to erect the plant about ten miles

very latest style machinery, of 500

that its capacity can be easily in

To complete this important project
it is estimated from $40, 600 to $780,

thought the plant will be ready for
operation within eighteen months.

The report of the committee on ad-

committee, and was adopted.
Following is the report:
Weiser Idaho, March 15. '05.
To the Officers and Members of the
Weiser Commercial Club:
Gentlemen: Your committee ap-
pointed to devise a plan for advertis-
ing the resources and advantages of
this vicinity for the purpose OF
stimulating immigration, report as
follows:
/. 1t believes that Weiser should
issue an attractive pamphlet con-
tanning matter of interest to home
seekers and recommends that 5000 be
invested in such publication.
Q. That small advertisements be
inserted in a number of papers having
large circulation among farmers in
states from which we can expect to
secure settlers. During the ensuing
three or four months, while the Port
land fair is an attraction, we advise
spending 5000 in such advertising.
8. It recommends that a good
man be placed in Portland on the day
of opening of the Fair and kept there
for at least FIVE or six weeks for the
purpose of diverting homeseekers to
this point. $3.50 will cover this ex'
pense and thoroughly test the etfici
ency of the plan. If successful, ad'
ditional funds can then be raised tc
keen him there during the remainder
, OF the fair.
We have canvassed the situa
tIon sufficiently to be satisfied ina

Colonel Bradshavv.s Money.


Colonel Blythe while in Topeka told q
good poker story. A northerner got in
TO game with some southern gentle
men in Alabama. When it came time
TO quit he was way to the good. Colo
mel Bradshaw one of the southern gen
tlemen in the game, owed him $500 and
gave his check for the amount. The
northerner was ut the bank bright and
early the next morning and presented
the check. The cashier looked at il.
Jammed 1t down on the book. went to
the vault and got n stack OF bills, came
back, counted out $1,000, counted it over
again TO make sure and then showed il
through the window. The northermer
was delighted. He gathered it up, went
over to desk and started to count il.
AS soon as he looked at the first bill he
stopped with jerk and exclaimed to
the banker:
you have made a mistake"
"How so?" asked the cashier.
"Why, this is Confederate money"
said the northerner.
That's the only kind Colonel Brad
shaw has had In the bank since the

began to make little feints and springs
at the admirars legs.
"He as he talked held his cane i'm his

CHOICE MISCELLANY
CucIsoos' Eggs.

Mr.. Hart OF Christchurch, Hamp-
shire, who has made lifelong study
Of British birds, has in his fascinating
collection large number OF cuckoos'
eggs. each In the nest and with the
clutch In which they were deposited,
and IN almost every case the intrua-
er's egg Is an exact imitation OF the
rightfui eggs, only a size larger. Mr..
Hart Is convinced that the female
cuckoo inspects the eggs in the nest
she has chosen before laying her own
egg and that her retinal impression af-
fccts the coloration of the egg. In one
instance the cuckoo chose the nest Of
a small bird. the name OF which have
forgotten, whose nest was n closely
woven ball with n tiny hole for en-
trance. In this ease the alien egg was
pure white, the cuckoo being unable
to see into the bottom OF the nest ana
her mind on the subject being thcre
fore n blank The plumGge of the
adult cuckoo Is very much like that
of hawks. while the young are inaefl-
nitely speckled and blurred, the sup
posed reason being that no small bird
would dare to feed what 1t tool; to be
a young hawk in It's nest. SO the
cuckoo has still another charge Of
mean duplicity against it In addition
to the familiar ones.-London Outlook.

Fnnhionnhle Linen Colors.

Linen holds its own, especially in the
long coat suits, which are practical and
becoming. The plated skirts are pop
ular and pretty, but the circular skirt
with rows of very narrow stitched
bands around the bottom is growing
in favor on account of its greater dura-
biity. The favorite color is of course
white but gray, blue pink, mauve,

Flee
Japanese VaI0r and Endurance
Crowned with q Decisive
Victory

For ten days the Japanese and Rus
sian armies in Manchuria have been
engaged in mighty conflict, the issue
of which has not yet been reached. AL
though the most Of the news from the
scene Of the battle comes through
Russian sources and consequently may
be supposed to present the fadbs In as
favorable light as possible for the
Russian arms, it is evident that the
Japanese made some gains Tuesday.
st. Petersburg has an unomcial report
that General Kuropatkin's center has
been broken and that thirteen siege
guns have fallen into the hands Of the
Japanese. These guns, which are Of
six and eisht-inch caliber, were given
permanent emplacements on the line
Of the railroad north of .Shakhe sta
ton, the fact evidencing the conf
dence Of the Russians that the Japa-
nese could not penetrate thither.
In st. Petersburg 1t is generally be-
lieved that General Kuropatkin was
Tuesday fighting rear guard action
to cover his retreat, and that the night
will have witnessed a large withdraw
al of troops toward Tie pass. All of
the commander.in-chief's ability, it is
considered, will be required to extri-
cate his army from its present pre-
dleament. The issue. 1t is expected.
will soon be decided and great deal
unquestionably depends on the com
parative ability Of the opposing ar
mics to resist the effects OF hunger
and fatigue, the limit Of human en-
dqrsnce having. evidently. been nearly
fSaehed on both sides.
Beyond the statement that the CAS-
ualties exceeded those Of the battle Of
Liaoyang there is little known az to
the number killed or wounded.
