Just Across the Line


Silver City: Reports say that Noun
tain City, just over the Nevada lima
from this county. is experiencing quite
boom at the present line. New dis
coveries have been made In some Of the
mines in that ancient camp and a
great number OF prospects have been
located and mining men Of means have
taken hold of some Of them under bond
and good deal OF energy II being dis
played in their development. In the old
town where grass has been growing on
the streets for years town lots which a
short time ago had no marketable value
are being picked up for 500 each. I'm
der modern methods Of treating the
ores there IL no reason why the mines
in that once noted district should not
again become prosperous.

As Loses His Bride

Grangeville: Albert Hoag. formerly
editor and proprietor OF the Mt. Idaho
Mail and Priest River Enterprise. was
all ready to be married. The bride was
to be Miss Ruby Bowen, Spokane
miss of seventeen summers Mr.. Hoag
went down to Spokane the other day to
claim his bride. but 1t transpires that
the bride-elect's mother had heard
some naughty stories about the editor,
TO the effect that he smoked real strong
cigars and dougted the story Of Jonah
and the whale and had atheistict end
sncies and It was all of. It appears that
Hoag was In church fight in Priest
River and that enemies In the church
row circulated reports about him. 1t
hasn't made and difference to Hoag,
however. and he has gone to the ex-
position and is taking his wedding trip
any way. The girl with the severe
mamma has been. sentt the horrid
town of Grea forks. b. c., to forget
her beloved.

James Stuart Visits Nezperce

Nezperce James Stuart. one Of the
most intelligent and highly educated
Indians among the Nezperce tribe Wis
tied our sanctum today. Mr.. Stuart
spent the past winter in Washington in
the interests of his people and by his
untiring efforts before the department
succeeded in effecting some settlements
of long standing between the Nezperces
and the government Mr. Stuart is a
surveyor by profession and has had
charge of much important work in this
section. Through him we learn that
the first partial survey OF the Nezperce
reservation was made forty years ago
by a government surveyor named
Thompson. At that line a portion Of
the reservation was surveyed into
twenty acre tracts. Later when the
survey was made beforet he land was
thrown open to settlement it was sur
veyed into forty acre tracts for allot-
ment to the Indians. Where no allot-
ments occur the land was only surveyed
into sections. This has always been a
mystery to people filing, as to how this
survey was really made. Mr.. Stuart
will remain here for some days survey
ing the race track and sites for the diff
ferent buildings at the fair grounds.

TttE MOVING QUESTION.

About this time each year hobs Up
A question that's perplCxinE.
A problem that disturbs the home
And many minds Is veNtug,
For now the landlord wants to know
What plans the tenants Weighing
And asks him IL he means 10 move
Or one more year be staying.
The mani for an answer pressed
Then finds his trouble growing,
For he has not made up his mind
On staying or on going.
He thinks that in conditions there
Is room for much improving.
And so again he wrestles with
The question as to moving.
He ponders DER the tearing up.
A task that he is dreading,
For well he knows II means for weeks
Discomfort will be spreading,
And then he thinks about the rush,
The hauling and the smashing
And guesses as to size OF bill
The movers will be flashing.
The other side he next reviews
To see II he'd be gaining
By giving up his present home
Or In II be remaining.
A better house. a lower rent.
Improvement In location.
Are points that he's considering
In making calculation.
At times on moving he decides
And then decides on staying.
Until at last he says the word,
And there's no more delaying.
The load is of the tenants mind.
And silenced Is suggestion,
But next yea he'll be up against
The same old moving question.

Did You Notice tie Large Num-
Der of People in Town?

Our attention has been called to
the. large number Of teams and peo-
pie. from the country that were in
town last Saturday. 1t resembled q
holiday. There were certainly as
many as on any day in the history
of the village excepting those days
Of special attraction. This certainly
is very gratifying when one stops to
consider the condition Of this ocun-
ty. 1t further demonstrates that
>Worthington is the place to come
when a. person desires quality, GUAM
tity. variety and the right price. 1t
is also gratifying to note the large
number when one stops to consider
the country folks are not obliged to
come here for their mail. There
are now four mail routes, running
in as many different directions,
therefore, the most Of the farmers
tributary to this place do not have
to come to town after their mail.
So taking it all in all there is every
reason to pat ourselves on the back
and say that Worthington is the
best twon in this part of the state
and talk it's advantages on every op-
portunity, rain OF shine, saloons or
no saloons: crop or no crops, good
or hard times, Worthington all the
