A SCENE OF DEsoLATION.


After the surrender we made prepara-
ration to return to our home on Walnut
Bayou, near Vicksburg. We found
destruction from Delhi 10 Vicksburg, and
the owners scattered. Nearly every
house on Walnut Bayou had been burned,
and there was not fence rail to be seen.
/ cannot describe my emotions when
we reached what had once been our
home. Tail weeds grew in the yard, and
only the fallen brick remained to mark
the ruins. Not home of any kind was
to 90 seen-all had been destroyed. The
cavalry horses had broken down my
shrubbery, while my shade trees had
been split into ircwood. 1t was useless,
however, to cry over the destruction, and
pitching our tent in the yard we COM

the alley way beginning back of the
Palace Hotel, is kept in decent condi-
ton. All the filth from several restau-
rants is dumped there and allowed to-
remain. The odor emenating from it is
positively sickening, and it forms per-
feet depository for the breeding of sick
ness and disease. at this season of tie
year too much care cannot be taken, and
in matters Of that kind common decen-
cy and ordinary cleanliness would sug-
gest a little change from the present
condition Of affairs. That same locality
was filthy enough last year, and it is to
be hoped a change for the better will
soon be noticed.

The Rain.

The rain showers continuing inter-
mittingly for the past week have swell
ed the mountain streams to unusual
fnllness and caused not little alarm
concerning the bridges of Wood River
and the roads of Warm Springs creek.
Wood River is higher now than ever be-
fore known in the history of its settle
ment, md although no bridges have
been washed away to date, several be-
tween here and Galena are in peril. The
smelter bridge has been raised one foot
to avoid destruction and its approaches
built up correspondingly SO that travel
to the works and to the warm springs is
ne. hiaaerea. The road up Warm
Springs creek is in several places under
water and very probably set back week
or ten days in the attainment of ira
versatile condition. In other respects
tho showers have done much good.
Vegetation is fiourishing under the gen.
ial influence OF abundant irrigation and
the shade tree transplanted in the town
of ketchum are growing vigorously.

Hurry 1t up.

Judging from the number OF DRINKS
before Justice Hodson ON Sunday, the
turbulent element is commencing to
flock into Ketehum and the sooner the
new jail is started the better. If the
railroad should come here large crowd
of camp followers. roughs and loafers
will come with it and if our town is to
be invaded we need q place of security
wherein to place such fellows.
4 good chnin gang would be most
desirable acquisition and the hoodlums
and law breakers would have golden
opportunity to show their powers with
q pick and shovel. and we would be the
gamers MS our streets could then be kept
clean and free from garbage. But of
course incorporation would be required,
TO reap this and many other benefits.

THE PHILADELPHIA WORKS.
Two Fifty ton Furnaces will be. Blown
In on Monday, June I'd. The
Causes Of Delay. Accessory In
dustries.

The Philadelphia smelling works Of
this place win begin operations on Mon
day, June I'd, on which date the two
fifty-to furnaces will be fired on matte
and Elkhorn ore. There is about 900
tons Of matte and 600 tons Elkhorn ore
ready for reduction, iron and coke
aggrcgating $500 tons, and ON abundance
Of other fuel md fiuxes. Daily ship
ments are being made from the Elk
iiorn mine TO the extent Of from as to 30
tons aud large receipts will soon be
coming from various other mines await
ing the praticabiity Of transportation.
The twenty-five charcoal kilns at the
smeIters are all In full blast. the -flume,
through which lumber and fuel IL fionted
from Warm Springs creek, Is in fine
running order, and large quantities OF
timber nre received through IL daily;
while other accessory Industries con-
nected with the works are In readiness
for action
The Philadeladelphin shelters were
blown in one year ago on the 18th day
OF May, from which date they confined
In operation necessarily until Jan. Sd;
run OF almost eight months. While
there has been an unavoidable delay to
two weeks later this year, owing to tho
unusual protraction of the winter and
consequent disadvantages of late
spring, 10 IL highly probable that the
Philadelphia smelters will make better
and longer run In 1885 than than they
did In the year previous, although this
Ia saying much. The distractions to
early operations this year are apparent
to every reasonable mind, and ii is even
remarkable that the Philadelphia Co
has been fortunate enough in this case
TO have supply OF ores, fiuxes and fuels
on hand for run ut this date. The
only mine that can be reached ut pres
ent by large teams ID the EllShorn, but 1t
IL IL safe to count upon good roads and
large shipments before the present
source OF material ii exhausted or found
insufficient.
The folly OF operation in early spring
when there would be no means OF bull
lion shipment, even considering the
abundance OF ores, would appear to
everyone Just rs great as that OF idleness
when every working facility is in abund-
ance. We cannot accuse the Philadel-
phia Co Of error In any such case, and
while the disadvantages OF an early en-
terprise may now appear to them In
many ways, the period Is rapidly APP
preaching when every oxpediating facil-
ity will enable continuous uninterrupt-
ed operation in summer and winter.
Operations both mining ana mill
Ing can ha carried on IN this country
with equal economy in summer and win
tor, requiring only continuous activity
III all branches Of the industry, and es-
peeially hauling, to keep thoroughfares
and by-ways open to travel and action.
We can reasonably expect this conai-
ton Of our industrial affairs within
very few years and possibly following
the present season.

MARRIED: Mr.. Asa s. Abbott and Miss

comb; groom's-man, G.. j. Lewis. Pres
ent, u. W. Jones, Miss Mollie Griffin

Sadly we grasp the Fabre Of matrimo-

ure from the world of single blessedness,

we commend, by way Of comment, the
newly united pair TO the worlds kindest
greeting and wish them all the happi-
ness OF peaceful voyage Of life. The
world is sea of troubled waters, but a
well manned bark may be victor of the
tides.
Mr.. Abbott has been well and favor
ably known young Idahoan from our
first acquaintance with the Wood River
country; the possessor of many stirling
qualities; honesty, integrity, and be-
nevolence. Although our acquaintance
with the bride is limited, it is sufficient
to convince us that he finds in her de-
ciple OF his own heart md true and
worthy companion. Again we extoll
the Gods TO pour blessing upon them in
unceasing profusion, and our most san
guine wishes III their behalf will not re-
min ungratified.

The Idaho BankA

A writer in the Salt Lake Tribune thus
summarizes the effect OF the New York
financial furry ON the banks OF Idaho:
J. T. Morgan Il Co., Blackfoot, kept
no account with Donnell Lawson Il
Simpson, and have not lost dollar by
the New York failures. T. r. Jones, Of
HALEY, is well known to be able to take
care OF himself, and ] presume he has
lost nothing. Mccormick & Co., Belle
vue, Is owned by Mccormick & Co., OF
Salt Lake, and will Of course be taken
care OF. The First National Bank Of
Ketchnni, as shown by its report just
made, could lose its New York deposits
and remain all right, as they have just
begun business and report only 800 on
deposits. j.. T.. Morgan q Co., Ketchum,
IL owned by J.. T. Morgan L Co., Black
foot, and has lost nothing. The First
National Bank Of Idaho, Boise City. is
one Of the strongest banks in The coun-
try, and could lose its New York de-
posits and not suffer at all, and there is
at present no reason for supposing that
IT has lost anything.
These include, it Is beloved, all the
banks in southern and central Idaho; in
fact, all the banks OF Idaho, with per-
haps one or two beginning, which are to
the writer hereof unknown.
Remarks are sometimes thoughtlessly
made, sometimes carelessly reported,
which give many persons Eneasiness,
for which there is no cause and no me-
cessity.

THE PACIFIC COAST PIONEERS.
A Grand Re- Union In Ketchum.-
ceived by the Brass Band. Speech
by Genl. Geo. H. Roberts. -Int-
tiation Of New Members.

The Pioneers of the Pacific Coast re-
siding in Idaho held reunion in Ro-
chons Hall, of this place, on Monday
evening, May 25th. Word having been
sent by telephone Of the departure of
six team loads from Haley, they were met
at P. N. on the corner OF Main and Riv-
er streets and escorted thence by the
ketchum brass band to the Palace Hotel
and back TO Rochon's Hall amid music,
cheers and anvil salutations. The visi-
tors numbered about fifty, and wonld
have been over n hundred from Bellevue
and Haley but for the hindrance Of
rain. A welcome speech to the visitors
was made in the hall by Col. Dow and
The meeting was then about to dismiss,
when call was made from citizens in
the street for remarks by Genl. Roberts,
and the members came out on the bal
1 cony, where the General was very ably
introduced to the people, by Col Dow, as
q gentleman, soldier and pioneer. Genl
Roberts then delivered q fervent ex
temporaneous speech of fifteen minutes
duration that was loudly applauded and
universally pronounced an excellent
display OF intelligence, oratory and pa
triotism. We are sorry OF being unable
to reproduce it. The remarks were pre-
coded and followed by salutations and
music from the Ketchum band, which
played several choice selections. After
three cheers for. the General, three
cheers for the Pacific Pioneers and three
cheers for the Ketchum brass band, the
latter was thanked for its kind services
and the assemblage was broken.
The Pioneers we're called to order in
the hall at 8 o'clock and continued in
secret session till 10 o'clock, when re-
cess was in order and subsequently the
following Ketchumites We're initiated to
membership: j V. Easley, Jesse Hughes,

ris, " Uhl, Spencer Lee.
The meeting then adjourned. MANY Of
the Pioneers returned home next morn
ing, while Others remained through the
day to visit the smelling works and the
Guyer Hot Springs. All evidently en-
joyed the visit and reception by our
citizens, notwithstanding the disagree
ableness of the elements, and we hone
some day to welcome their return.
The Pacific Coast Pioneers is an asso-
citation Of citizens who have resided on
the Pacific slope for twenty years or

INVENTORS IN ENGLAND AND
AMERICA.
Americans have earned reputation
for the number If not for the csliber Oh
their inventions. Perhaps their success
is as much due to the prevailing DISPOSE.
tion to believe in an alleged discovery
and TO give 1t trial. In England an
inventor who proclaims his invention is
looked upon like clucking hen who has
laid her egg. Doubtless there are occa-
sions when he is over noisy and I'M
considerable. Inventors have had
more grievances and have appraised the
world of them more than any other class
Of men. Here they are regarded as
bores; in America they are entertaining,
and everybody listens to them. That is
partly why America offers better field
for the propagation Of discovery. But
