SOME STRANGE TIMEKEEPERs

To ascertain the time at night the
Apache Indians employed a gourd on
which the stars OF the heavens were
marked AS the consultations rose
in the sky, the/Indian referred to his
gourd and found out the hour. BY
turning the gourd around he could
tell the order In which the constella.
lions might be expected to appear.
The hill people of Assam reckon
time and distance by the number OF
guilds of betel nuts chewed. 1t will
be remembered how. according to
Washington Irving, the Dutch colonial
assembly was invariably dismissed at
the last puff of the thirA pipe of to-
bacco OF Governor Wouter Van Twill.

A Montagnis Indian OF Canada Will
set up a tall stick in the snow when
travelling ahead of friends who are
to follow. He marks with his loot
the line OF shadow cast, and by the
change in the angle OF the shadow the
oncoming party can tell, on arriving
at the spot, about how far ahead the
leader is-Harpers Weekly.

of remarkable design and not lacking
in attractiyeness. 1t Is called ! null

Is a striking resemblance between the
Burmese and the Tehuanas. The daily

much resemble that of the Burmese

their fondness for brilliant colors.

HOW THE ELEPHANT TALKS

Elephants are said to make use OF
a great variety OF sounds In communt
eating with each other, and in ex'
pressing their wants and feelings.
Sope are uttered by the trunk, some
by the throat. The 'contunctures in
which either means of expression Is
employed cannot be strictly classified,
as fear, pleasure, want and other
emotions are sometimes indicated by
the trunk, sometimes by the throat.
An elephant rushing upon an assaii
ant trumpets shrilly with fury.
Fear Is similarly expressed In a
shrill, brassy trumpet. or by a roaor
from the lungs. Pleasure by a con
tinued low squeaking through the
trunk or an almost inaudible purring
sound from the throat. Want-as
calf calling its mother-is chiefly ex'
pressed by the throat. A peculiar
sound is made use of by elephants TO
express dislike or apprehension, and
at the same time to intimidate, as
when the cause OF some alarm mas not
been clearly ascertained and the ami
mails wish to deter an intruder. Ii Is
produced by rapping the end OF the
trunk smartly on the ground, cur
rent OF air hitherto retained being
sharply emitted through the trunk. as
from a valve. at the moment OF I'M
pact. The sound made resembles thai
OF large>sheet of tin rapidly doubled
1t has been enormously ascribed by
some writer's to the animals beating
their sides with their trunks.

HOUSE Of DIAMONDS

About 20 years ago the diamond
merchants of Amsterdam held their
market as best they could. The mer-
chants would meet in a cafe. or some
times In the. street, where, drawing
their gems from their pockets. they
would compare them, chatter, and con-
clude their contracts Those days
may be termed the patriarchal age.
In time the merchants saw that their
precious goods were worthy of more
dignified procedure. They rented
premises, which they named "Beurs
voor den Diamanten." Business pros
pering, Amsterdam absorbed about
two-thirds of the worlds commerce in
the precious stones, and the syndicate
determined to build their own hall or
exchange. and this the minister of the
interior has recently opened on the
Weesperplein.

At the home of the brides lar

Horace A. Sandys, of the Big Wood
River neighborhood, was married
to Miss Ada B. Turnbull by the
undersigned, amid delightful sur
roundings.
Mr.. Sandys was formerly from
England, but has been in this
country several years, and y quite
well and favorably known in the
community in which he has lived.
Miss Turnbull has been well
known since she was quite a small
child, the family having made their
home in Shoshone for a number of
years, and she is highly respected,
as she is we'll known.
Mr.. Sandys owns a farm in the
neighborhood where they were
married and they will begin
housekeeping at once in their own
home.
May the Lord abundantly bless,
and prosper them, is the prayer of

To CLEAR SAGE
BRUSH BY STEAM

An organization is being effected
among the new settlers on the
dry farms near Minidoka for the
purpose of purchasing a traction
engine with which to clear sage
brush from the land and plow it,.
The engine such as they propose
getting will cost between two and
three thousand dollars and will do
the work Of several men and teams.
AS none Of the land in that dis
trict has yet been fenced, such an
engine can work without any OBJ
stacles in its path and in two or
three months it can clear an i'm
mense area of land. If the settlers
can do so, they propose to clear
most of the land before they build
any fences or attempt to build
roads, as they believe that the
clearing can be done much more
economically than after they begin
to fence. Several of these engines
have been purchased in the vicin--
ity of Aberdeen and American Falls |
and have been operated very sue
cessfully.
The more enthusiastic of these
settlers predict that by the first
Of next November there will be at
east ten thousand acres of land
IN the new settlement cleared and
seeded to winter wheat. This does
lot seem at all improbable as the
greater part of five townships
las been filed on, and each town
hip contains 23040 acres. It is
,asy to guess that within the next
ew years the yearly output of
wheat in that district will be over
lalf million to a million bushels
'er year.

JUDGE BUDGE FOR
SUPREME BENCH

Judge Alfred Bulge of Pocatello
was Monday afternoon placed in
nomination for justice of the Su-
preme Court subject to the will of
the Republican Primary. His
nomination paper was filed with
the Secretary of State by Attorney
General D. C. McDougall. Mr..
Budge is the second candidate to
be placed in nomination for this
important office, Chief Justice G..
H. Stewart having been nominated
by j. H. Richards Of Boise.
Few jurists in the state of Ida
ho are more prominently known, or
more highly respected for their ju-
dicial ability than Judge Alfred
Bulge. He has the distinction of
having sat on the bench in the dis
trict court for i2 years, during
which period he has never been
reversed by the Supreme Court of
this state in a criminal case ap-
pealed from his jurisdiction to the
high tribunal. This is considered a
remarkable record when it is con-
sidered Judge Bulge, when first
electeu, sat in a district that COM
prised the greater part of south
eastern Idaho or those counties
now in the Sixth and Eighth judi
cial districts. The Sixth district,
over which he now presides, was
formed later, owing to the in
crease in the volume of business
handled by the courts.
The Sixth district, of which Ban
mock county is part, has had more
criminal litigation than any other
district in the state and more ap-
peals have been carried to the |
supreme court from this district.

BLISS TOWNS|TE
TROUBLES OVER?

A letter from Bliss says the
townsite contentious there are in
fair way to be settled out of
court without further appeal.
A great portion of the porperty
has been in litigation for years and
it is a great relief to al who are
interested in the town to have the
matter cleared up. The town ex-
poets to move ahead rapidly now
that firm real estate titles have
been established and is planned
to have a jollification and get-to-
gether meeting soon.
Along with the movement for
out-of-court settlement it is stated
that the Skillern hotel is to go to
the Morris-Roberts Company, upon
the payment of $2i9O to Skillern TO
his equity. J. H. Collins, F. NJ.
Wick and Theodore Painter made
the award as arbitrators.
The suit against the Oregon
Short Line for 20 acres, won in the
lower court by the railroad COM
pany, has not been appealed and
probably will not be.
