How an Enterprising Reporter Got
the News For His Paper.
Undoubtedly the boldest undertaking
on the part of reporter to score a
beat" ever known in the history of
American journalism was when Thorn
as B. Fielders of the New York Times
leaped from steamer in New York
harbor at odds of about 100 to l OF
being drowned and brought in the first
graphic story Of the loss Of the ocean
liner Oregon. 1t Is the custom of New
York dailies to send reporters down
the bay to meet incoming steamers
when 1t Is known there is "big news
aboard. On the ground that 1t Is bet
ter to be safe than sorry the editors
dispatch the reporters by special per.
NIT on a government revenue cutter
or else on specially chartered tug
with view to catching their game
before the ship docks. 1t was known
early one afternoon that North Ger
man Lloyd steamer was not far out.
and every city editor in New York laid
plans for sending reporters to meet the
incoming liner.
Fielders was one of these. He man
aged to get aboard the big steamer ia,
down the bay and went among the sur
vvors Of the Oregon disaster and Oh
tanned some thrilling tales of escape
He took notes enough to write a bool;
about the sinking of the ship, witt
minute details of heroic rescues anl
plenty of what newspaper men cal
human interest stories. Then time
began to wear heavy on his hands. II
was getting late ut night and the shil
had not yet passed quarantine. TC
make matters worse, the captain said
that he would allow no one to leave
the ship until she had made her way
clear Of quarantine. Fielders vainly
pleaded that he was not passenger
and therefore was not amenable to the
inspection of the ship by the healt
officers. His remonstrances were TN
awaiting. The captain was obdurate.
Ten o'clock came. The city editor OF
the Times paced nervously around the
night desk. repeatedly asking. 'Where
Oh eurlu is l. lclueTS!
Out there in the bay Fielders
wrought to pitch Of anger almost
sufficient to impel an assault upon the
exacting captain, looked vainly at the
dimpling stream of light from his tug
as she lay out in the darkened waters
waiting for him. The captain of the
steamer would not permit the tug to
come any nearer to his ship. Fielders
stood beside the rail, loudly remoll-
strating with the man commanding the
big ship. He stealthily placed one le::
over the rail. then the other. Then
there was splashing sound below
and a chorus Of shouts from the pas
sengers. The reporter was overheard.
Out in the ripping light his body was
seen to rise. and as it did the daredevil
began swimming toward his tug. His
comrades had thrown out line at Il
signal from him previously given, and
he made for that line. Would he eve.
get It? Could they see him, n mere
speck OH the dimly lighted water? He
gained hold on the rope, was pulled
aboard the tug and gave orders for her
nose to be turned toward the Manhat-
tan shore with all possible speed. The
Times contained a full and graphic
story of the loss Of the Oregon the

The BEARD In TuniS.

In Tunis when reignlng prince
finds It necessary to 60 outside his i'm
mediate family to choose his successor
he follows an odd custom. There the
wearing Of hair on the face is the ex
elusive privilege Of sovereignty When
the prince selects a successor he sends
the court barber to the fortunate indi-
vidual to notify him that he may wea'
a beard. This intimation Is equivalent
to formal announcement that he has
been selected as the heir presumptive.

What q chanseI

How have the mighty fallenl A few
years ago old Bear Lake county had
considerable voice in the councils of
the democratic party. The county was
represented at state conventions by
men who were, and are yet, true blue
democrats; men who are democrats
from principle and not for Office; men
who fought the battles of democracy
when the renegades who are now lead
ing the party on its mad career, we're
unheard Of But where are those men
today? They are cast aside kicked
out of the party councils and told that
they are no longer wanted. And the
county's representation to the state
convention has been reduced from
twelve to three, representation that
makes it practically nonentity in the
convention. Montpelier Examiner.

A lot of people are making living
by abusing John d. Rockefeller. For
years he has been making ''copy" for
magazines and newspapers, and Incl
dentally salaries for numerous scrib-
blers. He is also prime favorite for
the sensational preachers and it is a
cold Sunday that one of these "hot
gospelers' does not hold John d. up
as an awful example. After awhile the
people will actually begin to sympathize
with the Standard Oil magnate as they
do with deer pursued by wolves or a
dog being devoured by feas.

A Complaint From Homeda.le.

The note from the road contractor of
the Second District published in Mug
get, three weeks since, has brought
reply from Mr. Adam Blackstock Of
Enterprise, in which he says:
Il see by a recent issue of the Nugget
that the road contractor for this dis
Lrict is up on his ear about the roads
from the Oregon line to Froman's ferry.
We don't kick so much about the roads
as che way the contract is let We
want man appointed in this district,
and have the mouey collected here be
spent on the roads as it ought TO be.
He claims he spent ten days hard work
on the roads; now what can man ac-
complish by going over the road horse
back with pick and shovel. There
are lots Of places where the road hangs
over and is practically IMPOSSIBLE for a
load of wool. Now mau ought to have
a team with plough and scraper when
the grouLd is wet and get such places
in shape. There have been several
wagons turned over or run off tile grade
already, and no wool has come from
Jordan Valley yet.
| see the commissioners have turned
down a petition for road from Ber-
nards ferry to the Warm Springs. How
in thunder do they expect us to get
around i'll this country? Have we to
take pack horse every time we 90 off
the ranch? | can hardly get from my
ranch to the post-otfice at Enterprise,
since this country has been taken up.
There is piece of good country being
opened up down here aud the sooner
we have roads and county roads laid
out, the better for all concerned"
Nugget would respectfully suggest to
the Board of County Commissioners
that the Northwestern portion of Owy-
hee should have road district Of its
own, cut off from district No. 2, with a
resident contractor to keep the roads
in repair. That section of the county,
with the irrigation enterprises going on
is being rapidly taken up, and the
ranchers and stock growers in it are en-
titled to all the assistance they are
asking, which the county can render
them. The road from Rockville to the
ferry at Homedale, over which all the
traffic between Jordan Valley and Cald-
well goes, is the only one in that section
which receives the slightest considera-
ton from the county. There are nov
other Dads wanted down there, and
these matters should receive the atten.
tion of the commissioners without fur
Their delay.

A steady tide of emigration has been
flowing southwest for many years, but
the volume has been greatly increased
within the past five years, and is in
creasing noticeably every year. The
result has been decided advance in
land values, much of the good farm
land in Texas and Oklahoma having
doubled in price seneral times. Every
time farm land changes hands it is a
big profit to the owner. Most of this
property has been acquired by thrifty
Northern young men, who are rapidly
developing the new country into great
agricultural section A strong fight is
being made by Oklahomans for state
hood, and there is no good reason why
they should not win out. 1t would
mean much for the builders of this new
empire and hasten development all the
faster.

ism, which has long plumed itself upon
its changeless attitude towards things
creedal, has in late years been compeII-

The World Moves.

Yielding to the pressure of public
opinion, the compilers of the new Pres
byterian prayer book have eliminated
from the marriage ceremony of that
church the word "obey" as included in
the wife's promise in the Episcopal
marriage ceremony, from which it is
modelled. and also the promise so empty
in fact and in law which includes the
bestowal of "all the worldly goods" of
the husband upon the wife
1t is about time that meaningless
vows, always taken with secret reserva-
tions, were eliminated from the mar
riage service. ASKED the day before
her recent marriage if she was to prom.
Use to "obey" her husband, young
woman-intelligen cultured and with
a more than ordinary sense of duty
replied: ooh, yes; it's 10 use to raise a
question about the matter" adding after
a moments reflection, 81 don't intend
to obey Tom unless want to, or against
my own sense OF what is best and right,
if it should ever come to that" 1t is
clearly about time that a promise so
farcial as the one is in most cases
should be no longer required of wives,
while as far the endowment of all
worldly goods promised by the hus-
band, that, as every one knows, is and
has ever been null and void, except as
it is occasionally ratified by the last
will and testament of a generous hus'
band. The two belong to the system o.
'lip service which has made the forms
of religious worship and covenant emp
ty and meaningless to thinking people
for generations.
Few promises would make an homes
observance of obligations to which the
conscience is silently pledged easier, i
