Territory Of the Hereros.

The territory occupied by the Hereros Is
1000 meters (3,2SS feet above the level of
the sea, on a plateau from which flow sew
eral rivers among them the SwakOp and
Omararu. From Swakopmund ON the coast
railroad leads to Windhoeck, and the
lands of the HererOS are situated near this
place and along the railroad line.
The Hereros live In three districtS-Oka-
handja, Omaruru and Waterberg. The
chief Of the Hereros is Samuel Maharero,
the head of all these natives. However. his
influence prevails only over his own dis
trict, the Okahandja Hereros. AT the head
of each district is chief, who Is practi-
cally independent of the head chief and 1t
is. therefore, hoped that the Omaruru and
Waterberg tribes will not be involved in
the uprising. Samuel Maharero is about
forty years old and Is said to be a lazy
drunkard. He is said 10 have a poor opinion
Of his own people having, declared that the
Hereros were large in stature, but had
small hearts.
The Hereros belong to one of the Bantu
tribes. During the eighteenth century and
at the beginning of the nineteenth. with
enormous heads of cattle they invaded the
territory which they now occupy in German
Southwest Africa They differ from the
other Bantu tribes in having small skulls,
large bent noses, thick hair. thin boards
long forearms, small faces and big feet.
They are large in stature but tricky, cow
ardly and bloodthirstyl They are ex-
tremely cunning and always take full adj
vantage of weaker person. Their avarice
Is intense. They will bubble over a few
pounds, even when they possess thousands
of heads of cattle 1t Is told of cases where
they closed the stores of traders who have
refused to give them goods for nothing
They are INSCRIPTIONS thieves, although
when caught they say a Herero never
steals. They are most bioodthirsty, and do
not hesitate to kill women and children
In the most cruel manner.

Court House Work.

Work on roof and dome of the
court house building has been pro-
crossing finely the past few days,
the mild weather permitting active
operations. The big copper globe
and square decorations are being
placed in position by the workmen
and fair idea of how the building
will appear when completed can be
gained.
The glass for the dome arrived
Thursday evening and will soon be
set. 1t is of fine quality and tex
ture, and five-eighths of an inch in
thickness the standard plate glass
averaging but five-sixteenths of an
inch. The circular windows in the
dome are five feet in diameter, and
the large panes in the square frames
measure 20x30 inches. The copper
in the dome and roof weighs 1000
pounds.
The windows are in and it is ex-
pected that dome and roof will be
completed within a week, weather
permitting Then the building will
be inclosed and the task of finishing
the interior may be carried forwa rd
without further interruption.
The view of surrounding country
from the dome is simply enhancing.
Stretching out on all sides are the
beautiful Grant county farms "a
grand, rolling prairie, dotted with
imposing residences and groups of
outbuildings, beautified by frequent
groves. On clear day by artificial
aid Platteville, Mt. Hope, Mt. Ida,
Fennimore and numerous hamlets
may be discerned from this COM
handing position.
The new court house will be all
that the architect and building COM
nittee have claimed for it, both as
to beauty and utility. 1t is un-
doubtedly one of the finest county
seat structures in the state.

Electric Light Matters.

The electric light plant of this
city has been running along so
smoothly for the past few years
that people generally now take the
excellent service as a matter of
course.
The plant now supplies 34O0 in
incandescent lights and 3S street
are lights. Sixty eight private
residences are using the service.
The service has been nearly per-
feet for three years now, there
having never been sufficient in
terruption in that time to inter
fere with business. This is fine
record.
The rapid extension of the SER
vice has again brought the manage
ment to the necessity of purchas-
ing greater power, and Manager
George Angus informs us that they
are now negotiating for a $50
horse engine to take the place of
the two SO-horse engines now in
use. The new machine weighs
$4,000 pounds and the price is
$4,000. -
A big extension now being made
to. the system is the placing Of
lights in the asylum. The poles
for this job are now set, the ma
terial, which cost 400, has ar
rived, and the work of. wiring the
building is in progress. 1t is ex-
pected that the current will be
turned. on in about six weeks.
There will be 313 incandescent
lights placed in this institution.
The question of lighting the
county home was postponed, on
account of the heavy cost Of the
asylum improvements.
The asylum line passes several farm
residences which may have the SER
vice. Ed Austin has already signi
fed his intention of wiring up his
house and barn.
A cheering piece of information
furnished us is the promise of the
management to give an all-night
service IN the near future, pro-
vided business continues good.
This is the only successful service
for public plant to supply, and
all who can use lights should en-
courage the management to speed
the day for introducing it.

When the butter won't

churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and

is the most satisfactory treat

DOUGLAS
COUNTY
COAL MINE

During the past week Secretary r..
w. Fem, of the Umpqua Coal Company,
spent several days at the company's
property, near Elkton, says the Rose
burg Review. He brought back some of
the best coal specimens yet taken out
there, being fully equal to the lhgh
grade blacksmith coal brought here
from the East and sold at $25 TO $50
per ton.
A comfortable house has just been
built for the men working at the mine,
and the development is in steady pro-
gress. Tunnels Nos. and are now
being put in. Comparatively few peo'
pie realize the magnitude of this enter
prise. Title to some more land was re-
Gently secured, and the company's hold
ings now aggregate over 1900 acres.
Prospect holes show that coal exists
over practically the entire tract, and
the regular development work shows
the first vein maintains a thickness of
nearly nine feet, including strata of
shale, and the coal grows better and
cleaner as depth is reached. This de-
velopment work alone is producing con
siderable quantities of good coal. Work
has also been commenced for the devel-
opment of the second vein, lying fully
200 feet below the first. This also has
a thickness Of about nine feet, and there
is every reason to believe that it will
show an even better quality of coal
than the upper vein.
No stock is now being offered for sale
by the company, and when any is again
placed on the market it will probably
be at not less than 25 cents per share.
transportation is now an important
feature under consideration. Until the
building Of a railroad line can be Sc
cured, it may be necessary to use teams
for hauling the high grade blacksmith
coal to drain for shipment. It's high
value viii doubtless justify the outlay.
To connect with the proposed railroad
line cable tramway about11a miles in
length will have to be put in from the
mine to the Umpqua river, and this
will be operated on a gravity system.
