enterprising boniface has built a double
log bath house and in front of it large
bathing pool. While the water is 157
degrees when it comes from the ground
it has cooled 20 120 in the pool. The eff
feet upon the bather is much the same
as water at 65 degrees would be-. The
hotel furnishes towels and the priv
ileges of the bathing pool free and the
Topeka people made the best OF the ad-
vantages offered. After the bath and
q sweat in the log bath house person
is ready for sweet refreshing sleep and
the resort beds are clean and inviting
and contain real linen sheets.
1t may be mentioned incidentally that
Mr.. BurgdOrf took unto himself a wife
only year ago. A young woman from
Denver was on her way to Thunder
Mountain to find a gold mine and she
stopped at the resort and went no far
Their. She is now Mrs. Burgdorf and
needs no gold mine.
ANOTHER MOUNTAIN HOTEL.
The horseback brigade rested at this
delightful place on Sunday to await the
wagon which brought the rest of the
party who were IL hours behind. On the
way to Resort. % miles from Meadows,
is a place called Fishers or the Fisheries.
1t now consists of a new log house
about IA feet square with a lean-to
kitchen. 1t is at the head of Payette
Lake which is certainly one of the most
beautiful bodies of water in the world.
y
wide and the water is 400 feet deep in
places and clear as crystal. 1t is filled
with fish and in the spring the grey
lings or what the natives call white fish
crowd out of the lake up into the
Payette river which emptieS into the
lake at the Fisheries. Years ago people
/ took wagon loads of these fish from the
river and packed them there for ship

Fisheries. but scarcely a trace of this

which by the way contains neither win
dows nor doors. Entrance is effected
through a hole in the ceiling by means
of perpendicular ladder nailed to the
side of the house. E. T. Sim, w. G.
Brown and DR.. Beam slept in this attic
and the rest rolled up in their blankets
and spent the night on the earthen
floor of the log hen house.
The only incident connected with this
stop was caused by one of the men
missing his footing on the ladder and
falling to TIE first floor, but aside from
arousing a half dozen people who were
sleeping in the kitchen and elsewhere,
no damage was done.
Between the Fisheries and Resort
stretch the Secesh mountains. They
are uniformly high in altitude and form
the water shed between the Payette and
Snake rivers. The wagon road follows
the Payette river closely in approaching
the Secesh mountains and crosses that
beautiful and rapid stream nine times
within six miles. Some of the fords are
full of boulders and dangerous and the
lead team on the wagon was taken of
and ridden across. On ore of these
trips DR. Boam tried his skill at horse
manship and the doctor was almost
thrown from the animal in the middle
of the river but he saved himself by

members of the Topeka party began to
suffer because of the high price o.

they did not make audible protest.
LONG HORSEBACK RIDE.
A hundred mile ride on horseback is
a light task for the nountaineers, but
to the Topeka men. many of whom
had never before taken a mountain
trip, 1t was a serious matter The
mountaineer travels slowly with his
camp outfit, and stops when he cares
to. He always takes his time, but the
Topeka men were in a hurry, and they
started on the long ride full of enthu-
siaSm. But to canter a horse up and
down mountain road has its compen-
Sations to the rider as we'll as the
horse, and it was not long until w. S.
Kale's mount exhibited unmistakable
signs of WEAKNESS. w. G. SteDhenson

miles all the pilgrims were walking and
driving their horses before them. The
Cay uses cNiQGnlly appreciated the
change. for when the weary men tried
to catch them to again try riding the
ponies trotted aggravatingly ahead just
out of reach. w. H. Davis, who can
cover ground like a greyhound, finally
caught his ancient flea bitten pony,
and by his assistance the others were
recovered. The riders reached Resort
in the evening, having ridden and
walked forty miles.
AT A MOUNTAIN RESORT.
They were a demoralized appearing
lot of men and cayuses which drew up
at the log hotel kept by F. c. Burgdorf
and his wife. but if there ever was a
place on earth calculated to soothe a
tired mortal it is here. The house is
larger than the others along the road.
Its owner, Mr.. Burgdorf, an industrious
German, has lived on the place 30 years
and raises cattle which he sells to min
ers and prospectors and he is now worth
at least 100000 and he never found
mine, either. Directly in front of his
house is a hot sulphur spring which

but his cayuse refused to be coerced and
with a parting kick at the animal Mr..
Parker resigned himself to his fate. 1t
was that kick that added to his troubles
for when his foot collided with the ribs
of the pony it dislocated a toe and then
Mr. Parker had to ride from sheer
necessity. He reached Warren about a
half hour behind the others.
AN OUTFIT" PURCHASED.
Mr.. Eldridge. who was in charge of

supplies were purchased for the re-

bedding was packed in the same way

about 2 o'clock in the afternoon when
the cavalcade was ready to move into

it is at least that far. 1t is across the

and Enthusiastic Cheering.

Cork, Aug. 1.-The firing of royal sa-
lutes and enthusiastic cheering well
coined King Edward, Queen Alexandra
and the royal party on their arrival at
Cork this morning on board the royal
yacht Victoria and Albert. The port
was bright with bunting, the whole
town was well decorated, and the streets
were filled with jubilant sight-seers.
The lord mayor and corporation of Cork
welcomed the visitors when they landed.
Their majesties drove through the dec
GRATED streets, which We're lined with
troops and blue jackets, to the race
course. where the king presented colors
to two Irish regiments.
The Catholic bishop of Cork was in
vited to assist at the ceremony of bless
ing the colors, most of the men being
Catholics, but he refused to be associ-
ated with the Protestant chaplain.

Parker n1agnanimOuSly proposed to
walk all the way but by the time the
top was reached he had changed his
mind and enjoyed a seat in the wagon
men had entered the wagon on the top
of the mountains that one of the mem
berS of the party committed a gross
breach of etiquette He stopped at the
side of the road and made several snow
balls and creeping quietly behind the
wagon he bombarded the occupants
Some of the men in the wagon insisted
that they were in grave danger from
pneumonia because of the snow which
went down their backs, but they re-
turned with sound lungs.
The wagon reached Resort Sunday af-
ternoon, July IL, and the party was re-
united. There was a heavy frost that
night but this did not prevent the men
from arising early to make the journey
to Warren, 20 miles farther, across the
Steam Boat mountains and the ter
minus of the wagon road.
AN OLD MINING TOWN.
Warren was founded in 1862 by James
Warren who found gold there in the
streams but how he ever got there must
forever remain question of wild con-
lecture. But Mr.. Warren found placer
gold 80 abundant that it was an easy
people f1ocked into the place and every
foot of land along Warrens creek was
turned over A town appeared and in
a few years millions of dollars were
taken out, but the Warren placers are

casionaI Chinaman may still be seen
working industriously in the creek bed

lives-and move to the mountains of

MR.. PARKER'S ACCIDENT.
The journey to Warren was not long
one. If ex-Mayor Parker had not
broken his toe on the trip it would have
been devoid of incident. Mr.. Parker
had given up his seat in the wagon to
ride a cayuse for a few miles. He said
it would be an agreeable change. This
particular cayuse was not fleet of foot
and after Mr.. Parker had ridden a short
distance he found himself far behind
the caravan and try as hard as he might
he could not gain. Riding horseback
soon became an old story with him and
he longed for his old place in the wagon

The 10th of this month was the first anniversary
of the death of Mrs Elizabeth Seward of Saltwater
Mrs. Seward was the wife of the late Victor G.
Seward, who for number of years editor of the
Saltwater Messenger: After the death of her hus-
band, she assumed control of the paper and man
aged it until her demise She always took active
interest in the affairs of this institution and in the
welfare of its inmates saying kindly words for them
in public whenever it was possible and doing many
acts in their behalf which will long keep her men,
DRY green in the hearts of the older members of the
colony.
Altho unable, on account of feeble health, to
attend our chapel services regularly, Mrs. Seward
never lost sight of the spiritual welfare of the
prisoners She particularly interested in the
school and Chautauqua Circle, and in fact in every
thing tending to lead the "boys and girls" confined
here toward better and happier lives.
At the time of her death, Mrs. Seward was max
ing preparations to seek milder climate in search
of health, and had planned to give her library to
the prison. The wish was complied with by her
daughter the library Consisting of about three hun
dred volumes) being sent here shortly after her

If as Mr.. Hubbard says, "The hand that helps

own bailiwick, it is not surprising that the first
sign of reaction in the of popular enthusiasm
which has lifted Circuit Attorney Folk, of ST. Louis
to national celebrity should manifest itself in st.
Louis The man who has delegated to himself the
task of stripping Mr. Folk is Mr.. William Marion
Reedy the vrile and occasionally viruent editor of
the Mirror, and the medium he has chosen to cir
culate his opinions is naturally his own paper.
What derogatory statements Mr.. Reedy neglects to
make anent Mr. Folk are hardly worth mentioning
He intimates that he is coward and tyrant, max
ing of his public Office instrument to further his
private interests; and he plainly says that he is an
migrate and trimmer, caring for nobody but himself
and discarding his friends when they be of no
more service to him. Altogether it is most aston
ishing TRADE that Mr.. Reedy has fathered. It is
interesting both as mastery exhibition of the at
tack insidious and as perfect specimen of refined
billingsgate And as the mirror formerly profess
ed to admire Mr. Folk and his methods it also illus
trates how far the pendulum will swing back when
momentum is superseded by gravity.
Men who do things, who accomplish anything
worth while, are doomed to certain amount of CAL
umny The greater the man, the more enemies he
will have. President Roosevelt is unpopular in
Wall Street; Mr.. Jerome finds himself in opposition
to large number of the voters of New York, and
now Mr.. Reedy opens the campaign in ST. Louis
against the last of the trio of successful reformers
But these men have delivered the goods. That's
something that can't be overlooked. Colonial Danes,
sacred apes, Ganges crocodiles white elephants and
virtuous chorus girls revered for what they are,
not for what they do; but, while it is sometimes
humiliating to have to admit it, it is nevertheless
fact that the only standard by which man can be
measured is what he has accomplished. Mr.. Folk has
freed st. Louis from disgraceful bondage, and
whether he had his work all cut out for himas the
he had-or whether he took the initiative
and started the investigation himself the fact remains
that he has done pretty thoroughly all his duty de-
handed of him. Mr.. Reedy lays himself open to
censure by his vicious attack, for vituperaton
acts on those who deal in it.
