SUIT STARTED OVER
SEVEN TROUGHS ORE
Company Wants Value of Ore
From Smelter Which 1t As
serts 1t Owns.

An echo OF the enormously rich gold
ore once found in the Seven Troughs
mining district Is had in suit Just filed
by the Seven TrouGhs Mining company
against the Selby Smelling company OF
California. Tho complaint sets forth
that si0,0 600 worth OF gold ore belonging
TO tho company WAS delivered to the
smelter by a man not lawfully entitled
10 the same and Judgment is asked for
the value OF the rock.
Tho Seven Troughs company is ono Of
the pioneers of the camp. and in the
early days produced considerable
amount OF ore which was nearly all gold.
One shipment was sent TO the Salt Lake
smeltcrs which brought, In close to $50. ooo.
During the past year or two the company
has confined its operations more to mill
ing than shipping crude ore direct. How
so, 600 worth OF this ore became detached
from the safety vaults OF the company
Is not explained, hut II does not take
a great deal OF such ore TO run into the
thousands OF dollars.

close 10 100 900. 600 pounds Of copper has
been sold during the past three weeks,
cleCtroytic reaching to as high as l2l
cents per pound for June delivery, Au-

Oil and Mater.

Drop small portion of oil into water
agitated by the wind; it will spread it.
self with the most amazing swiftness
over the surface. The oil, though it be
only a teaspoonful. will produce an
instant calm over several square yards
Of surface. This should be done on the
windward side of the pond or river,
when you will see the oil spread to al
most half an acre in size. making it
appear as smooth as glass.
The remarkable circumstance in this
experiment Is the sudden wide and
forcible spread Of single drop Of oil
on water. for if a drop Of oil be placed
on highly polished marble table or a
glass laid horizontally the drop re-
mains in place, spreading scarcely at
all. but when dropped on water
spreads instantly many feet round. be-
coming so thin as to produce the pris-
matte cOlors for q considerable space,
and beyond them so much thinner as
to be invisible. except in it's effect in
smoothing the waves. A repulsion of
its particles takes place as soon as it
touches the water, so strongly as to
affect bodies on it's surface. such as
straws. chips. leaves. ETC., forcing
them to retreat from the drop, leaving
perfectly smooth space.

POTATO BUG APPEARS

Dreaded Pest Found in Washington
for First Time.
Pullman.-Open.ng an innocent-look-

Professor A. L. Melander saw the first
potato bugs which are thus far known
ever to have been found in Washing
ton They were about half grown just
at the age when they do most dam
age to the potato crop, and, oddly
enough, came from a potato patch in
Pullman.
News that the potato bug is now in
the state Will be heard with conster-
nation by farmers who have seen the
ravages of the insect in the eastern
states. Few more noxious pests of
garden, field Or orchard exist, and the
Washington Experiment Station will
at once send notices far and wide
throughout the state, asking farmers
to watch for it in their potato fields
and to report at once if any insects
are found.

FoeIseap Paper.

FootScaP FaPeF.
Many boys and girls wonder why q
sheet Of paper Of a certain size, on
which many Of them write their ex-
aminations, should be called foolscap.
1t was originally SO named because it
bore water mark representing q
FOOLS cap and bells.
The reason for this is as follows:
When Charles l. found himself in
financial difficulties he disposed Of GER
tain privileges In order to increase his
income. Among the privileges he sold
was that Of manufacturing paper.
The exclusive right to do this he let
out to certain parties, who. having q
monopoly of the trade, charged ex-
orbitant prices. At that time the law
required that all English paper bear
the royal arms.
The parliament which met under
Cromwell derided and made fun Of
this law. Among other humiliations
to the royal memory. 1t gave orders
that fools cap and bells take the
place of the royal arms. The journals,
which were written on the size paper
now. known as foolscap. bore a very
decided water mark of this sort
When the trump parliament" broke
