with ice, the packet ceased to run,

through on its regular trips, except
when snow or slush rendered the
roads impossible, but passengers were
very few. Twice there were wrecks,
one of fishing schooner, the crew of
which were fortunate enough to es-
cape by taking to the dories, and an
other, a British bark, which struck on
the farthest bar and was beaten to
pieces by the great waves, while the
townspeople stood helplessly watching
from the shore, for launching boat
in that surf was impossible. Mr.. Pep
per made no more calls at the parson-
age, and when the minister met him,
at church or elsewhere, seemed anx-
ious to avoid an interview.

Annovinu Honesty.

Having vouched for the honesty OF
the woman who wished situation as
scrubwoman, the good-naturcd man
was subjected to a severe examina
ton by the superintendent of the
building.
"There are degrees of honesty" said
the superintendent. "How honest is
she?"
The good-natured man reflected

so honest that if you throw anything
that looks to be worth copper into

the superintendent, and he hired the

Lavinia got herself elected dele

tain Elkanah, Mrs. Mayo, and others,
to the conference. She was a faithful
attendant at the meetings and seemed
to be having very good time. She
introduced the minister to one Caleb
Pratt, resident of Sandwich, whom
she said she had known ever since
she was girl.
"Mr. Pratt's a cousin of Thankful
Payne over to home volunteered La
vinia. You know Thankful, Mr.. FL

Lavfnia confided to her pastor that
Mr.. Pratt made the best shoes in Os-

ought to try him sometime. She added

new PLANTS DISCOVERED
125 New Species Found by Govern.
ment Experts.

| In making study of grazing lands
on the tational forests, 1926 entirely
new species of plants have been dis
covered by the governments experts,
and will be named and classified by
the botanists of the department of ag-
riculture.
| Their discovery came about through
the collection of some 5000 different
plant specimens, with notes as to their
| habits of growth and forage value.
This work is part of a comprehen-
slve plan to determine the grazing
value of every acre of national forest
land in which the capacity of the soil
to grow certain forage crops is to be
determined and an effort made to de-
eide for which class of stock-sheep,
cattle. or goats-the range Is best
suited
The men who have made the studies
have combined the qualities of prac-
t1cal stockmen and trained botanists.
They divided the areas into such small
subdivisions that maps have been pre-
pared which show exactly the kinds
OF feed which grow on each acre, and
the time of year it is ready for graz
ing. The maps also show the stocks
water supply and indicate the kind of
stock best suited to the area.
The investigation also showed the
examiners many areas covered with
flourfshing plants which apparently
should furnish excellent grazing, but
which were not of a character relished
by stock; these areas, therefore had
little or no stock-carrying capacity.
AS result of the study, the forest
service announces that it will he in
position to perfect its system of graz
ing management to bring about still
better conditions for both stock and
range.

be taken by President Wilson in the
Mexican situation will be made until
former Governor John Lind of Mime
sofa. personal representative of the
president, arrives in Mexico City and
familiarizes himself with conditions
there. This was made clear at the
White House today. Lind carries in
structions to talk informally with
prominent Mexicans. Officials indi-
Gated that no steps toward mediation
would be attempted until Lind sound
ed out sentiment in Mexico.
Lind will inform inquirers, on the
authority of the president, that only a
government constitutionally set up
will be recognized. This involves the

SHIPPING RICH ORE
Mines at Rochester, Nevada, Sending
Out Silver.

Herbert Lawrence has returned to
the city after an absence of eighteen
months, the greater part OF which
time he has spent in the mountains or
Nevada. He has made several loca-
lions which at times looked very
promising, and his last one is in the
vicinity of the Rochester camp, where
he has some very rich ore When seen
this morning Mr. Lawrence said he
was not prepared to make any state
ment regarding the new property To-
Gated until they bad had time to make
some tests with this ore and complete
certain work on the property.
Regarding the new camp of Roches-
ter he said that it was a proven min
eral country and the best find that
had been made In the west thus far
during the year. They are shipping
some very rich ore at this time. and
somthing like 100 tons of ore daily
represents the output from the Nenzel
estate. There is nice profit on all
this ore and some of it is particularly
of high grade.
A small lot has just been shipped
from the Big Four lease which gives
returns of 5S4 ounces of silver to the
ton. OF this ore the leasers claim that
they have three feet of 1t, and this ex-
traction will prove to be very profit
able to both the company and the les
sees. Mcneil hill continues to be the
attraction Of the camp and there is no
further question but that section will
give up large amount 1t ore, some of
which can be more profitably handled
by treatment on the ground
The people of Rochester are consid-
erably interested in the reports that
the Tonopah- Belmont people have be-
come interested in this Nenzel group.
They interpret this to mean that the
property will be developed on a large
scale and that \ reduction plant will
be erected. It win require some time
to do this work and make the improve
ments, but It will result in placing the
camp on q permanent earning basis.

new PARCEL POST RULES
Order Will Work Hardship on Mail
Order Houses.


The parcels post regulation an Au-
gust 18th will work hardship on the
mail order and catalogue houses and
will assist the local men in securing

lation 20-pound parcel which is
mailable may be sent distance OF one
hundred and fifty miles for "a cents,
while parcel of similar weight sent
from the big mail order houses of Chi
cago would cost the sender $2.O1.
AS an illustration, 20-pound par
eel may be sent a distance as great as
from American Falls, Idaho, to La
Grande, Oregon, for rs cents, while the
same weight parcel sent into the same
territory from Chicago would cost
$2O1. This will prove distinct adj
vantage to the local dealers and will
permit them to serve their patrons

nection with the new parcels post rul-
ings.
