On account of a grievance in regard
to the sharpening of granite tools by
machines and those sharpened by hand,
the blaoksmiths in Barclay Bros.
granite shed in Barre walked out on
Friday morning and in consequence
the cutters were all idle in the after
noon. On Saturday, work was re-
sumed in this shed and no serious
trouble was feared. Acting on the
advice of James Duncan of the Ma.
tional Union, three men were supplied
in the shed to take the place of the
sharpeners who went out. The matter
of the sharpening machine has been
the subject Of considerable discussion
and debate, and committees from the
stone cutters, the sharpeners, and the
manufacturers association met onlv
short time ago and it was Thought
the matter was brought to satisfac-
tory arrangement for all concerned.
The hand sharpeners, however, have
not been satisfied with the agreement
which was reached, hence the diff
Guilty.
All stone cutters of Barre and Mont
peller were idle on Monday as result
of a meeting of the manufacturers

suspension of work in the sheds was
voted until the trouble with the sharp

manufacturers, being members of the
Granite Manufacturers Association,
were involved and about 2, 500 men
were affected by the action. The mat
ter was settled on Tuesday afternoon
and the sharpeners returned to work
on Wednesday morning abiding by the
former agreement. The hand sharp
eners will sharpen all tools that can
not be handled to advantage on the
machine. This was decided at the
meeting in Barre on Tuesday after
noon.
The Jumpers. boxers and derrick
men of Barre, who stated on Tuesday
that they had grievance against the
manufacturers have given out through
their secretary, Mccarthy, that they
return to work as individuals and not
as a union The Montpelier Jumpers
and polishers went to work On We'd
nesday also.
The smoke OF battle in the granite
trouble between the blacksmiths and
manufacturers has cleared away and
the shops again resound to the sound
of hammer and ohisel this morning.
The cutters suspended work on Mon.
day upon notice by the manufacturers
when they returned to work at noon
They were out less than forty-eight
hours altogether

Successful Revival.

The revival services which have been
in progress at the First Presbyterian
church during the past week under the
preaching of Evangelist Lowry have
of great interest and have attracted
large audiences by the depth and
ferver of the discourses and the
spirited singing under the leadership
of Mr.. Holden.
The attendance is growing and the
interest increasing from day to day
and much good is being accomplished
by turning attention from material to
spiritual affairs. Mr.. Lowry is very
clear, cogHnt speaker and in staying
away from these meetings you are
depriving yourself of a real treat.
The public is cordially invited to at
tend these services.

MYSTERIES OF SAP.
How the Circulation From Root. &c
Leaves Is Mnintnined.

How the Circulation From Root. to
Leaves Is Mnintaiued.
To illustrate the modern view of sap
circulation, which is not thoroughly un-
derstood, it is necessary to explain
that the chief food of the plants, con-
sisting of inorganic salts dissolved in
water. is absorbed from the soil by the
roots. The root consists OF hollow
tube or cylinder lined with several
cells, the outer layer of which contains
certain hairlike processes.
The water in the soil. containing the
root hairs and passes by filtration into
the cells and capillary vessels. The
activity OF these root hairs and the
concentrat ton Of fuid in the adjacent
cells create what is called root pres
sure" and this forces the sap into the
general vascular system of the plant
and up to Its furthest extremities. or
leaves.
This root pressure" il further sup
plemented by Transportation" or loss of
vapor from the leaves under the infiu-
ence of heat and light. Plants may be
said to breathe or respire by their
leaves. and this abstraction OF water
by transpirr ton creates a fresh de-
mand for the vital tiuid supplied by the
roots. In this way the circulation. or
rising of the sap" from root to leaves,
Is maintained.-Pearso

Howard School
Gets An Organ.

Howard school wanted an organ.
Miss Ellenor Fay, the popular prin-
cipal, conceived an idea.
On the evening of February 10, Miss
Fay entertained the society of Howard
An entertaining program was given,
including recitations dialogues, music.
Mrs. W. Wiley, an artist on the
piano, rendered some Of her most
difficult selections.
Howard furnished large, appre-
ciative audience.
At 10 O'Clock decorated baskets with
lunch for two were sold of by auction
by Mr.. Mitchell, who stands peer Of
any today in the state, his original re-
marks kept the hilarity up while in
teresting bidding went on. The baskets
themselves were works Of art and
showed the high artistic taste Of the
Howard ladies'. No basket brought
less than 75c and some brought $2.75.
For liberal purses the Howard men
are also noted.
The proceeds were for the purchas-
ing of the organ for the school, but
they exceeded the purpose and now we
have an organ and $40 for starting a
school library. Everybody happy and
and Miss Fay deservedly has the great
full thangs of all.

NORTHWESTERN
RAILWAY COMING.
TO BE BUILT FROM CASPER, wYo-
MING, TO EUREKA BAY,
CALIFORNIA.

1t can be stated authoritative
ly that the proposed railroad
from Casper, Wyoming, to Eur
eka Bay, California, has been
financed through the Southwest
ern Trust company of Kansas
City, Mo-, and work upon the
completion of the preliminary
survey will be commenced with
in a fortnight. Word to this eff
feet was received last week.
The route of the proposed rail
road will enter the Bitter Root
pass and traverse the several
mineral districts of Blaine, Gus
ter and Elmore counties and give
Boise through line. 1t is evi-
dent the project is promoted in
the interest of the Northwest
ern, and it will afford a Pacific
coast terminus for that road and
shorten the distance from Chica-
go to SanFrancisco IL hours.
One of the objective points of
the road will be the immense
coal bearing region of the Big
Hole country of Wyoming and
the Teton basin coal fields of
Idaho. The road will also pass
through the Yellowstone park.
1t will tap several important
timber belts in addition to a vast
territory devoted to the stock
raising industry. It's Importance
to Boise and southern Idaho can
hardly be estimated.
From information at hand the
principles of the proposed rail.
road will arrive in Boise about
August 18th, to formulate plans
for the completion of the pre-.
liminary survey. The project
has been considered in all its
details by the promoters and the
very fact that active work is to
be started at once is considered
an indication that a determine
ton has been reached to build
the road with all possible speed.
1t has been generally known fol
a long time that the Northwest,
ern has been seeking a Pacific
coast terminus. 1t is stated the
road will be built into SanFran
cisco, although the coast ter.
minus will be at Eureka bay
where over 81, 100000 has beer
expended in harbor improve
ments.
1t is estimated the preliminary
survey will require the expendi
ture of $4,000, which amount
has been set aside for that pur
pose. E. E. Forshay will have
charge of this work. He is max
ing arrangements to employ {
large force in the survey. The
, road will involve the investment
:. of from $50, ,O0O, 900 to $50, 900, ,OOC
in construction and equipment
, AS stated, its Importance to the
southern part of Idaho, and the
, mining and other industries O
Custer county is beyond compu
tation as it will solve the prob
lem of transportation for the
! mineral and timber area of south

guns that not only excelled those

target was sheet of canvas q

DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION.
CUSTER COUNTY SELECTS DELE
GATES TO ATTEND STATE
CONVENTION.

The Democratic County Con-
vention to elect eight delegates
from Custer county to attend
the Democratic State Conven-
tion at Lewiston, Aug. 18th, was
held at Challis last Wednesday,
Aug. 10th, at 2 o'clock p. m.
The convention was not large
ly attended by delegates, this be-
ing the case in Custer county by
both political parties when coun-
ty conventions are held to send
delegates to their State conven-
tions, but when county conven-
tions are held to nominate coun-
ty officers are held, every pre-
cinct in the county is represent
ed to it's full delegation.
Out of the delegates elected
last Wednesday, probably only
two will be in attendance, viz i:
Senator Fred. T. Dubois and
Attorney N. H. Clark. To make
the trip to Lewiston is too ex-
pensive and many of our people
cannot well afford it.
In the matter of fixing a time
and place for holding the county
nominating convention was left
with the Democratic County Cen
tral Committee, but was recon-
mended that it be held at Clay
ton during the latter part OF
ISeptember.
The following named delegates
were elected to the State conven
tion at Lewiston
Senator Fred. T. Dubois, dele
gate-at-large.
Senator Macbeth, Custer.
Senator Campbell, Clayton.
Hon. J. J. Fitzpatrick, ,Mackay
Hon. N. III. Clark, Mackay.

The convention at Challi

racy this year throughout tn
nation is harmony and unity c
its followers which means
grand sweeping victory.
