that which pertains to our mines and
mining resources. Mining being our
main dependence, we feel particular
ly DESTROYS to communicate as full in.

us with such information, that we
may lay it before the public for the

We are not prepared to admit that
newspapers are altogether useless,

WIZ We FAVOR THE BANNER ROUTE.

Which route to Atlanta should COM
|mand the support of Boise City and
valley? We are interested parties,
and our opinions should only have
weight in proportion to the evidences
and reasons presented. In discussing
the question we will try to deal fairly
and lay prejudices and prepossessions
aside. 1t is estimated that it will cost
from $4,000 to $4,000 to construct
the road from Atlanta to Rocky Bar, a
distance. of sixteen miles. This, when
done, gives the people of Boise wag-
on road to Atlanta, the distance being
at least one hundred and twenty miles,
withtoll ON atfouf-horse team of about
$40.
The road from Boise City up
Boise river will be, one hun.
'dred miles long. The expense Of
making it passable for wagons load.
ed is variously estimated at from $685..
600 to $3.50, 600. These two extremes
are probably equidistant from the cor.
rect cost of the road. To divide be.
tween these two extremes gives $751;.
500 as the actual cost of the road, but
we will allow $4,000 to be the out
side figure, and we. have an amount out
of reach of those directly interested.
So that scheme IL impracticable. The
distance from Boise City via Idaho
City and Banner City to Atlanta we
will call one hundred miles The cost
of the road to be constructed, est.
mated at the outside figure will not
exceed $4,000, and the toll on the
road will not exceed three dollars for
a four-horse team. In this road the
people of Boise City and valley, Low.
er and Upper Payette, PlacerviIle, Cen.
terville, Idaho City and Banner, be.
sides Atlanta, are all directly interest
ed; SO that the expense of the road
would fall lightly all round. The ben.
efits resulting to Boise City and val
ley by the construction OF this road
would be greater than that Of either
of the other roads, in this, that the
produce Of whatever kind the Boiseitcs
might have for sale would have the
benefit of the market of Idaho CITY
and the Basin, as well as Banner and
Atlanta by this route, while by the
road up Boise river no towns or camps
would be passed on the way to Allan
ia; and by the Rocky Bar route they
would have that town on the way. In
marketing fruits and summer vegeta-
bles the advantages Of this road over
either Of the other proposed roads
must be apparent to all.
For the accommodation Of the PEG.
pie in the immediate localities we hope
the Atlanta and Rocky Bar road will
be built; bnt wcthink we have shown
that argrester advantage viii result
to larger number of people by the
construction Of our road. We don't
believe the Boise river road feasable
or practicable at present. on account
of the heavy expense. and the limited
interests served. We do not des re
to cripple any other enterprise, but
think it will be well for Boise City and
valley to put their money where it
will do the most good, and in our judg-
mcnt. that is in the road from Banner
to Atlanta.

About ten o'clock last Friday sae.
Catholic parsonage, located Oh EAST
Hill, between the church and Odd Fell.
lows Hall, was discovered to be on
fire in the garret and roof. Il was
soon found. to be impossible to save.
the building, and all effort was direct.
ed to the saving Of the contents Of the.
building and the preservation of the.
ball. Everything was saved from the.
burning building except . trunk full .
of clothes belonging to q. Mare, ESQ.,.
There was large pile Of pitch.
wood lying between the church andi
Odd Fellows Hall, which caught FIRE.
and burned furiously. This was what.
endangered the hall, which was only
saved by the constant. application Of 4
water to thereof and side next to the.
fire. Il a5Isa II,
There are bnt few men around the.
streets at this time of day, during this.
busy mining season, and there was so.
little noise made that some who were.
engaged indoors did not hear the.
alarm, consequently the force to work.
against the fire was small, but by-
bard work, sufficient to prevent q !.
great devastation. The loss Of the.
parsonageswiIlbe seriously felt by the.
citizens, as it was useful and ornamen.
tai to our town.

have nimble fingers manipulate a keen

then what adds to ones appearance
more than to have the hair neatly

in the short gulches will make their
final clcan-ups in few days, and the
consequence will be the throwing out
of employment of . large number OF
miners. As. they will have some
money to procure prospecting outfits
and provisions, we think it. could be
expended in no better way, AZ the
country is not half prospected, and all
the indications and former discoveries
go TO prove that there are hundreds
of lodges from which fortunes will yet
emanate, which are now lying covered
and hidden from view. The Sub Ro.
ga mine will erect ? 10 stamp mill on
it soon, and then there will be three
mills in that section. There will be
no trouble in getting rock crushed
This is encouragement for prospecting,
and we hope the idle men will go to
work and try and find something.
The Salesman tries to deceive its
readers into the belief that the World

states il to be hut forty miles. The
distances from Idaho City to Banner
District is but thirty miles, and from
there to Atlanta il does not exceed 80
miles, which, comprises the only part
of the road to built, which gives q

Two legislatures in Louisiana.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. about noon
a state Democratic house committee in
formed Gov Kellogg that the house was
organized at St. Patrick's Hall and they
protested against the occupation of the
state house by armed militia and police,
and against the exclusion therefrom of
duly elected representatives. Kellogg
declared that the statements of the protest
were incorrect; there we're no military in
the state house. but the usual police guard
who had special instructions not to inter
fere with legislators but protect them. As
to the house represented by the committee

since the real house had been organized
in the hall of the house of representatives
and he had duly recognized them.
