real participation in government
1t was physically impossible for
Roman citizens i'm Asia, Africa,

to vote. and it did not occur to
them, or to Rome, to choose re-
Personalities to voyage to the
Capital.
But there is mental as we'll

aiken as a joke by great many
throughout the state. especially
by some of our nearby towns and
their little imky-dink papers.
Those four railroadh are going

railroads in two years have doubl
ed the population of Paramount,
and we are still growing, more
buildings, under construction
than all the towns in Richland
county put together. Those
four railroads were the cause of
bringing the Equity people here
and organizing milling company
with capital of 100000. This
concern has the promise. i'm fact
we have the promise of the sup
port from the Equity Farmers
Organization that takes in Sum-
NIT and Wahpcton districts. We
met some of the strong Equity
people from around the cOlnmuni

be moved near the Equity mill,

were several parties after this
building for similar purposes. We
have not heard what they intend
doing, but there will be some de-

SLEIGH BELLS JINGLE.

The Salmon river country is enjoy
ing ITS first real sleighing in years.
Not since the rigorous winter of 1869,
peted the terra firma to a depth of
three and half inches has a bob sled,
punk or cutter been seen here. The
spell was broken however Monday al
ternoon, when shower of white des-
eended upon the foot hills and made
the sleighing fine. Forthwith Dave
Brown, the progressive manager of the
Grangeville New Meadows stage line
got busy and hustled out an old
punk which he used for transporta-
ton purposes exactly forty-six years
ago. This antique piece of sliding
machinery holds an exceptional record
for quick constructiveness, in that it
was manufactured by Wallace Hill one
morning before breakfast at cost of
$3.50. 1t stands in marked contrast to
the excellent lot of paraphenalia owned
by Mr.. Brown at the present time. The
honor of driving this ancient stage
sled on its second expedition between
White Bird and Lucille was conferred
upon one, "Beardie' Duham, who
mounted the seat and sat thereon with
a dignity becoming Jehu. 1t is not
known whether he drove it on its mi
tial trip. So elated are the natives of
this plice over the recent snow fall
that many of the older heads have been
seen out eoasting with the school boys

has been a magician. He is constant
" inventing new things in magic and
Illusions. Magic. like everything else.
has progressed with rapid strides dur
ing the past few years.
Reno has the usual light parapher-

ordinary evening dress and 50 adroitly
as to escape detection In every case.
In this respect he is a worder. He
does things that seem absolutely impos-
sible of execution without the aid OF
supernatural agency.
One of his performances that never
fail to amaze his audiences Is known
as the "dove trick" He burr.s a piece
of common paper. and a dove rises
phoenix-like from the ashes. He an
parently tears the dove in two, only to
ind that he has two doves in his hands.
