London, England.-Ay Dear Chum.
4 received your letter yesterday, and
it made me homesick. Gee, but if /
could be home there with you and go
down to the swimming hole and get in
all over, and play tag in the sand. and
tie some boys pants and shirt in knots,
and veil that the police are coming,
and all grab our clothes under our
arms and run across lots with no
clothes on, and get in a barn and put
on our clothes, and dry our hair by
pounding it with stick, so we would
not get licked when we got home, life
would be worth living, but here all 1
do is to dodge people On the streets and
see them look cross when they step
on me.
Say, boy, you will never know your
luck in being citizen of good old
America. instead OF a subject of Great
Britain because you have got to be
rich or be hungry here, and if yol are
too rich you have got no appetite
You have heard of the roast beef Of
old England, but nobody eats it but
the dukes and bankers. The working
men never even saw picture of a
roast beef, and yet we look upon all
Englishmen as beef-eaters, but three
fourths Of the people IN this town lock
hungry and discouraged, and they
never seem to know whether they are
going to have any supper.
I went GOWN to market this morn
ing where the middle class and the
very poor people buy their supplies,
and it would make you sick to see
them. They buy small loaves Of bread
and penny worth Of tea, and that is
breakfast, and ii a man is working he
takes some Of the bread to work for
lunch, and the wife or mother buys a
carrot or a quarter Of a cabbage, and
maybe a bone with a piece Of meat
about as big as q fish bait, and that
makes supper, with d GROWER Of beer.
Say, the chunk of meat with a bone

at a dog that he had never been intro

Cannot Reduce q Rate.

It is stated in Washington, that under
the Townsend rate bill, if a rate is fixed
by the Commission it cannot be lowered
by railroad. Should an emergency
arise calling for a decreased rate. the
railroads or shippers would have to ap-
peal again to the Commission, there be-
ing no latitude allowed, whatever the
circumstances. Hitherto maximum
rate has been the rule but ne such con-
cession is made under the proposed leg

The tower covers ID acres of ground,
and there are more things brought to
a visitors attention that ought to be
forgotten than you ever thought about.
| remember attending the theater at
home ard seeing Richard the Third
played, and remember how my sym
pathies were aroused for the two little
boy princes that were murdered by
Richard the Third, but | thought it
was q fake play, and that there was
nothing true about it, but, by gosh, it
was right here in the Tower OF Lon
don that the old hump-baclSed cuss
and 1 stood right on the spot, and the
beef-eater who showed US around told
as all the particulars. Dad was in
dignant, and said to the beef-eater:
DO you mean to tell me you stood
around and let Richard kill those
princes without uttering a protest or
protecting them or ringing for the po-
lice? BY the great hornspoon, you
must have been accessory to the fact,
ard you ought to be arrested and
hung" and dad pounded his cane on
the stone floor and looked. savage,
The beef-eater got red in the face
and said: Begging your pardon, don't
you know, but hi was not 'efe at the
time. This istory was made six 'un-
dred years ago
Dad begged the mans pardon and
told him he supposed the boys were
murdered year or two ago, and he
gave the beef eater a dollar, and he
was so gratifed think he would have
had murder committed for dad right
there and then if dad had insisted on
It.
You feel in going through the tower
house. for it was here that kings and
queens were beheaded by the dozen.
They showed US axes that were used
to behead people, and blocks that the
heads of the victims were laid on, and
the places where the heads fell on the
floor It seemed that in olden times
when king or queen got too gay,
the anti-kings or queens would go to
tie palace and catch the king or queen
in the act, and take them by the neck
and hustle them to the tower, and
when a king or queen got in the tower
they went out On the installment plan,
and after being thrown in the gutter
for the mob to recognize. and walk on
the bodies, they would bring them
back in the tower, and seal them up in
a pigeon hole for future generations
to cry over.

Forest Fires on the payette.

A large timber fire that has been
burning for several weeks on the west
side of the valley has jumped the
Payette river and settlers on the east
side are now desperately fighting It In
efforts to save their homes Charles
Cox and G. Il. Avery, who have been
logging here, We're notified Tuesday
that their homes down the valley
were in danger and left here hurried
ly. John Brazier and other settlers
near Tamarack swamp have been
fighting fire for several days to try
and save their homes. and rumors are
current here that several settlers in
Beaver meadows have lost their
homes. A fire was started this week
In state timber about a mile north of

No less than IL large forest fires
are visible from some parts of the
valley, five being In view here. and
the settlers are getting alarmed. All
these fires are believed to be of in
cendiary origin.
This valley was swept from end to
end by fire In the fall of 1899, the
settlers losing everything they pos
sessed and some of them barely escap-
ing with their lives. Most of them
left the valley. destitute. and never
returned. A number of years elapsed
before the valley was again settled,
and the old settlers who went through
that trial and stayed know the danger
now threatening.
The settlers are feeling hard toward
the state because no effort has been
made to check these fires or arrest
those responsible for them. --LArdo

convention of the tribe Of Fish at the

purpose of suggestions as to the style
of architecture. Mr.. Lazy Whitefish
wanted an elevator put in, Mr.. Squaw-

low so he could slide over belly bus

Docket ir Crook County.

The October term of the circuit
court, which will convene in a few
weeks is likely to be one of the long
est in recent years. Criminal cases
are plentiful with good prospects of
the list being considerably heightened
and the civil cases will be about an
average in number. The indictments,
which have been returned against
stock rustlers, number a score and
many days will be consumed in TAX

of which will be vigorously defended.

WILLAMETTE PRIME CROP.
Harvest of the Immense Crop is Three
Weeks Early.

The prunc crop in this vicinity Is
coming along nicely both as to the
petite. or French, and Italian varie-
ties. says the Salem Statesman. The
petites are ripening fast and are drop
ping TN some sections, more heavy In
the lowlands than upon the uplands,
and this is the case with the Italians,
although the latter are from week
to 10 days behind the petites.
Growers are making preparations
for the harvest and some, in the low
lands. will begin this week, while in
the Rosedalc district. which has a
higher altitude than Liberty and on
the river flats, drying will commence
early next week generally.
There is every prospect for a most
excellent quality of fruit, especially is
this true with the Italians, which will
range close to 30-40 I'm size. and are
of unusually fine flavor. The .petites,
too. will be of much finer quality
than the average, and so, what the
valley grower lacks in quantity this
year he will more than make up for
in quality and much better price
VIII obtain in proportion.

Big Fires Near Long Valley.

Two big forest fires are destroying
great areas of timber near Long VAL
10y. They have been burning two
weeks. One Is eight miles northwest
of Van Wyck and has burned over
between 5000 and 5000 acres. The
other is four or five miles west of
Van Wyck. 1t has not spread over so
great an area as the one to the north
west. That section is all covered by
a forest reserve, but quite a lot of the
timber land was located before it was
set aside as reserve, and is now
owned mostly by the Payette Lumber
company. In 1888 a fire spread
through that country and destroyed
a great deal of the timber-Idaho
