w. S. FowIes has returned from Occur
dAlene, where he went TO open bar
Der shop. He first went East and pur-
chased complete outf1t and shipped it
out via the Northern Pacific, expecting
q land office business. Mr.. Fowles has
been resident of this city for several
years, and is well known. He says that
there are many people there who are
actually suffering for want of food; that
there is nothing doing, and that all who
can will get out of the country as soon
as possible. He had to tramp sixty
miles on foot in order TO get to the rail-
road. 1t is his opinion that those who
stay away are the best off. No matter
what their present condition may be.
they stand a poor chance to better it
there.-sait Lake Tribune.

sTRANGE(D

Can it be that the editor OF the Times
is sincere In his suggestion that Dis
tvict Judge cannot legally declare open
court for injunction suits from any
county within his Jurisdiction at any
place in his DISTRICT Considering the
nexibility OF that sheet one would nat
urnlly doubt its integrity in common
place remark, but such direct bearing
upon its own editorial capacity is doubt
less the result Of an honest thought and
unconscious committai-
The KKYsToNE's reference to the de-
cision rendered by Judge Prickett in
the Elkhorn injunction suit seems to
have wounded most pitifully tho char
acteristic weakness OF our precocious
contemporary, and it DOES reflect some
what upon the swell OF bigoted brag-
gardism and the clean cut prejudice, in
which he 50 recently bounced upon the
Rlkhorn mining contest
He seeks, as lavatory to an infected
spot, to infer that we are not aware of
the damage suit now pending court in
the Elkhorn matter, we PRESUME be-
cause we have had no occasion to COM
msnt upon it beyond the suggestion
that it would, in tho case OF an impair
tial jury, be governed largely by the
testimony produced; which is now linn
tied to that which effected the decision
in the injunction case
The KEYSTONE is further charged in
his usual preapprehensive manner OF
being the property of the Elkhornl We
could have expected nothing less from
so inconsistent source, as it refuses to
be convinced that we are sole proprie-
tor and can match that sbset any day in
the production OK original testimony
and proof of proprietorship. 1t is very
EVIDENT that the KEYSTONE is less un-
der the influence or contr6il of clique
than its accuser.
No, Mr.. P, it's not gosd to ''halloo
before you're out of the woods" And
when such indecent words as RETRO
MINGEsTp are unearthed as the out
growth of your own conscience, DOM
mention it least the public eye follow,
the deep reflection it casts back upon
your own personal and public reputa
ton.
