Crops and Roads in Boise Valley,
BOISE CITY, May 26, 1884.
EDITOR TRIBUNE-In compliance with
your request ard my promise to drop
you few notes occasionally, will en-
deavor to fulfil by giving your readers
n few lines caught on the wing"
Times are dull with us, in fact they are
everywhere all over the country at this
period of the year; consequently BOISE
City is not an exception to the general
rule. Very few houses are for sale or
rent, however; they seem TO be in de-
mand.
Our people are getting along very
we'll under the circumstances. We are
all looking with an anxious eye for the
coming of the old iron horse. and are
in hopes it will blow the whistle of
peace and prosperity to our city as we'll
as the surrounding country. Please
hurry it up and let it como with all the
speed imaginable. 1t will do you all
good down there as well as ourselves.
Both places should be friendly toward
each other, and why should they not,
when the interests Of both are identical
with almost every one in the valleyr In
the language of the Indian, this back
biting and throwing insinuations at
each other is "no good" Nothing will
be accomplished by it.
The cropsin the vicinity of our city
are, we are informed, very backward
for this time of year, though things are
beginning to take new turn for the
better. A gentle shower of rain at the
present time would be Of great benefit
To the farming community. 1t would
bring moisture to The surface, as we'll as
stop irrigation for awhile. 1t is thought
there will be moro hay raised this year,
including clover, than for good num-
ber Of years. We will try and speak of
this more fully at some future time and
tell you how it is.
Road Supervisor Ellis is busily en-
gagged repairing the road leading down
the river. It's said that Mr.. Ellis is do
ing better work on the road than has
been done for good number Of years.
A good thing, and good time to work
the roads it has been for the past
month or moro. There is nothing of
moro Importance to any country than
good roads. 1t Is one of the best few
things Of which too much cannot be said.
1t is the bone and sinew of every COM
munity. It is Of incalculable benefit to
every one VALLEY.

IA paper for children between six
and SIXTEEN" is what the publishers OF
Harper's Young People claim for it, and
If they would add "the best paper for
children of the same age" they would
not be wrong. Its stories are high
toned, and while amusing are not filed
with the sensational and semi-depraved
stuff characteristic Of too many Juvenile
papers.

THE MORNING HERALD

LNOR 1884 will be the cheapest morning pa

1t will also be the best While it will make
speciality of local and State news, it claims the
world for its field, and each issue of The
Morning Herald will be a complete, compact
history of the events of the previous day.
The story will be told entertainingly, and
while it will not be long enough to tire you it
will not be too short to be interesting. 1t will
be spicy but never vulgar. 1t will not pander
to prurient tastes but will be prc-eminently a
paper for the business man and his family.

the industries of our country; ii is under no

columns are under no control save that of its

old Sonora invites him to seat in the
parlor. where he can enjoy the extreme
felicity of talking to his mother-in-law
that-is-to. be. the girl as vet scarcely
speaking to him. Then if the old lady
likes him pretty well she calls in all
the relations of both the aspirants for
matrimonial honors, and after four or
five months consultation they are al
lowed to take themselves to each other.
You may think this story exaggerated;
but it is not half as bad as a young
Mexican, friend of mine told it to
me.
The Cathedral here WAS built in 1745
and is by far the finest old building [
have ever seen. The architecture is
part Grecian, which predominates,
and part lone. 1t is an immense
structure, the lowest part of the wall
rising to height Of at least one hun
bred feet. A square tower rises from
one side of the front thirty or forty feet
above the walls q cupola tower in the
other nearly seventy-tive feet above
the walls, each filed with bells. In
the cupola is a clock. But the mag
nifcent dome in the center is the most
striking feature. 1t is supported by
sixteen columns, all beautifully orna-
mented. 1t is at least sixty feet in
diameter and the cross on the top is
neaer heaven by two hundred feet than
l, standing at its base. The whole build
ing covers a large square of nearly
two hundred feet. There are three
other churches in the town, some much
older than the one | have attempted
to describe, but as my knowledge of
Spanish is very limited and there are no
Americans in the place, cannot find
out any thing about them. There sew
eral very nice Plazas or public squares
in the town, in each OF which are
fountains. some of them having three
or four. The water is thrown from
them in many different ways, but the
most attractive is the central fountain
in Main or Cathedral Plaza. Though
worn and ragged looking from age and
neglect, it is still very handsome. a
figure in bronze represents old Nep-
tune, god of the waters, in command
ing attitude, standing on a large shell.
The highest stream of water is thrown
from the middle prong of his famous
Irlucul, which ~ Helu Ill MS flSnt
hand. Four serpents eject water from
their mouths over the edge of the ba-
sin in which the shell is resting,
and the whole is supported by four
hideous looking monsters, with water
nymphs astride their necks, their eyes,
and their nostrils wide open. From
the latter two streams of water are
thrown far into the great basin which
surrounds all. KARS.

Magic No More a Mystcry-secn From


Across the World.
*HA ROUN of Aleppo," said Sir Philip
IL Dcrval, had mastered every secret
in nature which the nobcr magic seeks to
fathom. He discovered that the art of heal
ing is to assist nature to throw off the disease
to summon as it were, the whole system to
eject the enemy that has fastened on a part.
His process all included the reinvgoration of
the principle of life
In this the Eastern sage merely anticipated
the practice of the best physicians of to-day.
What life itself is, nobody knew then-nO-
body knows now. But we have learned
something of tho reasons why the mysterious
tide rises and falls. Provided the great or
gans of the body are not irreparably destroy
ed, medical science can always relieve, and
often save. Yet no reputable physician now
adheres to the barbarous and stupid processes
Of depletion, such as bleeding, BY which it
was attempted to cure disease by reducing the
PATIENT ability to resist it. Nowadays we
do not tear down the fort to help the garrison
we strengthen it.
In this intelligent and benetcent work it is
conceded that PAHKE Is'S TONIC leads all
other medicines. As an invigorant il acts
immediately and powerfully upon the crcu-
atiOn and the organs Of digestion, thus giving
Nature the assistance she calls for. 1t follows
that all ailments of the stomach, kidneys and
liver arc at once relieved or cured. No other
preparation embodies the same qualities or
produces similar results. It is delicious to use,
and the hest known anti-intoXicant. Price

The later one to substitute the natu-

freighted with more peril to the flu
