Ellis Higley has located the He'll
man Hot Springs property and pro-
poses to develop the same for re-
sort. These springs carry large
volume of water at point on He'll
man creek two or three miles from the
Salmon river highway. The flow
comes from lime rock and carries val

medicinal baths. On this point. how

MAY BANK IS TO
LlQUlDATE; CLOSED
BY ORDER OF STATE AUTHORI-
TIES AT SUICIDE OF CASHIER
IT'S DOORS ARE LOCKED.

1t is the purpose of the stockholders
of the Union Central bank at Nav,
since the death of its cashier and
head, to liquidate its assets and go
out of the banking business. This is
the report that reaches Salmon. The
doors of the institution have been
closed by order Of the state banking
offleers since the morning of Meitz-
ler's suicide. They found nothing
amiss in the banks management, how
ever, except that its ready funds were
running low. In the last published
statement it was shown that there ex-
lsted a small deficit of approximately
$500 after the payment of current ex-
penses..
Careful and conservative business
men are free to say that depositors
Will lose not a cent by the closing of
the bank and there is not the slight
est cause FOR alarm by anybody con-
cerned.
The outstanding fact is that its un-
fortunate manager made mistake
in starting a bank in a community so
circumscribed as he selected, for the
institution never paid. The cashier
himself drew the small salary of SIPS
only per month. He became discour-
aged beyond endurance and to end il
all he killed himself. He failed as
many another good man has failed,

own.

HISTORY OF THORNLESS
RASPBERRIES IN LEMHl

There are not many thornless rasp-
berries growing in Lemhi county
though it seems there might be, for
the bush is in many ways preferable
to the kind that bears briars. The
berry is just as fine in flavor and a
good deal easier to pick. Old Mr..
Geertson, L. c. is referred to. the
other day told how this plant came to
be introduced into Lemhi. 1t was in
the early days when the Indians were
located on Agency creek, and the then
agent, Fuller by name, brought the
thorness scions with him from lndi-
ana to crafty his wife who objected
to Strawberries because to pick them
one had to do lot of STOPPING and
to gather the ordinary raspberries one
had to suffer from the sharp tines of
the vines. with these berries the
agent used to say, 'you don't have to
stoop to get them nor to cash your
fiagers either If you want TO gath
er them as you ride horseback down
the row you may do that"
Seeing them growing there Mr..
Geertson sought some of the plants,
which he set at the Geertson ranch,
where they thrived WELL Meanwhile
the original stock at the Agency was
suffered to perish. The same fate ov-
ertook the Geertson setting when the
calves got into the garden and ate
them so far into the ground that they
never sprouted again. Before that
William Beattie, neighbor, coming
along when. Mr.. Geertson was thin
ming out the plants, was given all he
wanted to start his own raspberry
patch and on the Beattie place they
are growing to this day. That is how
old Mr.. Geertson was enabled this
year to start anew another lot of
thornless raspberries of his own and
he takes pleasure in telling his visit
ols how it has been that he was made
richer by having given something
away.

new WAY GRADING
WOOL FOR MARKET
AT PLACE WHERE PRODUCED
RATHER THAN AT MILLS
WHERE SOLD TRIED FOR
FIRST TIME.

Alex. r. Livingstone, Jr., this week
completed the grading OF approx
mately four carloads of wool at Sal
mon, the first work of this kind ever
Undertaken here before this staple
product of Lemhi has been sold on the
markets. incidentally Mr.. Living
stone has given local employment TO
IN average OF dozen men Tor about
tnree weeks and expended altogether
upwards of eight hundred dollars in
connection with the work. This money
under the old plan of paying for the
grading at the place of safe would
nave been paid out no where near
home and not one penny of the
amount would ever have come hack
10 merchants, hotel keepers and lab
orers here. 1t is worth while to re-
member this and to give credit where
credit is due.
IL was q. B. Quarles at his own ex
pense who induced the coming of Mr..
Livingstone to undertake this work in
Salmon. II is believed that graded
wool will always command n more
ready sale than where there are six,
or eight grades in the same sack. Il
Is the modern way Of making sales
OF all commodities. They are thus
Summarized and "a buyer knows Just
what he Is getting.
~ " safe prediction that this
method of marketing wool will be fol.
lowed pretty generally hereafter and
thht TINS grading system, tried for
the hrSt time this year, will not be
the last time adopted here.
