West Virginia.
Last summer some persons from the
North were spending month in the
mountains of West Virginia in log
cabin on the mountainside. One morn
ing, as they sat on the porch admiring
the views, little mountain girl in
short blue calico dress and bright pink
sunbonnet bounced round the side Of
the cabin.
"Howdy!" she said. Nanny wants
to know IL you.all don't want a poke
Of snapples this mohning."
"A what?' the Northerners asked, in
amazement
"A poke Of snapples," sissy repeat
ed. Then, evidently overcome with
shyness, she darted through the un-
derbrush before the newcomers could
decide whether or not thev wanted a
poke of snapples." :.
The expression got into the sys.
TENS Of the visitors, until curiosity
made one of them take her way to the
little farmhouse.
81 will take poke Of snapples,
please she said, fearing ELL the while
the mountain woman would laugh in
ner face or think her an escaped luns
tic.
But very gravely the woman disap.
peared. and soon returned. handing
the caller a bag Of string beans. The
beans, which snap in the fingers are
called "snapples" by the mountain
GERS; and poke" which is a good old
word for bag that has survived from
the Shakespearean English Of the
early English settlers Youths Com

feasible, to make arrangements for
its installation.
The course in view by Mr.. Bleak

feature, these studies would be ac-
companied by Latin, higher mathe

PRIZES FOR CONDUCTORS.
o. II. & n. May Initiate the Burling-
ton System.

A recent order of the Burlington
railway to the effect that all passen-
ger conductors must have their pants
pressed every trip and their linen
Numbered twice week Is causing "A
lot of speculation on the o. r, n N.
The Burlington has installed reg
ular official tailor in the conductors
room at the Chicago offices of the sys-
tenn, where all passenger conductors
must report for inspection every trip.
II they do not present a neat and tidy
personal appearance they are over
hauled by the official tailor before
leaving on their runs.
O. r. & n. conductors running into
Pendleton are wondering If this sys-
tenn of inspection will reach to the
coast and are specializing on its ef-
fects here. The o. r. & N. is espec-
tally fortunate in having a uniform
ly handsome force of passenger con-
ductors and an official tailor would
be a superfluous official on this sys-
tenn.
However, since all railroads are
tightening up on their rules of disci-
pline the conductors would not be
surprised to hear Of the adoption OF
the new regulation by the Hartman
system.
Under the new regulation on the
Burlington, the conductor whose per-
soma, appearance is the most uniform
ly perfect and immaculate, will be
given a prize each month. Specula'
ton is rife on the o. R. & N. as te
who would win the first prize here.
So far w. H. Kelsay has been the
leading candidate for the first prize
His portly form. his ever-present but
tonhole bouquet and pleasant smile

mustache seem to entitle him to th'
first prize.

NO BANKRUPTCY LAW IN ARMY.
Officer VIII BE Courtmartialed for
Pleading 1t.

Plattsburg, N. Y, June 9.-There Is
trouble for Major Francis p. Free
mont OF the 5th-infantry, on duty at
Pattsburg barracks, but now on leave
of absence. That officer is the son
OF General John C. Fremont, the
pathfinder" and is we'll known in
the army. He recently filed petition
in bankruptcy in New York, ac-
knowledging liabilities of nearly S12,-
900. to meet which he had only s2S in
cash as assets. The fact that an army
officer should ask to be declared a
bankrupt and obtain relief from his
financial obligations in that manner
is altogether without precedent.
The war department authorities are
much surprised that an officer should
SO proceed, and instructions have gone
forth. to have the case thoroughly in
vestigated. with the chance that Major
Fremont will be tried by courtmartial.
His debts cover transactions with
banks in all parts Of the country,
well as personal Indebtedness fol-
medical services, household supplies
lawyers services, uniforms, etc.
Army officers do not sympathizt
with any such appeal to the law as
protection to an individual of the ser
vice who owes money. The practice
is by no means viewed with favor
and It is not understood in Wash
ington just how an army officer may
with his assurance of income, be ad
mitted into bankruptcy. The case pos
: sesses elements which, 1t is said, cal
: for some drastic proceeding. What
ever action Is necessary will be takel
by General Grant at Governor
J Island.

FINISHING AT MINIDOKA.
Big Dam of Government Irrigation
Project About Done.


The great Minidoka dam, one of
the mightiest engineering achieve
ments of the state. is now approach
ing completion and is being pushed
along by .orce OF $50 men, working
night and day. says the Rupert Rec
ord.
Practically all of the rock filling is
now in place and the dam Is 10 iee'
higher than the highest water mark.
The lower side of the dam Is COM
pleted clear across the river with the
exception of filling It to a uniform
slope.
The heaviest work remaining to be
done is on the upper side, where the
gravel backfilling is yet to be placed.
This will greatly extend the width of
the dam at its base and prevent seep-
age through the rock. 1t will require
so 900 yards of gravel for this back
filling and it will be run out along
the crest of the dam in dump cars
| and dumped into the water. 1t is ex-
pected that 1000 yards will be han
died daily and that the work will be
finished in so days.
