days rest in seven. By not chipping on
Sunday the city markets are gwen a
chance to clean up the stock on hand
and he ready for new and fresh goods,
perhaps at higher prices. Many manu-
featuring concerns at times limit the
output in order to secure better prices.
II the Melongrowers should refrain from
Sunday shipments would not the effect
be to stimulate the market and secure
better prices? And the day OF rest
would be highly enjoyed by the growers
themselves in that most rushing season
OF the year. We do not believe that q
majority OF the growers now favor this
view, but We are confident that a years
trial Of no Sunday shipments would
prove the wisdom and profitableness Of
the innovation.

ORDWAY.

Rev. G. B. Spencer, u. D., edi-
tor of the Rocky Mountain Chris
ton advocate, delivered his lee
ture on "Where to Win" at the
church Saturday evening before a
large and very appreciative audi
ence. The lecture was full of
good sound teaching, presented in
an interesting manner, and was
illuminated and enlivened by sto-
ries and illustrations which stirred
the hearts of his audience or
moved them to laughter. DR..
Spencer is a natural mimic and
was able by his actions as we'll as
by his words to convulse his hear
ers with laughter. Every one
who heard the lecture went away
we'll satisfied with the evenings
entertainment.
Prof. Day of Manzanola. Pres.
of the Otero county Sunday school
convention, was visitor here
Sunday.
DR.. Spencer filled the pulpit
both morning and evening last

Chicago Inter-Ocean: OF all the perches

and southern Arkansas. Given slowness
of current. depth and plenty OF room,

the Red river hundred miles from is

The Bodcau fisherman uses no float.
The lake bottom is variable. There may
be ten feet of water and three yards furth-

down TO cold water with his minnow and
keep him there swimming. One man will
hook his minnow through the back just

method. because the white perch, for some
reason, prefers to take his minnow head

mouth He has struck it from a distance

BUFFALO HUMP DISTRICT.
More Reports From This New Dis
trict

/ The Boise Statesman has the follow
ing interesting news concerning the
Buffalo Hump country:
: R. E. Dawson and George Yahraus
arrived in the city last night from the
Buffalo Hump country in Idaho coun-
I ty, where such phenomenally rich
quartz strike was recently made. They
were at Florence when the news of the
strike came out. They heard of it at
o'clock, and by they were on their
way to the scene. They located what
they believe to be a very promising
claim.
Mr.. Dawson says there are between
400 and 500 people at Buffalo Hump
now and more were coming in daily.
The country is staked off for miles
around. The lodges are all very wide
and the indications are they all go
down. although there has been practi-
cally no development work as yet to
determine that. The ledge on the origi-
nal discovery is 80 feet wide on the
surface and pokes its nose into the air
several feet. The ledge, he says, as
says $500 to $500 clear across, while
some Of it goes as high as s72O.
Asked why this ore-in-the-air dis
covery had not been made before, Mr..
Dawson said it was because it was so
big people who for years had Travelled
over that. country would not look at it,
considering any time spent in investi-
gatink lodges of apparently barren rock
that protruded above the surface would
be lost. There has been a trail over
Buffalo Hump for years and many peo-
pie have passed over it. No one
thought of stopping. Just now, how
ever. says Mr.. Dawson, it is enc of
the hottest trails in the state.
