LOCAL N EWS.

LONG Valley, in this county, is attracting
,o,no ATTENTION. and those who have visited
# This season can see no reason why the
soJ and climate is not as we'll adapted to
agriculture as other sections Ofldaho, Cam
az prairie, for instance, the altitude of
which is said to be greater than that Of
Long Valley. The valley is sixty or sew
entv miles in length, and the average width
il four OF five miles. 1t is surrounded by
dense forests of pine.and fir, and is watered
nv the North Fork Of Payette, which
stream has its source in the Payette Lakes,
at the upper end Of the valley. One oft these
lakes is four miles in length, the other
twelve miles. They abound in the famous
and delicious red fish. The soil of Long
Valley is rich and deep. The only question
that naturally arises is: as the valley too
high and the climate too severe to success
fully grow vegetables and cereals" The
came question presented itself in re-
gard TO Camas Prairie, and has always been
answered in the affirmative till recently.
By actual test the prairie has proven to be
second to no agricultural district in South
ern Idaho. The soil in Long Valley is just
as good, if not better, than that of Camas
prairie and the climate of the latter being
adapted to agriculture, one would naturally
conclude that The former, being lower in
altitude, everything else being equal would
be ct least equally productive. In the
growing of hay Long Valley, of all other
sections Of Idaho, stands first, and in this
particular cannot be surpassed anywhere.
Rye grass, red-top, wild clover, slough grass
and wild timothy grow luxuriantly all
over the valley, which is one of the most
beautiful in the Western country, and is
the sportsmans paradise, the valley and
surrounding country Astounding in all
kinds Of game, and the Payette Lakes,
North Fork and other streams being filled
with fish Of the choicest varieties. Several
large parties of pleasure seekers have Wis
ited that section this season, and they did
not seek in vain. We hope to be able to
say before great while, that it has been
demonstrated, by actual test, that this
beautiful valley possesses an clement of
real worth, beyond what is already known,
in addition to that of beauty in itself and
surrounding scenery, and as pleasure re-
sort If such is proven it will be an adj
dition to the agricultural wealth of Boise
county, one of the most favored counties
of Idaho in natural advantages, that we
can all well feel proud of.

take up would be that of a colored
man. He has never had a serious ac-
cident, but is always afraid of one
when such an occurrence happens. T.
have known him to carry it to such
an extent that ifa cOlOred man should
happen to be his first passenger he
would sit down and not gather up
his tickets until the next station was
reached. That's a mild instance,
however. A horseshoe is a railroad

An Opium Victim.

In response to Judge Ferral's
command, Richard Vaughn, stand
up" a pale, sickly-loOking young
man, not more than twenty years of
age, arose in the prisoners dock on
Satul day last to receive sentence for
burglary in the second degree. The
prisoner had pleaded guilty, and at
his own request was sent to San
Quentin instead of the House of Cor
rectiOn for the reason that he believed
he would have a better chance to re-
gain his health across the bay. A
more wretched-looking object than
this unfortunate youth as he appeared
for sentence-his face ghastly-white
and thin, his nerves shattered, his
whole body in a tremble, complete
wreck both in mind and body-has
seldom been seen in a criminal dock,
where SO many sad sights are
presented. Fora few minutes among
the audience, in a chair, kindly pro-
vided by the bailiff, a middle aged
lady, closely yelled, sat and watched
the proceedings. When the poor
wretch faltered out his prayer to be
sent to San Quentin, this lady, with
a convulsive sob, hurriedly left the
court room. She was the mother of
the prisoner, and had been to see the
Judge about his case. Only a few
years ago he was a bright, healthy, |
boy, with excellent pros
poets before him. He belonged to a
good family, aud his brothers and
sisters moved in the best society. In
IN evil moment, owing to bad COM
pany, he visited an opium den. From
hat his downward progress was
Home, family, friends, honor
md health, ali were abandoned and
for the deadly fumes of the
opium pipe. When arrested lie had
enough to shield his family
rom shame by giving an assumed
lame. Judge Ferral, in view of the
ad circumstances, gave the prisoner
comparatively light sentence Of two
'ears at San Quentin. In all proba-
'ilities he will not trouble the state
'alf that period Of time. Yet his un-
lappy mother was thankful for the
.indness shown her ruined boy by
Judge, and thanked him with
in her eyes.-Sun Francisco
