Inc new 2ddltlon TO the scnooi mouse
is practically completed and we now
have building that no town of our size
need be ashamed of We haye seen
better structures in towns no larger
than Cottonwood but our school will
answer the required purpose for some
time to come. We predict that it will
not be-many years before the school will
! again become too small and then Cot
tonwood will build a magnificent brick
structure.

phone message Wednesday announcing

; vOle, of Salmon river, and left on the
train yesterday to attend the funeral.
The deceased was an Idaho county pio-s
neer and for period conducted the Jer-

man respected by all who knew him. A
widow and two sons survive him. m.-Trib-

George and VIM. simen returned
! from Lewiston Friday with VIM. Simon's
brother and sister, Ed. and Laura ST.
mon, of Lancaster, Ohio. Ed. Simon
came to this section for his health, hav-
ing been i'll in the east for the past year.
We hope our climate will be benefcent
to him. and that he and his sister will
not alter their present intention of re-
naming here. The newcomers are re-
siding at the home of Mr.. and Mr.. VIM.
Schiller.
Talk about big grain yields We
wish some of our exchanges would find
something to print that will equal the
yield of barley field belonging to Ike
Zehner, near Denver. We have forgot
ten the precise number of acres, but it
was an ordinary sized field, and averaged
fraction over 100 bushels to the acre.
This is a better return than the average
this year, but all the yields on the prai-'
rie, in comparison with those of other
sections, are record breakers.
"Yes, the Wise Boy mine will soon be
shipping bullion" said Avery Moore.
'The mill frame is now being erected.
Our greatest difficulty has been the
scarcity of carpenters. Upwards of 40
men are employed at the mine. Three
eight-hour shifts are pushing the work
on tunnel No. 2, while the other en-
ployes are engaged in sawmill and con-
struction work. Unless something un-
foreseen happens the ten stamps will be
crushing ore by October 1. The first
months output will be the largest ever
credited to an Idaho mine, and it will
do much to stimulate development
work in camp that has been barely
scratched over, but is destined to pro.
duce millions. The Wise Boy mill has
cost us over $21 900 to date and is ad-
mittedly as fine plant as has ever been
shipped to the west. 1t will pay for 1t
self the first thirty days, and there are
many other Wise Boy mines in Buffalo
Hump"
President Baer, of the coal trust, has
caused much indignation throughout the
country by writing letter aseribing the
possession of the coal fields by himself
: and associates to divine intention. His
letter says in part: 1.-THE rights and
interests of the laboring men will be
protected by the Christian men to whom
God in his infinite wisdom has given
: control of the property in this country" !"
Talk about assumption Why, the un-
diluted ass Does he think all the la
: boring men are 80 ignorant as to believe
that God has hand in the formation OF
any harmful offibination and does he
expect them to humbly do his bidding
on the strength of the above assertion
a 1t is more than likely that some fine
day he will come to sudden awakening
and discover that the working man gen.
orally prefers the direct protection of the
f Lord Himself to having it dished out to
him by middle men and that he is in a
pretty good position to take his prefer
8 ence. -.
