The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1898-09-27

Miss Sadie M. Reber. of Boise
City, who'will teach the Primary
Department of our public school,
arrived in Challis last week.
Miss Reber comes to her new
field of labor highly recommend
ed.
VIM. Smith and Geo. Ellis
were up from Pahsamari last
week.
An exchange, speaking of
millinery store kept by a very
estimable lady. said the editor
was glad to see her stocking up.
The editor says he was never so
astonished as he was after the
paper came out to meet the lady
and have her strike him across
the brow with an umbrella and
tell him he was a liar and she
would tell his wife. He didn't
know what she was mad at and
he had to read the item over a
nundred tunes to see III there was
anything spiteful in it.
And now the festive candidate
is ripe, even up to the picking.
He riseth between times and
putteth on an unctious smile. He
leaneth against the hitching post
in the cleaning and haileth the
passer by. He appeareth on the
street corners and squandereth
many and divers hard earned
shekels in setting them up to
the boys He hunteth mp the
tillers of the soil and telleth them
what a fine crop of alfalfa they
haveth, when 10 it is half fox
tail; he also praiseth up the six
bit cayuse and the crop of spuds.
Verify the candidate is an inst
tuition in the land, and there are
many of him. and his ways are
past finding out altogether.

consisted of speeches, recitations

Stolen Glory.

A gentleman from this city was in
Portland few days ago, and CHANGED
to gointo a saloon near the exposition
building where he observed q large
pepper plant and some large Usage
oranges ornamenting the bar. The
Dallesite recognized them as part of
the Wasco county exhibit at the ex.
position, and inquired of the proprietor
w here he got them. He was. informed
that they came from California. being
something very rare, that could not
be produced in Oregon. The gentle
man from The Dalles is an enthusi-
-astic Oregonian, and never misses an
opportunity to speak a. good, word for
the productiveness- Of our soil and
climate, so he expostulated with the
Portlander and endeavored to convince
him that the peppers and oranges
were grown near his home at The
Dalles, but it was of no avail; the dis.
penser Of beverages had said that they
were from California, and he was de-
termined to steal all the glory from
Oregon of having produced such
splendid plants.

Property owners in The Dalles
should see to it that their premises are
renovated, and that all matter that
will decay is removed and burned. In
short there should be general clean
ing up mania engendered and the city
placed in the best possible sanitary
condition.
At this season the accumulation of
decayed matter, as seen in Uttered
yards or alleys, is an especial menace
to the public health. The numerous
cases of typhoid fever and the general
sickness of the past few months in The
Dalles may be increased to tie extent
of becoming q widespread scourge If
the cleaning up business is not
promptly attended to. Every one
knows that the aroma which some
times "smells to heaven" from untidy
premises is often the direct cause of
sickness in the neigh hborhood. A very

and streets may therefore be the ounce

PEACE .AEGOIlA..
TIONS TO CONTINUE
American Commissioners
Will Avoid a Rupture.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26,-Some ap
prebension has been manifested in cer'
tain quarters as to the possible ad-
verse effect upon the peace commits
| sion at Paris of the upheaval iu
France. 1t has been suggested that
the Spanish cause is in.such shape that
the Spanish government has nothing
to lose and everything to gain by any
change that can be Drought about.
However, it may be stated that in the
opinion of state department officials
there is little danger of the situation
in Paris becoming so acute as to jus.
tify the abandonment of the work OF
the commission. It is confidently be-
lieyed that with a change of cabinet
in France the present disorder will
subside and normal conditions be re-
stored. 1t is always possible that the
Spanish commissioners, in despair
over their failure to force the Cuban
debt upon the. United States in any
shape, may break off the sessions, but
this is not regarded as probable.
1t is expected that when the COM
missioners take the subjects of Porto
Rico and coaling stations in the La.
drone islands, there will be many hair
splitting objections interposed by the
Spanish.
No one knows officially just what
the extent of the United States claim
will be to the Philippines. Admiral
Dewey has much higher opinion of
the Filipino people and their capacity
for self-government than is generally
supposed. He has represented to the
American commissioners that. the
Philippines of the northern group,
meaning by that, first, the people on
the island of Luzon, and after that in
order, Cebu, Pany, Leite, M1hdanao
and Samar, are as a rule intelligent,
practical and far better qualified for
'self.government than the inhabitants
of Cuba.

wa.oo County. Emit Exhibit.

There was no display of fruit and
vegetables at the Portland exposition
that attracted so much attention as
that made by. Wasco county. This
was partly owing to the fact that this
county produces the best fruit and
vegetables of any section. of Oregon,
and partly to the display being under
the management of skillful hands.
Besides to Mr.. Schanno and MIR.
varney, who arranged the display
at the exposition, credit for this
fine exhibit which has been such
splendid advertisement for Wasco
county is due to gentlemen who raised
the articles ana donated them to the
exposition. They are Joseph Stadle-

an extra set of burs. The old style
will not grind corn and cob; this does.
The Old style leaves large amount of

THE STAR Is BEST.


1t Leads An other Feed Grinding Mills
Manufactured.
The scientific and progressive farmer
or stockraiser. is not only a great
reader and observer, but one who takes
advantags.of the latest and most inn
proved machinery, hence he Is ever
alert to supply his farm with the best
and most durable machines, such as
will do the'most work with the least
power, and at-the same time are dura-
BILE, simple and cheap. The machine
that fills all these requirements more
nearly than any other ia its line ever
brought to the Pacific coast is the Star
Feed Grinding Mill. 1t is the one
which every progressive farmer should
own, for theireason that it not only
saves time, toll, wear and tear Of wag-
ons going to and from mill, but it also
saves the farmers patience because he
gets his grain ground to please him
and when he wants it. This is the
reason such progressive and up-to-date
farmers as r. r. Hinton, Mike Gala.

mills for TheDalles, arriving month
late some Of the intending purchasers
were displeased, but when they re-
ce;ved their mills and tried them they
were more than pleased, and are glad
now they waited for them and did not
purchase others.
In placing these mills on the market
here. T. Brownhill has done some
thing worthy of more- than passing
notice, for the reason that they are
sold on positive guarantee to do as
represented. :, They will chop corn on
the cob, wheat, oats, rye, barley, oats,
peas, etc. The sburs are warranted
to,grind from 5000 to 10000 bushels.
They are % inches in diameter. and
so shapedthat there is gradual re-
duction of the feed in place of an in
Simultaneous process, such as is found
in the old style mill. The Ole. style
burs grind from so to $50 bushels of
grain when they are worn out and
must be replaced at cost of 81 so for
a new set. The Star mill can be run
by one or two Lorses, and child can

The apple crop of the United States
is smaller than it has been since relia-

the Orange Judd Farmer. The total

to Maine, and in none Of the states
does the output of fruit approach the
