 For MT. and Mrs. Cosgrove on their 6Oth anniversary, May 10, 1917: This is day most tender,
 Both winsome and serene, A picture to remember:
 The hearth fires ruddy gleam, The bride and groom of sixty years,
 With yet touch of spring, Having past the winter of life's fears
 And time can only bring Rest and reward and memories
 Of all the pleasant ways The Lord hath led until they've reached
 These happy tranquil days, Their highest aim to make this earth
 A fairer, holier place And thus to prove that life and love
 Are free gifts by Gods grace.

STATUS OF SILVER.
Mining American, Denver)


Silver. went above the dollar mark
with a speed that astonished many
people. 1t was expected to reach this
high point in due time. For the past
two weeks, the swing of the pendulum
has been in the opposite direction.
This should cause no special uneasl-
ness concerning the market status OF
this metal. Silver will continue
strong for a long time to come; but,
as we have heretofore said, its pro-
gress will not be without series or
up and down swings. The recent up
ward swing was altogether too fast
and far. 1t overtopped the market.
Holders of the metal were quick to
unload The demand for silver was,
for the time being, satisfied. During
the succeeding days the demand for 1t
did not approximate the offerings, and
bids slumped.
The oscillation in the negative di-
rection has about reached its end. At
ter a brief pause at this minimum
price, there must again occur posi-
tive motion and, if this does not as
sumo too great speed, the next high
point for silver will be little higher
than its last one. We look for dollar
and-ten silver before long.

MINING At ELK CITY.
Much Activity in the Old Camp and
Surrounding District.

(Grangeville Free Press.)
More than 100 men are employed In
mining in the Elk City district, ac-
cording to Maynard F. Tyler, of Elk
City, in a letter to the Idaho Mining
association. A number of properties
are operating and in the course Of de-
velopment work an ore body five feet
wide has been struck. This ore car
ries about $14 ton in gold.
The Black Pine. says Mr.. Taylor, has
recently started milling with an entire
ly new plant. The mill has a capacity
of fifty tons. The Orogrande Gold
Mining company has installed a new
200-ton milling plant and will put 1t
in operation shortly. The mill is mo-
dern throughout.
Fifty men are employed at Newsome
and Ten Mile and about forty at the
Orogrande. The district tributary to
Elk City has taken on more activity
han has prevailed for a number Of
years.

Information on Certain Minerals.

As the return on the census of ge-
ologists reach the United States geo.
logical survey, requests for additional
information are being sent out to those
indicating that they have specific
knowledge of the following minerals:
Chromite, platinum, potash, mangan-
ese, tin, iron pyrites, mica, graphite,
arsenic, antimony and bismuth. In
this way the survey expects to col
lect valuable information with regard
to developing greater domestic pro-
duction of the minerals mentioned.

WHAT SHERMAN SAID.
Paragraph in Which Noted General
Used Famous Expression.

General Sherman's often quoted and
at the present time most significant
statement regarding war, is not known
by many in its entirety. Here is what
the famous general really did say, and
II Is a classic:
Il confess without shame that am
tired and sick of war. It's glory Is
all moonshine. Even success, the
most brilliant, Is over dead and man
gled bodies, the anguish and lamenta-
ton of distant families appealing to
me for missing sons, husbands and
fathers. 1t is only those who have
not heard shot nor heard the shrieks
and groans of the wounded and LAGER
ated, that cry aloud for more blood
more vengeance, more desolation
War is hell!

OF the incline railway. AS the shoes
wear smooth from contact with the
rail they pick up speed, and at times
couple Of daring coal diggers will
race on opposite rails from the top
to the bottom. But as a rule they
take the trip carefully and earnestly
so as not to interfere with the rights
of the road that may belong to a
neighbor before or after them.
Company Don't Object.
The scheme, of course, will not work
up bill, and the road has to bring the
men back on crowded cars that are not
so comfortable or exhilarating as the
individual coasters that come scooting
down the mountain in the morning.
The number of missing mule shoes
when the idea first got vogue was per-
picking, and it was some time before
the company storekeepers found out
why the stocks were being depleted
by such odd lots that no amount of
shoeing extravaganza could account
for it.
But the miner In those parts Is
law unto himself. since he rose up
twenty years ago and put a forclbls
end to the convict system of working
the mines, and the owners, mindful Of
the fact that the state of Tennessee
had to keep a standing army for two
years to keep the peace at that time,
do not intend to let little thing like
a mule shoe create any disturbance.

MINERS COAST TO WORK
WAY DOWN IN TENNESSEE
MAKE PRACTICAL APPLICATION
OF MoNoRAIL TRANsPoRTA.
TON DOWN HILL ONLY.

A queer gravity railroad scheme Is
man district of Tennessee, not far from
the little town of South Pittsburg.
The region has, by the way, more
different kinds of means of transporta-
ton than any other in the world. The
range is from the steeply inclined cable
road that runs up Lookout Mountain,
not so many miles away, to the idea
that the miners evolved for them
selves after watching section bosses
use gravity cars for coasting down the
mountains says the New York Sun.
The mines nestle in valley at the
foot of series Of hills, and the rail-
road track winds its tortuous way
from the mine openings up to the
heights that lead to the outside world
Many of the miners live in the set
Elements on the hills, and 1t is long
way to the shaft openings. One day
some bright genius discovered that a
mule shoe would fit over the top of the
T rail that marked the course of the
railroad
Mule Shoe Toboggan.
II was but an inventive step to at
tach the shoe to a short board and
then slip the mountain rail sled over
the track Then all Mr.. Miner had to
do was to balance himself, pick up his
feet and transport miner, pick and din
ner bucket down the mountain to
work. OF course, it was one way traf-
fic for which the road got no money
but there was no conductor, no strap
hanging and no stopping to buy tic
kets on the mule shoe route.
Early any morning the stranger may
see the miners come along with their
mule shoe toboggans, calmly take q
seat and begin the descent.

serves as brake to regulate the speed

A Courteous Invitation.

In Mabel Syrup's Colyum in the Barre
Daily Times, Mabel asks, did you ever
pause to ponder over the deviation of
proper names that the eye encounters as
it travels over map of Vermont The
query continues by taking up those
towns in the state where the deviation
is most noticeable and includes this, is
there beach in Brighton7" We are glad
to say that the deviation in this instance
is not so glaring as implied, for there is
a beach in Brighton, one of the finest
found on inland waters. A long beach
of white sand. that makes . delightful
promenade for tourists, campers and
bathers. The clear crystal waters of
our beautiful pond-we prefer to call it
lake-washes over this white sand with
a never ceasing ripple and rhythm that
makes it enhancing. We hope Mabel
may have the pleasure OF watching the
play of the waves on Brighton beach
some day that she may see the deviation
in this instance is not so marked as
cursory glance at the map would indi-
cate. When she saw the beauties of our
lake with its island and beach we be-
lieve like the queen of Shebs, she would
exclaim, "the half has never been told"

THE PLACE OF THE NEWSPAPER.

THE PLACE OF THE NEWSPAPER
The value Of the newspaper to the pub
lie was again shown in Waterbury last
week when the clergy of the community
barred by edict of the state board OF
health from preaching from the pulpit,
spoke to the entire people through the
columns of the Waterbury Record, one
of their number taking advantage of the
opportunity. This is one OF the very
many ways in which the newspaper can
| be of benefit TO community; and the
incident serves to call to attention that
the newspaper is very valuable adjunct.
The average reader is perhaps prone to
treat the newspaper mot only the Wa
terbury Record, but all newspapersl with
scant consideration, so thoroughly in
grained has it become in the system OF
existence; but once let a single issue of
the paper be missed and there would be
consciousness of something lacking in
ness would not, perhaps, be of lasting
force. because the human mind is able to
adapt itself to almost any circumstances,
and sooner or later the gap would be
closed up and the current of life would
90 on. Nevertheless, the loss of the only
newspaper in community which had
long been accustomed to such a daily or
weekly medium of conveying informa-
ton would react severely against the
progressiveness of that community. III
would not be so easily possible to set on
foot projects for the civic betterment OF
the place; it would not be possible to set
the higher and better things of life be-
fore the whole peoples it would not be
possible to maintain so correct moral
tone as it is possible through right
minded newspaper; it would not be pos
sible for the people to keep in such close
touch with the progress of the world and
of their own community; it would not be
known what they had to meet the peo-
pies desires and wants. And SO on
through long list of agencies which |
the newspaper serves. They are almost
without number; that is, when the news
paper is conducted along the best lines
such as, by the way, the Waterbury |
Record strives to do. We have no doubt |
that the people of Waterbury, as of
every other community which has a
would regret exceedingly to
be deprived of that regular visitor.

AMUSEMENT NOTES
"a Daughter of the Gods the Novel of
the Screen.

How many times have we read that
inspiring story by Lew Wallace which
features the bodily and soul triumphs,
dangers and defeats of young Ben Hur,
in his effort to follow his guiding star,
the ideals of early Christianity! In Will
liam Fox picture beautiful, "A Daugh-
ter of the Gods" Anita" called "The
Lovely" battles, suffers, endures and
finally loses her life establishing her di-
vine right of way through the evils which
beset the children of earth. And in los
ing her life, through the purest, hottest
love, she finds it again in three incarna-
tions on the screen, and on and on in
definitely, just as Ben-Hur must have
done after he was lost to view in the
last pages of Wallace's fascinating story.
The great chariot race episode in the
book has been equalled, if not surpassed,
in the photoplay. Miss Annette Keller
mann, the Venus of the Goth century,
runs water race against pursuing black
slaves that is tensely gripping, and this
is only one thrill in one of six great cpl
sodes.

1t is probable that the navy will have
the first chance to strike blow in de-
Tense of the nation if the emergency
comes; and it follows, therefore, that tho
navy must be recruited up TO its full
strength and, in addition, have sizeable
body of recruits for the service, in order
to make that blow effective. Here is a
splendid chance for the young men of the
nation to act for their country and also
to place themselves in line for advance
ment in the naval service The enlist
ments following President Wilson's order
last night ought to be prompt and so
numerous as to fill up the ranks.
