Richest County in Idaho.

Nez Pefee is the richest county IN
Idaho. This is shown by the state
ment completed yesterday by County
Auditor Lydon, which will be forward
ed to the state board of equalization
today. The statement shows the total
assessed valuation OF the county in
dependent of railroads, telegraph ana
telephone lines, to be $6,9O5,S91. Last
year the assessment on railroads and
telegraph was s363,5ol. This VIII De
increased somewhat this year, but
taking last years valuation as basis
for this year, it will be seen that the
total valuation of the county Is w.
26s.4S2. or an increase of s2,O24,735
over the assessment of last year
which was s5,244,757. The assessment
this year includes the territory OF
south Shoshone, recently annexed
which accounts roughly for an In
crease of s1,OOO,OoO in the valuation

Wonderful Carrying Power OF the
Hill Men of Tibet.
There are these famous weight car
riers, known to all travellers, the Swiss
mountain women, who walk up the
steepest slopes with pack baskets of
manure on their backs, and the porters
OF Constantinople, one Of whom will
hike a small piano on the curious sad.
die he wears. Perceval Landon, Lon
don Times correspondent in Tibet,
speaks of hill country carrying that is
most extraordinary.
On the Indian plains porters carry
eighty to hundred pounds, but hill
men when working by the job take
three times as much up frightfully bad
paths. II have myself seen man
carry into camp three telegraph poles
on his back" writes Mr.. Landon, each
weighing a trihe under ninety pounds.
Farther east the tea pOrters Of Sc
chuan are notorious, and loads of $50
pounds are not unknown. Setting
aside the story OF Bhutla lady who
carried piano on her head up from
the plains to Darjeeling as too well
known to be likely to be exact, the rec
ord seems to be held by a certain Chi
nese cody who undertook in his own
time to transport a certain casting,
needed for heavy machinery, inland to
Its owner. The casting weighed $40
pounds, and the carriage was slowly
but successfully accomplished.

CAMPHoR BYPRODUCTS.
How They Are Obtained From Ever!
Part of the Tree.

How They Are Obtained From Every
Part of the Tree.
Every part of camphor tree, even
to the leaves, contains camphor. The
forests are not confined to Formosa
alone, but are also found in Japan
proper. Camphor is found in the form
of crystals in the wood tissues and is
separated from the crude oil by double
distillation. From the first distillation
is secured an oxidized product, cam
phogenotol, the principle Of the cam
phor oils of commerce. The crude
camphor is a dark colored substance,
fusing at ITO degrees C.
Among the byproducts may be men
toned crude camphor oil, which comes
out simultaneously with the camphor;
white oil, obtained by sublimating the
crude oil and used in the manufacture
Of soap. Red oil also is obtained from
the crude camphor oil as well as black
oil, which Is extensively used In the
preparation Of varnishes. A turpentine
is secured from the white oil that is In
great demand for medical and indus
trial purposes. From red oil Is OBJ
tained the product known as saffrol,
employed to a considerable extent in
the manufacture of perfumery and
also soap, and a dislnfectant is also
distilled from red oil after the addi-
tion OF other substances claimed to kill
the cholera bacillus. Another product
Is an insecticide, which when mingled
with 100 parts Of water destroys In

FACTS ABOUT TIME.
How the Elusive Moments Have Been
Viewed by Many writers.

How the Elusive Moments Have been
Viewed by Many writers.
Time Is hard to define. According to
the best poets time has a heavy foot,
a tooth, forelock and breakable legs.
II travels in divers PAGES; II ambleS,
trots, gallops, runs, rolls and stands
still. II has whips; 1t crops roses. So
far II seems like horse. But 1t has
a forefnger; also reckless hand that
writes wrinkles. This eXplodes the
horse theory. Furthermore. time flies:
hence "a bird of a time" Time is mon
ey. Being also bird, time is n gold
eagle, perhaps. Money is the root of
all evil, and procrastination Is the thief
of time, Therefore procrastinatlon is
a. chicken thief, (2) good thing.
The wickedness of time is beyond
question. 1t is vindictlve. II wasted
time" mourns King Richard, "and now
doth time waste me-" Time waits for
no man. Time shall throw a dart at
thee. Time robs us of our joys. Time
will tell. Time is unthinklng. Time
presses its debtors. The time is out of
joint, and well may II be. considering
what a nuisance II is.
Time is sea. a sandy beach, a bank,
a shOal and an abysm. Also Il Is a
whlrligig, which seems odd when we
recall that time is quiet as a nun
Time is good, bad, high, fine, rough
hot, Christmas, spring. waltz, common
and lovely. Among good times may be
mentioned quitting time and dinner
time.-Newark News.

A BRAVE QUAKER LAD.

He wouldn't FiEht, but He PrOVed
He Was Not Afraid.
When the question of courage ls once
settled 1t hardly makes u difference
what kind 1t is, whether 1t is on the
battlefield or In the tent. In 1861, says
Llpp!ncott's Magazine, the great-grand'
son of a Quaker who had settled on an
island in Lake Champlaln was drafted.
"It will be no use," said the young
man. II shall never fight. My mother
taught me II is sin. II Is her religion,
and my fathers, and their fathers, I
shall never raise my hand to kill any
one"
The recruiting officer took no notice.
Wen see about that later" said he.
The regiment went to Washington.
and the Quaker boy drilled placidly
and shot straight.
But shall never fight" said he.
Word went out that there was a

what does this mean?" demanded
the officer Don't you know you will
be shot?'
The Quaker smiled little. He had
steady eyes and square chin.

The prisoner went back to the guard
house, and the colonel sought out Pres

"Why, that's plain enough" said the
president. There's only one thing tC

Presiding Circuit Judge Frazer last
Saturday evening granted a prelim-
mary order restraining the Mulmo-
nah Fair association from selling
pools on races at the Irvington track,
SAYS the Oregon Daily Journal.
Immediately the officials Of the
track announced that for one week
there would be no races. Within that
time the permanent injunction pro-
ceedings will be disposed of and the
Multnomah Fair association will know
its legal status toward pool-selling.
Judge Frazer considered the ques-
tion from its equity side only ana
granted the temporary injunction on
the ground that the terms of the lease
given by Mrs Elizabeth Ryan to the
association had been violated.
While the opinion was based on its
equity phase only, the court discussed
the moral aspect of the problem at
length and stated that the supreme
court decision in the cast Of the state
against NJ. G. Nease, charged with
committing a public nuisance by con-
ducting a poolroom. applied to race
track as we'll as to the sale OF pools
in a building situated in crowded
street in city. While the sale OF
pools will be stopped temporarily by
the ruling Of the court, the main ques-
ton has yet to be decided on the ar
gument as to making the injunction
permanent.
Judge Frazer declared that II evi-
dence had been introduced convinc-
ing him that the suit was merely a
quarrel between gamblers he would
have thrown it out of court and inti-
mated that such would be the proceed
ure of the trial proper, provided proof
were furnished that the action was
due TO motives of spite or revenge.

place until the $4,000 he had lost on
the previous day was restored. After
some hesitation the managers, seeing
that he was determined and finding
their employees unwilling to expose
themselves to the fire OF his revolver
