Wood River times. [volume] (Hailey, Idaho) 1882-1915, 1884-10-31
FROM CANVAS PRAIRIE.

There has been good acreage of fall
grain sown this fall, and this has been
very favorable fall for putting in
grain. The late raias have put the
ground in splendid order, aud early
sown grain is now up. l think it
would asto,lish the Wood Riverites if
they could see the large quantities of
vegetables that have been raised on
Camas this season.
The school in the town of Soldier
has been in session three weeks. A
young man named Jewel has been in
charge. District No. will open
their school in the course of u week
or two; as soon as they can get their
house ready. Mrs. Heath will pre-.
side there.
Three cheers for Ohio,
The Queen OF the West!
She spurns the vile tr ,itor
In scorn from her breast:
Her voice comes like thunder,
From distance xfxr:

Is to hinder 4 war;"
The Democratic papers say Ohio is
a staunch Republican State. May she
remain so while Republ,canism is the
synonym of patriotism and progress.
How anyone with their "eyes open"
can be a Democrat, is mystery to
me. If there is any villainy huge
enough to demand the protec.
ton Of political party, the Demo.
cratic is the party to take it under her
fostering-wing for the purpose OF in
creasing her votes. For an example:
Look at Mormonism, humbug OF
the nineteenth century, that was i'm
posed upon the people of the United
States for the purpose of-not pro-
mitigating a new religion, which
would have been an insult to any en-.
lightened mind-but of establishing
new political power, purpose they
1.-THE leaders of the Mormon church)
came nearer accomplishing than sore
know or others will admit. That re-
lgion is only used as cloak is clearly
established by the fact that they teach
no religion in their tabernacles. That
political power was, is shown by their
teaching the faithful to defy the Gov
eminent of the United States and
strengthening their numbers ~ prose-
lyting 50 heavily from foreign powers,
converts from which would have no
regard for our country. Which party
do these renegade parricides assist
with their votes :? The Democratic.
Why? Because for the sake of get.
