NEW ARco.

"New Arco," is the name of
a thriving town springing up
on Lost river, a few miles from
the old Arco station. The Sal
mon River railroad passes right
through the new town, and with
the railroad and shipping facili-
ties we look for New Arco to be
little city of considerable inn
portance. 1t is located right in
the heart of a vast and rich farm
ing and stockraising country.
Besides it is the shipping point
for great mining region. Cen
trally located as it is, we can see
no reason why New Arco in few
years will not be a city of 1000 or
1000 people, as it has every ad-
vantage to make it. After cross
ing the desert from Blackfoot it
is the first point reached in the
Big Lost river valley. Pleas
antly located on the banks of
Lost river, and a mild and en-
bracing climate will make the
new town desirable business
as well as a comfortable place to
build homes.
Large business and residence
lots are at present selling at from
S25 to S125 each, which depends
upon the location. When you
purchase real estate in New Arco
there is no restriction clause in
the deed relative TO the sale of
Intoxicating liquor. The prop
erty is yours, and you can do
what you please with it. We are
informed that already in the
neighborhood of $4,000 worth of
real estate has been sold. This
is no boom town, but is a solid
business proposition.
New Arco is located in Blaine
county, just across the line from
Custer county. The new town
will soon have school and other
educational advantages which are
essential in any community. j..
H. Greene, the enterprising and
most highly respected pioneer
merchant of Houston, is erect
ing large mercantile house in
New Arco, and when it is fully
stocked will be credit to any
city. Mr.. Greene also in com
pany with Joseph Rodgers, the
wealthy sheep owner of Challis,
we are informed, will soon com
mence erecting a large hotel in
New Arco. Not only this but
other business houses and resi-
dences will shortly be under con-
struction. The depot and other
railroad buildings on the new
townsite will also add to the adj
vantages of new city which is
springing Ph@nix-like out OF
the sagebrush in the heart OF
one of the grandest agricultural
and stock-raising regions in
Idaho.
New Arco townsite is owned
by such reliable business men
and citizens as j. HI. Greene,
Engineer Ashton, Chief Engineer
of the Oregon Short Line Rail
road, Otto B. Fleischer, U. S.
Commissioner, Geo. S. Corser,
and Messrs. Fox and Smith.

CRANES MINES.

Henry Simons writes the Boise
Statesman Of the Sheep Noun
tain mines as follows
This section seems to be look
ing up. On my way down here
l passed the Bull Dog mine,
owned by Charles Crane of Salt
Lake, and gentleman in Boise.
Mr.. Crane showed me over the
entire group of four claims, and
in % years Of prospecting and
mining | have never seen such a
showing. The lode is simply
immense, 40 feet wide at its mar
rowest point, and opened up for
5000 feet in length. Shafts, cuts
and tunnels all show ore and an
enormous amount is now on the
dumps. At the Bull Dog a cross
cut tunnel is now being run,
which will cut the lode about 400
feet deep. A car and track have
been packed in, and everything
moves like clockwork. When |
passed the mine Mr.. Crane was
polishing the head of a drill, and
another man was doing the same,
no stop or let up, for as soon as
the lode is tapped it will open up
the most wonderful ledge in Ida
no. Timber and water are plenti-
full right on the ground, and only
10 miles from the state road at
Cape Horn. Mr.. Crane don't say
much about the mine and invites
everybody to take specimens, but
he is doing lots of thinking.
while at the Josephine lake
| met three men from the Rufus,
under bond to Colonel Dewey.
They had quit work. The fore
man, one Smith, went to Boise
a month before to get grub, and
had failed to show up. They
said the Rufus looked well and
under proper management would
be a good mine
II also heard of Messrs. Biggs,
Hasbrook, Hogsett, Bates and
others, all working on their
claims, which were all looking
we'll.
why some of the moneyed
men don't get in this section is
a mystery. Any one to see the
Bull Dog mine would be surpris-
ed. Mr.. Crane is the kind OF
man to open up a property. He
don't scratch the surface, as most
of the owners in the country Go;
he gets down in mother earth
and does the work in thorough
workmanlike manner. He has
opened up his claims and ac-
complished more in three seas.

IMPORTANT SCHOOL QUESTIONS.

He rules that school board has
no right to employ % teacher in
its schools who does not hold a
certificate issued under the Idaho
laws.
He also states that county
superintendent has no authority
to issue a permit" to teach to
those who do not hold certificat-
es. This is quite generally the
custom in some parts of the
state. If a teacher secures a
school, and is then unable to
pass the examination, the super
intendent issues a permit to this
teacher to fill her engagement
for the one term. The attorney
general says that this practice is
wholly without foundation in law.
The opinion was rendered in
response to a request made to
Miss French, the state superin-
tendent, for information along
these lines. The request was
from one OF, the members of the
board of education in a town hav-
ing an Independent district or
ganization. The attorney gen
eral rules that this fact makes no
difference.
Mr.. Martin, in his opinion,
which is addressed to Miss
French, says in part :
Under our school laws Meth.
er the state superintendent nor
the county superintendent have
authority to grant permits for
teaching the public schools of
this state.
County superintendent have
no authority to recognize certi-
ficates granted by other states,
and the state board of education
can only recognize certificates
granted by other states, after
examination carrying the same
requirements as those of the
laws of Idaho.
In the letter referred to, 1
find this question: TO suppose
we do employ a thoroughly com
petent teacher who has not an
Idaho certificate, what is the
penalty 2 And again, Does not
the fact that we are an independ-
ent district have something to
do in the matter P
I'm answer to the first ques-
ton, as to what would be the
penalty for employing teacher
who holds no certificate, | would
call your attention to section s,
page 225 of the session laws of
1901. Under this section of the
statutes, it would be the duty of
the county superintendent of that
county, and it would be the duty
of your Office to see that said
duty was performed, to notify
the county treasurer of said &C
ton of the trustees of said dis
trict and to withhold from the
said district ali the public
moneys which had been appor-
toned to it.
I'm answer to the second ques-
ton The fact that his town is
an independent district does not
in any manner affect this ques-
ton.
There is no reason to sup
pose, as this letter assumes. that
competent teachers cannot be
found who hold certificates, OIL
that the teachers in the schools
of Idaho holding first grade GER
titicates earned by work and
secured by examinations. are not
at least as competent as those
who come here from other states
and hold no certificates, and
whose greatest anxiety seems to
be to escape examination. The
school trustees in this state
might as well understand that
they must comply with the laws
of the state"

UNUSED RAILWAY TRACKS.

OrOusly Pushed.
AT conference yesterday between Engi-
neer Commissioner Beach and Gen. Har
ries, vice president of the Washington
Traction Company, 1t was decided that
the work of removing the unused railway
tracks on the city streets should be rapidly
pushed until they were all up The work
OF removing the tracks 4th street north
west has just been completed street Is
being worked on now: street will be
cleared next, and then the tracks on
Louisiana avenue west OF 9th street will
be taken up.
The Commissioners have been petitioned
and interviewed several times during the
past year by the commission merchants
located on Louisiana avenue to have that
thoroughfare put in better condition 1t
is stated In their petition that more busi-
ness is done on the block between 9th and
10th streets on Louisiana avenue than on
any other block in the city. and as all of
this business Is in produce and has to be
handled in wagons, the street should be In
excellent condition. 1t Is claimed by the
merchants that several wagons are broken
every week on the protruding rails. and
customers of the commission merchants
are demanding that goods be loaded on their
wagons on 9th street instead Of in front
or the commission houses at which they
are purchased.

PARROTS TALK TOO MICH.
subject of Complaint, Upon which
Regulation fs PrOnOsed

Mr.. A. Leftwich Sinclair, the acting
prosecuting attorney for the District In
the Police Court, has written to the Dis
trict Commissioners stating that, In view
of several complaints made to him during
the past ten days, respecting noisy parrots
IN the District. he recommends that article
VII section 4, of the police regulations be
amended to read follows:
No person shall own or keep. within
the District of Columbia, any fowl, parrot
Or bird which. by Growing, cackling, talk
ing or singing, or in any other manner.
shaii disturb the comfort and quiet of any
neighborhood"
IN submitting the proposed amendment
ana speaking of the matter Mr. Sinclair
says:
Il believe these complaints to be well
FOUNDED and think the keeping of parrots
should be regulated by the Commissioners
1t seems TO me that the loquacity of the
parrot, If loud and boisterous,' constitutes
Just as great nuisance I'm a community
ana IS quite as much calculated to disturb
the comfort and quiet of the residents
thereof as the growing of the cock or the
cackling of the hen"
The Commissioners have not as vet acted
upon the matter.

CIVIL SERVICE RETIREMENT.
A Movement Started to Obtain Cor

A Movement Started to Obtain Con-
gressiOnal Legislation.
With a thorough organization the United
States Civil Service Retirement Association
has begun a movement on a large scale to
secure legislation authorizing the retire
ment on limited pay of superannuated gov
ernment employees.
The association Of which Jacob w. Starr
Of New Jersey is president and Pickens
Neagle of South Carolina first vice presi-
dent, has just addressed circular letter
to government employees throughout the
country soliciting their cooperation in the
effort to "obtain q provision for the retire
ment, under proper conditions, Of employees
who become incapacitated by age or other
cause"
The essential feature Of the plan is the
establishment of a fund by contributions
from the salaries of employees. and without
expense to the government, but under the
management and control of Congress- The
circular states emphatically: I'VE do not
contemplate and do not favor a civil pen
sion list maintained by the government"
The principal purpose Of the circular is
to secure data from the $4,000 employees OF
the government, most of whom are outside
of Washington, to serve as the basis for
bill to be submitted to the next Congress.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
pecial Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, August 1.-The stock mar
ket opened slightly better than the closing
level of yesterday. and developed a strong
undertone during the forenoon. There was
little news to give direction to prices, but
there was an absence Of selling pressure.
News from the steel strike was meager,
but yesterdays reports were shown to
have been misleading.
Delay in reaching settlement was made
much of In certain quarters, but conserva-
tive judges were disposed to regard the
outlook as promising an early settlement
strong and weak by turns. yesterdays buy
ers and sellers occupying similar positions
today. An effort to revive interest in the
corn scare met with only partial success,
the selling of the railroad stocks being
purely professional in almost every In
stance.
The buying Of st. Paul and Union Pacific
on scale-down was again in evidence al
though there was nothing new offered as
encouragement to the demand. Both stocks
reacted during the final hour in sympathy
with the daily attack on the Steel issues.
Ine soft coal shares were taken in round
amounts during the morning, the buying
OF this group being conspicuous feature
OF the mornings business. Norfolk and
western was again the leader, with Chesa-
peake and Ohio following under a SYM
pathetic demand
Erie and Reading gave some indication
OF new buying and responded easily. The
coal shares as a class are not included in
any of the disturbing gossip of the street
unless Readings small strike difficulty be
considered. On the contrary, inside inter-
ests are said to have supporting orders
under the market and predict important
developments In the consolidation plans
later In the season.
There Is scarcely commission house in
position to influence prices. owing to the
fact that customers are away from town
and are Indifferent to the immediate course
of prices. Just SO long as there Is no
pronounced decline there will be little
concern over speculative holdings in the
railway list. Conditions all make for dull
ness, and a decline as a forerunner of an
advance Is likely.
There are no symptoms of misIrust, and
no occasion for immediate concern as to
earnings and dividends. If stocks are to be
marketed by the millionaire interests, an
advance Is almost certain to be undertaken
as preliminary to such action. A canvass
Of the street discloses the fact that q dull
market Is expected, but that no permanent
decline is in sight
Professional traders have another month
Of control ahead, but they are not likely
to find the market unsupported at any
time. The orders under the market in GER
tain Of the Vanderbilt securities are point
ed out as evidence Of q condition which Is
more or less general.
