PARTING WORDS.


under different arrangement and management
The old firm of +. H. Bowman q Co.. OF whcn
Mr.. Bowman and myself were the partners
was on Saturday dissolved, by mutual CONSENT
md the establishment passed into the possession
md owership of an incorporation with the
title of "The IDAHO WORLD Printing Com
nanv." Ny own connection with the estab-
lishment ceases with this issue.
It is now about three years since became
mint owner with Mr. Bowman in the WORLD
establishment, partner in the business, and
editor of the paper And now, that our bust
ness relations and companionship has drawn
to q close, it is to me ut once just and most
gratifying duty to pay tribute to his honorable
and upright conduct in every business matter,
and to his skill and excellence in the manage
nent of the business and mechanical depart
ments of the concern. Our association mas
been throughout of the most agreeable char
acter. and never, in my several business enter
prises have I been joined in partnership with
one for whom | entertain more profound
respect, nor on whose honor l could more I'M
plicitly depend. Our separation in business Is
now of my own seeking, and have been I'M
PEELED to it purely from causes etfecting my
health. cannot safely risk to undergo another
severe winter in this high upper region of deep
SHOWS, and must timely seek u warmer and
more genial cline This fact, not perhaps of
Is, "a ms nnI N
order that it may be understood that the change
in the WORLD establishment is not attrlbuta-
BILE to any other cause. The establishment Is
the most complete and largest of the kind in
Idaho; the business has paid handsomely (and
it will, am sure, pay the new owners equally
welD; my business connection has been, as l
say above, of the most pleasant character;
my association with the people of this city and
throughout the Basin and county has been of
very agreeable nature generally; and, re-
peat, it is only because of the Inability TO with
stand the rigors of our winters here, that |
could be induced to remove from 50 good
business and so priced partnership, and from
among people for whom entertain 50 much
regard Here, let me say in these closing
words, have found the best OF warm friends,
who have, far above my merits, proved their
friendship in substantial manner, and in return
for which my gratitude to them shall be lifelong.
certainly do not purpose to leave Idaho
City because Of any fear OF the future of the
place in a business point Of view. | cannot
be nsensible to the fact known to 80 many OF
our citizens, that of the numbers who have
gone from this Basin in the past year, the ma
jor part have, after months spent in trying to
find some more advantageous trade location to
settle in, returned here content to remain, and
to re-embark in business or to resume mining
among US, simply because, dull as they thought
times were here Judged by contrast with the
rushing times of the early years of the gold
excitement-they found every other place to
which they journeyed still duller IN actual
comparison with the business and trade and
mining of this Basin and this city, and they
also discovered that money itself Was more
plenty and in more general circulation here
than it was in any other place which they had
visited. have lived twenty years upon the
Pacific coast, and have seen most Of the IA
nous, rich mining regions discovered, and in
candor l say that do not think there is now
known a gold bearing region OF its extent
which will yield 50 richly for Us many years to
come as the mines Of Boise Basin will. And
in this view | am sustained by some of the
most experienced of the pioneer miners of
California, who have worked in nearly all the
gold fields yet discovered on the whole coast
either in the possessions of the United States
or in those of British Columbia.
With these views concerning the country,
and the sentiments above expressed towards
the people, it cannot be said that it is from
merely business considerations that purpose
to remove from this place. The only reason
is that which l have stated.
And now in conclusion, wish that this pub
lie, who have 80 generously patrOnized the
IDAHO WORLD establishment during the past
three years. will continue to bestow upon it
fully as much and more patronage. Although
many of these generous patrons are opposed
to the politics the paper has advocated, still
they never hesitated nor failed to patronize the
concern, and some of them have been among
the most liberal and foremost of It's best pay
ing supporters; and especially has the old firm
of l. II. Bowman & Co. hOnored them for
their generosity. Mr. Bowman retains his in
terest in the new arrangement and he has
been selected by the Company as Superintend
ent of the establishment. l sincerely wish
that every patron of the late firm, and all 9TH
ers, will award to him and to the Company n
generous support. He and they eminently
merit the reward. bespeak for whomsoever
shall succeed to the editorial department the
same kind consideration and indulgence which
has been accorded to myself, and in every way
wish for the establishment and all connected
