New Fast Schedule
to the East.
Less Than Three Days to Chicago.

The new train schedule of the Rio
Grande Western Railway and connec-
tions went into effect February 9TH,
and has proved a great success. By
this new time card, passengers from
Butte, Boise, HALEY, Pacatello, and
all points on the Oregon Short Line
are landed in Chicago in less than
three days after departure. Close con-
nection is made at Ogden between the
trains of the Oregon Short Line and
Rio Grande Western, leaving that point
at 500 a. m, arriving Denver at 900 a.
M. the following day, and Chicago at
2:15 p. m. the third day. Connections
made in Chicago with the limited trains
for New York. This new service is in
addition to the fast night train of the
Rio Grande Western which leaves Og-
den at $3.50 p. M, arrives Denver the
next evening, and Chicago at 500 a. IN.
the third day, thus making close con-
nections in Chicago with the fast
morning trains for Boston and New
York.
Both of these trains are splendidly
equipped with all latest appliances and
conveniences, lighted with Pintsch Gas,
and carry Pullman Palace and Pullman
Tourist Sleeping Cars as well as Free
Reclining Chair Cars.

The greatest profits in mining are
often made out of low grade ores; OF
course where they are met in large
quantities. The Alaska Treadwel has
paid since 1891, $685., 900, and previous
to that date, when known as the Alaska
Mining and Milling Co., had paid 500,
900. The ore of this mine is very low
grade, never exceeding $500 a ton and
often averaging for months but trifie
over 81 ton, but the conditions are
such that the maximum of economy is
possible. The Homestake mine in
South Dakota, has paid since 1901, 81
1S1, 600 on ore that did not exceed 81 a
ton in value. The Quincy copper mine
of Michigan, has paid since the year
named, slO,120,OOO treating ore carrying
about 3 per cent copper. The Tamarac,
another Michigan copper mine, has paid
So, $4,000 in the same period, treating
similar ore.

Postage to be Reduced to One Cent
similar ore

The enormous increase in the number
Of letters carried in the U. S. mails
makes it certain that the rate of postage
must eventually be reduced to one cent
an ounce. The President who succeeds
in getting such a measure through Con-
gress will hold a high place in the
esteem of the people, but no higher
than the esteem in which everybody
holds Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
This medicine has an upequalled record
in reducing the sickness Of mankind.

by acting upon the stomach direct,

A Curiosity,

In last weeks issue of the Indepen-
dent there appeared wall from some
individual, with sour stomach, who
styled himself Republican" (0. A
perusal of the silly stuff may delude
those citizens not familiar with the
situation in this county, yet none will
be caught by the walls of the writer
who neither supports nor labors for
the success of Republican candidates,
yet has the cheek to pose as a Republi-
can. We care nothing for the ''rot'
hurled at us-yet we must have more
influence in Cameron county than the
writer gives us credit, when the fact is
taken into consideration that Messrs.
Gleason and Gaskill received the al
most solid endorsement Of the Repub-
licans of the county at the primary
elections. 1t was the general senti-
ment of the taxpayers Of the county
that Messrs. Gleason, Gaskill and Vogt
were safe men for county commission
ers and should be reelected. The de-
feat of Mr.. Gleason was simply owing
to the fact that he declined to canvass
the county, in accordance with an
agreement made by all the candidates
some time before the election and was
violated by some, who did solicit
Mr.. Gaskill and Mr.. Vogt declined to
violate the pledge and remained at
home attending to their business until
the day before election, while Mr..
Mason was hustling for votes for him
self and received the "dead" votes
of all such individuals who have the
gall to style themselves "Republicans." !"
AS to Mr.. Burlingame the PRESS has
none but the kindest feeling and, as
we informed his son H. D., early in
the season we should support his can
didacy unless Mr.. Gaskill would be a
candidate for reelection. Delos Bur-
| lingame is not to be caught with any
such clap-trap stuff as that emanating
, from the self-confessed sore head.
During the campaign for the nomina-
ton not a word was said by the PRESS
for or against any candidate-that was
left to be expressed by the voters at
at the primaries, where they voted for
| the candidates direct and instructed
the delegates.
Every line ofthe article published in
the Independent is a tissue Of false
hoods, from start to finish.

Big Excitement.

Last Friday a deer made its appear

mill pond, causing great excitement
among the men. The doe, for such
it was, evidently had been chased by
dogs, bounded into the pond among
the logs and men working there. All
hands made for the frightened animal
with pick-levers, poles, etc, but the
deer was too fast for them. Bob Clark
struck it several times over the head
and Ed Litrenau endeavored to catch
it by the horns and was astonished to
''How him fly" The deer got away
and made for the mountain, followed
by number of men.

A Pasture in the Woods.

Among the prominent cattle dealers
who visit Buffalo at regular intervals fo,
the purpose OF purchasing stoc, is George
E. Brown, Of Ulean, says recent dis
patch. Just at present Mr.. Brown is
conducting an experiment in attempting
to use the hcmlock slashing:, as the
timber tracts which have been cut over
to obtain bark are termed, as cattle and
sheep ranches.
About year ago Mr.. Brown pur-
chased Of G. w. & T. II. Goodyear, the
Buffalo lumber dealers. who own an i'm.
mense acreage of the finest hemlOck
timber in Pennsylvania, $4,000 acres of
denudad hemlock lands in Potter county.
Fifteen thousand acres of it is in a solid
block. The Goodyears had stripped the
hemlocb bark and timber and left the
hardwood standing, such as was not
broken off by the falling hemlock. The
price paid was less than a dollar an acre
1t is rough, mountainous section,
watered by trout streams that for years
have made this section famous among
fishermen, and the soil is very productive
Little Of the tract is level Or suitable for
farming, the valleys being very narrow
and the hills steep.
Brown idea is to burn the land over.
after saving what hardwood he can, SOW
timothy seed and fence the entire tract
in with wire. This is the first season he
has experimental and he is well pleased
with results Last spring he bought
| 700 head Of Canadian cattle at the East
Buffalo market and turned them out to
run over bis Potter county ridges,
This fall he sold the herd to Eastern
dealers. He found that the cattle did
tar better on the new land than other
herds he owned did on his worn out pas
ture lands in Western New York. His
idea is not to winter the cattle; he has
never done that, but to buy lean cattle
on the Buffalo market every spring and
pasture them on his Potter county range
The Buffalo & Susquehanna railroad
runs through his lands and he can get a
direct line to take the cattle in and to
ship them out in the fall Next spring
he expects to turn an immense herd out
on his ranch and also a large number Of
sheep
The country is admirably adapted for
grazing sheep, which he will winter there
on a bic farm he will have cleared up for
that purpose. For years thousands of
acres Of denuded lands that comprise the
timber belt Of Western Pennsylvania
have been sold for taxes, being counted
absolutely worthless by their owners, who
were only interested in the timber,
Mr.. Brown is very enthusiastic over
the outlook and other cattle dealers are
turning their attention to the possibilities
that his experiment has revealed.
That section Of Pennsylvania is one Of
the best watercd in the United States,
the lands are cheap and the expense Of
burning them over, seeding down and
fencing with wire is not great On these
new lands the timothy grows to the
height Of five feet. Only one man was
required to take care of Mr. Browns
! herd this season, he says.

Vice President Hobart Dead .

PATERSON, N. j., Nov. 21.-
Vice President Garret A. Hobart
died at $3.50 this forenoon.
The Vice President had been
failing since late yesterday after
noon, although the reports given
out at the house were that he was
holding his own.
At midnight he became uncon-
scious, and at seven o'clock this
morning he had an attack of agina
pectoris, from which he never
rallied. His death followed at $3.50
o'clock.
Mrs. Hobart, Garrett A. Hobart,
Jr., DR.. Newton, Mrs. Newton,
who is a cousin of Mrs. Hobart,
and the nurse were at the patients
bedside constantly from the time
he became unconscious.
At 1870 o'clock the Vice Presi-
dents secretary, Mr.. Evans, called
up the White House by telephone
and notified President Mckinley
that Mr. Hobart was dying. At
9 o'clock Mr.. Evans communicated
again with the President, notifying
him of the Vice Presidents death.
The flags on public buildings
and many private residences were
Immediately half-masted when the
news of the Vice Presidents death
became known.
The bell on the City Hall be-
gan tolling at 10 a. m., and con-
tinued at short intervals.
The Passaic county court met at
10 o'clock and adjourned in token
of respect to the dead Vice Presi-
dent
The funeral will probably be held
next Saturday, although no public
announcement of this fact has yet
been made.
Although the Vice President S
death had been expected at any
time, there was still hope among
his personal friends in Patterson
that he would survive. for some
time to come The neighbors and
lifelong friends of the Vice Presi-
dent were deeply affected over his
! death.
Soon after the news of Mr..
bart's death was sent over the
I the wires, kilograms of coincidence
began to arrive at Carroll. Among
the first to send words of sympathy
and coincidence to Mrs. Hobart
were President and Mrs. Mckinley.
Before Mr.. Hobart became un-
conscious he was able to converse
with Mrs. Hobart about some pri-
vate affairs. He was very patient
and showed his remarkable will
power to the last.
President Mckinley sent word
that he would endeavor to have a
talk with Mrs. Hobart over the
telephone.
The business houses and public
buildings in Patterson have been
draped in black. Telegrams an
nouncing Mr.. Hobart's death were
sent to many of his old friends in
public and private life. Among
them Senator Hanna of Ohio
Senator Sewall and Gov. VOORHEES,
of New Jersey. During the fore.
noon many of the Vice Presidents
intimate friends and neighbors
called at Carroll Holl and left then
cards.

Harry Harrison, the Syracuse boy,
known as the "human ostrichn has
been amazing the students of the Uni
versity of Buffalo by his wonderful
performances. At recent exhibition
of his ability to swallow different things
in the line of hardware, he started in
with couple of good sized knife blades
which he calmly bit off the handle and
gulped down with much relish. Fol-
lowing this feat with the knife blades
Harrison swallowed a one and one-half
inch screw, two lath nails, which he
bit in half, fifty two-ounce tapestry
tacks, three one-half inch screws and
finished by chewing up and swallowing
a good sized glass goblet He is a
puzzle to the physicians, who say his
act is nothing short of marvellous.

An Apology.

Our modest friend, Hon. I. X. Hook
ley, feels sorely grieved over our inno-
cent reference to the fact that as Chair
man of the Democratic County Com
mittee, he was made a tool by design
ing politicians to injure Col. Barnett,
candidate for State Treasurer, and
feels aggrieved that we classed him
with the character assassins. Since
Col Barnett is elected by the hand
some majority of 10000 in the State
and led the ticket in Cameron county,
we are ready to whitewash you, l. K.
Prepare your manifesto, d la Andre,os,
and we shall gladly wipe out the stain,
but don't do it again.
