"A city which bears the name of
Washington. a university which bears
the name of Washington, are bound to
be great. noble, and beautiful; to be the
pride of the country.

need and adapt itself to circumstances.

ATARRH Of the respiratory organs
I IS a common ailment in Canada
for at least two-thirds of the year.
This condition is no doubt caused by
the long, severe winters experienced in
this part Of the continent.
Therefore, when Peruna was discov-
cred by Canadian people TO be a reliable
remedy for these catarrhal diseases, il
at once became "A popular medicine, not
only among individuals and in families,
but in the great hospitals, where II was

Copper Belt on Lake Shore.

On the east shore of the lake about
two miles from Walker an immense cop
per belt has been very closely located
and the location holes are showing up
some splendid ore. Many of the speci-

is believed that the average across fifty
feet will show in the neighborhood of
per cent
Throughout the entire reservation
wherever the prospectors are gathered
there is the utmost confidence i'm the fu-

HAYES AND M0NETTE
MAY HAVE TO DIG UP

The suit for a receiver and an account

TIE Hayes-M onette people has been de-
cided in favor of the defendants upon
every point. The suit was brought about
four months ago by SINNERS to show
cause why a receiver should not be ap-
pointed and an accounting made of the
profits resulting from the Hayes-Monette
lease on the famous Mohawk. at Gold
field. SINNERS and MOnnette were part
Eers in the mining business. The former
was the mining man, while the latter
was furnishing the financial backing. The
leasing proposition was completed. but
SINNERS was left out of the arrange

COPPER COIN OPERATIONS.
Company Doing Business in Morgan
County Makes Good Showing.

Developments at the mines of the Cop
per Coin Mining company will doubtless
county and We are glad to learn that the
work is progressing nicely, says the Nor
gan Mirror. Recent Improvements on the
wagon road permit the hauling of good
loads of ore down to the railroad and at
an early date construction work will be-
gin ON a new bridge across the river
where the cOmpany's road crosses.
The vein has been going down on an
argyle of forty-five degrees and has sud-
IDENTIFY changed TO an angle of about sew
enty-five degrees. The shale vein mat
ter below the solid rock roof is showing
fine with very encouraging indications of
something better not far away. Messrs.
HCWeS and Edgerly were in Salt Lake
City several days this week in the inter-
est of the mines purchasing equipment
anG supplies, and on the return trip We're
in Morgan on Saturday morning. They
feel very much encouraged over their
prospects and at some time in the near
future expect TO begin two new tunels
at points which apparently give great
promise of good results.
On recent occasion Frank Geary, who
is in the employ of the company. was
walking on the opposite side of the noun
tain from the location of the present tun-
nei and discovering some stones that
looked good to him lying loose on the
surface, he carried several specimens to
the camp. One of these specimens was
carried by Messrs. Howes and Edgerly to
the office of r. II. Officer & Co, promi-
nent assayers of the capital city, for
ASSAY. the result of which was indeed
flattering This indicates that the vein
extends entirely through the mountain
and the gentlemen are very much encour-
aged in their work.
A spur track will soon be put in for the
company and they will no doubt be ship
ping cars of ore not far in the future.
though they are not anxious to ship on
quotations received by them up 10 this
time. for the quality of the product will
easily command a higher figure.

There is one hill going into the mine

Guilty when the ground is dry but tn
fortunately this grade was laid out on
the shady north hill slope and became
too slippery for the traction bars TO gel
hold with the advent OF the first mos

now has to be hauled down to the foot
of this hill with teams.
THE engine uses under present condi-
tions about four tons of coal a day,
which is distributed in bins along the
road ct convenient intervals on the back

kind OF conditions. as no bridges have
yet been built, and fordinS the several
streams and Ly-ditches il has to cross
on the route muds up the gearing on the
inside of the broad traction tires, and
puts hard strain on IL. These bridges
are being built, however, and when COM
pleted il is figured that the ore can be
laid down at the railroad from Gilmore
at a good margin of profit for 50 per
ton.
1T is unfortunate for Lemhi county
that the Gilmore mine fell into the hands
of such unimaginative and conservative
operators. If that other class of Pitts
burg operators We know at this end Of
the state had gotten hold of such an
ore showing they would have had half
a dozen shafts down in the district by
this time 800 to 1000 feet deep and an
ore traffic developed that would prob
ably have justified a sure enough rail-

There is little prospect of an effort
being made to start rural mail deliv-
cry system in Canada, Judging from
the tenor Of report just handed down
to the Dominion parliament of the
Investigations made by William Smith,
secretary of the postoffice department.,
and Geo. Ross, chief postoffice super
intendent, into the United States rural
delivery system. The report states
that the American congress, which in
1897 voted $40. 600 to spend experiment
tlly, had reason subsequently to regret
it's action. The demands which came
in from all parts of the country took
the pOstofiice officials of their feet,
and the government found itself COM
pelled, in short time, to accept rural
free delivery as a part of the system.
The report states that the average loss
in each rural mail delivery district in
the United States is $50, 900 and the
estimated deficit for 1906 is in excess
of $is, 900, OOO The report goes ex-
haustively into the whole question for
rural mail delivery in the United
States, and in no respect are the find-
ings encouraging. It is pointed out
that the men who deliver the mail
receive less than $500 year out of
which they are compelled to provide
a horse and rig and keep it on the road
from seven to nine hours a day. Doubt
is expressed whether men could be
found in Canada to perform the same
service for similar money. In view of
these reported facts, the conclusion
is reached that the time is not yet ripe
for rural mail delivery system in
that country"

Quite. good sized audience,
augmented by the presence of parties
from Waukon, West Union and the
visiting bankers. heard Elbert Hub
bard in his famous lecture on ssAn
Age of Common Sense at the Grand
last Wednesday night. Those who
were pleased with his address were
captivated with it, and those who
were not SO highly entertained with
it did not like it at all. Fortunately
the former were largely in the
majority. While Mr.. Hubbard is
eccentric and has much faulty logic
in the opinions of many, yet his adj
dress is entertaining and told in
pleasing way, and possesses much of
real merit and profound thought.
He is a man of wide range Of
education, which he has put to
practical use, and gives his hearers
the benefit of his experience. The
lecture netted the library association
upwards of fifty dollars, we under

HANGS HIMSELF
IN HAY SHED.
WELL TO DO CANOE BACHELOR SUICIDES.
Iver ]. HAGEN Of Canoe Township Commits
Suicide on Friday Night and is Not
Found Until Sunday.

Despondent over losing a petty law
suit in which the judgment amounted
to only $34, Iver I. Hagen, well
known and we'll to do bachelor farmer
Of Canoe township, committed suicide
ON Friday night by hanging himself
with rope in his hay shed.
It appears that last week he had
law suit in court with Dick Stoskopf
over some difficulty with line fence.
He is road supervisor and the trouble
arose from this matter, but was settled
by the jury awarding Stoskopf $34
damages. Hagen must have brooded
over the matter until he became
Respondent, and on Friday evening
after the close of the trial, went home,
and during the night committed the
deed. He was not found until Sunday
morning, when the authorities were
notified.
Coroner P. M. Jewell was notified,
went to the place and summoned Q
corOner's jury consisting Of Hans E.
Ness, o. R. Severson and Peter K.
Helgeson, who after investigation,
returned the following verdict:
1--WE do find that said deceased came
to his death by hanging, self inflicted,
some time between the hours OF 2 80
p. m. Friday evening, April 27th,
and Sunday morning, April 29th.'
Mr.. Hagen lived about eight miles
north of Decorah, was about 40 years
of age and was born in this country,
having lived here all his life. He was
a bachelor and was fairly well to do,
we understand, having fine farm
and good bank account. The only
probable cause for the deed is that
above mentioned, coupled with the
fact that year or SO ago he suffered
with nervous difficulty which seemed
to be returning within the past week.
The funeral services will be held to-
day, from the Canoe church, Rev. X.
Seehus officiating.
