CAUGHT STEALING.-A colOred specimen
of the Freedman's Bureau, by the name of
NELSON MALLoN, was caught, few days
since, secretly appropriating, for a specula-
ton no doubt, the harness and springs off of
several ambulances near one of the Govern
ment shops and was lodged in the 'Bastile,'
by those stern monitors of the law, the po-
lice officers, for safe keeping. Yesterday,
however, he was brought before our kind
hearted Recorder who made him "dance to
the tune" ola fifty dollar fine and remanded
to his latter abode, there to spend some por-
ton of the summer days.

lists. This is what's the matter with Idaho.
Our mines are 50 rich, numerous and ex-
tensive as to leave nothing in that direction
to be desired but the cost Of support
ing life here is greatly disproportionate
even to their marvellous wealth. It is ne
cessary to look these unpleasant and stub
born facts squarely in the face, and see If
there is not a possible remedy. Idaho
comes near being the most non-productive
country, except in precious metals, on the
continent, and that Is the reason Of the
high price of every article of merchandise
found in the market. California, Oregon,
or even Nevada or Colorado, were never
so destitute of the means to live upon their
own u as Idaho is to-day. This
must all be changed before there can be
anything like general prosperity among
the people. Mining companies may dis
ENDOWED the mountains and wax wealthy
on their dividends, but the Thousands of
men who do the labor will lay up nothing.
The reason is evident. To the original
cost'of everything consumed is added two
or three times as much more for Transport
tation between the producer and the CON-
sumner. There ought to be five times as
much wheat, corn, pork, butter, and ev-
erything the farm can yield. produced in
Boise Valley this year as wal raised last
year. That would reduce the price OF
board, and bring the cost of living down
to near the right relation to the price Of
labor. 10 attain the highest degree Of
prosperity, our Territory oushtnot only TO
raise her own food, but manufacture q
considerable portion Of the merchandise
consumed. But it is useless to talk Of man.
uiactures while tens ofthousands of acres
of good soil lie all about us uncultiyated.
Let US first begin to raise, in. sufficient
abundance, the commonest articles offoOd.
Hard times will then rapidly disappear,
and both private purses and public treas
uries will be replenished with the bullion
that now goes out Of the Territory on each
stage to pay for our grub. The develop
ment of the agricultural interests Of Idaho
arc tagging behind the mineral. This
ought to be reversed. The certainty OF
our mineral wealth ought to lend conf.
dence to every other pursuit. and first Of
all to that of the farmer. We come now
to the point aimed at in this article. There
must be more farmers and more land cul-
tiyators, or the Territory will remain poor,
though the mines continue to yield hun
dreds of millions for generations to come.
Farming offers greater and more certain
profits than any other business ; to which
the attention Of the public is respectfully
invited.

From the Idaho Statesman, Jan. ILL.,
HiRh Prices Vs., Prosperity.

One of the most noticeable facts and
one that strikes the attention of the stran-
ger unfavorably, is the extraordinary dis.
proportion between the cost Of living and
the price Of labor in tins Territory. 1t
needs but a moments observation TO Coz
vince any one that the present condition
of affairs in this respect is incompatible
with ever a moderate degree Of financial
prosperity. The prosperity of a commu-
nifty or a State depends. not so much upon
the success Of mercantile transactions, or
great "strikes" made in mining, or any
other kind Of business, as upon the margin
that the laboring man in common occupa-
tons is able to save upon the proceeds Of
a days work. If it costs four out of five
men as much to live as they can make,
the State will not be prosperous though
the other fifth be piling up fortunes for
themselves. 1t is the prosperity of the
masses that prospers the State. When the
working classes in all professions and
trades, are able to save from the proceeds
of q years labors, a moderate portion for
investment or future use, then are taxes
collectable, the public finances in an easy
condition. improvements going forward
and the community generally in a -four.
ishing condition. High prices are the pres
ent curse of Idaho. Not the high price of
labor but the greatly disproportionate high
price Of all the necessaries of living. 1t
costs a man to-day about as much as he
can earn, to pay his board at any hotel,
and any professional man must have a
good run Of business to be able to support
a family with ordinary economy. People
get frightened and hostile at eighteen dol.
lars a week for board, and only find there
is good reason for it when they commence
a system Of economy by " keeping house."
and pay eight to ten cents a pound for po-
tatoes, and a dollar and a half a pound for
butter. Everything with US is out Of joint
and out Of proportion. 1t costs from four
to six times as much to live here as in New
York or Wisconsin, while labor commands
only two or three times as much. Protes-
slonal labor is no better paid in Idaho
than in California, but it costs from 10
three times rs much to live here as there
Under this state Of facts, there never can
be any considerable degree OF genera
prosperity. The Revenue Assessors re-
turn but few persons upon their lists iiaole
10 pay income taxes, and the Sherins are
unable to sell property on their delinquent

CoRx-Cos.-Editorial presents are the
day. Clean socks (for Dan DeQuille),
watch chains, rings for fingers. and even
clean shirts, are among the mementos most
graciously vouchsafed to the local edito-
rial fraternity. A Kentucky friend OF
ours, yesterday, presented us with a mag
nifcent corn-cob mere-sham pipe. It is q
good pipe-and reminds US Of a corn field
in Pennsylvania - husking time. The
Kentuckian went home last Summer, we
believe i, was to the Beaver creek region,
and when he was counting. and as a mat
ter Of course, deeply and abstractedly in
love, he made this very corn.cob pipe! 1t
is rather disproportiona,e. however-the
stem is rather lengthy for the bowl. But
we enjoy the Kentucky corn-cob pipe
amazingly.
