IOWANS INVEST.
Visit Standard And Are Well
Pleased With Property.

A party of Iowa gentlemen re-
turned Friday from a visit to the
Standard, and were SO we'll pleased
with the property that they invested
heavy sums before leaving for the
east. While there they thoroughly
inspected the mine and had a number
of assays made. From the two
distinct vein systems, carrying
respectively gold, cobalt and
copper, and gold values alone with
which the mountain seems ribbed,
these assays we're made. The former
averaged about 800 while the latter
ran something over $50. This was
sufficient to convince the Iowa
people what an investment in the
Standard means, and they we're not
slow to seize the opportunity.
The Standard company has re-
tanned the services of w. A. Irvine,
a competent metallurgist, who will
sample all ore as guide to devel-
opment in the present and prospec-
tive operations.
The company now has under
plans for an extensive
treating plant to be erected on the
property this fall. 1t is stated that
the daily capacity will be between
100 and 900 tons.

Shoot Eucountered Continues to Gain
Strength.
A fine lot of ore samples was sent
in today from the Highland mine,
operated by Neil j. Sorensen Il Co.
They were from the rich shoot on
the Glasgow drift and show heavy
sulphide values with a sprinkle Of
galena. 1t Is an exceeding good
grade of milling ore.
This shoot, when II was encoun-
tered distance of forty feet from the
Glasgow crosscut was eighteen inches
wide. II has been drifted on now
forty feet and has strengthened to
four feet, with every evidence that 1t
will gain further strength as the
work advances. The vein proper
ranges from ten to forty feet In
width.

At that time Mr.. Hobson was run

determine which is the more favorable
route for crossing the divide. When
this matter is disposed Of, he will
survey the route to the Oregon
Wonder, six or seven miles in a
southerwesterly direction.
The starting point Of the survey
Is on the other side Of John Day

of the plated townsite owned by
Cleaver Brothers. There the site for

The road will be operated by
electricity, generated by water power.
The electrict equipmenut has been

They will be shipped in sailing
vessels from Liverpool to Portland.
There can be no question but what,
when this road Is completed, Prairie

most important towns In eastern
Oregon, with a record breaking rapid
growth. Already, in anticipation
of this devoutly hoped for event,

from u trip to the Stice's Gulch

They report satisfactory operation
at the property. The sawmill has
cut over half million feet Of lumber,
and several hundred cords Of wood
have been finished. On account OF
such little rain during the early
spring, there may be shortage Of
water, The present rains may,
however, prolong the season.

The case Of James Morrison vs..

Of attention in district court last

ber last year Mr.. Morrison was
\pouring oil over a fire in his
paint shop when it exploded,
Turning him 50 badly that he
sHearly lost his life. His hand is
now worthless. Morrison at
tempted to show that the oil
which might have been a mixture
OF gasoline and kerosene was
purchased from MIR. Lee. The
can which contained the oil was
in evidence. The bottom was
blowen out. The defense tried to
snow by this that the explosion
was not in the stove which Nor
risOn claimed, but in the can.

Gently in Florida.

Gently in Florida.
]. J. Jackman has received a copy
of an obituary notice of John H.
Richards. who died at Braidentown,
Fla, recently. The remains Of the
deceased were taken back to his old
home at Binghampton. n. Y. for in
terment. The death Of Mr.. Richards
removes q pioneer resident of Bis
marck. He was one of the first party
of four settlers who came across the
prairies in advance Of the Northern
Pacific surveyors and filed on claims
on the river front, where Jackman's
house stands and where he still has
his claim. There we're four in that
party. J. J. Jackman John H. Richards,
Col. Woods and E. N. Corey. They
came to Bismarck in February. 1872.
Richards was we'll known in the
early days, and was for a number of
years register of deeds of Burleigh
county. Dan Williams was the first
register of deeds Of the county and
was succeeded by T. l.. Singiser..
Richards was Sing:ser's deputy, and

OF late years Richards has been a
resident of Chicago. where he was
engaged in commercial trading. He
leaves a considerable fortune. Old
timers in the city will regret to learn
of his death.

them upon a state footing. and insur-
ing a MANAGEMENT which shall be alb
solutely free from local political In
fiuences. and dominated solely by q
desire for the best business interests
of the institutions is the ideal method
of government of these institutions
The Chaffee bill represents this d
and if carried out in the shape OF aw,
would result in the efficient manage
ment of the state institutions pro-
vided the right men could be
for the positions on the board. The
men who could assume charge OF so
large a business as is represented by
the management of all the state insti-
tutions would need to be men of tx
ceptional business ability and sagac-
itv. and such men as find their own
business too profitable to give 1t up
for a position as member Of the board
of control. This would be the main
difficulty in the operation of such a
law. There is no question but that in
time. and it may be at this session, the
legislature will adopt the board OF
control system. The bill is one OF
the most important presented at this
session and is worthy the careful con
s~ideration of every member OF III leg
lature. 1t will be well. however, II II
is seriously intended to pass the
measure at this time, to consider the
question of fitness of three h board

haven't just the men for the positions
then it would be unwise.to enact the

their famous honey cakes and other

Sugar was made in India and Arabia
in the earliest times, but 1t was not
brought into Europe until the inva-

countries around the Mediterranean
sea, in the seventeenth century. The
MOors cultivated the cane in the cOun-
tries of north Africa. and they intro.
duced it into Spain. The Spaniards,
about 1910, planted sugar canes in their
West Indian possessions, whence it
spread through Spanish America and
into the French province of Louisiana.
The cane was the original source of
sugar. and so remained up to the time
