This is mistake. A year ago last
September, Chinaman voted in
Bellevue; and his vote came near FIX
ing the seat of Alturas county at that
place, as the Board of Canvassers.
when they canvassed the returns, de.
clared that Bellevue had won by a
majority of one. The District Court
was appealed to, however, precinct
Indian Creek that had not been
counted was included in the count.
and Haley was declared entitled to
the county seat. In 1873 Chinaman
voted in Cincinnati, and that was the
FIRST instance on record in this country.
Since that date Cinnamon have voted
in New York, and elsewhere in the
United States.

DOWN THEY CONE!

The Bellevue Daily Chronicle, the
Bellevue Daily Sun, and the Vienna
Weekly Reporter, have suspended
publication during the past week.
The two first named had barely been
IN existence one month, while the Re
porter had been published about three
months. These suspensions were not
unexpected, and we should not be
surprised to witness one or two more
before the "close" season is over.
The fact is that there are too MANY
so-called newspapers in this section.
A week ago, eight newspapers were
being published within the bonnda
ries of Alturas county. This was near
ly as many as all the remainder of Ida
no Territory could boast; and was, of
course, too heavy load for the peo-
pie OF Wood River to carry, liberal as
they are. Hence the suspensions.
There is field on Wood River fro
one good, live daily newspaper to sup
ply the home demand, and an equally
good weekly to disseminate through
out the world reliable information con.
corning our mining and other resour
ces. This field is ably occupied by
the DAILY and WEEKLY TIMES; and
until this section is thoroughly opened
there will not be paying room IN it
for any other paper.

The Boise Democra

The Boise Democrat affects
TO believe that the election of NJ,
Singisar will lead to the anne Ration OF
North Idaho to Washington Territory.
The Democrat is unnecessarily alarm
ed, as Congress will not consent to
the extension Of any Territory. Tie
Territories are too large already, and
if admitted, would become standing
menaces to the general Government,
1t is therefore probable that, instead
of being enlarged, all the Territori-
ties viii be reduced in size before
@sny years.

HIS OWN HOME AGAINST HIM.

The news from Western Idaho :
quite cheerful. Mr. singiser has
probably received majority of so
votes in Boise, Ada, Owyhee and
Washington counties. Even Boise
county, Mr.. .Ainslie's home, returns a
small majority against him, 50 that
MIR. Ainslie is disowned by the very
people who have known him best for
many years. Mr.. Singiser will have a
majority Of 1900 to 1900 through

capital by opposing such reform I'M
