Saw the Slwashes Dance.

According to custom the Siwash-
es usherd in the new year with
week of dancing. For that pur-
pose they erected a mammoth
teepee, near the Mission. about two
miles below town, and danced ev-
cry night ills week. This perform
ance is quite sight TO behold, and
just where the amusement comes
in for the Siwash would be difficult
to conceive, but it seems to be a
hiyu event with the native just the
same. The Siwash does not ex-
actly "join hands and circle to the
left" but a number of them do
circle around in ring, jumping up
and down and giving vent to all
the hideous sounds the Siwash
voice is heir to, the more of the
hideous the more "skookum" the
event to the Slwash.
Quite a number have been down
to witness the sights this week, but
the largest party went down last
night, among whom were, Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank r. Little and children,
Mrs. T. w. Mclaughlin, Mrs. VIM.

The Owyhee county bond case is
now before the supreme court and
is attracting much attention. The
republican legislature that enact
ed the law seems to have been as
incompetent as republicans pro-
claim the last legislature to have
been and failed to pass the law
according to constitutional require
ments to make it valid. 1t is de
fective on the same points as the
celebrated fee bill. From a brief at
hand we note that Attorney Gen
eral Mcfarland will endeavor to
uphold the bond law on the princi-
pie that the law having been in
force three years, and important
property rights having accrued
under it, the supreme tribunal
should refuse to declare the law
void. This seems to be good logic,
but there are said to be attorneys
who are very much opposed to the
court adopting this rule. They
clsim that the prineiples laid down
in the fee bill offers a more certain
rule of Interpretation to the laws.
1t would seem, however, that owing
to the loose methods the republi-
cans adopted in passing laws, estab-
fishing precedents for other legis-
latures to follow, the rule proposed
by the Attorney General will have
to be adopted, or we will be left
without adequate legal machinery
to carry on public business.

Fortress Taken by One Soldier

1t doesn't always take whole army to
capture fort or a man-of-war. The Earl
of Peterborough took Barcelona, with u
garrison Of 400 Spaniards with the aid of
one man. Leaving his army besieging
Madrid, he rode with an aide-de-camp right
up to the gates Of Barcelona and command
ed the Spaniards to surrender or he would
raze the town to the ground within eight
hours.
This threat was absurd, as his army had
more than enough to do already at Madrid.
But so great was the fright of the garrison
at seeing the grim earl before their gates
that they capitulated and marched out of
the town.
Another strange capture of fort was ac-
complished by an intoxicated sailor during
Englands war in India. The British army
had been all day besieging a very strong fort
on the River Hooghly, and they would have
had to spend many more days before they
managed to take it, as the inhabitants had
plenty of food and ammunition. During the
night sailor named Strahan strayed from
the British camp up to its walls unperceived
and rolled inside through a breach. On
seeing the enemy he became suddenly sober
and shouted for his comr1des. The British
sentres gave the alarm and his comrades
rushed into the garrison.-New York World.

well, Colonel Mosby. you know, was a

him to China the virginians turned the cold
shoulder to him. One day. he was making
a speech in Alexandria. He told the Vir-
ginians that they ought to vote for him.
why said the colonel, I fought all
over Northern Virginia for four years. Talk
about my war record! Why, my war rec
ord is a part of the states history. Why,
gentlemen, carried the last Confederate
flag through this very town.
Eyes replied Fitzhugh Lee, for was

Thank you for your fortunate recol-
lection gratefully exclaimed Mosby. 1T is
pleasant to know that there still live some
men who move aside envy and testify to
the courage of their fellow beings. AS
say, gentlemen, my war record is a part
of the states history, for the gentleman
here will tell YOU that l carried the last
Confederate flag through this town..
"'That's fact said Fitzhugh Lee. I
saw him do it. He carried the Confederate
flag through this town. but Fitzpatrick was
after him. and he carried 1t SO blamed fast

A Chance for Investment

One of the best openings for American
capital In Mexico at the present time Is
offered by the great demand throughout
the republic for building stone. The open
ing of extensive quarries, where. stone
would be worked by modern methods is an
investment that could be made to pay
handsomely. There is good deal OF build
ing going on, not only in the capital, but
in all the cities of Importance In Mexico.
Stone is practically the only material used
for building here and the demand for fine
creasing. With the possible exception Ct
mac hinery for working marble at Orizaba
there is not plant in the country for the
saving and working of rock. Among other
tim of this fubject, is the fact that plans
are now being chosen for tho new federal
capitol. 1t will be one of the finest on
be one of the finest on the continent, and
will necessitate large amount of fine cut
stone in its construction. There have been
no careful examinations made for orna-
mental stone in Mexico, with the exception
of those made for tecoll (Mexican onyx,
but In several localities there is known to
be building stone of good quality. Near
Queretaro there are quarries, easily ae-
cessibe, which produce very fine quality
OF hard, red, close-grafned stone. suscepti-
BILE of taking polish in the vicinity of
Guanajuato there are various qualities
of green and red sandstone, cas-

ornamental uses; near San Luis

hard granite. which makes handsome build
ing stone; not far from Casadero there Is
a rock, easily workable and SOFT which
quickly hardens after exposure to the at
mosphere. From these indications 1t is
evident that building stone is to be found
In Mexico in great abundance and variety.
