Many times We've thought the kaiser
Ought to be a little wiser
And not strut around with such lordly
air,
But each time that We were thinking
That his head required some shrinking
He'd surprise us with displays Of friend-
ship rare.
Some have classed him as buffer
Some havst even called him dufler.
But just when tffe,s. thought they had him
sized up right
They would get another notion.
For they'd hear from Ger the ocean
That tn Yankee deeds the kaiser found
delight.
Every time occasion offered
Hand Of friendship be has pronered
And 70 many ways his friendship he has
shown;
one Of fair Columhia's daughters
Named his conrser Of the waters
And he sent q prince g represent the
throne.
Every chance that was presented
Uncle sam he compimented,
And quite frequently bouquets our way
he tossed
He was loud III exuitation
Ger the triumphs Of this nation,
Just as though il were the empire that he
bossed.
By the kaiser's invitation
Ships that represent this nation
Gathered where be could a close inspee-
ton make;
Royal faYors he WIS showing.
More bouquets he then was throwing,
Saying that the Yankee sailors take the
cake
There is left no room for doubling
When we hear the kaisep shouting
And see him the hand of fellowship ex-
tend;
He's 50 hearty in his greeting
And warm praise So Oft repeating
That we must regard him as our German

Over Feeding the Horse.

While most horses on the farm are
properly fed, and in some cases under
fed rather than overfed, there are
farmers who are not judicious feeders,
and when the animal gets out of or
der they depend upon condition pow
ders to set it straight instead of regu-
lating the feed. 1t may not be gener-
ally known that prolonged use Of
condition powders will produce indi-
gestion of most violent type. Horses
that are fed on grains largely. and
who do not perform a great deal of la
Dor, are quite liable to indigestion, and
the easiest way to cure the trouble is
to cut Off the grain for week or more
and feed exclusively Of bran mashes
and good hay.

Big Irrigation, Project.

Spokane, Oct. 27.-Nearly 1000 600
acres of land in central Washington,
forming gigantic loop through the
Big Bend country from the north end
OF Douglas county to Pasco and circl-
ing up the Snake valley towards Spo-
kane and the Palouse, are likely to
have the immense benefits of irriga-
ton. Over three fourths of this vast
territory, about 100000 acres, will
get its water supply from the Spokane
river, few miles above this city. The
feasibility of this vast project is what
over a dozen of Uncle Sans engineers
are now investigating.

of copper on hand, largely in England,
as against total production Of 210.-
100000 last year. The Amalgamated
is not averse to a temporary shutdown,
because the market has been dull, with
no large buying orders.
The mill and mine owners and oper-
ators of the Galena-Joplin district have
contaminated plans for a total shut
down Of the mines and mills to force
the price Of ore above the prices now
offered by the smelling combine. Elk
tensive operators in Kansas consider
this to be the most practical and ef-
fective way Of raising the price of ore
and holding the price on par with
the price Of pig lead.
After working continuously for
nearly year, the Frisco mine at Gem,
Idaho, has closed for an indefinite Pc
riod and all the employees have been
discharged, except the men who run
the pumps and the hoist. The mill will
close after a few days to clean up all
the ore on hand. No reason is official
ly given, other than that orders came
from headquarters in the east. The
property has been shipping FROM 1000
to 1900 tons of concentrates month
during 1903, and as many as ITO men
have been employed.
Frank Mccain, who has been work
ing on the new Jumbo mill in Buffalo
Hump, has arrived in Lewiston, Idaho,
from the Hump. Mr.. Mccain reports
that he had to walk from the Hump
to Grangeville, the roads being in
such fearful condition that teams could
not travel. There was a foot Of snow
at the Hump when he left, and even
deeper mud a good portion Of the way
out. A large quantity Of mining ma
chinery for the Lucky Lad company
is on wagons part way into the Hump
from the railroad, but it will probably
be necessary to wait for freezing
weather before the machinery can be
hauled to the mine. Mr.. McGann says
the new Jumbo mil is working per-
fectly. The company expects to make
it's first cleanup at the end of a 80
days run, when it is expected that
$4,000 in gold will be gathered from
the plates, being $1,000 for each stamp.
The Ramese group of mines in
Stevens county, Wn., owned by AL
D. Hughes, the newspaper man, and,
F. D. Flack, has been bonded by Cleve-'
land, Ohio, people. The Rameses group
adjoins the American Flag on Goat
creek and was relocated by the pres.
ent owners in 1900. The property con-
sists of three claims and was formerly
known rs the Alaska group.
1t was reported that the new owners
of the Conquest mine, near Newport,
Wn., had struck nve foot ledge car
rying good values. The particulars of
the find are meager, but those inter-
ested in the property believe the Con-
quest is a mine.
