claim on the Clearwater for &c.
O0c, have served notice on the
original locators Of the Dewey claim
to shut down the mine and quit all
work on the same. The gentlemen
first named claim that the Waverly
lines overlap those Of the Dewey
and that the Waverly was located
first. The owners of the Dewey
called in the services Of Surveyor
Shannon, who relocated the lines
and according to this survey the
lines Of the Dewey in no way in
terfere with those Of the Waverly. |
Therefore the Dewey people declare
their intention of going ahead,

fuse to accept the lines as run by

post office. which is combined with q
telephone station and general supply
store. There are also a shop or two
and a goodly number of coy cottages.
The name of the station is Preston,
md this is its story:
Twenty years ago H. L. Preston
and his wife left West Virginia and
settled where the village now stands
Mr.. Preston bought small section of
land, and gradually added to ii by
buying adjacent property. The land
was cleared and planted, water piped
for household use and irrigation. and
the homestead grew to be prosperous
looking one. Mr.. Preston died seven
years ago, leaving his wife alone, with
the exception of son by former mar
| riage.
Up to this time there had been no
village, nothing but nicely cultivated
fruit farm, but Mrs. Preston, who is a
native of Connecticut, set about build
ing town. For number of years she
had been treating persons for slight
ailments, and gradually won reputa-
ton as a healer. Many persons came
to her and, liking the surroundings.
they stayed on in the neighborhood.
and little by little a number of houses
were put up. Mrs. Preston busted her
self in making life pleasan. for the
people gathered about her. She did not
organize colony, but kept all of her
interests separate. First she built
pretty schoolhouse, and for six wears
taught the children herself Then she
put up church. in which the services
We're and are entirely original. Mrs.
Preston calls her religion the religion
of inspiration" and she herself preach
es the sermons.
The Preston settlement is thoroughly
independent. There are children
enough to justify asking the state TO
provide for their education, but instead
the teacher of the school is hired by the
subscriptions of the parents. Mrs.
Preston had bridges constructed, the
are given a life tenancy free, which is
roads kept in order and new ones laid
out at her own expense. Her tenants
are given life tenancy free, which is
secured for themselves and their chill
dren, but Mrs. Preston keeps the title
in her own name.
No liquor is sold. The people live in
pretty vine covered cottages, and dur
ing the summer they all go to lake
IN the mountains, which is ten acres
in area and stocked with fish. where
camping facilities have been prepared
by the settlements fairy godnot her.
Everything is free to the villagers of
Preston at this mountain resort.-N.

RACE TRACK TOUTS.
Smooth Swindlers Who Fleece the
Uninitiated.
An Instance of the Success of
Their Confidence Game
Wall street Man
Taken In.

One OF the always interesting fea-
lures of an American race track is the
tout. He is interesting 20 the expert
cnced race-goer. who is amused and
astonished at the peculiar ability the
tout has for separating sucker" from
his money; he is interesting to the I'M
initiated. who plays the art of the
sucker" and who never realizes un-
til the next day or so that he has been
skinned" The tout has developed rap
idly since book-betting first became
popular. In the olden time, the tout
was usually n negro stable hand, who
was sincere in trying to sell what hi
regarded ms good information for n
couple of dollars or so. Then, when the
real information was lacking. fake tips
were offered, the little darkies relying
on their general appearance to bear
out their claims of stable connections.
The little darby was soon succeeded by
the white boy, and as the white boy
grew into n man, he continued his oc-
cupation, continually changing his
methods as the public became better
informed as tothe doings of this fixture
of the race track. Now the old ragged
tout is n thing of the past. The touts

last winter there WAS a special service
in church several miles distant from
Andoyer, winch Mr.. Coyle was desirous
that TIE members of his church and
sabbath school should attend. He en-
gagged from the livery stables the nee
essary number OF sleds to carry the en-
tire party and footed all the bills. Spe-
cial services at Andover on several &C
casions have brought large numbers
from outlying districts. All meal times
Mr.. Coyle would dine all such guests at
the hotels al his own expense. Last
winter he took his Sabbath school class
of some 40 members for a days out
ing TO jefferson, the county seat of

road fare for all the children, and in
