MUST HAVE ELECTRICITY.
Little western Towps Haul Dynnmos
Hundreds of Miles.

The far western part OF the United
Statcs-that is, the part west Of the
Missouri river-is a country full of en-
trrprise. Fancy a Russian, or even
German or British town of 800 inhab-
itants, ordering an electric light plant
which would have to be hauled over
mountainous bride paths for $50 miles
from the nearest railway station before
it reached its destination!
Yet this is what the town of Lander
in Wyoming, had the courage 10 do,
each mule employed taking IL days to
make the round trip Between Bitter
Creek. on the Union Pacific railway,
and the town whose progress was APP
parently impeded for want Of the latest
and most expensive means of artificial
illumination.
The town Of Sheridan, also in Wyo.
ming, had only 600 inhabitants, and
when it discovered that an electric light
plant was essential to continuance
of its sclf-respect Accordingly the
plant, packed in very small pieces, was
hauled 200 miles and Sheridan was
happy.
Boise City, Idaho, as befits town
puifed up with 5000 inha abitants, has
rot only an electric light plant but a
system of trolley cars. Moreover, as
some natural hot Aprings happen to be
close to Boise City, the citizens heat
their houses with the hot water from
them, and even raise early spring vege-
tables by using the not springs for rri-
cation purposes
The three small mining camps OF
Occur DAlene, Wallace and Wardner
use electricity for Lighting purposes all
the year around, while their available
water power is used to run the mills for
stamping ore. But in winter, when the
main water supply is frozen, the elec
trio current is connected with the
stamping mills, and lighting and power
is furnished by lavish expenditure o.
coal at $40 ton.--Cassier's Magazine.

To the south the sands stretched
widely fiat for miles, a superb high

the north were the cliffs, jutting prom
ontories of red sandstone, honey

be entered only at the lowest tides,
and were favorite haunts of the beg
In their dim rScesses were exquisite

fish, echinoderms, monstrous abalones
and other marels. One cavern, to
which the Portuguese had given the
melodramatic title Pirates cave, had a
mighty fascination for Mark. He
listened to the yarns of the ancient
mariners and believed implicitly, with
the glorious faith of youth, that chests
of doubloons, dead mems bones and 9th
er relics of Spanish buccaneers were
awaiting discovery. Upon the Pacific
slope, especially in springtime, tidal
waves are not infrequent and Mark had
received strict orders from his mother

commands whenever opportunity

considering how plentiful bears are

Great Waste of Words.

There was once mathematical tutor
in one of the English universities who
was in the habit of boasting that he
neither knew nor cared TO know any
thing about poets or poetry and con-
sidered it all "a lot Of impractical rot V
A certain brother tutor, anxious to con-
vert him, gave him the famous "Charge
of the Light Brigade" to read. The
mathematician took it up and began
TO read aloud, thus: "Half league
half a league, half a league" Then he
banged the book down, eXclaiming, im-
patiently: well, if the fool meant a
league and half, why on eaath didn't
he say SOP"

Santiago, Porto Rico, Manila and Havana
will each be Given Turn.
Washington, June 2o.-Secretary Alger
stated today that from the present out.
look he teels certain that the army and
navy forces under Shatter and Sampson
will complete their work by the end of
the week and that by that time Santiago
will be under the stars and stripes.
Skaters troops undoubtedly arrived at
their destination yesterday and will oc-
cupy two days in getting ashore and
making the eight miles march to Sant.-
ago. The work of debarkation will be
slow on account of the lack OF facilities.
Skaters plan of campaign is to COM
pei the surrender of the city and the
Notifications and then attack the fleet in
the harbor The navy will not take much
part in the ARRAY except to guard the
entrance of the harbor and prevent es
cape of any Of the smaller craft.
Reintorcements numbering at least
1000 will be sent to Shafter at once. 1t
is the intention of The president and the
military authorities to delay the Porto
Rico campaign until the fall of Santiago
is assured. Itis expected shat the cam
paign on Porto Rico will be Under way
by July. After Santiago Porto Rico and
and Ma Mia are all in American hands
and Spain still refuses to make terms,
the attack upon Havana will be begun.
