A Poor Mans Country,

j. l.. Williams, formerly of Sal
mon river, but now of Airdrie,
Northwest Territory, thinks he
has found country that beats
Camas prairie, but still wants to
keep posted on this country. In
writing to have the Free Press
sent to his address he says:
81 like to keep in touch with old
Camas Prairie. We have a good
climate here. 1t does not get much
colder here than it does on Camas
Prairie, and cattle winter out and
get fat, in fact the beef cattle are
sold in the spring and the largest
per cent are export cattle, shipped
to England. There is very little
farming done here as this is not q
farming country, but 300 miles
north of here, in and around Ed
mondton, they raise more and bet
ter grain per acre then ever I saw
on Camas Prairie, and l was in
that country IA years. This is the
greatest poor mans country on
earth. There are ranchers here
that started almost without any
thing, and today count their cat
tie by the hundreds. OF course
this country, like all others, has
its drawbacks, and is not exactly a
paradise, but right next to it,"

The Same Result.

Last spring when the commits
sioners of this county started the
movement to enforce the collection
of long delinquent taxes they were
severely criticised by many and An
effort was made by some to turn it
into q political capital against the
board. However they continued
the good work regardless Of unjust
criticisms and the wisdom of their
actions is now generally apparent.
Ada county has followed the ex-
ample of Idaho aud judging from
newspaper reports has had the same
experience with the same result.
Last Tuesdays Sta tesman speaking
of the proceedings there says:
Some of the indignant property
owners spent large portion Of
their time railing at the abstractOr,
who at some remote period certi-
fed to them that all taxes were
paid: others wanted to know why
the commissioners did not go after
the parties from whom they had
purchased their property assuring
the members of the board that they
held warranty deeds, and the
money must ultimately come from
the original owners; still others
were heard bitterly denouncing the
real estate dealer who had sold
them property under the "false
representation" that all back taxes
were paid and the title perfect.
Almost the universal statement
is that the settleing of these old tax
accounts is a thoroughly good thing
for the county. The back pay
ments had to come sometime, and
the sooner the settlements was en-.
forced by the commissioners the
more easy could errors be rectified.
Although considerable expense
has been gone to in order to arrive
at a correct understanding OF the
situation by the commissioners, al
ready considerable more than
enough money to meet it has been
paid into the treasury for back tax.
es, which probably would never
have been paid under any other
circumstances
A general complaint of owners oi
property whose attention has beer
called to unpaid taxes, with rapid.
ly accruing penalty and interest,
is that they never received q mott
fication that the taxes were dus
or that they were outstanding
against the property.
Why did you not write about the
matter sooner, and give me An op
portunity to straighten matters nE
and save all this interest? wrote
many taxpayers.

A Reading Room Established

a Reading Room Established.
The citizens of Buffalo Hump
have started reading resort and
will donate funds for q building
for that purpose. Miners from
adjacent camps coming in town
have had no place Of resort except
the saloons. This enterprise is en-
tirely non-sectarian and it's sole
object is to furnish a place of re-
sort for miners and strangers who
come to town. Chess, checkers
and good warm room will be fur
nished in a few day. What we
want is books. Can the citizens Of
Grangeville donate some books to
establish library? We assure
you it will be remembered. The
following are the officers of this
newly formed organization: d. D.
Shaw, J. d. Stantial, and A. I.
Watson are the trustees. The un-
dersigned is the secretary and all
communications can be addressed
to him. Respectfully,

eastern railroad are in town this
week looking after the interests of
the electric line across the. prairie.
A mass meeting was called Satur-
day night at which MIR. Randolph
explained in detail the working
and advantage of an electric rail-
road and plans by which they
expect to secure it's construction.
He assured his hearers that there
would be no trouble in interesting
capital to build the road when the
true condition and opportunities
were presented clearly. However,
it is necessary that all details as to
distance, grades, probable tonnage,
passenger traffic ETC., should be
shown up just as they exist that
prospective investors might know
just what to expect for their
money. TO bear the expense OF
gathering this information and
making the survey it is proposed
to sell enough stock at one hall its
par value to raise the money. In
this money the amount subscribed
is not asked for as gift but is an
investment which Mr.. Randolph
declares will be paying dividends
within three months after the road
is in operation.
The committe appointed tc
solicit this stock consists OF w. W.
Browni DR.. S. f. Bibby and J. j.
Pulse who will wait upon our peo
pie within a few days and ask fol
subscriptions. That they vii
meet with liberal success there il
not a doubt as the present condi
tion of the roads is a constant re
minder that something has to b,
done, and that at once, to secur,
better means of transportation
than now exists and is greatly re
tarding the development and ad
vancement Of the country.
This is Mr.. Randolph's first Wis

HUMP LOOKS GOOD.
Col. N. E. Linsley Likes What
He Saw.

Hiioioy Likes Wnat
He Saw.
Col. N. E. Linsey, one of the
best known mining men on the
coast, returned Tuesday from his
nrst trip to Buffalo Hump. He
has been in almost everv mining
camp OF note west of the Mississip-
pi, from Mexico to the Klondike.
but this was his first opportunity
TO see for himself what there was
In the Hump. He declined to talk
on the object of his visit to the
camp, but speaking of it in gen.
eral way said:
"While the surface was covered
with snow and / only had q short
time to look over the country there
is no question but that the Hump
is destined to become a great min
ing camp. The few properties l
vlsited certainly look well, and be-
sides the best recommendation that
any camp can have is that men
with limited means have been able
to place properties on paying
basis. Many good mines lie idle
because enormous capital is requir-
ed TO operate them thereby giving
out the impression that they are
worthless, but no fear need be felt
for the camp where mines are
made as they are in the Hump.
What Buffalo Hump needs' said
the colonel "is better roads" I"
Why, if thousand men were
working in there at the present
time you couldn't haul supplies in
fast enough to keep them from
starving"
The colonel recognized that
under conditions existing in all
new countries the county could
hardly be expected to build the
kind of road needed, but thought
franchishe might be secured for
maint ntaining a toll road.

WORKING IN THE DARK.
OF Mining Before the
5,sf

D:scc,nforts OF Mining Before the
Davy Lamp Was Lit.
The difficulties under which coal
mining operations We're carried on be-
fore the scientist Davy had invented his
safety lamp must have been very great.
In many times the only alternative the
medieval miner had to pitch darkness
was the phosphorescent gleam from
dried fish. The miners implements,
originally of stone or hard oak, gradu-
ally improved, but he was forced to
work in almost complete darkness until
Sir Humphry Davy by his remarkable
invention enabled him to light his way
through the tunnels he had eXca7ated
with comparative safety.
Agricola, an author who wrote about
the middle of the sixteenth century,
has left an elaborate treatise on coal
mining as it was practiced during the
middle ages. From this we learn that
the horse gin, which survives to the
present day in some of the mining dis.
tricts of Great Britain and northern
Europe, was the engine chiefly en-
ployed both for lifting the coal aud fol-
getting rid Of the water. This latter
object was also sometimes effected by
means of pumps turned by windmills
or by tunnels driven with great labor
to an outlet at a lower level.

q,o,nbs Of the Ancient Prophet

TOmOS OF the <l.IC1SAt Z XAoVnSs"'
There exist in parts of Islam many
tonlbs Of the prophet Daniel. Of these
one Of the most celebrated is at Cairo.
This fact need not astonish us. The
Mussulmans admit without hesitation
the duplication or even indefinite null
tiplication Of the bodies cf holy per-
sons without their veneration for each
Of the remains being diminished in the
least. 1t is worth noting that the na-
ture Of the honorary QuaSsdcations ac-
corded to the same saintNaries in diff
ferent countries Thus, for example,
Daniel has at Cairo the name Of Neb-
bi-Daniel-that is, they give him the
title OF prophet. as being at the same
time that which suits him best and is
the most honorable they can confer. In
Algeria or S1orocco-feudal countries
the title they give to saints is sidi,
which signifies lord, which is also the
title there Of military and political
chiefs. In central Asia they give to
those canonized persons whom they re-
spect most, as to the prophet Daniel
the title Of khodja, which means In
Arabic writer or lettered.

Making Marble Oct OF Chalk.

In nature marble is made out Of
chalk by water which percolates
through the ehalky deposits, dissolyes
the chalk particle by parties and
crystallizes it, mountain pressure solid
flying it. It has been found that SINH
lar results may be accomplished by
chemical means. First slices Of chalk
are dipped in a color bath, staining
them with tints that will initiate any
kind Of marble known. For this pur-
pose the same mineral stains are used
as are employed in nature. For exam
pie, to produce counterfeit verde an
tique' oxide Of copper is utilized. In
like manner green, pink, black and
other colorings are obtained. Next the
chalk slices go into another bath, by
which they are hardened and crystal
lized, coming out to all intents and
purposes real marble.

It is a religion to make Navajo

and aspirations Of an immortal soul.
In the warm colors are expressed the

A Good Policy.

The Dry Goods Economist says of
one store with which it is familiar:
Every employee in it seems to be
coed natured. Why should there be
any difference in this respect between
this establishment and the average
store? Is not human nature about
the same the world over? True, but
there is difference. The proprietor
of this store is not only 4 merchant,
but 4 gentleman. He treats his en-
ployecs with marked courtesy and con-
sidcration. As q consequence they
feel so kindly disposed toward him and
his business that their good will is re-
lected in their treatment Of his Gus
toners" Some storekeepers never find
out why it is that so few Of their
casual customers become regulars.
