Concerning that unique stream, Llt
river Jordan, Dr. Libbey, in "The Jor
dan Valley and PETRA" writes; Per
haps the strangest thing about this ia.
nous river is what none of the an.
clients ever guessed-that its course
was mostly below the level of the sea.
They journeyed up and down the val
ley since before the days of Abraham;
they climbed down the roads from Je-
rusalem TO Jericho and up into Moab
and Edom; they built roads east and
west of the Jordan; they built roads
and bridges and cities far below the
level of the Mediterranean and yet new
cr seem to have suspected that this
stream differed from most of therivers
of the globe In this Respect. Greeks,
Romans and MohammedanS, Jews,
Christians and crusaders knew every
nook and Granny of its winding course,
but failed TO realize that while its
head aud source rested high on noble
Hermon'S SIDE its mouth in the Dead
sea was far below the surface of the
habitable world and all the surround.

FALLS 40 FEET INTO
WELL AND LIVES

A six-year. old son of Eli Robinson,
who lives out on the Belmont road,
had narrow escape from being
drowned in a well Monday. Mr.. Rob
inson was finishing up the curbing of
a well that had been recently dug on
his place, and the little fellow, in
company with his sister, was playing
near it. His father was using plumb
bob in connection with the work aud
asked the boy to pick it up and bring
it to him. Tue plumb bob was lying
near the well curb and the youngster
ON picking up, instead of walking
toward his father, stepped backward
and fell into the we'll, which is forty
feet deep.
The Mortified father descended into
the we'll by rude ladder that had
been used in the construction of 1t,
expecting to find the boy dead. On
reaching the water, however, he found
that the youngster had struck on a
plank that was floating in 1t and was
calling Justify to be taken out.
Fearing that he might have sustained
internal injuries, DIR. Brosius was
summoned and made an examination,
but found that beyond a few bruises
the lad was unhuIt and that there was
no water In his lungs, His escape
from death or serious injury is CON
sidered miraculous.

IDAHO'S GOVERNOR
KILLED BY DYNAMITE

Frank Steunenberg, former governor
OF Idaho, was killed at 6:40 O'Clock last
Saturday evening at his home in the
suburbs of Caldwell. A dynamite
bomb was placed at the front gate with
some contriyance by which it was ex-
ploded when he entered Both of his
legs were blown off and he lived but
twenty minutes There was no known
reason for the outrage, but it is charged
to some member of the famous 'inner
circle Of the Occur d'Alene dynamiters,
whom he prosecuted So relenttessly in
1899, when governor.
Governor Gooding is in communica-
tion with the authorities of that county
and is preparing to put the full support
of the state behind the officials in run
ming down the perpetrators of the crime.
Rewards aggregating $4,000 have
been offered by Shoshone county and
the State of Idaho and number Of sus-
poets have been arrested. One of them
1t is said was prisoner in the famous
"bull pen" during the labos troubles in
the Occur D'lene country, and is known
to have been hanging around Caldwell
for some time.
Altogether five men are in custody
suspected Of the crime and it is expected
that evidence win be developed in day
or two that viii lead TO the arrest OF the
perpetratOr Of this dastardly crime.

banks of the Tiber, on the condition
that no one should see his work until
1t was completed. Michael Angelo
took an oath that he would stop

when the artist came late to work and
disguised as seller of cakes and wine,
he distracted the attention of those
round the scaffold that was prepared
by offering to them his wares, and, as
cending, he drew upon the wall gi-

Too often merchants are satisfied tC
allow customers to take goods from
their places of business without the
slightest understanding as to when
they are to be paid for. The Oregon
Tradesman publishes pertinent edi.
torial on this fact and says;
In their anxiety TO gain trade, toe
many merchants have impressed Gus
toners with the idea that the prinoi-
pal thing to do is TO take the goods,
and that paying for them is second
airy matter altogether, This is not
the case. The customer should not
carry away an impression that he can
pay when he gets ready, in the dim
and underlined future. You need not
tell him to his face, but have 1t post
cd In your store, or printed on your
checks, or somewhere or in someway
convey the impression that here is
day for payment aud that you ex-
peot your money at certain time.
Ii he wants more time, let him under
stand that he must ask for it and
make definite arrangement with
you. This thing of having an under
standing with your customers is
worth dollars to you. s."

"The marriage of the Adriatic" was
instituted in commemoration of a ma
val victory won by Sebastian Ziavi,
doge of Venice, over Otto, son Of Fred
erick Barbarossa, 1174. In consequence
of this victory Pope Alexander I'LL,
who had been driven to take refuge in
Venice, gave to the doge the sovereign
ty of the sea, and every year the doge
used to go in grand procession in his
state barge and throw gold ring into
the Adriatic, saying, with this ring 1
thee we'd" Flowers were then thrown
into the sea, and the procession re-
turned The sentence delivered by the
doge on the occasion was literally,

THE ROCK CRUsHER.

The recent defeat of the project to
buy rock crusher should not be
looked upon as final in this matter.
The making and maintaining of good
roads Ii the valley is one Of the most
important exigencies that now con-
front the residents of this community,
+. TO make good roads requires a solid
foundation and there is nothing that
is better for this purpose, as has been
demonstrated wherever it has been
used, than crushed rock. While the
expense Of purchasing a crusher may
seem large in comparison with the
present methods of making roads, in
the end 1t is most economical. For
the foundation once made highway
of this kind requires very little work
to keep it in good condition and lasts
for all time.
The purpose of the gentlemen who
agitated the question of purchasing a
rock crusher In District No. 3 was not
to saddle the entire cost of the ap-
paratus on the Taxpayers OF that dis
trict, as many Of its residents sup
posed, but simply to make start
toward purchasing it, and then have
the other districts in the valley pay
their proportion toward its expense
for the privilege Of having the use Of
it. Many of the residents in the 9th
or sections Of the valley have been
heard to express themselves as In fav-
or Of this plan, and there ls no doubt
but that machine Of this character
will be purchased in the near future
Good roads here would mean much
for both town and country. The ben
eft to those living here already Is
easily discernable. To the stranger
coming here to invest his money IT
would prove one OF the strongest
argument 8 that any community can
put forth.
1t is to be hoped, therefore, that
whatever opposition there Is to this
project will he held in allegiance, and
that a plan will be evolved which will
result In the purchase Of rock crush.

present year has run its course.
