PERSISTENCE.

Nothing can take the place Of
persistence. Talent VII -aot; un-
successful men of talent abound.
Genius will not; unrewarded gen
ius is almost proverb. Education
will not: the world is full of edu-
Gated derelicts. Persistence and de-
terminat IN alone are onnipotent.

PRINCIPLE.

Every opportunity needs to be
looked at through the glass Of prin~
ciple. 1t may mean. apart from con-
science, chance Of money, social
position, power, but if it does not
pass muster morally it also means
loss. Conscience is a mans best pro-
tection.

Suffering is doubtless as divinely

thought. Samuel Smiles.

BUSINESS.

The salary in any business is not
the only nor, indeed, the first ques-
ton. That you should continue to
exist is a matter for your own con-
siderahon, but that your business
should be first honest and second
useful are points where honor and
morality are concerned Stevenson. !

Got Plenty Of Game.

A Grangeville dispatch to the
Lewiston Tribune has the follow
ing to say about Idaho county's
nimrods:
The hunting season for big
game ended November 80 and
parties of hunters numbering
from two to six men have been
coming into town the past two
days. Some of them brought
home the limit. while others had
a hard. luck story to relate.
Those who killed the limit said
they never saw so many deer,
and those who were unlucky
said the deer were scarce and
very wild. Among the success
full hunters were Robert Walker,
Allie Campbell and Joe Hazel
baker, who bagged two deer
each. They hunted near Adams
camp. John Powell and James
Bickford tried their luck on
Black Tail ridge and killed two.
]. /. Overman. Fen Batty, Fred
Corliss, Charles Lee and Fred
Shaw hunted near the Corliss
ranch in the Johns creek coun-
try and bagged six. E. l..
Sparks and John Howard, of
Thorp, secured three deer on
Mill Creek. Sam Wright, C. B.
Knorr, Ben Knorr, Harry Dob
ner and William Gotzinger climb
ed the breaks of the Little Sal
mon river and got one deer. G..
A. Johnson, Richard Hannah,
Will Hannah, Will Stillwell and
Will Smith hunted in the Johns
creek country. S. M. Crawford
nd Louis Tripplett. of lilo,
brought in two deer last night.
They hunted near Huckleberry
Springs, on the Florence road.
Gus Ulrich and ]. H. Barnes, of
Lewiston, took their annual hunt
on Meadow creek, across the
Clearwater, and got two fine
deer. John Callan and Mr..
Ramsdale hunted in the Big
Cove country. Mr.. Callan saw
one deer real close, but forgot to
shoot at it. He missed two that
he shot at, and MIR. Ramsdale
had the same luck.

PUT IN PRIVATE
WATER SYSTEM
Benedictine Monastery West of
Town Is Piping Fine Spring
Water From Cottonwood Butte
for Domestic Purposes.

Charles Norlin, the Lewiston
contractor, is now busily at work
putting in the water system at
St. Michael's Monastery west of
this city. The ditch for the pipe
was dug last summer by Mr..
Norlin's men after the extension
to the town water system was
completed. The pipe for the
monastery system reached here
last week from the east and the
work of laying it commenced
early this week. 1t will take
another week to complete the
laying of the pipe and owing to
the condition of the soil the pipe
line will not be covered until
next spring.
The new system for the mon
astery will be 1915 feet in length
and will have a drop of between
750 and 300 feet, providing an
enormous pressure. The water
is being taken from the large
spring on the former Fred Rustic
meyer claim near the top of Cot
tonwood Butte, which is known
far and wide as one of the purest
and finest springs of water in
this part of the state. Four inch
pipe will be used for a distance
from the spring and will then be
reduced to % inches. The water
will be used at the monastery
for domestic purposes, and when
the plant is completed it will be
one of the finest private systems
in the state.

Passenger Stuck In The Mud.

The local passenger train left
the track and got stuck in the
mud over in the "dobe" belt
about two miles this side of
Grangeville Tuesday morning
and did not get out and make
the trip down the line until yes
terday afternoon, thus shutting
US off from mail or passenger
service for two days. The train
has been bothered considerable
of late on account of the soft
condition of the track at several
places on the other side of the
prairie and a work train has been
hauling gravel there for a week
or so in an attempt to get the
track into shape to stand traffic
through the winter.
On Tuesday the engine and
tender left the track at one of
the soft places and mired down
completely, the baggage car also
leaving the rails. The work
train and a freight crew were
called into service to get the en-
gine back onto the track and by
hard work succeeded in doing so
yesterday morning.
After getting Strengthened out
again the train made the run to
Lewiston yesterday afternoon
and returned last night about
midnight.
1t is anticipated that further
trouble will be encountered on
the line through the "dobe"
country unless the ground freezes
soon.

Gem State Leads Them All.

Idaho beats all the American
states in the mildness of her
climate and the fertility of her
soil. In wheat, potatoes and
hay, she leads everything, and
for oats she has only one state in
the lead of her-the state of
Washington according to the
government year book.
In the average yield in wheat
per acre in bushels, Idaho comes
first with 27.2 and the state of
Washington second with %. 2 and
Oregon third with 20.2.
In the average yield of oats
the state of Washington comes
first with 49 bushels to the acre,
Idaho second with 44.5 and Illi-
nois third with 1866.
In the average yield in potatoes
Idaho is way in the lead with
200 bushels, Washington second
with ITO and Minnesota third
with lis per acre.
In the average yield for hay
Idaho comes first with 2.85 ton:
per acre, Washington seconC
with 2. and Oregon third with
2.O5.
Thus does Idaho maintain tht
standard of excellence in grain
hay and potatoes. The soil o.
Idaho is without peer any
where. .-Ex.

May Not Get Here Before Spring.

B. Gustad, manager of the
Grangeville electric light plant,
was in town Monday and left a
man here to work during the
winter remodeling the local plant
and extending the system in the
city. Machinery is now being
installed at the power plant on
the Clearwater and work there is
being rushed as rapidly as pos
sible but it will probably be early
spring before the company will
be in shape to take over the local
plant and provide both power
and light for this place.

IDAHO FRUIT
WINS PRIZES
Five Apples From Washington
County Carry off First Prize al
Chicago Apple Show---Were of
the Delicious Variety.

A special to The American
from Chicago dated November
"a says: Five apples that are
almost worth their weight in
gold form the proudest part of
the Washington county exhibit
of Idaho products which are at
tracing wide attention from
Chicago visitors to the United
States Land Irrigation exposition
in the big Coliseum. These five
apples took a $50 prize for the
finest single exhibit of Delicious
apples raised this year in the en-
tire country.
Eager. crowds gather every
day at the gaily decorated booth
of the Washington county exhibit
and listen to ]. A. Carr, of Coun-
Gil, tell about the biggest single
apple orchard in the world which
is being planted in Council valley
of Washington county.
"This orchard contains 1000
acres, of which 750 acres were
planted this year with one-year-
old Delicious apple trees" de-
clared Mr.. Carr today. ''Those
trees will produce two to four
boxes of the finest apples in the
world when they are five years
old and after they are year old
er they will begin to be good for
six boxes a year"
There are seventy-five varieties
of apples on exhibition in the
Washington county booth and
they form an array, that draws
the people from all parts of the
big hall to the south end of the
Coliseum where the booth is
splendidly located.
R.. E. Wilson, of Cambridge,
represents the exhibits of alfal-
ia, grain and fruits which show

opment of the beet sugar planta-
tions in Cambridge valley of
which he says 1000 acres were
planted with sugar beets during
the last summer.

Why Not?

1t has been locally suggested
that, in view of the soft condi-
ton of the railroad grade across
the prairie, the train schedule be
changed so that the trains would
operate only between Lewiston
and Cottonwood, and that a
handcar or some other light
vehicle be used to transport pas
sengers from the county seat to
this point to connect with the
train.

Farmer Finds Gold Near Town

Frank Gales was in town We'd
nesday with a sample of rock
taken from a we'll on his place
about three miles southeast of
town. The rock was of a very
hard black formation and con-
tanned small particles of gold
that could be seen with the naked
eye and when put under a mag
nifying glass showed quite a
sprinkling of color. 1t was esti-
mated that the rock might carry
values of from $75 to $10O to the
ton but owing to the character
of the rock it would have to be
treated by a cyanide process in
order to extract the gold. Mr..
Gales intends investigating the
find further and may develop
quite a mine on his farm.
