Crawford Hoxie, who was released
last week at the preliminary examine
tion of the Denver hold-ups, was later
re-arrested and held under $3.50 bonds,
which he procured and was turned
loose.
The snow fall on Craig mountain the
past winter was heavier than for eight
or ten years past and as plenty of snow
in the mountains usually insures a
generous rainfall during the summer
crops on the prairie this year should
certainly not be damaged for lack of
moisture.
Henry Kuiper and son and Mr..
Schau, three gentlemen from Breda,
Iowa, arrived in town late last week and
will look over this section with view
to purchasing farms if they can find
suitable property. The present bad
state of the roads and the inclement
weather has prevented them from see
ing many places yet but as soon as the
weather settles they will look up some
of the farms for sale in this neighbor-
hood. 1t is to be hoped they will de-
eide to locate here permanently.
Judge Jaques was visitor in the city
yesterday from Grangeville and favored
us with pleasant call. He had been
over near Westlake appraising some
grazing land for the state and returned
home on the stage yesterday. While
here he informed us that considerable
state land would be appraised as soon as
the roads became passable and that an
other state land sale would likely occur
early in the summer. The Judge favors
the state land being sold rather than
leased as it then makes permanent
homes for the farmers and thereby
brings more revenue to the county in
the way of taxes.
George Davis and Fred and George
Lange have been busy this week hauling
lumber from the Krieger mill near
Keuterville for new saloon building
which Johh Funke will erect on the lot
adjoining the photograph gallery, on
King street. The building will cover the
lot and will be one story high. Con-
struction will be commenced in the near
future and the building will be complet-
ed as rapidly as possible to enable Mr..
Funke to occupy it at an early date as
Jos. Sehober intends remodeling the
building now occupied by Mr.. Funke
and will open saloon himself therein
early this summer.

The ELECTION.

cept Sheriff.

Tho day was especially favor
able to large turnout and q large
vote was polled. 1t was a battle
royal among the politicians, and
the result shows tnat there was
much cutting done by both part
les. The new form of ballots
caused very many persons to
lose their votes or to vote for on.
ly part of the ticket when they
intended to vote it all.
While there Is disappointment
among the defeated, yet there IS
no more bad feeling than If the
principal actors had been playing
a game of checkers or pitching a
game of horseshoes.
When man goes into politics
he takes hold Of a game of chance.
He puts up his cash, his time, and
energy, we'll knowing that either
he or his opponent must be de-
feated and when one finds that
he has come out short it is better
to take the matter philosophical.

The Worlds Iron Deposits.

Public attention has often been
drawn to the alarming rate at
which the coal supplies of the
world, and especially of Great
Britain, are being exhausted, says
the London Telegraph. 1t is not
so generally realized that iron ore
deposits are disappearing at an
equally, if not even more rapid
rate. The leading manufactur-
inS nations of Europe have used
up their best ore bodies and are
casting about for foreign sources
of supply. This state of things
exists also in the United States.
Not long ago Pennsylvania and
the eastern portion of the state
of New York furnished a great
part of the ore used in the States.
These deposits are p' actically
worked out. For q Der OF
years the immense beds on the
southern shores of Lske Super.
ior have been worked, the out
put being remarkably rich In the
percentage of metal; yet such is
the rate OF exhaustion that, az
cordlug to recent computations
this vast store, so far as the bet
ter qualities of ore are concern
ed, will not last more than forty
or fifty years. 1t has been reck
oned that there are q billion ton,
of high quality; over $4,000. .00'
tons are taken out annually, s,
