Terrible Accident at Il Ferry.

The Thompson Falls ferry broke its
cable on the Sth inst. An eve witness,
Thos Donan, says he was present watch
ing the ferry boat cross the C!arke's Fork
of the Columbia at Thompson Falls, which
was loaded with eleven men, who were
going into the mines, and thirteen pack
animals, each packedwith some 900 pounds
Of supplies for Eagle City and Murray.
When in the middle of the awful current
the wire rope gave way and the boat with
its living freight ru>fed down the mad
rapids and over the falls, some three
hundred yards below. When the pas
sengers found themselves at the mercy of
the pillows they cast themselves from the
boat into the waves and tried to save their
lives in that way. Only two of the whole
number are known TO have been saved, and
these STAYED with the boat, climbing up on
the out-riggers when the boat swamped and
went over the falls all right and were res
cued when the boat struck the Belknap
bridge. Two brave, daring boys, rushed
for skiff and started out into the mad
waves to help, but were swamped and
drowned. These are in addition to those
lost from the boat.

HOME PATRONAGE.
10 the Editor of the Dillon TRIBUNE:

| 10 the Editor of the Dillon TKIBUNE:
1t is only fair that both sides of ques
lion should be heard, and hence | woult
like to briefly discuss the advice given u
two weeks ago in your columns, by H. r
w. The advice I refer to was that this
community "patronize home industries
nome merchants, and home mechanics
The gratuitous information furnished b,
Your correspondent that "homc patronage
would tend to build up the community il
a business point OF view, not only by in
creasing the merchants prosperity, bu1
also by enhancing the value OF the con
sumers' property sounds very plausible
but when viewed from a practical stand
point its fallacv is at once clearly seen
For, may not the conditions BE- such, in a
community, that one class will thrive a,
! the expense Of another, by taking advant-
age OF its position and thus controlling the
market? Such conditions not only may,
| but actually do occur and, in so far as this
is the case in Dillon, its inhabitants are JUS.
tilted III sending East tor their supplies; :; for,
purchasing his goods in Chicago and pay
ing their freight here, surely the merchants
Of Dillon, with the discounts they receive
on their purchases at wholesale and the
reduced freight rates given them by the
railroads, can afford to sell those goods
cheaper than they do. l have been in
formed upon good authority that the rates
upon freight have been greatly reduced in
the last year (am1unting in some cases to
almost one-half) and yet our merchants
have not cut down, pToportionately, the
prices Of their goods. Now, under the old
system of treights, merchants were eithe,
losing money, or else they are making
greatly increased profits at the present time.
AS the former is not likely, may safely
assume the latter to be true. If ! merchant
here in town could get Butte firm to erect
his storehouse cheaper than home mechan-
les would do it, how long do you suppose
he would hesitate before giving the con-
tract to the cheape, firm? No longer. /
think, than lie would hesitate before hiring
the cheaper of two men (both Dillon work
men) TO saw his fire-wood. The fact is
our merchants must content themselves
with reasonable profits just the same as our
mechanics must content themselves with
reasonable wages. If they would do this
you would not hear OF persons sending to
Chicago or New York for supplies.
Not long ago l know Of butter being
refused BY three merchants in Dillon
because the market was overstocked. OIL
course this was not Their fault; but when
farmers and dairymen can find no sale for
their produce at home, are they not justified
in buying in the cheapest market?
That home patronage tends to build up
is true, provided that no class
in that community take undue advantage
of another class, and each works for the
benefit of all. But where this is
not done people are right in protecting
in selling in the dearest market
and buying in the cheapest. B. L. S.

Hon. Thos. A. Hendricks in an inter-
view concerning Tilden's letter Of declin-
alton, said the news was not surprise to
him, for when he visited Tilden in August
last that gentleman very firmly announced
his intention to remain permanently out OF
politics. Another visit in April last found
Mr.. Iildcn of the same opinion. Hendricks
thought that there xgs little doubt that the
old ticket would have been unanimously
nominated bv the Chicago convention If It
had not been for the declination. He said
the demand for it among Democrats was
almost universal and greater than any
movement of the kind ever seen in politics.
Personally he felt no disappointment. He
did not want the office Of Vice President
eight years ago and did not want it now.
Ii the old ticket had remained in the field
he should have considered his election to
that place great honor conferred ~ the
people.

Snake River Placers.

All the placer ground along Snake river
is being rapidly taken up. For years more
or less mining has been done along the
bars Of this stream, but the gold being rusty
and very fine, old machinery proved inad.

successfully worked. Now, however, i'm.
prc ed machinery has been brought to
bear. and with them MANY companies have
averaged IN ounce per dav to the man.
Last wear work upon this stream was con-
siderably increased, and all engaged there
on have donewell. The new processes have
been found to pay even better than was
anticipated, and already this season larger
number ot claims have been located and
are being worked than ever before.
