Another EXPLANATION.

{. Ellsworth Is in receipt of a letter
respecting the articles recently found
IN the mountains in the vicinity of
Chamberlain basin. 1t is from Will
liam Morton, principal of the Spring
dale. Wash, schools. He says he
thinks an incident of which he had
knowledge may explain the presence
of the articles in that lonely place.
He says he and A. o. Olmstead were
camped near the Ramey river trail.
An outfit consisting of two men and
three women started over that trail for
Dixie. A snowstorm came I'D and
they lost some of their pack horses.
one of the men came to the writer's
camp, inquiring If the horses had been
seen. He explained there were many
goods on the lost animals These in
cluded cigars, champagne. rifle and
valise belonging to one of the women.
He adds that it was common gossip
that a well known prospector found
the outfit, took what he wanted and
cached the remainder.
Mr.. Ellsworth states no pack horse
would have gone to the spot unless he
had been taken there, and that no one
man would have gone up there to
make cache. Moreover, no man
would have omitted opening the valise
had he been plundering the outfit

Fools All the nnctnrn

There is hale and hearty looking
old chap walking about town." remark
ell New York physician lately, who
for years has had complication of dis
eases which make him most interesting
TO the profession. The ailments Of
which he shows undeniable symptoms
are rarely seen in combination. and the
state of his inner workings is a matter
for speculation among the doctors who
have examined him.
The old fellow himself loves to tell
that when he first asked medical ad-
vice some twenty years ago the pAy-
siclan, famous practitioner in those
days, wrote across the diagnosis he had
put down on paper: This man cannot
live thirty days. | should like to be
present at the autopsy That great
doctor has been dead these many years.
and the dying patient still smiles cheer
fully and seeks cure for his malady.
Queer, isn't it?"-New York Press.

Crockett and the MuIe,

When Davy Crockett sat in the ma
uonal legislature as a representative of
the state of Texas he had many clashes
with men of more education, but less
wit, than himself. 1t is told Of him
that one day while standing in front
of his hotel on Pennsylvania avenue a
swarm of mules trOtted by under the
custody of an overseer from one of the
stock farms in Virginia. A congress
man from Boston, who was standing
near by. attracted Crockett's attention
to the unusual sight, saying:
Hello there. Crockett. Here's lot
Of your constituents on parade. Where
are they going?"
The celebrated hunter looked at the
animals with a qulzzical glance, and
then, turning to the other, said quietly.

The Kitchen In China.

I'm China everything seems to us to
go by contrary, and the front part of
the house is devoted to the Kitchen"
says a missionary. Upon entering the
house at the front door one is intro
duced into the culinary department
and so important an adjunct to a
household is the kitchen that the popu-
lation Of towns and cities throughout
the empire is reckoned by the number
OF kitchens within the walls. Brick
chimneys in China are a thing unheard
of, and the smoke from the fire is al
lowed to roll lazlly along the ceiling
out into the court or through an aper-
ture made in the roof. The kitchen fire
is usually built in mud stove. for
any other kind of stove is unheard

hain Has Caused Immense Loss TO
Falmers-Tops of Stacks Have
Sprouted and Many Thousands of
Acres Still Standing in the Field,
Uncut.

When the weather is permissible
threshers in the northern part of Wal
Ia Walla county are running night and
Gay IN an endeavor to save all the
grain possible. For time il was
thought that a good percentage OF the
grain in that vicinity would be a total
loss. but as soon as the rain stopped
work was commenced.
1t is estimated that from tyyo to
three hundred bushels in each stack
are lost by the reason that the grain
IN the top of the stacks sprouted and
TINS part has to be thrown awav
when the grain was stacked this faI,
considerable care was taken to build
Ine stacks right and to this reason is
assigned the fact that a lot more of
the grain is not total loss.
Farmers near Colfax have lost all
hopes OF saving the thousands of acres
OF wheat still unthreshed in that vi
cinity' The threshing machines have
All pulled in for the winter, and will
make no effort to save the grain re-
naming.
The loss to Whitman county is es-
umated to be from a quarter to n
hait million dollars. In Whitman
county and Latah county, Idaho. there
IS estimated to be nearly million
bushels of wheat unthreshed.
The most remarkable feature about
this failure is that most of the farmers
VINO lost by the storm were those who
own their own threshing machines
and who. instead of seeing that their
own crops were safely housed. de-
voted their time to threshing for their
neighbors. One farmer ran his ma
chine 81 days and now has 200 acres
of wheat a total loss.
Many of the farmers are buyine
stock hogs to feed the spoiled grain TO
and hope to make some money out of
the damaged wheat in this way.
others will feed large bands of sheen
during the winter and prepare them
for coast markets.
1t is thought that next year those
VINO own threshing machines will fin
ism their own grain early in the sea-
son and then attend 10 their neiah-
bors'.
