Letter from Eli.

Prof. Granville recently received
the following letter from Eli
Perkins who lectures at the opera
house next Monday evening for
the benefit of the Grangeviile
public schools 1t was dated on
the train in Illinois.
II will keep the lecture bureau
appointment to tell the absolute
truth in Grangeville for two hours,
Monday, April %. | never fail
to be on hand You will see what
is left Of me after riding over the
Sites branch railroad, sitting with
the driver on that stage which
comes in with foaming steeds.
We will leave Sites 1915 and will
reach Grangevillc some time
or other.
1t would be wise to hang out a
red light about 4 p. m, as tie
driver in his excitement may
drive by.
| have written Prof. kneppcr, of
the Lewiston Normal, that | will
be with him Tuesday, and that if
the Sites stage and railroad break
down | will walk back from
Grangeville and let my truth and
vcracity follow me ON the freight.
They say since Bryan failed to
connect at the last election that
many of your people, who don't
own sheep, are walking and
that your roads are fine.
My subject will be "Fun and
Fact in Japan and China" and
"Stories Around the Stove" My
talk, l don't lecture, will be along
scholastic lines, philosophical and
pure. At the same time l will
cause as much laughter as I dare
without making your people &C
into fits.
In the meantime may the angels
protect you from your friend and
co-laborer. "ELI PERKINS

The Salmon River Road.

Commissioners Casaday and
Witt returned Saturday from Sal
mon river where they attended a
meeting of the board and assisted
in surveying the route for the state
wagon road between this and
Washington county. They were
happily surprised at the few OBJ
stacles to contend with in the con-
structioa Of this route and are con-
fident that they will have the road
open for travel by Sept LIST. The
road to he built will extend from
Goif's ferry to Round valley a dist
ance OF ~ miles 1922 feet and n
great portion of the way is on an
open valley where the cost Of con-
struction will be practically moth
ing. The survey crosses little
Salmon river twice hut in both
places bridges can be easily built
and an abundance of timber can be
had on the spot.
w. IL. Cassidy was elected chair
man of the boar. with Il. Il. Lock
wood secretary and their next
meeting will be held in this city on
May LIST, when bids will be re-
ceived and the contract awarded.

A couple of petty graiters in
this county, who would like to
make the people believe they are
newspaper men, have worked
themselves into frenzy because
the county commissioners awarded
the printing to the FREE PREss
without asking their advice. This
is. not at all unexpected when it
is remembered that neither sheet
could exist six months on the pat,
ronage received from the public
and they are only kept alive by
their graft on the Lewiston land
office whereby they are able to ex-
tort exorbitant prices from every
homeseeker and prospector who is
compelled to secure a title to his
property through the federal land
office. Such people are always
ready to cry ''stop thief and in
their frantic efforts to deceive the
people they forget every principal
OF honor and resort to the most
malicious Interpretations their
depraved minds can conceive.
Such attacks are sure to react up
on the heads of the instigators, aud
their charges that the gentlemen
who constitute the board of com
missioners Of Idaho county have in
any way been dishonorable in the
performance Of their duties, is an
insult to the honesty Of the PEG
pie who elected them and will not
be forgotten. The contract for
printing is part of the public
record and every citizen can learn
for himself the price paid for every
article furnished and whether or
not it is in excess of prices
usually paid for such work. The
fact is that every item in the con-
tract is furnished to the county
at less than commercial rates and
these would-be editors knew il
when they published the statement
to the contrary.
The county commissioners have
i0thing to regret by their action in
the matter and long after these
land Office grafters are forgotten by
all save those they owe, the
members OF the board will enjoy
the esteem of a grateful people be-
cause they did their duty and did
it we'll.

] Under the law silver dollar may he
n grain ald a half over weight or a
grain and half under weight. and this
"llmit OF tolerance applies to all of our
silver coins. In other words, they are
not allowed TO vary more than that
much from standard. In the case of
goldpieces, the limit is half a grain
either way up to the eagle. n variation
of as much as one grain being permissi-
bic in the SO and 500 pieces.
Whenever fresh batch of dollars is
t=lrned out at the mint. samples are
forwarded TO the treasury at Washing
ton. where they are put through n very
curious process. Each dollar is first
weighed on exquisitely delicate scales
to make sure that ii is heavy enough
and yet not too heavy. Then it is pass
ed between two steel rollers again and
again until it is fiattened out and
transformed into thin strip of silver
sort of ribbon-a foot and a half in
length. Then it is put beneath a little
machine provided with several small
punches, by which hundreds of tiny
disks are punched out of the metal
strip.
Now, the object Of this performance
is to obtain samples of metal from all
parts of the dollar inasmuch as it is
conceivable that one portion might be
richer in silver than another The little
disks are shuffled together, and a few
of them, taken at random from the lot,
are subjected to an assay. Thus the
fineness of the material of the dollar is
ascertained with absolute accuracy
and, the weight having been already
determined, the value and correctness
of that coin are perfectly known.
The sample pieces having been found
correct, it is inferred that the entire
batch of dollars is all right.-Saturday
Evening Post.
