Stage Competition.

There promises to be some very
lively competition soon on the stage
lines hereabouts. 1t will be in full
force after the new mail contracts
begin in July.
Ben Miller has secured the route
between Panaca and DeLamar and
as his pay is only $4,000 month
some outside business will have to
be picked up. He proposes to run
through stages three times a week
between Milford and DeLamar, on
the present route via Panaca and
Desert.
j. A. Denton, contractor between
Milford and Panaca, who will run
via Stateline and Phoebe after July
LIST proposes on the other hand to
give DeLamar passengers six
hours lay over here for rest, and
run them through on schedule time
besides.
During the summer season at
least this warfare will result in q
cut in prices, as without resump.
ton Of operations at Deerlodge, traf.
fic will hardly be sufficient to stead.
lily load both lines.

Eagle Valley District.

Clark and Troutman are reported
to have struck something exception
ally good last week in their immense
property at Eagle Valley District.
Gold is found freely sprinkled over
vast area there and the CLARK and
Troutman claims are generally con-
coded to be one of the biggest low
grade gold propositions found in
this section. At one point the
ledge is 600 feet wide and gold can
be horned from almost any part OF
it. It's a proposition however
which will require large capital to
properly open up on account OF
shortage of water and remoteness
from cheap transportation. though
wood is abundant. The latest find
shows ore that is almost rich enough
to bear the expense of shipment to
Salt Lake markets.

A Few Palindromes.

A palindromist sends us the
following list of words, clipped
from some paper, which may be
spelled forward or backward:
Gamma, bah, bib. bob, bub, civic,
dad, deed, deifed, did, ecce, eve,
eve, eye, cog, gig, gag, leyel,
madam, otto, noon, pap, peep, pip,
pop, pup, redder, refer, repaper,
reviver, rotator, sees, sexes, shahs,
tat, tit, toot."
This leads us to ask: What is the
matter with Hannah, His name
is also palindromical. DR.. Moxom's
family name is equally capable of
being spelled backwards. But can
we not add to the above list? Adam s
alleged remark to Eve, MADAM,
I'm Adam" and Napoleon's cable
was l ere saw Elba," should not
be barred on account of age.
And why not add "Yreka Bakery"
for noticing which on the sign, a
hungry tramp secured breakfast
years ago.

No matter what the gold press
says, it is the duty of the Democrats,
Populists and Silver Republicans to
present solid phalanx against the
bond scheme. If it should pass the
Senate the brokers and goldites will
have won their long-fought fight
against silver.
The friends OF bimetallism insist.
ed that treasury notes should be
issued as a war measure instead Of
bonds. The goldites would listen
to nothing but gold bonds, which
will cost the people $500, 900. 900 in
int rest alone in twenty years.
Who are the peoples friends?
An income tax is the most just
tax. If we must have everything
that is English, let us also have the
British income tax. Such tax
would be rather substituted by the
people for the British gold standard.

Late War News.

The bulletins this week hav ia,t
contained the expected news OF j, Dr.

the Naval Bureau declines to reveal

finding none, he withdrew.

visit his disposition will be to pass a
week here and at DeLamar which
will afford Sunday Services at both
places.

Crossing Turkeys.

How to procure new blood in flock
of turkeys is problem which has not
been solved by farmers who raise the
Bronze or ordinary common birds, as
no kinds of poultry have been so closely
inbred as they. If bird that is one
half wild" can be produced il will be
an advantage. Some farmers make a
practice Of using Bronze gobblers one
year and White Holland the next, as
the great difference in color is the best
evidence that the birds are not akin,
but even then it will be but a few years
before the flock is akin too closely to
both the white and the bronze kinds
When gobblers are procured from dis
lance it is possible that his parents ma
be from the neighborhood to which he
is going Whenever a gobbler can be
secured shat is part."wild" (by Wild
gobbler being used) it will be sure
mode OF securing new blood An ex.
cellent plan is to keep record of the
flock that is from whom procured
select the strongest an1 healthiest hens
and get gobbler from an entirely diff
feTent breed if it can be done lnbreed
ing lie at the foundation of the loss of 4
large number of the young turkeys
which die annually. and if this can b,
avoided it will be a great gain to thos,
who aim 10 make profit from them.

Ashes as Fertilizers

Considerable space is devoted to ashes
as fertilizers in late bulletin issued by
the Massachusetts, Experiment Station.
The bulletin states that lime-kiln ashes,
which contain. 10 one ton, 800 pounds
of lime, rs of potash, and 20 of phos-
phoric acid, might well be advertised
and sold with profit These ashes are
obtained by burning limestone with
wood They are very useful on crops
like clover or grass, and farmers who
live where they can be obtained, can
well afford to pay $3.50 per ton and
haul them home. As for ordinary un.
beached wood ashes, they should never
be bought by the bushel They should
be bought not only by weight, but on
guaranteed analysis of potash and phos-
phoric acid. The Massachusetts, Ex-
pertinent Station chemists found all the
way from one to 35 per cent. of water
in different samples Of such ashes 1t
is folly to buy ashes by the bushel when
20 per cent. or more Of the bulk is moth
ing but water. The potash and phos-
phoric acid found in wood ashes have,
pound for pound, about equal CONNER
cial values Dealers sometimes state
only the sum Of both instead Of the
amount of each This is well enough
in figuring the money value of the
ashes. but the buyer should demand, in
addition, definite statement of the
amounts of potash and phosphori acid
as separate ingredients -Rurai World.

Feeding at Noon.

Those who keep their poultry in yards
give E meal at noon because they are
inclined to believe that three meals
day are essential. The noon meal has
done more to retard egg production
than any other because by feeding three
times day the crop is kept full aud
hens have no incentive to work 1t is
possible to give a noon meal, however,
aud with benefit, but it should be of a
kind that will compel the hens to work
for all that they can get. Ii is to use
millet seed and scatter it over the yard
Do not use to much A gill of millet
seed to dozen hens is amply sufficient,
aud as the seeds are small the hens will
work over the whole yard until they
fud every one Ia this manner the
hens will be kept in better condition,
as they will have to take xercise, and
as exercise is essential to success the
hens will always be in good laying con-
dition provided the morning aud even :
ing meals are not too heavy.
