After some parleying the match was ar

Mr.. Beales took water in his and

of the boys in the adjoining counties

Fire at Bradford.

A fire broke out about half-past nine
o'clock last Friday night in the Thea
tire Comique. on Main street, and be-
fore it was gotten under control over
thirty buildings were burned The
ticket seller, Max Albrecht, was the
first to discover the flames. He warned
the audience to go out slowly, but a
panic ensued. Guarding the door with
Il club, he finally succeeded in clearing
the building without loss of life. The
flames spread rapidly. The firemen
were at great disadvantage on account
of the mud, but they fought the flames
bravely. Many persons were hurt by
falling timbers, but it is believed no
one was killed. The total los is esti-
mated at 100000. Among the princi-
pal losses are the Theatre Comique,
with five other buildings on Main
street, S25, 900; ten buildings south OF
the Comique, $1,000; United States
express office, estimated loss in goods.
$1,000; Riddle Honse, $4,000; eight
buildings north of the Riddle House,
on Davis street, $4,000; Boyard & Sey-
fang's machine shop, $1,000; planning,

gether with several oil wells, value un-

We notice by our exchanges that
the carpet bug is again appearing in
numerous sections and is doing great
damage. These bugs first appeared in
1864 and at intervals since that time
have caused much alarm in this
country. They attack carpets of all
kinds and textures, but seem to prefer
those in which the predominating
colors are yellow, red and green. The
carpets are always eaten at points
where there are cracks in the floor,
and are not only through, but in some
cases are cut across the breadth as ifby
scissors. Once in a house it is next to
impossible to eXterminate them, and
sometimes the luxury of carpet has
to be dispensed with. The only way
to prevent their ravages is by fire.

THE MILITARY WAGON ROAD.

A wagon road from Banner to Lem
hi county would give the people of
that county direct communication with
the outside world, and hasten the de-
yelopment Of a large and rich mining
district. Quartz owners in that sec
tion arc obliged to have their rock car
ricd on pack animals to other sections
for crushing, as mills cannot be taken
IN; Banner, the nearest point, is six
ty-five miles from Yankee Fork and
one hundred and twenty miles from
Salmon City. A wagon road from
this place to Salmon City would pass
through good quartz country and
within short distance of the leading
districts, and machinery would be
shipped there, affording opportunities
for working ore that will not pay for
shipping and reduction. While the
officers of the army are looking out
the ronte for a road to the military
post to be established in Lemhi coun-
ty, their attention should be called to
this route. by which Boise City would
be only 249 miles from Salmon City.
The citizens of the isolated regions
north of us would, we think, respond
literally to help build the road. The
advantages that would accrue to us
by its early completion we think
would induce the citizens of this coun-
ty to lend some assistance in building
the road should the Government ask
it. The route is an easy ole over
which to build a road, which would
be completed at small cost; the en-
tire distance it would traverse a min
ing section that will yet lee recognized
as ono of the leading districts of the
coast. 1t would create travel through
Southern Idaho, our population would
increase, farmers would have a good
market for their produce, new indus
tries wonld spring up, and our condi-
ton be greatly improved. As this is
the nearest route over which the road
can be built, and at less cost than
over any other, we feel confident it
will be chosen if examined by the Of
ticers composing the expedition.

1t was about this last named year that
the operations of the department be.

to 1856 the cost of the mail service
was just doubled. Revenues of the
postoffice did not keep peace with this
increase of service. During Bachan-

wasteful prodigality. For 1860 the
revenue was Ss,5ls,O67, while the ex-

THE STATESMAN AND GOVERNOR BaAY.
MAN.

j
nal devoted to the interests of the
dear people Of our own beloved Idaho, !,
the Boise Statesman, mislcads its read.
ers by copying short extract from
the WORLDS comments on the reasons
given by Governor Brayman for The
pardoning of the four Cinnamon con.
victed and sentenced to the peniten.
tlary for the murder of McGuinness
The editors of that paper copied our
call tor more substantial reasons, but
omitted our objections to those given,
which were substantially the same as
those published in the Statesman, al
though the two papers are published
thirty-six miles apart, and made their
appearance simultaneously. But we
never asked the expressions of the cit
izens Of this county, as the Statesman
did. When the murder was commit
ted we were on the ground before
McGuinness or any of the wounded
Cinnamon were removed, heard the
expressions of those present, and the
general drift of public opinion from
that time to the present. When Mr..
Brayman's reasons for pardoning the
Cinnamon were published, We thought
comment unnecessary, as we think
now. Our readers are competent to
judge such things, but as some busy
bodies were endeavoring to get the
impression rooted that we endorse all
we publish, our comments were for
the sole purpose of defining our posi-
tion on that letter, and nothing else;
and when the Salesman intimates that
the WORLD is edging in with il on all
its TRADES against our Governor, its
insinuations, as the people know, are
without foundation and for malicious
purpose. Because we may happen to
agree in one case is no reason why
we should agree in all Others. Our
position has not been altered in the
least. The attacks make on Mr. Bray
man during the winter we believe to
have been for a malicious purpose.
and the people believe it, and are not
slow in venting their opinions, which
are anything but complimentary to
old Kelly. They remember full well
the position the Salesman occupied du.
ring the Alturas troubles last fall to-
wards Judge Hollister and Gov. Bray
man. Kelly, do you forget how you
used the latter as authority to make
il appear that tile former was a cor
rupt man. and then Joined in to have
him investigated b. a committee of
lawyers without any authority what
ever from the Supreme Court, for lead
ing the people to distrust the courts?
Did you not do all you dared, more
even than Brayman, to make people
believe that Chief Justice Hollister
was thief Do you pretend to pull
the wool over your readers eyes and
say such things are consistent? If
you recognize the intelligence of your
readers, and respect truth and justice,
you will answer these questions.
What your private opinions are we
have no means of knowing, but Judge
by your public acts. We are not in
favor of judging too hastily, and will
yet give to the public any good rea-
sons, if Governor Brayman has any,
for pardoning the murderers Of McGun-
ness.
