STILL IN THE FIELD.
The Northwestern Manufacturing
and Oar Company has Not
Suspended.

The report of the financial troubles of
the Northwestern Manufacturing and Car
company, of Saltwater, Mimi, has been
taken advantage of by some Of its COM
petitors, and the public seem to have
been misled somewhat. The company
is still in the field, as appeared yesterday
by the fact that q train load of Minnesota
Chief threshers and engines were at the
transfer bound for Kansas City, they be-
ing among the goods manufactured by
this company.
After noticing the above The BEE man
made inquiry of the general agent here,
o. p. McKisson, whose office Is in Van
Brunt, Thompson d Co.'s building, and
there learned that the company haa by
no means failed. 1t was true that a re-
ceiyer had been appointed, but this was
but a temporary move, as the company's
liabilities were only about 81, 100, 900,
while the assets reached g. 900, 900, OF
which so, 800. 900 is in accounts and bills
receivable. The general depression and
slowness Of collections had led Ia
this present financial move. There
are already on hand nearly the
usual seasons supply of sepa.
~rators, horse powers and engines. So
that the company will 90 right ON sup.
plying the trade as usual. The trade
need not worry, therefore, about there
being any trouble in getting supplies, as
the company is equally confident that the
fall collections will swing them all clear,
The popularity Of the goods is so great,
the plant 90 valuable, and the bushes.
90 large and 80 fairly established, that il
can be carried on as Of old. Mr.,
McKisson, the agent here, is therefore
~buckling down to business as usual with
M fear Of the present or thefuture, but
J confident that all will 60 along smoothly,

A Man Missing.
and must b

Mr.. james wardwell, of Emmettsyille,
informs us that before leaving home
yesterday he learned that party Of
hunters returning from an excursion to
Long Valley reported one of their men
missing The party is said to belong to
Boise Valley, one of their number went
out alone hunting. the Others remaining
in camp. They say that they heard two
reports OF gun, which was followed by
the halloing of the man; that they went
in search of him. but could find no
trace, though they remained near the
spot and continued the search during
ten days. On the twelfth day, which
was Thursday last, the party reached
the Payette Valley. where they are said
to have made this report. 1t seems
strange that they could hear the gun
and the voice Of the man and still be
unable to discover any trace of him dur
ing so long a search. Several parties
have gone from Boise Valley into the
| mountains hunting, and it is a little
perplexing not to be able to learn the
name of the missing man.-Statesman

Our Next Probate Judge.

Henry C. Street has received the DEM
ocratic nomination for Probate Judge
and is a man in every way capable for
the position and Will most assuredly be
elected over that unscrupulous ringster,
Parsons. Judge Street is an old Idaho
pioneer and has served the people in
various capacities in manner most sat
isfactory. and all who know him or his
history will not hesitate to place him in
the honorable and important position
of Probate Judge, the duties of which he
is in every way conversant. AS an at
torney Judge Street has always occu-
pied a prominent position before the
courts of Idaho, Nevada and California
and in the administration of the office
OF Probate Judge of this county the peo-
pie will find him an honest, careful and
competent official. The people want 6
true man in that Office and for that rea-
son they will vote for Street and he viii
be elected.

ence, to recognize the importance and

on which depends largely the successful
transaction and intelligent management
OF a community's whole business turn

say, is the deplorable condition OF af-

duly routed. We ask not the luxury Of
making Ketchum the great mail distrib-
uting point for the county, however
practicable 1t would be. We have other
interests that are building US up but we
demand at LEAST timely letter mail.
The question is, how can we eradicate
the present evil and procure it? Where
shall we begin? In HALEY? Possibly
SO. But by just representation Of our
needs and plain substantiated state
ment of the condition OF the Wood Riv-
! er mail service, to the proper authori.

ing the present abominable injustice.
1t is within the power of Mr.. A. J.
Boomer, agent for the contractors in
this county, to re-let the regular mail
contract from HALEY to Ketchum to the
Pacific Express, in which case it would
come by train. This much accomplish,
ed, the demand by the people of Ketch-
UNI and the county to the north, east and
west, for better way mail service
would doubtless be realized by the au
thorities and railway mail clerk place.

easily obtained in case the contract wa
re-let, and way pouch for each poin

We have railroad now and why nc
enjoy the facilities it offers for bette
communication? The day Of wait
