This is a practical demonstration of the
principle that agriculture thrives III proportion
to the increase and development of other
industries. In communities where agriculture
is almost the only industry land is cheapest, the
farmers profits are smallest, and the farm
laborcrs' wages are lowest. AS the proportion
of agricultural population dnnnishes from n
to 50, AZ and IL per cent, there Is a CORE
spending rise in the values of land, farm pro-
dnce. income and wages. The development of
home industries has invariably exercised
favorable influence upon agriculture. What is
true with reference to individual States and
communities is equally valid with reference to
the country rs Il whole If British book writers
could have had their way. Americans would
have devoted themselves exclusively to aSrlcul-
ture, furnishing England with food products
and the raw materials of manufacture, and
taking in return manufactured articles. That
policy would have been equally disastrous to
American agriculture and to the general
prosperity of the country.

"ALDERNEY BRAND"
, 1884-02-02

A movement is on foot to locate an
emigrant house at this point. Sew
eral months ago, under the stimulant
Of sudden enthusiasm, a large sum
of money was subscribed for this
purpose, but the chill Of prOcrastina-
tion paralyzed the good intention
and the proposition was "lOst to
sight and memory dear" However
it has become apparent that some
thing must be done in this matter
and that Immediately. Travel has
increased to an amazing extent and
some provision is necessary to give
assistance and aid to those coming
to the country in the search of homes.
While the cost of shelter would
not amount to a great deal, yet the
benefits to accrue there-frOm would
be incalculable. The knowledge OF
the existence Of an emigrant house
here would attract many who would
otherwise go elsewhere. We are
pleased to learn that the project Is
once more securing the serious at
tention Of the public, for now that
the people are aroused to the impOr-
tance of fostering every movement
to benefit the city there will be no
postpOnement Of action.

NJ. o. REANoN,

At the present time every person
in from the "mines" Is hooked on to
and interviewed regarding the camp
and prospects. The latest arrival
from Eagle City is Chas. Sweeny, of
the large mercantile firm of Chas.
Swecny & Co., of this city. Mr.. S.
spent four days at the diggings, and
is able to discourse intelligently up
on the prospects. He has had ex-
perience through personal observa-
tion in both California and Nevada,
and knows something about mines.
He feels satisfied that the Coeur d.
Alene mines will surpass anything
in the way of gold diggings hereto
fore known on the coast, and believes
the yield will equal that Of the ccle-
brated Alder Gulch. Men are flock
ing into Eagle City at the average Of
at least 50 per day. One day while
he was there the arrivals counted up
to l15, and he met over co men on
the way in as he was coming out.
While several trails are being used,
the Evolution route is the only one
open for pack trains. In spite Of all
statements to the contrary, it is
plainly evident that the only route
that can or will be used until late in
the summer is the trail from the
Mission. Charley made the trip to
satisfy himself regarding the extent
and value of the new camp. lie is
perfectly satisfied with the result of
his observations. The mines are
rich, the chief supply point will be
Spokane Falls, and the entire cOun-
try is bound to be benefited by
them. He was not idle during his
stay as he has, in conjunction with
Geo. T. Crane. +. II. Moore, w. IL.
Taylor, c. A. Griffitts, c. G. Brad
shaw and RObt. Linden, purchased
twelve acres Of land Immediately in
Eagle City, which will be laid out in
blocks and lots at once. Mr.. Sweeny
was to return to the camp to-day for
the purpose of experimenting the
plotting Of the land. This invest
ment is a very fortunate one, as
Eagle City is bound to be the pOpu-
lated center of the mines, and the
investors will make a heavy stake
out Of the property.

Superintendent Drumheller has a
vehicle purchased by the Transporta-
tion Company that he will start on
the road Monday morning for the
Post. A stage will leave Spokane
Falls regularly every morning at
o'clock. Arrangements are being
made to cut a road directly into
Eagle City, and that route will be
opened, it is thought, by the last of
the present month. Then stages
will run clear through from this
point to the mines without change.
Applications for passage or freight
should be made to S. q. Whitman,
at Wells, Fargo Express office.

While the length and breath Of the
new advertisement Of Mission City
may seem sufficiently conspicuous in
itself to attract attention without a
notice through our local columns,
yet it Is not out of place to say u few
words in regard to the location OF the
new town site. The Mission is an
old station on the Mullen road and
Cpur dAlene river. Up to a recent
date the existence Of the Mission
was not known but to very few peo-
pie fifty miles away. 1t has sudden
ly been brought before the world and
the name, in connection with the
mines, has become as familiar almost
as COeur d'Alene itself. The Mis-
sion Is situated on the road to the
new gold diggings, and while there
is no attraction beyond beauty Of sit
uation to draw people there, yet
there is no way OF going into the
mines from the south except through
the place. II Is therefore bound to
take very prominent place in the
future Of the mining region, and
from Its location Is certain TO become
y large and flourishing city. Already
have enterprising parties laid out
plains to put up number Of houses,
and the growth will be rapid and
Aolid. There are few points in the
vest where such chances are presen-
Ted for investment.

J. n. Glover and d. NJ. Drumhel-
Ter made n trip over the road be-
tween the Falls and CGur d'Alene
City Sunday for the purpose of tax
ing observations and arranging for
stations for the Transportation Com
pany's stages. They found every
thing favorable for an early start
and as soon as the stages arrive from
below the line will be put in opera
tiOn. A diagram of the country is
in the hands Of Mr.. Drumheller and
an effort is to be made to put in a
road from the Mission to Eagle City
ria Big Meadows. The route is
practicable and makes the route ten
miles or more shorter than by the
way of Evolution. II the road can
be constructed, and from the inform
alton Superintendent Drumheller
has in regard to the trail, that can be
done at a comparative light expend-
iture, the new route will be opened
as soon as work can be commenced
and stages will run direct from Spo-
kane Falls into the mines. The ice
now in the lake prevents steamers
from running and will be an impedi-
ment to navigation for several weeks,
probably, but the steamers are in
readiness to take advantage of the
first breakup. While direct con-
nection will be made with the boats
at the Post, yet there is no doubt in
the minds Of the officers Of the Trans
portation Company that stages will
be put in operation directly between
this point and Eagle City. Some un-
avOidable delay has been expert
enced in receiving the coaches,
but the vehicles are expected this
week and will be put on the road
Immediately.

Pennington Items.


! (From our special correspOndenL)
OF course "the mines" is tho leading
topic here as well as everywhere else now.
But in Pennington It could not we'll be
| otherwise from the numbers who, on
| horseback, or on mule back, in wagons,
with pack trains, and wagon trains, and
every other means Of conveyance almost,
are daily passing through urthriity town
on their way to the new land Of gold
And this again could not, and should not,
well be otherwise when 1t is understood
that it is unquestionably true that Uia
Pennington is decidedly the nearest route
to the mines. Eagle City is only very
| few miles north Of line due east from
Pennington, and only about eighty miles
at the fartherest now, and when the boats
get to running on the lake and the new
stage road finished from here to the lake
even that short distance will, it is thought
be shortened. People going to the mines
should take the cars to Coliax, and from
the new stage line will convey them
through the richest part OF the Palouse
country to the Cpur d'Alene lake, which

The masquerade ball given on the even
ing Of January 25th, by the Pennington
Brass Band, was grand success. By the
way, the band itself is no SLOUGH, even II
il is new.
The CeUr dAlcne Post printed at this
place, by Mr.. Land, is steadily, and de-
serving gaining favor. Being so near to
the mines he gets the very latest news,
which is giving his journal a wide circu-
lItion.

One Of the consequences OF the
great increase of population is
the danger Of having some very bad
characters mixed in with the desira-
ble class Of inhabitants. 1t is evil
dent that the hallucination of gold
gathering has just as great hold on
the adventurer as the honest man, if
not more so, and our city is not es-
Gaping a visitation from that speci-
men Of the human biped known as
"tOugh citizens" 1t is true that
the number now here is not large,
but considering the rapid accumula-
tion Of people it is only natural to
expect that time will produce more
of the same breed. We have heard
of no depreciation beyond an effort
made one night this week to rob
man named Barney. This individ-
ual was passing along Howard street
at late hour, when man jumped
out of the alley between Rima's
store and Union Block and grabbed
for his watch. The would-be rObber
caught the chain, tore it from the
vest and jerked the watch from the
vest pocket. The watch was de-
tached from the chain by the ViO-
lence of the exertion, and fell to the
sidewalk. Barney struck the high
waymah a violent blow in the face,
and not enjoying the reception the
thug fed up the alley and has not
since been arrested. 1t is the duty
Of the city council to make some ar
rangements for the protection of the
city at this time when we can look
for an influx Of people, good, bad
and Indifferent. In the first place it
would be well to build at once a good
Jail. Heretofore this unpleasant ap-
pendage has been almost unneces-
sary, but as the place becomes more
Of metropolis the want of Gala

is constructed capable of retaining a
sober prisoner for twenty-fOur hours,
an assistant should be appointed to
aid the Marshal in the performance

full enough now, and the labOrs of
the officer are not oppressive, yet it
would be well to prepare for all
emergencies.

Robert Crane informs us that the
steamers for Lake CPur d'Alene are
beng pushed ahead rapidly. Glen
Kings propeller is ready for her ma
chinery, which is daily expected to
arrive. The boat is about the size OF
the "FleetwOOd," and is quite q
handsome craft. Hatch's steamer,

ing more freight than the propeller
and drawing less water, was having
her sheeting put on last week.
