when Mcleod ''rakcd

tracted buildings by the score.
Those were the days when Bright

work and perseverance, when the
incipient street squabble died for
lack of nourishment, when Graham
east his fortune with the town,
whom StOrz sold meats and "tOok

Their Great Mistake In Putting Fancy
Prices on New Idess.
A new article of domestic hardware
has been put on the market which is
staple in all families and completes with
. similar utensil which Is sold for 10
and 20 cents. The price Of the new ar
ticle is o.. Before It can be in demand
and GENERALLY adopted, to the displace-
ment of the old utensil, great deal Of
work will have to be done, which Is
very much hampered by the prohibi-
tory price put upon the goods. The
number Of persons who will be willing
to pay the price Of four or five Of thu
old style goods for one Of the new style
will not be large, we think, and n wiser
policy would have fixed lower price.
This leads us to say, says the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, that every year there are
large numbers of similar articles put
on the market, which would have o
large sale il they were sold Mt mer-
camille prices. by this We mean con-
sideration of the first cost Of the goods
when ready for delivery to. jobbers, the
jobbers' profit and the retailers M
we'll added, for these things are con-
sidcred by buyers. both wholesale and
retail, before there is any demand for
goods. LAST week we went into store
where filter was on sale. Upon ask
ing the price of one Of half gallon
capacity, we were in formed that it was
eco. 1t was plain casting with no 1T
tings or fixtures and with some porous
material inside of it of no particular
money value. The casting may have
cost SO cents, and On outside figure for
the cost of the utcnsil would be 81, yet
$50 was the price to the buyer. We de.
murrcd Mt the price and gave the same
reasons for SO doing that are given
above, but the sellers argument in IA
vor of the high prlce was that it would
filter some fabulous number of gallons
of water per day. This had no connec-
ton whatever with the cost Of the
goods; frying pan will turn out 500
pounds of cooked material a day and a
25-cent faucet will permit thousands Of
gallons of water to pass through 1t
daily. These arc the functions of the
article sold; they arc expected to be CT
fcicnt, but there is no reason for add
ing 5000 per cent. to the cost of them.
The fact that articles nre patented
leads many persons to feel that the pub
lie expect to pay stiff prices : such
things, but VIC believe this to be CHROME
Gus. Nowadays those who have money
to spend consider prices very carefully,
and II they arc unreasonable they
simply go without the goods

The "Born-Tired" Mao,

The fellow who was BON very tired
grew more and more weary as he went
through the haps and mishaps Of child
hood, the adolescence OF youth and the
early period Of manhood. AT middle
age he was the tiredest man then liv-
ing. At fifty he was so utterly worn
out with the simple process OF existing
that it occurred to him to calculate
how many brcaths he must draw II he
went on living for twenty years more,
and, being n man in fair preservation.
there was good prospect of his reach

years of average mankind. Well, the

NEWS OF IDAHO MINES.
Successful Operation Of the
Large Drcdgc at Warrens.

Successful Operation Of the
Large Drcdgc at Warrens.
Boise Statesman.
The company organized in Phil
adelphia with George ii. Roberts,
of this city, as manager, succeeded
in getting the large dredger in
operation on its placer ground at
Warrens short time since. They
have Just made a clean up of $780,
which was the result of less than
O weeks run.
The company spent the greater
part Of last summer in getting
their machinery to Warrens and
placing it in position for active
work, and owing to the latcness of
the season they, were only able to
make a trial run Of o few days be-
fore closing down for the winter.
The company owns large area Of
placer ground on which the pay
gravel averages a depth of Is feet
in many places. The gravel con-
tains from 20 to % cents per CUBIC
yard. "
The mines can be worked with
facility by means Of the dredger
and much of the placer ground can
bc handled in this way that could
not otherwise be operated. The
mime is supplied with an album
aancc of water.
The drcdger has been closed
down for the winter but will be
put in operation again in the early
spring and run continuously during
next summer.
c. NJ. Greer of Philadelphia, q
representative Of the company, has
just made an investigation of tht
property, and he is well satisfied
that the company has made Q
profitable investment.

COLoRED LIGHT ON PLANTS.
IT, Eject n Some Instances Of Great
Dsn~nt.

lts Eject n Some Instance Of Great
Dsn~nt.
Although the store of human knowl.
edge on the subject Of the attributes Of
colors is gradually growing. and We
have even gone SD far as to differentiate
the sounds caused by the falling of 4
ray OF sunshine on cloths. of various
tints, comparatively little Is yet known
OF the physiological effect of color on
human beings. The votarics Of the
'sbluo glass craze" which came into
vogue some years ago, who firmly be-
licvcd that n bath in q food Of colored
light was the finest restorative that
tired and ailing humanity could have
recourse to. may possibly have been
wiser in their generation than those
who dcridcd them. Whatever the ef-
feet of colorcd light on individuals may
finally be determined to be, its in9u.
ence on plants is now unqucstionably
proved. The use OF glass of green
tint has for half century been one Of
the peculiar characteristics Of the plant
houses ut Kew gardens, near London.
In 1880, the experiment was made of
substituting white glass for green In
the cast wing, of the tropical fern
house. This was the result of the OBJ.
scrvation of the successful cultivation
by an amateur horticulturist Of ferns
with full exposure to the light. The
Improvement in the growth Of the
plants was remarkable. In 1899 = por-
ton of the west wing was also re.
glazed, and the new temperate fern
house WIS wholly glazed with white
glass. The rcsrl. las been SO marked
ly beneficial hat it las now been de-
tcrmincd to abandon entirely the fu'
ture use of Ercea glass. ~

ARTIFICIAL SILK.

Can BE Manufactured.

Process Recently Talented by Which Il
Can BE Manufactured.
The silk worm has formidable rival
IN the parsonage of DIR. Lehner, of Zu-
rich, who has patented q process and
formed company for the manufacture
Of this commodity.
by q simple chemical and mechanical
process the inventor has succeeded in
converting wood pulp, cotton or jutc
waste, when mixed in the form of n
liquid product, into IN unbrolscn thread
of even diameter and any length. The
thread, as THIS spun by the mechanical
silk worm, can, says the Scientific
American, be twisted into any desired
diameter.
The features Of the process are the
never-failing supply Of raw material,
uniform price of same, and the cheap
production of the silk.
In dycing and weaving no special
treatment is necessary, and the shades
obtained excel in brilliancy and deli
cacy those of the finest natural silk.
Its low cost will open up large field
among manufacturers, and an unlim.
tied variety of ornamental and decora.
tive results may be expected.

ELECTRIC HCUcE FOUNTAIN.

from Room to Room.
An electrically operated fountain, de-
signed as an ornament to q drawing
room, and brought out in Saxony Ger
many is something of novelty in the
United States, but the combination is
perfectly practical one, and, being
self-containcd, can be readily removed
from place to place, adding distinction
to various parts of the house, if de-
sired, says the Washington Star.
This ornament consists of tasteful
ly decorated flower stand, with a
small aquarium and spouting
jet of water. Under the level of the
plants and flowers Is a square zinc tray,
containing an electric motor attached
to a small pressure pump. The zinc
tray also acts rs n reservoir for the wa
ter, and the pump, operated by the
motor, keeps a constant circulation
through the aquarium and fountain
above. Current for the motor is OBJ
tanned from powerful battery cell
placed on n separate shelf beneath the
zinc tray.
The battery used is new, and its con
struction is not without interest. 1t
consists Of brass cylinder, taking the
place of the ordinary battery jar, and
an inside brass cylinder, the latter be-
ing perforated, to promote the action
of tho battery fluid. A porous cup
with o zinc pole is placed within the
