they will be mustered out at San Fran
cisco, ii will be well on into September
before they reach their homes. Some
arrangements should be made at once

body and preparations completed for
giving them reception such as they
deserve. If it can be arranged that
they would arrive in Boise during fair
week, they would be bigger attraction
than all the other features of the fair.
Possibly the time may come just right

SIALlESE FOOTBALL.

Ii indigenous.-or native to Burma-

moo.ed one, says Ilarper's " weekly. At
all events, the game requires q certain
amount of activity, and is very inter
esting 10 the onlooker. 1t is kind o.
footDali-in fact, | have heard it called
burmese football-played with ball
about iour inches in diameter, made OF
braided rotan, entirely hollow, very
strong and resilient. The number OF
contestants is not arbitrarily fixed, but
play is sharpest when there are enough
to form circle about ten feet in diam
ter. The larger the circle after it has
.assed the desirable diameter the slow
gr the play.
The game is TO keep the ball tossing
into the air without breaking the circle.
As a man fails at his opportunity he
drops out, and when there remain bui
our or six, the work is sharp and very
'retty. The ball is struck generally
.ifh the knee, but also with the foot,
rom in front, behind and at the side.
Some become remarkably clever. have
seen a player permit the ball to drop
bshind his back, and yet, with
ont turning. return it clear over his
read, and straight into the middle OF

There are l.500 Mormon missionaries
now in the foreign work of the church,
the brightest of its young men, the fu-
ture leaders in all matters. They are
compelled to sacrifice everything and
to labor for two or three years far from

says the North American Review.
None who goes through this expert
ence ever forgets the power OF the
priesthood, and each understands that
if he should show too great spirit of
independence he may be called again
to make the sacrifice. No young man
in the church may be married in one of

A fortnight ago everybody about
Warren, Florence and Grangeville was
excited over reports coming from
Thunder Mountain, and there was a
great rush to secure claims. Last week
similar rush started from Boise for
Badger Creek, on the Middle Boise.
The reports coming from both these
points where discoveries we're reported
anywhere. 1t is too soon to yet learn
what these finds will amount to, but
whether they turn out big or otherwise,
the excitement they have created shows
that all of Idaho is waaing up to the
Importance of developing the mines iu
this state. People are realizing that
the state has never yet been prospected
and that fortunes are awaiting the
lucky ones. There will be more such
eXcitements, and out of them will come
happy results for many and increased
prosperity for the state, even though
they may cause many wild-goose chases
and fake reports. That is the way
matters have gone in other mining
states while we have been sleeping on
top of as much riches as the best of
them. Idaho has never footed her own
horn very energetically, aud it is writ
ten chat "He who bloweth not his own
horn, the Same shall not be footed"
Already the blasts from Idah's horn are
beginning to be heard beyond her
borders. 1t is we'll.

The destruction of the HALEY Hot
Springs hotel, by fire, is severe loss to
Idaho. Besides its cost to the owner,
Robert Strahorn, of Chicago, amount
ing to $4,000, being direct loss, the
fact that it was the most attractive
resort in the state to draw eastern visi-
tors and health seekers to Idaho was a
matter of concern to all in the adver-
tising it gave all of Idaho. We hope
the owner of the springs and beautiful
grounds may be induced to rebuild the
hotel without delay, and all of Idaho
should render him every encourage
ment to do so. 1t is located in an ideal
place for health and pleasure resort,
with all which could be desired to make
it attractive in the way of climate,
scenery and facilities for hunting,
fishing etc.

The heal Did not 10.

Manager Huntley returned from his
trip to the Buffalo Hump last Saturday
and reports that he had given up the
deal.
When Mr.. Huntley was on his way to
the Hump the Lewiston and Grange
vile papers attempted to interview him
in regard to the deal, but all they could
get out of him then was that he could
not tell them anything about it until
he had seen the property, and then he
would probably be silent as a clam
about it. When he come back all that
he had to say about the matter was that
the clam act still stood. The MUG IET
tried to get him to talk about it, aud
has found that the finale is set to the
same music as the overture.
Mr.. Huntley is not IA good subject to
interview in regard to the Hump. He
appears to think that any adverse
criticism coming from him would be
unfair to the property owners. and that
he is not under obligations to boom the
district for others.
The most we could obtain from him
was the impression that there would be
some big mines found up there and that
the district may some day be a good
one.

that tough woman over in that un-
frequented corner of the county, with
a boulder in her stocking, most un-
mercifully beat Yves Rickard, while one
of her clan held her victim under the
muzzle of his gun. The woman's name
is said to be Mason, said to be very
successful cattle rustler, who is working
out career which promises to make
her quite as notorious as was Calamity
Jane in her time. A man who pro
fessed to know something of her life
over in that wild country, tells us that
she located over there three or four
years ago, with husband, calf and
branding iron, soon drove her husband
out of the country, he being the least
important adjunct in her outfit, and
she has now accumulated quite Il herd
of stock.

There is but one thing to do when
you are sleeping in a strange place and
the fire call is sounded. Get out of bed
swiftly but quietly, put on your shoes,
trousers and coat and pick up your val
uables, if you have any. You can do all
this in five minutes or less by working
steadily and coolly. By the time you
get it done you will know in what direc-
you want to go, and how to get there.
Hotels don't burn down in ten minutes
these days, and with the present ef-
ficiency of the fire departments in the
large cities not one in 100 of them that
catch on fire burns down at all. When

haste slowly is motto that every man

From all reports the Potlatch, Pa
louise and Camas Prairie wheat crops
promise to be unusually great this year.
Harvest hands are scarce and are com
manding fifty per cent higher wages
than heretofore paid. That is little
wheat empire, comprising parts of the
states of Idaho, Oregon and Washing
ton. The average of its wheat crop
surpasses that of any other portion Of
the United States, of the same area.
For several years the farmers in that
great wheat country were poor, owing
to the fact that most of them started
without much means, their crops sold
at low price, and nearly all of their
farms were loaded down with mortgages.
Last years better prices and improved
facilities for handling and marketing
their crops helped many of them out
and encouraged them to increase their
acreage, and the fine crops this year
and prospect of fair prices have made
The country prosperous. 1t is filling
the country up with people. Camas
Prairie is especially in the swim of
prosperity, because of its proximity to
the recent mining discoveries of Cen
tral Idaho and the promise of railroads
is filling up with desirable people very
rapidly.

A SOLDIER WHEN DYITG.
, How n United stnteE Regular snIuted
Hls Ofncer - His Last Act
Before Death.

Ever since the war; said an officer,
my memory has been developing de-
tails that were crowded for the time TO
the rear by my interest in the greater
drama. Many of them, although small
in themselves, illustrate the personal
courage and devotion of the troops.
There is one episode that in particu-
lar typifies the American soldier. / like
TO think so, at any rate. He was pri-
vate of regulars. When first saw him
he was already a dead man, If ever /
saw one. He was on his feet, sham
bling along with that galvanic kind of
energy that comes to men of great vi
tality when they are wounded beyond
repair.
Just as he fell-even, as it seemed,
in the very act of falling-he looked up
and saw me. A very faint sign of rec
.ognition came into his eyes, and then
he Strengthened with jerk and saluted
me as stolidly as though he was on pa
rade-
There was nothing in the act of con-
scious dramatic effort. This well-drilled,
well-disciplined, well-balanced priyate
soldier of the United States army was
merely saluting me, his superior off
Ger, and the thing that stood for his
flag.
II never knew his name, or his rec
ord, or his regiment. and 1 didn't want
to know. / knew that he was a soldier,
and it has been the means of constant
inspiration to know that we have that
kind to work with"
