In the Ladrone islands there
is tree with o fruit which tc
the nostrils is so obnoxious that
1T turns one faint, but once in
the mouth it is so delicious that
one will eat to safety. Itripens
once a month and is very album
dant
There is a nut which is eaten
shell and all. The kernel can be
bitten only when it is fully ripe.
The shell is brittle like a cracker,
sweet and good.
There is stone found on the
islands which changes color ac-
cording to the weather. On cold
days it is black; hot weather
turns it bright red; it gets pink
when rain threatens, and in
cloudy weather is blue. 1t lies
plentifully along the roads and
pedestrians can be their own
weather prophets.
A great yellow flower which
opens and closes to the sun at
noon is another novelty. The
flower takes only five minutes to
open and shut; for one minute it
is wide open, showing a white
center, with golden heart. It
opens directly up to the sun and
closes tight with dropping head.
1t varies not one minute in the
whole lifetime of the plant. On
cloudy days it opens, but it's
petals point downward, for the
stem does not rise as on sunny.
days. This flower acts as a
clock to the natives.

Speaking on the Naval bill,
which was UP for consideration
in the House on the 18th inst,
Mr.. Berry, of Kentucky, said
II believe the bill will remove
conflict" he said, land if there
is any country where there is a
necessity for the removal of con-
flict in the army or navy it is the
United States. | think we have
magnificent phase of conflict
in the army service of the United
States presented in the papers
this morning and whether it will
end in a duel or not | do not
know, but it seems that there is
a very considerable amount of
friction in the army of the Unit
ed States. There was some cor
fiict among the officers in the
navy in the greatest battle of the
war, the greatest battle of mod
ern times, because it demonstrate
ed the character of the men and
vessels that were engaged in it,
and there is no doubt in the mind
of the American people who is
entitled to the credit of that vic
tory. But there are people who
are trying to steal away from
Schley the credit of the glorious
triumph won on the third day of
July, 1893"
In this connection Mr.. Berry
read the following poem, amid a
whirlwind of laughter aud APP
plause :
when the Spanish fleet with full Roadway
Dashed out of Santiago bay,
Taking the chances OF death and wreck,
Who stood on Yankee quarterback,
And marked the game with eagle eye
Who was 1t when shot and screaming shell
Turned sabbath calm in echoing hell :
Steamed into the thiclSest OF the fray
His good ship leading all the way,
While the roar of his guns shook earth and sky
Say, was 1t sampson, or was 1t Schley
In American hearts, who holds first place,
OF those who claim part in that glorious chaser
Whose name stood out on that proud day,
AS the hero of Santiago bayf
In letters of gold write that name on high.
Shall we write 1t Sampson, or write 1t schley?-
Il say it should be written
Schley," continued Berry. II
then say that there should be
provision of law that whether it
goes to Schley or Sampson, the
prize money should be paid to

poor districts that have no sa-
looms are out of luck, but we are
of the opinion that the cities and
towns of Idaho will fight to have
the law remain as it is in this re-
spect, for it is a big lift to the
school funds in the districts that
it is collected.
To see the injustice of the
matter, we might cite to Challis
and Custer, in this county. Per-
haps Custer and Bonanza have
25 or 30 school children, and
Challis had, according to last
census, 125 children of school
age, say nothing of the non-resi-
dent pupils that have come here
since school has commenced. but
Custer and Bonanza (Which are
in one district), have twice the
number of saloons that we have,
consequently their apportion-
ment of school money is a great
deal more than that of this dis
trict. In fact they have more
money than they can make use
of in a legitimate way.
1t appears to us that the licen-
Sc money of the county-one-half
of it, should be thrown into the
general school fund of the county
and divided among the districts
per capita according to their last
census roll. BY doing this, all
districts would get their proper
ton according to the number of
children of school age in such
district, and not according to the
number of saloons in each district.

In view of the fact that com

Commissioner

The Lemhi Republic says an
attachment levy was made on
the Lemhi County Bank on Tues.
day at the instigation of r. p.
Quarles, to recover $400 which
was issued to the plaintiff in the
form of check on the bank by
A. B. Cough. The check was
protested. The case has some
thing of history, which it is
not the function of a newspaper
to try. 1t seems to us, however,
that the action taken by Mr..
Quarles shows some selfishness
on his part, as he cannot fail to
see that it jeopardizes the inter
ests of all depositors who still
hoped for continuation of the
10 per cent. monthly payments
on their deposits. 1t is true that
the bank has been unable to
make this payment for the past
two months, but that, we are
credibly informed, was caused
by the failure of st. Louis
party to meet an obligation to
Mr.. Cone at a critical moment,
together with other unforeseen
circumstances. We are informed
that it was Mr.. Cones intention
to gather together his cash re-
sources and send in about $4,000
the first of next month for the
benefit of the old depositors, and
a promise was also given that
the full amount of all deposits
would be paid before April 1st,
the time of the expiration of the
ten months. Patience is a good
ly virtue, and the .depositors
have shown good judgment in

GENERAL LAND OFFICE,
WASHINGTON, ID. O.,
Dec. 30, 1898.
Register and ReceiUer, HALEY
SIRs:-I am in receipt of your
letter of December Is, 1898.
Under the United States placer
mining laws, one person may
make a single location contain
ing 20 acres of placer mining
land, two persons may make a
single location containing not
more than 40 acres in a compact
body, three may locate go acres,
ETC., but no single location,
whether made by eight persons
or more, can exceed 100 acres.
1t has been decided that sin
gle location of placer mining
ground may embrace 90, 40, 60,
so, 100, 100, 140 or 100 acres ia a
compact body, according to the
number of locators.
In q case involving a single
location only, you will have no
difficulty in applying the pro
visions of paragraphs Is, 16, II
and 10 of the circular approved
December Is, 1897.
If eight persons should mako
eight distinct and separate loca-
tions of 20 acres each, and seven
of the locators should convey
their claims to the other, it
would require annual assessment
work of the value of $500 to
maintain the possessory right to
all of the claims, but in the case
of a single location embracing
100 acres of placer mining land,
the owner thereof, in order to
maintain his possessory right
thereto, would not be required
to expend 300 worth of mining
labor on each 90 acres thereof,
but his possessory right to the
entire 100 acres might be main
tanned by performing thereon
500 worth of actual mining
work designed in good faith for
the improvement of the 100 acre
location as single mining claim.
Very respectfully,
BINGER HERMANN,
Commissioner.

looked as if they might have beer
faultless were the lines.
It was soon apparent that the white
flyer was forging ahead. The clear
water began to show between them.
The Columbia seemed to not only out
foot the challenger, but the experts
saw that she pointed higher. 1t was
astonishing how she made her way up
into the wind. Within fifteen minutes
she had lead of five lengths, and from
that time on the race was hers.
The patriots were jubilant, and the
bands which began playing, never
stopped until the race was over.
The Columbia seemed more tender
than the foreigner, showing yards of
her bronze underbody as she leaned
away with her lee rail almost awash.
Steadily she continued to draw ahead
until within half an hour, having un-
equivocally demonstrated her superb

only . question of how far the white
flyer would beat her rival to the outer
mark.
The Shamrock footed valiantly, but
neither in speed nor in pointing could
she compare with Columbia. Then the
three shippers on the challenger put
their heads together and tried new
tactics. The Shamrock made a dozen
short bouts. Evidently her shippers
were under the impression that she
was quicker on her heel and better at
fore-reaching than the Yankee boat,
but the Columbia proved quite as nim-
