A CORRESPONDENT of the Blackfoot
Register SAYS the failure" of Ross
Cartee, banker of Shoshoue, can hard
" be called failure-was a deliber-
ate sssteal." The correspondent says
sthere was no call for failure. No
one was asking him for dollar, and
the deposits did not amount to over
twelve or thirteen thousand dollars.
Everybody seemed to be satisfied with
him, and after he had left the town
with a grip-sack full of depositor's
money, parties were at the bank to
make further deposits. Among the
depositors were hard working mer
who are and have been working fol
s1.S1t cents per day, and had few
dollars laid up. One poor woman hae
been washing all summer for the la
borers at the new shops, had 5000 de
posted, and this went to wash dow
his meals with costly champagne.
The correspondent owns to have ''ha'
some of his big dollars in the girl
that went to Haley, and to payin:
for some of his champagne suppers
diamond rings, gold watch, eye-glass
es and rattan cane that the dude bank
err sported on in the great minin!
, camp on the Wood River" The let
: ter comes out with pretty plain Ian
, guage. Whether it is true or falls
we can't say. We know that tn
bank failed, and that is all. If tn
< failure was unavoidable the youn
i: man should arise to explain and clea
himself of the charges of theft.

There is prescription in use in
England for the cure of drunkenness,
by which thousands are said to have
been enabled to recover themselves.
The recipe came into notoriety by the
efforts of Mr.. John Vine Hall, COM
mander of the Great Eastern steam
ship. He had fallen into such habit
ual drunkenness that bis most earnest
efforts to reclaim himself proved I'M
availing. At length he sought the
advice of an eminent physician, which
he followed faithfully for severa
months, and at the end of that tim'
he had lost all desire for liquor, al
though he had been for many year
led captive by most debasing appe
tite. The recipe, which he afterward
1 published, and by which so man
drunkards have been assisted to re
form, is as follows: Sulphate of irol
20 grains; magnesia, 40 grains; pep
!, permint, Il drachms; spirits of mt
meg, t drachms; dose, one tablespoon
full twice day.

The Tunnel.

The Hoage Pass tunnel, on the
Oregon Short Line, was completed
some time ago, and is now ready for
traffic. 1t is fine piece Of construct
ion and engineering that was begun
in May of last year, to cut a way
through the coal measures of the
Uintah range, which has been tempo
rarily crossed by a zig-zag line
with very heavy grades. The length
of the tunnel is 1872 feet, and every
foot was timbered and framed with
California red wood. Clay, coal ant
stone and water were encountered il
the passage through the range, and t.
carry off the water the tunnel wa
built on slight upward grade to tn
center, of four inches in one hundre
feet. Work in the water was diff
cult, and the men excavating beyon
the s'headingn were paid eight dollar
per day to retain them. Electri
Hight from plant just outside til
mouth of the tunnel supplies light Il
night and day shift of miner
: Eight stratas of coal were cut throug
the thickness measuring at the botto
of the tunnel twenty-four feet

Hon. E. A. CALLAwAY, in letter
in the Caldwell Tribune, favors the
erection of a monument at Boise to
the memory Of Hon. E. D. Holbrook,
who worked so well and accomplished
so much for the benefit of Idaho years
ago, while her delegate in Congress.
Holbrook, we think, was the most en-
ergetic, talented and able of any who
have doomed up in the history of Ida
no. He served two terms in Congress
and when first elected was in his TWEEN
ties. He was a citizen of this place
and was killed here about twelve
wears ago by man named Douglas
Mr.. Galloway winds up by saying:
at has often been proposed to mi
by citizens of Boise City, that we tn
pioneers of Idaho, raise money b.
voluntary contributions to erect
BETTING monument at the capital o
the Territory to the memory of L. l.
Holbrook. He has been her trues
friend, her most faithful servant, an
the most chivalrous champion of he
rights, and as our Territory is fas
growing into importance it is not rigf
that we should lose sight of thos
who have done and dared so much fc
her. We hope that the press of Bots
City will take up the refrain and ne'
er cease until committee is appoln
ed, money raised and monument
erected on the public square of Bois

the people (who loved him and love
to honor him) by the hand of an a

Exciting Result OF n Discussion
About Dogs.

a crowd on a corner the ether day
urned a conversation from the tariff
and possible Presidential candidates
to discussion of dog poisoning, when
one Of them incidentally remarked
that it is invariably the good dog that
gets the poison. ''Now," he continu-
ed, eff so-and-so's dog, and all that
breed, were sent to the other shore, 1T
would be no loss. In fact j. would
be good thing, for they are town
nuisance, and n. G. on general prin-
ciples." His remarks were in a sort
of jocose manner, and from the tone
of his voice and general manner OF
delivery only slight traces OF chlorides
of ssdead earnest were discoyerable.
Mr.. so-and-so was present. He took
it as a kind of slight slur on his dog,
but was not much mad, and he indulg-
ed in little repartee, sort OF good
naturally, replying: "There may be
better dogs in the world than my dog,
but he has a good many good points
about him. And if put under oath
I'd swear, SO help me Moses. that he
has more good traits than you, ano
knows about ten times as much.

remarked that comparisons of TIN
kind were odious, and as he revolye'
