A Camera Ffeud.

A well known criminal lawyer one
day sauntered into police court just
as a case was called. 1t appeared that
the defendant had no attorney, and the
judge glanced about the room to see
whom he might assign to the case.
'Tll take It, judge" the late conner
said, wishing to pass away the time.
"By the way, what is the man
charged with?" the attorney presently
asked.
Hes a camera fiend of the worst
sort, Mr.. Browp," the judge said, with
a slight smile. II expect to send him
to the workhouse for about three
MONTHS
"What?" the lawyer shouted indig-
nantly. Your honor must be joking.
Send a man to the rock pile for three
months for a little harmless amuse-
ment like taking pictures?"
Well" the judge said mildly, "he
doesn't take pictures much-it's the
cameras he takes" New York Times.

A Wonderful Escape.

Fieschi tried to assassinate King
Louis Philippe of France in July, 1885.
The king was riding along the lines of
the national guard in the Boulevard du
Temple. There came a crash and a
rush of bullets. Louis Philippes arm
was grazed, his horse was shot in the
neck, Marshal Mortier fell dead and
about thirteen other people We're killed
and thirty wounded. Fieschi had taken
the upper floors of a house several
weeks before and there rugged up an
oaken frame four feet by three feet six
inches, supported on four posts of oak
and itself supporting twenty-five gun
barrels fixed in grooves at various
angles so as to command an area of
twenty-five feet in length and ten feet
in height When he fired the train of
powder that let off his battery the king
would have been killed if four barrels
had not burst and two missed fire.

Peanut Trace -yeersts.

Some peanuts that are bought ready
roasted are Of a light yellow colsr.
Others, however. are pronounced bru-
j nettes, There Is reason for this.
The great American peanut will re-
main crisp only a day sor two after
roasting and in damp weather only a
few hours. 1t absorbs moisture rap
IDLY, so that two days after roasting
the finest nuts lose their crispness and
are to all intents and purposes as
though they had never been cooked.
The italian and Greek peanut men
freshen up their stocks by roasting
again and reroasting. When the proc
ess has been repeated three or four
times, though, the peanut begins to
take on tawny hue, which is consid-
cred Objectionable by those who have
stands in the better parts of town.
These much roasted goobers are there
fore sold at discount to Greeks and
Italians who have stands near railroad
stations and the cheaper resorts, who
can roast, reroast and re-reroast them
indefinitely until they are finally sold.

Ancient Locks.

Locks wGe used in the time Of the
pharaohs. At Karnak the visitor is
shown the sculptured representation of
a lock which is almost exactly like one
kind of lock used in Egypt at the pres
ent day. Homer says that Penelope
used brass key to open her wardrobe
He adds that it was very crooked and
had an ivory handle. A Greek writer
who lived in the last half of the twelfth
century explains that such keys were
undoubtedly very ancient, although
still to be seen in Constantinople and
elsewhere. Roman locks, like the Egyp-
tian, required partial sliding of the
key. They were, however, more intri-
cato

OF Darwin it is affirmed that he
seemed unaware of the difference in
the value of books and would treat a
Zaehnsdorf binding with the same
scant courtesy that he exercised to-
ward a penny pamphlet. Covers ap-
peared to him a useless weight and de-
cidedly in the way, and be often got
rid of them by ripping them off. Some
times the book was borrowed. 1t is
said that in the end his friends used
to give him any book which he wished
to borrow, for they knew that If it
were ever returned, its usefulness as a
book would be at an end.

NEVADA SHEEP ARE sCABBY.

Makes Public Statement.

Mikes BuDllc statement.
All sheep leaving the state Of Ne
vada must be dipped before crossing
the line. owing to the prevalence Of
scahbies IN that state. says the salt
Lake Herald. The action Of the
United States department. Of Ggricul-
ture dealing with the matter, e. ex-
llained in an open letter by George
l. HicIox. local agent in cha e, cs
follows:
This office desires at this '- to
anr unce that in the st2t. O. ada,
especially in the no.the~ A1 por-
tion. the reports OF our .npectors
show an alarming pre-. .-nce of scah
among the sheep; these reports in
dicate that in Elko county more than
75 per cent If the sheep are infected,
and a heavy percentage of infection
exists throughout the state.
From this it Is obvious that all
other sheep in Nevada are in con-
stant state of exposure; this condition
of affairs has made it necessary, dur
ing the past three months, that all
sheep moving from the state, for any
purpose whatever, be dipped before
crossing the line.
THE sheep in Utah and Idaho at
the present time are in a most satis-
factory condition, as regards the
prevalence of scabies, there being al
most none in either state; therefore
in conformity with the regulations OF
the secretary of agriculture, for the
protection Of the sheep owners in gen.
eral, and to the end that the work
already accomplished shall not have
been in vain, l deem It necessary al
this time TO announce that all sheer
coming from the winter ranges in Ne
vada into the above mentioned states
in the spring. must dip, once IL ex
posed and twice II infected, under
the supervision Of a federal inspector
at the state line or not more than II
days after crossing said line.
This announcement is made at thii
time that flockmasters who contem
plate ranging in Nevada may make
their arrangements accordingly"

Have a Deanlte Aim,

No life amounts to much until it
has a something definite,
something particular. Nothing else can
take the place Of 1t. Education can
not, talent cannot, genius cannot, hard
work cannot. Until there is definite
aim the energies will run to waste, the
ability be squandered. The faculties
deteriorate when working without a
definite aim.

Echo, Dec. 4.-The reclamation
service is establishing a large camp a
the main reservoir dam site. eight
miles north of Echo. and will build
the immense dam at THIS point by
force account. Bids for the construc-
ton OF this dam were advertised two
different times and all bids rejected
each time, as the engineers considered
them excessive.
This dam is in what is known as
Cold Spring canyon. 1t will be some
500 feet long on the bottom, 1000 feet
along the top and 400 feet thick in
the widest part. There will be 81
feet OF water at the dam when the
reservoir is filled with water. The
reservoir when completed will cover
about three sections of land Supplies
and machinery are now being hauled
10 this point and work on the dam
proper will begin within two or three
weeks. An immense 70-ton steam
shovel and four small locomotives
have arrived and they will be taken
out on a portable railroad. 1t will
take several months to complete the
work at this point.
Thumb and Fingers Blown Off.
Sunday afternoon John Yoakum a
teamster working on the government
ditch near Fosters, had his thumb and
two front fingers blown off by the ac-
cidental discharge Of a shotgun which
he was attempting to pun out of a
wagon. The unfortunate man was
brought to Echo and DIR. Ackley
dressed the wound. He was sent to
the hospital at Portland on No. 5
early Tuesday morning for treatment.

Draft New Water Laws.
R. R. Johnson went to Portland
Monday to attend a meeting of the
committee appointed to draft a new
set of laws in regard to water and
water rights, to submit to the legisla-
ture this winter. 1t has been found
that the present water right laws are
entirely inadequate, and unless they
are remedied endless litigation will
follow in a few years.

Very remarkable profits have been
made in Los Angeles real estate during
the last twelve months, but only by a
comparatively few people, because only
that portion of people have been able

financial as we'll as the supply base of
the wonderful mineral areas of Southern
California, Nevada, Arizona and north
ern Mexico, and a multitude of its citi-
zens have reaped and are reaping
splendid returns from investments in
mining properties and stocks. The sub
stantial development of interest in min
ing in Los Angeles is evidenced by the
number of important brokerage con-
Germs deYotedA solely, or almost so, to
the financing of legitimate mining en-

these concerns have been phenomenally
successful in the propositions they have
promoted or backed, rolling up profits
for their clients that surpass, time of

little known fact. was adverted to in
