Curbing and Parking.

One feature of the grading of Idaho
avenue is attracting considerable at.
tention among property owners and
if the example is followed it may dc
much to improve the appearance Of
our village streets. G. R. O, johnson
has caused the gutter in front of bis
residence to be dug in such a way
that q curbing of elm plsnks could
be put in, and better still he has put
in curbing of this kind. This leaves
from four to six feet between the
sidewalk and the curb, which, as il
contains the trees and is protected
from travel by the curb can easily be
made pretty strip of turf. Other
property owners along Idaho avenue
have signiied their intention of put
ting in q similar curb, and when once
it is introduced on this one street, il
is easy to see how the curbing and
parking will pecome popular among
all the property owners.

Back From Klondike.

John w. Anderson, who started fol
Klondike in Otto Olsen's party, re.
turned last Friday night and walking
out home, surprised his family. He
has had enough. He sold out to his
comrades forty-tive miles up the
mountains from Port Valde, started
back, leaving them pressing onward
in good health, and fair spirits and
with provisions for nearly year and
a half. They sent their regards to all
their friends. Anderson said he saw
no gold. no one who had seen any
and but few who had seen any who
had seen any who had seen it. He
admits there is some gold in the Dsw.
son district, but thinks the amount
there has been magnifed many thou
sand times. His trip, cost him a lit
tie over $500. but he is that much wiser
and so glad to be at home once more
that he does not care. He will now
plow and plant his farm in peace,
comfort and content, believing that
he has q better thing than any Klon-
diker.-Benson Times. w..

Captain Dave of the Piute tribe
of Indians is character in his way
and has achieved considerable repu-,
tation as a wit. Civilization has done
much for Captain Dave. Among 9th
or things it has taught him the YAM
kee way of replying to one question
by asking another. This is we'll il
lustrated in the story which The
Chronicle Of Virginia City, New,
tells:
Some white men were joking Cap
tain Dave the other day about his
claim that he could tell all the vari-
GUS tribes Of Indians. But as usual,
when one attempts to get ahead Of
Captain Dave. they came out second
best. One question put to him was
as follows:
Captain Dave, doesn't Shoshone
look pretty much same as Piutef"
Yep"
Doesn't Shoshone dress all same.
as Piutei"
Yep"
"Then, when Shoshone talks Pi-
ute, how you tell hint"
when Dutchman talk English,
how you tell hint" came the laconic
but pertinent reply in faultless
pronunciation.

"Bununer.S

When people are trying to be very

the use Of the word hummer, :"

Is not even an "Americanism," but

In the form "bummaree" it ap-
