once the reduction of the ores
begins.
Some new discoveries were
made in the Loon country the
past season, and some of them
show good ore, and some of the
older discoveries are being work
ed with good results, but mate
to the Lost Packer has not as
yet been brought to light, and
Mr.. Clarence E. Eddy, the dis
coverer and Sweet Singer of
Idaho, has gone to Salt Lake
for the winter and is writing
poetry and locals for the Salt
Lake papers. 1t is left for him
to find the Packers" mate, as
all others have failed
Mr.. G. E. Gable is again oper-
ating the Sunbeam" mines on
Jordan creek and is putting them
in shape for extraction of ores
for early resumption of the mill
There is a good force of men at
the mines this winter.
The exploration tunnel on Mt
Estes is now in over LOO feet
and is nearing the point where
the ore veins are expected to be
encountered by another season,
when Loon creek, Jordan creek,
the mines at Custer and at Park
er Mountain are running their
full forces of men, the north end
of Custer county will again be
prosperous.
The distance from Custer to
/ Parker Mountain IS about -
miles via. head of Yankee Fork.
All who have been at the Parker
Mountain district speak very
highly of it, as the ores are
largely of gold and exceedingly
rich.
The teacher is back to Custer
from her vacation, and the vel

heard for miles along the valley
of the Yankee Fork. just before

A good many of the miners on
the Fork have gone to Wood

consequence, miners are scarce
and especially so in the LOor

past season was placed earlier than
it has been customary to hold it il
former years. This was an unfOr-
tunate circumstance for it put the
fair right in the midst of hop picking
in the Yakima Valley. 1t was a diff
cult thing to get adequate help to pick
the hops this season and the owners
of hop yards very naturally would not
allow their help to attend the fair If
they could possibly help it. 1t seems
to me that as the state backs UP the
state fair by appropriating some $15,'
900 every two years, the time of hold
ing it should be set at such a period
when it would be most convenient for
the farmers to attend. But why was
it changed to this very inopportune
time? | don't know, but it is rumored
that this was done to suit the racing
circuit that swings around in the
northwest each fall. | fear that this
rumor has at least some foundation.
If so, then think of the great state of
Washington appropriating money to
keep up fair that is made the tail
end of racing circle!

The reports are current that there
was a falling off in attendance at the
state fairs of both Oregon and Wash
ington this year. This is to be re-
GREETED, if the statement is true, and
the cause of this decline should be
sought out and removed, if possible.
Fairs, state, county or district, can
be made of great value to our farming
people and for them chiefly they
should be held. Fairs properly con-
Quoted are educators. The successful
man brings bis best products, whether
fruits, vegetables, stock or poultry.
He is the very man to tell his less
fortunate brother how he attained
success and is generally ready to do
this.

a large fair shining city. There
were houses, shops, and lofty
palaces, and all that makes a
city.
Before entering the city he
passed thro a surburb which
/ from its many beautiful places
he judged it to be the home OF
millionaires. Upon inquiry he
found it to be the beautiful
heigts of Winona. Thro the
center of the wide streets there
were long green parks bordered
on either side by magnificent
maple trees standing like
emerald goblets.
Surrounding the gray stone
mansions that stood at either
side of the avenues were flower
gardens as briget as if the earth
| had been EN- broidered with
threads of blue, and scarlet, and
gold. Walking along one of these
beautiful streets, he at last came
upon the city.
In the open square in the CEN
ter of the city we're marble
pools where the children played.
At the corners of the streets and
and the sides of the houses were
fountains which were constantly
at play,
In the center of the square is
colonial building, and as the
man made bis way along the paw
ed walks, past the pools of water
and beds of flowers, he noticed
the front of the building cut
in white marble, the word,
Library. On approaching
the steps he read these words
upon the great corner stone;
Free Public Library" present
ed by Andrew Carnagie, and
built in the year 1920"
He entered this beautiful
library aud found something
like a reception going on. This
was being given under the aus
pices of the Chamber of Com
MERGE in commemoration Of the
opening of the library.
The house was sizzling full Of
people. Those who were Jamb-
ed in the Hobbies tried to get into
the reception rom and those
packed in the reception rooms
struggled 20 escape, holding
plates of stratified cake and
qualified ice-cream high above
their neighbours head like signals
of danger Every body was talk
| ing at the same time ia a loud
shrillvoice and nobody was list
ening to what anybody was say
ing.
The tide of chatter rose, and
swelled, and ebbed, and sud-
denly sank away.
The crowd now began 10 dis
perse by twos, and by threes,
by tours. The stranger noticed
that the men were all wearing
blue and gray badges. Ga
peering more closely he read on
the bridges these words; PULL
FOR FITZGERALD OR PULL
OUT"
Quicker than lightning the
thought flashed across his mind
that this was the city which years
ago when a boy he had helped to
lay it's foundation.
He was the self same lad who
had felled the first pine tree and
helped to build the first rude
[homes. AS the people continued

School, read the following unique
essay at the closing exercises Mon
day evening of last week, in which
he tells of our origin and pictures
the probable future.
A. PROSPECT.
In remote part of the piney
woods of the great empire state
of the South, in the year 1895, a
few men hunting in dense pine
forest were startled by long
caravans Of travellers pouring
into the forest from all directions.
Those caravans consisted of
men, women and children vari-
ously related, some husbands
and wives, parents and grand
parents, children and grand
children, uncles and aunts, nieces
and nephews, first cousins,
second cousins, step-cousins.
half-cousins, cousins-in.law, and
the whole family of cousins.
Looking more closely at this
strange and unexpected band,
gallant youths were seen gently
assisting fair, blushing, but
smiling maidens to al;ght from
the vehicles; these were easily
distinguished as lovers, who
were evidently in quest of the
same object as their more aged
and settled sires.
Without law or ceremony, the
men at once began to fell the
trees of the forest, and to stretch
tents for the shelters of their
families, until houses could be
built, while the women and
children busted themselves pre-
pairing the evening meal, for the
day was we'll nigh spent.
One of the hunters accostlng
the newcomers, asked the pur-
pose of these sudden and strange
proceedings. "Why", replied
they, eve are laying the foun-
dations of the most thriving and
prosperous city your empire
state will ever know" Indeed"
was the reply. And whence
came the originators of so great
an enterprise?" 20! from every
where, the north, east, south,
and west" answered robust
youth, continuing the while to
ply axe with vigorous strokes to
what appeared to be the king of
the pine forest.
Smiling outward approval and
encouragement to them, but in
wardly testing at the unlikeness
of such prophecy they took
their leave promising themselves
however, that they would at some
future day return to find this
imaginary city deserted by these
aspiring inhabitants, who will
have left no more trace of their
whereabouts than did the first
settlers of Roanoke Island.
A few years later man, some
what years past the prime of life
was toiling along thro sand and
wiregrass when suddenly to.
wards evening be came upon
fields of corn, sugar cane, and
blossoming cotton. Farther on
their were rows of trimmed
China.berry trees and orchards
laden with ripening fruit. Red
rooted cottages were scattered
everywhere and in their midst
arose many large boundaries,
round-bouses repair shops and
other large buildings indicating
railroad shops. He wondered
greatly how came these shops
here. Passing on, he saw II
