A Rare Treat
For Woman'S Club.

The Womans Club enjoyed a Feast
of reason and flow of soul'' Tuesday.
in the address of Prof. Theodosia Am
mons of Fort Collins and Mrs. Mabel
l.. Conklin, president OF the White
cross society of America. Miss Am
mons is professor of domestic science
at the Agricultural college and spoke
ON that subject. She said that only
ne-eighth of the homemakers of the
country were able to employ servants
therefore seven eights must do their
own work and all girls who expected
to become housekeepers should under
stand the science of cooking as we'll as
the practice. They should know just
how much food of each kind the hu-
man system requires for perfect de-
velopment; as we'll as knowing how
to prepare it. She said that one sta
tistician claimed that as much harm
had been done by poorly cooked food.
rs by alcohol At Fort Collins they
teach all branches of domestic labor.
and aim to ennoble it. If pupil par
ticularly objects to any one kind OF
work. they keep him or her at it un-
til they do it cheerfully and happily
as we'll as thoroughly and then they
are advanced to another kind of labor.
She thought boys should be taught at
least the elements of cooking, if for
no other reason, in order that they
might appreciate the labor required
of hou seville when they have homes
of their own. A few bows were in
the habit of taking the cooking course
at Fort Collins. Miss Ammons was
thoroughly imbued W ith her subject
and was listened to with much in
| terast.
Mrs. Mabel l.. Conklin spoke on
| 1.-The Uses and Abuses of the Marriage
| Relation She said that the White
cross society believed that the silence
enjoined upon us by the intense pre-
iudice against the discussion of this
and kindred subjects had given Satan
Just the opportunity he wanted to do
| his fiendish work She thought much
of the impurity found in the public
schools of today was due. through iu-
heritan to marital lntemperance
| The members of the White cross So
ciety had decided to come out
bravely and fight the social impurity
of the world. though they expect>d to
be frowned upon and denounced. She
plead for higher ide al of parentage
and the education of our young men
and women for parentage. 1t was n
brave subject, bravely and chastely
treated and every parent in Grand
Junction would have been benefited
| by hearing it. Some of the lessons
she drew by example were painful in
the extreme and demonstrated that we
sadly needed education in this matter
even at the expense of our falsely
called modesty. Mrs. Conklin spoke
with extreme modesty of demeanor
and made friends of all who heard
| her.
Mrs. Stone gave piano solo ''The
Chase and Mrs. Cropsey sang solo,
"Hus shen.'' The meeting occurred
at the beautiful new home of Mrs. A.
@. Newton About sixty ladies were
present and delightful refreshments
were served after the close of the pro-
gram 1t was decided to hold the pa
triotic meeting at the Elks hall on
February 25th and the members were
requested to dress in Colonial costume.
Each member is privileged to invite

Sold His Pack Train.

B. F. Taylor, who has been one
of the leading packers to the
mines in central Idaho, returned
to Grangeville, Tuesday, from
Thunder mountain where he has
been packing this summer. Be-
fore starting out Mr.. Taylor sold
his entire outfit and has not de-
cided whether or not he will again
90 into the business.
When he left there was still a
great amount of freight to be
taken in and difficulty was ex-
perienced in getting men to handle
it. The new state wagon road is
still nearly 30 miles from the
mines and the distance between is
a rough country where everything
is moved on the backs of pack ami
mails. The portion of the road
completed, Mr.. Taylor says, is
very good with easy grades but
there is lots of work to do yet be-
fore freight can go into the mines
on wagons. All work has been
stopped for the winter and it is
doubtful if the road is completed
next year, even if the appropria-
tion holds out.

A Rich Pocket.

B. X. l.. Poston, who made a
visit to Thunder mountain before
coming in from the wagon road
work, reports that he heard at
Roosevelt that very rich pocket
had been found in the lawer works
of the Dewey. He understood that
it was on the footwall that the strike
was made. The pocket was taken
out of the mine under close guard.
There were many stories afoat at
the time concerning the amount
and richness of the ore, some pla-
cling the amount $15, 900 and others
representing it ran up to several
thousand.
While over there Mr.. Poston
heard of a very rich strike out in
the trapper's fiat country. 1t was
made by man named Potter who
located it in the names of George
Bruce and Mans Coffin. Rock
taken from them and sent into
Roosevelt for assay ran up into the
thousands, the lowest return being
$50 a ton. The discovery was
made about a mile from the prop
erty being worked by George M.
Snow. Boise Statesman.

CRACKER JACK BULLION.
Gold Bricks to the Amount Of
$1,000 Brought Out.

Geo. Cooper, manager Of the
Cracker Jack mine, came out from
the Hump last Friday and brought
with him 81, 800 in bullion. The
mine is developing in splendid
shape and the mill is now being
run entirely on ore from the lower
tunnel and the expense Of hauling
ore has been dispensed with. The
new tunnel is also developing a
large amount of water which will
afford an abundance for the mill
and no trouble is anticipated on
account of shortage in this line
as was experienced last winter.
The pipe and all other material
for the electric plant is now on the
ground or on the road from Sites
except the dynamos and they have
been shipped from the east for
nearly two weeks. Upon their ar
rival it will only take few days
to complete the installation Of the
plant when a new epoch in the
working Of the property will begin.

New Dynamo Here.

The big new dynamo for the
Grangeville electric light plant ar.
rived here Monday and was taken
on down to the station on the
Clearwater. 1t was big piece Of
machinery weighing over 5000
pounds and it required Joe Blan-
chard's eight big horses to draw it
.over the road. Practically every
thing is now on the ground for the
completion of the plant and it is
expected that Grangeville will be
lighted by electricity generated on
the Clearwater within the next
month. The poles and wires are
all up and it will not be long job
to place the heavy machinery and
make connections.
The plant in present use has
been inadequate to the demand
for lights for some time and it has
only been through the closest at
tention to the management that
the town has not suffered seriously.
Mr.. Van Buren has been tireless
in working to give the town the
best service possible and we have
Jared much better than the aver
age town. When the new plant is
started there will not only be
abundant power for lighting pur-
poses but also all that is needed
for motors when desired.

More Pay Shoots.

Mat Gilbert came out from the
Hump last Friday enroute to Sc
attic on business connected with
the Buffalo Chief mines of which
he is general manager. When he
left it was reported that a rich pay
shoot had been struck on the Big
Buffalo but nothing definite could
be learned as the manager Of that
property was not talking. On the
Cracker Jack the ore body has
been struck on the $50 foot level
but the extent of the strike had
not been determined. On Monday
r. w. Hawley, secretary Of the
Cracker Jack company, received q
telephone from the foreman saying
that they had penetrated the new
ore body Is feet without reaching
the hanging wall. Mr.. Hawley
has gone into the mine to investi.
gate the strike and also look after
some other matters in connection
with the new electric power plant
which is now nearing completion
The general conditions around
the Cracker Jack are very crafty
ing to those interested in the prop
erty and rapid advance in the
price of stock lmay be looked for al
nearly all of it has been withdrawn
from the market.

Closed Their Dairy.

Gee Bros, who have been con-
Quoting a dairy for several years
past have decided to go out of
business and devote their time to
farming. They notified a large
number of their customers that
they would stop this week and as a
result there is a general scramble
around town to contract milk.
The business has been a profitable
one from the start and these gen.
tlemen are not going out of it for
want of patronage but to engage
in something that does not require
such close application. 1t is said
that one or two parties are trying
to negotiate for the dairy and it is
to be hoped they will succeed as
otherwise it will be hard for
Grangeville to buy milk since few
people have cows and have depend
ed entirely on the dairy for their
milk supply.

IDEAL WEATHER
october Was a Month of Bright
Sunshine.

Idaho county weather during
the month of October was certain
ly ideal. After the street fair the
sunshine came out and there was
hardly a cloud in the sky during
the remainder of the month. Mr..
Norwood's observations show that
the total precipitation during the
month was 2.37 inches and only
five cloudy days with seven partly
cloudy. The temperature was also
perfect for comfort the highest
point registered by the themom-
eter being 72 degrees on the 18th
and the lowest 26 on the night of
the Goth.
Such weather has not only made
it pleasant for everybody but has
been of great benefit to those who
had work to do. The farm work
is we'll advanced there being a
great deal of fall grain sown and
much of it up and growing nicely.
The mines have been busy getting
in machinery and supplies and are
in good condition for their winters 8
work. Altogether it has been a
perfect month for everybody and
the man who would complain of
Idaho county as she now is, is un-
grateful to his Creator and should
be banished fl ON civilization.

ROOKIE AGAIN
IN CUSTODY
Captured in Cottonwood Saloon Sunday
Morning.
he OFFERED NO RESISTANCE.
The Arrest Was Made By
Sheriff Geo.. Seay.

After four weeks of liberty
William Rookie, who is wanted on
several charges of horse stealing, is
again in Jail in Mt. Idaho. Since
his escape from the deputy sheriff
while on the road between here
and Mt. Idaho, Sheriff Seay has
devoted almost his entire time to
the case and was confident from
the start that he would eventually
be retaken. For several days past
Sheriff Seay had reasons to believe
that Rookie was in the vicinity of
Cottonwood and was accordingly
keeping sharp lookout but friends
of Rookie who were supposed to be
familiar with his whereabouts
made it difficult task by doing
everything they could to throw the
officers off the track. On Saturday
night Sheriff Seay engaged the as
sistapce of A. Harcleroad, John
Keller and Ed Gunewald and
started in to secretly watch the
town. A number of suspicious in
cidents occurred during the night
but it was past two o'clock Sunday
morning when they were satisfied
that they had their man located
in the upstairs of John Funk s
saloon where light was seen
burning and number OF persons
were seen to gain admittance
through the. back door by means of
signals. Constable w. w. Black
burn and Marshal Baker of Cot
tonwood were then added to the
posse and after surrounding the
building Sheriff Seay went to the
back door and demanded admit
tance. In a moment someone
rushed to a window and started to
open it but was stopped by guard
and shortly after Rookie himself
came to the back door and opened
it remarking "Well here l am" "
He carried a revolver at the time
but offered no resistance and is ap-
parently the same good natured,
indifferent person whose genial
manner has won him many friends
and made the officers no end ol
trouble.
That Rook has host of friends
there is not doubt and there is
hardly question but what a
number have been constantly in
communication with him. Since
being at liberty he has had dental
work done so that the appearance
of his teeth would hardly answer
the description given on the card
Offering reward. He also sent
the revolver back to Smith which
he took when he escaped.
During his journey over from
Cottonwood he talked pleasantly
with the sheriff and said that be
had accomplished what he wanted
and that was a continuance of his
trial until next spring.

favor they were drawn should call
or send a written order for their
warrants as the auditor has no
authority to send them out other

the county whether they are ever

BRITISH FEAR
THE HILL SYSTEM
See in 1t Most Formidable
Competition for the
Worlds Traffic.

Durham Phillips, prominent CAPT
talist of London, and director of the
London & County bank, said in an in
terview last night at the West hotel
that James j. Hill was considered
abroad to be a demon of commercial
activity, and the Great Northern rail-
way, with its developing Pacific con-
nections, a menace to the existing
British channels of traffic.
The big traffic people, said Mr..
Phillips, fear Mr.. Hill and his road as
much as they admire the extraordinary
creator and his creation.
Il have heard it asserted by men
thoroughly familiar with the conditions
of passenger traffic in a worldwide
sense, that in a very short time through
the cooperation of Mr.. Hill and his
road with the Russian railway, Great
Britain will be no longer able to boast
of the shortest or quickest trip round
press service is now connecting Vladi-
vostock with the mail steamers for
Yokohama via TSuruga. The crossing
Of the Pacific in record time will be in
sured through the enormous new ships
Mr.. Hill is putting into the Pacific
service, and passengers landed in Seat
tie will be Whisked across the American
continent under Hill auspices. The
Great Northern will convey through
passengers from Seattle to New York
and thence the ships of the Interna-
tlonal Mercantile company will rush
them to Europe.
There is much haste being displayed
in England to complete the linking Of
British connections for competition
with this new and fast service before
through lines are actually established
between the Atlantic and Chinese ports
over Mr.. Hills system. 1t is believed
that the first through route is likely to
be the first recognized and best patron
ICED.
ut is now possible to go round the
world in sixty days with ease and even
righteousness. Such time for the trip
will become an absolute certainty as
soon as the various companies interest
ed arrange for the transfer of pas
sengers and mail at terminals. The
British route via the Canadian Pacific
railway and the Peninsular & Oriental
line can by a mere readjustment of
sailing dates and other minor changes,
constitute through mail service. The
record to or from Hongkong eastward
to London is twenty-four days. From
Hongkong to Vancouver it is seventeen
and One-half days and from Vancouver
to London eleven days. This gives a
total of fifty-two and one-half days.
1t is, therefore, possible to maintain a
sixty day round the world service, with
ample leeway for emergencies.
Some people affect to believe that
there is not likely to be a specially
heavy demand for through service
'round the world, but there never was
go erroneous supposition. AS a mat
ter of fact, it will be found that hun
<dfeds Of thousands of people who never
in their widest dreams expected to be
able to take such a journey, will take
it when the through facilities are
available, and I anticipate the live1iest
competition between the Russo Ameri-
can and the All-Britlsh routes as soon
as they both get down to businees"
