Cedar-wood is famous amsng farmers
for its lasting qualities, when used for
fence-posts. An interesting proof of
this wood 10 resist the effects of time is
furnished by the Egyptian boats made
of cedar which were found buried near
the banks of the Nile, and which, ac-
cording to recon estimates of their age,
were probably in use 1850 years ago !
The fact must not be overlooked, how
ever, that these boats were covered by
the dry sand of the desert.
The company which purchased the
Adelaide copper mines has let a contract
to haul 100 tons OF ore per day from the
mine to the concentrating plant at uoi-
conda. The contract was secured by
Oscar Hardy of Salt Lake, who is o
on the ground with eighty head of
horses and fifteen large wagons and he
will begin ore hauling very o The
contract price is said to be 81 80 per ton.
The distance which the ore will have to
be hauled is fourteen miles and the de-
livery OF one hundred tons daily az the
concentration involves a large undertake
ing. To take out that amount of ore a
large force of miners will have to be put
to work in the mines, and that very
soon. 1t is not thought that the concen-
traitor will start1up before December 1st.
Silver State.
The writer was in a town in Idaho last
week and while in a business house
there, a Mckinley Republican stepped
into the store and said to the proprietor,
"Well, old man, wheat has touched m
dollar; how Is that for our promised
prosperity" The business man replied;
81 should thank you fellows would be
ashamed to claim credit for the prosper
ity created by the rise in wheat when
that rise is directly due to the famine
and misfortune OF millions of other hu-
man beings in other lands whose wheat
crop has failed. If you we're to say that
God Almighty, for reasons best known
to Him, has caused the wheat crop to
fail in other nations, but has blessed the
United States with a bounteous harvest,
then you would come nearer crediting
prosperity to the right source" The
Mckinley man s%traightend himself up
and filled his lungs and Numbered out,
81 want you to understand that we
have no objection ii God, in His wis
dom, believes it just to assist the Re-
publican party in such a holy and laud-
able undertaking." The silver man lost
his breath for a moment, but said: at

prompt reply.-Ogden Standard.

Obnoxious People.

Wadsworth now has a superabun-
dance of prostitutes and pimps n
thieves and the time has come to call a
halt and reqsest them to move along.
Such people in general are vile enough
but Wadsworth's late influx are the
yilest of the vile and having been driven
from other towns on account OF their
characters and crimes, have forced them
selves upon this small community to con-
tinue their most offensive conduct with
out any regard to law or decency. Ihey
have not profited by the lessons taught
them in other places or else they set
law and order at defiance. Wei into
Sunday morning and at a time when
our people were on their way to church
their ears were greeted by ribald jests
and boisterous language proceeding from
the drunken inmates uf those dens OF
infamy. II is a great wonder to us thai
the citizens who built homes in that
vicinity and are rearing families have
not combined to have those houses
moved to some place less public and
where they will not continually be in
eyes of school children, and OF youths
and maids soon to reach the estate OF
manhood and w%omanhood. The PERM
cious influence of the sight Of those
shameless men and women and their
surroundings and conditions, upon the
youth OF both sexes OF this community
cannot be estimated. The ruination of
young sons leads to the downfall of the
daughters and there is everlasting weep
ing in the household. Put a stop to it
at once. Make those people from
that vicinity. We know it is rather
nasty work but after is done you will be
thankful that your wife a enjoy her
home without the fear that she or your
children are subject to insult at almost
any hour of the day or night.

street arab. In 1860 he was sent to-
Indiana with carload of waits. The
car reached Upton, a county seat 30
miles north of Indianapolis, and n
number of youngsters were committed
to the care of residents. Judge John
Green, a prominent citizen OF the
place, called for the 'uglicst, raggedest
and most frendless' In the lot. Jack.
as he was afterward known, was
promptly presented, and the judge
took the Id home. He did we'll and
was sent to school, then to Harvard

AMERICAN SCIENTISTS IN JAPAN.

Nothing could have exceeded the in
terest and courtesy of the leading in
habitants. The mayor, or chief Off
cer," even gave orders that eclipse
day no fires were TO be lighted any
where in town. No chance smoke
should be suffered to make the air
thick or unsteady. All cooking should
be done the day before, or else only
the hibachi with it's glowing charcoal
could be used; and If dry weather had
prevailed, the streets were all to be
carefully watered against the risk of
rising dust.
Early in the morning, just as the
sun was rising, and sleep had been
effectually banished by the awkward
waltzes of the crows on the shingled
roof over our heads, was the favorite
hour for official calls. A knock pre-
coded the immediate entrance of our
interpreter with members of the board
of education and government officials,
eclipse and to assist in defeating a
new school-houSe. So with ante
breakfast coffee prepared by our smil-
ing cook, and gifts of the interesting
fossils and jasper of the region from
them, these occasions could not fail
to be mutually gratifying.
We received these visitors in the
office or headquarters of the chief OF
expedition. Around the walls, on con-
venient shelves, We're eyepieces,
lenses, electric appliances, few
books, object glasses in their shining
brass holders, levels, transit, photo
graphic plates and other valuable par
aphernalia of an astronomical eXpedi-
ton. During one of these impromptu
receptions at S in the morning, the
mayor, glancing about the apartment,
gave utterance to a long and elabo-
rate speech, duly accompanied by low
bows and the most friendly smiles.
1t must have lost much of it's grace
in translation, but it seemed to be the
effect that on those shelves the chill
dren in former days had been wont to
keep their shoes. He hoped sort OF
reflex action from the wonderful OBJ
iects now filing the same space might
extend to every child whose straw or
wooden clogs had once occupied 1t,
giving them something of the scienti-
fc and devoted spirit that animated
the famous men who had come so far
for a sublime celestial spectacle.
