A writer In tho Mining West.
well known publication. takes a Ions
draw at the pipe OF fancy and indites
tho following legend about Pocatello;
Nearly every traveller over tho ov-
erland route TO tho coast passes
through the town OF Poeatello. one
OF the thriving cities OF Idaho. This
place is among the historical spots OF
tho intermountain country,
The site OF Pocatello long before
II was made n white mans town was
the camping ground OF the Bannock
Indians, And even down 10 the preH-
ent time. II ls one of the favoriato
places OF tho red man, Within short
distances OF the town are numerous
hot springs.
The place was named for once
well known Bannock chief--Pocatel-
10. This particular spot was his own
hunting grounds and one well known
hot spring he claimed as his own.
This spring was near tho base OF
Bannock mountain and the willy old
chief no doubt, copying after white
men with whom he had experience.
exacted from the Indians OF his tribe
and from others AS well. tribute
whenever they saw III TO use the
wonderful waters OF tho spring
Among tho Indians the spring was
noted for Its great medicinal quail
ties II was accredited with being
sure panacea for cramps, colics,
rheumatism and other complaints too
numerous 10 mention.
Each Indian using the waters OF
this spring for bathing purposes was
required 10 pay to Pocat.llo one
beaver tail for each bath, and II tho
bathers desired TO enjoy the waters
to the fullest extent from sun 10
SUM-" he could soak himself In the
waters OF the spring for an entire
beaver skin.
Years rolled on and Pocatelio be-
came old and decreplt. II was
claimed by some that he lived for
more than hundred years When
he became almost helpless and the
Indians found that the wonderful
spring water did not renew his youth
they became dissatisfied with the ex-
hShoHh III inc way OF tribute that ne
had 70 long demanded from them
They decided To make him test the
efficiency of the celebrated spring,
They placed him astride his horse and
taking him to the spring they threw
him bodily in determined TO give him
. long, good soak that would cure
him OF his feebleness
The details of this last bath OF Po-
catello are clouded In the misty and
obscure legends OF the remaining
Bannocks, but II is said that after he
was placed In the spring he was de-
serted and n few days later when the
spring was sought no trace of him
or his remains could be found, nor
has he appeared since then.
Pocatello, the city which perpetu.
a1cd the name OF the noted chief. Is
one Of the livellest western towns. It
is In the center of rich agricultur-
al district, the resources OF which are
fast being developed.

Salem judge Upholis City Ordinance
Protecting Legitimate Real Estate
DcalcrB.

Judge Burnett made an important
ruling yesterday affecting tho city
ordinance relative 20 the licensing or
real estate brokers. The rule an.
nounced was In tho case OF s. Page.

ton against defendant for a real es-
tate commission amounting TO $780,

or appeared by his attorneys. John
II. and c, l., McNary, and filed an
answer alleging among other things
that the sale was made within the
corporate limits OF Salem. and that
the plaintiff had not complied with
the city ordinance In that no failed
to procure license to sell real css
tate and therefore could not main
tain an action TO recover his commits
sion
The plaintiff. through his attorney,
Mr.. Pogue. filed a demurrer to the
answer upon the ground that tho or
dinance was defective in that the
legislation did not delegate the au-
thority TO the city to impose a tax
upon real estate brokers and that the
ordinance imposed tax rather than
a license
The case was argued some time ago
and taken under advisement and de-
clded by the court yesterday. The
demurrer was overruled which holding
sustains the city ordinance and makes
II legally impossible for n real estate
man to recover his commission unless
he has a license from the city.
The validity OF the ordinance has
been questioned for some time, but
yesterdays ruling removes all doubt.
The decision Is body blow 10 the

BUILDING INTO CANADA.
Great Northern Reaching Out In Up
per Columbia River District.

GfeaA NOftncfH hcztE1uHg OuL LII up
per Columbia River District.
A dispatch from Wenatchee says of
the Great Northern g proposed rail-
road line to Canada:
Apparently reliable information has
come to Wenatchee that the Great
Northern contractors are at work
grading for railroad near the Cana
dian line on the west side from
C2overdale. The road has been grad
& e distance Of about SO miles west
~ Cloverdale, and the grading and
bridging crews are now working west
from Sumas up the Nooksack river.
The intention of the Great North
err Is 10 pass through the Cascades
at the pass at the head of Slate creek
then descend on this side down the
Method river.
Following the course of the Meth
ow river to where 1t flows into the
Columbia, the road will follow the
Columbia down to Wenatchee. From
the mouth Of the Method, north to
the Canadian line, another branch
will be built.
The preliminary surveys for the
line along the Columbia river from
Wenatchee were made last summer
and 1t is expected that this action
bears out the conjectures the people
had at that time.

This phrase originated with a poor
slave. 1t was prophecied Of king,
and the prophecy was fulfilled. When
Ancaeus was king OF Samos, In the
Grecian Archipelago, he planted an
extensive vineyard. and oppressed his
slaves SO heavily In its cultivation
that one OF the bolder ones prophesied
that he would never live to taste any
OF the wine.
The king laughed and had the slave
beaten. Then, at last, when the wine
was made. he sent for the slave to
witness him drink the first glass OF it
In order to show him that the proph-
ecy was false. When the servant ap-
peared, the king. raising the glass Of
liquor, said. What do you think Of
your prophecy now?'
There's many slip, 'twixt cup and
lip" was the answer. The words were
scarcely uttered when Ancaeus was
Informed that q wild boar had broken
into the vineyard and was running It.
Dropping the wine untasted, the king
fastened to the scene to drive out tho
boar, but he was killed In the encoun-
ter, and the slaves prophecy was full
filled.-Home Herald.
