to see who can make up the greatest
number Of these objects. either In given

Is unusually difficult. as there are no

The animals, or whatever the objects

pearance Of the objects in question aids
greatly in forming them.

Takes a Fall Out of Billy Sunday.

The editor of the Occur d Alene

about pulpit decorum which do not
seem to align exactly with Billy Sum

to refnafk as follows:
Billy Sunday is fearless in express
nights thoughts, and the language he
uses is rough and uncouth in many
respects, the veriest street slang per-
meating his utterances to such an ex-
tent that they must lose their force,

SOME 200 feet of the false work on

out by the recent ice gorge in the
Clearwater, causing loss of several
hundred dollars to the contractor.
The large tube shaped center supports,
which are five feet in diameter and
80 feet high, but had not been filled
with cement at the time of the acct
dent, withStood the mountains of ice

which makes assurance doubly sure
that they will stand all pressure that

EXPLAINS IRON ORE DEAL.

Atty +. ID. CULVER, of Lewis
ton, q. w. Thompson's right hand
man in the leasing of the Clearwater
iron ore lands, has the following state
ment to make regarding the intentions
of the proposed new company:
We propose to make extensive
examination For iron ore. We court
the fullest investigation and are willing
to give any information, now that we
have secured leases. We have every
reason to believe that iron ore under
lies this land, but it is purely a pros
pect. Surface indications show that
hard red hematite is to be found, but
it will cost S250,000 to determine
whetherl it is in merchantable guam
titles. With us are interested iron
ore capitalists of the Mesaba iron range
in Minnesota, who are willing to carry
on the prospecting from what they
have seen. Next spring iron ore
experts from the Mesaba range mines
will come here and we will put dia-
mond drills to work to determine if
the ore exists in paying quantities.
Iron ore must be developed in a
large body before capital is to be in
terested. We have only the mineral
rights on this land We can remove
no timber and have no rights if we
fail to discover the ore. The land is
partly covered with timber and is suit
able only for grazing purposes. Its
value is estimated at from 500 to
$500 an acre. If merchantable ore
is found in paying quantities it will
make Lewiston the Pittsburg of the
west, for structural steel for the entire
Pacific northwest will be made here.

THE Orohno cattle stealing and
shooting cases of the Carr-Reed fac
tons, savors very much of the Ken
lucky feudal difficulties in the matter
of bitterness and far surpasses them
IN the technical legal phases. Moore,
Reed, Sloan and Rice who were
charged with cattle stealing, were
hired upon by ID. T. Carr and son
and Henry Craig while attempting to
escape the Orohno officers and
Moore was killed and Reed and
Sloan were wounded. At first the
shooting seemed to find justification
IN the eyes of almost everybody, but
later the men were arrested charged
with murder, and the scrap has been
growing hotter every since. Last
week Judge Steele dismissed the
actions in the district court, but the
men were Immediately re-arrested and
taken before Justice Coburn, and the
preliminary hearing will be held to-
morrow. Daniel Needham, at the
time county attorney, refused to prose-
cute the case, contending that it was
prompted by spite and a desire for
revenge.

He Gave Them Latin.

: Once, before he was president, An.
drew Jackson was making a political
speech in some obscure campaign in a
backwoods Tennessee district. His ad.
dress was very we'll received, but
somehow there did not seem to be ex-
actly the enthusiasm wanted for the
occasion. Having vainly tried to
warm up his hearers, the general
was just going to sit down when the
chairman Of the meeting plucked him
by the0coattail. For the Lords sake,
general, give 'em some Latlnw he hur-
rledly whispered In the speakers ear
'"They won't think you know anything
at all If you quit like this Smith, the
opposition candidate, talked Latin to
'em half the evening""
Old Hickory rose to the situation.
Advancing to the edge Of the platform,
he extended his arm and .thundered
out: "E pluribus unum! Sic semper
tyrannis! Habeas corpus!'
The audience reared with applause.
The credit Of the orator was saved,
and the Jackson ticket won out in that

Harry, and family. Mrs. Harry
Lee is in poor health this summer
and the family are spending the
summer there in hopes the climate
will help her.
Mr.. Lee said the night train to
Walker is one of the most crowded
trains he ever rode on. This is
the Nj. & I. train north through Be-
midi. He did not have time to
engage a sleeper berth before leaving
St. Paul and found when he got
aboard that every berth was taken
so he had to sit up all night. We
mention the fact simply to show
what the M. & I. people are doing
with their night train up into this
