Praises Troy Girl.

Prof. H. 6. Calhoun OF the Lewis
ton Normal writes he following self
explanatory letter to the Troy News:
Lewiston, Idaho, Dec. IA, 1906.
Editor Troy News.
Dear Sir: I take for granted that
you will be interested in one Of the
young citizens of THE biggest little
town in the United States," who has
developed in debating at the Lewiston
Normal School. In our recent try
out" to choose a team Of three to de-
bate the freshmen of the University Of
Idaho, Miss Maude Sullivan, Of Troy,
won second place. Her work along
all lines is enthusiastically and splend-
idly done; but her recent ventures in
the debating work have been a happy
surprise to US all. Troy students have
made good records with US in almost
every case. We want more Of this type,
Very truly yours,
Henry c. Calhoun.

Cold Weather Stories
OF Three Cities---ReaI and
True Tales Are These.
Fiery Orators Speech Is Frost in Nome.

Nome, Dec. 15.-Such cold weather
as ha, been prevailing for 10 days past
has never been experienced by the
Oldest miner in Alaska. Truthfully,
it is so cold that the flames of fires
burned outdoors have turned to beauti-
full red icicles, and have to be wrapped
in blankets to thaw out.
John Hare, the fiery orator Of the
Arctic, delivered lecture the other
night, and although he chose the most
burning words, his speech was frost.
The extreme cold has in measure
proved godsend to the suffering peo-
pie. The ice is frozen so hard and
dry that the friction caused in chopping
causes spontaneous combustion, and
melts tons before the flames can be ex-
tinguished. Thus is a water supply
furnished.
Equipping himself with six suits Of
woolen clothing and bear skin, Ed
ward Long went to neighbor. Arriv-
ing, he discovered his left leg frozen
stiff. The cold air had entered through
a rent no larger than pin head and
had done the work.
In cooking great care must be exer-
cised to keep the frying pan covered
There have been instances where e
beefsteak while cooking a nice brown
underneath was frozen stiff on the ex-
posed surface.
All the hens are laying frozen eggs
and the COWS have to be MIXED with
redhot asbestos gloves.

Bells, Tenn, fought nasal catarrh. He
writes: "The swelling and soreness in
side my nose was fearful, till began
applying Bucklen's Arnica Salve to the
sore surface; this caused the soreness
and swelling to disappear, never to re-
turn Pest salve in existence. 25c at

Farmers Are Living Under Snow Mantle.

Winnepeg, Dec. 15.-Reports from
Prince Albert tell of terrific snow
storm Of a week ago. The fakes fell
for six days necessarily to depth of
nine feet in the open and drifts 50 feet
high piled up.
Fortunately, the snow was soft, and
the settlars had no difficulty in digging
tunnels from house to house. 1t is
not probable the snow will disappear
before spring, and many farmers are
are arranging to live under it for the
winter.
A few who did not have their fall
plowing done have propped up the
snow in the fields and are carrying on
the work as usual Their. only com
plant is the dimness Of the light.
Since the mantle OF snow is so thick
no fire is required in the houses, and
in order to prevent being overcome by
heat little cooking is being done.
Where. it is absolutely necessary to
come to the surface ladders are used,
and the shafts are carefully covered
with trap doors to prevent a draugh'
from annoying those under the snow.

Billings, Mont, Dec. 15.-Wfth the
arrival of winter, DR.. Jeremiah Wright S
Hygenic Skating Pond has been
opened, and it is expected to prove

that skating in its present form is more
fatal than football, and his aim has

susof 1900 she had population of
32oo. In 1908, the city census
showed about 6, 500 people, while
today her population is approach
ing the 1900 mark. Correspond
ing growth in all business and in
dustrial lives has marked the in
crease in her population.
IN considering the elements that
have contributed to her marvellous
growth, first Importance attaches to
her superb natural advantages, her
central location in the midst of a
country of unsurpassed fertility,
that has made it possible for her
to become the business center of

natural advantages alone do not
make city.

sive. wideawake men, and il is to
this factor that attention is directed
in this article.
The people of Chickasha have
moved in harmony in every impor-
tant step in the advancement of
the city. In the early days there
was no systematic organized effort
but iu course of time the necessity
was seen for organization in
Fronting the progress of the city
and the Commercial Club came into
existence as a natural consequence.
This organization has had a more
or less checkered history but from
small beginnings il has steadily
advanced till today there is not a
more active or effective organiza-
ton of the kind in the southwest.
The club is affiliated with the Okla

with the Southwestern Develop

During this period through the
efforts Of the club, the Oklahoma

An excursion arrived Thursday,
in charge Of R. G. Mullen, The
party was taken through the mines
and about the district. and all were
greatly pleased with the out
look.
The great bodies of ore in sight,
awaiting shipment TO the smelter,
and the work in progress at
the placers, were revelations to
them.
The party arrived in a private
car and taking carriages were TAX

National mining company, to which
point the pipeline has been laid.
Here they saw a stream Of water
directed with great force against
the gravel, which was washed into
sluices. and the gold was recovered
behind the rifles.
The party then climbed the hill
10 the Mamie Baird, and entered
the property from the head OF the
old incline, going to the bottom
level, where they saw the great
ore bodies blocked out at that point,
and the rich ore in the face of the
drift that is being advanced to the
Maggie shaft.
They were raised to the surface
through the vertical shafts.
From that point sney inspected
the placer workings of the South
