SNAKE River Eten, :.
FELIX.
Idaho Statesman


Mr. Farques, who lives on Snake
river, a few miles above Salmon Falls.
had the misfortune one day last week
to have his barn, corral and hay
stacks burned, losing besides the build
ing some fifty tons of hay, wagon
and portion of moving machine.
4 small island on Snake river. lust
above Salmon Falls, on which Mr..
Frank Corbell had mining claim
with q house erected on it and the us
ual appliances for mining was noticed
to be settling down into the water.
This was not caused by rise in the
river, as the water was low and there
was no ice gorges below, the island
being situated but short distance
above the break of the falls. It was
plain that the phenomenon was due
to the gradual subsistence of the is
land itself. Seeing this, Mr.. Coiben
one evening went on the island and
removed what he could of his effects,
and the next morning the island had
entirely disappeared

a Few Words to Mine owner.

Eastern and Western capitalists arc

Our Water Power.

Idaho Territory has as fine water
power in convenient places for mills
and factories as any section Oh the
American continent. The mountains
arc full OF streams Of sufficient size TO
give all the power necessary TO run
tie heaviest machinery. 1t is true
that la the mountains machinery could
not be run by water power during the
winter months, but in and near the
valleys there would be no trouble in
keeping machinery running the year
round Idaho needs wooden mills, &c !.
and it is strange that men with some
means do not branch out more into
manufacturing enterprises. There is
not a wooden mill in the Territory, al
though the wool clip is large. Labor
is cheap, and it looks as though fac
tory of this kind would do a paying
business.

The holders Of stock in the Garden

to attend meeting, on February 18th,
to determine the question Of disco
luton Of the Company. The stock
holders. we believe, will decide to dis
solve, as the stock is now worth but
little, witt, no chance of its ever being
worth its par value. A grist and saw
mill in Garden valley cannot be made
to pay while under the control of a
Board Of Trustees, who are not bene-
fitted enough to justify them in neg
iccting their own business to attend
to that of the Company. In the hands
of a good mill man, with no other
business to attend to, both the saw
and grist mills would be good proper
tv The holders of stock would get
back portion, if not large per CEN
ago, of their money by the dissolution.

| The Yocum-Curtin contested cleo
tion case in which all our readers have
a family interest, seems not to be much
nearer settlement than it was six
months ago. Mr.. Springer, chairman
of the house election committee, makes
terrible effort about twice week on
the average to have a vote taken on
this now world renowned case, but
e elch and every time thus far, great
big Democratic brother member has
SUDDENLY remembered that he had an
other little piece of business on hand
of more immediate Importance than
the settlement of Yocum Curtin, on a
vote being taken the other members
of the house have invariably thought
so too, thus disposing of the white
elephant for the present. No prophet
will attempt to prophesy just when or
in what manner this matter will end,
of one thing, however, there is reason
able certainty, as all things have an
end so shall this, although the end
may be the swearing in of the new
member to be elected next November.
Among the other sudden advances
in price, consequent upon the alleged
return of more prosperous times, the
steady increse of fair prospects for our
lumber dealers is one that most deeply
concerns the people of a large section
of country in this part of the state.
Hemlock bill stuff, for instance, which
sold two years ago for seven dollars a
thousand board measure now readily
commands nine and ten dollars. Nor
does this advance in price seem to be
temporary one, to last for few days
or months, but indications, such as
prominent buyers making contracts
for large quantities and for long periods,
the great number of new buildings be-
ing erected in all sections of the coun-
try, and the ready cash that awaits all
shipments seem to warrant the belief
that our lumbermen are to have an
unexampled era of prosperity, which
shall compensate them for the dark
clouds of solemn import that have for
so many years threatened to close on
them in bankruptcy and ruin. The
opinion is prevalent that instead of
ten dollars being the ruling price not
far distant future will show an advance
to twelve dollars and perhaps more.
Several lumbermen in this section
have advanced the wages of their men
which will soon compel all Others to
follow suit, until in short time we
will have little boom right here at
home which will be of mutual benefit
to oil parties interested.

over the one recently vacated.
j. S. Hyde's steam mill near the
Toby farm house was entirely con-
sumed by fire on Friday last. The
fire originated from u spark blown
from the stack, while the men EN-.
ployed about the mill were at dinner,
and had gained such great headway
when discovered that it was inpossi-
ble to save the mill. No lumber was
burned owing to the fact that the
wind blowed in an opposite direction.
The loss is from So, 900 to $4,000, with
no insurance. The mill was well
stocked and the loss by having to wait
to rebuild is Of no inconsiderable inn
pOrtauce. The work of rebuilding tn e
mill will be commenced without de-
lay.
