A Number Of InvaIids.

Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Crete, ST., who
have been stopping in Boise for a fort
night or more, being treated by physi-
clans, are visiting their daughter, Mrs.
Moe, at Caldwell, this week, and will
return home soon.
E. H. Morgan, who was operated on
at Boise several months ago, for the
removal of iumor, which was found
by the surgeons to be attached to his
liver in such manner that it could be
on partially removed, and who was
given no encouragement by the sur
geons who performed the operation, is
surprising both them and his friends
by steadily improving ever since. He
is out on the street, taxing long walks
daily.
James Miller, over in Boise under
medical treatment, is improvicg very
slowly.
Matt McLain, who went to Hot Lake,
Ore, to have an attack of rheumatism
boiled out of him, and found that
resort did not improve him, is now in
Boise unker treatment and is improv
ing slowly.
M. n. Hanson end John R. McDon-
aid are invaliding in Boise, but are
neither of them seriously i'll.
Hon, and Mrs. Edward Nugent still
remain in Boise, he at St. Alphonsus
hospital and she SO near by that she
can visit him at all hours. The Judges
condition remains much the same since
he was taken to the hospital, except
that his feet are swelling more than
usual.

Ledge Of Salt.

The discovery of an immense ledge
of pure rock salt has been made in
Lincoln county, and large block of
the salt, almost as clear as glass, has
been placed on exhibition at the Los
Angeles office of the San Pedro rail
road. The discovery is mentioned in
the Los Angeles Express as follows:
"Reports reached the Salt Lake
office today that an immense ledge of
pure rock salt had been found in the
noun aims 80 miles from Moapa, New,
a station along the line. According to
the reports, the ledge is fifty feet in
width and is eight miles long. Its dep
tn has not been ascertained. 1t ap-
pears that the people living at Moapa
learned of this ledge from the indians,
and have been using the salt for years,
but kept the secret to themselves. A
large piece of rock salt has been
brought to Los Angeles. It is almost
as clear as glass and appears to be of
an extremely high grade"

Country Girls.

The cities are crowded with girls who
are trying to earn their living as stem
ographe-s, clerks, etc., but not all of
our girls are going to the cities, and
not all of them are teaching school or
making hats and dresses We have
many girls in the country villages and
on the farms, broad minded, intelligent
girls, girls who are up-to-date in some
thing besides fashion, and they are as
much in style with their dresses and
hats as the girls of the city. 1t is a
mistake, too, to believe that she runs
to extremes in her style and manner
any more han does city bred young
woman.
Many of US believe that the girl on
the farm is far behind in everything
the girl of the city, in all that goes to
make up modern life. But we find by
observation that ninety-nine of every
hundred girls in the country are in
telligent readers, and the homes are
well supplied with books, papers and
magazines. They are not only readers,
but are we'll informed on current
events. We know from experience
that no class of people are more inter
ested iu the subjects discussed in pa
per and magazine than the young peo-
pie who live in the co lntry.
If you will visit the universities You
will find the majority of the earnest
students are from the farms, and they
are studying for definite purpose and
with definite aim.
And we are mistaken, also, when we
think the young girls who remain on
the farm and do not go away to school
are not as intelligent as those who go
away to the city. The city does not
afford a greater opportunity of leading
usefu life than the farm with its
never ceasiug demands on brain and
muscle, on science and labor. Because
the young people on the farm are not
Frequently heard from, it does not of
necessity follow there is nothing favor
able to say.

Bruneau Affairs.

Attorney E. M. Wolfe, of Mountain
Home, and John Mitchell, of Bruneau,
administrator of the estate of Chris.
Baltzer, an incompetent person, were
in town Wednesday, doing business in
the probate court, securing an order
for the sale of real estate belonging to
Baltzer, consisting of three farms in
Bruneau valley and farm in Canyon
county.
Mr. Mitchell reports that the outlook
is favorable for work being vigorously
prosecuted on the Bruneau-L Little Val
ley irrigation enterprise. He says that
the eastern investors in that PROPOSE
tion have, twenty five of them, each
agreed to put up in cash S2500, thus
raising the sum of $4,000, with which
to continue the work; this sum ex-
pended assuring sufficient money, with
what they can then bond the properly,
for to complete the project and water
as fine body of land as there is in all
Idaho.

The ST. Patrick's Ball.

The St. Patrick ball given by the
Catholic ladies of Silver City was only
another delightful repetition of a ser
les of those happy occasions coming
up every year fer so long time that
memory scarcely runneth back to their
beginning. 1t was full ball room, a
crowded banquet hall, and an altogeth-
er and all round good time those Hi
berian ladies and gentlemen had Fur
ther than this, the receipts from the
ball and supper we're a gratifying sum
turned over to the ladies for use Of
their church. Mrs. McCabe, swho has
favored these occasions with graceful
Irish jig every year since War Eagle
was no bigger than an ant hill, was
there and did that jig with her custom
airy grace.
Saint Patrick's Day in the evening
always supplies Silver City with a very
pleasant entertainment.

A Tiny Baby.

A girl baby weighing only fourteen
and one half ounces and measuring
less than ten inches from the crown of
its head to its pink little toes, was born
at Jersey City, New Jersey, last week
It is said to be the tiniest baby ever
born. The child is perfectly proper
toned, hut doctors declare that her
size is a severe handicap in life. She
is perfectly healthy and physicians say
that she will probably live. The atom
of humanity weighs about rs much as
a loaf of bread, and is considerably
smaller. Her hands are scarcely more
than inch from wrist to finger tips, and
a dime would almost completely cover
one of her palms. Either arm is not
nearly as long as a lead pencil, and not
much thicker, and a knitting needle
rivals the thickness of her fingers.

Rumored Deal for Capital News.
A very we'll authenticated report has
reached here that party, made up of
anti Mormon political malcontents,
with ex-senator Thomas Kearns, an
Utah millionaire, Senator Dubois of
Idaho, aud their,scant following in Utah
and Idaho, have secured an option for
the purchase of the Boise Evening
Capital News, and that that, at present,
we'll conducted and enterprising news
paper, will soon go into the hands OF
the Philistines who we're so unsaccess-
full in their political campaigns in Ida
no and Utah last year.
1t is not reported yet whether that
apostate son of Mormon, Hyde Stalk
er, who campaigned with Dubois in
Idaho last year, or the Senator's pri
vate secretary, c. e. Arney, will be
made the managing editor, but in any
event it will be some one who will
make its pages reek with anti-Mormon
editorials, and do all it can to make
the people in the east think that Idaho
is cursed with domination of the
Mormon hierarchy, and an unfit local
ity for virtuous men and women tC
make their homes; and that its chief+s
effort will be too boost Dubois for re
election to the Senatorship.
Where Tom Kearns is to come in fol
any benefit III this enterprise excep
''r-ravinge" for the manner in which
Utah sat down upon his political as
pirations, remains to be seen.

soaked the note for Sl.50. He then

The irrigated district about North
Yakima, Washington, largely given
over to hop raising, is reputed to be
one of the most prosperous farming
sections in all the west, lands there
commanding prices ranging from $3.50
upwards. 1t is significant fact that
the Twin Falls irrigation settlements
are more largely made up of North
Yakima farmers than of those from
any other section. These well-to-do
farmers form better estimate of the
coming values of lands under the Twin
Falls canal system than others of less
experience are capable of doing, and
the fact of their focking to them is a
demonstration of their opinion.

The question of north and south
railroad through Idaho is one of the
most important in which the people of
the state are interested today, but is a
pleasure to note that they are becom-
ing thoroughly aroused in the matter.
In nearly every newspaper the question
is being discussed, and the legislature
has passed a resolution to amend the
cons tuition, whereby the state might
aid in the construction of the road.
numerous plans have been suggested.
but as yet none have assumed definite
shape. But one thing is sure, the peo-
Pile want the road and when the want
it bad enough they will find some way
to build it.--Idaho County Free Press.

GREAT SHOWING ON RAW
HIDE PROPERTY.
Big Ledge Runs $40 in Gold
Ore-A Great Year for the
District Anticipated.

AL Dean came in from Pixley Basin,
Wednesday, where he and Dick Nor
ton have been all winter working a
claim of their own, adjoining the well
known Blue Bird. He says they are
very we'll satisfied with the showing
they are making for good mine.
The Goodman brothers, on their
claim few miles farther down Castle
creek, are driving crosscut tunnel to
cut their vein at depth of about l30
feet.
Dan Santray and Bob Lowery have
been putting in the winter developing
claim at Black Butte, on the West fork
of Castle creek, near where some Nam
pa people took up claims last fall.
They are reported TO be developing a
ledge 81 feet in width, the lowest
assays from which show values of more
that $40.
Upon inquiry we heard that the
claim being worked by Santray and
Lowery is the Rawhide, belonging to
Santray, Evans, ct al, located by them
this year. Itis ledge near the juno
ton of the two branches of Castle
creek, near Black Butte, which is a
prominent landmark of that section.
The ledge shows above the ground and
is fully 81 feet wide. The ore is free
milling gold ore, and numbers of sam
pies taken across the ledge have been
assayed. none of them running less
than 500, and the average of all of them
being S24 The vein is SO situated that
it can be cut at considerable depth by
tnnnel, close to the creek, where there
is fine water power available for mill
ing it. Mr.. Evans says they propose to
sink hundred foot shaft on it as soon
as it is practicable to get supplies in
there. They have been saying nothing
about their find, awaiting further de-
velopments.
The feeling here is that this year will
make great showing for the new Cas-
tie creek mining district.

the sick and injured, and she was beloved
by multitudes who cared nothing for Chris
banity. OF the others, one was the wife
and another the daughter OF a physician.
Dr. c. e. Machle, and the other two, he
Rev. and Mrs. John Rogers Peale, were
new missionaries, who left this country
August 16 and had been in Lienchow only
few days. 1t therefore appears probable
that the attack was made by some mob
which had gathered for another purpose
and which gave lawless characters an OPP
portunity for plunder and bloodshed
ut should be added, however, that nearly
ALL the Chinese in the United States have
come from the province of kwangtung, IN
which Lienchow is situated, and reports
of their trea tment here have greatly ex
asperated many OF the people. The letters
of the missionaries, however, had not IN
dicated any interference with their work
or any disposition on the part of the peo-
pie to molest them.
I'm these circumstances 1t appears that
the attack was made by some among that
teeming population who did not personally
know of the character and work of the
missionaries"
A resolution favoring the admission or
Chinese of the better class to this country
on the same terms as now apply to trav-
elers from any other country was passed
yesterday by the New York Chamber or
Commerce Gustav III. Schwab introduced
the resolution, which asks that Congress
be urged to legislate in regard to Chinese
travellers. The Introduction to the resolu-
ton contains the following statement:
'@The treatment to which We have of re-
cent years subjected Chinese visitors, offi-
cials, students, merchants and teachers
has been such as justly to incense the
Chinese government and people.

learning the technical part of the mechan-

pose of securing a more efficient corps of
nothing has been said on the subject as yet,
Ii the school Is a success 1t will probably
require students who accept of it's privileges
to pledge themselves to enter the service Of
that road for certain time. The Southern
Pacific naturally has no interest in educat-
Ing machinists and locomotive drivers for
other railroads.
The foundations of the buildings at Sparks
were laid in August, and they will be COM
pleted some time during the winter. They
consist of a dormitory, class rooms and a
model machine shop, where the student will
receive practical instruction from the fore
men and the most skillful employees of the
repair shops and other branches Of the
power department. The only expenses of
the students are for their board and cloth

5000 miles of trackage, had only two pas
sengers killed and forty injured. Belgium
has the best record in Europe With 2S43
miles of railways and 14OOO0,O0O passen-
gers carried, there were only six passengers
killed and 1853 injured. Austria, with 12,U3S
miles of railways and 1853, ,5SOGO0 passen-
gers, had only eleven killed. Germany and
France stand on par. The United King
dom has a rather bad record for people
killed and injured In 1903; much higher
than her usual average; but, although her
railways carried G6 per cent more passen-
gers than those of the United States and
Canada combined, her casualties We're only
about one-fourth as large. 1t is said that
during one year not long ago no passenger

CHINESE ENVOY ARRIVED.
Comes to Study Our Constitution to
Modernize China.

Yu Chuan Chang, member of the Chi
nese commission which is to draft a consti-
tuition for the Chinese empire, arrived on
the steamer Graf Waldersee from Hamburg
at New York yesterday. He is a secretary
OF the branch of this commission which will
study the constitution of the United States.
Prince Tasai Tsche Is the head Of this sec
ton of the constitutional commission. Other
sections will investigate simultaneously the
constitutions of foreign countries. Yu Chuan
said:
when these special ambassadors have
finished their work and submitted the draft
of the constitution for China to the empe-
ror China will step out Of the ranks Of abb
solute monarchies and enter that of the
constitutional empires"
''The Chinese constitution will embrace all
of the best features of the constitutions OF
america, Japan, Great Britain, France Ger
many and Austria. The travels of the spe-
cial embassy will be ended in about eight
months, after which the ENJOYS Will draw
up a constitution"
Mr. Chang added that this departure from
ancient usages was due to the gradual
spread of japanese influences over the en-
pire since the Japanese-Russian war. He
said that Japan had urged China to mod
ernize her laws and government, and thus
form a strong alliance of the yellow races
In the far east.
