that the people interested, the ones
who are in need of the bridge, should
say where the bridge should be

court, it should grant their request.
But if they should come before the
court and say that they do not want
the bridge across the Malheur and
further state that they would not use
the bridge if it were built, then we
think the county court would be very
foolish to spend money in the cree

A GOOD FIND
ON RAPID RIVER
Frank Irwin Finds a Ledge
That He Had Looked for
Twelve Years Ago.

While prospecting on Rapid river
near West fork Frank Irwin dicovered
a true fissure vein, ranging in width
from two to six feet. The ledge was
well covered and was found only
after dilligent search. The quarts is
richly mineraized, carrying heavily
in gold and copper. Free gold shows
to considerable extent and yields
richly in pannlng. No assays have
been made as yet and the exact values
are not known, butMr Irwin, who has
prospected all over this section of the
State, and who has properties in
almost every district, says the surface
showings are the best he has ever
seen. He has located three claims
on the lead, Gold Bug Nos. and 2
and the Struck. 1t, all known as the
Cold Bug group, The property is
finely situated for deep tunneling,
has plenty of good timber and un-
limited water power with good mill
site. Several fine selected specimens
of the ore are at this office.
The vein has been uncovered for q
distance of $50 feet, with fattering
results all along. The work OF
development is going on and will be
continued during the summer
| Mr.. Irwin looked for this lead
twelve years ago and is highly elated
with his present success.
In addition to the Gold Bug group
Mr.. Irwin and his brothers own the
Cory group of four claims, the Nam
moth of five, Blue Lead Of two and
another group of three, in this
vicinity, all well situated for working
and milling.
Mr.. Irwin returned to Rapid river
last Sunday.
The above is from the Meadows
Eagle and simply demonstrates what
the Signal has advertised for years
that Rapid River offers one of the
finest prospecting fields in the west
The gratifying results at Black Lake
/ and Paradise Flat will do much to

good crop this year they will be all
right. Owing to the disadvantages es
through which they have had to work
and the expenseaof having to cross
the river for everything they had to
use. 1t has been very hard on them
and they of course could not put the
improvements on their places that
would like to have and some they
really need. The snow coming as
it did so early in the season greatly
hindered the fall granting, and also
great deal of other work that was
needed badly. They claim an acreage
of over seven hundred (700) of small
grain this year. The fall grain is
looking fine and the spring grain is
coming up nicely the sowing being
about all finished We understood
that few years ago some fellows
were looking over this land and called
it proverty fiat; that name does not
fit it now for it is now plainly shown
that with intelligent handling it will
bring prosperity to the holder. Well,
fearing this will reach the dreaded
waste basket, will ring off and per-
haps if this does not meet sad fate,
will come again.

At the st. Louis Good Roads Con-

the speakers. He said in brief:
"The expenditure Of MONEY for
the permanent Improvement Of the
common roads can be defended, first
as matter of justice to the people
who live in the country; second, as a
matter of advantage to the people,
who do not live In the country; and
third, on the ground that the welfare

forts of country life shall as far 81
possible keep pace with the comfort
of city life.

XIII Hen-KlIling Dogs.

We lost good many hens few sum-
mers ago from dogs. Occasionally a
young dog will develop a mania for
killing hens, as they do for killing
sheep. Such dogs are apt to train in
pairs. They will catch hen, bite it
through the back. crushing the ribs,
and then chase down another. We
found two strange dogs at work one
day in this manner, but not until they
had killed over 20. After a few DAYS
they reappeared and killed about the
same number before the hired man ap-
peared on the scene with a gun. One
of the dogs fell victim to his sure
aim, but the other made his escape.
A suit at law resulted in q verdict for
the plaintiff and established the fact
that the owner of dog is liable for
damages in case of this kind.-Rural
New Yorker.

Requirements of n President.

To tell a boy that he may be pres
ident is to put the presidency above
other earthly prizes attainable by
our future men, and to imply that
the route to the presidency is a peo-
pies free highway. There is, in
truth, no royal road to the white
house, nor special privilege to any
person or class that may have a
fancy for it. What the law says as
to the presidency. is simplicity itself;
merely that president shall be a
natiye-born citizen at least 35 years
old, with residence of not less than
IA years within the United States,
and that he shall be elected by a ma
jority of votes in the nation. There
are millions of boys who in time will
meet all these requirements but the
last. The boys possess the wide
open field, and how wide it is may be
judged from the distance between
Jefferson and Madison, born to
wealth and high training, and Jack
son and Lincoln, born to dire pow
erty and cast upon the world to train
emselves.-Charles F. Benjamin, in

INDIAN RUNNING DUCK.
A Hardy Breed Which Responds
Readily to Good Feeding and
q Little Care.

The Indian running duck is what
might be called an all-aroundpractical
duck, says Walter E. Delano, in the
American Poultry Journal. The gen
eral makeup of these ducks seems to
be unlike many others, iDasmuch as
they have SO many points in their ia.
vor.
First, the color and plumage are very
attractive, being of fawn color mixed
with white, the brakes having stee
blue cap, with distinct white line run
ming from the eye around the back OF
the head to the eye opposite, the pure
white neck, the fawn colored breast
and back. tapering off with white IL
wing flights and tail. They are strong
and erect, alert in every motion ano
very hardy.
Second, their laying qualities are
such that they have been called ano
are known to-day as the Leghorn OF
the duck family. One breeder claims
for one individual duck a record of l9s
eggs per year.
1t is very fascinating for one to col
lect eggs from these ducks after once
starting to lay, and they generally
start in with me in February. II Is
a common occurrence to bring IN JUS
as many eggs as there are ducks.
Third as market duck, they gro"
very rapidly, and while they consume
much less food in proportion than the
Pekin, at ten weeks old will dress ter
pounds to the pair, and in comparing
the pair 1 find the runner smaller
boned, but heavier meated.
Success with these ducks, like every
thing else, depends solely on feed ant
care. In the center of an acre lot ad
joining my place is pond fed bJ
springs about 100 feet across. On the
shore of this pond is my duck house
where the ducks are wintered. Ii
the breeding season I select my breed
ers, putting one drake with every five
ducks, and as soon as the ice is out OF
the pond the ducks are allowed the ust
of it through the day, but are called
into their house for supper at night
thus making it easy to collect the egg:
in the morning.
One of the most essential things il
raising ducks is that they have dry
quarters to sleep in and pure air to
breathe. Little attention need be giveI
to making tight houses as long as they
are kept dry at night. They will stand
some very cold weather. For theil
bedding l use plenty of lawn clippings
and clover hay, and it is surprising tt
see how much a flock Of so will consume
through the winter.
