THE CENTENARY OF TROUSERS.

As archaeologists point out, trousers
were worn even before the Christian
era. They were considered signs of
effeminacy. and were often put on cap
tives taken in war as sign of deri-
sion.
Their general acceptance, however.
seems to date back to the war of 1872,
when they became popular through
the sailors Of the American navy.
Trousers have never been an abso-
lutely successful garment. They CON-
pare unfavorably with the sack coat,
the most appropriate article of cloth
lug ever invented by the human mind
Tor the clothing of man.
The sack coat adjusts itself to any
angle the body may take. One puts it
on in the morning, and it adjusts itself
without calling for further thought 10
the wearer's motions until he puts il
off at night.
Not so with trousers. II You wish
them to retain their pristine elegance
you must pull up the knees whenever
you seat yourself Frequentlv they
must be toted down to the tailor's
for pressing and ereasing.

LITTLE BUTTE
SHIPPING ORE
Now in Large Body Of High
Grade.
Is Second Shipment from This Well
Known Property.

The second shipment of ore
from the Little Butte mine, own
ed by Geo. Widmeyer, and stu
ated on Deadwood mountain,
about 6 miles southwest of Elk
City, has now commenced.
The first shipment was made
to the Washoe smelter at Ana
conda some time ago, and the
returns were very satisfactory.
Last year a small one-stamp mill
was placed upon the property,
and the second class ore put
through. While the mill saving
was good the capacity was not
large enough to justify running
all ore through, and the high
grade is now sorted and sent to
the smelter.
The ore being shipped at pres
ent is taken from a winze put
down about 600 ft. from the por-
tai of the main adit. In the
bottom of the winze the vein is
a fit. wide of frst-class ore.
The Little Butte is opened by
an adit, in 1000 it., with several
cross-cuts. 1t cuts three dis
tinct ore shoots, all showing good
milling ore. The first shoot is
in about 200 it., where the pay
shoot is not very wide, but is
high grade. The second is where
the work is now being done, and
the shoot here is very large and
has not been opened up to its
full size. The third shoot is at
the breast Of the adit, and is
probably the largest shoot, but
the extent is not known as the
face is still in ore. This shoot
has a good dpth, and the ore is
of a different character from the
other shoots, carrying more sui
phides.
1t is not known whether more
than one car will be shipped at
this time or not, but the ore will
be taken out as development is
done.

Feed is Getting Scarce.

Reports from the Salmon river
country are to the effect that
about seven inches of snow fell
there the first of the week and
all stockmen are feeding their
herds at present. Most of the
stockmen have hay enough to
last a couple of weeks longer but
the condition will become serious
unless a thaw comes by that
time to clear the lower ranges of
snow. Chronicle.

velopment of the large-size Diesel
engine has been so successful
that before long it will not be
deemed extraordinary to develop
1000 hp. in one cylinder. One
company of worldwide reputa-
tion is considering over 1000 hp.
in the single type of Diesel en-
gine. Engines of this type with
four cylinders developing 1000
hp. power each can be made as
light as the corresponding triple
expansion steam-engine. The
weight Of such engines compares
favorably with that of the cor
responding turbines and boilers.
A 1000 hp. installation of this
type weighed only 1877 lb. per
horsepower, as compared with
180 lb. for a steam turbine and
boiler installation.

Hoad Hunters of the Philippines,

Curiously enough. the head hunting
peoples of the Philippines are appar-
emily limited to northern Luzon. None
of the warlike hill tribes inhabiting
other parts Of the archipelago are
known to take the heads of their vic
tins. The explanation. Of their head
hunting customs which is given by the
Negritos of northeastern Luzon is very
simple. They believe that each family
must take at least one head year or
suffer misfortune in the form of sick
ness, wounds, starvation or death.
Their victims are always beheaded
with bolos. Heads are buried in the
ground under the houses" of the men
who take them. Plates or ollas are
placed over the spots where the heads
are buried and possibly contain offer
ings to evil spirits. The houses" under
which heads are buried are then aban-
doned and their supposedly fortunate
owners. look forward to a period free
from death, sickness OF injury and to
success in their hunting and fishing

CUSTOM PLANT Is KEPT BUSY.
Running on Ore From the Mother
Lode.

The custom plant is running
night and day on ore from the
Mother Lode claim, situated
about one mile and a half east Of
town. The property is owned
by Geo. Brown and is under lease
to Perry brothers and M. F.
Tytler. While the ore is not
high grade the values are very
even, and it is said to be quite
free.
The vein is about s ft. wide,
and is all milling ore, and there
has been work enough done to
enable the leasors to keep two
teams hauling ore. The roads
are in frst-class shape for haul
ing at present and it is expected
that enough ore can be hauled
in to run for some time.
The war in the east is now on
in earnest, but no authentic news
is given out. The Turks seem
to be getting the worst of it.

NOW BUILD
CUTOFF ROAD
L0lO Pass Route to Receive
Attention.
Making Preparations on the Clear
water Line.

The report from Kamiah to the
effect that the Northern Pacific
Railroad company is now en-
gagged in the construction of
storage warehouse and that large
contracts for vegetables and
horse feed are being placed,
aroused an intense interest in the
city yesterday. The report is
regarded as very indicative of
the railroad company's intention
of inaugurating construction
work on the Missoula cutoff early
this year and the discussions of
the day developed a number of
interesting features that add
further strength to the building
rumor.
Information received from
Kamiah last night is to the effect
the order to vacate the railroad
property there came from the
construction rather than the
operating department, and this
fact alone is regarded as very
significant by those acquitted
with the methods employed by
railroad companies in handling
their affairs. tits explained that
the Clearwater line has been in
the hands of the operating de-
partment since it was first turn
ed over by the construction forces
and that all matters dealing with
the properties are handled by the
operating department officials.
1t is further stated that any ac-
ton by the construction or en-
gineering department in regard
to vacating or the Improvement
of the company's lands is very
suggestive Of preparations for
construction activities in the
nearby district.
1t was also disclosed yesterday
that all owners of warehouses
along the Clearwater line have,
during the past few weeks, re-
ceived notification to get their
buildings in line with the track
and for several months the COM
pany has been engaged in max
ing improvements between Ar
row Junction and Kooskia that
would indicate preparations for
heavy traffic. At a number of
points the curvature has been
reduced, all bridges have been
inspected and reinforced and cuts
have been widened and cleared,
The report was out several
months ago that the Northern
Pacific had again. turned to the
Missoula cutoff as the logical
route for the short line between
St. Paul and the coast and sug-
gestion was made at that time
that construction work would be
commenced this year. During
the winter months parties in the
city from Missoula stated the
rumor was current among rail
road men there that the line
from Missoula to Lewiston woulc
be in operation within two years
and that the building of the roac
would be commenced as early
this year as the weather condi.
tions would permit.

CONCENTRATES.
From the Mining and Scientific Press.

From the Mining and Scientific Press.
Concentrate at the West End
mill, at Tonopah, is now recon-
centrated, the bulk being reduc-
ed and higher grade produced,
effecting a saving in freight and
smelter treatment charges. The
sand from the concentrate so
treated is pumped back to the
mill circuit for further treat
ment.
Mine-rescue cars are stationed
at seven important points in the
larger coal-felds of the United
States. During the Bureau of
Mines fiscal year ended June IL.
1912, $4,000 persons visited the
safety cars and stations; $4,000
attended lectures; 10000 took
training in rescue work; and
1000 certificates were issued to
miners.
Elasticity of clay, according to
a recent hypothesis, is due to the
presence of on organic aluminium
compound. This assumption is
claimed to explain satisfactorily
all the established facts concern
ing the Elasticity of clay. For
example, it explains why only
impure clays are plastic; why
ignition destroys and levigation
fails to restore Elasticity; the in
dustrial practice of weathering
clay before use, and why the
Elasticity is reduced by bases,
since the aluminium organic COM
pound is soluble in alkali.
Nickel used in the United
States is chiefly imported from
Canada. Large deposits are
known to exist IN Idaho, and an
immense deposit of low-grade
hydrous nickel-magnesium sill
cate occurs at Webster, North
Carolina; but no economical
method for the treatment of such
material has yet been devised.
A large part of the nickel output
is now used in the form of monel
metal, a nickel-copper alloy, SO
the expense of separating and
purifying the nickel is obviated.
Cobalt is chiefly derived from
the Observation-Disclosures
ores of the Cobalt district OF
Ontario, and the. price of the
metal has greatly decreased since
the discovery of the Cobalt dis
trict.

DOINGS OF The Legislature
Is Said to Be Getting Down TO Bust
ness.

The Idaho Legislature is said to
be making progress since the
senatorial deadlock. Up to the
present time the only bills that
have passed, have been ones Gre
ating new counties in the south
ern part of the state.
a great many good bills have
been acted upon, and it is eX-
pected that the few remaining
days will see some of them be-
come laws.
Some of the most important
work of the twelfth session of
the legislature will probably be
done this week. Several import
ant bills have advanced far
enough on the calender so that
they will reach third reading and
final passage before the week is
over, but interest centers in the
Ryan public utilities bill, on
which committee report will
probably be Forthcoming early in
the week.
The public corporations COM
mittee has finished the holding
of public hearings on the meas
ure aud is now preparing its re-
port. If the committee recon-
mend the passage of the bill, ii
will be with the incorporation OF
a number of amendments that
have been suggested, and that
will mean that the measure must
go into the committee of the
whole.
A pork barrel policy will be
established in the house in the
week. Many of the bills thai
have reached third reading or
the calendar are appropriation o.
bond issue bills for roads, bridges
and state institutions, and it will
be for the house to adopt a def
mite policy in the matter of ap
preparations that benefit certain
localities.

MEXICAN ARMY
IN MU7INY
Liberals Felix Diaz and Reyes
from Prison.
Many People Killed in Fight That
Follows.

The army rose in revolt in
Mexico City, took possession of
the public buildings, shot down
federal adherents in the streets
released from prison General
Felix Diaz, leader Of the Vera
Cruz revolt, and, falling into line
under his banner, virtually cap
tured the Mexican capital. Gen.
eral Reyes, also liberated, was
killed in the fighting.
Francisco Madero, president of
the republic, and members of his
cabinet took refuge in the ma
tional palace, where they were
besieged, but with some loyal
troops at their back, succeeded
in defending the palace from the
assaults of the revolutionists.
Madero's family has taken
refuge in the Japanese legation,
and the president is making a
fight, desperate in it's efforts,
against what appears to be enor-
nous odds, for retention of his
power.
General Diaz, who is the
nephew of the deposed president,
Porfrio Diaz, now is at the head
of a majority of the capital
troops, including most of the
artillery, and is in possession of
the arsenal in the city and the
powder works nearby.
Medero is relying on the 10y
atty of General Banquet. who
has been summoned from Toluca,
forty miles distant, but Banquet
has only a thousand men under
his command, and the rebels are
confident of defeating him should
he refuse to join the revolt.
The mutinous troops were lee
by students of the military schoo,
at Tilalpam, a suburb. They
marched to the prison to which
General Felix Diaz had beer
transferred for safe keeping
and released him. Genera
Bernardo REYES also was freeC
from Santiago military prison
there being no resistance ii
either quarter.
To the army of imutineer
quickly came portions Of the frs
cavalry, twenty-fourth cavalr.
and twentieth infantry.
At $50 o'clock the first en-
counter with the loyal troops oc
Cured in front Of the nationa
palace, and General Reyes, who's
long record as an army office
was broken little more than
year ago by a farcical revolt
was killed instantly by a buIle
through the head.
Many fell in this engagement
and among the scores of bodie
which strewed the streets wer
those of minor officers, women
and boys of the lower classe
and members Of the great crow
of spectators which had assem-
bled at the firing Of the frs
shot.

County Option is Fair

1t is said that county option is unfair because if the
county dry all the saloons closed up but if goes
wet you still have Prohibition in towns and villages
That argument is entirely unsound Did this NE

when it wet still have Prohibition in every town that
wanted it? Why did the liquor interests demand that
because went wet there should be Prohibition any
where If had dry there would have been saloons

Because defeat county option the argument
that town have Prohibition if wants it. And whv
