WEEKS LOCAL
HAPPENIN G s
Comings, Goings and
Doings In Silver the
Past Week

Mrs Minnie Weston returned
NJ onday evening from a fort
nights visit at Boise and other
railroad points.
Kenneth Mcleod returned from
Boise last night. He evidently
stirred up the legislature, as a
very drastic liquor law has just
been in troduced.
Mrs. August Crete and daught-
er Charlotte are expected in this
week from California, where
they have been since last fall.
Mrs. Crete has been undergoing
treatment at a sanitarium in
that state and it is said thather
health is much improved.
Last nights Statesman and
Capital News have an account Of
the late stage Tuesday. Accord
ing to those papers, six horses
we're killed and Ed Matheson,
the driver, narrowly escaped
death. Mr.. MaUheson came in
Wednesday instead OF Tuesday.
Paul Troy boarded last Mon
day mornings outgoing stage
to Murphy from where he will go
to Boise. After a few weeks So
iourn III the capital city he will
make a visit to Vancouver,
Washington. Mr.. Troy's health
has not been the best OF late,
and last week he became so all
armed about it that he conclud-
ed to HE himself to a milder
cline for the winter months.
Whereupon he disposed OF his
chickens and effects at his ranch
near camp to Lutte Gardner and
left post-haste.
t. c. Campbell, representative
OF a Spokane queensware firm,
was Silver City visitor from
Saturday until Monday. He
was driven up from Jordan VAL
ley by Joe Weir, the popularand
accommodating liveryman of that
place. This was Campbells first
visit to Silver City and he likes
our town-also said that our
camp was by no means an un-
known one, as he had heard fav-
orable mention of it all over the
country. He said ithad the best
prospects to yet become the fav-
orite mining camp Of the Great
Northwest.
Paul Nelson is again in circula-
tion after a weeks indisposition,
occasioned by a severe fall which
he received on the slippery stairs
at his place of business. When
his feet flew out from under him
he landed on one of the steps
about his middle and a slight
fracture of a short-rib was sus-
tained. Paul asked us to say
nothing about it, but then as the
"down-falls" of humanity are so
numerously chronicled every day
in newspapers, the suppression
OF such items of interest is almost
an impossibility. Forgive us
this time, Paul, and hereafter
we'll turn a deaf ear and dark
ened optic to any acrobatic STUNT
or contortion act which you may
put on.

4. Passengers on the southbound

cident Tuesday, moaning few miles

Some of the passengers were badly
frightened when the trucks of the

for eight car lengths, a wreck of the
entire train only being prevented by
a quick stop on the part of Engineer

In some miraculous manner the re-
mainder of the train managed to
stick to the rails, so that aside from
a bad shaking up the passengers es-

Dear Mackenzie to your

advise that after considerable argu-
ment on the part of members of our
board they finally have been able to
induce the railway express companies
to maintain joint agency on the

sented to do this and publish their
schedule of rates which is SO cents

the St. Paul rate for the carriage be-
tween the city of ST. Paul and the

that they will be handled in much
more satisfactory way than in the

SISCHO GIVEN SILVER GIFTS
Presented on Behalf of Courthouse
Staff By Judge Stanton.

In the chambers of Judge Stanton
this morning, J. w. Sischo, janitor
for two years and who recently re-
signed to take up his residence at
Pitt, was given silver tea service
and silver shaving mug, purchased by
contributions made by county officials
and their assistants at the court
house. Mr.. Sischo was taken COM
pletely by surprise. He was told
that his presence was wanted in the
district court chambers. When he
arrived he found the courthouse en-
ployes gathered. 1t had been in
tended to have Mrs. Sischo present
but she had left the city. Judge
Stanton made a touching presenta-
ton speech which brought tears to
the eyes of more than Mr.. Sischo.
ssNext to the ties of love which bind
us to our families said the judge,
ssthe association of business relation
ships justly makes the next strongest
claim to our affection, and that is
why, after two years of faithful SER
vice during which all of us have been
intimately associated with you that
we offer these tokens to yourself and
Mrs Sischo as slight appreciation
of the high esteem and regard in
which you both are held by u.s." Mr..
Sischo was too much impressed to do
more than express sincere thanks.
He is to be succeeded at the court
house by George Ostrander.

Representative O'NeiH wrote:
81 do not favor an increase in the
railroad gross earnings tax at this
time while action is pending. Second
and this is a selfish reason-I do
not favor increased railroad taxes be-
cause the people, and not the rail-
road pay the tax. Third, the three
big counties pay over SO per cent Of
the tax and the agricultural counties
pay over rs per cent OF the freight;
so that by increasing the tax for the
benefit of the cities, we increase the
freight in the country.
Il would favor an extra session for
only one purpose. That would be to
give afr representation to Northern
Minnesota. I do not think the gov
ernor could control The southern
senators would do just as they pleased
regardless of his wishes.
With kindest regards, respectfully,

ROAD LAW FEAR QUIETED
Assistant Attorney General Smith
Declares Elwell Statute Will Stand
Legal Test.
RAPs ST. PAUL NEWSPAPER MEN

The reports coming from st. Paul
to the effect that the attorney gem
erals Office is opposed to the Elwell
road law, which provides for the
construction of main trunk roads
throughout the state; were denounced
as false by Lyndon a. Smith, assist
ant attorney general. in Duluth yes
terday with the boundary commits
sions.
The state attorneys Office is not
opposed to the ElweE law" said Mr..
Smith. "The fact Ia the office is in
favor of it, and has done ali in its
power to have it passed The bill was
drawn up in the Office, and We took
special care to have every point COW
cred Since them we have had arsu-
ments in the Office, merely to test its
validity and it was during these de-
bates that representatives of the press
dropped in, and either through mis-
understanding, or on. account of hos
tility to the act, have made vicious
attacks upon it, and declared that
the Office was antagonistic toward it.
TT is necessary to have such dis
cussions on bill of this Importance,
and we wished to be sure that it was
perfect before much work was start
ed. However, when the work of
building the roads is started it will
not mean the expenditure of millions
but few thousands, to which more
will be added each year. The princi-
pal difficulty will be in. the securing
of money from the different counties,
for they do not have overfiowing
treasures to draw upon This will
require passage of a bill in the
legislature for the provision of spec
lal tax levy forthis purpose.
1Northern Minnesota is rapidly de-
veloDing. and farmers are coming in
continually. They are in need of
roads, but=as the state cannot build
roads for. them, it can at least as
sist in the. building of main trunks.
If the counties were rich, no money
would be needed from the state.
There are no counties which can
build hundreds of miles of roads a
year, but they must do so gradually.
This is delaying the farmers, putting
them to much inconvenience, and de-
terring the growth of this part of the
state.''

BEARS DEVoUR SHEEP
Shepherds Give Battle to Animals,
But Are Forced to Beat a Hasty
Retreat.
ACQUIRE TASTE FOR MUTTON

On my return after sunset to the
Portuguese camp, after a grand ram

the shepherds greatly excited over
the behavior of the bears that have
learned to like mutton. "They are
getting worse and worse they la
mented. Not willing to wait decently

they come and kill and eat their fill
in broad daylight. The evening be-
fore my arrival, when two shepherds
were leisurely driving the flock to-
ward camp half an hour before sun
set, hungry bear came out of the
chaparral within few yards of them,
-and-shH filed deliberately toward the
flock Portuguese Joe, who always
carries gun loaded with buckshot.
fired excitedly, threw down his gun,
fled to the nearest suitable tree, and
climed to a safe height without wait
ing to see the effect of his shot. His
companion also ran, but said that he
saw the bear rise on his hind legs
and throw out it's arms as if feeling
for somebody, and then go into the
brush as if wounded.
At another of their camps in this
neighborhood a bear with two cubs
attacked the flock before sunset lust
as they were approaching the corral.
Joe promptly climed a tree out of
danger, while Antoine, rebuking his
companion for cowardice is abandon
ing his charge, said that he was not
going to let bears eat up his Sleeps
in daylight, and rushed toward the
bears, shouting and setting his dog
on them. The frightened cubs
climbed a tree, but the mother ran to
meet the shepherd, and seemed anxi-
Gus to fight. Antoine stood astonished
for moment, cycling the oncoming
bear, then turned and fed, closely
pursued. Unable to reach a suitable
tree for climbing, he ran to the camp
and scrambled up to the roof of the
little cabin; the bear followed, but
did not climb to the roof, only glar-
| ing up at him for a few minutes,
threatening him and holding him in
mortal terror, then went to her cubs,
called them down, went to the flock,
caught a sheep for supper, and van
ished in the brush AS soon as the
bear left the cabin the trembling
Antune begged Joe to show him a
good safe tree, up which he climbed
like a sailor climbing mast, and
rem lined as long as he could hold
on, the tree being almost branchless
After these disastrous experiences
the shepherds chopped and gathered
large piles of dry wood and made a
ring of fire around the corral every
night, while one with gun kept
watch from comfortable stage

manded view of the corral. This
evening the show made by the circle
of fire was very fine, bringing out the
surrounding trees in most impressive
relief, and making the thousands OF
sheep eyes glow like glorious bed
of diamonds.-John Muir in the At

COUNTS 900 SCHOOL NOSES
Paul Shannon, Special Enumeration,
Has Task of Listing Pupils
Completed.
DYER RECEIVES MANUFACTURERS

Paul Shannon, appointed early in
the month to take school census in
compliance with the new state law,
has nearly completed his work. and
already has the names of about 900
children between 5 and 16 years, the
legal school ages.
Mr.. Shannon will present his re-
port to the board of education within
the next few days. The list is not yet
complete and probably will go slight
ly over the 900 mark.
LOO Attended Last Year.
Last year there was an average en-
rollment of more than l.1OO. In view
of this fact it might seem at first
glance that the census figures were
unsatisfactory. It is explained, how
ever, that they do not include most
OF those attending high school, as
these students are more than 16 years
old and members of the kindergarten,
under the 6 year limit.
City Superintendent w. P. Dyer
has the educational machinery ready
for the grind which is to begin Tues
day morning of next week.. He is
much gratified at the large number
of inquiries received from young men
and women from surrounding towns
who plan on attending the High
School. The normal department en-
rollment will be especially large.
Want Girl?
Mr.. Dyer said:
Il am also much pleased to learn
that several former pupils who left
school to attend elsewhere will be
back with us the coming school year.
The indications are that we shall
have record breaking attendance at
the High School this winter" r. = :
Another feature of the opening of
the school is the number of girls who
have been placed in Bemidji homes
