Ho, Hum, How Sleepy We Are!

A story of a drifting mine which
came ashore on the Durham coast
some time ago, and gave rise to an
amusing incident, which might have
easily resulted In a tragedy, Is old by
the London Morning Post.
zone Saturday afternoon the mine
sweeping division at the admiralty re-
ceived a long-distance telephone call
from the local Durham police, who
stated that a mine had been washed
ashore. but that before they or the
coast guard could warn people off, a
miner-who had lunched well-had
clambered on top of 1t and gone to
sleep. What were they to do? They

later the police, In a very relieved
voice. reported that the man had awak-
ened of his WI accord and had slid
off the mine into safety"

that would supply the home demand
for dairy products, and at the same
time build up and maintain soil fer

by enforcing a proper rotation of

Practically every farmer raises hogs
some more and some less. The aver

hog raising. He keeps three or four
sows, which produce 20 to 80 pigs.

DELINQUENT TAX LIST
INDEX OF THE MAJORITY

Homer Estes, clerk of the district
court, has completed he delinquent
list and the totals Saturday. This list
was for the second half of the 1920
taxes which had been due July L.
There are 103 names certified on real
and personal property. The names,
descriptions, and sums are appended
to each The real and personal prop
erty amounts to $2,952.62 to which
six per cent is added, or $17717.
This gives a total of $3129.79 de-
linquency and to the amount of the

ded, as interest. The delinquent tax
payers can come in within three years
to pay the delinquent claims or they
can be forwarded to the office of the
district clerk, who is clerk also to the
county commissioners. Failure to pay
means that the properties listed will
revert to the county by deed and that
sale of the same will be ordered at
the expiration of the time stated.

of the prosperity of the county for

RARE IMPRESSION FOLLOWS
VISIT TO MICA MINES-A
SPLENDID RESULT.

That Latah county has four i'm
mense deposits of fire clays equal to
any in the United States if not to say
superior; that the feldspar, consti-
tuent used in the manufacture of the
best China white ware is to be found
near these deposits; that the clays are
equal to the best deposits in England; !;
and that a future development would
mean much to this city and county are
opinions learned Saturday of A. G..
Goodner, U. S. geological survey of
Seattle, Francis A. Thomson, dean of
the school of mines, Idaho University,
and Judge ]. H. Forney attorney and
counsellor, after a two days business
visit to the fields of the deposits.
The first visit was paid to the plant
near Joel, and the field of the clays.
The cut was found to have gone some
70 feet. The clays appeared to get
richer as the cut progressed. Speci-
mems were taken and the ariel railway
connected with the plant was shown
in operation. The visitors were favor
ably impressed The second visit was
to the Troy plant and here the visitors
found a business in fine operation
turning out fire brick for the Bunker
Hill and Sullivan mining company of
Waldner, Idaho. The deposits found
included the finer kind and again the
visitors went away feeling satisfied
with the results of their examinations.
The Linderman and its field of op-
erations was visited The mica mines,
from which feldspar is obtained, a
constituent used in conjunction with
the finer clays used in the manufac-
ture of white Chinaware were found
ample for all purposes, the connect
ing link for future exploitation and
The specimens and
crystal quartz were brought home for
further analysis. Out of Is deposits
in the United States it was the con-
census of opinion by these experts
that four of them were superior and
these four lie in Latah county.
Further analysis will be made at
the University of Idaho. The cham
ber of commerce is interested in the
future development of what may
prove to be a very valuable and i'm

later he was very much impressed
with her possibilities; that although
some sections felt the depressing af-

vistas; and that the University OF
idaho was an index of business con-

made for employment for students,
DR.. A. H. Upham, president of the
University, gave an optimistic ad-
dress to the Lewiston chamber of
commerce Friday
He was introduced by Ray J. White,
formerly of the university and q
member Of the alumni. He, DR.. Up
ham continuing, said emergencies had
to be met. Obstacles must be swept
away. A wide awake bunch of lead
ers can do much for a community.
The farmers in particular can take
care of the industry and emergencies
that confront them in all lines. So
it is with the business men. They can
put their shoulder to the wheel and
meet troubles and obstacles in their
own particular lines. Home markets
are said to be running to waste but
wide awake community will lift up
and establish its home market on
stable lines.
DR.. Upham told of industrial ac-
tivity and the need of diversified in
dustries Idaho has entered the pub
1icity game. There is a need for an
awakening to publicity. Let Idaho,
its resources, its possibilities, and its
scenic highways and wheat belts be
known. The doctor said the vision
had come. He could see the vista for
better things and the necessity of
boosting in the eastern states. Co
operation was needed and the public
ity plan is plan for that needed
purpose.
