ed the top, they sat around
watching each other with angry,
envious eyes. and as soon as few
made serious attempt to climb,
the rest rushed in and pulled and
hauled with all their might until
the last aspiring microbe was drag
ged down to the bottom. We
watched them attentively through
two generations of microbes, and
all that time none of them had
made any appreclable progress
towards the end which they were
all striving. We were not a little
surprised TO find living creatures,
endowed with commerdable ash ira
tions, nurtured at the very fountain
of intelligence, devoting their lives
to pulling each other down, when
by the exercise of little common
sense and not half the waste OF
energy they coul1 have lifted each
other up and all attained the de-
sired elevation. After a great deal
of frehection, it occurred to US that
these little creatures conducted
themselves much the same as do
men afflicted with community Jeal-
ousy.
In order to test the correctness oi
this theory we carefully scraped OF
all the inhabitants of No. 10, and
replaced the brain in E. Terrence
Montmorency's skull. In a shor'
time, the effects of the anesthet1(
which had been administered tt

rance opened his eyes. It was a

Mr.. Howard Sebree, president of
the First National Bank, has given
to the city of Caldwell, 20 acres of
land in the Fair Acreage for the
purpose of a public park. The site
is admirably adapted for an artif-
cial lake, covering about ten acres
and ten acres of park. It is close
in and in every respect suited to the
purpose. The condition of the gift
is that the resort shall be made.
The land which Mr.. Sebree has
thus generously given to the public
is we'll worth $4,000, and too much
cannot be said in praise of the lib
erality of the donor, but we shall
reserve encomiums for a future oc-
casion. The thing to be attended
to now is to urge acceptance of the
gift on the terms stated. Messrs.
T. H. Lowell and Edward Hedden
have promised to make all the nee
essary surveys and estimates free
of charge and it is reported that
Mr.. Chas. Hartley will make gen.
erous donation of trees from his
splendid nursery. The business
men of Caldwell are donating with
their accustomed 1iberality, and H.
A. Grifiths is giving of his time
and energy, besides liberal cash
contribution, to push the splendid
undertaking. In due time The
TRIBUNE will publish a complete
list of the contributors, if not pre-
vented by the modesty Of the good
men and women who are always in
the forefront of progress. Of itself
The TRIBUNE does not desire to
speak except to say that it has
made good its promise.
A word now to the people of
Caldwell in general. This un-
dertaking, it will readily be
seen is mainly for the benefit Of the
middle and poorer classes. 1t is de-

COMMUNITY JEAL-
OUSY AND NO. 10

UUOI HlNU NU. IL
Eyils of all sorts flourish in the
world. Most of them have a COM
prehensible excuse for existence in
the appetites and passions of men,
but there are some which can no
more be accounted for than buffalo
gnats. Take for instance, COM
munity jealousy, which manifests
itself in the hatred of the separate
members of one community for the
aggregate members of another
community. Now. it is not hatred
of the individuals of one locality
for the individuals of another To-
cality. It is different from that.
To illustrate: E. Terrence Mont
morency of Caldwell does not hate
Dick Brown and Jimy McFrit and
Bill Amalgam of Payette. He does
not hate as many people in Payette
as in Caldwell, when it comes to
considering them as individuals.
He couldn't if he wanted to, be-
cause he does not know who they
are. He has never heard of them.
Those that he does come in contact
with are good, average folks, we'll
spoken, intelligent, honest and in
dustrious. Upon the whole, E.
Terrence Montmorency is glad to
meet them, and enjoys the oppor-
tunity of serving those integral
parts of Payette, but he cordially
hates Payette. 1t hurts him to
hear anything good of the town
and he secretly rejoices at its draw
backs and misfortunes. In his
mind, Payette is mean and grasp
ing and detestable. He cherishes
an Unsuitable grudge against Pay
cite. He believes that it is a part
of his moral, patriotic and religious
duty to discredit Payette and op-
pose everything that emanates
from there or may in anywise con-
tribute to its happiness and pros
perity.
There are E. Terrace Montmo-
rencies in Payette as we'll as in
Caldwell, and they are oppressed
with the same kind of hatred and
prejudice. There is not a particle
of sense in it, but it exists, and is
an evil without excuse or one re-
deeming feature. We have been
studying community jealousy tol
ten years and believe that we have
at last found the microbe that is
responsible for the disease.
A few days ago while pursuing
Investigations along this line, we
captured one of those E. Terrence
individuals in which the commun.
ity jealousy distemper was very fa'

FAIR" WAS TRIAL

The Washington Star publishes the
following concerning the action of Pres
ident Roosevelt in the Tanbara elsa
buro case:
Tanbara Gisaburo, a Japanese was
convicted in Hawaii of murder on the
high seas, and was sentenced to be
hanged on December &c, 1902. On De-
cember "a the governor of Hawaii
granted an indefinite reprieve, in order
TO permit the defendant to apply to
the President for clemency. The At
torney-General, in reporting the case to
the President. said that the record in
this case discloses that the petitioner
is guilty of a cruel and deliberate muir
der. His trial was scrupHousIy fair,
and no reasons are disclosed that would
justify an Interference with the execu-
ton Of the sentence imposed by the
trial court" He advised that the appIi-
cation be denied. and that the reprieve
granted by the governor be continued
IN effect until August H. 1893. The Pres
ideut denied the application. and con-
tinued the reprieye 40 noon of August
H. at which time the sentence win be
executed.

MOSQUITO BREEDING

There is a difference in mosquitoes

A few are really domestic, in the sense

their way. A very few have never
been known to bite under any provo

whatever and appear to be literally
bloodthirsty. Most of them are home
bodies, straying little or not at all from
the immediate surroundings of the
point where they first reached the
adult stage, while others travel many
miles and supply regions where none
are native. This argues quite a vari-
ETY. of mosquitoes, and, as a matter
of fact, it is a poor locality that can
not turn out twenty or more species
of the pest. 1t is the failure to realize
this point-the tendency to consider
that all mosquitoes are alike and
equally pestiferous-that is responsible
for unsatisfactory results among mos

We may say with certainty that no

without water enough to breed in. but
we cannot say that in all waters mos
quitoes will thrive. In fact. we are
now learning that there are many
swamp areas, once supposed to be pro-
life producers of the insects, in which
none at all develops. We
have also learned that ugly looking

The three people pictured above are
those who are TO head the companies
which will pass through Honolulu on
the way to the Colonies. The PERSONAL
tiles of each are interesting but none
of them more so than that of Mary
Mannering, spoken of as an American
by many because of her being so we'll
known in America, but she was really
born in England and has only been on
the stage about six years.
Eleanor Franklin recently told her life
story in a brief way in Leslie's Weekly:
Miss Mannering is an English girl, as
everybody knows. brought over here by
Mr.. Daniel Frohman for his LyceumI
theater stock company just six years
ago. She went on the stage in England
when she was Is years old, and had at
tanned a nice bit of distinction both in
London and the English provinces be-
fore Mr.. F'rohman discovered her.
Her instantaneous success over here is
within the memory of all of us, and
the romance Of her marriage to one of
our own splendid young actors is dear
to the hearts of all. There is one little
page of this romance, by the way, that
1 believe has never been written. When
Miss Mannering was just a bit of girl
in London she and young friend one |
day discovered a photograph in one of
the shop windows which they, girl like, |
began to gush over.
Isn't he handsome?" said Miss Man
nering.
What a facet" exclaimed her friend. |
rs he an actor or a clergyman? %
unused Miss Mannering
He is st. Anthony" said her friend, !
and can't you just imagine the accom- /
panying girlish giggles and grimaces?
Well, after this the two girls stopped |
before the picture nearly every day and
began to call it our face in the win
dow and Miss Mannering says it
itself so plainly in her memory
that she could never forget it. Time
wore on and the bit of girl grew into
! bit more of a girl with ambitions. She
went on the stage and pretty soon we
lllured her over here. 1t was surely,
fate, for such a short time after her
lrrival in America she met Mr. Hackett.
She knew she had met him somewhere
before, but where? Looking at him,
and wondering where, may have had
somewhat to do with her surrender to
he fascination of his strong, manly
personality, but be that as it may, she

ore her marriage, she was visiting at

when suddenly, placing her
and fat down on the face of pic
ure with little exclamation of sur
rise, she said:

The rest is better imagined than ex- e

miles from marshy coast is liable tc
invasion by this species, though al
the latter distance their occurrence is
only occasional and their stay usually
short. In the highlands at points away
from the coast, and even in cities,
! towns and villages near the shore, the
presence of any considerable number
of mosquitoes continuing steadily
through the season indicates the ex-
istence of some local breeding place;
and such breeding places may occur
even in our very houses.
a forgotten bucket of water in the
cellar or just outside will serve to de-
velop hundreds; rain barrel is good
for thousands per week unless secure
ly covered, and any vessel, even a tin
can, in which water remains continu-
ously for more than a week may serve
as a source of supply. 1t must be
realized that no pool is too insignifi-
cant to be utilized by a female mos
quito who has a batch of eggs to be
placed.
TO FIGHT THE PEST.
To make any campaign entirely eff
fective. all breeding places must be
dealt with; and for this purpose there
is no more effective destructive agen-
cy than kerosene oil of a low grade
Though the mosquito Iarva is strictly
aquatic, it depends upon getting it's air
a short tube at its anal extremity. IF
the surface is coated with kerosene,
access to the air is barred, except at
the cost of a dose of oil, and there is
choice of deaths; it either stiles for
lack of air or it is poisoned by the
kerosene which gets into it's breathing
system. The method is a good one,
and absolutely effective; but the oil
is offensive, and the applications must
be repeated at short intervals. bet
ter method, therefore, is to destroy
the breeding places altogether, so as
to get permanent result A little
grading and filling here and there, to
get rid of depressions that fin with the
rains, ditch or two to drain a low
place, and local exemption may often
be gained. Water barrels and imper-

Riches Of ODE Humboldt Range


The impetus given to mining devel-
opment in Nevada since the recent dis
cOVery of the TOnOpah riches. which
have reached sereval millions Of dol
lars during the past two years, has
been felt in no section of that state
more than in the Humboldt range. in
Humboldt county. where a number of
companies are now engaged in extern
sive operations. This section. during
the early sixties, was a competitor Of
the famous COmstOck in attracting the
attention Of California spectators. The
ore shipments made by OK team, at
great cost, were exceedingly rich.
Mark Twain, at one time editor Of the
Virginia City Enterprise, gives an ac-
count in his inimitable story of west
ern adventures. "Roughing Tt" Of
trip to Humboldt City, which he was
induced TO make by newspaper ac-
counts Of remarka bly, rich ore being
shipped from the Sheba mine. 1t was
in the Sheba also that the late Sena-
tor Hearst made his first substantial
gains in mining by selling an interest
in that property, of which he was pres
ident, at a figure better than $500 per
share on the San Francisco exchange.
This operation was the foundation FOR
and was followed by similar successes
in the Connstock. the Homestake in
South Dakota and the Ontario in Utah.
Rich Humboldt Mines
The Humboldt range is a continuation
of the Comstock mineral belt. A COM
parison Of TIE respective amounts pro-
duced BY the Comstock lode and the
Humboldt district discloses the sur
prising fact that for the amount Of ac-
tual development work done the Hum
boldt mines have produced more richly
than the Comstock. From the Com
stock mines over $780, 100000 was taken,
but to secure this amount a depth Of
3 200 feet was attained and tunnels and
drifts aggregating hundreds of miles
were run. The production of the Hum
boldt range, which exceeded $50, 600, 600.
was taken from only a half dozen
mines and the greatest depth reached
was but 80 feet. The only hoist in the
district is on the Sheba property
where shaft was sunk fifty feet on
the vertical and 100 feet on the incline.
Shipments from the Sheba and De
Soto have given returns of over $1,000
per ton. The largest amounts taken
from this district were from the Rye
