CoMPLIMENr TO SENATOR CLAY.

Washington, June 9.-Senator
CLAY has been paid the handsome
compliment of being chosen TO
succeed the late Senator German
upon the senate s greatest business
committee, the committee on ap-
propfiations.
Clay was the unanimous choice
of the steering committee for this
important place, although several
senators outranking the Georgian
in length of service were eligible.
Senator Clay, as a member of
the committees on commerce, on
postoffices and on public build
ings, has made such an excellent
record as worker in the commit
tee room and upon the floor of the
senate that the democratic mana
gers by unanimous vote elected
him for this important committee
post.
The appropriations committee,
of which Senator Allison, of Iowa,
is chairman, is considered the
great business committee of the
senate. Senator Clay is the only
Georgian who has ever been
member of this committee, which
was created in 1867.

SAN FRANCISCO DISASTER.

In the motion pictures of the great
San Francisco disaster, which are
scheduled to appear at Peoples Thea

bodied all the principal features of the
worlds greatest cataclysm. The pic

This beautiful film was completed
just three days prior to the fire, and

shock, they fastened their photogra-
pliers with their moving picture apara-

The pictures that resulted from this

wonderful pictures ever made, showing
as they do not only the ruins of great
buildings shaken down by the first
earthquake shock, but the fire breaking
out in the Cali building, and gradually
spreading westward through the Mis-
sion districts. There never has been
nor never will be, in all probability
such another picture made.

TANNING A BULLY.s

An Oklahoma man tells a good
story which illustrates the differ
ence between the effect of putting
a man in jail and merely compell-
ing him to pay a fine, and shows
how the blackmailers ard thieves
who manage certain trusts and
railroads may be tanned. Accord
ing to the story, a ferocious person
came into South McAllister some
time ago and disturbed the public
peace by announcing that he was
wolf; that he came from the
headwaters of Bitter Creek, and
that this was his night to howl.
He emphasized this statement by
firing pistol several times, and
was promptly put in the Gala
boose. Next morning he was
brought before Judge Stewart and
the case was heard.
II fine you $50 for being wolf,
$50 for being from the headwaters
of Bitter Creek, and $50 because it
was your night to howl" said the
judge.
"All right, jedge,'' the bad man
replied fiippantly. "I've got that
amount right here in my jeans"
II also sentence you to six
months in JAIL" continued the
judge. "Have you got that in
your jeans, too?"
This was too much for the bully
and he wilted like a coddled cab
bage. Wouldn't it be a good thing
to try the same remedy on all
kinds of bullies?

Mines, Mills and Mining.

Custer county is one of the richest mining sections in the world
but at present it needs better transportation, and capital to develop
its rich mining districts. In some states and territories ginning
and agriculture, though progressing hand in hand, are yet nearly
independent of each other. The farmers market is widened by
the miner. to be sure but not relying on home consumption ex.
clusively, he can exist and prosper, but in this county the miner
and farmer depend upon each other to a great extent. Let us for
q moment call the attention of the capitalist to some of the most
important mining districts and mines in the county, viz Mackay,
with its great copper mines; Morgan creek; Garden creek lead and
silver mines; Bayhorse district with its famous Ramshorn, Skylark
and dozens of rich .ead-slver and gold bearing Gmines; Poverty
Flat; Centennial Flat; East Fork; Clayton; Slate creek; Thompson
creek; Robinson Bar; Stanley Basin, with placer and quartz; Fish
er gold mines; Sheep Mountain and Seafoam, with their hundreds
OF rich ead-silver mines; Loon creek, placer and gold quartz min
es; Washington Basin gold mines; and the celebrated Yankee Fork
district. which is gold-silver ores, and embraces within its confines
hundred of mines. the most prominent producers at this time being
the Lucky Boy and Yankee Fork. Custer county also has several
quartz mills and smelters-hVe quartz mills at Custer; a dredge
ooat and mill at Stanley; d smelter at ayton;concentrator at Bay
horse, and a new s00-ton smelter at Mackay. In Custer county has
nearly 5000 located mining claims, and yet the vast region has not
been half prospeced.

Agriculture and Stock-Raising.

Agriculture ably supplements the mining industry in enriching
this county. The Salmon river. rising in the Sawtooth mountains
north of Wood river, enters on it's southwestern border, and pur-
suing a zgzag course in a general north easterly direction, receiv.
es the waters of ten large creeks besides the East Fork. These
streams. together with Lost river ana its tributaries, flow through
thousand of acres of arabic land still uncultivated. Since the hand
of man is forced to supply what nature withholds, irrigation takes
the place of rain; and the water that annually goes to waste would
make verdant fruitful valleys out of deserts, would convert the
the silence of desolation into the sounds from many homes. Agri.
culture. like all other industries of the county, is in its infancy
The time is not distant when large irrigatng canals will be taken
out of Salmon river. which has an endless water supply, and many
thousands of acres of rich sagebrush land along the river will be
reclaimed. The farms of this county produce wonderful Yields of
hay. oats. wheat. potatoes, etc. per acre, and large crops are
harvested each year.
Stock-growing is one of leading industries of the county, and
with the usually mild winters in the valleys and excellent summer
ranges. has become a very remuneratve industry, and the county
each year derives its largest amount of revenues in the way of
taxes each year from the stock growers.
