OF his mother was learned, and she be-
ing notified of his demise, his friends
wired to have him given christian
burial here and draw ON them for the
cost. He was buried from Lower Ma.
sonic hall Monday. Only five dollars
was found in his effects, but as an evi-
dence that he was the right kind of a
boy, money order stub was with it,
showing that he had recently sent his
mother money.
The poet who gets an inspiration to
sing about the charms of May flowers,
sunshine and such, does not live up in
the Owyhee mountains. Here is the
kind of weather diary he would have
had to keep this year had he been one
of as: Monday an hour sunshine
in the morning; remainder of the day
it showed. Tuesday same as yester-
day, barring the morning sunshine.
Wednesday more wet snow Thurs
day-same as yesterday. Today cool
and cloudy with some snow. How
would the children look were they out
browning May queen in this sort of
weather?
The miners union of Silver City will
celebrate the second anniversary of the
establishment Of the eight hour system
in the mines and mills IN Owyhee
county, on the 10Th instant More than
three years ago the Del.amar mines
management adopted an eight hour
rule, but it did not become the general
rule throughout the county until The
Trade Dollar Con. Company put it in
full force May 10, 1903. 1T has given
such general satisfaction to both em
ployers and men since that date that it
will remain the rule here from this
time on. The time will come when the
mine managers in Shoshone county
will also approve Of it, despite the fight
they put up against it at each session
of the legislature.
Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Steele, Misses
Laughlin, Keenan, and Glover, made up
party visiting Jordan Valley, last Fri
day, enjoying ball given in the even

ports the valley very lively now. the
village being full of wool growers, cat
tie and horsemen, all seemingly pros
erous and happy. Sheep shearers are
there in multitude, stripping the
fieeces from the bands. All the stock
has wintered we'll, with small losses,
and wool is commanding top prices.

enjoying good patronage. The two
big stores in the place are having an
immense trade and money is plentiful.
Mrs. Jake Schaas came back with the
party and is now the guest of Mrs.

baby boy, will take their leave for their
former nome IN oregon. Mr. Dwight
has held his position for the past two
years and will leave it with the regret
of his employers and the patrons of

actly the same number with those who

near Union, Oregon, and wishes his son
to join him in some other business uI-
