A long distance telephone message, an
accommodating friend and horse and
buggy proved winning combination for
Miss Madge Murch, for it was with their.
aid that she secured a valuable home
stead.
Miss Murch recently decided to file on
a quarter section clothed with valuable
timber, and, securing the number, she
started for the Lewiston land Office ready
to file. She learned that a man expected
to board the same train with the same
object in view. She decided to invoke
the aid of Lewiston friend. and calling
up Mrs. j. b. West of Lewiston on the
telephone, she explained her predicament
and invited help,
Mrs. West met Miss Mureh at the
train with a horse and buggy. The en-
try woman jumped into the buggy and
the horse was driven at breakneck speed
to the land office, where Miss Murch
announced her intention of filing on the
quarter, giving her section number TO
the register, who furnished her with the
blanks.
Just as she secured the papers a young
man entered the Office, exhausted by a
run from the depot and asked to file on
the same quarter section. He was two
minutes too late, as Miss Murch had
won.-Lewiston cores. Anaconda Stand

Football VS.. Bullfights.

When DIR. David Todd, professor Of
astronomy at Amherst, returned from
the lofty plateau of the Andes where he
had taken his observations, he paused
for relaxation in the Capuan gardens Of
Lima. There he was inveigled on Sunday
into a visit to the great bull ring to see
what a toreador looked like outside the
cast of Carmen" He carefully slurred
over any account of the Staying of the
bull, but remarked: sit may be interest

A Wedding in Steel.

For years says the Iron and Coal
Trades Review, the steel industry has
confidently expected to see q fulfllment
of the prediction made long ago that
"the open-hearth process will go to the
funeral of the Bessemer." Recent de-
velopments indicate rather clearly that

of funeral, a vastly more happy occur

gaining in favor, and the details are be-
