EXCEEDINGLY RICH COPPER COUNTRY
Eastern Capitalists will Invest

DR.. Barrett of Usage, and Mes

Iowa, arrived last week, remain
ing in the city one day and
departed for the famous copper
country Of Salmon river, where
they will make thorough inves-
tigation of the holdings of the o
and E. mining company, together
with several other mines in the
immediate locality. The first step
taken by these gentlemen will be
to gather samples from different
lodges on the property, which will
make in all about 700 pounds of
ore to be shipped to expert assayers
at Butte, Omaha. Denver, Pacific
coast points aud California. At
these several works will be made
a most thorough analysis Of the
ore and ii the returns are such as
have hitherto been taken from the
mines, the work of insta ling a
smelter on the property will begin
soon as material can be plac ed up
on the grounds.
The gentlemen who represent
the eastern stock holders spent
some time in Butte, Montana,
while enroute to Grangeville, and
made thorough inspection Of the
smelters Of that city, VIII ere they
learned it will cost $40, OCN to in
stall one of sufficient propu urtion to
meet the demands of their holdings

installing of this much needed
plant the mineral distri cts of Idaho

uncomfortably short for us!"
StenoviCs grunted again, and
then rode on somewhile in
silence. At last, just as he was

No unknown concern should be

such conditions unless there is some
thing radically wrong with the dealer
and he doesn't fully appreciate the
real meaning of that word Energy.
Given a reputation for fair, and
honest dealing, the cooperation of a
local paper for advertising purposes,
backed by continuous energetic efforts,
there is no mail order house that will
be able to compete for local patronage
under such conditions.
Energy-at work, why there is more
real meat on business success in that
one word than all the high sounding
theoretical nonsense ever written, or
that ever will be, and if those furniture

complaints against the mail order
houses will but come in contact with
the live wire that furnishes them the
power, they will Immediately get
busy.

Adolescence.

American Motherhood, parents should
understand the physical, mental and
moral significance of adolescence;
should realize that it is a crisis Of
grave import to the boy or girl. Most
mothers do recognize that this is to
the girl critical time, and they watch
with much anxiety the physical un-
folding of their daughters, guard their
health, have patience with their moods
and tempers, and overlook many per-
versities with the feeling that 'she
will be better by-and-by' Few par
ents realize that to the boy the period
between IA and 81 is equally grave;
that it is marked by physical changes
of equal Importance; that the crisis
is for him even of graver import, he.

Walking q Lost Art.

Time was when everybody walked
and thought it no disgrace. For then
walking was only degree slower
than the quickest means of locomo-
ton, and by that token respectable.
But who thinks of walking now? II
you go into shoeshOp where so styles
of fine footgear are offered, you won't
find a shoe you could walk g mile in
without being crippled, and though
you call for the best grade Of stock
ings, they are worn through the first
time you put them on If you 60 afoot.
Nobody who is anybody is expected to
walk any more The trolleys and the
devil wagons have made walking in
tolerably slow, and the airships, when
they come, will doubtless abolish 1t
for good and all. And that Is prog
ress. The voice which clamors for
stockings that will wear or shoes that
are easy is voice out Of the past,
the echo of dead traditions.-Life.

The Coffee Pot.

In man, kitchens the remnant Of
the morning portion of coffee is left
in 'the pot on the back of the range
for a mid-forenoon cup for the cook.
Not only is the rank flavor extracted
from the housekeeping grounds, but
certain deposit is made upon the
sides of the pot which is hard to re-
move, even by the most thorough
washing. This deposit, if left On, will
surely faint the coffee that is subse-
quently made in the pot and injure the
flavor of the best berries to be had.
The pot should be washed and scalded
every time it Is used. If any liquid
is left, it should be strained off into
either a porcelain, china or earthen-
ware vessel, or into glass jar, when
it may be added to any new brew
which is made.

Wedding Etiquette.

The father and mother of the bride,
as hostess and host in their own
home, welcome the guests before the
ceremony; after that the bride first,
then the groom, the maid of honor and
the maids, then the men of the party;
after them the parents of the bride
and groom. However, the receiving
line soon dwindles down to the inter-
ested couple; the others mingle with
the guests, especially the men, whose
duty it. is to see that people are duly
presented to the bride and groom and
that the way of approach is kept clear
This is accomplished by seeing that
