W7HEN the young man who had been
w struck from behind by a skidding
taxicab woke up in the hospital on
the following afternoon, the first person
to rush to his side was a man he had never
seen before in his life.
After the cordially sympathetic stranger
had uttered few words, the injured man
wondered if the accident, besides breaking
him physically, had played tricks with his
memory.
Addressing him by his first name, the
stranger spoke in fearful accents about
how sorry Everybody" felt.
"Who do you mean-everybody?" in
quired the man on the cot-who was q
newcomer to the city.
3And everybody's mighty sore about
the way that taxi-driver steered into you, !"
went on the stranger, ignoring the ques-
ton. @They all say you ought to sue that
taxicab company and collect big dam

Beware the Shyster Lawyer

Wen split the proceeds-ffty-fifty. Why,
you ought to make $500. It's cinch!s
The victim signed the retainer.
The taxicab company, knowing the
character Of their assailants, decided to
take the case to court. The "live-wire'
attorneys demanded $1,000 damages, and
were awarded $1,000. According to the
verbal agreement, the injured man should
have received $500. Did he receive $500?
Decidedly not. After the "costs' and the
"fees' and the "incidentalss were de-
tracted, he received check for $185.
Knowing nothing about illegal prac-
tices, and suffering no other Inconvenience
than limp which he would enjoy as long
as he lived, he gulped-and accepted the
check.
Aside from the fact that his meager
share Of the $1,000 made the injured man
the brunt Of a rascally transaction, the
attorneys had played the game crookedly

age to a blacksmith Eleven hours of

him when he became one of the central
figures of his day.

canoe.
While the injured man was turning this
pleasant thought over in his mind, his
caller took out fountain pen and some
paper.
ave all think you ought to collect big
damages, went on the man genially, "and
it just happens that l represent a firm of
live-wire lawyers who make speciality Of
such cases as yours. You've got sure

Michael Faraday's Early Struggle
WHEN Sir Humphry Davy, the great
w chemist, was asked what he consid-
cred his greatest discovery, he replied:
@Michael Faraday." Faraday was appren-
ticed as lad to a bookbinder. While
working on the Encyclopedias Britannica
he absorbed every bit of knowledge that
his eye could take in at glance At the
close of his days work he would read the
articles that interested him. One article
on electricity fired his ambition. He went
to hear Sir Davy lecture, and the next
night summoned courage to write letter
telling the famous chemist of his own am
bitions. Sir Davy became interested in
the lad, and employed him to clean in
struments in his laboratory. 1t was not
long before Faraday, the poor boy who
had had no chance, was invited to lecture
before the great philosophical Society.
Sir Davy himself started his career in the
attic of chemists shop.
If genius like Gladstone always carried
a book in his pocket lest spare moment
be wasted, what, pray, can you and be
thinking about when we squander hours?
This is the question that the people on
this page asked themselves. Then they
began to study at home. They are just
few of great host of folk who are forging
ahead in the face Of difficulties; who can't
be held down by any misfortune or any
circumstance.
There was no room in America, when
Lincoln lived, for the man who complained

VICTIM OF DISC HARROW.
Arthur Austin Falls Under Machine
and Receives Painful Injuries

Arthur Austin, a yong man employ
ed by Charles eager in the Tolo sec
tion, had narrow escape from death
Tuesday afternoon of this week when
runaway team dragged disc harrow
over him, resulting in a deep cut in the
back of his head, cuts on his arm and
other parts of the body besides a num-
ber of painful bruises.
eager and Austin were working ON
some summer fallow in field during
the afternoon when something went
wrong with the machine eager was
running requiring the attention of both
men to fix. Austin left his team and
disc standing a short distance from
where he was assisting eager and the
animals becoming frightened, struck
down the field, missing eager as he
jumped out of the way but Austin,
who was standing near where they
passed, grabbed the animals by the bit
in an attempt to stop them. He was
jerked down under the horses and run
over by the disc resulting in the in
juries above noted and rendering him
unconscious for four hours. DIR. Stock
ton was called and dresser the wounds
and otherwise fixed him up and as
a result today he is resting easier and
on the road to recovery. Due to the
ground being summer fallow the young
man probably owes his life today.

SECRETARY LANE Announces MIN

This therefore leaves open to the
northwest, particularly Northern Idaho
and Eastern Washington an opportun,
ity to procure the location of the min
ing experiment station at either Spo-
kane, Butte, or Moscow. Evidently the
Idaho delegation coop rating with the
Montana delegation in Congress, to give
an opportunity to procure the station
at one of the three places noted above
succeeded in having the selection of
Seattle as the location withheld until
further information could be presented,
with the view of selecting one of the
three places above mentioned
1t is very much in the interest Of
this region, as well as northern Idaho,
eastern Washington and western Mon.
tana that the station be located in one
of the three places, Moscow, Seattle or
Butte. OF the three, Moscow would
seem to be the most preferable and the
place that could best serve adjacent
sections. The University of Idaho,
with its department of mining, would
furnish splendid facilities for the WORK
of the station. Those interested should
write their congressman and put them.

A message received last night by the
Free Press discloses the information
that deal was closed yesterday in
Spokane, whereby the Equator Mining
Company which company owns the
Buck Horn group of mining claims at
Golden, Idaho, disposed of their hold
ings for 100000 to Seattle capitalists.
This deal has been pending for some
time Full information of the terms is
not available as we go to press.
The Buckhorn group is located at
Golden, Idaho in the Ten Mile district.
There is small mill on the property
which has been handling five or six
tons of ore a day, with good returns,
only the free gold values being saved.
The work has been in charge of G. z,
Sample and his two associates, who
have devoted their entire time for the
past few years, and all their returns
from the mill, in developing of the pro-
perty. The property is low grade
proposition and there is an immense
amount of ore blocked out for milling.
The new owners plan to equip and
erect a new mill with modern machin-
cry for ore reduction.
This speaks for futher activity and
operation in the Ten Mile district. Al
present there is only one property, that

UP FROM LEWISTON.

Hon. L. G. Hattabaugh, of Lewiston,
came up this week on business matters
connected with the Western Union In.
surance Co. of which he is district
manager. Mr.. Hattabaugh states Lewis.
tom is very good in a business way this
year there being considerable improve
ments in the way of new buildings, etc.
In speaking of the political situation
he stated he could see no reason for the
defeat of Wilson as the people nova
days do their own thinking and with
hogs at nine cents and better, wheat q
dollar ten and barley better than one
forty, cattle keeping up with the high
prices, lumber going up and the manu-.
featuring centers of the east working
two or three shifts, the full dinner pail
cry of the opposition was a dead issue
and would receive very little considera-
tion by the voters who have come to
realize this country was never in bet,
ter shape and thanks to Wilson we are
at peace with the world and occupy
position that must be the envy of the
war stricken countries of Europe reek-
ing today with misery, desolation and
death.
