A BIG SUBSCRIPTION.
J. c. Doss $4,000 Cash for
Electric Road Stock.

The largest individual subscrip-
tion that has been made for the
Electric road stock was made
last week by ]. G. Doss, he paying
$4,000 cash for promotion stock.
Mr.. Doss had previously subscrib-
ed one thousand dollars but when
he considered the advantage of
this great enterprise. he became
convinced that he would not only
sdvsnce the project but place his
money where it would bring the
most lucrative returns. In the pre-
vious subscriptions reported many
reach $500 for which the donors
receive but that amount of stock,
whereas the cash paid by Mr.. Doss
entities him to $1,000 worth of
shares exceeding the two year pol
icy by one thousand dollars. 1t
was predicted some time ago that
the electric road stock would be
out Of reach Of all those who did
not take advantage at the time and
get stock inclnded in the FIVE hum
dred thousand to be raised and
even now with shares at $3.50 II
10 difficult to get stock that two
months $50 could have been
bought for $500 per share.

BIG WATER SPOUT.
Hundreds of Tons OF Debris
Block Road Along Sal
mon River.


mon River.
One of the worst water spouts
that ever occurred in the. country
was encountered last week between
Roberts and Longs gulch, near
White Bird. The stage enroute
with the mail was caught in the
midst Of the down pour and the
drivers were compelled TO abandon
the vehicles, secure what sacks Of
mail they could, and walk to the
nearest place Of refuge. The tor
rent extended distance Of five
miles along the canyon and in
some places washed out great mas
ses Of earth thirty feet long and
ten feet deep. Dan Bell, who
drives the White Bird stage arriv-
ed in this city Saturday bringing
the mail through on q pack horse.
He says it will be couple Of weeks
any way before a team and wagon
can make the trip over the road.
This is equal to the washout we
had eight years ago with the excep-
tion that no one was injured and
less property damaged, owing to
the great volume Of water being
confined to the canyon.
The storm was not general on
that day ss this city was only Wis
tied by light shower in the FORE
noon. 50

RUSSIAN NAVY DEFEATED
Only Two Vessels Escape the
Fire of ToRo's Guns.

TIT0 VI iO8O 0OUS.
The overwhelming victory Of
Admiral Togo's fleet over the Rus
slams, commanded by Admiral Ro-
jestvensky, has marked an epoch
in history that is unsurpassed for
generalship and strategy. Togo,
with . few scout ships, led the
Russian commander to believe he
had established his base Of supplies
at the Pescadores islands, many
miles south Of Nagasaki, and then
induced the enemy to sail for
the Corean straits and directly into
the midst of the Japanese fleet,
with the result that Togo has sunk
or captured the entire combined
Russian fleet with the exception of
four vessels, two Of which have
reached Vladivostock, and the
whereabouts Of the others have
not been reported. Admiral Ne
begaloff was taken prisoner during
the first attack, and after the great
battle was over the Japs picked up
the unfortunate Rojestvensky drift
ing about in a small boat.
This places Togo master Of the
seas, and with the undefeated Japs
still winning laurels on land, it is
believed some decisive steps will be
taken to bring about termination
to this fearful loss of life.

LODGE INSTITUTED
|. @. O. F. Starts at Lowe With
Over 40 Members.

A large delegation Of Odd Fellows
went to Lowe last Saturday to as.
sist in instituting . lodge at that
place. Members of the order from
all Of the surrounding town were
present to aid in giving the new
lodge . good start and the occasion
will long be remembered by both
host and visitors. The building in
which the ceremonies took place
was crowed to it's utmost capacity
and the floor work was conducted
with difficulty. What they lacked
in room was made up in fraternal
good will and the splendid
reception given the visitors amply
repaid them for the long journey.
The new lodge was christened
Lowe 115 and starts off with over
forty active members. The officers

NEARLY READY
FOR WORK
ELECTRIC ROAD GOING AHEAD
Money Raised and Everything
Ready for Letting Contract.

The construction of the steam road
from Lewiston to Grangeville will
be commenced in the near fu ture.
This 10 . fact vouched for by the
best Of authority. The reason the
Northern Pacific has delayed on
the Prairie line is that they have
not, until recently, procured . suit
able route over the mountainous
country. With the arrival today
Of Chief Engineer G.. w. Boschke,
Of the o. R. & n, G. E. Pollard,
and Chief Engineer Pearson OF the
Northern Pacific, comes the assur-
ance that depot grounds have been
purchased 1T Westlake, and the
road will take q route via. Waha
over the mountain and across the
prairie to Grangeville. When this
report 10 sent to the managing de-
partment, the construction will be-
gin a. soon a. contracting arrange
ments can be made. The work OF
construction has already begun on
the Lewiston and Riparia line and
is only . matter OF . few deys un-
til it will begin On this end Of the
road. The grading on the Electric
road is still continued by contrac-
tors Naylor' & Norland, and the
managing department will let the
contract for the entire line soon
as the city of Lewiston has granted
the franchise for the road to oper-
ate within city limits which is the
most important portion of the en-
tire line. With -undoubtable infor-
nation we can see no possible way
to prevent US from road within
year. The subscriptions received
by Sec. G. NJ. Reed for the Grang-
vile and Denver district have
reached S1O3, $50 which is more
than was asked to be raised by
them. Mr.. Reed says " we will if
needed, raise mere which will be
applied ON the list at NezPerce or
Cottonwood. But I have no doubt
that those cities will do as we have
done and exceed the proportion al
lotted Them" When . call is made
to the citizens Of Camas Prairie,
they investigate the cause and If
found worthy, answer it and NO
questions are asked.

Liquid that Defles Time.

The Hungarian chemist Brunn says
lie has discovered Il liquid chemical
compound which renders certain kinds
of matter proof against the effects Of
time. He asserts that 1t doubles the
density of nearly every kind of stone
and renders it waterproof. 1t imparts
to all metals qualities which defy oXy-
of hitherto unequaled powers. The
professor says that while travelling in
Greece some twenty five years ago he
noticed that the mortar in stones and
ruins which were known TO be over
1000 years old. was us hard. fresh and
tenacious as If it had been made only
a yer. He secured a piece of the NOR
tar and has been working on it ever
since until now, when. he says, he has
discovered the secret.
The compound is Il yellow liquid
which, the professor has christened
zorene. He describes the following eX-
periments: a piece of ordinary and
easily brcakable Stag after immersion
in zorene defied the full blow of 4
hammer. There was the same effect
on ordinary bricks ard II block of rel
jarrah wood. All three were then im-
mersed in water for Il long time. When
taken out and weighed with delicate
scales the presence of single particle
of added moisture could not be de-
tected. Two pieces of steel submitted
| to an ammonia test equal to five years
exposure to the air emerged from the
| bath as they entered it,
An ordinary table knife which had
| lain open five months did not show the
| slightest stain. Professor Brunn as
serts that he will be able to make roads
dust, germ and waterproof, thus Civ
| ing a commercial value to hundreds
Of millions of tons of Stag which is now
useless in the mining and smelling
districts. His discovery will at the
very least, he says, double the life of
metals exposed to the air, such as in
bridges, railroads. vessels aid tanks.

Ferti!izing the Garden.

There is 10 better way to fertilize
the garden than to haul fresh manure
from the stables and spread over the
surface during the winter. Contrary
to the common belief, there Is never a
time when manure Is so rich In plant
food as the day it Is made and the
sooner after that it can be got to the
place where it is to be used, the more
value it will add to the soil. 1t is al
most impossible to put too much ma
nure on Il garden. We would not hest
tate to put it a foot thick on the sur
face. for it will leach only SO much
more plantfood into the soil. and by
blowing time next spring will be set
tied down until it can easily be plowed
under to furnish humus for the better
ment of the physical condition Of the
soil. Wood ashes makes an excellent
fertilizer for the garden. but it should
be saved and applied on top Of the
soil after it is plOwed in the spring, as
potash is one of the plant-foods that
may be washed too deeply into the
soil to be reached by the roots Of gar
den plants, many of which are shall
low rooted.

the old blue stocking, familiar to him

ing it. he took the box in his arms and
returned to the cabin.
Placing the precious burden upon the
table. he sat beside the bed. calmly
aVaiting the time when his patient

gloomy meditation. Two years of his
life had been blasted by the thieving,
helpless wretch now lost in slumber At
last the sleeper awoke. Looking at Jo-
seph, he feebly pointed to the box upon
the table. The young man placed it on
the bed beside him. Painfully raising
himself upon his elbow he opened it and
handed him tho blue yarn stocking his
mother had knitted with one foot on his
cradle.
The sick man deliberately counted out
two hundred dollars. and restored them
to the stocking then, with nervous haste,
added another fifty fecbly murmuring
