ELLISON D. SMITH.

Postal Inspector Roy E. Nelson has
unearthed a systematic robbery of the
United States mails in Boise postoiiice,
which is believed to have been gong
on for several weeks past The most
startling fact in connection with the
discovery is that a lad 10 years of age
was at the head of the scheme, Inc
boy, Willie Conklin, when apprehend-
ed disclosed the names of several oth-
er boys who were his associates In the
crime, some of whom were even young
er than himself Their plan was TO
hang around the main corridor of the
postoffice and watch for careless people
who often leave their keys in their lock
boxes after taking their mail there
from. After such persons had lett the
building the boys would steal the Key,
noting at the time the number OF the
box. Securing thus few keys, the
boys would regularly visit the post
Office and take from the boxes LOT
which they had keys. all the mail mat
ter which they might contain, from
which they would select such letters
and parcels as had the appearance OF
containing Valuables or money ana
would take them to some secret place
and tear them open.
Formal complaint will be made
against the boys by Inspector Nelson
IN limited States Commissioner HalYer-
son The seyerest penalty that can be
imnosed upca the lads for this offcnse
Is to sentence them to the reform
school.

Busiest Doctor in the Valley

In the matter of furnishing new
recruits to the population the
Golden Valley appears to be doing
its share-holding its Gown, at
least. On Thursday Of last week
the stork alighted at the home of
S. L. Kleve, at Carlyle, and left a
fine girl baby. On Friday the old
bird was up north Of the city at
the home of Lie Smith and left
with Mrs. L. P. Calender Of
Trotters a lusty man child. Tues
day he was at P. H. Outzen's,
where girl was left. and
Wednesday he was right here in
the city. at the Wisconsin Cafe.
where Mr.. and Mrs. F. j. Essene
were made happy over the dona-
tion of 8 female child. All in all,
it has been a busy week for old

BUSINESS At
BEACH BOOMING
n. P's Business Greater by SO Per
Cent than in September, 1909
Short Haul Cuts Down Receipts

There seems to be no let-up in
the steady increase in the
amount of business transacted at
the local depot. Every month
shows a big gain over the cores
ponding month Of last year, just
as last year did over the year
preceding.
In the face of the reported crop
failure, and the known fact that
the crops Of this section are not
nearly so good as they were last
year, the business at the depot
shows a gain for the month of
September over the same month
last year of MORE THAN FIFTY
PER CENT.
The total line charges are
s67, 1872, as against S42.959 of a
year ago, an increase of $24, 1873,
and $36,3S1 over the September
business of 1908.
The receipts would have been
fully $4,000 greater but for the
fact of crop failures farther
east, as the wheat which would
have gone to Duluth at 21c. per
hundred is now going at DC. per
hundred, making a difference in
the receipts Of l7c. per hundred.
The shipments of grain will
continue all winter, whereas last
season the bulk of it was rushed
in during September. Farmers
now are better equipped with
granaries and are holding their
grain while doing their fall
plowing. AS a matter of fact,
only the nearby grain has been
marketed as yet.
Following is the business in
detail:

tions Warmly Endorsed by For

The county division mass meet
ing at Logan's hall tuesday eve
ming was we'll attended by enthu-
siastic and representative citizens,
who both mean to and will do
business.
The meeting was called to or
der by O. c. Kucheman. who was
succeeded by j. R. Waters as
chairman.
Mr.. Waters, R. M. Andrews. C.
l. Cook and j. r. Smith gave oral
reports Of their recent visit to
Marmarth and to the Sheetz
schoolhouse, where they attended
meetings and were cordially re.
ceived.
At Marmarth a fine meeting
was held and the Slope and
Golden Valley propositions were
unanimously endorsed.
A rousing gathering Of farmers
was met at the Sheet school,
which is in the southeastern part
of the county. and after the facts
and figures had been presented
they realized the futility of try
ing to win with the Butte propo.
sition, and it was accordingly
dropped and Slope county adopted
in its stead. The figures present.
ed at this meeting drove home
the argument. The vote of each
precinct was presented on a map,
and the supporters of Butte be-
came convinced that there was
no hope for it, conflicting, as it
did, with the Golden Valley ter
= ritory. Now they are heart and
soul for the scheme which will
give them county Of their own

DEATH LOVES A
SHINING MARK
George Clinton Logan Taken Away
at Twenty, Victim Of Paralysis
An Exemplary Young Man

Surely no better example of the
truth of the above quotation could
be mentioned than in the case of
Clint Logan, whose death occurred
last Friday noon.
The sudden and untimely end Of
this we'll known, popular young
man was the universal topic Of
conversation, and occasioned uni
versal regret.
Just at the threshold Of man
hood-in the very prime of life
when everything pointed to a
useful career, his demise was
not only a blow to his parents and
dear ones, but was a distinct loss
to the community as we'll, for he
was an honorable, clean young
man whom it was a privilege
and a pleasure to know.
He was born at Ridgeway, a
small place near Winona, Mimi.

August. He came with his
parents to Beach three years ago,
and since finishing school has
been an able assistant to his
father, both here and on the
farm. Since his father embarked
in the mercantile business last
spring he has been employed in
the store, being pleasant and
affable to all. and many who
never knew him before formed
his acquaintance there, and likee
him.
About week or ten days be-
fore his death he fell from a step

Remainder Of Billings-195;

While. Of course, the vote cast
at the primary was not the full
vote Of Billings county, it never
theless forms a good basis on
which to figure. If Golden Valley
and Slope, working together, cast
the same vote for the PROPOSE
tions, they will win by a majority
Of 7l2. Allowing, however, for a
detection of one-third Of the vote,
and adding that third to the
vote of old Billings county,

whatsoever, We still have ma.

A Horses Toe Mails.

Few persons realize that horses Eoof is really the same thing as the toe nails of human beings or of ami mals ha1ing toes. The horn of hoof grows just as a toe nail does. The hoof grows more rapidly in unshod horses than in those wearing shoes, and it grows faster in horses which are we'll groomed and well fed. But on an average the horn grows about . third of an inch a month. Hind hoofa grow faster than fore hoofs. The toe of the hoof being the longest part, 1t takes longer for the horn to grow down there than at the heel For in stance, the toe will grow entirely down In from eleven to thirteen months, while the heel will grow down in from three to i've months. As the new horn grows out any cracks or defects in the old gradually work down to where they can be cut of, just as with human finger nails you can watch the progress of bru:se from the root to the tip- London Answers.

Pretty Ahssntminded

A book about George Canning and his friends contains among it's anec. dotes two which deal with Hookhan Frere and the absentmindedness for which he was noted. Frere married Lady Errol, and while they were en- gagged he took her into supper at a ball. While they were talking he drank up the glass of wine he had poured out for her and then took her back supperless to the ballroom. After the wedding he went straight from the church to MT. Murray, the pub Usher, who asked him to stay to din ner, to which he very nearly agreed. remembering only just in time that Lady Errol was waiting to start on the honeymoon"

Leaders Of Opposition Thrown
Into Prison Under Guard
Of Troops.

Ell PASO, Tex.-Porfirio Diaz, the
SOyear-old statesman who has beer
President OF Mexico continuously fol
rs years, has been reelected to that
office. Ramon Corral undoubtedly
has been chosen to succeed himself
as vice-president. The result means
that the policies Of Diaz will continue
another six years.. or at least as long
as the veteran ruler shall live.
Rain in the border states, where
there was the greatest danger of trou
BILE, dampened the ardor Of the oppo
sition. Further discouragement to the
anti-re-electionists was found in the
fact that their candidate for Presi
dent, Francisco Madero, spent cleo

that many Of the active leaders OF
the opposition propaganda also were
in custody and under guard of Fedora
