We Clip the Following from
the Los Catos, Mail.
"Seth D. Jones, OF Idaho county.
Idaho, arrived here Tuesday in
time to attend the funeral Of his
father-in.law, Robert Larimer.
He will remain several weeks to
assist Mrs. Lsrimer in settling up
the estate here. Mr.. Jones made
the Mail q pleasant call yesterday,
and in the course of conversation
it transpired that he was acquainted
with two Idaho gentlemen, James
and Thomas Surridge, who lived
on an adjoining farm to the writer
away back in Michigan when all
were boys together. Also that
when Mr.. Larimer was elected to
the Idaho senate few years ago
his Democratic opponent was Mr..
James Surridge, who has since
been elected to the legislature of
bis adopted state. He states that
both the Surridge boys are gen.
tlemen OF wealth and influence.
The writer saw James nine years
ago on the occasion Of his visit to
Michigan at the time Of the death
OF his father.''

Binding Irvine.

The following clipping from
the Lawrence World, of Kansas,
might be interesting reading to
those who contemplate buying
Binder Irvine, as it shows the diff
ference in cost Of good and poor
Irvine.
1t takes two and three-quarter
feet Of Irvine to bind an average
bundle of wheat. Suppose you
have fifty acres to cut and bind.
How much do you need? From
our experience we would say that
there would be about %, 900
bundles in all, and it would take
60, $50 feet of Irvine to bind it.
How many pounds Of Irvine will it
take to give 63, $50 feet? 1t de-
ponds on the Irvine. II it runs an
average of sos feet to the pound it
will require about 1875 pounds: if
it runs 450 feet it will require 14O
pounds; and if it runs only 400
feet it will require 1913 pounds.
If at the same price per pound
was asked for all the differ
emit kinds Of Irvine, you would see
at once that it is far cheaper to
buy 1875 pounds to get the same
number of feet, than it is to buy
14O pounds or 1913 pounds, but the
smart dealer, in order to make
you think his Irvine is cheapest,
will ask you half cent per pound
less for the short kind. Then
the question comes as to which is
really the cheapest. Let us see:
Suppose that the 500 foot Irvine
sold for 12c per pound, 1876 pounds
would cost SO; if the others sold
for one-half cent a pound less, lao
pounds would cost SIC. 10, and 1853
pounds would cost Sl8.18, conse.
quently it would be Clio cheaper
to buy the sos foot Irvine at the
higher price, per pound, than the
one kind, and 1918 cheaper than
the other kind.
In other words, Irvine il cheap
or dear, depending on it's length
per pound. What you are inter.

Coode Not Insane.

George w. Goode, who was up
for insanity Saturday, was pro.
nounced by the medical examiners
as sane and is now at large. In
the past George has usually
freely INDUCED in some pretty
spicy remarks regarding the people
who gave evidence against, but
Saturdays hearing was an excep-
ton. A number Of witnesses gave
in evidence regarding Georges
mental condition but there was
nothing to show that he was insane.
From the evidence one would
conclude he could stand a good big
shock of the ooh be Joyful" and
strychnine was, according to the
language OF the defendant, Soon
sidered the best of medicine"
Witnesses stated that he had acted
in a peculiar manner at times, had
spoken OF seeing things when there
was no object in sight and that he
was addicted to the use OF liquor to
excess.
Mike Hanley, q son Of Erin, in
his testimony before the examiners,
brought joy to the spectators and
even the stern face Of the judge
was framed in sunny smiles when
Mike made replies to the interrog-
ator. Mike spoke of time when
defendant told him of having
fought a duel and said he judged
from his remarks that the other
party to the affair was "shot all to
pieces. When asked whether or
not he was himself under the in
fluence Of liquor he allowed cit
was immateriaP' to the prosecuting
attorney.
After considering the evidence
and physical examination the ex-
aminers declared Goode of sound
mind and he was discharged by
the probate judge. Mr.. Goode says
he will resume his practice Of law
in Cottonwood shortly and hence
forth leave liquor alone. There is
good in all men and the subject Of
this sketch is not an exception.
II he carries out his resolution OF
leaving liquor alone there will be
no friction between him and the
citizens Of Cottonwood. His cue.
cess and redemption lies within his
power.
