Trouble at the Duck Valley Indian
Agency.

Quite scandal is now on down at
the Duck Valley Indian Reservation.
1t appears that there has been illicit
intimacy between some of the employ
ees, the cook and some of the young
squaws attending the school, and the
parents of the girls being apprised of
it, came to Agent Mayhugh with COM
plants about it, Agent Mayhugh went
to the school to make inquiries about
the matter and was met in front of the
school building by an irate red-haired
French-Irish school marin, who pulled
a gun on him saying "you old scoundrei,
what do you want?" Just then the
doctor at the Agency stepped up, took
the gun out of the irate females hand
and took a shot at the agent, missing
him, and then whack at the Agency
blacksmith, who had just then put in
an appearance. He did little better
work on the blacksmith, hitting him in
the short ribs, but not wounding him
seriously. The agent had the Indian
police arrest the parties and take them
to Mountain City, where he learned
that the state authorities could do
nothing, because the offense was com
mitted on a government reservation,
and the agent is now at Winnemucca,
seeking the assistance of the U. S.
Attorney.

A fortnight ago we mentioned the
departure of four men from Salmon
City, bound for the Buffalo Hump, by
boat to Malleck. The party got through
alright, and declare that with the excep-
ton of times when the water is very
high, the trip can be safely made.
Their running time was forty hours.
They stopped three days along the way
to hunt and fish, and found game
plentiful. They found the ground bare
two or three miles back from the river,
on the south exposure at Malleck. and
they confirm the reports Of the large
vein of free gold exposed on both sides
of the river at that point. (T'his is the
Star Group, bonded by Mr.. Huntly, for
the DeLamar Company. Harry GuEcke
the commodore of this craft, has re-
turned to Salmon City, to build and
pilot another boat, loaded with supplies
over the same route Perhaps this may
yet prove popular route to the hump.

The Cause Of Union Labor Rests on
Reason AMI Justice.

The riot at Wardner, Idaho, and the
blowing up of the Bunker Hill and Sui
livan mines with dynamite, are mis-
fortune to the cause of union labor.
Lawlessness always retards. Dynamite
Is not an argument that appeals to
public reason. 1t has the very reverse
effect.
In their dispute. with mining com
panies at Wardner, the miners had a
just cause. By invoking violence and
the use of dynamite they will bring
disaster to themselves. The governor
of Idaho will call out the state militia
and has already invoked the aid of
federal troops. Whether this ought to
be done is not the question. The facts
must be met that it has been done, and
these striking miners will have to face
bayonets. For this, the men who so
far lost control Of themselves as to blow
up these mines will alone be respon-
sible. Bayonets have put down more
than one just labor strike, and were
invoked by just such riotous proceed
ings as these. The effect will not be
confined to the Wardner district alone.
1t will be felt all over the United States.
The cause of union labor rests on
reason and justice, and is to be won by
argument and the ballot, not by Win
chesters and dynamite. There are
many union labor leaders who recog-
nize this fact and they should be
prompt to deDounce these proceedings
at Wardnei Rocky Mountain News.

disturb the equanimity of the other
members of the mine owners ASSOCIATION
little bit. Although they may out
wardly, deplore the situation, were we
to try, we could name some of them
who are quietly laughing in their sleeves
at it. Not all the bad men in the Occur
d'Alenes are members of the Miners
Union, and this is what helps to en-
barrass the situation. 1t is liable to be
long drawn out contest.
Few people who realize the situation
can have much sympathy for either
party to the "war" now going on in that
district, but the trouble is none the less
deplorable, because of its effect upon
the fair fame of Idaho and because of
the effect it will have in retarding the
prosperity of the state where every
thing was SO bright and promising.
The timidity of capital will stop many
deals being made which had been almost
assured had not this trouble have
come up.

The President and Secretary of War
have been very prompt in responding
to Governor Steunenberg's request that
troops be held in readiness to put down
mob law in the Ceur d'Alenes. 1t is to
be hoped that this business of per
mitting mobs to destroy lives and
property will get such a set backin this
instance that it will hereafter be con-
sidered Improbable in Idaho. 1t is to
be further hoped that if there have
been instigators to this iniquitous bust
ness among the mine owners that they
will be ferreted out and dealt with ac-
cording to their deserts.

Two terrible cyclones on the same
day, at widely separated points, with
almost hundred lives lost and nearly
thousand persons more or less serious
ly injured, in two Missouri towns, one
of them in the northeastern and the
other in the southwestern portion of
the state, tell of the ealamities which
we west of the Rocky Mountains have
little to fear. Cyclones and tornadoes
have never been known to do any seri-
GUS damage in the Inter Mountain
States. In those states in the Mississ-
ippi Valley and Southeast, where they
most FRI lently occur, the people must
learn to De in constant dread of them.
1t is awful to think Of lives destroyed
and homes swept away almost without
warning as was done in the pretty little
city of Kirksville last week. We can
understand the feeling with which a
soldier lays down his life in battle,
where he has reason to expect such a
fate, but when, with scarcely moments
warning, a whole town, men, women
and children see death staring them in
the face, with no chance to fight against
the fate it is something too awful to
contemplate. In less time than it takes
to tell it, more lives were lost in Miss
ouri than have thus far been sacrificed
in battle in the PHILIPPINES. All the
world must sympathize with the suf-
serers and their friends

THINGS TO CONSIDER.
What Farmers should Grow for Mar
kct To Obtain Satisfactory
Pecuniary Results.

This is d question that comes up for
mind of the progressive farmer, and
Especially at this season OF the year,
when all the busy work is done and we
begin 10 look about to see what had best
be undertaken another year. In decid
ing what crops to grow farmers do not
always consider the important item of
cost in taking them to market, which
is governed TO no small extent by the
weight of the crop, as we'll as the dis
tance from market. The greater the
distance products must be transport
ed and the poorer the roads that are
10 be Travelled the greater the neces-
sity for producing stuff that is easily
marketed.
II one grows potatoes and sells them
at 40 cents a bushel, the local price al
many towns this season, he must draw
\ 125 bushels to market to obtain $50
These l25 bushels will weigh nearly
four tons. How many times they have
ITO be handled, sorted and lifted the
farmer that grows them alone can tell.
III he grows small fruits for the mar
2ket and realizes ten cents a quart for
his product he is getting about $500 q
&bushel, or over sl00 a ton for what he
sells. or about eight times as much as
the potatoes brought him. Then there
Is eight times the cost in wear and tear
of wagon and horsefesh, as well as
muscular strength expended by the pro
ducer. We have all heard of the farm
er's wife who took a basket OF eggs to
the store on her arm and obtained more
money for 1t than her husband did for
two-horse load of hay. If it is not
true story, 1t illustrates the point.
Almost every day we see coming to
town small paper boxes not weighing
more than two or three pounds, which
contain flowers that are sold for quite
as much money as wagonload of some
kinds Of farm products will bring. If
Farmers would pay little more atten-
Ntion to the production of these items

WHY HE WOULD NOT GIVE UP.
Little Jake Thought the Beating Was
Not Half ms Bad as Being
Called a Spaniard.

Soak it to him, Chimmiel"
"Biff him hard, Jake!"
These and similar exclamations of
encouragement, oft repeated, came
from crowd of intensely eager boys
and girls and not a few grinning men
assembled around two little gladiators
engaged in serious fist duel on Null
berry street not very far from police
headquarters the other afternoon.
Some of the grinning men looked
half ashamed of their role of tolerant
spectators of the encounter. The air
of superficial amusement of the re-
mainder scarcely concealed the real in
terest with which they followed every
movement of the fighters.
To the latter it was no laughing mat
ter. One, slight pale lad with a
dogged, determined look, and thin,
firmly-compressed lips, was obviously
outclassed by his more robust and fu-
riously angry opponent, who was pun
ishing him severely, but he would not
avow himself vanquished.
Let up. Chimmie, he's had enough"
interposed Chimmie's friends.
Jake. bruised and bleeding, picked
himself up from the ground and pro-
tested fercely that he had not done
with the enemy and proposed to "fn-
ish him up if get smashed"
The battle was resumed, and Jake
went down heavily. striking his head
on the curbstone. He was picked up
oazed and weak. but still defiant.
A man pushed his way through the
crowd and restrained him.
You're grit all through. my boy. but
it's no use. he's too much for you," he
said.

SHOOTING STARS.
Some Facts Concerning Them Which
Have Been Ascertained by
Astronomers.

The present state of science does
not admit yet of our knowing whether
the contact of the shooting stars ana
aerolites has had any effect at all on
the earth's motion. But we can as
sumo that in the process of time the
amount of shooting stars and meteors
will decrease. For any given group of
the former it is almost certain that it
was once more conspicuous than it is
to-day and that il is growing less as
the periodic returns pass on. Of course
in this assumption we must take into
account variations of density at differ
eht parts of the steadily moving cur
rent, variations which can produce
showers that are now more dense and
now more sparse. For this reason the
constant enumeration of shooting stars
becomes quite important, since this
alone will teach us in the long run
whether or not the phenomenon is re-
ally losing in richness, and If it is to
what degree and under the sway of
what laws.

germs Of life throughout the universe.

MARK TwAIps PET CATS.
A Quartette of Pretty Mousers That
Basked I'm nm Atmosphere
oG Fame.

Yon might not suspect the great.
humorist Mark Twain of being fond or
cats and dogs. Though 1t would seem
that his mind must be thronged with
queer fancies and imaginary charac-
ters, always getting into laughable and
difficult situations, Mark Twain yet has
room for thoughts of friends belonging
to the animal kingdom. He once owned
four OF the prettiest and daintiest nous
ers that ever basked in an atmosphere
of fame.
When Mark Twain lived at quarry
Farm" picturesque home high up on
southern New York mountain, over
looking many miles of landscape, he
did most of his writing in little eight
sided summer-house, which he called
his "Pilot House." in memory of the
days long ago when he was pilot on
the Mississippi river. Cozily
nesting in a great chair or snuggled
comfortably upon an old lounge in this
literary workshop, at almost any time
of the day, could be found Mark Twain's
pets. They were allowed there because
they had tie good manners to keep
quiet while he worked. If they had
presumed to jump upon the desk and
put their little feet upon the manu-
script or tip over the ink, they would
not have been allowed to remain.
The cozy little Pilot house was very
popular with these cats. 1t may have
been because it was such nice, sunny
place, having windows upon all of its
sides. Being upon the very tip-top of
the great hill, it received the warmth of
the first and last rays of the sun, Of
which these pets were quite as fond as
was the humorist himself. Mark Twain
knew that although cats are said to
have nine lives, the time must come
when even his pets and he would have
to part, so one day he summoned Mr..
Van AIKEN, the photographer.
A jealous dog did his best to prevent a
photographs being taken, but in
vain; and two good views of them were
obtained. Mark Twain himself thus
sings the requiem of his pets:
Hartford, Conn.
II don't know as there is anything Of
continental or international interest to
communicate about these cats. They had
no history. They did not distinguish them
selves in any way. They died early-on
account Of being overweighted with their
names. II was thought-Sour Mash, Apel-
iinaris, Zoroaster, Blatherskite-names
given them, not in an unfriendly spirit.
but merely TO practice the children in large
and difficult styles of pronunciation.
1T was very happy ideal mean for
