GREAT EXPECTATIONS
 OF TWO YEARS AGO
Recalled by Newspaper Clip ping About the Panama
 Country.

The following clipping IS from an outside newspaper of 1903:
 Tacoma, Wash. March II.-The latest and most comprehensive ac- count of the strike in the Panama district comes i'll the following letter from Circle City:
 There are I5o men building town across the Panama from the Belt & Hen dricks station near the government res ervation. No building material or mining tools are to be had The town is called Panama City. Lot jumping is fast and furious Physical force is freely used to enforce actual or imaginary rights. Some provisions. such as, flour, canned goods, meats, etc, were to be had until about the middle of January, but are all sold now.
 People tending to go must take with them supplies to last until navigation opens.
 Pay ore running from , to 30 cents has been found oil the five creeks. No rich pans or bedrock on any of them; in fact, the bedrock carries no pay at all. The gravel varies from three to fifteen feet in thickness, carrying pay nearly all the way. A gray streak seems to run through the gravel from one to five feet below the muck, and from that streak to bedrock every pan is pay dirt. The muck is from six to eight feet thick. On Goldstream several men are working, taking out dumps. That creek is fifteen miles long, and, in places, three claims wide. All claims are full-size American claims.
 After discovery had been made on the creek, claims were staked on each side of discovery claim, and on all three claims all of them. Pedro creek, which is prac- tically upper Goidstream, and which has been the first claim staked, seems to be better than the lower stream, but much trouble is encountered on the upper end with water. lack Costa Qtalian Jack ), owner of No. above, has twelve holes to bedrock. extending soo feet in length and 80 feet in width.
 Lieutenant Gibbs. United States signal -ervice, is reported to have banned pros peeted and computed Jacks claim, and gave as his estimate that there Is t7,. ooo.ooo m sight on tha, stream alone.
 cleary creek. another stream running into MeMaaus. is about the same length and width ss Colistresm. and prospect iug there proves that about the same Is expected irem that creek as Colds.fesm ss Pedro. The gravel ia the whole re- gioa is highly gold bearing. and. while no bis pans have hssn foand. there Is every vasen to expect a camp ef pfoat.

THIRD TRIAL SET
 FOR TOMORROW
George A. Salisbury's Case Before Commissioners
 Court.

George A. Salisbury was before United States Commissioner Green on Monday, charged with using profane and obscene language in a public place, to the annoyance of others. Capt. A. H Mayo was the complaining witness, and the of fense is alleged to have been com mitted ill the Florence saloon last Saturday night. Salisbury conduct ed his own case; no attorney ap- peared for the prosecution.
 The defense made no effort to disprove the objectionable lan- guage, and the case went to a jury shortly after o'clock. The jury was composed as follows:
 C. l. Jordan, Tom Young, C. A. Brown, John Skinner, CaL. Co)li- nette, and $. I. Chace.
 A mistrial resulted. and on Tues day the proceedings were again gone through and the case submit ted to second jury, which like wise failed to agree. This jury consisted of the following:
 w. A. Mckinney, Frank Brown, Peter Raining, J. M. Geggie, John Wiehl, and William McManus.
 The case was again set for o'clock today, when the defendant was to receive hearing on appli- cation for a postponement in order to secure the attendance of an ab. sent witness.
 When brought into court to plead on Monday the defendant was fined $25 for contempt of court in using abusive language. During the trial on that day he was fined for like ofienses four times. aggregating $ioo. This was remitted and the the first fine collected. Three $25 contempt fines. imposed at Tues days trial. were to be paid today.
 The case has excited much local interest and little else has been talked of during the week.
 LATRR.-At , o'clock today tie defendant withdrew the motion to postpone, and a new jury was or dered for tomorrow at i o'clock.

able nature there. Claim owners are diligently searching for men to go to work, offering $Is day. Labor is very scarce.
 Rampant, Wearc and Nome, which are reached by wire direct from the diggings, report stampedes from their camps.
 In some respects the great ex pecta,iors of two years ago have beer more than realized. Then it would have been venturesome op,imist to predict city like Fair banks certering population of more than 1000 in March, 1905. But the mutability of human judg- ment Is shown by the estimates on some creeks then and Pedro, for instance.

A mixture of three parts coal tar and
one part clean. unsalted grease. to pre-
vent the tar from drying until it has
had time TO fiji the pores of the wood,
is also first-class preservatlve. says
the Farm and Home. One barrel coal
tar should cover 300 posts. This may
be painted upon the posts. but better
be applied in bath as described
above. In either case the posts should
not be set deeper than the tar has been
applied. An application TO the top or
exposed part of the post need not be so
thorough. Good paint is more valuable
for exposed portions.
Posts used in this way should be
thoroughly dry and well seasoned be-
fore the tar is applied. otherwise when
set they will rot quite as rapidly as if
untreated. Heavy tar oils. such as
carbolineum. are better than paints or
coal tars. but are expensive for general
use. Charring posts before setting is
rot good practice. because when
charred large cracks appear. which are
openings for rot.

A new and special type Of automo-
bile has recently been put on the mar
ket in Scotland which is designed cspe.
cially for farm work, and which is not
only suitable for plowins. but may be
equipped with Il cultivator or reaper
1t Will prepare the ground and SOW the
seed at one operation and can be opcr-
ated ut a better speed than horse.
Thus, when plowing. it can cover from
six to seven acres Il day. and goes over
the field so as to leave it in final shape
for cultivation. When not in use H.
the field the motor can be used to drive
al farming machinery, and when
plowing the cost of fuel. labor and de-
preciation has been computed at 81
per acre. or less than one half the eX-
pense of plowing by horse Ii is inter
estlng to note that. the cost of the ma.
chine is about $500. an amount that
does not seem prohibtive for large
farm. where a thorough test of the
new machine could readily be made,
says Harper's Weekly. The automo-
bile, unlike the farm animal. does not
have TO be fed when it is not working
and it is mere thai a substantial ele-
ment of economy can probably 6e su-

Prnft In Gen.n.

That geese are profitable and should
be more generally kept there is no de-
nying. But great dea of the success
with them depends upon mana cement,
quality and location. First OF all. they
are grazing birds and must not be kent
in confinement, Indeed. grass and
range are most essential TO their wei.
fare 1t is also important that they
have access 10 stream or pond of
water, and If ii is where they can feed
on aquatic growth. so much the better.
Being very hardy fowls and indus.
irious in their line there is no question
but they will thrive under the right
conditions. The fact IS they need very
little special care and feeding If given
a fair range on low meadow or marshy
land. in connection with n stream of
