than hundred feet bottom by 10

quarter million acres of land, ex-
tends westerly 80 miles or SO till it
drops into the Salmon river 20
miles above its junction with the
Snake.
"The river at Miner makes
long horse shoe bend to the south,
with one cross cut midway and
another at the heel, making three
channels. The first dam across
the south channel or toe calk is

Bright Outlook for Western States
More Local rlouey for De-

The Washington correspondent
who have recently returned from

of the prosperous conditions which
prevail in that section says the
New York Tribune. After making
all due allowance for the "boom-

bright, and that the recent de-
preston in the stock market has
not reflected real conditions in the
heart of the republic.

FOXES DEVOUR THEIR YOUNG.
This Is Shown to Be u Fact by M,
Instance in Bronx Park
IN. W Zoo.

In the New York Geological society,
collection in the Bronx park there
were until recently two young red
foxes which had been born in the cagS
When saw them they were about two
weeks old, and rather timid; in locke
they were very much like bushy-tailed
and red-eared rats, though quite pre-.
possessing. The mother had burrowed
under the asphalt of the den, where it
was nice and cold and damp (this was
in the early spring., and there she
kept her cubs. 1t was not an idea,
home for them, but she preferred It'll
her man-made kennel, relates writer
in Woman's Home Componion.
In order to be photographed the
cubs were removed from their dens by
a keeper, and subsequently handled by
others. Then they were put into the
kennel, which was warm and Oom-
Portable. For this that very night they
paid forfeit with their lives; the next
morning naught but their masks re-
manned. The parents had killed and
eaten them. For this reason it is next
to impossible to rear young foxes In
captivity; sooner or later it will be-
come imperative that they be handled
or moved, and then they die.

dered SUPPLEMENTARY. AS farewell
token of their esteem for him the furnace
employees presented him with an elegant
gold watch, appropriately inscribed,
while his estimable wife was made the re-
cipient from the same source of beautiful
diamond ring. The presentations were
made by George House and John T. Riley
respectively, and were responded to in
feeling manner by Mr.. Gillespie. The
gifts are valuable ones and highly priced
by Mr.. and Mrs. Gillespie. Mr.. Gillespie
has rendered an exceptionally satisfactory
service for the Carnegie company here
and richly deserved the pleasant little
recognition of last Friday.
