The Uses Of Wood.

Wood Is "a natural product and is cheap It is soft but stronger than Is usually supposed. It cleaves or splits and issyery elastic and resists bending to a marked degree Wood is light and Is a poor conductor of heat and elec- tricity.

pearing for the defendant. About ten
witnesses in all were called by the pro
secution. The witnesses testified that
to the best of their belief the horse in
question was the property of Rhett, tho
none of the witnesses could positively
identify the horse. When the evidence
was all in Mr.. Hattabaugh arose and
asked the court for a dismissal of the
case, stating in substance that doubt
existed as to the ownership of the
horse, and stating further that the
evidence submitted was insufficient to
convict Ashby or bind him over to the
district court. Judge Zerr then dis
missed the charges against Ashby and
gave the horse over to
Rhett, tho no positive decision could be
reached as to who the animal rightfully
belonged to. An animal resembling the
one in dispute, and belonging to Ashby
cannot now be found nor accounted for.

HORSE DROPPED DEAD.

A strange coincidence which reads
more like fiction than fact took place
at the ranch of Ed Gage near higgins a
few days ago. Mr.. Gage was attempt
ing to round up a horse belonging to
Mrs. Ira York, the animal plunged into
barbed wire ENHANCEMENT, injuring
itself to such an extent that it had
to be shot. Stepping into the tele-
phone Mr.. Gage notified Mrs. York of
the accident who Immediately saddled
another horse and rode to the scene of
the tragedy. As Mrs. York drew up to
the spot where the carcass of the animal
lay, the horse she was riding, a life
long mate of the dead equine, broke
down in the knees, collapsed to the
ground and breathed its last. 1t is
supposed that the animal was attacked
with heart failure.

NEW MINERAL FOUND In IDAHO

Kieselguhr, mineral which conducts
neither heat, cold nor electricity, is re-
ported to have been discovered in
quantities in Eastern Idaho, and Jones
q Baker of New York one OF the lead
ing mining concerns of the East has a
representative in Salt Lake now who
has been looking over the situation in
Idaho. Diamond drill tests which have
been made in Idaho north of Soda
Springs, have disclosed to the engineers
in charge of the work that there are
more than 1o0,000,0OO tons of the
mineral in that section of the state.
1t is said that the mineral also is non
conductor of sound.
Experiments were ,aade with the
mineral in Germany, where it was first
discovered. 1t is silica and not n
fiber, such as asbestos, and it is said
to have produced good reults whe..
used a filler for steam pipes, insulation
for high tension lines and for the in
side walls of refrigerators. The only
other known vein of the mineral in the
United States is small bed in Cali
fornia. 1t is the intentions of Jones
q Barker to begin operations at once
on the kieselguhr beds of Idaho
Chieftain, Soda Springs.

WORKS PRISONERS ON ROADS

The Moscow Mirror states that under
the new law Sheriff Campbell of Latah
fonnty has been working four prisoners
on county roads, the men at present be-
ing engaged in handling sand at the
pit south of town. The working of the
four men is saving of SO per day the
Mirror states and it is planned to put a
larger force to work later. Deputy
Sheriff Hall is supervising the work.
1t would seem that this plan is a good
one and beneficial to the prisoners to
relieve from their confinement and also
profitable to the county. Latah county
seems to be the first county to report
on this provision of the law and its
application.

The Weeks News From
Salmon River Country
FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT
WHITE BIRD PROSPEROUS.

That the city of White Bird is at
the present time passing thru an era
OF unprecedented prosperity is the
i opinion advanced by several of the
leading business men of the town who
are conversant with local business con
ditions. 1t is generally conceded that
commercial activities ON the outside are
unusually quiet, and at this season of
the year depression is generally ex-
perieneed here owing to the fact that
the termination of the school year when
large numbers of people move back to
their ranches, and the stoekmen retire
to the higher mountain ranges, the
town becomes badly depopulated.
This year however, an opposite con
dition prevails. Not only are there no
vacant houses for rent but houses are
at premium A number of new fami-
lies have moved in lately and more are
headed this way. Five or six new bust
ness establishments have sprung up in
the past two months among them being
harness shop, Jewelry store, livery
barn and restaurant. Alfred Donald
son, cashier of the local bank states
that the deposits OF the bank are per
ceptably larger than at any time in
the history of that institution and are
constantly on the increase. There is
strong talk here now that high school
department will be added to the gram
mar grades this fall and an additional
teacher employed. 1t is contended that
this department would have at least
twenty pupils to begin with and the
number would gradually increase.
BY instituting high school here
scores of families would come here to
educate their children who are now com
PEELED to go elsewhere.

About Quails

In our Journeys through the
country we are glad to note quite
number of quAils and other birds.
We wonder II the farmers really un-
derstand that bunch Of fifteen
quails on his farm are actually worth
$500 to him every year. Such q
bunch would pick up an average of
ten to twenty worms and bugs
every day, and that means from one
to two thousand every week, How
much crop will the two Thousand
pests destroy?
Now, maybe the said farmer has
some friend he will invite out this
fall to shoot the quails. Isn't 1t
rather expensive to donate your
friend $500 in one day? If the said
friend has your welfare at heart, he
will decline to injure you this way.
And maybe some needless ignorant
fellow will come along and kill them
without your invitation. About that
time Mr.. Farmer ought to have
ready a gatling battery of about
twenty water-elm clubs. and beat
the seldom brains of the fellow into
his neck. If he got into your poultry
yard and killed your chickens, you'd
have him arrested; but you'll allow
him to destroy bird worth $500 to
you, and thus destroy the best insect
insurance you can get, and perhaps
invite him to do It. 1t isn't right
either morally or financially, If the
fellow is out Of meat, give him
chicken, but positively decline to let
him shoot your quails and other birds,
Post your farm, and protect them, by
force If necessary.

Speaking of High Salaries

The railroad magnates are shedding
tears these days on account of what
they call the unfair treatment given
them. The general public for some
reason objects to piliDg up an addit-
ional burden of several hundred mill
ion dollars year In the way of in
creased freight rates and passenger
fares, The railroad magnates Insist
that this objection OF the general
public is the most unreasonable. SO
far however, there has not been not
iced any disposition to reduce the
salaries of high officials In the rail-
road business.
For a good while the Rock Island
has been in hard lines. 1t has been
limited strongly that the road was
looted by financial pirates and this
has been given as reason for It's dis
tressed condition. But, the road Is
now in the hands OF receivers. IT
must be said that very competent
men have been selected to act as re-
ceivers. Our own Henry Nudge is
one, and the people of Kansas be-
lieye that Henry Nudge is as COM
petent railroad man as there is in
the United States.
1 observe that the court has fixed
the salaries of these receivers at SO,
600 month. In view OF the fact that
the road is bankrupt and the widows
and orphans who are so touchingly
referred to by the railroad magnates
as the purchasers of railroad stocks,
are not likely to get any dividends,
