HOTEL GOSSIP.

T. Turner, the crockery man from
Toledo o.. Is at the Kenyon. He is par
tial to the III winds that sometimes snap
the topmasts Of the walters as they go
eareendng and sailing up and down the
his opportunity 10 beguile his customers
into adding a few extra dishes to their
ORDERS It's an i'll wind that profits no.
body ne said yesterday IN the caursel
4 waited through the dining and dish
I washing halls attached to the big hotels
throughout the country. The walters
haven't enough centerboard or weight at
tacheq TO! their fin keeis; a puff of air up
ssIs tners over they CO. smash goes the
CHINA and the hopes for the stipend at
amount Of my orders. Most Of the COM
mon tableware used by the hotels and
restaurants in this country is made in
trenton N j.. and East Liverpool. O.
horno0d Of those two places is such that
1t is particularly good for use In the man
a1acture of ordinary stuff. We make the
/ inner grades Of tableware, but have to
mix the domestic kaolin with some i'm
ported clays brought from england and
france. Not very many years ago all
OF the crockery ware In use i'm the United
States had the English trademark on the
back. It is seldom to be found now. The
American stuff is more durable, looks just
as Well made and is much cheaper owing
imposed by the government. 70
Judge Phil Averett of ST. Anthony is
in town for a. few days, staying at the
Cullen He came down to get away from
the. early frosts and SHOWS, and is wan
dering about in the rain, sans rubhers,
sans umbrella, sans everything except
genial smiles and an inordinate amount
Of good nature. Il am interested In some
of the properties in Boise, and have in
formed myself Of the condition of rail-
road affairs in that part of the country"
ne said last night. Twenty Thousand dol
lars of the $4,000 required by the agree
nleflt with the Short Line company has
been subscribed and guaranteed by the
prominent citizens and capitalists of
Boise; the rest is now being solicited
among the residents and from present in
dtcattons it looks as if the entire bonus
Will be deposited as evidence of good
faith on the part of the city before the
first of next month The Short Line pow
erS that be agreed to have the extern
sion from Owyhee to Boise completed
by the LIST of next July, provided the
other party subscribed the bonus named
IN the contract before the end of this
year. There is no doubt about its being
paid in, so the railroad is assured. The
talk about Nampa being cut off from the
main line is flddlesticks. Under the law
enacted by congress in 1873, and suhse-
qlently framed by the interstate COM
merce law committee, once certain indus
tries dependent upon the railroad for a
by that railroad. the latter company is
restricted from tsolating the town. and
so Nanlpa is safe from being side-tracked
by the Boise extension
w. NJ. Springer of Galesburg, his, who
is putting in dairy plants for Howard &
Stubbs of that city, is at the Walker
House. He has finished all work on the
Murray creamery, which makes five that
he has finished in this state, the other
Tcaf,f
ant Valley and Nephi. Each one of these
has a capacity of 20.e00 pfnts of milk per
day, so that the state may produce 1900
pounds more of butter per day than for
merly.
This may in time become a dairy state
of vast importance, said MIR. Springer.
There are ranges and valleys where hum
dreds upon thousands of head of cattle
may be fed, and every little town may
have d creamery. There is money in the
business The state does not now pro-
demand, let alone enough to ship to out
side states.
There is no reason why the manuf2c-
ture of butter cannot become more i'm
portant than the production of the mines.
IowaS butter output amounts to S4S, 000,cJO
per year. which is greater than the out
put of all the gold mines in the country
UP to a few years ago The butter bust
ness of the United States is of much more
consequence than the mining business,
even if as much is not said about it.

Auer does not share the opinion con-
corning General Otis, which is expressed |
Dy SO many returning volunteers. Tie |
thinks Otis is quite a general and is con-
Quoting the campaign in magnificent !
style.
HE is pushing the war as fast as posi- /
BILE, and no one else could do any more" |
he said. General OTIS knows his bust |
ness; he is a great man. Those men who |
have returned and say THAT he will not /
let them fight don't know anything about /
the st@uation.
THE rainy season in the Philippines is. |
or soon will be, over. and the dry season |
will last till May, when fighting will be |
with .vigor and the insurgents /
will be whipped.
