Newspapers as Educators.

Chauncy Barbour, who has just re-
tired from the Missoulian, in his vale
dictory, makes use of the following
truthful suggestions:
The newspaper of community is
Justly taken as a fair index Of the lib
erality and prosperity of its people.
Do not starye it to death. and force its
editor to be editor, printer. pressman,
mail clerk aud collector Of the few pal
try dollars that is due him, and then
find fault with him for not publishing a
better paper. Journalism is an EN-.
ployment devoted to public use; and
the fact of how much of pubic educa-
tion is due to newspapers is 200 much
lost sight of. Schools are supported at
public expense, on the ground that the
burden of education is less than would
be the care of the ignorant and lawless.
Newspaper support is voluntary, but
eyery community that has a proper re-
card for its own welfare will see to 1t
that it is liberal. Publishers have a
habit for making just return for liberal
support in better presses, types and IN
creased attention to editorial duties.
Money is better invested in newspapers

Changed his Tone.

A cove came before his Honor last
Saturday, as meek as lamb, charged
with being drunk and lying on the side,
walk fast asleep, all Of which is con.
duct unbecoming a eentl,man. and an
offense against the dignity of the city.
He said he fel: sick and laid down. &c.
The judges milk Of human kindness
came down spontane 5usly, and he said
"Being as it is, and believing part Of
your story to be true, I'll fine you but
one dollar" Here the meek man from
Idaho pulled out handful of coin and
exclaimed: 20 pshaw. you might as
we'll crack your whip; Eve got the
sugar" That same night the fellow
was in Jail again for being beastly
drunk aud on Monday morning the
judge cracked his whip, with snapper
on it, Watchmdn.
Brother, do not charge the drunken
ness Of your town upon Idaho men.
Our sins in that line at home are as
much as we can bear.

Return of the Troops.
ment.


Mr.. Henry Boone, who left last
Tuesday with dispatches for Col Ber-
nard, returned yesterday evening, hav.
ing met the command on the Payette
some twenty miles beyond ia ,ner.
Col. Bernard came back with him as
far as Idaho City and arrived here ou
the Idaho, stage yesterday evening
The troops will be 10 as soon as their
animals can be brought over the road
without ipjuring them. which will be
within the coming week. Henry says
the animals belonging to the command
look very rough and will require some
time to recruit before being fit for serv-
ice again. The men are also almost
destitute of clothing. 1t has been a
very hard campaign on both men and
animals. Col. Rube Robbins also came
in yesterday, from whom we learn that
the troops will probably reft as soon as
possible and return to the mountains.
IF this is the course taken, fresh cav
airy horses will be procured and also
fresh trains for transportation. Nothing
is known of the movements of Captain
Forces portion of the command, but it
is presumed that they would return to
the mountains rs soon as they met their
supply train.-I Democrat.

Muscle and Brain Out West,

The Rocky mountain states and ter
ritories have assumed significance
yes, grandeur, unthought of twenty
years aga. The men who have SO n3
bly, cast their fortunes here and have
reared industrial monuments which COW
aston;sh the widest dreamers Of the
last decade are not to be underesti
mated. They are representatives Of
the best enterprise, the best talent and
the best energy from the old states and
nations, aud have broken away from all
hereditary ties to face all dangers and
endure all hardships in the cause Of
development. It has taken talent, en-.
Grey and nerve to prove that the Rock
les are the treasurer vaults OF the world;
that our plains and valleys can produce
food and clothing for three Americas,
and that we possess here an empire
complete in itself, Of health. wealth and
beauty. One of the most learned and
ready editorial writers in the Union,
after elccuently pointing to such repre-
sehtatl1e western cnhracteTS rs Denton
and Houston, does us the credit to say:
"We need not be surprised if the West
and Pacific slope furnished hereafter
the strongest minds in public affairs"
Brains will find ready recognition and
employment in the West, but they must
strive as did the first invoice. and not
take it for granted that such commodi.
ties are sufficiently scarce to warrant
unjust criticism, fault finding and a
hunt.me up disposition. Willing hands
are also wanted, and the writer has
never observed case in which the man
who earnestly sought work, with a de.
termination to do something, did no,
get it.-Nen Vest.

Cow story.

A good story comes from Woodstock.
Me. A grocer there owns COW with
horns Of inferior length. Last week
some mischevous boys obtained from
the tapnery pair Of cast off horns,
which, with bit of cement they nicely
fitted over the horns of the COW and
left her to go home at milking time,
which she did. Her owner not only
failed to recognize her, but actually
used force to expel her from tho prem
iscs. The village was searched in vain
for the missing animal, and an adver
tisement was inserted in the local paper
Day after day the stray COW was turned
away, until at last, refusing to obey the
verbal order, the victim Of an innocent
joke seized her by the horns, which
came off. and in the intruder he recog
nized his own property, for the loss Of
which he had SO sadly mourncd.-Er.
A good advertisement for that ce-
ment.

A Rare Curiosity.

Quite a curiosity was found a few
days ago near the camp Of the workmeu
on the new toll road, near Yankee
Fork. 1t is mountain rams head
deeply imbedded 10 pine tree, aud
about six feet from the ground. The
rigat horn is outside aud curls partly
around the tree, while the front Of the
skull and most Of the left horn is GOV.
ersd with the growth Of wood. The
tree is thrifty pine, fifteen inches
through. How that rams head cans
there will always remain . mystery to
scientists. but men of the mountains.
who are familiar with the fighting pro.
penslties OF the wild buck can easily
explain it. The ram, VIII Sc head il
now part Of the tree, stood on the up.
per side of the hill, while his enemy
stood near what was then a pine sap.
ping. When the present relic mado a
rush at ram No. 2, the latter stepped to
one side, and the warriors head, com.
ing in contact with the young tree, split
it wide enough for horn to enter, and
he was left dangling at the mercy Of
his foe. The rest is easily guessed.
The survivor of the fight deliberately
butted his unfortunate adversary until
there was nothing left of him but the
skull-and horns fast in tn, wood. Fred
Myers. one Of the proprietors oe the toll
road will have that portion of the tree
containing the rams head sent to the
Smithsonian Institute. Tt will be a
rare curiosity. and one that cannot be
duplicated.-I. Democrat

Letter From Pierce City.
PIERCE CRY l. T. Sept. 1lth,


Mr.. EDIToR.-Within the last four
weeks some of our people have been
buslly engaged in the endeavor to
bring to light and developc the fact
that Shoshone county is the repository
OF just as rich mineral as may probably
exist elsewhere. Messers McCrum.
Monhardt Il company discovered, some
four weeks ago, silver bearing quartz
lode situated on Gold creek in the Bald
Mountain district, the groupings of
which produced from an assay made at
Graugeville the sum of forty.two dol.
lars, which was however principally gold
Since that time the energetic proprie-
tors Of the said lead, have pushed q
tunnel some fifty feet into the mountain
At the end Of sad tunnel can now be
seen we'll developed mineral lode four
feet in width, with tendency to en-
large at the. bottom. The ore looks
very favorable aud produces upon
rough test good prospect Of silver.
The proprlctors are now packing up
quantity of the ore, preparatory to hav.
ing it sampled, strongly impressed with
the opinion that i. will prove to be a
Bonanza. The gold bearing quartz
lead, which for several years has been
supposed to exist in the same district,
at the head Of Democrat gu'ch, end
from which very rich ore has, from
time to time cen extracted 10 small
quantities; has now passed into the
hands Of experienced, energetic and
practical miners, and under the super
vision Of Mr.. Angus Mcdonald bids
fair to become real Bonanz,. This
gentleman thoroughly understands the
business, having had ycsrs Of experience
10 ouartz minin. 10 other localities, aud
is with great confidence going heart and
soul into the developement of the lead
They cnd away to day large quantity
Of quartz to sample, which will, beyond
doubt, yield two hundred dollars tc
the ton, though there can be seen but
little gold 10 the rock with the naked
eye, every particle produces some. Lei
it be remembered that these lines are
not written with view to excite the
miners afar off, to expend their time
and money upon wild goose chase
On the contrary our own quartz sharps
are by no means unduly excited; for
there is nothing known as yet, to GER
taiu,y, only the existancc of truly well
define ledge, yet we fondly hope that
affairs may terminate in reality, the
same as we now immagine tn M to be
to the end that Shoshone may rise from
the ashes OF her former glory ''bright
particular STAR" amongst her sisters Of
Idaho. That she may become again a
ullblown and blooming rose to enrich
with her golden perfume, the territori
al noscgay, and thereby escape the ig
nouinysof being dismembered without
her will, from the gem Of the noun
tains, to waste her fragrance as an aux
ilary flower in Washington State bou'
