An Idaho exchange says: We have

five children on December 6th, and up
to the last accounts they were all doing
well. They are all boys. The smallest
weighed two pounds when born, but he
bas outgrown his brothers and is now
the largest. Washington made much
ado over her four babies exhibited last
year at the Spokane fair, but Idaho bas
seen her and gone one better. The birth
of four babies in Latab, Wash., a year
ago or more, and the birth of five in
Latah county, Idaho, within the past

made and is making in its roadbed, with
new steel rails and new ties, added

section. Besides this, the company has
made many improvements in the rolling
stock and equipments on the branch
lines. It is Baid all passenger coaches

The National Board of Fire Under
writers of New York have just mailed a
copy of rules governing the construction
of Acetylene Gas Generator, to Prof. P.
G. Daut. These rules are recommended
by them to every Underwriters Associa
tion in the country. The Eagle Gas
Generator which he represents is the
only machine of which they know in the
market that is constructed exaetly in
line with these specifications and this
fact should convince prospective buyers
to look first before purchasing any
other cheap generators, as the insurance
company will not pay any claims, ex
cept all the rules have been complied
with.

Prospects That the Linnton Smelter May
Resume Operations.
Superintendent Chase, of the Linnton
Smelter, Iooks for the works to etart np
again soon, as the stockholders, he
thinks, can see daylight through the
litigation connected with the plant.
The location of the Linnton smelter ja
all that can be desired, in Mr. Chase's
opinion, as the works are equally ac
cessible to the ores of Eastern Oregon,
Washington, Idaho and Montana, as
well as those of Southern Oregon and
Northern California. A smelter located
at a mine does not do well, because it
bas only one kiln of ore to treat, and so
metals for fluxing must be brought from
distant mines at considerable expense,
Besides this, coke is always more avail'
able near a large city.
One ore may contain lead ana
ancftber iron. These different ores from
mines situated far apart, can be used to
flux each other," said Mr. Chase. "'.
do not think a large smelter need be lo
cated close to the mining regions. The
Omaha smeltar has no mines within
hundreds of miles, and yet it is doing an
enormous and profitable business in the
reduction of .ores from Arizona, New
Mexico, Montana and British Columbia,
"Twenty-hve carloads of ore pass
through Portland every month from
Baker countv, bound for the smelters tf
Tacoma or Everett, Wash. When the
Linnton smelter starts up again it will
find abundance of ore in the newly de
veloped mines of Eastern Oregon, Idaho,
Montana, as well as Southern Oregon
and Northern California."
