A Story Of Stephen Glrard.

A characteristic story of Stephen
Girar,l was that he induced a boy to
work for him till he was q years old
by promising to give him good
start in life afterward. When the
time came. the young man applied
for the promised reward. The &C.
centric old merchant looked at him
for n moment and then said gruiily,
"Go and learn trade" Consider
ably cast down, for he had expected
very different sort, the young man
turned away. but after some retiec-
ton, knowing something of the
others peculiarities, he decided to
do as he had been hidden and learn
ed the coopcr's trade.
When he had mastered it year
or so later, he presented himself
again, and the old man gave linn an
order for two barrels. He made
and delivered them, and Mr.. Glrard
examined and praised them. Now
he said, you have capital that you
cannot lose, for YOU can always fall
back on your trade if you meet with
adyersity," and then he advanced
his protege a considerable capital
with which to start in business.

An effort is being made in San
Francisco to boom the Philippines,
1t is the desire of the promoters to
boom the islands similar to the boom
which Alaska has received for the
last few years. Doubtless there are
many good openings for enterprlslng
Americans in the Philippines, but the
great trouble will be that so many
will rush in who are not capable OF
taking care of themselves.

Thunder Mountain Mail Route.

The question of the authorized mail
route 10 Thunder Mountain is still an
open one and the northern routes have
still an equal chance with the southern
routes for being made the official route to
the new camp. This is the exact status
OF the matter, as the writer obtained il
from A. r. Butler at Pocatello last week.
Mr.. Butler is the postoffice inspector sta
toned now at Boise, Idaho, and he has
received authority from the department
to proceed to Thunder Mountain and to
ascertain by personal investigation which
is the most feasible route TO carry mail to
the new camp. Mr.. Butler said that il
would be the last Of May or the first OF
June before he could get into Thunder
Mountain over any Of the southern routes,
as he did not expect to go in till it was
possible to ride into camp. When asked
about the status Of the northern routes
MIR. Butler said he expected to 90 in by
one Of the southern routes and to come
out by one of the northern routes if In
spector Lind approved Of the plan. L
not he wonld 60 back over another o
the southern routes.

The county commissioners had under
consideration this week the question Of
fixing the salaries Of the county officers
for the years 1903 and 1904. A few
changes were made. the principal one
being the raise of $500 in the salary Of
the county assessor. The assessor has
heretofore received $7soo for his services
but he will now receive &3ooo. He ID
the highest salaried officer in the county
but is the only one required to furnish
his own deputies. The rapid growth Of
the county has detailed more " ork upon
the assessors Office and his former salary
was wholly inadequate. The other sal
aries raised were those of the treasurer
and the surveyor. Below is list Of the
present and new salaries for comparison:
