S ALUBRIA.

As ! write the name a reminiscent
mood comes over me and recall the
days and years of long agony
first visit to this valley and to Idaho.
We, (Cal White and MYSELF passed
through on a November morning. A
dense fog shrowded the valley and
as we passed the site Oh the present
town only the shadowy' outlines of a
house or two we're visible and the
whole aspect was as depressing as
could be imagined. These feelings
we're not entirely dispelled until be-
fore the blazing fire place and around
Etfre hearthstone Of a happy home II
Salmon Meadows, we sat and hear(

Stuck on the Fnt Lnnd

Mr.. r. W. Sweet returned Sunday
from the upper country. While in
Salubria Mr.. Sweet closed a contract
with the citizens to build creamery,
price $500, he secured splendid
location, and says the creamery will
be running by Nov 1st.
Mr.. Sweet said. "This is certainly
a splendid county, the resources are
unbounded and undeyeloped, l have
travelled in 26 different states and
territories, and if were young
again, had seen as much as have,
and knew what l do now, l woulc
unhesitatingly choose Idaho as my
home" Mr. Sweet says Salubris
valley is rich in good land, and ful
of good people, in all of which th'
SIGNAL heartily concurs.

KILLING AT MEADOWS.
Tom Rice Killed by Enos Smith
Trouble of Long Standing,
Caused by Jealousy.

On the afternoon Of the 18th, a
little after 5 O'Clock, in the new town
ut Meadows, Enos Smith shot and
killed Tom Rice. The particulars, rs
near as could be learned, were as
follows:
The two men had been rivals for
the hand of an estimable young lady
Of the Meadows. Smith was the
successful candidate and about four
or five weeks ago married the young
lady. This made Rice furious. He
got two pictures OF the young woman
and put one on each side of his bri
die. Smith saw them and took then
off Rice swore he would kill Smitl
on sight, and on the afternoon of th'
| 18th inst. met him in the new tow
about 100 yards from Jones u Skog
saas' saloon. Rice attacked Smith
striking him in the mouth, whereupol
Smith drew a gun and fred. Ric
staggered and fell, expiring almos
instantly.
Smith was arrested and brought t
Weiser and is now in the county jai
He feels pretty bad over the deplori
BILE affair, but says he could hay
done nothing else. He has employe
Frank Harris to defend him.
On the order of Prosecuting A
torney Hayes, the preliminary exam
nation of the defendant will be bel
before Probate Judge Jeffreys 0
r October 3D. Sheriff Kerfoot is no
in Meadows after the witnesses, abol
eight in number.

Mr.. Horace Newman and Maynard
Bixby's Trip.
GAZED ON FAT LAND BEAUTIES.
Mr.. Newman Writes Up the Impressions Re-
ceived and Tells Of Progress Noted.

Now days when it is known that
some one has just returned from
trip to he north country, say Rapid
river, Seven Devils, Warren, Flor
ence, or general prospecting trip,
lie is always met with the inquiry,
"What did you see?" and, GLOW
are the affairs of the country progres-
sing?" The person interrogated gen
orally lies about it either directly or
by withholding the facts. And also
you can occasionally meet people who
do not wholly credit what is printed
in the newspaper, for it does seem
that those who are in that business
regularly cease to regard the Ninth
Commandment with proper venera-
tion, regardless of the dire penalties
its violation inflicts; but as this is
for the SIGNAL, the "only religious
journal in Idaho, and not being my
self in any way connected with the
newspaper business, either directly
or otherwise, l can calmly anticipate
that what follows will not be regarded
with the least suspicion Chat is pro-
vided that any one of the SIGNALS S

suppawn, samp. suocotash

The colonists quickly learned from the
Indians to harvest, grind and cook the
corn in many palatable ways, and the
foods made from maize have retained to
this day the names given by the aborigi-
mes, such as bominy, pone, suppawn, .samp,
succotash. Salnp and samp porridge were
soon favorite dishes. Samp is Indian corn
pounded to coarsely ground powder in a
mortar.
The laborious Indian method Of prepar-
ing maize for consumption was to steep 1t
in hot water for ID hours, then to pound
the grain In mortar till it was coarse
meal. 1t was then sifted in small basket,
and the large grains which did not pass
through the primitive sieve were again
pounded and sifted.
Samp was often pounded in primitive
and picturesque Indian mortar made of q
followed block Of wood or stump of a
tree. The pestle was a heavy block of wood
shaped like the interior Of the mortar and
fitted with handle attached to one side.
This block was fastened to the top of q
growing sapling which was bent over,
and thus acquired the required spring back
after the block, or pestle, was pounded
down on the corn. Pounding samp was
slow work, often done in later years by
unskilled negroes, and hence disparaging-
ly termed lingering" corn. After those
simple spring n1ortars were abandoned
elsewhere they we're used on Long Island,
and it was jestingly told that shippers in
fog could always get their bearings off
the Long Island coast because they GOULD
hear the pounding OF the samp mortars. -

from his brother Captain Frank H. New
comb. of the Hudson today and it con-
tanned the following interesting para
graph under date of May 10.
s'We had a hot old fight at Cardenas,
and it Is a wonder that the Hudson
escaped at all. We were in the thickest
part of it many times. between the Win
slow and the shore and the shells went all
around US. without doing any material
damage. They knocked few holes in
but not man was hurt. This Whining
ton was practically not in it, being much
farther away. have no doubt our six
Founders did as much damage as her four
inoh she'll. In proportion to the size of
the vessels engaged, it was SO far the hot.
