Rip Mining Contract.

The largest contract ever let by a
mining company in the state of Colo
RADIO for the delivery of ore to reduc-
ton works or smelters was made last
week when Dudley NJ. Gray of Grip
Die Creek closed a contract with the
independence mine management for
the delivery of 200 tons of ore per day
from that mine continuously for Pc
Rod of five years. The work of break
ing ore at the mine for transfer under
the terms of the contract agreement
with the reduction firm has been be-
gun. Outside Of the immense magni-
tude of the contract in the matter of
the ore tonnage which it involves for
the whole period stated, it also repre-
sents the greatest amount of value in
ore production for any like period of
tine which has ever been made from
any exclusively producing claim
containing the same amount Of pro-
ductive territory within its prescribed
limits.

The coming fashionable apartment
house will have storage rooms for au-
tomobiles. When houses were fitted
up with bicycle storage rooms it was
regarded as something decidedly
modern" A new apartment house
in New York is being planned with au-
tomobile storage rooms. The owner OF
the house intends to rent apartments
only to persons who are wealthy
enough to own automobiles. Every ar
rangement will be provided for charg-
ing storage batteries, and this will
necessitate the keeping of a staff of
mechanics to clean, oil, repair and ad-
just the motor machinery Of the self
goers. In some cities the liverymen
have practically boycotted the automo-
bile, claiming the electric vehicles in
lures their trade.

In Paris there has recently been
opened special cemetery for dogs
where the deceased CANNES can be
buried with as much pomp and be
marked by as pretentious a headstone
as their late masters can afford. Along
the front Of the cemetery grounds a
handsome stone wall has been erected,
and within the entrance on either side
are the house of the concierge and the
Office. Directly in front of one enter
ing is a handsome marble monument.

Punctureless Tires.

A German scientist has patented
what he asserts to be puncture proof
tire filing. The filing is jelly made
Of glue. Glycerine is added to prevent
hardening, and an antiseptie prepare
ton that keeps it from fermenting
The mixture is first heated until it
liquefes and is then beaten to u stir
foam When in this frothy condition
it is introduced into the tire or saddle
and allowed to cool and partly solid
ify. The result is a light, spongy ma
terial of cellular formation, exceeding
ly light in weight and proof against
tacks, nails, glass and all puncturing
objects

Mt. Marcy's Volcanic Tendency,

Mt. Marcy, the highest mountain IN
the Adirondacks, is very uneasy, with
volcanic tendency. This mountain is
one of the curiosities of the Adiron-
dack section and it is said to be the
first mountain in the world to have re-
ceived the cooling breezes after the
chaos period, and to this fact is at
tributed the continued salubrity Of the
air and general healthfulncss of the

POWERFUL IN EMPIRE,

me AE@u WHO D8ESu 20 DISODSy n RSSiAI-
road President.
The great soldier Is the man who, as
subordinate, on all ordinary occa-
sions obeys orders implicitly, but who,
when the great emergency arrives,
knows that, to save the day and his
country, he must obey. He breaks
his orders on his own responsibility,
knowing that the result and the future
will justify him. Failure would be his
ruin. Success may mmortalize him.
And If he is great, he knows that he
shall succeed. One of the members Of
the Russian imperial cabinet, Monsieur
WHITE, minister of finance, is one of the
most powerful and important men in
the empire Highly esteemed and
trusted by the emperor, he is respected
and honored by the representatives Of
foreign powers Yet Monsieur Witte
is Of humble origin-a fact which, in
Russia, where every circumstance fav-
ors the man of noble blood above the
plebeian, has counted for much against
him. Monsieur White. in his early
life, after an imperfect education, was
made station-mastor at small and un-
important railway station in southern
Russia. The war between Russia and
Turkey arose. and hundreds Of thou
sands Of soldiers had 70 he tra2sportedi
into Rounania and Bulgaria. One day
Monsieur White, in his station, received
Geographic instructions to make GER
tain arrangements in connection with
the passage of these troops along the
line. In Russia orders from a high
source, connected with the affairs Of
the government, are terrible things, not
to be disobeyed But this young man
saw that obedience in the present in
stance would create great confusion, If
not positive disaster His superiors
had told him to do the wrong thing.
He ventured to violate his instructions,
and to do the right thing. The pres
ident Of the railway summoned the
young man before him, and asked why
he had presumed to disobey his tele-
graphic orders in matter of such vast
consequence. Monsieur Witte told
him why, and convinced him that he,
the station-master, was right, and that
the orders were wrong. Instead of re-
moving or Furnishing him, the chief of
the road advanced him. Afterward
this railway president Monsieur Wich-
negdradsli, was called to St. Peters
burg to assume place in the imperial
cabinet. Remembering the man who
had so successfully disobeyed, he sent
for him and gave him post under
him. After that Monsieur Whites adj
vancement was rapid, and he rose to oc-
cupy the highest business" position in
the empire-that Of minister OF finance

A tortoise story comes from Center
Bridge, Bucks county. Edward John
son was walking over his farm the
other day, when he picked up a land
tortoise bearing the initials of his
father, D. R. Johnson, and the date
1916. These initials were cut on the
tortoise when Mr.. Jonnson's father,
who has been dead several years, was
a boy of seventeen, making the tor
toise over fifty-four years old. 1t has
been picked up on the farm several
times by members Of the family, but
had been missing for number of
years. The farm has been in the pos

All should Swim,

The remarkable number Of deaths
by drowning proves that too many per-
sons venture into waters without
knowing how to swim. About so per
cent of those drowned so far this sum-
mer did not have that knowledge. This
is all the more wonderful when knowl-
edge of swimming may so easily be
mad. A person OF average physique
should be able to swim several hun
bred feet after a dozen lessons. Even
weakliEgs may be taught to swim %
feet or more without exhausting them
selves. There are dangerous places on

the people being much more anxious to
ship their stock out through Lewiston
and purchase their supplies here also.
from the fact that Elgin, the present rail-
road outlet, is too far away and not di-
rectly tributary, many have expressed
themselves in very business like way,
that if Lewiston would furnish good roads
they would switch their business here.
This is golden opportunity and if this
city ever wants to control the trade Of
that section and retain it, now is the
time to act as delays are oftimes fatal TO
business interests. / believe that an or
ganized movement should be started
towards impressing the Importance OF
securing this business which Is tributary
to us before those on the other side get
to work. It is Lewiston's field and q
little effort in that direction will give
her what is rightfully her own.
I'm conversation with Mr.. Bobby in
that country, he told me that he had
shipped cut band of sheep and had
sent part of them out via Elgin, but had
also shipped part from here, and he
stated that the saving he had made would
justify him in shipping out through
Lewiston altogether, If the roads were
only in little better condition.
THAT is only one instance Of what can
be done. In the Willowa valley there are
a few small towns, all tributary to Lewis
ton and these would have to necessarily
draw here for supplies.
Joseph has about 400 people and is q
very pretty town.
enterprise is seven miles this side and
is the county seat, with population Of
500.
"Lostine has about goo people, while
Willowa has about 400. This place is
built up very prettily. 1t has electric
lights, -four mill and number Of mod.
ern improvements.
IA private telephone is now being con.
structed between Paradise and Anatone,
which will give direct connections be-
tween Lewiston and the-entire Willowa
valley.
'sIn conclusion wish to say that the
entire stretch Of country between here
and Joseph is fast becoming populated
and in few short years the trade from
that country will reach such magnitude
that an effort now towards securing the
trade. will be amply rewarded by future
Developments.
