Low Expense Operat-
ing IN Elk District

The cost of actual mining in
the Elk City district is not as
high as in other mining dis
tricts in the northwest where
the ore is of lower grade.
There is abundance of water
and timber, labor is the same
as in other places, and sup
plies can be bought as cheaply
in Elk City as they can be in
any gold district.
A. w. Boyd, lessee of the
American Eagle mine, who
has operated in northern Idaho
and British Columbia, says it
costs So TO $11 a foot to drive
tunnel and an average of $40
to sink shaft.
1t is only when milling is
begun that the expense here
runs higher than in other dis
tricts, and that is due to the
high cost Of power.
The numerous. streams offer
great inducements to power
companies, which viii soon
enter the field, and when that
time comes, mining in central
Idaho viii be on a safe and
sure basis.

hood of Locomotive Engineers. One
thing that the brotherhood most
strenuously insists upon is that its
members shall not drink. Thirty-fve
members were expelled for getting
drunk In 1909, and their shame was
publicly proclaimed In the Journal.
The treatment does not stop here by
any means. The brotherhood will not
risk the lives of its members and the
general public by permitting a drink
ing man to run an engine. writes
Charles Frederick Carter in Century.
When a man has been duly convicted
of drinking and punished according to
the laws of the order, the facts are
laid before the proper authorities on
the road that employs him, and his
discharge is demanded. In one no.
table instance the engineer of a fast
train got drunk during his layover and
disgraced himself. He was tried, con

drunk off duty may take a notion to

go over the road twice or more.
The drag should be 6oored witt
boards which are separated by oper
spaces of sufficient width SO that the
dirt which falls over will rattle
through.
On roads with heavy traffic the draa
should be used much oftener and with
more care than on roads with light
traffic.
The distance from the drag at
which the team is hitched affects the
cutting. A long hitch permits the
blade to cut deeper than a short hitch
likewise a heavy doubletree will cause
the cutting edge to settle deeper than
a light one.
There are very few periods of the
year when the use of the drag does
not benefit the road, but 1t does the

In order to train plebes in the en-
durance, mentality and valor requisite
for a soldier in the United States
army, pie eating contests have been
introduced at some of the military
schools. Nothing could have been
chosen which would be more likely
to arouse patriotic sentiments and in

CARE GIVEN LINEN
DARNlNG OF FINE CLOTH is
FASCINATING WORK.
Wear of Tablecloth Is Prolonged II
Several Stitches Are Taken in
F~old-Propcr Repairing of
Worn Napkins.

Every h~ouseleerer is proud of her
linen closet, undoubtedly, and to keep
the contents in good condition is
more often considered a pleasure than
a task, especially when the stitch-in-
time-saves-nine rule is applied. Darn
ing fine linen is really fascinating
work if one will only take pains to
do it well.
Table cloths are apt to show the
first signs of wear in the fold down
the middle, but an actual break may
be prolonged if a few threads-half
a dozeE or so-are neatly darned in
down this fo'd. Some housekeepers
washings only, but as the damask
then is apt to be thick, the darning
is a little harder to do than when
the cloth has reached the half-worn
stage.
The thread known as f%ourishing
cotton is used for repairing all kinds
of house linen, and will be found to
look almost exactly like a thread
drawn from damask. Every one is
acquainted with the device of cutting
a couple of inches from one end and
one side of a tablecloth when it begins
to wear. but this shortening may be
put off for a long time if the middle
fold is strengthened while the cloth
is still in good condition.
Then there are others who never
iron the cloth directly through the
middle, but fold it so that it measures
from II to two inches wider on one
part. because, Of course, it is the con-
slant pressing of the iron on the one
line that Causes the wear.
The next sign of wear is indicated
by broken threads. If these are al
lowed to remain unnoticed the result
will be a hole in no time, while if a
few stitches are set in the ravage
will be concealed and the damask
look like lev again. A simple in and
out, upper and under stitch is used,
the work being done on the wrong
side of the cloth. This is the stitch
in time" When both wool and warp
break, a hole having ragged edges
is the result. When this happens
there is nothing to do but cut away
the frayed part and fill in the space
with the d~arning stitch.
Unless the thread used for working
has been shrunken loops should be
left all around the edges of the hole.
The wise rlan is to leave the loops
any way. because the ironing is apt
to stretch the thread and the looms
will low olenty of give" while a
tiert thread will cause a drawing that
viii IN time tear the material mended
part away. AS the cloth is always
thin Ground a hole. the d~arning should
extend beyond it for half an inch or
more on all sides.
Worn napkins are repaired in the
same way as ~tablecloths.

Horse dealers all over the world
have been gathering up the finest

supply has been greatly diminished. of

while Pennsylvania was one of the

forest reserves and that the owners of
non-agricultural land will. at an early
