We may be certain that few men-n any men at an-can write
their best, or nearly their best, with wine busy in their brains. He who
should try this burns the candle at both ends, but without producing a
brilliant illumination. Now, this is a strong proof that the wit goes
out when the wine comes in. Perhaps some scientific man of letters
will try writing an article while he drinks a bottle of champagne, and,
after reading it next morning, will tell us what he thinks of il. He
probably will have to confess that the wit has been driven out by the wine.

that it has been my privilege to sign a bill prohibiting public corpora

given by the legislature the privilege of signing a bill ~forbidding the con-

There is one kind of public career, however, which is to-day absolutely
closed to the man of moderate means. No poor ma can hope to become
an ambassador of his country in a foreign capital. The salary paid by
the United States is rdicuously inadequate to the needs of the position.
The pnsimony of the United States in failing to provide the means by
which a poor mn can maintain the dignity of the position of ambassa-
dor is not economy-it is hypocrisy. James Bryce, a man of modest for
tune, thanks to the liberal policy of the British government can rep
resent his country in Washington. The same man could not afford to
represent the United States at the court Of st. James, nor could another

NEW MACHINE FOR
FINE RIVER GOLD
Representative Weaver Of e.
more Brings Party Here
for Trial Run.

Probably one of the most impor
tant inventions of the age in tht
mining world and one that is des,
tined to save large share of the
floating gold in the Snake as well
as other western rivers, is the one
which is to be introduced in Boise
by F. e. Wilson of the Wilson
Hardware Company of Boulder,
Colo, and G. P. Oliver, promi.
nent mining man of this state and
former sheriff OF Elmore county,
who arrived in the city yesterday,
and expects to establish perma.
nent headquarters here; and in the
future tn " may be influential in
the installation of factory to
manufacture the G. A. LaPoint
Flour Gold separator.
Both men are we'll known in the
mining world and come to Boise
with the intention OF introducing
the invention, which has been
thoroughly tested and found to be
perfectly satisfactory in every par
ticular. They will have several OF
the machines sent here and if
ground can be obtained on the
Boise river near this city, will have
them installed there 80 as to dem.
onstrate how the gold saver works
when in practical use. For some
time past model has been expert
mented with along sand bars on
the Snake river and Ii has been a
success in every way. Should the
demonstrations meet with approval
by miners in this section it is quite
probable that a manufacturing
plant will he erected here to take
charge of the output of machines
to be used in the north west. They
are now manufsc ctured in Denver
When seen this morning by
representative Of the Capital News,
Messrs. Wilson and Oliver stated
hat the LaPoint Flour Gold Sepa-

Instead of the -four gold being per-
mltted to float off with the water as
heretofore, it is checked and precip.
itated to the floor of the table by
an undercnrrent caused by the &C.
tion OF the water in striking the
concave surface of the rifles. The
Brussels carpet on the floor Of the
table catches and holds the fine
gold. An apparatus for cleaning
gold from the carpet has been per.
fected and is included with each
machine. With the use OF this de.
vice clean.ups can be made in from
three to five minutes.
TESTS have been made along the
Snake river in southern Idaho for
a distance of 150 miles or more,
This locality was selected because
of the known existence of the finest
-four gold in the world in gravel
and sand of the stream. MANY
thousands OF dollars have been ex.
pended in this placer country in
the vain effort to force the gravel
to give up its wealth. Nothing was
gained as a result until the tests
were made by the -four gold saving
machine.
THE results have been marvel.
ous Old mining men whom [
have known for years, could not be.
lieve their eyes when tests were
made along the river. To satisfy
themselves they began panning the
tailings, but try as they would

for it, we allow thorough test

Unexpectedly Wednesday after
noon, and the judge and several
attorneys left town not to re-

on that day, it will at once take
up the only criminal case that
is now left for trial, that of
James R. Clark, who is up for

with intent to kill.
The next case set is that of
W. H. Ridenbaugh VS.. R. S.

lowing that is to come the case
of Gust Gunderson VS.. A. A.

After the first course had been
served, Mrs. Wassem announced
that the next course would be

party left and at Mrs. SWANS
refreshed themselves with sher-
bet, cake and a cup of tea. The
next course was at the home of
Mrs, W. H. Wilson and again

the stay was a little longer and

the refreshments. At six the

being sustained. 1t is under
stood, however, that the case
will be carried up to a higher

but on account of the wide ac-
