The article below may be a little
old but as the paper was not is
sued last week we would like to let
outside places know hat the chief
executive of this nation stopped as
he passed through Battle Noun

number of our citizens who hap
pened to be at the depot. 1t was
previously stated that the train
would pass through between the
hours OF 4 and D O'Clock Sunday
morning and there happened not
to be a large crowd at the depot.
1t happened that the train was late
that morning and a number of our
citizens were Mt the depot. As
the train stopped the President
appeared on the ear platform of
his car the Olympia" bowed and
smiled upon those assembled and
then decended the car steps where
he shook the hands of all present,
and at the same time asked several
interesting questions in regard TO
our neighboring mining camps
and our resources.

OF Thee We Sing.

We sing a siren song OF u

lar neighborhood we sing Justify
especially when we are real es-
tate agents and editors of news
papers. :.
1t sometimes happens that emil
grants from the Mississippi Valley
and farther east after living a short
time in the Garden of Gods, which
means the Palhouse country, are
dissatisfied with everything here
and say they have been mlslnform-
cd. mislead and cheated into com
ina to an undesirable place,
Let us examine the facts for a
moment. The railroad companies
have two objects in view in get
ting settlers to come here and they
scatter a good deal Of l%iteratule
broadcast through the land. Their
statements. as well as those OF real
estate men and editors are often
misleading when effectively true.
For example, the statement that
4he average temperature here III
Winter is ffty-two degrees above
zero may be true, but it Is only a
half truth. There are some days
and nights colder than that-ln-
deed the mercury has been known
to 90 below zero. Sometimes 1t

but back in the states where

that. it is said. that il a mule hap
pens to kick up just as the blizzard
comes, he freezes with his hind
legs up, and sometimes he stays
that way all Winter and comes
down only when Spring arrives.
The statement that the average
temperature here in Summer is
eighty degrees above zero may be
true-probably is SO. 1t might be
added that some days are warmer
than that and some nights a good
deal colder The temperature is
very rarely one hundred above
zero and the mercury does not 60
up SO suddenly as to heat the
glass hot enough to break it.
We have big ranches. big business,
big herds of stock, big fruit, big
wheat, big everything. We may
not yet equal California for big
lies, but we are learning. A story
told once that in California is: one
dairy ran FIVE a mills with butter
milk. 1t was true IN a way. Five
men sawed wood and were fed on
buttermilk.
Complaints from newcomers are
generally from young people who
have grand expectations and who
have left a sweetheart in the east
and think that one is about the
only real cute sweetheart there is,
and that there will not be sweet
hearts enough to go around; but
to those who have seen enough of
the world to know that a great deal
of it is worse than this vicinity,
this is a very good country

of her choice, dressed in a most
beautiful. white Wedding gown.
She was attended by her sister
Miss Opal. similarly dressed. Mr..
John Lindsay, brother of the
groom acted as best man.
A splendid wedding feast was
served after the ceremony, and II
half the JOY comes to the couple
that was wished them they will in
deed be blessed.
The bride is a Nevada born and
raised young lady, esteemed and
loved by all. She has taught
a number of different schools and
was acknowledged to be one of the
| States most successful teachers.
Mr.. Lindsay, al for eight years
q resident of Golconda where be
followed principally the occupa-
ton Of mining, being an owner IN
the Glen Levitt and Glen Lyon
mines. 1t was there that he first
met Miss Miller, wooed and won
her. He has n%umberless friends
there and wherever he Is known, to
wish him and his fair bride all the

joy, happiness and prosperity that
can come to those just entering
into blissful matrimony.
The groom and his bride took
the afternoons train for Salt Lake
where they will spend their hon
eymoon, after which they will go to
St. Anthony, Idaho, where Mr..
Lindsay recently engaged in bus
mess.
They were the recipients of
many beautiful and costly wedding
gifts. some even from across the
oepan, from Scotland, Mr.. Lind

on them in abundance during all

He Was It.

A young hopeful, who, because of a
slight cold, had been allowed to re.
main home from primary school few
days ago and whose tender vanity had
been pampered when he was allowed
to remain in bed. gave signs of marked
improvement by sitting up and an.
nouncing that he had decided to write
to his father. Pencil and paper were
brought, and as he had never attempt.
ed anything in letters quite as ambi.
tious before his mother was curious to
know what he was going to say. He
pondered deeply, made many erasures
and many fresh starts. but his mother
did not inspect the result of his labors
until with flourish and an air of
triumph he completed the signature.
This was what she saw when she
looked over his shoulder:

The statements regarding the health
of the young man and Bruno We're in

mother was the signature.

Fashions In Mourning.

Entire gowns OF crepe for either the
street or the house are exceedingly
handsome, always becoming and rich
In appearance. When the material is
used for house gown there are gener.
ally trimmings of dull jet used on it.;
for the street there is absolutely no
trimming, so that the beauty of the
material is seen to perfection. Grape
wells are made of n much lighter
weight of Grape than formerly, and it
Is the fashion to put them on hats as
we'll as bonnets, although this is
very new fashion that has not gener-
ally been adopted. A small round, fiat
hat has long veil that falls down to
the very hem of the garment in front,
and in fat box-pleat at the back. and
is considered correct for a Widows
mourning. The smart Marie Stuart
shape for the bonnet, on which the
Grape veil is pinned in folds that fall
back from the face, is the most univer.
sally popular, although within the last
year the fashion of fancy bows and re-
settes, either directly in front of the
bonnet or at one side, has been very
much affected.-Harper's Bazaar.

owns small sugar bush and sells her
sugar and syrup every spring to few
rich families in New York, made no

toward exterminating the worms than

From early morning to night she
fought the mlscreants. She sent to

killed thousands of worms on the

taken time by the forelock and hung

before they lay their eggs. This is

Expert Women Paperhangors.


An extended inquiry has developed
the fact that Cleveland has five women
who are expert paperhangers. Two
of them are self-taught, and they are
all said to be fully as capable as any
men engaged in the same business.
Mrs. Charles Wolf has been engaged
in this work to a greater or less extent
for nineteen years. She supports her
self and two boys. aged nine and
twelve years respectively.
Nineteen years ago, while living in
Rockport, some work in paperhanglng
was needed in the home. and Mrs.
Wolf, after waiting for some time in
vain for the local jack-of alltrades to
''get around" became impatient.
"Ill do 1t myself" she exclaimed at
last. IL can do better job than he
can. anyway" and she did. Neighbors
who saw her work urged her to help
them out on needed repairs, and she
had all the work she could do.
After moving to Cleveland history
repeated Itself, and Mrs. VOLTS
friends, attracted by the neatness with
which her rooms were Inpered, made
inquiries, and learning that she was
her own paperhanger engaged her to
do their work. For fourteen years she
has worked at odd times nt this self
taught trade.
Mrs. Martin McGrath Is also a paper,
hanger. In her case her husband
taught her the trade, which was his
own. Her husband had been a soldier
in McKinley's regiment. There came
a time when the results Of the hard
campaigning OF earlier days made an
invalid of him. Then AIRS. McGrath's
accomplishments became useful and
she took up his business. which she
has practiced with success since.
Mrs. j. Landsberg claims thar she is
the pioneer woman paperhanger in the
State. She taught herself the trade
by hard experience, aud she has
worked at it for thirty-seyen years.
Her two daughters, Pet" and Jennie
Landsberg, are also expert artisans in
this trade, and received their instruc-
ton from their mother. The former
has worked at paperhanglng for six
teen, the latter eor eight years.
Our paper don't curl up and come
of, like the paper men put op," says
Mrs. Landsberg. Her older daughter
boasts that she does her work standing
ON a six-inch plank, while the one men
use Is eight Inches wide. .Cleyeland
