1t is reported that the Cliff
mines, near Houston, are to be
worked again, and already quite
a force of men have been put to
work. These are copper proper
ties, and with copper at its pres
ent high price, it has put many
copper producers into action
that were heretofore idle.
A dispatch from Delaware, O.,
to the Toledo Commercial, under
date of Feb. 4th, has this to say
of the bravery of former Chal-
lis school teacher "a brave
and thoughtful young woman
checked what might have grown
into big fire by quick work at
Monnett hall this morning. Miss
Della E. McAfee, student of Ohio
Wesleyan from Boise, Idaho. en-
tered a friends suite of rooms
and discovered the carpets and
curtains in a blaze. Seizing a
blanket she smothered the
flames, holding them in check
until the hose of the hall was
connected and water was thrown,
extinguishing the fire. Miss
McAfee escaped with only slight
burns"
The Moscow Times Democrat
says 1--WE have been informed
that Mrs. Henry Giphart of Lit
tie Bear Ridge, this county, gave
birth to five children on Dec. 9th,
and up to the last account they
were all doing well. They are
all boys. The smallest weighed
two pounds when born, but he
has outgrown his brothers and
is now the largest. Washington
made much ado over her four
oaoleS eXhlolted last year at the
Spokane fair, but Idaho has seen
her and gone one better. The
birth of four babies in Latah,
Washington, year ago or more,
and the birth of FIVE in Latah
county, Idaho, within the past
few days demonstrates beyond
peradventure that the Palouse
region is the most prolific coun-
try on the face of the globe.
There is no telling what it may
yet do"
Official labor statistics of the
world prove that 500, 600 persons
with the aid of machinery are
now doing the work that it re-
quired 100000 persons to do
only twelve years ago. What is
to become of the fifteen and a
half millions that are deprived
of a livelihood =? Machinery sup
plants labor the same as the bic
ycle is supplanting the horse.
