Boston,s Crooked Streets.

Boston has had to stand much Joking

the fact that it was his own coat tails
to which he was clinging. Early last
century Frenchman gave an interpre-

MAKING STEERS.
Lack of Quality In Steers For Feed
Lots Of the Corn Belt

Lots of the Corn Belt.
The value of we'll formed steers for
the feed lot is admitted by all cattle
feeders. The difficulty Of obtaining
such among the small herds Of cattle
Of the corn belt states is, however, just
as universally recognized This lack
Of quality in the steers of this region
is usually attributed to improper breed
ing, the use of poor sires and the adj
mixture of the blood Of the dairy
breeds.
Stating the case thus, J. j. Edgerton
of Illinois declares in Orange Judd
Farmer that care Of the steer during
calfhood is very largely responsible
for the kind of a steer he makes in tie
end. While the steers of the corn belt
states are mostly raised in small mum
bers, the total number that are pro-
duced in this section is very large, and
the increased wealth that would be
added to the accounts Of the farmers
there located, If these steers were all
properly raised, can hardly be esti-
mated
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1905-10-12
A Few Steers a side Issue.

Perhaps one of the chief causes uf
this lack Of proper raising is the fact
that with most of the farmers the rails
ing of a few steers is a side issue and
is given less attention than the rest of
their business. Under such circum-
stances the calf loses his natural sup
ply of food through the cow drying up
and cannot supplement it with pasture.
In addition he is sweltered with heat,
tormented with flies and possibly does
not have liberal supply of clean
fresh water to drink No calf can be
expected to develop properly under
such conditions. If the cows are being
MIXED and the calves fed by hand on
the skim milk they fare little better as
to care and proper feeding.

A Tough Biscuit.

In the manufacturers building at the
Lewis and Clark exposition is biscuit
of marvellous toughness; tougher than
the biscuits described ia the funny
papers, and thousand times as large
and heavy. This biscuit is of rubber,
and it weighs 10 pounds. 1t is worth
about 800.
The big biscuit is of Para rubber, the
most valuable kind, and was made by
natives in the jungles OF South Ameri
ca, three thousand miles from the
mouth of the Amazon river Para
rubber. named for Para, town near
the mouth of the Amazon, originally
was gathered near that place, but the
ravages of the rupper gatherers de-
stroyed the industry, and now rubber
trees grow only in the far inland val
leys. Under scientific methods now in
vogue che limit of rubber taken from
each tree is about three pounds.
The rubber as it comes from the tree
is about as thick as molasses. The
natives coagulate it in smoke, using a
stick as the center The big biscuit
now at the western worlds fair was
made in that way. Rubber from South
Africa is nol so valuable. King Leo
pold, of Belgium, now controls the out
put. In the old days the natives used
to coagulate the rubber about a rock
and sell it by weight, rock and all, but
this practice has been stopped. The
only rubber Produced in Uncle Sans
domain comes from the southern
islands of the Philippine group.

replacing them with new tanks and for
reducing the ore with Chilian mills
have all been drawn and adopted. The
loss in the saving of values, it is ex-
pected, will be materially reduced, and
the expense of handling the ore great
ly lessened. The old mill had become
out-of-date; was unhandy and expens-
i've to operate. One more modern will
be substituted. But all these changes
will require time, and while they are
being made it cannot be expected that
a full force Of miners would be en-
ployed in the mine. In the meantime
development work continues as usual,
and new ore bin is being constructed
down at the mill to hold surplus ore
necessarily taken out while develop
ment work is going on. Does all this
work indicate permanent shutdown?
Keep still, you croakers.

Little Valley.

Messrs. Honstead and Mattingly.
who last week went to Little valley to
look at the work going on at the dam
and reservoir being constructed there,
to provide for the irrigation of that
beautiful aud rich valley and lands be-
tween there and Snake river, came
home Saturday, deeply impressed with
the Importance of that big enterprise.
The reservoir, besides conserving the
waters of Jacks and Wickahony creeks,
will also be fed by canal led across
the low divide between Little valley
and Bruneau river. Little valley CON
tains more rich land than the famed
Bruneau valley. It is equally as we'll
protected as the latter, and with an
ample supply of water assured, is des-
tined to become one of the richest and
most productive spots in Idaho. A st.
Louis company, reported to have am
pie capital to carry out the undertak
ing, is now at work with many men
and teams, constructing the dam aud
reservoir, and will later on begin the
construction Of canal from the Brn-
neau river, taking out water above the
mouth of the canyon. Lands can be
taken up below the reservoir under the
desert land laws, by contracting with
the company for water supply. There
are still some available lands not taken
but the company is bringing people
from the east to locate on them, aud
soon there will be none left.
The engineers in charge supplied
Mr.. Honstead with figures, giving the
size of the dams and the method of
their construction; the acreage covered
by the reservoirs; the amount of water
they will hold; the length of the canals
and the amount of land they will re-
claim. But we have not the time to
avail ourselves with figures this week.
Later on we will attempt to describe
this great enterprise, all in our own
county, with full details.

The Show.

The Edison Theatre Company
people in the combination, gave very
creditable performance at Honstead's
hall, last night, to fairly good sized
audience. 1t was good, clean vaude-
vile show, made up of clever and
funny skits, songs and dances, moving
pictures, illustrated songs, etc. The
three Requa girls. one quite young
lady and the other two children, did
some very clever work. Woodson, one
of the male artists, sang we'll and was
the funny man of the combination.
The company will give performances
both tonight aud tomorrow night, and
we hope they will be greeted by good
houses. By some misunderstanding in
advertising the performance, prices of
admission were fixed last night at 70
cents general admission; reserved seats
LOO. This has been corrected so that
for succeeding performances, with en-
tire changes of program, seats will be
80 and 70 cents, and children 25 cents.
The company will show at Dewey
Monday night, going from there to
DeLamar and Jordan Valley.

Live Stock Market.

(Reported for Nugget by Clay, Rob-
inson & Co.. Chicago, September H.
Today's receipts of western cattle tot
aled about 10000 and these. together
with about $4,000 natives, made a sup
ply entirely too large for the trade.
Sales of westerns ruled generally 100
10 cts lower aud trading was very slow
at the decline; in fact, large part of
the offerings remained unsold up to a
late hour. We sold for c. j. Hysham,
Moorcroft, Wyo, two loads of I,468-lb
steers at $500, topping che days trade
by % cts. A few other lots of the best
steers went at S4. 10@S4.75 but bulk of
the offerings landed around S3.65@$3.-
80. while the few Dakota COWS sold at
81. .75@s2. 80. The quality of the offer
ings was only fairly good and the good
to choice heavy sorts we're in fairly
good demand. However, common to
medium wintered Texans we're greatly
in excess of the demand and proved
hard to sell.
Today's hog trade moved at SOLO cts
lower values, bulk of the good hogs go
ing at s5.5O@S5.7O. with the top at
$3.50.
Western sheep formed the bulk of
today's supply of 10000 and trade ruled
generally 1O@l5 cts lower on all grades
of sheep, while most kinds of killing
lambs we're 15@25 cts off. A big string
of Idaho yearlings went at $3.50 and
weathers from the same shipment
reached S4S5. Both of these offerings
we're strictly prime. Best western
lambs went at 81 20, while few fancy
natives went at $3.50. Sales of feeding
lambs were called 5@lO cts lower but
the demand was streng and trade ruled
active. One lot of fancy 52-lb feeders
went at $500

At DeLamar-The Way Things
Look to an Observer.

Saturday was DeLamar payday.
Things did not look as lively down
there as they usually look on pay-days.
There was not the usual crowd about
the resorts and on the streets. Half
the miners were drafted and left the
town when the mill shut down, and as
the company's manager does not an
nounce its future plans, all the croak-
ers are full of forebodings of a dull
future for that famous camp. We do
not think they need be, for they can
see many indications that it is going to
start up again all right. More than 30
men are still at work in the mine.
There are a greater supply of timbers
now on the ground than usual, and the
timber contractors keep on delivering
more with no signs of being shut off.
Dlifting is going on on the vein at the
mill level tunnel and connection is to
be made from this to the upper work
iugs in lthe mine, to provide better
ventilation. The works in the old mill
are all being torn out, and plans for

demand on Owyhee county exceeds by
$1,000 that of last year. We can con-
ceive of no reason why this should be
the case.
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Bird, he among
the miners recently drafted at Della
mar, went from there to the Del.amar
mines at Bully Hill, California, where
Mrs. Birds sister and brother-in-law,
Mr.. and Mrs Charles Carpenter, as
we'll as several other former DeLamar
people, reside. They are nice people
and left many friends behind them in
DeLamar.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ike Sharp, we'll known
Jordan Valley rauchers, after a mar
ried life of more than fifteen years
without child to bless their union,
had their hearts made lighter and their
home brighter, during the last week Of
August, by the arrival there of a
bouncing daughter, weighing ten
pounds. Mrs. Lindberg, of DeLamar,
who was there, and brought Nugget
the tardy news, says that joy nearly
overcame the happy father, and that
he is still walking on air.
The Idaho Inter Mountain Fair
opens at Boise, week from Monday.
1t promises to be the biggest fair ever
held in Idaho, and it should be. With
all industries in the state enjoying q
year of prosperity; with the country
filling up with new people as never be-
fore; with more people passing through
than at any previous time, and nearly
all of them wanting TO see something
of the country now so much talked
about, the fair ought to be a great sue
cess and everybody ought to put his
best foot forward to make it that.
John s. st Clair, clerk of the district
court, and Mrs. st Clair, arrived home
from Portland, Friday, after three
weeks visit in that city, and we are
ready to wager that they took in the
fair as thoroughly as any persons who
have gone from Idaho. John is most
