Good Copper Ore.

M. I. Meeker is showing an excellent
sample of copper ore from the claims at
Enoch valley and which are being
worked by Fl. S. Woolley. It was en-
countered while running four hundred
foot tunnel and is very rich. The place
from which it was obtained. however,
is not the main vein but feeder, and
something still better is expected when
the main vein is cut, which will be ut a
considerable depth. The work on these
claims is showing up very nicely and
some good results are expected from
them.
Mr.. Meeker says he has been able to
burn copper out of the sample with
bow pipe. but as no assays have been
made its true worth is not known
Preparations are being made to work
the claims all winter with good force
of miners and it is very likely several
car loads OF fine ore will be ready fol
shipment in the early spring. Soda

LAUGH TURNED ON SURGEON.
His Effort to Impress Students Was a
Distinct Failure.

A famous German surgeon, POM
pous man, who loved to impress his
patients and students with his impor-
lance. was lecturing to his students
one day when a workingman entered
the room. The surgeon stopped him
by a gesture and ordered his class
to look at him. Nov, Mr.. X" he said
to one of the students, what Is the
matter with this man? From here
you should be able to make a correct
diagnosis simply by locking at the
mans face, his bearing and the con-
tour of his head" Mr.. Y, Mr.. and
Mr.. Y having failed to make any d.
agnosis whatsoever, the professor trt-
umphantly declared: you ought to
see at the first glance that the man
is deaf and dumb" He forgot to men,
ton that he himself had frequently
seen the patient. Then the patient
spoke up: mo, your excellency, 1t
is my brother who is deaf and dumb.
But he looks very much like me-"

Conditions at Blackfoot Asylum.

Register Mcconnell of the state land
board, was in Fremont and Bingham
counties last week selecting land for
the state. While at Blackfoot he visited ,
the insane asylum and in telling OF the
conditions as he found them at that
institution. the Capital News quotes
Mr.. Mcconnell as follows:
II was greatly surprised to see the
splendid condition the institution is in.
DR.. Hoover has made wonderful sue
cess of his work during the short time
he has been there, not only about the
institution, but on the farm connected
with it. | never saw as fine vegetables
of all kinds anywhere, and especially
the crop of Icabbage, which Iare OF the
premium variety. / saw 80 sacks OF
dried apples ready for storage, and other
fruits in proportions, preserved for
winter use.
THE farm consists of about 5000
acres. all with water rights, some 400
or 500 acres being under cultivation at
acres we put under cultivation, with
the present management continued, l
believe the institution would be practi-
cally self-sustaining.
mot only has the doctor proved him
self to be successful farmer. but in
side the institution his good Judgment
is everywhere apparent. The patients
seem to be very fond Of him, and show
him great deal of attention whenever
he is in their presence. The hospital is
quiet and the best of order prevails. 1t
was difficult to realize that was in a
home for crazy folks. Mrs Hoover is of
much assistance to her husband, and
takes great interest in the work, and
the matron, Miss Cameron, has every
qualification for the position she SO ex.
cellently fills. She came highly recon-
mended from tine Wyoming institution
at Evanston, and had previous exper
fence in South Dakota.
'sThe institution is much in need O
repair and improvement. They are re
painting the woodwork inside, and re
placing plastering that has fallen off
: and generally making all the better
, ments that the money available will ad
nit. but the institution is deserving 0
q liberal appropriation for improve
o ments, that another legislative session
/. will no doubt make, after the commit
tees have made their visit.

A Deserted Wife's Rights.

The construction of what constitutes
deserted wife, and her rights as such
to make homestead entry, are the
points involved in an opinion received
from Washington the other day, In
which acting Secretary Ryan affirms
the decision of the commissioner OF the
general land Office.
The case is that of Chas E. Edwards
VS.. Fannie E. Baker, and involves l6O
acres of land near Salubria, Washing
ton county, Mrs. Baker and her hus-
band bought the improvements on the
land in question and the family had
lived there some time before it was sur
veyed. April 70, 1901, Baker made an
application to file on the land, but was
refused for the reason that he had used
his homestead right. He went home IN
an intoxicated condition and told his
family that he was going to leave them,
which he did. On May 8, following,
Mrs. Baker entered the land as home
stead, alleging that she was deserted
wife, and as such entitled to take the
land.
October 8, 1903 Edwards filed con-
test, alleging that she was not an
abandoned wife, was not divorced, and
that the marital relations existed be-
tween her and her husband at the time
the fling was made and that she was

After the hearing, the local office held
that the entry was fraudulent from It's
inception, and recommended that it be
cancelled.
Mrs. Baker appealed to the commits
sioner, who was very charitable in his
view of the case. reversing the decision
of the Boise Office, and dismissing the
contest Edwards then appealed to the
secretary who affirms the commissioner
rulings and confirms the widow 8
right to the land. In discussing the
case the secretary says:
s.While there are some circumstance
connected with the case, and SET FORT
in the decision, tending TO show tina
Baker had not entirely abandoned hi
family at the time the entry was made
the testimony shows that tue status
Mrs Baker, at that time, was that OF

resources for support, and entitled I

HAS "A GOOD RECORD.
Conrad shearer is Well Qualified for
County Superintendent. n

Conrad Shearer, whose name ap-
pears on the election ballot as can
didate for county superintendent Of
schools, was born in the township OF
Somers in 1874. He received his early
education in the district schools OF
the county, entering the High school
in Kenosha in January, 1891. Count
ing several months of absence during
his High school period, he completed
the full four year course in less than
three years, carrying off the honors Of
class sa1utatorian in the graduating
exercises Of June, 1895.
In September, 1895, Mr.. Shearer
commenced his duties as teacher il
District No. 2, Somers, where he
taught very successfully for nearly
five years. During this time he took
an active interest in the County
Teachers association and was presi-
dent of that organization for two
years. At the conclusion Of his work
in the county he held a first grade
certificate, the highest granted by the
county uperintendent.
Mr.. Shearer had charge of the En-
g1ish department in the College OF
Commerce for year, and of his work
as teacher Prof. Trenary speaks in
the highest terms.
DESTROYS of advancing in his chosen
profession, he entered the State
Normal school at Milwaukee in the
winter of 1908. AS a student at the
Normal, Mr.. Shearer's record speaks
for itself. He completed the full
course in less than two years; was
president of the graduation class OF
1904, and leader of the victorious Mil
waukee team that won the unanimous
decision against the Oshkosh Normal
in last seasons inter-norma1 debates.
If testimonials concerning his past
work were necessary in order to place
his record before the county electors,
Mr.. Shearer certainly has the best.
Among these are strong letters of en-
dorsement from ex-Principa1s Francis
Cleary and E. G. Wiswa11, Mrs. Mary
D. Bradford, Supervisor of Practice
in the Stevens Point Normal school,
Frank A. Runa1s, clerk of the district
board, and the late ex-County Super
