The College Chap.

''rhe College Chap" was put on the
stage last Friday evening by the High
school students under the direction OF
Prof. Zimmerman and Miles Cochran
The play was very laughable comedy
drama, and the actors did well, all OF
them having their lines perfectly, and
their work evidencing careful training
in the parts taken by the different
characters. Seldom has home talent
play been put on here in which the
characters were as well cast as in this
instance, every one being assigned the
part that suited his or her peculiar tai
ent. The affair was success in every
way, and the net receipts were $52. as,
which will used to pay the expenses
connected with the commencement ex-
ercises at the close of the school term.

Mr.. Defenbach Speaks

The Honorable Byron Defcnbach of
Standpoint. republican candidate for
governor, spoke to fair sized audience
at the Odd Fellows hall last Tuesday
evening. The speaker touched upon
national, state and local issues and was
withal all able entertainer and we en-
dorse heartily his entire discourse. The
strange part of the whole affair was
that Mr.. Deffenbach was billed by the
democrats, entertained by the demo-
Gratis and applauded by the democrats,
who largely made up his audience. In
deed, as FAR up the line as Greer, last
Sunday, democrats were wo king to get
out crowd to hear the speech. All
democrats present seemed to be looking
for something and to say they were
disappointed would be placing it mildly.
We hope to again here Mr.. Defenbach
before the campaign is over under dif-
ferent auspices, as we like the earnest
and able manner in which he presents
his subjects for consideration, and we
hope he, like Old Dog Tray, will not
again be found in bad company.

Miners Making Money.

w. c. Howard came in yester-
day from the Cranberry creek
placers, which Stewart e. Howard
are working with an | IA inch
nozzle and a 5O-foot head. They
have stripped quite an area of pay
gravel on the old river bed which
is giving them their best returns.
The pay gravel is only about IL
to l6 feet wide and from to 4
feet deep to smooth level bed
rock, but it runs over IS cents to
the pan throughout. Mr.. Howard
brought in $S.15 in gold dust
which came from only six shovels
of bedrock, which he panned out
the day before. The gold is about
as course as 3 F rifle powder, but
some small nuggets are also found
which show no signs of water
wear, while the dust is even found
in small quantities in the overlay-
ing coarse gravel. Every indica-
ton points to the existence of a
rich mother lode, as yet undis-
covered, somewhere in the neigh
borhood.
On Swamp creek Jas. McGann
is piping steadily with a good
head of water and the well proven
richness of the ground assures
the usual good output.
On Bird creek Chas. Brown and
Chas. Peterson are handling a
great deal Of dirt with an unusu-
ally good head Of water, and are
well satisfied with prospects for a
long piping season.
AT the Jericho the tunnel is now
in along the footwall for about 80
feet, but the officers of the COM
pany have given no orders to be-
gin prosecuting for the lead. 1t
is expected that this will soon be
done and then the future of this
promising property will be decided
by the test Of actual values, Sen
tinel.

The National Flag

The national flag had no single
or definite origin. Before and
during part of the revolution
many flags of different designs
were used by different colonies
and different companies of sold
iers. There were also a great
many private flags in use at the
time of the war for separation
from England. But in l775 a
committee recommended for a
national flag the British Union
plus thirteen stripes. This design
congress adopted. Paul Jones
claimed to have been the first to
have raised the national flag, but
it seems to have been one of the
rattlesnake type; though that was
not the kind selected by the con-
gressional naval committee in
1776. In June, 1776, it was un-
officially decided by congress and
Washington, in view of the i'm
pending declaration, to replace
the union by five pointed star;
but the first official adoption Of a
flag was on June IA, l777, displac-
ing the union by l3 stars, and US
ing just the same number of
stripes. The first use of the flag
is disputed; it seems to have been
improvised and run up over CAP
tured, British standards at Fort
Stanwix August 8, 1777, after the
battle Of Oriskany, but a regular
flag was made and carried at the
battle of Brandywihe in, the fol-
lowing September.
When Vermont and Kentucky
were admitted to the union two
new stripes and the same number
OF stars were added, and no further
changes were made for Is years.
In 1918 it was finally ordered that
the Is stripes be reduced perma-
nently to Is, in memory of the
original colonies, and the stars
keep pace with the total number
OF states, on the July 4 after each
admission. The arrangement Of
the stars was not specified and
has been left to the taste of the
makers.

Child Recovered

Quite CONSERVATION was created
here last Monday morning when the
word was brought to town that the five
year-oh daughter OF Reuben Dennis
had strayed from home and could not
be foun9 by the many searchers who
had been out the entire afternoon and
night. The word was quickly passed
around and 30 men answered the call
to go and search for the missing young
ster. The party proceeded to the
mouth OF Fords creek, where they
were stopped by John Peckham who
stated they had found the child in the
early morning about one mile from its
home on the Herve Eller place. II was
none the worse for its night in the cold
mountain air, beside log with brush
pile for pillow.

Open River Boat Brings Big Cargo

The steamer Inland Empire arrived
at the Snake River dock, Lewiston,
Friday afternoon, carrying the largest
cargo OF the present running season,
more than 17O tons being aboard. The
consignments were for merchants in
Lewiston and Charleston and to mercan-
tile establishments in II towns in North
Idaho, in the main being Camas Prairie
points. or the towns outside OF Lew
iston and Charleston receiving ship
mcnts are these: Grangeville, Sites,
Winchester, Nezperce, Fort Lapwai,
Kamiah, 'Cavendish, Kellogg, Vollmer,
Pullman. Emida, Ferdinand, Melrose,
Sweetwater, Mullan, Keuterville and
Plummer, all OF which except Pullman
are located in this state.
The boat left Saturday morning for
Asotin carrying 10000 grain sacks to
the Farmers Warehouse company, and
on the return trip will load light cargo
and depart for the lower river at about
noon.
The present stage Of water is most
favorable for navigation on the upper
Snake and the shipments brought here
by boat to be carried to the extreme
northern section OF the state by rail,
suggest the advantages Of the open
river. Last year the Open River COM
pany brought shipments to Lewiston
that were reshipped by rail via Spo-
kane to points beyond and at a less
cost than the shipments could have
been secured by direct rail shipments
from the coast terminals. With the
completion OF the Cello Canal and the
further Improvement OF the upper
Columbia and Snake rivers further ma
terial reductions will be effected and
river points will be made the dstribut-
ing centers for practically every section
Of the Inland Empire.

John Baer, local buyer for
Stanton & Co. Of Spokane, shipped
out two sheared eve sheep to his
firm Tuesday morning that were
record animals of their kind for
this territory. The sheep were
purchased Of B. Tacke, living just
south of town, and weighed 200
pounds each. They brought
cents a pound on foot and Mr..
Tacke realized $l6 from their
sale. AS sheared ewes usually
weigh about 100 pounds it can be
seen that these were record
breakers, both in weight and
quality.-Chronicle.
