HENRY WAX is DEAD.
A Well Known Crangeville Merchant
Passes Away at Portland.

Passes Away at Portland.
A message received in Lewis
ton at a late hour last night an
nounced the death at Portland
of Henry Wax, the prominent
Grangeville merchant. Mr.. Wax,
accompanied by Mrs. Wax, was
enroute to Los Angeles to attend
the Woodmen convention as a
delegate, was compelled to stop
at Portland on account of Illness
due to a rupture. On Wednesday
a message reached here stating
that Mr.. Wax was quite i'll but
his friends throughout this re-
gion had no idea that his condi-
tion was so critical. The news
of his death will therefore be a
great shock to them.
Mr.. Wax for many years has
been prominent in the CONNER
cial life of Idaho county, and has
always occupied a conspicuous
position in all movements of pub
lie enterprise. He had been a
firm friend of every interest of
Grangeville and his demise will
come to the people of that COM
munity as a great af1iction. Only
a few days ago, when the people
of Idaho county united with those
of Lewiston and vicinity in the
effort to formulate plan that
will give the Camas prairie re-
gion a railroad, Mr.. Wax accom-
panied a large delegation of Idaho
county citizens here and worked
with remarkable energy in bring
ing about the success of the mass
meeting held. He was honored
| by the election as chairman and
remained in the city till the i'm
portant primary work was COM
pleted. He was then apparently
in robust health and his cheerful
demeanor was an inspiration to
his associates in the difficult work
in hand.
Mr.. Wax was a native of Cal
ifornia, being born in San Fran
cisco, August A, 1859. At the
age of nine years his parents re-
moved to Portland where he re-
manned for nine years. receiving
his education in that city. Mr..
Wax then went into eastern Ore
gon where he remained for two
years. He then removed to Walla
Walla and thence to Lewiston.
He resided here for some time.
In 1883 he went to Mt. Idaho
where he opened a general mer-
chandise store and in 1885 moved
his business to Grangeville where
| he has since made his home. He
; also for a period was interested
in a store at Cottonwood. He
has many times served as mayor
of Grangeville. In 1885 he was
married to Miss Hinda Binnard OF
Lewiston, who now survives him
with his son, Monte ]. Wax, who
} was summoned from Grangeville

WHAT GRIT DID.

The industry and economy of the
young man mentioned. by the South
ern Agriculturist, If backed by good
health and sound Judgment will bring
success almost anywhere:
1t Is fully demonstrated that where
there is will there is a way. A
newly married man went to Nebraska
several years since, and he exhibited
what determined man can accom-.
plish. We give his experience as n
lesson to the thousands of readers of
the Agriculturist. He says: "The
first winter l taught school seven
miles from home, walking fourteen
miles each day for four months. We
saved all our money to buy land and
pay for breaking until we had eight
acres ready for cultivation. We now
have 800 acres of land worth $50 pei
acre. with sixty head of fine cattle
six good horses. and fine herd OF
thoroughbred hogs, with plenty of ma.
chinery to carry on the farm. We
grew grain almost exclusively until
past five or six years, when l put In

like an ordinary bedroom and small
stove is provided to dress and un-
dress by in very cold weather, al
though its use is not encouraged.
One interesting feature is the names
on the tents, showing by what associa-
ton, organization or individual they
were given, for instance, New York,
Chicago, st. Louis, Boston, etc.
The foregoing is largely in general
terms. The reader wants an answer
to the main question: ITO what ex-
tent are persons affected with tubercu-
losis cured or benefited at the farm?
A careful record has been kept for
the past two years. 1t shows that
from May 21st, 1903, to April Both,
1905, there were 165 persons admitted
as residents at the farm, of whom 80
were still present on the farm at the
time of the report, leaving 13O to be
accounted for.

OF rs residents who worked on the
farm 65 were improved.
OF the ex-residents, SO far as heard
from. 81 have gained and 32 have lost.
OF the latter, 10 returned to the farm,
of whom 13 again gained and 2 lost.
For the information of those who
may desire to assist in furthering the
work, 1t may be stated that the most
pressing needs of the farm at the
present time are a heating plant and
hospital or infirmary.

was accommodating forty-three per-
sons, most of whom were absent from
their tents engaged in some kind of
occupation. The gathering at the din
ner tables in the dining room brought
most of them together-all very cheer
full and apparently possessed of ex-
cellent appetites.
The little community is a depart
ment of the Y. NJ. c. A. Every resi-
dent is member of the association.
Every two months the officers of the
department are elected by ballot. De-

Mr.. W. NJ Danner, secretary of the
Denver Y. NJ. c. A, to whose energy
and organizing ability the health farm
is chiefly indebted for its existence
and prosperity, in his address at its
second anniversary last spring said:
In a financial way the health farm
has passed the danger line. 1t always
costs more to establish any kind of

but none of the men have been re-

Through the generosity of friends and

to keep our heads above water. There
is a very sympathetic touch, and a

ON A RHINo HUNT.

sportsman gives an account in
English Country Life of his adven-
lures in German East Africa where
he found great deal of game. He
says; 1T is by no means as easy as one
would think to see rhlnos at any dis
tance, as they are generally the color
of the earth of that locality, as a re-
suit of the matutinal mud bath. Near
Baringo, most of them We're a brilliant
red, whilst in the German Nasal plains
they We're mostly of light gray
khaki, which made them almost in
visible. and. indeed, l got within forty
yards of two rhinos on one occasion
in the open without being able to dis
tinguish them from the ant-heaps
around. Many writer's consider that
when rhino charges. in many cases
he is merely rushing blindly in the di-
rection which he imagines to be the
least dangerous. feel sure this is not
the case, as | have invariably found
them make an exceedingly good shot
for the shooter, and believe that their
first impulse is to attack, but, losing
their heads. they rush madly along, and
ob -ih' Aiit every
ity of escaping them. We also noticed
that, whereas in the open a rhno
is more likely TO make off. in bush
he is almost certain to charge II sur
prised. and we attribute this to the
fact that he is unable to determine
the distance lie is from the danger,
and so takes the offensive. A lion, |
believe, will nearly always charge If
one surprises him at close quarters.
On one occasion l had TO dress a ma
tive's shoulder, from which large
scoop of flesh had been taken by lion
which he had come upon on the grass.
and which had sprung at him, given
him smack. and then rushed off. In
this connection it is worthy of notice
the lion seldom, If ever, uses his claws
when wounded, relying entirely on its
teeth; but when attacking a man,
either for food or in an impulse of self
defense, he invariably uses his claws,
after which, as in this case, he often
leaves his victim after knocking him
down with blow of his paw"

BOY PREVENTS TRAIN WRECK.

Only for the intelligence and bravery
of boy eight years old a northbound
passenger train on the Tyrone division
of the Pennsylvania Railroad would
have plunged into an open switch be-
tween Sand Ridge and Osceola, and
scores of the 12S passengers probably
would have been killed or injured. The
little hero was Wallace Moore, whose
home is near the railroad.
The boy was playing beside the
tracks when he noticed that the switch
was open. Long familiarity with the
movement of trains over the line
caused him TO realize that the passen-
ger train soon would arrive and that
it would plunge into the short siding
at full speed. After vainly trying TO
close the switch the little fellow ran
up the track i'll the direction whence
the train was approaching. Regard
less of his own safety and bent only
upon preventing the tragedy, he stood
in the middle of the track waving his
cap frantically and gesticulating
wildly.
The engineer sighted the youngster
when the train was far enough away
to stop 1t in time to prevent running
him down. In boyish phrase young
Moore told about the danger ahead,
and was lionized by the passengers
and train crew for his bravery.

ty-f1ve miles to the south, to beyond
Longs Peak, nearly an equal distance
to the north. Patches of snow are in
plain sight on the mountain crests
during the hottest days of July and
August, which, after all are never op-
pressively hot at the farm.
The farm comprises thirty-four
acres of land, worth at the market
price upwards of five hundred dol
lars an acre, about twenty-four acres
of which are covered with an orchard
of well-grown bearing fruit trees and
small fruits. the remaining ten acres
being devoted to gardening. 1t is
neatly kept and attractive, as every
visitor will testify. On the north side
is wind-break of tall thickly-set Lom-
bardy poplars and orchard and shade
trees break the force of the winds
from other directions. There is no
suggestion of barrenness to awaken
homesickness in the new conner.
To many, as to me, the small size
of the health farm is at first thought
a disappointment. What is a little
haven of thirty-four acres as COM
pared with the great ocean of disease
whose victims are spread abroad over
all the world? 1t is, indeed, but a
small beginning. But may we not
hope that it shall prove the leaven
that is to leaven the whole lump?
In another respect, l am sorry to
say, it must always break the word of
promise to the hope of many unfor-
tunates. Not only is 1t too small to
accommodate all who may wish to
come, but it is impossible for it to
furnish work for those whom it does
take sufficient to wholly provide for
their support. OF course the ideal
health farm would be one where ali
could come and make living by
farming while getting well. But such
a consummation can be only feebly
approximated through long years of
experiments. The best that can be
done at present, is to help as many as
possible to re-establish their health in
such degree as will enable them to do
farm work, or other work, on their
own responsibility. No general sys-
tenn of paternalism has SO far COM
mended itself to practical workers in
this line.
In spite of its limitations and its ex
perimental character, l have no hesi-
tation in pronouncing the Denver AS
sociation Health Farm a distinct and
hopeful success, deserving in a high
degree the generous support of the
public. 1t is, to large extent. doing
pioneer work and blazing track that
others may follow. Those who aid in
its establishment are not only helping
a worthy institution, but contributing
to great cause.

WOUNDED LION KILLED HIM.

The Indian mail to hand brings us
vivid and pathetic details of the death
of Major Carnegy during the lion
shooting exploit in the Cir forest dis
trict. The Major, of course. was the
political officer of the Viceroy. says the
London Pail Mall Gazette, and the ex-
pedition had been arranged by Lord
Iamington on the site of the lion hunt
prepared for Lord Curzon five years
ago, but never fulfilled. 1t is believed
there are sixty or seventy lions in the
Cir, and the Major. having spent the
last couple of years in the vicinity,
knew the Junagadh better than any
one.
On March 0 a tracker arrived who
had been attacked by lion while rid
ing into camp, and while he dropped
his weapons and escaped it was only
by abandoning his pony and seeing the
animal carried off.
The "shoot'' was divided into three
parties, with the Major in the second,
and it entered the jungle to a depth
of about ten miles. The Major and
his two friends, Mr.. du Boulay and
Captain Foljambe, selected n tree. each
ranging along a nullah, and the two
latter fired at a fine lion. wounding
him high in the right shoulder. The
Major also hit lioness. The natives
also fired their old-fashioned guns, and
it was thought safe to descend from
the trees for consultation and search
for the wounded quarry.
The lioness appeared and ran for
shlkari, but the Major fired and she
dropped for dead. Then there was
pause for drinks. and the party COM
menced TO follow the lions trail down
the nulah for a mile or so. Now and
then the men assembled trees 10 keep
lookout, and at last the party came
into a clearing. with waist-high grass
instead of trees.
Suddenly there was a roar and the

lion beat the Major down with blow

One OF the most interesting and
hopeful signs of the times" is the
work that is being done with a view
to the prevention and care of con-
sumption. Experiments in this direc-
ton in many parts of the world are
meeting with no small degree of sue
cess and their common foundation lies
principally in outdoor life, pure air
and a plain diet. The "open air cure
comes the nearest of anything yet in
vented to being panacle for tubercu-
lar diseases.
The Association Health Farm, or
ganized by the Y. M. c. A. of Denver,
has now been in operation for more
than two years and has, so far. fully
justified the hopes of its founders and
promoters.
When first heard of the Association
Health Farm, near Denver, the image
that arose in my mind was that of a
cluster of tents out on the treeless,
cactus covered plains. supplemented
by windmill or two and perhaps a
few twigs of trees transplanted from
some nearby nursery-plus, of course,

Having recently visited the health
farm, hasten to apologize for my
atrocious misconception.
If there is in Colorado, or anywhere
else, more beautiful plot of embow-

where TO look for it. The farm is sur
rounded by highly cultivated small
farms, orchards and gardens, border
ed by almost superabundance of
shade trees. Cactus covered desert,

1t is indeed on the plains, but they
are the rich, fertile lands that irriga-

The farm lies just outside the city
limits of Denver, between Denver and
Golden, about six miles from the post
office in Denver and eight miles from
Golden, which lies nestled in the near
est foothills, beyond which rise the
peaks of the snowy range. 1t is on the
edge of the uplands skirting the beau
tiful, highly cultivated Clear Creek
valley, which it overlooks. The view
from the farm embraces more than

GLASGOW, who was wrecked with you
on the steamship Missouri
In November, 1872. the Missouri
sailed from New York for Nassau,
Bahama Islands, carrying many pas
sengers and full crew Three days
out from New York and while in n
rough sea Off Cape Hatteras. cry of
fire was raised. In a few moments
there was panic. A rush was made
for the boats, and in lowering them
several were smashed. In a gale of
wind the ship was quickly enveloped
in flames.
Scores perished on board. while
others jumped into the sea and We're
drowned. Among the latter was L..
f. Cleveland, brother of former
President Cleveland.
Driven by the flames to the stern of
the snip, Mr.. Tunnelle eagerly scanned
the water for boat, and seeing one
pulling away plunged overheard. 1t
was the ships smallest boat, and the
ten men aboard were all 1t could COM
fortably hold. Mr.. Tunnelle. how
ever, swan TO its side. and Captain
Culmer, in charge, insisted that his
friend Mr.. Tunnelle be allowed to
climb aboard.
Rowing away from the burning ship
the men in the boat started off in the
direction in which they believed land
would be found. They had NJ com
pass, food or water. For six days
they struggled without seeing sail
or glimpse of land, and the ugly NUT
terlngs of the crew that one must
sacrifice his life that the others be
saved grew until i. was only by the
display of his revolver that Captain
Culmer kept them in check.
Open threats were made to kill the
negro, as his life was not valued as
highly as the others. When GLASGOW
heard these threats he became terror
stricken and begged for his l.te. Cap
tain Culmer had just decided they
would all die together before he would
allow any one to be slain when land
was sighted.
