obituary.

Lorinda Allen, born September
9th, 1894, died at Garden City,
Utah, Nov. LIST, 1897. The deceased
with her husband arrived in Salt
Lake city in 1862, on their way to
California. After resting q short
time, they concluded to stop for
the present, and finally they con-
cluded to make it their future
home. Mrs. Allen was for many
years president of the Garden City
primary association and faithful
teacher in the Sabbath school. A
short tilne before she died she
made q request that A. Galloway
should be the speaker at her funer-
al services, which was complied
with. The speaker read the first
four verses Of the 7th chapter of
Ecclesiastes. He also made n few
quotations, from P. Pratt's "Key to
Theology" A large turnout of the
citizens of Garden City and other
places attended the meeting and
quite large concourse of friends
of the deceased accompanied her
mortal remains to their last rest
ing place. Elder Robert Calder
pronounced the dedicatory prayer
Rustic.

The EXAMINER unders lands that
many of the farmers about George
town and in Nounan valley will
use cats to fight the squirrels next
year. TO this end they are gath
ering up all of the members Of the
feline tribe they can find, with the
intention of feeding them until
spring and then turning them loose
on the destruction Of squirrels. II
this scheme proves a success, and
many think it will, q place will be
found for the otherwise useless cats
now running about this city. The
experiment will be watched by
every farmer in the valley.

a sac Affair.

Last week We mentioned the
sudden death of VIM. Young, who
was killed at Fossil. The accident
took place Saturday evening while
he was on his way to Montpelier.
1t is now known that he was to
meet his intended wife here Sun.
day morning, and they were to
have been married that evening.
The prospective bride came only
to learn Of his death a few hours
before Mr.. Young had in HE
possession q handsome diamond
ring for his bride. No trace has
so far been found of this or any
other ewelry or money he had. In
fact his body and clothing were
evidently completely consumed in
the fire that followed the wreck.

Toapo Banks.

The ten national banks in the
state of Idaho make an aggregate
showing equal to the best Of any
section of the United States, as app
pears from the reports received by
the comptroller of the currency in
response to the call for statement
of their condition made last month.
The average reserve held is 4O.48
per cent. The total resources of
the ten banks has increased from
3,360,739 in July last to $685.
448 at the present time. That the
banks are doing more business is
shown by the increase in amount
of loans and discounts from 81
036, PA to 81 ,066,699. The amount
Of individual deposits in the banks
has increased from $2,16S, 100 to
$2,329,344. The lawful money re-
serve in the banks is $276,O92, Of
which $214,634 is specie.
There has been q remarkable
falling off in the amount Of gold
coin held in reserve in the banks
and corresponding increasein the
amount of silver coin. In July
last the ten banks had on hand in
gold coin $3.50, 1877, whereas they
now have but sS5,4O9 in the yell
low metal.
The Idaho banks have due them
from other national hanks, not re-
serve agents, $3.50, 100; from state
banks and bankers, $176,953; and
from approved reserve agents,
$644,733. They owe TO other ma
tiOnal banks $12,744, and to state
ban ks and bankers $22, 994-Wash.

The boys had a great time on
Halloween night. They carried
off gates and went so far as to
break windows and destroy other
property. As a result about ten of
them were gathered in by the
police and they have been busy
ever since setting up the out houses
they overturned, hunting up lost
gates and making good the prop
erty they destroyed Tribune.
The Halloween youngsters here
have not repaired the damage they
did on that night and we under
stand warrants will be sworn out
for their arrest this week, unless
they get around and f matters up.

as to assessment Vuork.

The land Office in Spokane is in
receipt Of two opinions from the
commissioner OF the general land
Office relating to the assessment
work on mining claims and work
necessary to be done to secure
patents, that apply to Idaho mines
as we'll.
The latest opinion is in reference
to assessment wolk on claims that
are contiguous and held in common
and is as follows:
awhile the annual assessment
work required for the maintenance
of possession under Section 1924
United States Revised Statutes
may be placed on one of number
Of contiguous mining locations
held in common and constituting
one entire claim, yet the amount
expended must equal 500 annual
~ for each CT the locations so held
and worked in common,
There has been considerable dis
pute ever this proposition in con-
nection with the securing of pat
ent. The general land Office has
held that $500 worth of work is oil
that lie necessary on y group of
claims to entitle the holders to a
patent. Some have been OF the
opinion that it was necessary to do
$500 worth of work on each or for
the benefit of each claim in a
group. The opinion recently re-
ceived from the commissioner is as
follows:
"The conclusion is apparent that
an expenditure of $500 on one or
more Of several contiguous mining
locations embraced in one applica-
ton for patent is sufficient il made
for the convenience of working or
developing all the Claims included.
This must conclusively appear,
however"
This places the matter where it
is often cheaper to secure a patent
than to do one years assessment
work on a group. A group that
comprises 20 claims would require
an expenditure of $1,000 worth of
assessment work for one year,
while $500 worth of work would he
sufficient to secure a patent if it
could be shown that it was done
for the purpose Of developing or
conveniently working all the
claims. Both decisions were rem
dered by Commissioner Binger
Hermann.

New steel.

Superintendent Van H9usen was
in Boise the other day and the
Statesman reports him as saying
that by the end Of this year the
road'bed would be supplied with
new 70-pound steel rails from Poca-
tello to Granger and from Poca-
tello north to Ross Fork. For a
distance of % miles, from Med
bury Hill to King Hill, new rails
will be laid this year. Next year
the management propose to have
new rails from Reverse, at the top
OF Medbury Hill, east to Granger,
q distance of 225 miles. The fol-
lowing year the entire road will be
equipped with the same quality of
rails, making it second to none in
the west. The present rails are
52-pound ones.

nNInd Death" For Wolves.

A young cattleman of Wyoming has
hit upon remarkable scheme for eXter-
minating wolves and coyotes. His secret
is contained in a small vial of yellowish
brown liquid. His mode of extermina-
ton is to trap wolf or coyote alive and
inject three drops Of the poisonous fluid
beneath the skin. This operation he re-
peats three times in II hours, and then
releases the animal, green eyed, with
dilated pupils frothing Mt the mouth
and raviug mad. 1t lives from 30 to 40
hours after being liberated, but, like IA
dog with hydrophohia, it bites every
thing it meets, and every other wolf bit
ten becomes inoculated aud IN this way
the poison spreads, and death follows at
rapid rate The Big Horn basin papers
have published reports brought in from
the range Of the death rate among the
coyotes being enormous from new dis
ease never before heard of, and the in

which has a wonderful power of eat

and n remarkable visitation of this wind

December Professor Ward, writing in
Science, calls attention to the close re-
semblauce between the chinook winds
of the Cascade and Rocky mountain re-
gions and the celebrated fphn winds Of
the Alps. Both blow down from the
mountain ranges, and both produce eff

What Is "a Sailing Ship?

The average landsman may be sur
prised to hear that there is doubt as TO
what constitutes sailing ship IN the
eye of the law. This question was raised
W London the other day before a divi-
sional court Of admiralty, Mr.. Commits
sioner Kerr held that a barge which had
a jury sail up to assist the rowers was
a sailing vessel and held her i'll fault
for Il collision which occurred in Bark
ing creek between her and sailing
barge, on the ground that she could and
ought to have kept out of the way. Her
owners appealed, and it was contended
ON their behalf that she could not rea-
sonably be considered as sailing vessel
because a vessel could only be sailing
vessel when it could comply with the
rules laid down for sailing vessels, such
as lacking to port and starboard. Be
sides, if she were Il sailing vessel she
would have to carry sidelights, and IA
canal barge with sidelights was thing
unhoard of The court did not think il
necessary to decide this point because
the appellants barge, having motive
power of two knots, could be kept out
of the way by porting, and so dismissed
the appeal with costs The judges added
that when the question of what was IA
sailing ship cane to be decided it would
have to be very carefully considered, as

who have been insisting that the
United States should jump into free
coinage at once without any attempt
at international action have con-
stantly asserted that it would be i'm
possible to get the cooperation OF
European nations, and especially
that Of Great Britain. but recent adj
vices from London indicate that the
efforts Of the commissiol are not
only likely to be successful as to the
calling of conference but that it
will probably be held in the United
states and attended by representa-
tives from all the great nations Of
the earth.

A few years ago the idea Of loading

by means of two small motors would
have been looked upon as absurd. This
was done the other day III Tacoma Two
thousand tons of cargo have frequently
been loaded or unloaded in day by
steam power, but the important factor
in the record breaking achievement at
Tacoma was that the conveyer was
worked by electricity. With the appa-

speed is desired, two conveyers are en-
ployed This was done when the record
Of 2, 800 tons in "a hours was made.
