The merchants of the prairie are
taking advantage of the fine weather
and dry roads to stock up their stores
with full lines of merchandise, and a
large number of freight teams are kept
busily engaged.
Last Saturday was busy day in this
burg, owing to the presence of large
humber of farmers coming in for the
first time SINCE the harvest season be-
gan. The situation was also intensified
by the excitement of the democratic
primaries.
The Weiser Leader says that party
of u. p. engineers were surveying line
up the Weiser river, starting from the
location of the depot on the o. S. L.
The Loader concludes that o. S. l.. will
be continued on to Lewiston Uid the
route being surveyed.
A party of strangers brought in very
fine pair of elk antlers last week which
they secured in the Umbrella butte
Roberts, who will have them fixed up
walls of his old ancestral cabin.
The railroad survey is now at the
summit of the Bitter Root range run
ming down one of the branches of the
middle fork of Clearwater. 1t is hardly
likely that the survey will be finished
this year, owing to the unbroken forest
along the streams where the route will
run, but we can easily afford to possess
our souls in patience if the report made
by Mr.. Clark is favorable, because a
practicable route is equivalent to a
speedy construction of the railroad.
Last week was great day for house
moving in Mt. Idaho. The premises
vacated by the Schubert family were
occupied before sundown by the Davis
family; friend Deacy moved his family
INTO the house vacated by Davis; Mr..
Wilson now occupies the old Deacy
dwelling, where he will reside until his
new Grangeville residence is completed,
and finally, Geo. Shearer moved into his
own mansion formerly occupied by the
+. Wilson family.

they formerly were in Nevada in the old
bonanza days. During the year ending
June 30th the sheriff of Alturas county.

in addition to $4,083 commission on
licenses. The district attorney for the

$4,000 during his term of office and q

Mr.. Large has two derricks now run
ming on the Slippy bar and has the claim
in shape to work it to the best advan-
tage. The claim is running day and
night under hydraulic head of thou
sand inches of water tearing away at a
forty foot gravel bank carrying gold
from the grass roots down. Three shifts
of men working four hours on and eight
off are steadily employed. This is the
greatest mining enterprise ever under.
taken in Idaho county, and gives en-
ployment to more labor than any other
one thing. Along after the election we
will write up the history ofthis under
taking and the difficulties which have
been overcome in placing it upon its
present dividend paying basis.

get up a jubilee thanksgiving festival.
In comparing this glorious prairie of
ours with other sections we feel that
the Lord has been liberal and even
generous in bestowing upon this favored
land his choicest blessings of delightful
climate and fruitful soil, and in the pos
session of these we are blessed beyond
all other lands. Therefore with devout
hearts and cheerful thanksgiving let us
give thanks for the manifold mercies
vouchsafed us, and at the close of the
harvest season rejoice that the fruitful
earth has again yielded from her boun-
tiful bosom an abundant harvest TO en-
rich the husbandman.

ANNExATIoN.-The republican county

session in Lewiston last week, and
notwithstanding the personal presence
Of Bro. Leland, they voted town all
annexation proposition with a unanmity
that is little less than miraculous in the
face of the assertions of its advocates
that the people unanimously desires it.
A great deal of earnestness and sincerity
has been injected into this. crazy scheme
from time to time, but it has been kept
alive mainly by political chicanery and
the bull-dozing tactics Of it's promoters
We knew the people of Lewiston and
Nez Perce county better than they
knew themselves last spring when we
stated to angry mobs who would scarcely
give us a hearing that the people had
changed their views on this subject
since the enactment of puritanIcal
legislation by the Legislature of WASH
ington territory. Time has demonstra.
ted the correctness of our position, and
although from time to time it may be
galvanised into life by a few fanatical
adherents for political purposes it never
will again attain its former prominence.

HYMN OF THE RESURRECTION.

Translated from the Sy,iac Of Ephrem, ocho died
372 4. d.
When softly shall breathe DER the bones of
the just
That mornings bles't air they shall gather
and come,
Stand up q vast army, revived from the
dust
At the trump Of the Lord, who has riveu
the tomb.
In that day, when the just from their graves
shall wake,
New heaven and new earth shall in bright
ness appear;
The children of men shall their reckoning
make.
And bride-chamber children rejoicing be
there.
AS stars in bis kingdom forever shall shine;
United with angels, the perfect on high,
Their songs with his trumpet IN triumph
combine
st deaths overthrow-for deaths selfshall
die.
The rising of just ones now full manifest,
Evil men aud deceivers come forth to theii
The scorned Of their loftiness live with the
Their portion fires torment; night endless
their home.
TO Paradise's portals the righteous draw
near:
Sslf-tarning, wide open its golden gate
swings,
The Chernb who guards, bends low to them
there:
With harp of sweet voice their glad vel
come ne sings.
The Bridegroom to meet them appeareth re-
vealed
Forth coming from orient chamber with
JOY;
He gives to them wings-froin his wings they
are healed.
They fy through the air on his blessed
employ.
Come. enter my kingdom, We children Of
light!
So Jesus will cry to His loved in that hour:
Receive the reward. and the crown CT your
right,
Ye heirs everlasting Of glory and power!"
Both inst and unjust shall pass through the
fame
Their trial and proof in that terrible day;
The righteous endure, for the fire shall be
tame;
But the wicked it burneth and snatcheth
away.
Solitary is Eades-a desolate land
It's graves are Enclosed and its prisons are
bare.
The children of Adam are 'scaped from
deaths hand;
Where the Lord is-his ransomed forever
are there!

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

From a letter published in the Alb
beville Press and Banner, written by
Mr. Geo. C. Hodges, School Commis
sioner IF that County we clip the fol-
lowing, which viii be interesting to
our School Trustees and all others
having an interest in the prosperity of
the free common schools.
The law requires the trustees to
meet as early as practicable in the
year, in order to locate the schools
and elect teachers. This ought to be
done before the 1st of February of
each year, so that by that time all the
schools of the district shall have been
established and all the teachers en-
ployed. No school ought to be open
ed after the first week in February
unless under peculiar circumstances.
The apportionment of the school fund
to the several school districts IS made
on the 1st of February, or as soon
thereafter as practicable. Unless the
trustees fix some limit to the time dur
ing which they will contract with
teachers ofpublic schools, they cannot
know the number of teachers nor their
grade in time to ascertain, with the
accuracy that the subject demands the
length of the school term for their
district. The trustees, therefore, are
urged to ascertain as soon as the ap-
portionment is made the length of the
term for their district and report the
same to all the teachers and to the
School Commissioner. The school
term of each school Of the same dis
trict, for the time it is operated as
public free school, should be the
same.
There has been great defect in
the administration of the school law
in respect to the location Of schools
are located too near each other. This
| distribution of the forces and efforts
Of community, as well as the distri-
button of the public fund has had the
effect of shortening the school term,
and depriving such unfortunate com
mun;ties of the influences and advan-
tages OF one good, well paid. we'll
equipped and well sustained school,
recommend to the trustees the sen
timent OF a distinguished commander,
who, when asked the secret of his
success, promptly replied, 81 concentrate
my forces"
In some places, On the osher hand,
the schools are too far apart. The
effect has been, probably, more dis.
astrous than in cases where the schools
are too near each other. It has les
