The scythe OF Time, all d~eyonring. has
made IT'S vicious sweep, and we are sadly
reminded that Death is no respecter Of
persons. As NasoRs, we are Taught TO
keep in mind the solemn fact that we
are mortal, and that earthly life to us
should be all the more earnest, because
there is no knowledge, no wisdom, no
work, no device in the grave whittier
thou goest." Indeed, the Pale Reaper
comes SO often when least expected that
he will not allow Us to forget him. The
flush OF health glows upon the cheek
today, but tomorrow the light has gone
from the eye, and the temple of clay has
crumbled and fallen. The breath of
Death may destroy our brightest earth
~ hopes, but no force can prevent the
immortal mind from recalling into life
the beautiful pictures OF our friends
photographed thereon. The sigl, for the
touch OF a vanished hand, for the sound
OF a voice that is still, may disturb US in
the nighttime OF grief and sorrow, but
memory has a stcrelIouse in which We
may find the loved one and her deeds of
beauty and Joy.

married to Brother John Watson Arthur

Of friends who mourn her departure

How Mines Distribute Money

11OW N1A0S 0AoCAAOOIo NAO0Oy :
There are now over 1900
men employed in the mines of
the South Fork of the CGur
d'Alene, besides several hun
dred cutting wood and tim.
bers and doing other outside
work. Including these out
side men, the daily pay roll
coming directly from the
mine owners is little, if any,
short of $500, while the men
working for wages in all other
lines, including reasonable
compensation for those doing
business on their own account,
will run it above $4,000.
Besides paying all this, and as
much or more to railroads and
smelters for freight and treat
ment on ores, the mine owners
pocket dividends amounting to
about the same sum. Unless
something unforeseen occurs
the product this year should
rather exceed $15,ooo,ooo, of
which roughly one'third goes
for labor and supplies, one
third for freight and smelter
charges, and one-third for
dividends, Improvement and
development. Much of the
sum spent for wages goes to
develop new properties. There
is a big point here for the
kickers on Camas prairie who
object to the expenditure of
county money on roads to
the mines in this county.

Term of Court Postponed.

In order to accommodate the citi-
zens of the county who were Pc
titioning to submit the question of a
removal of the county seat to the
voters of Idaho county, at the next
regular election in November,
Judge Piper appointed April IL,
1898, as the time of holding the
District Court, but that purpose
having been abandoned, the hold
ing of the term of Court has been
postponed until June ~, 1898.
The term would not have been
placed as early as April, except for
the agitation of the Court House
matter, because in that month the
SHOWS have not yet melted, and
the weather and the roads are SO
bad that it makes it very difficult
and inconyenient to reach the
Court House, As the terms of the
Court in the other counties in the
district has been set with refer
ence to the term appointed for
Idaho County in April, it was i'm
possible for Judge Piper to hold
the term sooner than June. Ii
the appointing of the term in
April and also in June, Judge Pi-
per has used his utmost endeavor
to accommodate all concerned,
and promote the interests of the
people, and the convenient dis
patch of the public business.
