Mr.. K. D. Williams has pur-
chased the 16-inch turbin from
the owners of the old stamp mill
two miles up Jordan creek, known
as the old Steen mill. Mr.. Will
liams will install this turbin at
his most excellent power site at
Robinson Bar, and develop pow

ner. With little expense MIR.
Williams can secure 100 foot fall

There are other mines of same
character of ore in the Packer
neighborhood, but not developed
as yet to any great extent.
The road to Loon Creek is now
"out of sight, and will remain so
until May or later. The road
from Loon to Custer was in fine
shedding condition up to holi-
days. Then month of snow
laid an embargo. A big sled
load of young folks came over to
the Christmas festivities and got
back before the storm. Miss
McCallum, Of Mackay, the school
teacher, and Miss Westerholm,
were of the party. Miss Nc
Callum's school house is at the
extreme end of the educational
route. She is up against the
wilderness. Beyond in a north
west course, for how far nobody
seems to know, there is an al
most unknown, unexplored reg
ion of wilds inhabited only by
the ghosts of once happy Sheep
eater linens, now departed.
While the Loon Creek school
may not have as many scholars
as the Challis Academy. they
probably learn as much and

teacher a medal of honor.

Newspapers for women are springing up in several of the larger towns. and the women are to be seen moving about in the streets with much greater freedom than hitherto
 But step has been taken in Canton that for China Is far more significant. SomeChinese who had been to Burmah and had observed that the women there are successful traders and in- dustrial managers. on returning to Canton decided to try how Chinese women could handie an enterprise of her own.
 The outcome IS that n restaurant has been opened Tn a suburb of Cantor without single man on the premises. t Is d large place. run and controlled in every particular by women. and all
