KEEPS BODY OF
 HIS DEAD WIFE
Grief Husband At AshviIIe Will Not Permit
 Her Burial.

ASHEVILLE, N. C., March 6.-W. c. Gray, of Edgerton, Mass, who came here some time ago and took a villa for the season, has been shut up in his house for two weeks with his dead wife's body and refuses to leave 1t. He had his wife's body em0aImed, and spends almost the entire time by the side of the corpse. He says he is not going to be separated from her, even by death. All efforts to comfort him by his neighbors have been refused. He refuses admittance to all visitors Crepe was put on the house by him the day his wife died, and he will not allow it to be removed. He has al- most become distracted by grief His young son, who is with him, has inter ceded in behalf of their neighbors. The old man replies:
 They didn't come to see her when Gray, of EdgertofetaGln taoin etaoin she was sick and they can't cOne now"
 He is hysterical at times, and sits for hours by the coffin weeping. He says he will take the body back to their old home in Massachusetts,, when the winter season has passed in the North, and that he will not allow it to be buried until the frost is out of the ground. --z4a-.-------------,-----...-
 Mrs. Gray died of pulmonary con gestion on Thursday night, Feb. II. The house was at once closed, crepe hung on the door, and an undertaken summoned who was instructed to clothe the body in fine raiment and place it in the most expensive casket that he could obtain After this was done, no one but son and daughter were allowed admittance. The inter est of the neighbors was aroused by the fact that the front door of the house had been draped with crepe for two weeks.
 Gray, who is about G. years of age, becomes violent when any suggestions are made to him about the disposal of the body. During the daytime he leaves the body only to take slight nourishment. and most of the nights he spends in lonely vigils by the casket.

More Carey Land.

At a state land board meeting
last week, application was made by
the Idaho Irrigation company Of
the Big Wood irrigation project for
the opening Of 10000 acres Of Carey
act land under the canal system
being developed by the company
in Lincoln county.
While the matter is not entirely
settled so far as the details are con
cerned, the board has agreed to
make contract with the company
for the opening desired. w D.
Boone OF Haley and Charles Hern-
sheim Of New York, both of the
company, appeared before the board
in person and made the application.
n. nj. Rulck appeared as their at
torney.
The time has not been set for the
opening Of the land, and the actual
contract has not yet been made,
but the land board has agreed to
the contract on the showing made
by the company. The company
has done an immense amount of
work, SO that some of the land can
probably be reached by water this
season. 1t is a very large project,
one Of the largest in the west, and
one that promises to mark an epoch
in the irrigation Of the once arid
west.

BUNKER HILL DIVIDEND.
The Big Wardner Mine Discusses
Regular Monthly Amount,

Last Saturday the Bunker Hill
and Sullivan Mining company de-
clared its regular monthly dividend
of $1S0,000, making total Of $780,
600 disbursed to its stockholders
since January l this year, and a
total Of $8,766.0oo paid in divi-
dends by the company.
When the mill capacity of this
great mine is.increased to treat the
tonnage that can be mined, it is
estimated by those familiar with
the property that the present divi-
dends can almost be doubled. The
present mill facilities are disgrace
and farce to such a property.

acres, is 80 miles long and for
more than seven miles it has Il
width of about two miles.
Near the headgates and dam
plans are being made for tree
planting and otherwise beautify-
ing the shores. Lands bordering
the lake will later be watered by
means OF pumps, thus increasing
the ATTRACTIONS of the lake.
The fish commission will be
asked to stock the lake with fish.
Already ducks and geese in large
numbers are making their sum
mer headquarters there. The
country about the lake, until the
advent OF the reclamation service
about three years ago, was an
uninhabited desert. Today a
population OF 10000 is living
there. Three thriving towns have
sprung up and a new railroad
has been constructed.
The Minidoka project promises
to become one Of the most thick
ly agricultural districts in the
state, and Lake Walcott will
doubtless in time be a popular
summer resort for people living
in thatpart Of Idaho.

State Will Sell You A Farm.

After receiving the report OF
Land Appraiser Day on his ac-
ton in leasing state lands
through southern Idaho, the
state land board has clothed him
with even more ample powers to
lease and to select state lands.
There has been a good deal Of
red tape method in handling the
business, part of which has now
been cut way, and it is now pos
sible for the accrediting agent Of
the state to do business III the
field, that once required CORE
spondence to close up.
MIR. Day will have the sanction
of the land board to arrange
any one who knows of a piece of
unappropriated land, which he
considers worth the states mini
mum price OF $40 per acre, to file
on this land for the state and
hold a sale whereby the applicant
can buy at once. Where an APP
'plicant has used his land rights,
or does not care to file on land
as a homestead and so tie him
self down for a number of years,
some of these small tracts are
we'll worth acquiring in this man.
ner. The state sells the lands on
such easy terms that it may be
cheaper to buy small tracts this
way than to file on them and live
out homestead requirements.
The state has many thousand
acres to select from to fill out the
land grants given by the national
government for special funds, such
as the industrial school, the normal
schools and other state institutions,
and is very DESTROYS of closing up
these selections as soon as possible.
Wherever land can be found in
even small subdivisions that will
bring as much as the minimum
price of $40 per acre, the state is
ready to select and designate lands
and sell them to the applicant

Give Her a Monument.


About every school boy ia the
country who has read anything
OF American history knows OF
Sergeant Moll Pitcher. The title
OF sergeant is used without any
quotation marks, because she
earned it. Mol Pitcher was the
wife Of a soldier in the continent
al army. At the battle Of Mon
mouth, June %, 1878, her hus-
band was killed by British bull
let while in the act of firing a
cannon. Moll Pitcher saw it,
and at once took her dead hus-
bands place, serving the cannon
throughout the battle. Wash
ington saw the performance. He
praised her for her courage and
commissioned her a sergeant Of
the continental army.
Recently the Pennsylvania le-
gislature was asked by a number
OF the patriotic societies to give
ten thousand dollars for the cree
ton OF a monument over the
grave marked "Moll Pitcher" in
the old cemetery at Carlisle, in
Cumberland county. 1t was a
question of nationality and
Identification that beat the bill.
Most American historians have
written Moll Pitcher up as an
Irish woman, who left her home
in the highlands of the Hudson
to acquire fame on Monmouth
field. One OF the members of the
legislature, who apparently does
not believe in spending money on
monuments, quoted what he con
sidered good proof that the Mol
Pitcher buried at Carlisle was d
German woman. He did not
question her being the heroine
who served the gun at Mon
mouth. But the historians said
she was Irish, and his informa-
ton was that the woman the
Legislature wanted to put the
monument over was German.
This created what in these days
would be called a reasonable
doubt-too much of doubt to
admit OF spending so much
money.
Regardless OF thesergeant's ma
tionality, whether she was of
Irish or German extraction, the
general opinion is she was a pref
ty good American above all else,
and if the woman buried at Carl
isle is, or was Mol Pitcher, "the"
Mol Pitcher, she ought to have
a monument anyhow.

$4,000. saying the ruler Of a demo
cratic country did not need that
amount to live on, and it should not
be taken from the pockets Of the PEG
pie for such a use.
He vigorously ridiculed the admin

lenged the republican members Of the
senate to name even one little trust
that Roosevelt had so much as tanned.
