II is Queer Substance Endowed With
Peculiar Properties.
One Of the great advantages of glyc-
erin in its chemical employment Is the
fact that 1t neither freezes nor evap-
crates under any ordinary tempera-
ture. No perceptibe loss by evapora
ton has been detected at tempera-
ture less than 200 degrees r.. but If
heated intensely it decomposes with a
smell that few persons find themselves
able to endure. 1t burns with a pale
fame, similar to that from alcohol, if
heated to about 300 degrees and then
ignited. Its nonevaporative qualities
make the compound of much use as
vehicle fer holding pigments and col
ors as in stamping and typewriter rib
bons,, carbon papers and the like,
If the pure glycerin be exposed for a
long time to freezing temperature it
crystallizes with the appearance of
sugar candy. but these crystals being
once melted 1t is almost an impossi-
bility to get them again into the con-
gealed state. If little water be add
ed to the glycerin no crystallization
will take place, though under a sufi-
cient degree of cold the water will
separate and form crystals. amid which
the glycerin will remain in its natural
state of fluidity. If suddenly subject
ed to intense cold pure glycerin will
form a gummy mass which cannot be
entirely hardened or crystallized. AL.

Play Is as Good For Grown Persons as
For Children.
Play is just sas necessary to keep
a grown man young and middle aged
man from growing old as it is to make
child grow into man. Words
worth's lines are as sound physiology
as good poetry:
My heart leaps up when | behold
The rainbow in the sky.
So was it when my life began;
So be it when | am man
Or let me die.
In childhood we play because we
are young, in middle age we are
young because we play. and if we
keep it up we shall never know that
we are old until we are one day sud
denly dead. Yet the absurd idea has
grown up, and Mrs. Grundy has adopt
ed it with her usual fatuousness, that
play is something undignified in a
grown man and unbecoming in lady.
And this unfortunately is one of the
rare instances where thinking makes

belief in the uselessness of exercise
for half a decade or SO and become

then the contortions that he indulges
in when he decides to unbend and try
to play furnish considerably more en-
tertainment to spectators than to him

A PIONEERS
77TH BIRTHDAY
Mrs. A. |. Watson, Indian War
Pioneer, Observes Ami
versary With Friends.

Seventy-seven years is good long
time to live, even in this reasonably
pleasant and desirable world, but a
40-years continuous residence in one
locality, and that in the new and un-
developed west, is a much more re-
markable record. But such is the ex-
perience of Mrs. A. l. Watson, resi-
dent of this city and mother of
Mrs. Cyrus Overman, at whose home
she now resides, and at which place
she last Saturday celebrated her
birthday anniversary, surrounded by
children, grand children, and great
grand children and numerous friends.
many of whom have been her neigh
bors and co-laborers for the greater
part of the past forty years. Mrs.
Watson passed through the Neg
Perce Indian war in 1877, along with
the many other pioneer vicissitudes
and experiences, at which time they
suffered the loss of home and consid4
cradle property by the raiding red
skins, but were thankful to escape
with their lives.
On last Saturdays occasion, how
ever, the unpleasant memories of the
past were swept away in the happi
ness of the present. The program
was informal. being a gathering OF
old-time friends who needed no In
Productions or suggestions of topic
for conversation. A delicate two
course luncheon was served. repre-
senting everything delicious and sat-
isfying, which was enhanced by the
tasty table decorations of pink and
white sweet peas and other garnish-
ments in keeping. The occasion was
one of enjoyment and renewal of old
friendships which will long occupy d
sacred spot in the memories of all
present. Those present were
Mrs. Maria e. Watson, Mrs. Ellen
e. Roby, Mrs. Angeline Taylor Mrs.
Belle j. Smith, Mrs. Margaret Tel
cher, Mrs. Nancy Jones-Cook, Mrs

tha Taylor-Wann, Mrs. Alice M. Over

EARL FAeAN ACQUITTED.

The case of Earl Pagan, charged
with taking $40 from fellow lodger
at the Arlington hotel, was tried in
Probate Judge Jaques' court last Fri
day, with Prosecutor Gilmore stand
ing for the state and Mcdonald &
Greenough appearing for the defense.
Young Pagan was acquitted, the tes-
timony offered by the state being
strong but entirely circumstantial,
and this was broken into by the evi-
snce of the mother of the young
defendant, who swore that she gave
the son the $40 bill which it was
shown by the prosecution he had
spent on the base ball excursion to
Cottonwood, the day following the
loss of the money. Judge Jaques de-
livered the boy lecture on his un-
seemly ways after his acquittal.

FINE HAY FIELD,

Fen Batty has on display large
size camera photo taken of the 200
acre timothy ranch owned by he and
A. F. Parker, which lies just east Of
town. The picture was taken by
Hanson & Parker while Mr.. Batty
was doing up things in a rush last
Friday, and shows the hay-cut where
the yield runs easily two or more
tons to the acre, with nine mowers
and teams, three rakes ard eleven
shockers at work. The 200 acres
were put up last week, the greater
part of the work being done Friday
and Saturday, when the large force
of men named were at work. VIM.
VonBerge is at work this week with
his large baler getting the fine crop
in shape for storage or shipment.
This field has been seeded but two
years and shows something of what
Camas Prairie, the home of over
grown timothy, is capable of doing,
even in dry season.

NEW ELECTRIC
LIGHT HOME
New Brick City Office and
Sub-Station-Also I'm
proving Dam.

The new electric light firm is get
ting busy redeeming promises made
at the time of purchase of the local
plant, that extensive and costly i'm
provements would be made by them
within the year, reaching the snrg
sum of $50, 900 to $50, 1000.
AS soon as plans and specifica-
tions are received work will be COM
menced on the construction of a sub
stantial two-story brick building, east
of the Imperial hotel, at the corner
of Main and Meadow streets, the
front of which will be used for offices
and the rear as a sub-station, while
the upstairs will be occupied as a
residence by Manager Gustad The
dimensions of the structure will be
30xS5 feet and to cost, it is said, be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000.
The company now has some TWEEN
ty men at work at the power site,
where the ditch is being extended
some 1400 feet, and all necessary inn
provements are being made to in
crease the power and utility of the
plant. When completed the capacity
will be increased $50 horse power,
making a total of 500 horse power
The company will then supply cleo
trical force for Cottonwood, where
they recently purchased the lighting
plant. The work on the erection of
the poles and wire between Grange
vile and Cottonwood will soon be
commenced, an adequate force of
men being employed to complete the
work with dispatch.

SEWER SYSTEM
BEING PUSHED
Sixty Men Now at Work; Will
Be 100 Next Week
Good Progress.

That the contracting firm which is
putting in the new sewer system has
taken the matter seriously and mean
to complete the work on schedule
time is evidenced by the business like
manner in which they are going at
the job.
There are now some sixty men at
work, and some forty more will be
brought in from outside points within
the next few days to add impetus to
the movement.
Several carloads of pipe and other
supplies have been received; over
5000 feet of excavation have been
completed; LOO feet of pipe have
been laid and several man-holes put
in.
The sewer committee has selected
c. A. Parsons as superintendent of
construction and Walter H. Hill is
engineer in charge-a good working
team.
There has been considerable objec-
tion raised by the public to the char
acter of brick being used in the man
holes, and they are poor enough. But
while the contract calls for hard
brick, it also requires that they be
cemented only on one side. 1t is
claimed that in using the brick now
on the ground the precaution will be
taken to cement them both inside and
out, making them impervious to water
and thus insuring their lasting quail
tiles.

Perry, the Packer, Says Work
on Cutoff is Now
Under Way.

VIM. Perry, of KooskIa, who has
been packing into the mountains for
several years and just had occasion
to cross the line into Montana, after
supplies for the Black Lead mines,
says the N. p. r. r. company are at
work on the Montana side and the
work looks as though it was perman-
ent. There are already several miles
of the road bed in shape for the
steel when the company gets ready to
lay it. Every indication points for
ward to the fact that a road will be
built up the Clearwater the coming
year and we have no doubt but that
this year will see some work done on
this side of the Lolo pass as the win
ters being light on the river work
could go on without stopping and
then that would put the railway peo-
pie up near the snow next summer
