WEIsER SIGNAL:
+ An old time figure Of Washington
county has just been buried here
Uncle Isaac Irwin. Mr.. Irwin was
well up IN the seventies and died
peacefully at the home place on cir
win Bar" surrounded and attended
by the greater part of his numerous
descendants.
Uncle Isaac is well known through
out Washington county, which coun-
ty he has represented in the old ter
ritorial legislature. and whose demo-
cratic conventions he ALWAYS attended
for years, generally in an official
party capacity. The funeral was ,
most imposing one to one who does
not measure things by the rule of
the fashion crazed and the shallow
worldly. The simple ceremonies
Tout of doors, with the home made
Icasket resting beneath the shade OF
the fragrant blooming peach and ap-
pie trees planted by his own hand
and before the door of the house he
had built, with the tears OF his tribe
falling and the imposing monument
OF Natures own frowning rocks anc
giant peaks surrounding and looking
down upon his future resting place
assumed the nature of more touch
ing appeal to the Throne Of Grace, {
more splendid tribute to his passing
spirit than could any burial attended
by pomp and parade in one of th'
worlds grand csthedrals. A cathe
N Ndral, magnificent and grand, of Ma
. ture's own making, was this spot o
Nof earth, with the sky for a dom
and the declivitous, rearing canyol
, sides for walls, and as he was lai'
away in the mauslem of the might,
{ hills, their rough skyline seemed EN-
2 blematic of Uncle Isaacs pa'hwa
through life, climbing its towerln
I peaks in hls own way, far from tn
!, worlds great, as greatness goes, bu
4 thsturdy and true as he blazed the wa
# for the footsle cps of civilization, an
: finally climbing the last summit I
descend into the peaceful valley {
3 rest, and await the call as cheerful
/ as should all of us when we hay
n reached the frosty age where lifeshs
% lost lis allurements and only bette
is and higher things hold pleasure.
v Mr. Adsley, of Pollock, preache
the funeral in we'll chosen words ar
ali the inhabitants of the vlclni'
followed his remains to the grave.

D Mackenzie, manager of the En-
press Mining company, has received
some highly important information
from the company's property on Lo-
gan creek in Big creek section, says
the Boise Statesman.
The main works of the mine are
on the hill south Of Logan creek
Across the gulch on tue opposite
hillside the locators ran tunnel
some 80 feet in on the vein. This
showed ore all the way Of compare
lively low grade Recently, under
the direction of Mr.. Mackenzie, work
was started up on this tunnel on the
north hill. 1t was driven forward a
few feet and the crosscut was run
toward the footwall
The superintendent now reports
that the crosscut has been driven 20
feet, all in good ore, the tunnel being
| found to have been in low grade
body Of ore lying beside one of high
grade. He sent in samples of the
ore. 1t showed little lead and il
heavy in sulphides of iron.
One of the samples was an average
of the 20 feet. 1t has been assayed
and showed value of 2.48 ounces
in gold and SO % ounces in silvel
per ton, total value of $74.72.
The crosscut had not reached thu
wall when the superintendent report
ed. 1t is about 75 feet below th
surface.
1t is the intention to continue worl
at that point to develop the ore shoe
to the greatest possible depth on tha
level. The tunnel will be drive
ahead and crosscuss made at fire
ouent intervals to disclose the sid
of the vein and the ore body.
On the surface this ore body ha
been traced somewhat more than 40
feet.

. The Two BOOtblackS.

About two weeks ago, two hus'l-
ing little bootblacks landed in Wei
ser from the east, having beat their
way from Chicsgo, so they said.
They were "touring" the country and
we're gong on to Portland and Seat
tie. They are hustlers and we're do
ing well until they reached Baker
City, when they came to grief. The
boys made number of warm friends
in Weiser who will regret to hear of
their misfortune in the following
from the Baker City Herald:
While attempting to board NOV
ing OR. &N. tram and beat his way
west, little bootblack from Salt
Lake broke his leg at the Baker City
depot few days ago. He was TAX
en- to the hospital and the fracture
| reduced by DR.. Mcdaniel. The aid
Of the county has been enlisted and
the little sinner will receive the best
of care. His pal. another bootblack,
has decided not 10 desert his unfor-
tpnate partner and has engaged In
business in Beker City pending the
recovery OF bis side.kicker. II Z

Colombian Natives.

In Colombia the huts of the poor are
of logs, with bamboo plated sides and
mud filled chinks. The windows have
wooden shutters, but no glass. Sleep
ing places are bamboo benches with
hide thrown over them, or hammocks
woven by the women. Gourds Of vari-
GUS shapes and sizes do duty for dishes,
spoons and knives. Chairs and benches
are followed logs Of wood. But the
poems get their living easily and enjoy
life we'll. They delight in music and
dancing, and women as we'll as men are
smokers Cockfghting is a favOrite
amusement.
The peasant women are usually bare
footed and bareheaded, with mantillas
for special occasions. Their dress is a
short skirt and bodice or an ample
frilled low necked garment called a
pollera. Even the poorer classes are
bedecked with jewelry.

The Goose and GridirOn.

There existed in London long before
the great fire in st. .Paups churchyard
a very popular music house called the
Miter Here concerts were held, and
the music at these performances had at
least the merit Of volume and joyous
ness. But the great fire laid the build
ing in ruins and banished the music.
When the place was rebuilt, the new
tenant, wishing to ridicule the charac-
ter Of the former business, chose as his
sign a goose stroking the bars OF a
gridiron with her foot and wrote be-
low, 'The Swan and Harp" At the
Goose and Gridiron Sir Christopher
Wren presided over the st. Pauls lodge
of Freemasons for over eighteen years,
and he presented to the lodge the trow-
ell and mallet with which he laid the
first stone of the cathedral. The goose
is still preserved with her unmusical
"harp" in Guildhall.-Julian King Col
ford in st. Nicholas.

MOmmsen's "Roman History"

Some one has we'll said that but for
the Roman History Mommsen would
be a great man taken on faith That
is probably true, but we have the ''Ro-
man History" perhaps the most re-
markable piece Of German literature
written in the middle of the nine
teenth century. 1t is wonderful tes-
timony to the power of humanity over
humanity that the most human work
which Mommsen wrote should be the
most popular. The Roman History"
was the expression Of the whole man,
and if ever it should cease to have
value as Roman history it will never
cease to be of value as spiritual doc
ument, as a picture of the hopes and
ideals Of Theodor Mommsen. By a
happy chance when the book was
brought into the world 1t appeared in
the naked simplicity Of it's narrative
without the swaddling clothes Of foot
notes and sources. The clear cut style
showed forth to it's best, advantage.
The world at large took it's statements
as faith. Scholars were at liberty to
test them in other books of Mommsen
himself or of other men.-ProfessOr
