DANGERS OF HOME

Insurance payments help recon.
pense the insured in financial way
but they cannot restore an arm, a leg
or life lost through carelessness.
Nor can they replace the great econ
omic loss which results from fire
carelessness which destroys $500,OO0,-
600 worth of property annually in
this nation. Insurance companies can,
not give 100 per cent protection to
persons or property without the
hearty cooperation Of every individu-
al citizen.

ASBESTOS MINES.

New Company Installing Ma

Of Ore In Sight.

| Kamiah.-The officers, directors
and stockholders of the Panhandle
Asbestos company recently made a
tour of inspection to their holdings
of asbestos deposits, IA miles east Of
Kamiah. Most of the party was made
up of Lewiston men and women.
The largest deposit visited is a
lenticular mass about 200 feet in
length, 40 feet in width and 35 feet
in height above the ground. 1t is
estimated that more than $1,000 tons
are in sight in this exposure. A tun-
mel has been driven about 300 feet
down the hill from the base and
after driving in 30 feet the asbestos
was found again. This and several
other groupings extend over the
Panhandle holdings for three miles.
All of the groupings are on state
owned land which is leased to the
Panhandle for 80 years on a roy
atty basis.

HOW THE LESSER PARTIES
FARED

The election shows that there
is no such thing as a labor party,
that there is no such thing as a
farmers party, and that there will
never be any such thing as a pro-
gressive party while it contin-
ues to progress backwards.
The failure Of La Toilette and
the progressives to get into office
recalls the story of the wife and
daughter of Colonel Berry, COM
manding one of the war time train
ing camps. Upon returning late
from a theatre party in a nearby
town one evening, the ladies were
stopped at the entrance to the
camp by a new recruit.
"Ya can't come in, he said.
But we must get in said the
ladies, 1--WE belong here"
"Ya can't come in, said the SEN
try more aggressively.
"You don't understand, pleaded
the ladies. 1--WE are the Berrys."
Il don't, care if you're the cats
whiskers," said the sentry. va
can't come in and that's all there
is to it,
One curious result of the ballot
analyzing is the position taken by
te railroad workers. 1t had been
assumed, even by the most astute
political prophets that the rail
road labor men would vote for the
Third Party. AS a matter of fact,
only a neglible part of them did
SO vote the reason being that
many of them believed that under
government ownership their pay
would be less than under private
control. Perhaps the fact that few
business houses pay their men as
low wages as the post Office de-
partment' had something to do
with it. In any event, Reputation
Of the government Ownership idea
was complete Industrial Digest.

"A MYSTERY SOLVED

The tales told by those who go
down to the sea in ships are many
and varied but perhaps there has
never been q more fascinating
story than that Of the mysterious
disappearance OF the crew of the
brig Marie Celeste. The Marie
Celeste sailed from New York to
Genoa In the year 1872, and after
having been spoken by a passing
vessel the previous day, she was
found drifting in the Mediterran-
can abandoned by every living
creature. The captain had his
wife and child ON board, and in the
dining saloon the table was fully
set for r morning meal. There
was no confusion in the appear
ancs OF anything on the ship; it
just looked as if the captain and
crew had vanished into the ether.
Many theories nave been adj
vanced to account for the strange
case OF the Marie Celeste, and
few years ago several eminent
authors had q shot at the mystery
in the pages of q popular maya
zine. But If the theory which has
just come TO light can be accepted,
shey were all wide OF the mark.
After AZ years there has just
come a disclosure from Captain
H Lucy, who is well known all
over the Mediterranean, who
states that he has the true story
OF the Marie Celese from q man
whom he met in Australia, who
was formerly the bo'sun of the
Inflated vessel.
The tale told by tie 0o'sun in
brief, is that ON the day before
the Marie Celeste expected to
reach port, there was sighted a
dereiict vessel. On this vessel a
large aum of money in gold and
Isilver was found, and Immediately
a scheme was formed, participated
in by the captain and the whole of
the crew, that the money should
be divided in certain proportions,
and the Marie Celeste abandoned.
The crew arrived at the port Of
Cadi8 in boats borrowed from the
derelict, the names on which they
had changed, aud after reporting
the loss of their fictitious vessel
they scattered TO various parts of
Ithe world.
The old saying that the truth
viii out sooner or later seems ex-
