Peter Book arrived in Lewis- ton Wednesday with samples of ore from what he says is a most unusual formation in the Cave gulch district on Snake river, . where he has two claims. “About 42 miles from Lewis- ton and eight miles this side of the mouth of the Salmon river I have been prospecting a claim where the entire side of the hill has a reddish color and through which there are many stringers of quartz bearing values, some of which I am sure will run $75 to the ton and perhaps a good deal more,” said Mr. Book yes- terday. “These stringers of quartz fill the hillside. I have no idea how many there are but they are from a streak to six or eight inches wide. “T have located the Red Eagle claim and from the center of this I took out of a prospect hole last summer a sample of ore which to my surprise assayed $9.20 in gold, without other values. The ledge is all oxi- dized and it looks like a free milling proposition. Since then I have done extensive surface work and have samples from other points on my claim and these samples I am sending to Denver. “This claim is on Cottonwood creek. I have another location which is called Riverside, three miles distant and a mile above Cave gulch. I have good samples Every Day in Every Way The people say Hazelwood Ice Cream is the best R. H.

One million acres of perfectly good ground for a common old “sea-going” hack, beside which the most ordinary ,automobile of today ts like a palace on wheels, Can you Imagine such a transaction? The land involved was that com- prising the old Sangre de Christo grant. The carriage was a family vehicle ‘belonging to Charles Boubien, a French-Canadian, The governor of a Mexican province took a liking to the Boublen family bus. Boubien craved land. They got together in the spring of 1846 and the swap was effected. ‘That, of course, was before that por- tion of the United States comprising the grant was ceded to the American government. Old Boublen, it would appear from the history of the deal, was consider- able of a land baron. He already held | one grant, which prevented the ma ing of the Sangre de Christo grant dl- rect to him, so he put forward two nephews—Narcissus Boubien and Luis Lee—as the ostensible beneficiaries. They were killed in the Mexican revo- lution of 1847 and the elder Boubien fell heir to the grant. As far as history records data with respect to anclent land grants, the Sangre de Christo was the second largest ever made. It included all the territory under the watershed of the Rio Grande from source to mouth. Eventually, the grant was divided into two parts, The upper part, lying mostly in southern Colorado, is now known as the Trinchera estates; the lower as the Costilla estates. EXPLAINS LACK OF COURTESY According to Writer, Various Forms of Fear Are Responsible for Its Absence. The finest courtesy is that which comes from the spontaneous manifes- tation of good will, says a writer in the Montreal Family Herald. Yet often people who feel good will toward others are not notable for courtesy. When there is any failure in courtesy it can almost invariably be ascribed to fear. Perhaps the person is afraid of assuming too much importance aud of appearing egotistical and therefore lurks in the background when he should come forward. Perhaps he fears that some one will think he is trying to curry favor, and therefore he is so distantly polite as almost to be rude. Perhaps his good will is so mingled with admiration as to make him awkward and embarrassed; the fear of being regarded as commonplace and unimportant as he cannot help knowing himself to be prevents him from showing proper courtesy. Or, on the other hand, the fear that courtesy will be assertive, overbearing or truc- ulent. Fear is the great enemy to happ!- ness and accomplishment. One of the most effective ways in which fear works is through curbing or suppress- Ing the courteous manners and actions that, if it were not established in a position of authority, would display themselves as the natural expression of the heart. Went the Whole Route. A fussy old gentleman engaged a footman and having instructed bim In his duties asked him if he understood sequences. “I don’t know, sir,” replied the man; “will you explain?” “Why,” he sald, “when I ask you to lay the cloth, you are to put the knives, forks, salt and so on, on the table.” “Oh,” replied the footman, “if that’s all, no doubt I shall please you.” His master, being ill one morning, ordered him to summon a nurse. He did not return until late at night and on being reproached explained the de- lay by stating that he went and found the nurse, who was below; the se- | quences of a nurse, he thought, were a chemist, a doctor, a surgeon and an undertaker; and he had asked them | all to attend. In fact, they were walt- | ing below. We print butter wrappers.

Everything to Eat and Wear SSS PLANTS WITH ODD POWERS Many Strange Beliefs Have Been Cred- ited to Particular Species of Growing Things. Some plants and flowers are sup- posed to possess strange powers. One of these is the mandragora, a species of the nightshade tribe, which is sald to utter shrieks on being torn from the ground, and to revenge itself by killing the person who picked it. The Romans, who attached great value to the plant, never gathered it without performing a weird ceremony. Our ancestors considered all plants growing on wild heaths and in lonely churchyards and old ruins to possess evil powers. The moonwort was sup- posed to be able to open locks and unshoe horses, while vervain, which was under the protection of the god- dess Venus, was a sure protectfon against witchcraft and the bites of snakes. ‘This plant was used to dec- orate the altars of the ancient Persians and the druids, St. John's wort was able, it was sald, to put to flight ghosts, demons, and even Satan himself. Mistletoe was called the “all-heal” plant and was used by doctors to cure any disease, Other charms against evil spirits were the rowan-tree and the homely “hon- esty,” wich 1s found in many coun- try gardens to this day. The latter, declared to be under the protection of the moon, was supposed to be en- dowed with many magic properties,— London Tit-Bits. John Harvard and Elihu Yale Con- ferred Benefits on Early Little American Colony. John Harvard shares with Elihu Yale, in the opinion of the Christian Science Monitor, the honor of being; the connecting link between England und the young men of America who are graduated each year from the two colleges that bear the names of the two Englishmen who founded them. The founder of Harvard college was born in Southwark, Noy, 26, 1607, His father, Robert Harvard, was a butcher by trade and highly prosperous, In- formation regarding John Harvard's parents and family is meager and vague, ‘There Is every regson to sup- pose, but no authentic record of the fact, that William Shakespeare had a hand in introducing or bringing to- gether the mother and father of this great benefactor, The devotion of John Harvard and his mother was very beautiful, and through the fortune bequeathed him by his mother he was enabled to make his gift to the little colony across the sea, Grangeville Electric Plant and Equipment Due from Consumers Supplies Suspense Account Stock Discount .........
