During he past week the Herald
Office has printed bills for the fol
lowing horsemen: The Lowest.
lake Horse Company, Richard
Dennis. manager; The Nezperce
Horse Company, M. S. Stellmon,

P. E. and N. B. Miller left Fri
day for Freeman. Washington, where
they we're called by message an
ncuncing the serious illness Of Mrs.
Archie Wycof. Curtis Miller re-
ceiyed a message from the boys
Tuesday stating that Mrs. Wycof
died Saturday night and that they
will be nome today.
fThe 3-year-old boy Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Andy Stelimon accidentally
swallowed a five cent piece Thurs
day Of last week. DR.. a J.CocPer
was called and found the coin lodged
in the throat and the boy nearly
choked 10 death. The money was
too far down TO be extracted SO it
was forced into the stomach and the
little fellow appears 10 be none the
worse off as a result of the ex-
perience.
Some fellow who never had a mil
lion dollars. like We editors. do not
know, of course, Of just what the big
pile consists. We will put you on.
When you have million one-dollar
bills, and pile them up fat on one
another. and want 10 reach the top,
you will have 10 climb 81 feet. If
you laid them down end TO end, you
would have to walk nearly II miles.
II you had the amount in silver, the
pile would be a mile and a half
high. And so on.
When the sun shines and the
streets become dusty, you wish it
would rain; when it rains and the
streets become muddy, you wish the
sun would shine. After you are
married, you wish you we're single
and If you get new dress you wish
you had hat to match it; if it is a
boy you wish it was a girl, and il it
is a girlyou wish il was a boy-vas
human nature ever satisfied Guess
not. and glad of it, for then there
would be nothing TO "kick" about.
The winter now is past and gone.
the gentle spring is here, the whisky
seasons over and the buns are
drinking beer. The meadow lark
will soon be heard with soft and
mellow notes and the farmer man
will hump himself to SOW his wheat
and oats. The robin and the blue
bird will build their little nest and
the dude will scare the horses with |
his Dolly Warden vest. The house
wife now with mop and broom will |
clean the house full we'll, and the
man she svore to honor will wish he
was in-well, he will want 10 go
fishing.
y The new bridge to be erected by |
the N. P. over Lawyers canyon
about eigh, miles southwest of Nez-
perez will be the highest on the en-
tire Northern Pacific system. The
bridge will be built of steel and it
will be about mile long and the
rails 800 feet above the bed of the
creek. The piers for the found
alton Of the bridge are completed
md the bridge steel viii soon be de-
ivered at some convenient point TO
,e rushed to the front as soon as
rack laying is finished as far as the
bridge site. It is currently rumored
hat the N. P. will build their spur
nto Nezperce while the bridge is
icing built. If this is the company's
Intention II is safe to say that they
viii be running trains into Nezperce
,efore they are into any of the
,amas prairie towns. The Nez-
,erce spur would be about nine miles
n length and as there are heavy cuts
