CHOICE WHITEFACEs.

NJ. l.. Hastings, the big Hereford
breeder of the Kamiah section, was a
county seat visitor the last of the week,
coming up to look after some business
matters. Mr.. Hastings has as fine
herd of whitefaces as you will find
any place and is continually improving,
having but recently purchased fine
two-year old bull of this strain from
Luce & Movley, noted Kentuckey breed
ers. The animal is pronounced as fine
type as ever came west and at twenty
three months of age tipped the beam at
l,6l0 pounds. Hasting says he will
have herd at the Northwest Live
Stock Show at Lewiston on the first of
next month and this will afford those
who are on the market an opportunity
to look over some mighty fancy stuff

just the same. By the time the thaws
of May come to us the winter seems
long and very little open no matter
what the depth of the snow Of the read
ing of the thermometer. At best the
: shut in months are long enough SO we
listen to the prophets and are thankful
for all the hopefulness in their predic-
tions. Last winter the snow slides up
Logan gulch were remarkable in many
respects. There were slides where they
never had been before and where the
old timers said there never could be.
Snow Takes Away Roof.
About one o'clock one night while
Tony Ladwick and Clarence Scott were
sleeping the sleep OF the just they
awoke to find the roof of the
cabin sliding off and ON the bed be-
tween them lay tree. They were not
slow getting out or should say trying
to get out. There shoes were not to be
found and they had to hunt by faith
for they had failed to put the match
box where faith would penetrate
Being prospectors, however, they man
aged to get out under the midnight
stars and with improvised snow shoes
of barrel slaves or whatever was handi-
est they soon found the lower country
where they made camp fire and took
turns warming themselves as hest they
could under spreading fir tree. By
noon the following day they slowly
made their way to a cabin four miles
above Edwardsburg where they found
shelter.
"Their cabin was considered a safe
cabin for reasons that every prospec-
tor familiar with that section could tell
you. 1t has been my experience that
when snow slide starts it comes down
any gulch over any mountain even if it
tumbles sommersets to do SO. These
winter nights when the sourdoughso -
spin yarns by the fireside when the
mail is late / listen and wonder if they
really think they know just what sec
tion of the hills are safe.
Piles Up Winter Wood.
The only real good | ever knew a
snow slide to do was the one that
came down last winter and stopped by
the door of the Mitchell and McCalla
cabin bringing stove wood for the next
ten years. That cabin now is place
one had best avoid as the sweep of the
mountain is clear and another slide
will have good sailing to absolutely de-
molish this familiar land mark OF Logan
Gulch.
"The same slide that demolished the
Ladwick cabin, tore away the corner
of the Moore mill building, turning the
boiler around but otherwise doing no
real damage. However, the thought of
these long winter days or night on that
hillside make man think whether after
all such desperate chances are worth
while.

FIRST SNOWFALL OF YEAR COMES
WRITER SPINS VIVID
YARN OF FALL OF BEAUTIFUL
IN MOUNTAIN CLINE.

Snow,
Beautiful, wet, clinging, mushy, real
old flaky snow. Bout four inches of
the beautiful fell today, the first snow
of the year, on the level Also on the
square.
1t appears to be ordinary snow, much
like the same variety in vogue on the
prairie last year, snow that means a
tired back and arms for the city resi-
dent who thoughtlessly tackles the task
of shoveling the snow off the walks
and into the streets without having
first physically fitted himself for the
exertion. Saving wood with buck
saw every morning about nine days pre-
vious to the first snow will guard
against any such i'll after effecss.
Snow Use to Complain.
But to come back to the snow One
would not care to say that today s
snow is sleighriding snow. One might
slip up on that assertion, for apparently,
the mantle of whiteness which abounds
over the city and prairie today is a
snow which assures moisture of the
proper character to insure great grain
crops on the prairie next year. And
the grownup and the small boy alike,
therefore, rejoices at today's precipita-
tion.
Here's graphic, vivid snow story
that came out of the mountains, by mail
from the Free Press correspondent at
Edwardsburg. Its story of snow in
its native haunts, where there is no
speed limit on snow fall, where the
flake flurries abound during greater
portion of the year, which the prospec-
tors have dubbed the "shut ino
months. The story relates an interest
ing, if not altogether comfortable, ex-
perience of two miners who, like all
people of the mountains, have come to
know the snow as only a mountaineer
can. The correspondent writes as
follows:
When Prophets Predict.
s.The amount of snow this fall has
been exceptionally light and the mail
continues to come by cayuses. The rain
of the last few days has melted the
snow on the SUBMITS and at Edwards
burg there has been very little since
the furry in September. Of course,
the old timers predict a mild, open
winter by the many signs known only
to them and which the uninitiated can
not fathom. However, I have noticed
that these predictions rarely come off
as predicted still it does the prophets
so much good to once in while hit it
that we content ourselves with the
notion that we believe after all, but
make out plans for long hard winter

Huerta Viii Continue az President
Catholic Party Will Have Majority
in Both the Chamber and the Sen
ate.-Army to Be Increased.

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 27-At the
close of the elections today the in
dications were that not sufficient
votes had ben cast in Mexico to con-
stitute a elgal choice for the presi-
dency to succeed Gen. Victoriano
Huerta.
No official announcement was
made tonight, but it was unofficially
estimated, judging from the result in
the capital, where it was expected the
vote would be UP to the average,
that less than 10000 of the $4,000
eligible voters in the federal district
went to the polls. There are said to
be more than 100000 eligible vot-
ers in the republic. 1t might be no
surprise if congress, the members OF
which also were voted for today, de-
clared the elections void when that
body is organized and revises the re-
turns
The leaders of the Catholic party
claimed a long lead, although they
were unable to estimate the number
of votes polled for their candidates,
Federico Gamboa and Gen. Rascon.
If this claim is correct, it is general
ly thought the Gen. Felix Diaz and
Senior Requena ran second. The lib
eral candidates, Manuel Calero and
Flores Magon, had no printed tickets
at the polling places, their constitu-
ents being obliged to write their
names on blank ballots.
: President Huerta did not vote. He
spent the day at his Popotla suburban
home.
: A decree will be issued by Gen. HUI
q erta tomorrow, increasing the army
from $4,000 men, its alleged present
/ number, to 10000. Gen. Huerta pro-
9 posed such an increase some time
u ago, but the congress which he dis
t. solved limited him to $4,000.
l. Since the deputies and senators are
g not subject to the election provisions

Is said tonight that the choice fol-
n congress is assured 1t is assumed
