DR.. J. NJ. Rice, the colony organ
izer, is now in Portland, Oregon,
where no is endeavoring to induce cap
italists to invest in our mines, and
emigrauts to come and settle in our
valleys. DR.. Rice is working for all
of Southern Idaho, and not for anv
special locality, and is keeping the
TIMES posted IN regard to his move
ments. In one of his recent letters
he saws:
am working on my own means,
which are very limited; but am among
people who know me and have conf.
dence in me. Many of the moneyed
men here co-opcrated with me in sue.

confidence in my Judgment. If the
people OF Wood River would send
some good, live man down here for a
while--a rustler--it would help me
wonderfully. don't ask for a cent

the railway offices, which are crowded

desirable Investments.
My visit here has already done much
good in the way of interesting people
sufficiently to cause them to inquire
about Wood River and the surround.
ing country. If my efforts are sec.
onded by the people of Idaho as they
should be, will do Idaho a great deal
of good. If the Legislature passes
the bill to create q Bureau of Immi-
grafton, which John Haley and Judge
Brearley promised to have passed,
several thousand choice emigrants and
a large amount Of capital can be Sc.
cured right in this State for Wood

MONEY Is MONEY.
Aud 1t Is Getting Scarcer Every Day
What Becomes Of IT.

A~SNVSaVS Va SSS
Notwithstanding the heavy imports
OF currency to Wood River-which
average over 100000 per month-the
circulating medium is so scarce that it
is evident that many persons are
'freezing" on to every quarter they
get, and burying it in out. of-the- way
places. This is no new trick of miners
and people everywhere, as the many
finds in old communities attest, and
in cases Of sudden deaths of miners
living in cabins, their friends, in hunt.
ing up their assets, seldom neglect to
examine the ground in the vicinity Of
their residences, to find possible evi.
deHces of scaches."
Two or three years ago there was
no money here, and the balances re-.
qu'red to make exchanges were
brought in by stage at cost of 80 per
$1,000; later on, this rate was reduced
to $3.50 per $1,000. But since the
completion OF the railway the rate has
been reduced until i, is now 80 cents
per 800, or 50 per $1,000. Az, how
ever, currency is getting scarce all
over the country, and the railwa Us
seem disposed to increase the charges
for their services, the rate may be
raised before long. This hampers us
of Wood River to a considerable extent
but we cannot think of a remedy for
the evil, and we will therefore have to
stand it, for few months ut least.
Bynextspring confidence will prob
ably he re-establishcd, and money
withdrawn from its hiding.p!aces and
be more plentiful.

ANDERSON,s POSITION


In consequence OF the rather liberal
votes and expressions of Congressman
Anderson of this state ON the tariff, the
last being his vote to take up the Morri
son tariff bill, 1t is possible that
his position may have been misun-
derstood: or rather he may have been
too hastily set down as q free trader.
The Junction City Union. his home or
gan, has an interview with the congress
man which defines his position and puts
him more fully in accord with the Re-
publican doctrines than his critics have
given him credit for. Mr.. Anderson
says that "he never was and never can
be, either free Trader OF Democrat"
and thai, las between the doctrine of
free trade and that OF protection, am,
and always haYe been, a protection
lst.' He says he voted to consid'
er the Morrison bill simply be-
cause its consideration afforded the only
possible opportunity To discuss and
amend the existing tariff" He wants,
he says, ITO raise the duty on wool, to
place lumber on ihs free list, and to re
duce the revenue on sugar" He Is
opposed to the horizontal reduction
proposed in the Morrison bill. He /:
Gin favor of considering each article and
rate by itself and on It's own merits; o.

the New York convention; but, on the
contrary, he thinks his friends there
acted with great wisdom and good judR-

he regrets the circumstances had not
been otherwise, but he recognizes the
fact that the action of the convention will
not cause any division In the Republican
party In New York, and he regards that
as more important than his OWa per-

Commonwealth; The fixing of the
18th Of jury As the date OF the holding
of the state convention to nominate a
Republican state ticket was 3 compro-
mise between those favoring very early
convention, say May and june, and those
who wished to put It of . little later,
We believe that not q single member Of
the committee favored later date than
August 5, although one or two preferred
that no date be fixed until after the Chi
cago conYention. There was no acri-
mony in the committee, but only diff
ference of judgment as to the best time
On the whole, we think the action of the
committee shows q good feeling in the
party, one that portends harmony In the
end. OF course there will be contest

THE GREATEST EFFORT OF HIS
LIVE


A special dispatch from Washington
to the Philadelphia Times thus describes
the Wood Peters circus In the lower
house of congress:
A scene occurred on the floor of the
house to-day, during discussion on the
Wood Peters contested election case,
such as ia rarely witnessed. Ii WAS
cranks' day in the house and they made
the most OF II. The fun began with a
two hours spS ech from Mr.. Wood, the
contestant He read his spI ech in the
>eutTai aisle. displaying pDrIly figure
OF man about so years of age In bob
tailed coat and with . country grocery
air. IL Was the greatest effort OF his life.
But this was the bluest of skim milk
by comparison with tn II which followed.
Judge Bennett, of North Carolina, had
made a minority report in favor OF
Wood, the rest of the committee on cleo
tons being unanimously on the other
side. On his report Judge Rennett made
. speech nearly two hours in length, in
which he discussed constitutional Law in
the most horid style and pampous man,
ner. He Is q large man. with towering
bald head, the hair having apparently
all slipped down on his chin, and has {
voice like bull He ragged and roarec
with ponderous fury, and WAS con
stanlly RuYed by the whole houss
numerically. Every time he mIsquotet
the law the lawyers laughed and ever
time he slaughtered Latin q groan wen
up from the scholars. which set TIN
whole house IN a roar. THIS amustS
the house 80 immensely that one mem
Der after another got up and gave Ben

out He then convuls. Il the house b,
asking permission to rest awhile, til'int

ed, Whereupon Pettihone amused tn
house still more, his harangue helm
more fitted for field service than i'r IN
