A Soi'T FA!,!..
On Sunday last Mrs. Woods of
the Commercial Hotel started on a
horseback trip east of town, but
met with a wet accident at the
depot. Her horse caught his foot
between the rail and planking at
the crossing, stumbled and fell,
throwing her in the opposite di
rection and finding a lauding for
her in a big mud puddle. lly
st'andcrs ran to her assistance and
when recovered she was found to
have sustained no further injury
than that of being generously
soaked with the softest mud in the
puddle. Had the ground have
been dry and hard it would have
been a wonder if the lady had not
have been killed outright. All is
well that ends well, and the lady

A. I). Whltlier in the past week
has brought into form four busts
made from native tale to represent
the passage in national life of Uncle
Sam and John Hull for the last too
years. These busts speak more
plainly than words can tell the
change in positions of the the two
nations. When too years ago
John Hull controlled the commerce
of lite world and "Hrittauia ruled
the wave," he was sleek and well
groomed, proud, haughty and
pompous, while Uncle Sam was
lean, careworn and clad in home
spun. Today the tables are fast
turning and John Hull is presented
as bloated and fiaby and wearing a
most dejected look, while Uncle
Sam is fat and dignified and carries
the earmarks of prosperity in his
tailor-made clothes, laundricd shirt
and tip-to date necktie. These
four busts are now on exhibition in
the show windows of the Benson
drugstore, and besides being an in
structive national lesson thev are
really works of art, and all should
see them before they nre sent away
to Portland.
Tine Lis Roy Company.
The directors of the I,e Roy
Mining Company have considered
favorable a proposition from the
owners of the Laura group of min
ing claims to absorb that fatuous
group, and have called a meeting
of the stockholders to be held in
the company's office December to,
tyoi, at to a. in., for the purpose
of increasing the capital stock in
order to purchase these valuable
claims. The I.aura group consists
of the Long Tom, Laura, Laura
Extension, Oro and Mend G min
ing claims, and cover all of the
ricli ore leail from the east end of
the Le Roy mine to the west end of
the Helena No. 2 property. If
this deal is cousiimatcd the Le
Roy Company will, no doubt, have
in size and richness as good, if not
the best, property in Bohemia Dis
trict. Reports from the mine, as
brought out by workers in the mine;
ate that every round of shots put in
uncover a wider ledge of ore with
increased values. .Several fine
specimens have been brought out,
which canlie seen at the company's
office.

Coast Fork Raging.
On Monday after the storm the
attention of many of our people
was drawn to the rushing waters of
the Coast Fork as they swept along
bearing on their turbulent bosom
wreckage of many kinds that had
been in place on the banks farther
up the stream. Chicken coops,
boxes, lumber, logs nud a dead
cow passed through and went
rapidly down the stream. The
stream has dropped some five feet
since Monday and is now in a
peaceful mood.

On Wednesday evening the
members of Juvenilis Lodge, K. of
IK entertained their friends and
provided an evening of pleasure
that will long be remembered by
all who had the good fortune to be
present. The start off was a round
of whist and cribbage, then a speech
of welcome, followed by recitations
and vocal selections. The good
things of the larder were then
brought forth, the tables laid and
piled to repletion with substantial
ami dainties, and the banquet was
all that could be wished or hoped
for. After the inner man had been
bounteously provided for anecdote
and song held sway until long at'
ter midnight. The spirit of frater
nal feeling that found expression
and was exemplified on this occa
sion will go a long way toward
building up and maintaining this
now flourishing lodge upon firmer
and broader ground. The mem
bers of this lodge are a unit in en
thusiasm of their order and an oc

is one of the most potent factors in
drawing to themselves that element

Christian Church Rkvival.
The meetings being held at the
Christian Church are said to be
creating a lively interest 111 re
licious and moral matters, as is
evidenced by the large and atten
tive audiences. On last Sunday
afternoon Mr. Rose talked to the
children on the subject of "Christ
and the Children." By means of
simple but pleasing illustrations he
was able to hold the undivided at
tention of the children throughout
the hour. Mr. Rose is close and
logical in his reasoning and aided
by means of his charts rivets the
attention of every, one present to
the subiect in hand. A number of
additions have already been made
and indications are very favorable
for many more. Next Sunday at
3 p. m, will be held a meeting for
women only, the subject is
"Women's Work in the World's
Crisis."
