In the Hat Business.


 Every night some six or seven sun burned men come uptown from the water front laden with hats, silk hats. caps, bonnets-everything in short, that is worn upon the head in this city. How they get their strange burdens is a strange story. They are. by trade. hat finders, and business begins and ends with them with the beginning and ending of the river excursion season. It Is the hats of river excursionists that they find-the hats which the strong river winds blow off into the water, much to the owners anger and modification. The fipders lie in wait in boats off shore, and when they see a hat it Is theirs. These hats are usually in pretty good condition. and sell read fly to the dealers in second .hand cloth- ing.

New Orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS, July 6.-Cotton-There was no spot market today and there was only a couple of hours work done in fu- lures, as the Cotton Exchange closed at II o'clock as a mark of respect to the memory of I. E. Glenny. The very brief session, however, was brisk enough. New York was closed on account of holi- day observances, but Liverpool came in at loss of 2-32d on spots and 2-64d to 3-64d on deliveries: and this market, in sympathy therewfth. opened down 1o915 points ail along the line. After the first call matters quieted down considerably but there was still in evidence an incli- nation to hammer values and at the hour the board showed net losses from yester- days level of 12G14 points on all posi- tions.

South African policy in the London
newspapers this morning After
speaking of the insane folly and de-
grading policy of farm burning in
South Africa, he continues:
"From the first the nation has
been hoodwinked by an elaborate
fabric of calumny and falsehood Ac-
counts of the Boer conspiracy 10

These promoters, Harrison charges,

activity of the Northern Pacific to-

Pacific surveyors are reported to be
at work on the Nez Perez fork of the

toward Gibbonville. From Gibbons

FIVE HUNDRED SEE GAME
Gallantry of Home Team Wouldn't Permit
the Boys to Beat the Sweet Things
Too Bad.

They came and went-the Bloomers
and the boys haven't had the heart
to look at bat since and the sight
of the small white sphere brings forth
a sigh of momentuous expression from
the depths of each ball players
bosom
The boys were so tickled at having
found something they could beat
that they made standing offer of
$97 per if the girls would only stay
and play hall every day.
The Boomers arrived in their
special car and remained closely at
home until time for the game. The
grounds had been surrounded by
high canvas fence carried by the
Bostons. When the boys were con-
fronted by the braw lassies from
Boston dressed in gay red bloomers
and plump black hosiery, they we're
ready to collapse and give up the
game right there, but at the urgent
request of friends they fought of
the spell Of the "bloomer eye" and
beat the girls just enough to keep
them from forgetting that they we're
up against the Lords of Creation.
The game was called by umpire
Drew Boutwell, Lansdon went to
bat for Weiser and the whole team
grinned to think what an easy thing
they were up against Lansdon
grabbed his club and threw his eye
towards the box. He caught sight
the pitcher-a petite little brunette
with deep eve that said "look OUT
every time she swung her arm for a
throw-and for a moment lost his
head, but recovered IN time to save
himself on third strike by lifting a
safe two-bagger. Then Thomas and
Boutwell, followed and found the
ball little crooked but landed and
made runs before the side went out
Then the girls pranced up to the
plate and Julia Clair, the third base
mink with short golden curls, siezed
the rolling pin and blffed the first
ball that came. Hayes, seeing hel
coming like wild dear for first
gasped and grabbed his heart, forget
ting the ball entirely until the um
pire cried ''safe.
Nettie Woods, tall cross looking

and the bali struck her wrist, tn

Riches of Salmon and Little Salmon
Section.
RESOURCES NOW DEVELOPING
More Territory Being Added to the CONNER
cial Backing of Weiser

Few people have any idea of the
splendid country being developed
along the Little Salmon and main
Salmon rivers, and as the building
of the state wagon road is drawing
attention to that section it is time
that a more general knowledge was
disseminated We shall do this in a
condensed form in this article, leav
ing more detailed particulars for fu-
ture occasion.
Beginning about seven miles be-
low Round Valley on the Little Sal
mon and clear to the mouth of the
main Salmon, where it empties into
Snake River, a distance of about
seventy miles, there is a continuous
series of excellent farms and or
chards selling their products TO the
stOckman prospector and miner.
The Little Salmon and main Salmon
flow between two very extensive stock
ranges on either side the hills being
covered with very luxuriaut sup
ply of bunch grass. The stock in
dustry has been established in this
section but very few years, and
for reasons hereafter given, has
hardly seen its beginning. There
are at present about 80, 900 head of
sheep and 1000 or 5000 head of
cattle ranging along the two Salmons
The capacity of that country is at
least ten times that amount. Stock
men have not made their headquar-
ters there because of the isolation of
the country, but with the opening
of the state road and easy means of
access to the p. & l. N. and O.. S.
L. Railways, it will rapidly progress
to full possibilities in stock produc.
tion. The traffic from this industry
is assured to southern outlet
Sheepmen are eager for the road to
be completed as they are anxious tC
take the seasons product of WOO
out to the railway at Council. They
have heretofore been taking mnch oi
it out to lewiston They have tried
the plan of driving to Meadows and
shearing even before the construction
of the P. & | NJ, and hauling the
product TO Weiser. But as they
cannot drive through the very rougf
CANYON of the Little Salmon, through
which the road will pass, immed
lately below Round Valley, and the
lateness of the season before thu
snow will permit passage over th'
mountain route which avoids th'
canyon, they find this method diff
cult.
The mining industry promises Il
become far more important, but L
and has been suffering from the sam
isolation which has caused develop
ment to proceed so slowly, but witt
a first class wagon road down th
Little Salmon, scores of claims nov
held by annual assessment work onl
can be fully and cheaply developed

and active production be established
