WHAT THEY SAY

Sheriff Bailey: 81 am deeply
gratifed with the capture of
"Shorty. !" I have done every.
thing in my power to get him,
but his elusiveness is some
thing marvellous. Although I
was on his track several times
and thought that his capture
would be effected, it seemed that
he had the power to entirely dis
appear
j. 0. Harris: s'The real estate
business in Bemidji is picking up
considerably, and indications are
for a busy summer in this line.
At my Office during the past
week there have been more
transfers filed than in a month
during the winter. This is a
good indication for Bemidji, as a
large share of the transfers made
are for city property
A. Gilmour:: 6 have not yet
dropped the contest which I in
tended to institute against Mr..
Skinvik, but will be unable to dc
anything until after my return
from Minneapolis, where I will
serve upon the federal grand
jury. Quo warranto proceed.
ings will be instituted and I ex.
pect to win out, as [ do not think
that Mr.. Skinvik was regularly
elected
G. II. Miles. ri have given uE
the building of the hotel which I
had intended to erect in Bemidji
Bemidji is a good town, but I
hardly think that it could sup.
port the kind of place that I
had intended to build and main.
tain. I have other projects in
view, however, which will bene
fit the city to just as great an ex-
tent as the hotel proposition.
G.. A. fuller: ssOur various
business ventures IN northern
Minnesota are in a very satisfac.
tory condition. It is true that
times have been somewhat dull
for the past year but my expert,
ence is that they have been much
better in this section than any
where else in the northwest. .

Frank Lyons while returning

wolves which he does not care to
have repeated. When near the
mouth of the Tamarack and not
far from home he saw a nun Der
of wolves making for him and
thanks to a near by tree he was
soon in a place of safety, and
when he reached the top he says
his gray locks stood out like the
quilts of a porcupine on the de
fensivc. When asked as to the
number he said "O!I cannot tell
you how many but it seemed to
me that every wolf from Hudson
Bay to Bemidji was after me. .

much defense but remem bered

Caldwell and Shelley school
children, and rivals original
productions by the Indians them
selves, visitors finding it hard to
believe that the specimens are
the genuine handiwork of lesser
grade pupils. Boise, st. Anth-
ony, Caldwell and Shelley have
contributed several dozen pieces
of weaving from raffia and cloth,
and a fine sewing exhibit is in
place from School District No.
%, of Fremont county. Water
color work comes from Canyon,
Ada and Shoshone counties.
Drawings are shown from prac-
tically every county. Souvenirs
in sagebrush, and blacksmith
and woodwork shop products are
credited to the Weiser Industrial
School. A cabinet full of draw
ings from the Meridian schools
is worthy of note. Blackfoot
and Wardner have excellent
books of written work. While
mentioning names may, like com
parisons, appear odious, yet Wis
itors nearly all concede the palm
for genius to Ethel and Maud
Fowler, Of Boise, some of whose
drawings are really wonderful.
Adjoining the educational ex-
hibit quarters is a really excel
lent display of lace work, en-
broidered pictures, quilting and
similar work from Mrs. John
sons Bannock County Art School
of Pocatello; Mrs. Purti'Ps Lace
School, at Mountainhome, and
from Silver. City, Nampa, Muir
ray, Weiser and Boise. Mrs.
Brunell, of Silver. City, has a
quilt in the display that required
two years to make. Other con-
tributors were Mrs. A. Crete, of
Silver City, and Miss May Fish
er, of Pocatello.

sold. The same thing is to be
done with the buildings of the
town that belong to the com
pany, and within a short time
what was not long ago a prom
ising mining community will
have been scattered to the four
winds, and the railroad station
agent, if the road continues to
operate for the benefit of the
ranchers and cattlemen of that
region, will have a rather lone
some post.
Such is the gist of the infor-
nation released by Manager
Clark, who was in the city Thurs
day night, having arrived at 7:40
and pulled out for the north
again at 11:45. The orders from
the east came to him and the
residents of the town as unex-
pectedly as a clap of thunder
out of a clear sky, and conster-
nation reigns in the camp. Peo-
pie are getting out as rapidly as
they can, but the majority were
altogether unprepared for the
blow that was struck.
The White Knob copper prop
osition was looked upon in the
beginning as one of the greatest
copper propositions in the west.
The property was described as
being a veritable mountain of
ore, and SO plausible did every
thing appear that no trouble was
experienced in getting the rail
road to extend branch across
the desert from Blackfoot. 1t
looks as though the magic name
of Mackay was responsible for
the easy turning of the trick.
The company began lit career in
meteoric style. 1t shot into
prominence like a rocket; the
stick has just come down.

Frank Grotewald and Otto
Keninger came down last Sun
day from the Dewey and Minnie
Moore mines, which are owned
by Frank Grotewald and Frank
Richardson. The boys say they
have struck it rich. They claim
they have four inches of high
grade ore that runs all the way
from 300 to 400 ounces in silver
a ton, and whole lot of ledge
matter under the ore they Judge
by the way the pay streak looks.
The boys will be all right by
Fall.
About 20 inches of new snow
fell on the Skylark hill last Fri
day and Saturday, and it looked
somewhat winterlike up there.
Chris Peterson has commenced
work on his Big Lead mine,
which looks very fine. The ore
body is about a foot thick. Chris
has three men at work.
The miners on Centennial Flat
came down on Saturday, and
they say they have about car
load of shipping ore. All we
hope is that the company strikes
it rich.

Never did the Presbyterian

followed by twelve young ladies'
and gentlemen, marched upon
the platform, while Mrs. H. A.

WHITE KNOB CLOSES DOWN.
(salt Lake Herald.)

(Salt Lake Herald.)
One month ago everything
looked rosy for the White Knob
Copper company and Mackay.
Today the reverse is true and
everything points to the early
abandonment of the mines and
the camp in which not less than
So, 100000 has been spent during
the last four or five years, to say
nothing of the ninety miles of
railroad that were built by the
Oregon Short Line from Black
foot to the place from which so
much was expected.
A few weeks ago Manager N.
H. Clark was authorized to go
ahead with the development of
the mines and to prepare for the
operation of the smelter. One
of the furnances had been equip
ped with automatic feeders and
other economic devices, new
bricqueting plant had been in
stalled, and the mine boasted one
of the finest compressor plants
in the State of Idaho. Every
thing was in ship-shape for do
ing business, and doing it right,
and Manager Clark opened the
campaign.
All is now changed. About
the 10th of the month Frank N.
Leland, a New York lawyer and
one of the big men in the re-
organized company, appeared at
camp and notified Manager Clark
that it had been definitely decid-
ed to close down the mines, sell
off the machinery and equipment
and go out of business. No ex-
plantations were given, SO far as
can be learned, but the under
standing is that the decision was
the result of the report of en-
gineers and experts who We're
recently commissioned to exam
inc into and make a detailed re-
port on the proposition. There
is several weeks accumulation
of ore, at the company's smelling
works, and this, it is said, will
be run through the plant. After
that is done the smelter will be
dismantled and the material OF
which it is constructed will be

Such is typical conversation
that occurs every few minutes in
the splendid Idaho educational
exhibit at the Lewis and Clark
Fair, where dozens of Eastern
ers are hourly getting their first
insight into Idaho's standing in
an educational way from the
genial Boise schoolma'1m in
charge of the exhibit. Four
thousand people a day are look
ing at this department, and the
frankly expressed astonishment
of majority of them and the
change of view they experience
about Idaho's desirability as a
place to educate their children
are in themselves sufficient re-
ward to those who have worked
so hard to get the display placed
to best advantage. 1t is believed
by the officials connected with
the Idaho building that the in
fuence of the educational ex-
hibit as a means of attracting
the right kind of immigration to
the state will be remarkable.
Each of Idaho's q counties is
represented in some way in the
educational department, Wallace,
Boise, Idaho Falls, Moscow,
Caldwell and Lewiston being
among the towns making par
ticularly good showings. Even
remote sections of the state, how
ever, have not been forgotten,

from floor nearly to the roof on
one side.

and it is expected to be in commission within sixteen months from that time. There will be great breadth of beam in order to make a steady gun platform and also to reduce the draft so that she will be able to pass through the shall low water of the Suez canal. The ship is to be driven by turbines and her speed is to be twenty knots, or about twenty-three miles an hour. There is no battleship now afioat or building which carries or is to carry more than four guns of the largest size; that is, twelve or thirteen-inch guns. In all existing battleships these big guns are supplemented by secondary batteries, generally of six-inch guns. On the Dreadnought there will be none of these. One of the lessons in the naval operations of Japan and Russia teach es the importance of the great guns. and the theory now is that in battle between battleships the fight is to be decided before the vessels come within range of the smaller artillery. It is considered necessary for an effective battleship to be able to deliver stun ming blows at distance of five or six miles. The Dreadnought is to carry ten twelve-inch guns, and she will be able to fire in every two minutes three shells weighing $50 pounds each. This superior number of guns would, of course, give her such an advantage over the ordinary battleship as would make her equal to two or three of them. And her superiority is to be further increased by heavier defensive armor, which her great size will enable her to carry.
 This sea monster will cost about $10,- 100000, but it is the only battleship pro- vided for in this years naval construc- tion by England. In addition she will build four armored cruisers, eleven submarines and a number of small craft She has, however, now building eight battleships of more than 16,oOO tons and fourteen armored cruisers ranging in tonnage from 1O,7OO to 14,- 500. It is said that the destruction of the Russian navy has had a marked effect upon the annual increase of the British navy. The appropriations show a reduction of $1S,5Oo,OoO from last year. A number of proposed vessels have been abandoned, and for the first time in twenty years there is a decrease in the personnel.
