Custer County.

Custer county, Idaho, offers vast inducements to settlers an
capitalists. It's beautiful scenery, its enterprising people, its var
led resources. and its brilliant prospects not inaptly commemorate
the name of General Custer, whose dashing, romantic, yet produc-
tive career has become a part of our national history. Thirty five
years ago, when placer mining was in its prime and quartz mining
in its infancy, the territory now embraced in its confines was
known only to Indians aud an occasional party of prospectors
travelling to or from Montana. To them a wilderness, to the max
Ies Of maps it was UNEMPLOYED" In 1862 placers were actively
worked in Stanley Basin, on what is now our western border and
in 1869 a few yenturesome men found rich ground on Loon creek
In 1870 other placers were discovered and yielded handsomely, but
forming Custer county was practically unknown. From 1875 to
1879, the fame of its rich mines spread Notwithstanding capital
lists and increasing its popuaton-until the following year, by
legislative enactment, Custer county was created, and has hrived
since that time, until today it has d population of 5000 people,
aud has the following towns
ChallS-County seat, farming, stock-raising, fruit and mining
Mackay-Mining and farming.
MISUNDERSTANDING and stock-raising
Bayhorse-Mining
Clayton-Mining, farming and stock. raising.
B~onanza-Mining
Custer-Mining.
Stanley-Placer and quartz mining, and grazing land.
Custer county also has numerous large valleys where farming
and stocfraising is pursued 10 a great extent, viz Big Lost Riv-
er valley; Thousand Spring; Round; Pahsamaro; East Fork; An
teope and Stanley.
Custer county embraces in irregular outline about 5000 square
miles, ard it is as large as the State of Connecticut, and larger
than Delaware and Rhode Island together; situated in central Ida
DO, it is reached by the Oregon Short Line railroad on the east,
aud this road will probably be extended to Chanis next year. The
Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone company have a line from Black
foot 20 Challis. The resources of Custer county are found in it's
mines and its agricultural and grazing lands.

STEAM TURBINE A SUCCESS.
Naval Engineers Pleased With Exam
ination of Device.

ination of Device.
A board of naval engineering ex-
perts has just completed a thorough
examination of the Turbina, one of
the latest developments of the steam
turbine as applied to vessels. The re,
suits of the inspection will be made
known in detail in a report on the
subject of turbine power which the
board will prepare, but it may be said
the performance of the turbine was re-
garded as highly satisfactory, in the
complete absence of vibration and in
the comfort of the crew. Further
more, almost no more repairs are nee
essary to the engines, there being no
friction except in few bearings.
There is no pounding and thudding
of engines, nothing but a soft rush
of steam through the pipes, so that
noise is suppressed, valuable con-
sideration in naval combats. The en-
CINE room force is largely reduced.
Additional coal carrying capacity is
gained by the reduction of the weight
OF the engines, and the center of gray
ity is lowered through the motors be-
ing placed just above the keel. Now
that a practicable reversing device
has been found and installed in this
boat, the naval engineers are prepar-
ed to press forward the completion of
their plans for the installation of the
new turbines on their engines.
The Turbina was built in England
and was originally intended for coast.
ing, but she crossed the Atlantic un.
der her own steam and without stop
ping.

CAR TO EDUCATE WARRIORS.
Gives Money to Found One Hundred
Scholarships.

An imperial decree has been publish
ed directing that in commemoration
of the czarevitch's birth a sum of
money shall be assigned from the i'm
perial privy purse, sufficient to found
100 scholarships. These are to be di-
vided equally between naval and mil
itary educational establishments. The
scholarships are to be named after
the emperor and empress and award
ed to children of deserving soldiers
and sailors killed or wounded in the
war.
The decree also directs that the ad-
ministration of the imperial estates
shall devote the annual interest ac-
cruing from the sum of $1,000,000 for
the support, in the name of the whole
imperial family of families of soldiers
and sailors-the money to be used
preferably for the education of their
children.

PENSION LIST SHRINKING.
For the Nation-Northwest Shows In
crease in Number.


The annual report of Pension Com
missioner Ware shows that the gov
eminent has dealt literally with pen
sion claimants in the northwest dur
ing the past year, as evidenced by a
large increase in the number of pen
sions and in the amounts of money
paid. In Oregon. where there were
SIT pensioners in 1908, drawing pen
sions aggregating $77S,773, there were
during last year 7067 pensioners, to
whom the government paid $96S,92S.
Washington shows an increase from
1903, to S773 pensioners drawing ST.
1860 in 1904.
In Idaho there has been an increase
from 1902 pensioners drawing $242,-
$40 in 1908, to 1949 pensioners draw
ing 1857 ,007 in 1904.
The increase in the number of pen
sioners in the northwestern states is
stated to be largely due to the al
lowance of large number of Indian
war pension claims and claims of sol
diers or relatives of those who served
in the Spanish war
The report shows that during the
year the cost of maintaining the pen
sion system of the government has
been $144,741,7S The appropriation
for this purpose was $146.461, 296, leav-
ing an unexpected balance of $1,706..
500. During the year 1874 persons
were added to and 49.157 dropped from
the pension list.

NO MEDIATION AT PRESENT.
A Big Russian Victory is the Only
Chance.


1t is learned in connection with the
revival of rumors of mediation that
Emperor Nicholas only recently an
nounced in the most positive terms
that he would not permit peace nego.
tiations even should Port Arthur fall
and General Kuropatkin be driven
back to Hardin. This fact. we'll un-
derstood in official circles, has pre-
vented the British government from
taking any steps in the direction of
mediation. 1t is known here that Ger
many understands this attitude of the
emperor as we'll as Great Britain and
other powers. Therefore the report
from Paris that Emperor William is
prepared to suggest peace is dismiss
ed as groundless, for the present at
least. If General Kuropatkin, how
ever. should win decisive victory at
Liaoyang, which. in a measure, would
retsore Russian prestige, it is believed
here that the restoration of peace
would be materially facilitated.

JEFFRIEs STILL CHAMPION.
Monroe Not in ia Very Poor Elk
cuSe, ~~

MONROE NoI IN IA very Poor EN-
cuse.
San Francisco-Like the veriest
amateur in the prize ring, Jack Mum
roe of Butte, Mont, went down and
out before Champion James ]. Jeffries
Friday night in the second round. The
man from the mining district made
such an extremely sorry showing that
the great throng in Mechanics pavil-
ion roundly hooted him as he protest
ed to Referee Graney against the de-
cision that had been given in favor
of the champion. The two giants had
not been in the ring two minutes when
it was foreseen that the aspirations of
Munroe would be quickly disposed Of
The gross receipts of the Jeffries-
Monroe fight were $21, 800, of which
Jeffries received $9,156 and Munroe
$6,104, the remainder going to the
promoters of the contest.
All who witnessed the. one sided en-
counter agree that the champion is
in class by himself, and that no other
living pugilist is likely to dispute his
right to the title. Throughout the
round and As seconds that the fight
lasted Jeffries showed gum and smil-
ed He was perfectly calm and en-
tirely at his ease.
Munroe was pale, and evidently ner-
vous. Never for a moment did he
stand the slightest chance to win, but
he was game and determined to fight
to the end. Had not Referee Graney
interceded as Jeffries was preparing
to land the decisive blow the bout
might have ended in a tragedy.
Munroe finds consolation in the be-
lief that he went as far with Jeffries
as anyone could.
The champion anticipated severe
battle, and expressed himself as sur
prised that his opponent made so poor
showing. While disappointed at the
brevity of the fight, which some paid
$40 to see, sporting men admit that
it was genuine battle for supremacy
and that the best man won.
