WONDER OF SCIENCE.
Telephone Lines to Europe Assured
by Late Invention.
DR.. Pupin sells Ills Wonderful Long
Distance system for T200,OOO In
Cash and Yearly salary
of $1,000.

The Electrical Review announces the
purchase by the American Telephone
& Telegraph company Che parent Bell
company of the patents of DR.. NJ.
Pupin, of Columbia college, which, II
states, cover the art of ocean telephony
and which enable telephone messages
to be sent over any length of land
lines. II further states that the sum
of S2O0,OOO has been paid to DIR. Pupin
for the invention, with an annual sal.
airy to him during the life of the pat
snts of $500.
The invention referred to and for
which two patents were issued in June.
1900, is described at length, and it is
characterized as one of the most bril-.
liant and exceptional inventions of DR.
Pupin.

The Electrical Review, in describing
she invention, says:
''The essential feature of the inven-
ton, following the elaborate mathe'
matical analysis of the subject by Dr.
Pupin. consists of the application OF
inductance and capacity to such cir.

equivalent to continuous distribu'

A STOCK ROUNDUP ON SALMON RIVER

Rapid river falls into the Little
Salmon about six miles above the
junction of that river with the
Salmon proper, then runs south
west some six or seven miles and
forks, one fork going southwest
and the other south. least, and be-
tween the two forks lies the famous
Seven Devils copper region, most
of which is yet within Idaho
county; we say yet, because there
is a strip six miles in width in dis
pute between the authorities of
Washington and Idaho counties.
We are credibly informed that
within this disputed territory in
the last eighteen months has been
placed 100000 worth of personal
property. Third: but by no
means least in Importance, the
farmer has invaded these hills;
every creek and ravine contains
some level land and it is being rap
idly homesteaded; the soil on the
western slopes is inexhaustable and
produces abundantly without irri-
cation. All the fruits common to
the temperate zone can be grown
here; indeed are grown here now
and the product is of the finest
quality. Salmon river fruits will
at no distant day outrival those of
California except in oranges alone.
If Lewiston is the gateway to the
Inland Empire, as your good neigh
Dor of the Tribune truthfully calls
it, here is q little Inland Empire to
and from which White Bird is and
will be the gateway as long as these
rock.ribbed hills shall endure.

What are these 1915 miles good

and the bends and elbows are too
numerous to mention-there lie not
a more crooked river on the earth
