Wood is now selling at So
cord in Lewiston and the price
expected to go considerable
higher as soon as cold weathe
arrives.
The city council at Cotton
WASH, has made arrangement
to connect with the electric wir,
running from Lewiston to Mos
cow and provide the town will
electric lights and power.
A contagious disease that
seems to battle the owners has
appeared among the cattle in
Indian valley, near Weiser.
The state veterinarian was noti-
ned after fourteen head of cattle
died and many more were
afflicted.
A passenger train on the
Clearwater line run over a
drunken Indian asleep on the
track at Spalding Friday after
noon and cut his head off. The
Indian was a member of the
Yakima tribe and was named
johnson. Little was known of
him at Spaulding.
The Uniontown Press states
that the heavy electric transmits
sion wire running from Lewiston
to Moscow is responsible for
some Of the heavy rain and hail
storms of the section east of that
town and a number of storms
this summer arising in different
directions have been drawn to
and followed the route of the
electric wire for several miles,
doing much damage.
Word reached Lewiston this
week that the cattle stolen some
time ago on Snake river and
driven into Oregon were taken
by Earl Steen and a companion
and were about to be sold along
with other cattle owned by Steen.
The stolen cattle numbered about
100 head and belonged mostly to
Madden Bros, Of Waha, and F.
w. Kettenbach, of Lewiston.
A warrant was at once sworn out
for Stems arrest and an officer
sent after him and he is probably
being brought back to Lewiston
now to face the charge filed
against him.
Benton Anderson, a young
man who was employed in haul
ing wheat from the "21" ranch
near Waha to Sweetwater, got
thrown from his wagon Monday
morning and was killed. It is
thought he was thrown from the
seat by the wagon wheel strik-
ing a rock and fell in such a way
that the wheel passed over his
head, killing him almost instant
ly. His companion teamsters
conveyed him to a nearby farm
house and later the remains were
taken to Lewiston. Anderson's
Oerents reside on a farm near
and he has a young
wife living at Lewiston.
A Culdesac dispatch says:
The laying of steel on the new
Culdesac- -Grangeville road has
now reached a point about ten
miles from Culdesac and three
miles more will place the road
practically out of the canyon.
Recently a heavy engine has been
placed on the road to take the
place of a light one that has been
in service since the track-laying
started. Some difficulty has
been encountered at one of the
tunnels by constant cave-ins, but
it is believed no further trouble
will be experienced in that

Mt. Idaho.
The story of Brice's exploit
attracted wide attention through
out the country and was recited
in newspapers and histories in
every section. He left Idaho
county shortly after the war and
for years it was the general
belief in this section that he had
died. About three years ago
Miss Fabrique, of Tammany,
composed a poem on the subject
of his escape from the Indians
and it was published in the
Tribune. A short time later the
receipt of a letter from him dis
closed the fact that Brice was
still alive. He has been making
his home in Montana for years.

and veritable sea of peaks burst
upon the vision of the beholder. Far
to the north can be seen the noun
talns in the adjacent State of Wyo-
ming, while to the west can be made
out the Gore range, well toward the
Utah line. If the day is clear a bright
yellow streak can be discerned be-
tween the uttermost peaks. fifty miles
to the east. That streak is the vast
plain east of the Rockies, and some
days the smoke Of busy Denver can be
discerned. AS many as 176 snow
capped peaks have been counted from
the end, of the Argentine Central road,
to say nothing of the numberless 9th.
er peaks above timber line.
The bald side of the mountain has
been honeycombed with mine tunnels
and shafts. Some of the properties
are in the prospect" stage, while 9th.
ers are paying as high as $500 per day.
Through the mine dumps the train
threads it's way, and soon the last
switchback has been made and the
last grade climbed.
So quickly has the last ascent been
made that the traveller hardly realizes
that he is $4,000 feet above sea level.
But as soon as he takes few steps
along the side Of the mountain he
finds out. His breath comes in Sob
bing gasps, his knees grow weak. and
his heart beats as if it would leap from
his breast: He must stop and rest
every few feet. Even old and expert
enced mountaineers cannot climb long
without stopping to breathe at such a
tremendous altitude.

sible. 1t consists of loop of cord
sewn on to each side of the purse.
Over this loop of cord a good sized
bead is slipped, and a ring "a small
key-ring will answer the purpose), is
sewn at the end of the loop so that the
bead cannot slip of. The sketch
shows this clearly. Through. the up
per portion of the loop of cord the
hand is passed, and then if the bead
is raised it will tighten the cord round
the wrist, and the purse then is safe
from being lost, snatched, or laid down

The Latest Styles in Coats
Novelties to Be the
Feature of Season.
Unique and Pretty Dress and Toilet
Accessories to Delight the
Smart Woman.

Dainty new things shown in shops
will delight smart women and young
mothers who go shopping now, for
there are so many unique and pretty
dress and toilet accessories for both
grown-ups and infants. Ribbon cor
sets are among the novelties this fall,
and they are so beautifully made of
rows of wide satin that every member
of the fair sew who has seen one i'm
mediately wants to posses such an
article of dress if only to use on spe-
cial occasions. These corsets are ex-
quisitely made, with each ribbon
overlapping the one below and held
securely in place by hand embroidered
daisies, feur de lis, tiny bunch of
top there is an edging of narrow baby
ribbon fulled on, or piece of sheer
Valenciennes or Cluny lace gathered
to make fitting finish. In white rib
bon these corsets are delicate enough
for bride, but for practical use the
ones made Of gray, light tan or even
a delicate shade of light blue or dain-
ty pink will be most serviceable.
Figured silk garters will be worn by
fashionable women. Not like the
narrow plain ones that we're formerly
used for hard wear but artistic kinds
e s,e = :z;2sESsa1et eolored silks gathered
and shocked SO that they are decided
1y decorative. Instead of being about
an inch wide, as the styles of year
ago, these new ones are at least three
inches in width, with an edging of
narrow baby ribbon or of Valenciennes
lace. In black with yellow rosebuds
or in white with purple orchids these
silk garters are stunning when gath
cred, pleated or shocked in the latest
fashion.
To be in keeping with the tailored
waists to be worn this coming sea-
son, the neckwear on display is more
severe than it has been for several
years, and the modish collars are pat
termed like the mems, except that they.
are prettiy decorated with hand
embroidered scroll designs, or dainty
floral devices, either natural or con-
ventional. In sheer linen these col
lars-turnovers about an inch and q
quarter high-are attractive and will
be exceedingly becoming to women
with long thin necks, as they are to
be worn close to the throat. With
these collars tie of some description
is essential for finish, and as lingerie
bowknots or short four-in-hands are
the most convenient to tie, they will;
be used exclusively. If daintily made
of hand-woven lace, or combination
of handkerchief liner and sheer Valen!
ciennes, these bowknots or the larger,
ties are effective when properly ar
ranged on the collar-N. Y. Tribune.

STYLES FOR THE BABIES.
Fashionable. Little Ones Are Now
Wearing Sweaters.

Sweaters for babies are the newest:
thing that young mothers can buy for
the fall wear of their little ones.
These garments, made on the same
lines as those worn by grown-ups, will
be most serviceable for use before it is
time to put on heavy winter wraps.
The sweaters. are made with simple
stitches in white wool, with a narrow
border of pink or blue around the
cuffs and neck, or in light blue or deli
cate pink with white borders. Some
are made vest-like, cut quite low at
the neck with che edges bound with
silk, while others have the regulation
turtle neck such as athletes wear.
These go on over the head, and as
they fit tight to the body need no but
ton fastenings.
In strong contrast to these outdoor
garments are the beribboned frocks
that little ones will wear indoors this
fall. These dresses, made Of eyelet
embroidery, are decidedly telaborate,
being trimmed with wide satin ribbon
in blue, pink or white. On either side
Of the waist in front and back there
are two broad pieces of ribbon, ex-
tending from the neck to the waist.
These join "a ribbon belt that matches
and ties In front and back with bows
having -four or five loops. -

THREE-QUARTER LENGTHS TO
BE IN FAVOR.
Paris Already Has Set Stamp Of Ap-
proval on the Garment-Espe-
ciaily Adapted for Woman
of Slender Figure.

1t is early in the year to speak of
winter fashions, but it is certain that
very long three-quarter length coats
will be first favorites when Tout Paris
returns to- the gay capital, writes
Idalia de Villiers.
At the DeauVil1e races and on the
p1anches at Trouville saw a number
of these coats in Irish lace and Vene-
tian guipure, and the same style will
be worn all through the winter.
These coats are cut after the fashion
OF the picturesque garments worn by
Louis XVII. They are shaped to the
figure, but they do not fit tightly. They
have large pockets and turned back
cuffs, but they are not so ornate as
the coats worn in the time of Louis
XIV.
On tall, moderately slender figure
coat of this order is thing of real
beauty. It has careless grace of it's
own, and it is delightfully."- comfortable
One the other hand the short, stout
women must avoid this fashion. It
will cut her figure in most unbecom-
ing manner and take away from her
inches.
Sack coats are still very popular, but
when winter comes we shall find their
place taken by the semi-tight coats I
lave just desert ed:-7z = 5s =:
With the Louis XVII. coats it is
necessary to leave the fronts open and
loose, therefore the blouse or bodice
underneath must be specially attrac-
tive and we'll made.
For morning wear we shall have
long, perfectly tight, redingotes-but-
toned up in front like a riding habit.
With these severely plain blouse
must be worn and an exquisitely neat
collar and tie.
The redingote is specially beloved
of Parisiennes and they always man.
age to look most attractive in that
particular style of costume. Perhaps
this is because they are naturally very
neat, as regards their hair and their
neck arrangements.

There is a dizzy. thrilling time in
store for the individual who travels
over the new Argentine Central rail-
road. which has just been completed
in Colorado. and which climbs. up one
of the shoulders of Gray's Peak until
it reaches. the appalling altitude'of 49,
007 feet above the sea level.
Aside from a railroad in South
America, which crosses an Andean
pass some 500 feet higher than the end
of the Argentine Central, this Colora-
do road is the highest actual railroad
in the world. 1t is nearly as high as
the world-famous cog road up Pixies
Peak, and is more than 400 feet higher
than the celebrated Jungfrau railroad
in Switzerland, which is the marvel OF
European engineers. Gray's Peak
whose grim top this new railroad
comes within 200 feet of scaling. is
higher than Pixies Peak, and is one
OF the mightiest mountains on this con-
tinent. Adjoining Gray's Peak is Tor
rey's. These giant peaks, OF exactly
the same height, are connected by a
slightly depressed ridge, making a
great saddle, and the sight of these
mighty twins of the range, streakei
with huge banks of eternal snow, is
alone worth the journey to the end OF
the new railroad.
This new railroad to Cioudland is
the result of the foresight and pluck
OF one man, E. J. Wilcox, one of Den
ver's successful mining magnates. Six
years ago Mr.. Wilcox began buying up
and developing mining properties in
the Gray's Peak region. Soon he CON
trolled a large number OF properties
Under the names of the Waldorf and
Manhattan groups. The problem OF
transporting ore was a serious one.
and Mr.. Wilcox began to figure on
railroad. connecting with the Colorado
& Southern at Silver Plume, fifteen
miles away. 1t is at Silver Plume that
the Colorado & Southern makes the
celebrated Georgetown loop. which
will always be regarded as one of the
greatest feats of engineering in the
world. Silver Plume is at the bcttom
of a canyon, thet mountains risingzal-
most sheer. .~to*a tremendous height.
In order to make this first dizzy
ascent oct of Silver Plume. Mr.. Wilcox

grade, and the last ascent has begun
This means that the train climbs
eight feet out of every hundred it ad,
vances. In fact the entire road, from
Silver Plume to the mountain top, av-
erages six per cent grade, which is
something hitherto unheard of in
railroad construction. The curves,
which are so numerous as to leave the
impression that there is not a straight
rail in the entire railroad, average 80
degrees.
Soon the train is above timber line.

Importance of Stitch in Time


without the artificial help. Nobody
who can stand on his own feet and
walk without aid wants to be seen
with cane or crutch. Except in
cases of illness and by the direct pre-
scription of a responsible physician,
drugs should not be tampered with.
The well known fact that they are
often adulterated makes them even
more perilous than they would be
were their purity guaranteed. They
are costly remedies at the best and do
not deserve the character of a stitch
in time.
Another aspect of the case has to do
with the education of our children,
Not so much with that part of their
education that falls within the scope
of the schoolroom, but with that
which they receive from the street
and from their comrades in play The
moment parent notices that a boy
is restless and uneasy at home, that
he steals off after supper and spends
the evening with boys who are hoot-
ing and yelling in rough play, or are
lingering about corners or ct the en-
frances of theaters, is the moment
when the stitch in time should be
taken. I recall instances of little
chaps who were very satisfactory un-
til they reached the trying age when
the small boy slips: the husk . o.
childhood and emerges into the big
boy impatient of restraint. Father
and mother were blindly indulgent or
unduly severe. They gave tether
too long or too short. They nagged
or scolded, but they failed to take
the stitch in time. Cheerful evenings
at home, sympathy, confidence and
properly exercised authority, save
boys from themselves and from the
tempter at the critical period when
most of all the home should hover
over them as guardian angel.
At a period in life, when the feet
are on the westering slope and the
sunset begins to cast it's shadows, peo-
pie should not fail to take stitch in
time. There is no ignoring the fact
that men and women cannot safely
continue in old age the activity. that
was natural and pleasant when they
were young. They may maintain a
high rate of health and very salts
factory amount of vigor and of attain
m2nt by consulting prudence as to
what they do and what they leave un-
DONE
The analogy of the autumn fields
should furnish elderly people with
a serviceable hint. Weeks ago every
thing was growing and ripening. But
when the harvest has been reaped
and the fields lie basking in the gold
en- autumn sun, Nature rests. They
who have worked long and faithfully
and borne the burden and heat of the
day should take stitch in time when
they have earned it. What this stitch
shall be depends on inclination and
temperament. To retire wholly from
business after a man has been active
all his days is often to invite paresis
or to sign ones death warrant Take
a stitch in time that best suits you.
1t need not be more than a stitch.
To drop every thing and take a back
seat is often the worst decision that
can be made.

AVOIDING TROUBLE AND FRlc-
TON IN HOME LIFE.
Some Temper-Saving Devices-Vaca-
tions for Overworked Nerves.
When Parents Should Re-
strain Restless Boys.
BY MARGARET e. SANGSTER.

Copyright, 1906, by Joseph B. Bowles.)
If only people knew the wonderful
virtue, almost the magic that is
bound up in a stitch in time, three
lourths of the illness, annoyance,
friction and trouble in home life
would be eliminated.
Take the commonest matters of re-
pair in an ordinary house. How we
neglect little things that might
be mended Or adjusted in an in
stant if somebody would take the
trouble and if procrastination were
not the fatal habit of the best people
under the sun. A screw is loose in
a doorknob and the knob comes off
in the hand. A very little time and
pains would set the thing right, but
nobody notices it and presently the
lock itself becomes disordered and
us aless. Broken sash cords, leaking
roofs, sagging hinges, loosened paper
and any number OF other petty vexa'
tions and negligences detract from
the respectable appearance of a home,
and needless folk let them alone TN
cradle effort to attend to them.
Loss of temper is not generally put
down as an item in the domestic bal
ance sheet, but it might as well be
since it mars the peace of far too
many homes. A box of tools and
somebody who is handy in their use
are great savers Of temper in house
hold economy The seasonable use
of paste and glue and of paint when
needed give a house that look of
thrift and beauty that adds much to
its value in the market. Nothing is
more undesirable in home than a
rundown look, consequent on the
neglect of the stitch in time
We laugh at colds and regard them
as the disagreeable commonplaces of
existence. The plain truth however
is that colds are nearly always blum
ders, that might have been avoided
Repeated colds and neglected colds
pave the way for the entrance of those
malevolent germs that undermine the
very foundations of life. To keep the
body in a state of the highest possi-
BILE vitality is the part of wisdom, and
this may often be done by the use of
stitch in time.
Be it noted that a stitch is not a
pin. Thousands of inconsequent peo-
pie stick in a pin when they ought to
thread needle and take a stitch. A
stitch implies something permanent.
Those who resort when weary to
stimulants, tonics, bitters, narcotics
or any sort of artificial help that is
the tempting refuge of weakness, are
merely trusting to treacherous pins
Stimulants and narcotics give only
temporary relief and the fatal ten
dency in both is to make their victims
