yonder, from the looks Of the black
smoke. I looked, and knew at once
that it was a cyclone and told the
people in the hotel of It. We were q
little excited naturally, and at once,
l realized that the rctel very likely
was doomed, as the cyclone was COM
ing directly towards us, and but a
little ways of. There was a vacant
lot across from the hotel and left
the hotel and ran towards the lot,
intending to throw myself down upon
it. I had gone but thirty feet, when
the cyclone passed over the corner of
the hotel, tearing off chimney, and
I stood dumbfounded as l saw the
work of destruction 60 on. About
$50 feet from me was huge elevator
with thousands Of bushels Of grain.
Imagine my horror when I saw the
elevator lifted up into the air a
hundred feet, turned upside down,
and deposited. roof down on the rail-
road tracks, a perfect wreck. I saw
a large two story frame house picked
up and disappear, it being torn all to
pieces, and carried of. The cyclone
was funnel shaped, and appeared to
be about rs feet across. 1t was as
black as ink. One fellow who was
in it, came out alive, but he was
plastered with mud from head to foot
was talking the next morning with
the servant girl who worked at the
Boyd home. You will remember that
Mrs. Boyd, the wife " one Of the
most prominent merchants, was kill
ed instantly by the cyclone. The
girl says that she and Mrs. Boyd
we're at home alone, and seeing the
funnel coming their way, ran from
the house, Mrs. Boyd exclaiming that
they would be killed. The girl qept
on running, but Mrs. Boyd must have
become bewildered ana turned back,
for she was struck by timber, and
killed instantly. The girl was struck
on the arm and back by timber
but not badly injured.

the county seat last Friday from
Kooskia, where he is now running
a big packing outfit for the O. R. &
N. Jeff has just returned from near
Mountain Home, Nevada, where he
purchased forty-two wild burros and
shipped them way around by Cape
Horn to Kooskia. The people
down there raise burros on the range,
for living, and you take them catch
as-catch-can, SO much per. They
cost him SIS a head uncaught,
and $50 laid down, or standing up,
at Kooskia. They are just packed
and started on the trail and soon
catch on to their job, and that is all
the breaking required. Their outfit
consists of some IS pack horses be-
sides the burros and saddle animals.
They are now doing the packing

miles above Kooskia He says it is
undoubtedly the intention of both the

The local option forces are all

tons calling for an election there are
being circulated all over that county.
And it's a cinch that grand old Nez
Perez will go as dry as the proverb-
ial bone yard Lewiston will prob
ably vote wet by good majority but
it cannot offset the vote from the rest
of the county. Many of the outside
districts have it i'm for Lewiston be-
cause of political deals that have
come up during the past several years,
and the way they will even up on old
grudges will bring tears to the eyes of
their friends, the enemy. The res
ervation country will also vote dry in
practically every precinct. 1t also
has some old grudges against Lewis
ton, but its principal fight will be
made with the aim of putting the en-
tire county on the same level with it.
self in regard to the liquor question,
that is, that liquor cannot be handled
except on a Bookkeeping basis. All
of the reservation towns realize the
importance of having their neighbor-

this leveling principle rather than
through any feelings regarding the
question at issue-Cottonwood Chron-

Fred Erskine and Raymond Beck
returned last week from Buffalo
Hump, where they went to survey
number of mining claims for Seattle
company, preparatory to patenting
same. Mr.. Erskine says things are
looking up very much in the Hump
and that number of capitalists are
looking over the country with view
to investing. The prospect of the
railroad down the Salmon river gives
encouragement that transportation will
soon be furnished the mining inter-

that has ever held it back; the min
eral is there in abundance, and of the
right kind.
Due to the activity in the recent
trouble between Director French,
who was dismissed, and President
Mclean and the U. of |. regents,
Professor R. Shinn of the horti-
cultural department and R. E. Hy-
slop of agronomy have also been
given their walking papers. As d.
rector of the school of agriculture
Prof. French established quite a repu-
tation throughout the state, but the
reputation was backed largely by wind.
During the years of his connection
with the u. of |. there is little to
show for his work around the station
and in our opinion the school will not
suffer in the least by his dismissal. 1t
is not likely either that the work of
the institution will suffer any by the
dismissal of the subordinates who
have SO seriously taken to heart the
dismissal of Prof. French. -Genesee

any other is the fact due that issue be-

Theodore Roosevelt. 1t was not reserved
for him TO be in office as president in
the development even of the first of these
great works. 1t has often happened
that one man sows and another reaps, a
fact l could not but feel when I stood
at the mouth of the Gunnison tunnel, a
tunnel six miles long, longer than any
irrigation tunnel in the world, and opened
the way for the water from the Gunni-

able valley, the Uncompahgre valley,
where thousands and thousands of acres
are to be made to blossom as the rose.
THE pursuit of that policy involves

Involves diligence and industry and 1t

passage of legislation well directed to-
