What the Chronicle Says:

At last the HALEY Times is compelled /
to acknowledge the fact that there is a
"bare possibility" that the Wood River I
Branch of the Oregon Short Line may j
be extended to Ketchum. Now, this is q I
great concession for paper which has |
would be the metropolis of Wood River, |
for the reason that it was the terminus
of the railroad and the shipping point
for the northern country. OF course the
people of HALEY needed comfort, know
ing as they did, the frail hold they had
on prosperity, and the Times gave them
the best it had. 1t would not do to ac-
knowledge that the much lauded Hal
ley could by any possibility become, as
it is bound to, a mere side track for
Bullion freight and passengers, conse-
quently every person who could by any
possibility be called an authority, even
though they had never seen a railroad
official in their lives, were interviewed

says that HALEY must necessarily main

is, in the centre of the rich
mining and agricultural regions of Wood

THE CALDWELL FIRE.
A Whole Block Consumed, Loss about
$40, 900.


Caldwell suffered its first great loss on
Wednesday afternoon, by the destruc-
ton by fire OF nearly block OF bust
ness and dwelling houses. The fire
broke out in Liggets hotel, which was
furnished with stovepipe fiues instead
of brick chimneys, as were in fact all
the others.
Mrs. Ligget had made up the fire to
do some baking and went to the front
Of the house, leaving the drafts open.
The fire, probably heated to redness,
set fire to the cloth lining and in mo-
ment the roof was in flames. The alarm
was instantly given and although the
whole town worked hard, packing wa
ter and removing furniture, the fiery
element reigned. A stiff wind was
blowing from the north and the flames
took hold of G. H. Sebree's residence,
which adjoined the Ligget hotel on the
east, and that was destroyed. The Cald-
well hotel, on the west side, became the
prey of the fiend at the same time, but
considerable in it were saved. From
Sebree's it jumped vacant lot to the
empty store formerly occupied by De-
Lano, Clay Il McFadden; that went like
finder, and the bakery, owned by j. Z.
Peters, was also consumed. East of the
bakery was NJ B. Bowman's saloon, from
which all the stock and fixtures were
removed before the building burned.
In the rear of the vacant store stood
Harry Aliens residence and that, with
all its contents, was devoured.
The dwelling of j. Hamm, on Middle
ton street, across the alley from Bow
mans saloon was threatened, as was also
his blacksmith shop, south Of it. The
drug store of Cox & Martin, on Front
avenue, was also in the path of the fire
and it required almost superhuman
work to save it. But about the time
the flames had consumed everything to
Middleton street, a gale or rather hur-
ricane came up from the southeast roll
ing the dust in clouds and turning what
fire there was in the ruins back over the
route, thus stopping its spread, but
placing the corral OF Campbell s. Black
in jeopardy BY means of wet blankets
and plenty of water buckets, the flames
were kept from it.
There being nothing left to burn the
fire died out. The cellar back of Cald-
we'll hotel continued to moulder and
about dark blazed up with great fury,
but the roof, covered with dirt, soon
fe in.
All the while the fire was raging
sparks We're carried by the wind and fell
on numerous bu1luIngs, starting small
fires that were easily extinguished.
Frank HuntiDgton's sagebrush pile back
of his house was ignited in this manner
and endangered the dwelling but effec-
tive work saved it.-Caldwell Tribune.
The Tribune sums up the losses at
nearly $4,000.

in New York last week. Before he died
his friends asked him how he would like

to say: ''Insert me top column next to

and passed away to that bourne where

A London dispatch of the 4th says:
1t is announced from Vienna that the
Austrian Government has received an
invitation from Russia to join in pro-
posed confederation of European Gov
eminent for the suppression of revolu-
tionism. A confederation is proposed
on the same lines as that which it was
recently reported Switzerland had de-
clined Bismark's invitation to enter.
That bound the confederates to refuse
all harbor of social refugees and to sur
render suspects to complaining powers.
1t was calculated that if all the European
powers joined in such an association,
extreme forms of socialism, such as an
archisrn, would soon be crushed out by
legal prosecutions and the inability of
the revolutionists to find harbor basis
of operations. 1t is stated that Austria
will reply favorably to Russia's propo-
sition.

A san FRANCISCO AGITATOR.

One Dr.. C. c. ODonneIl, said to
be the founder of the anti Chinese
party In San Fran cisco, is about to
start eastward from that city on
a lecturing tour against menopolies
and the mongolians. He
sends ahead $50 one of them
being received by The HERALD
a circular, bearing one of his
addresses, and also the wood cut
portraits Of two men, one being
labelled "The American Type OF
Manly Courage" and the other
"The Gangrened and Leprous Tool
of Monopoly" the latter being a
most hideous picture of China
man who seems to be q mass
OF corruption from disease. The
doctors intention is to illustrate his
lecture by exhibiting two Chinese
lepers who accompany him as
"awful examples,". ODonneH claims
to be an "agitator" but is evidently
a blatherskite, who is too lazy tc
earn an honest living by the sweat
Of his brow, as does the abused
and hated Chinamsn who is
in all respects a better and noblel
man than his bawling and brawline
detractOr. If the laboring mer
would cease to contribute to the
support in idleness of such false
friends as O'Donnell, and instead O
wasting their time and substance IL

TiIden the Man.

Editors Herald:
After scanning the political field
we are forced to the conclusion that
TIlden alone can prove successful
candidate as opposed to Blaine. He
alone seems able to enthuse the
masses commensurately with his
opponent. Besides constitutional
government in he past must be
indicated by electing Tilden and
maintaining him in the position to
which the suffrages of his country
men have once before entitled him,
but from which an interruptions,
dishonest. and unprincipled party,
which happened 10 be In possession
of the government at the time. had
declared him.
Arthur's ad inistration of the
government has been SO negative
in its character as to sadly impair
the respect which all nations should
and must accord to this country.
In this one particular alone he has
shown himself unworthy Of renomi-
naIion. He has also tolerated MIS-
deeds on the part Of the agents OF
the government for the pur.
pose of gaining popularity
and winning for himself an.
other term of the presidency,
to overcome, in view { f these facts,
the favor which Blaine's intense
Americanism will be sure to arouse
in the breasts of thousands calling
themselves Democrats. it will bt
fully necessary for the Democratic
party to nominate a candidate
equally as firm in his Americanisn
as Blaine. and one who in his OWL
person while casting an inefface
able stigmaupon the Republican
arty, will rouse the enthusiasm o
all lovers Of pure government, and
by his success vindicate the princi'
pies underlying American constitu
tional liberty - Such man il

The above Is froEn the financial

FORMING CHARACTER.

There is a habit with great
number of young men of borrowing
small sums of money from their
personal friends and Immediately
forgetting that they are under any
obligation to repay the amount.
This habit can not be removed any
too soon to benefit those who lend
and those who borrow. The former
fast lose that confidence which 10 SO
necessary to friendship, while the
latter deprive themselves OF that
fundamental principle which aldseo
materially in making good name
reliability. There can be nothing
more annoying than to be continu~
ally harrassed by those who ask for
the loan Of O few dollars, and this,
too, among companions who should
vie with each other In their youthful
days in building up regulations
for promptness in the discharge
of obligations however small, for
by small things we are led to those
of greater magnitude and that
which friendship passes by as an
Oversight is after a time looked
upon as dishonesty. When once a
fair name has been tainted with
such disgrace years must elapse
before that stain can be removed.
Youngmen of this class soon find
that those who were formerly their
friends will avoid them and from
one circle to another they must go
until they find that by their own
neglect the doors Of their friends
hearts are closed against them.
Many young people ruin their lives
by such carelessness and bring dis
( grace upon themselves and their
people.
i There is still another class of
young men who would do well to
layoid the semblancs of anything
which will deiract from the good
: name which they already have. To

well known and respected. The
