kept with sufficient regularity to ad-
init OF comparisons between this year
and last. But since the advent OF
Station Agent Beamar, and operator
+. 7. Collins, everything in and about
the Office has, as everybody knows,
run with the regularity Of clockwork.
On the 23d of May of this year, the
telegraph line was extended to Ketch-
um and an Office opened there. This,
OF course, cut off a great deal of bust.
ness from the HALEY office. But,
notwithstanding this cutting off, the
receipts are increasing quite rapidly.
When the gentlemen named assumed
charge, the receipts did not exceed
Sl2o per month Gncluding the Ketch.
UNI business); now they exceed 5000
per month for Haley alone-an in.
crease of over 100 per cent! This
gratifying result is of course due to
the very excellent service which the
gentlemen named, and Master Hobart
Beamar, the heet-footed, polite and
intelligent little messenger, have been
and are rendering to the people of
Haley.
The above showing is, as stated at
the outset, as favorable as it is sur
prising, as it shows that the business
OF HALEY and tributary camps must
have nearly doubled since last year!

Butte Mon Daily Miner.l
Butte has had quite enough of tho
cheap builder and contractor. 1t
wants no more of him, as lie is fraud
and delusion. The man who bids
to erect a building at less than the
cost of the materials used in its con.
struction, not counting the labor or
allowing himself profit, is fool or
knave. In either event, disaster
is sure to overtake him. The outcome
will be the same-some one will be
robbed, inferior and dangerous work
will be done and delays, causing much
expense and annoyance, are sure to
follow.
In Butte it had become so that an
honest, square contractor could not
secure job. A lot of wolves had
gained foothold in the business and
took work at any price. With small
jobs they could keep themselves aAoat
one paying the expenses of the other
and fair line Of credit bridging
over the chasm. The moment they
took large contracts, however, like
the Hyde building and the Sands &
Boyce improvements, the steady strain
became too heavy and the chasm be.
tween an honest building and dis.
honest bid could not be bridged. Then
came what all honest and experienced
builders had predicted would ensue-
the contractors collected what money
they could, abandoned the work and
fled to parts unknown, leaving their
bondsmcn, their mechanics and labor
ers and others who had trusted them,
in the lurch.
The disappearance Of three or four
OF this class OF contractors has worked
great hardships on many deserving
mechanics and laborers and upon their
families. Brickmen, limeburners and
Others who trusted them with material
are also losers. Indeed, they have
left a wide swath of sadder but wiser
men in their wake. The price paid
for the experience is not too high,
however, if the community will only
profit by it. The man who offers to
do job for rs per cent less than it
is worth means to rob somebody, or
else he will use "brcks without straw"
and generally do inferior work. Such
man is not cheap at any price, and
men who contemplate making im.
provements and dealers in supplies
should steer clear of him. Guerilas
like this in the business should not
be encouraged. Butte has no use for
Buddensicks.
Honest work is entitled to honest
compensation. The man who pays
for his help, pays his just bills and
does honest work according to con-
tract, is a man to be encouraged.
He is the man for the mechanic and
the laboring man; equally so for the
man who builds. Such man is a
benefit to the community and entitled
to preference in the awarding Of con-
tracts. Out on the frauds!
The above applies as we'll to Haley
as to Butte. There is happy mean
in this business, beyond which injus-
tice and fraud must prevail, The
best way is to cndeavor to get good
work done at living rates.

HAlLEY'S BUSINESS.
IL HAS BEEN MUCH prAy,rp
THIS YEAR THAN LAST.

~T"psrA'''e Statement Based Upon the
railway COmpany's Accounts Mora
freight Shipped and Received at Hal.
ley IMAM Before Ketchum Became the
terminal Point-A Slight Faliing.ofr
:" 'ne passenger, but Large Increase
In the Telegraph Business.
While most of the residents of Hal.
icy have supposed that the
falling off in business here since
tue railway was completed to Ket-
chum has been very great, the books
OF the railway station agent show
that there not only has not been anv
falling off, but that there has actually
been an increase! Surprising as this
may appear, it is nevertheless true.
and the only damage done by the
railway extensiou-if any-has been
in depriving US of portion of the
increased business which we might
have expected if Haley had remained
the terminus.
The comparative statements of
business transacted monthly at the
HALEY depot are prepared with great
care as they are the only means that
the railway managers have of ascert.
aiming their profits or losses. They are
OF course accurate. These statements
show that the receipts of s'in' freight
at Haley this year are but slightly
less than they were last year. Here
are the figures for the past three
months, also those for the CORRESPOND.
ing months last year-in tons.
., 1884 1885
WAY '..'.. .07U 6SO
June ................. 300 60
July.... go. ...110O 100
These three months are a fair indi-
cation for the whole year. 1t will be
observed that in July the receipts
were exactly the same, in May there
was an increase of so tons over last
year, while in June there was falling
off OF over 200 tons. This falling off is
only apparent, and not real, owing to
the fact that, last year, all-or nearly
all-the grain and hay consumed here
was brought in by rail, while this year
much Of it was raised on Wood River
or Camas Prairie, and brought in by
teams. Next year the proportion in
favor of home producers will be
greater than this year, and much
larger quantity of feed will be
brought in by teams.
The forwarded or "out" freight
shows notable increase. The road
was opened to Ketchum on the 23d Of
August, 1884. Up to that time every
pound of freight of every description
for the upper country was of course
received here. The bullion and ore
from ketchum and the upper country
were also shipped from this point.
Since the date stated, however, all
ores and bullion from Ketchum and
points above have been shipped from
ketchum. Notwithstanding this trade
was cut off from Haley, the compar-
alive statements referred to show a
gradual increase of "out' freight from
HALEY over the same months last
year, when ketchum was included.
Here are the fgures--in tons:
1854 1885
May go. .534 $50
.June r6O -93
Wood River times. [volume] (Hailey, Idaho) 1882-1915, 1885-08-29

The slight falling off in July is read
lily accounted for by the fact that the
Bullion Ophir group then ceased ship
ping-not because of the exhaustion
of the ore reserves, but evidently be
cause of some mysterious process
probably of "freezing- t''-going on.
This falling off is, however, more than
compensated by the increased produc
ton Of the Smoky, Gold Belt, Deer
Creek and Bullion districts, so that
the shipments for August will un-
doubtedly show an excess over those
for the same month last year, while
for September the increase will be
very notable.
The passenger traffic, though not
quite up t, what it was last year, is
also quite encouraging, the falling off
being very slight. During the months
of May, June and July, 1884, the cash
receipts for passage at the Haley
depot Including passengers from Ket-
chum and the upper country aver
aged *1l5 per day; during the cores
ponding months Of 1885 the daily
cash receipts from the same source
(Ketchum and points above being OF
course excluded) have averaged SlO5.
This branch of traffic is also improv-
ing at such rate that it is evident
that, in another month or so it will be
fully up to what it was last year; aud
from that time on it will probably III
crease.

partment have not heretofore been

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.--Joseph p.
Miller, commissioner. of internal rev.
enue, has made preliminary report
on the condition OF the internalreve-
nuo service. The report says the total
collections for the fiscal year amount
ing to Sll2,4iO,lll have been properly
accounted for and tho money conveyed
into the treasury OF the United States.
The cost OF collecting the internal rev.
enuo for the fiscal year ended June 80,
1885, was about Si,4S0,000, being 80 per
cent,oi tho amount collected and $780,
900 less than the cost for the year 1884.
This reduction, as shown by him, was
chief In salaries, In expenses of col
lectors, agents and subordinate off
GERS SiS5000, and stamps and papers
100000. The reduction results from
the consolidation OF the 1876 districts
into SO and from the reduction In mum
Dor and In some instances in the rate
OF pay OF storokoopeTs and gaugors
growing out of the reduced number of
distilleries in operation, etc. Gratifl-
cation IL expressed a. the efficiency of
tho service and its freedom from
fraud.
The commissioner estimates that
the total receipts from all sources of
internal revenue for tho fiscal wear
will ho Rbtut 10000 00.
