stock butter cartons have advanced in
price. but while these last we are
going to sell them at the same old rate

$500; and 100, $l.35. This lot will last
only short time; if you are in need of
any order at once for when these are

G. P. Moore has sold his ranch and
cattle to the Dickerson Bros. and has
moved to his home in East Dolores.
Mr.. Moore says that all he has left is
two mules, horse and buggy, just
what he brought with him when he
drove into the country some thirty five
years ago. Of course. they are not
the same ones he brought in. However,
the hard work and careful attention to
business exercised by him and his wife
during these years is represented by
a home in this place and $50, 500 con-
sideration for his ranch and cattle.
This is the country to make good in if
you are willing to hustle and attend to
business. George says he is going to
rest now, but it is safe guess that he
will not rest very long as he is not of
the resting kind.

Twain and the Rivermen.

Mark Twain once told to a party of
friends the following story on himself:
On one occasion when he started on
a trip down the Mississippi river on
fatboat he was advised never to an
swer the questions asked by rivermen
on other boats and never to handy
words with them, as he would be sure
always TO come out second best. He
followed the advice religiously for a
time, but one day he thought he saw a
chance to get the better of riverman
who called out:
Hey, thar, what yer loaded with?''
"Jackasses. Don't you want to come
aboardY yelled back Twain.
That's whit | reckoned seem as
how they let Their biggest donkey hev
Their run of the deckv' came back.
Twain made a dive below as all the
rivermen In the neighborhood set up
derisive laugh at his expense.

Tricked the Colonel.

Some Irishmen are nothing II not
ingenious. Here is a good story told
Of one, terrible scamp serving in
South Africa under Colonel Hamilton
Browne. On discharge he asked for
a character and was given one by the
colonel SO bad as should ordinarily
have barred him from employment for
ever.
Some time later the colonel met him,
a most prosperous man and about to
embark for the mother country.
But" said the colonel "how was it
that people, reading such a character
as | gave you should have been so
taken in?'
Read It," the scamp replied. "Never
a one Of them read it and for a very
good reason, as not one of them could
read a word of English. 1t was the
lion and the unicorn fighting for the
crown on the top Of the official paper
that did tho trick, and that's what

HIGHEST DAM IN THE WORLD.
Difficulties Overcome In Building tho
Arrowrock, In Idaho.

The dam is built in a narrow, precip-
itous canyon, through which the turbu-
lent Boise river races. Its name Is
gained from a gigantic rock in that
canyon, the Arrowrock, which had
won Its name from the custom Of the
rowing Indians, who shot arrows into
the face of 1t to tell their comrades
which way they had Travelled. By the
angle of the arrow the late corners
knew whether those in advance had
gone up stream or down or up one Of
the many tributaries.
The construction of the dam COM
menced in 1911, although much prelim-
mary and preparatory work had been
done before that. the most important
being that of diverting the river from
the site of the dam while the building
was in progress. This was done by
cutting tunnel through the canyon
walls for 500 feet and turning the
river through that. This tunnel was
large enough to carry the river at its
highest food and was lined with CO.
ment. When the dam was finished the
tunnel was plugged with solid cement,
In order to reach solid rock on which
10 anchor the dam foundation it was
necessary to go down ninety-one feet
below the normal bed of the river. No
less than 225,OOO cubic yards Of soil
and gravel were removed TO lay bare
this bedrock.
The dam as finished is 34S feet high.
240 feet thick at the base. tapering to
sixteen feet at the top. where there is
a fine driveway. lighted at night with
artistic electric lamps. The length Of
the dam is 1000 feet, curving grace
fully upstream with radius of 662
feet. In its construction 100000 cubic
yards Of cement were used, sufficient
to make column ten feet square and
twenty-sevep miles high. +. STRAIT

HUMAN VISION.
Farsight, Nearsight and Method In
Testing the Eyes.

Farsight or nearsight-which is bet
ter? We must remember that he who
has unusually acute vision for objects
at great distance can rarely thread a
needle or read small print withou t
glasses, while the person whose near
vision Is so acute as TO serve him al
most like microscope sees distant OBJ
jects as blurred mass.
The Medical Record comments on
how little is known as to the extent
OF vision Of the farsighted and still less
of the nearsighted." We have two eyes
In order that our vision may be stereo-
scopic and it Is thus that we are able
to Judge of the relative distances of OBJ
jects, and it brings a greater field be-
fore the retina at one time, but the
sight Of two eyes is no keener than
that Of one. Indeed If there be re-
quired greater intensity in a given
field 1t is natural tendency to obscure
the vision Of one eye" That Is why
most women close one eye when thread
ing fine needle and why men in firing
a rife ut a target shut one eye.
The Medical Record doubts the value
of uniform tests for eyesight, urging
that tests be made in relation to def
mite occupations. For example, a very
nearsighted man would be totally inca
pacitated from work In the field Of
transportation. yet admirably fitted for
such work as engraving. A very far
sighted man. on the other hand, who
would be utterly useless as a proof
reader or a gem setter, might be a
prize as field surveyor, a forest rang
er or even a locomotive engineer.
MANY misfts.' says the Medical
Record, ''can be prevented by deter
mining the kind of occupation the in
dividual will be best fitted for. In the
last analysis it should be the aim to
educate the vision one has to greater
powers by calling to aid all sources Of
orientation-to educate and train Wis
ual perception so that one may per
ceive more Of the objects within the
field of ones vision"

long illness. Though the embryo doc

he was only a student and had taken

When he approached the matter,
however, the gruff old man spoke out
brusquely: Don't you know the Ell

A Well Spent Day.

II you sit down at set of sun
And count the acts that you have done
And, counting, find
One self denying act, one word
That eased the heart of him who heard,
One glance most kind
That fell like sunshine where Ii went
Then you may count that day we'll spent,
But If through all the livelong day
You've cheered no heart by yea or nay,
If through II all
You've nothing done that you can trace
That brought the sunshine to one face,
No act most small
That helped some soul and nothing cost,
Then count that day as worse than lost.
