your fault, not ours, We are doing our

J. K. Hudson and Z. P Nichols Of
Topeka, Kansas, and representing the
Nichols Hydraulic company. returned
from the Falls Tuesday. They claim
their system, with the unlimited power
of the Falls, will raise water over the
rim rock, to irrigate the whole lower

A town has no more right to depend
wholly tor success on its natural advan-
tages than a man has right to depend
on his wite's relations to get to heaven,
1t is the harmony Of the whole people,
on a progressive plan, that lifts town
out of the ruts and puts it on the road
to success. A strong pull and a long
pull and a pull altogether, is what
counts.
John W. Sawyer went to Omaha with
some cattle about two weeks ago, and
while there was taken in tow by some
bunco men. John refused to be taken
in so the services of "female woman"
were secured, and she succeeded in pick
ing his pocket of $40. He then set up
roar, with the result that several arrests
we're made, large amount of gambling
tools captured and one of the toughest
gangs in the-city broken up.
A Frenchman came to this country
and went to work in the lumber woods,
and had never seen a woodpecker before.

ant pecklng OF the busy little bird, he
called a fellow workman an asked:
''What you call Eat sing, she's 20 peck,
peck, peck, all re time on top tree?"
"That's a woodpecker, was the reply.
"Ze woodpeckerl Re woodpeckerl Hully
gee crapeaul She mus have dam hard
face!"
I. 4. Dwight, manager Of the smelter
and large owner Of mining property at
Contact, was in town the first of the
week, on his way from Butte to Contact.
The smelling company has been re-or-
ganized, one of the best furnacemen in
Butte engaged and the intentions are to

There is one matter wherein country
newspaper labors at disadvantage in
the time OF money stIingency, as COM
pared with the manufacturer. The pub
Usher never finds time when he can
shut down his plant and lay off his en-
ployes, excepting when he reaches a
point where he becomes a "busted COM
modify" so to speak. The paper must
be turned out every week and the ex-
pense continue right on just the same
as when money was plenty.
From the present outlook, there viii
be less sheep wintered in Lincoln county
than for some time. The reason
is that there has been exceptionally
heavy shipments this summer. Frank
R. Goodlng, who has heretofore winter
ed large numbers Of sheep, has been
buying and shipping number OF train
loads during the past five weeks and also
shipped large per cent Of his own
focks. The markets are good and the
result is that small holders have closed
out entirely and large holders have cut
their bands down one-half. in order to
avail themselves Of q ready market and
good prices.
