dormancy and the weary granger can
rise in the morning refreshed by un
disturbed sleep. But there is reason
in all things, and when nature paints
our mountain with snow down to
within FIVE miles Of our cucumber
patch we object along with the "ten-
derfeet. Harvesting has commenced
in good earliest, and from all the ground
that was sown early there will be an
abundant yield. Grain ripens slowly,
and harvest will be much later than
usual with us; but there will be agood
yield, and we believe, ready market
for all our produce this year. Emf
grants continue to arrive daily, and at
once interview the land agent, then the
saw.mill is visited and soon another
house rises on the prairie. Ere long
the emigrant who will not stop his
weary team until he drives into the
very town of Mount Idaho will find to
his sorrow that he can not go any fur
ther and that the land over which he
has travelled is all taken.
Judge Buck reached the prairie on a
grey horse on Thursday and this Mon
day. morning started through the
mountains for Boise City in charge of
P. Beamer as pilot. The judge, dur
ing his stay with us has made a host of
warm friends, by his pleasant manners,
and his sterling qualities as manifested
both OH the bench and in his inter-
course with us socially. He will re-
turn and hold an extra term Of court
here during October, We allesteemed
Judge John Clark highly for the many
good traits of character that he pos
sessed, and because he was so long iden-
tilted with the interests of north Idaho
He died universally regretted in this
part of the territory, and his memory
will long ontlast this generation, but
since death removed him we are glad
that his mantle fell upon so worthy a
successor as Norman Buck. We are
sorry to record the death of four of our
citizens, all having been drowned in
Salmon river during the past week.
There seems to be fatality attending
that river, so much so, that many hest
tate to cross it's black waters. George
Foss and w. Dean, both young men,
while assisting Mr.. A. Chapman to
cross band of horses, were taken I'M
der to ri 'e no more alive. After sew
eral days search the body Of Foss Was
recovered several miles down stream,
the remains received every attention
that could be extended under the cir
cumstances. A metallic coffin was taken
down from here in which the body was
placed. His remains reached here
Sunday evening and taken into the
hall. Rev. w. A. Hall conducted the
services, preaching short but most x-
cellent funeral sermon, to large and
deeply impressed audience. Grea,
credit is due to the young men of our
town., who, with such earnest, persist
ent effort recovered the body and gave
to decent christian burial. The body
of Dean has not yet been found, al
though efforts are still being made tc
recover it.
