ale Is comin'.,'

Figuratiyely speaking there is a
very literal rut in life. 1t is worn
deep now, and smooth. Travelling is
easy along the path. Once upon a
time two brothers, Bill and Ely,
started out on a journey. Ely chose
his route in the open. Beyond the
Alps lay Italy and he could see the
Alps. 1t was a rocky road to follow.
Bill got the location of his Italy and
slipped into the path. Years after
ward some one accoSted him.
"How We maxim it, Bill?"
''Oh, I'm getting there, Ely"
"Comin' er .goin'?"
Cant tell until L come to station. -
Bill thought he was talking to his
brother, but Ely had crossed the
mountains.
For twelve years Scranton has had
a newspapers rut traveller. The
publishers of the paper never knew
whether they were comm or goin',
they avoided politics lest the choice
would give offence; they heSitated to
I take stand for fear they should lose
portion of the patronage, and it
borders on the truth that they could
not afford to lose much of it. We
have tried the same plan and al
though it looks we'll enough, the tim
berS are weak.
Hereafter the Gazette will be fus-
ion organ. This year we will holler
for Craddock and his ticket, and if we
never reach Italy we will at least have
the satisfaction of knowing where we
are.-Scranton Gazette.
The writer of the above is gradu-
ate If tn. Kansas State University.
He is bright and we'll educated and
we are surprised only tn vt he did not
get out of the rut long ago. He is an
independent thinker, there are not
many of them, most of us fellow NOR

leaders in turn get. their suggestions
from some one little higher up. 1t

the new route but he has thought it
out in his own way and all tn himself,
he has arrived at the conclusion that
it is best to think and act in lepend-

We are especially glad that Mr.. Seeds
will support Craddock this year. We
feel confident that he will never re-

more than three or four families

plenty of roasting ears here where
they have been given proper aUten-

of Strawberries and she says she sold
$4,000 worth of berries from it this
season. Five acres will keep a strong

here is rather uniform, the time the

A Letter From Boise City.

DOlSC SlOys 1OdIIO, w.
EDITOR HERALD.
Since my last letter to your esteem
ed paper my brother Fred met with
an accident which somewhat threw
gloom over our plans and prospects.
During the latter days of July we
were campcd in the Owyhee noun
tainS prospecting for gold, shooting
sage chickens, catching trout and
having good time generally. Fred
picked up a 40 calIbre revolver that
we had with US and in his attempt to
place it in the wagon it slipped from
the belt, dropped to the floor of the
wagon and discharged, the ball pass
ing through the palm of his right
hand. We were thirty miles from
surgeon that we knew anything about
S0- Mr.. French and l bandaged the
wrist to stop the flow of blood, hitched
our mules to the wagon and hastily
started for Caldwell a very gloomy
trip however. The flow of blood soon
ceased, we looSened the bandage and
our patient sat up in the seat and We
arrived in Caldwell in good shape after
a six hour ride. We found a doctor
by the name of Ichem who dressed the
wound and pronounced it in a very
good condition, taking everything in
to consideration. No amputation
was necessary, the hand bone to the
center finger was broken and probably
leave that finger stiff but the balance
OF the fingers he can use now. I'm
Christian Science lady treated the
wound to relieve pain, and singular as
it may seem he never lost an hour OF
sleep from the start.
We located and have fled on places
OF 20 acres each in the Owyhee range
and have taken 100 acres each on the
Snake river 10 miles from Caldwell
aud 80 from Boise. This land is
covered with sage brush and is part of
a valley 10 by % miles. The state of
Idaho has taken up a portion of the
land and will, no doubt, apply water
for irrigation by q ditch from the
river farther up the stream. The
land is very level and when water is
applied will be worth $4,000 per acre
as it will grow almost anything one
would wish to plant and the water
supply is inexhauStible. One feature
about my claim, is that it does not re-
quire a residence. Certain labor is to
be performed, but any one else can do
it and fulfill the requirements of the
law. 1t costs 25c per acre entrance
fee to start in and when final proof is
made an additional fee of $1.OO per
acre will be required before the eXpi-
ration of five years. There is a large
rock on the banks of the Snake river
and on its face is carved the outlines
of the river, giving the curves and
bends with cuts of animals to denote
where each abound, it is said to have
been done by the Indians as a guide
to those who might pass that way
unacquainted.
While on the river last week our
mules broke away about the break of
day and gave Mr.. French and 1 a 16
mile chase after them, all before
breakfast and on foot too. If man
had offered to hire me to make such a
chase would have thought it impoS-
sIble, but when we overlook the mules
at a ranchman's hay stack he said it
was 8 miles to the Ferry where we
had camped. The mules not being
broke to ride, we preferred to walk

The old soldiers who were turned
down by the republican conventions
all over Kansas for younger men will
probably not take very seriously the
PARTY protestationS in favor OF the
old soldiers. In this county the old
veterans were almost all lined up
against the boss and rightly SO for he
has no use for the old soldier. Hence
they are all left off the ticket.

Almost all ailments of children (and

Hough noticed his own train, but failed

pulled him back by main force. but not
until the train was within few feet

from instant death had it not been that
Mr.. Croft was near enough to assist
