party OF the Bunker Hill miners had al
ready been deputzed as constables to guard
that property. As four of them were re-

foung's deputies and their rifles taken
away from them.

Wardner. Idaho, May 2.--The presence
of the soldiers has eased the situati,,

gradually reganing slight confidence but
1t Is felt that peace can not be assured
until 900 troops are quartered here. Cap
tam Hatohelder and his gallant seventy
six soldiers assisted by 100 townsmen who
are under arms, would give such resistance
az would annihilate any ordinary force,
but should the 1900 men up Canyon creek
arise fully armed the little guard nav here
could hardly cope with them.

Labor saving devices are constantly be-
ing invented in the accounting systems
OF big companies, and one of the latest
is a scheme which does away with the
necessity for several clerks in the audit
ing departments. 1t is a plan, being
adopted by Western roads, of photo
graphing the monthly balance sheets. On
the big roads these sheets have to be-
made out many times in duplicates, with
great care to avoid mistakes in copying,
and this requires the services Of a small
corps of clerks.
The new plan, which, by the way, Mr.
Nay is said to be interested in, Is to
photograph the first and original sheet
and thus obtain as many copies as de-
sired without the corps Of copyists.
