A Wise Old Doc.

A pretty anecdote of dog IL given
to Sir C. ]. +. Bunbury's Diaries and
Correspondence" II was told by Sir
George Napier.
When the British army was in the
south Of France after the battle Of
Toulouse, Sir George and several 9th
err officers visited the house Of n gen
tleman who had very fine dog, a
poodle. The dog had been trained to
receive food only when offered 1t by
the right hand, and the gentlemen
amused themselves with testing his
steadiness In this respect and found
that he constantly refused to take
bread from the left hand. But when
he came to Sir George, who, having
lost his right arm, of course offered the
bread with his left hand, the dog look.
ed earnestly at him and accepted the
bread. Then the other officers tried to
deceive him by Disgusting themselves
30 as to appear to have lost the right
arm, but the dogs sagacity was moi
to be bafiled, and he steadily refused
TO take bread from the left hand ex
cept from the one who was really one
| handed.

several parties having filed placer
claims upon it. The residents OF
the town have no title but the right

picks out his building site and goes

claims of the rival disputants for
the town site. AS there are no
streets and alleys the town is

of the buildings give evidence of

residents of the town to hold up

Metaline, the famous silver-lead
camp of northeastern Washington
is located about sixty-five miles
north of Newport, the town Of that
name being about II miles from
the British Columbia line. The
Pend d'Oreille river flows through
the district and many small
streams come from the mountain
heights and lakes which will pro-
vide the necessary power for the
development of the camp. Among
the larger creeks are Sullivan,
Flume and Sweet creek. Sullivan,
the larger Of the creeks, is the ont
let of Sullivan lake and is in itself
capable of supplying an almost
unlimited amount of power.
The land directly west of Meta
line has not as yet been surveyed
by the government. 1t comprises
large tracts of valuable timber and
much of it has been squatted upon
ny people VINO are PatlentIy await
ing the time when the govern
ment survey will be made and they
be given an opportunity to file on
their holdings. On the east side
of the river all the territory to the
Idaho and British Columbia lines
is included in the Priest River
National Forest.
The mountains in the Metaline
district are the highest in this sec
ton. Mount Linton. directly west
of town rises to a height of 5000
fdet above the river and is yet nn-
capped. North of town are peaks
that tower to even greater heights.
