MINERS, READ THIS!

The TIMES, however devoted it
may be to strictly local affairs, is not
forgetful or unappreciative of the
fact that the real progress, wealth and
prosperity of the Wood River country
depends upon the outcome of the
mines. Without them, practically the
mountain section of Idaho would be
Of little value, and soon without a
thrifty village or a corporal's guard
OF active, plucky, busy men and
women. The spring Is rapidly crowd
ing upon us. Energy, activity and
work will be the watchword of the
Fastening season. They will be the
magic "open sesame" Of the imme-
diate future. The more men and
women here, the more work, the more
progress, the more wealth and COM
fort. To induce men to come to our
mountain land, they must know what
there is here to induce them and re-
pay the cost and trouble of travel
They want to know the truth. No
humbug or exaggeration, but facts.
The TIMES will, as early as the snow
permits, send an experienced CORE
spondent, one who has passed years
in the mining camps of Colorado,
Arizona, New and Old Mexico,
throughout the camps of our section.
He will be instructed to tell what
he sees, aud only what he sees. Now,
the MEN already in the mountains,
delving amid the rocks and ores, can
do much to aid in this good work
They know what they have around
them. There is no mystery, no Sc
cret in the lavish scattering Of wealth
by dame nature; there is no good pol
icy in hiding the facts. The TINES,
therefore, asks every miner in the
Wood River country to send state
ments of the mines about him-the
best route, the distance, character Of
ore, elevation of lode, conveniences
OF wood, water and grass, and a truth
full state@ent of every surrounding
that will enable the stranger and i'm
migrant to know whittier he is about
to come, and what ke will find when
he gets here.
The TIMES will gladly publish these
letters (if of reasonable length and
clearness) and do all 1t can, by its
large and scattered circulation. to lay
bsfore the public the true features
aud resources of all kinds that are
met with in our new and growing
section.

fDAHO'S OPPORTUNITY.

1t is commonly supposed that a
railroad war which brings about
''cuts" is disastrous to the railroads
directly, and indirectly to the coun.
tries along their lines. This is a mis-.
take. The "cut"i in rates between the
East and the Coast, if it continues
will benefit the railroads and bring
more people to Idaho and Oregon,
during the coming 10 months than
have come into either during any two
consecutive years in their history,
This statement is substantiated by
history, for many trans Mississippi
Substantially Nebraska-in their
younger days,received more immigra.
ton in single season than the total
present population of Idaho or Ore
gon. With men comes money; with
money appear farms, cities, mines,
mills, manufactures, and schools,
Upon the track of these rise churches,
society and statehood.
"Cuts" pay railroads, and they
know it. They afford opportunities for
the migration of thousands, who would
otherwise remain in thickly settled
localities, and the settlement and
development of great territories,
whose business interests and necessi-
ties will be given to the railroads
over which, at first, they, as semi
grants" rode. 1t is evident that a
bright day is dawning for this mighty
Slope section.
Let the people prepare for the
exodus from the crowded East, for
surely the valleys of this Territory,
and the mineral hills that guard them,
will soon gather their portion of the
advancing hosts.

ALASKA's ATTRACTIONS.

The THERMOMETERS During Last Year Went No
Lower than Four Degrees Above Zero.
WASHINGTON, Dec L-Goyernor Swneford.
of Alaska, in his annual report to the Secretary
of the Interior. estimates the white population
of the Territory at 3 $50. and the native popula-
tion at 81, ,000 OF the native Alaskans he says
that they are very superior race, intellectually,
as compared with the people generally known as
North American Indians, and are, as rule, in
dustrious and provident, and wholly self-sustain-
ing They live in neat, comfortable homes of
their own construction. They are shrewd and
natural born traders. Some are passab.y gooG
carpenters, and others are skillful workers in
woods and metals. Not few among them speak
English, and some of the younger men and
women have learned to read and write, and
nearly all are anxious for the education of their
children.
The Governor comments upon what ne terms
the widespread but erroneous belief that Alaska
is region of perpetual winter, and appends
meteorological summary for the year, which
shows that the coolest weather occurred on Jan.
s. when the mercury sank to degrees above
zero, where it remained for half day only. The
industries of Alaska says the report, are, yet,
principally confined to the fur trade, mining and
the curing and canning of fish, of which there
are about sixty food varieties, the cod, salmon
and halibut being the most important AS to the
coG banks, he says that market is all that is
quirsI to make them source Of even greater
activity than was ever known on those of New
foundland. AS to the salmon, he says they are
as plentiful as the cod, and keep in operation

the report says, may be approximately stated at

all of which is controlled by the Alaska Com

that the officers of the United States steamer
Pinta, stationed at Sitka. have not afforded him
courtesies that United States official should
have received at their hands. and TO this lack OF
official harmony and assistance he attributes the
punishment of the offenders in the Chinese
outrages in that Territory, last summer, and the
failure to bring back the Chinese who were sent
to Wrangel Land.
Though the law prohibits the importation of
spirituous liquors into Alaska, the law. the Gov

THE PRICE OF COAL.
Denial of the RumOrs that the Railways and
the Operators Intend to Form Pool.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-Charles r. Abbott, the
Chicago agent of the Columbus & Hooking Val
ley Coal and Iron Company, said to reporter,
last night, that the statement in the New York
dispatch of yesterday, that a combination had
been formed between the four great coal-carry-
ing railroads and the Hooking operators to re-
strict the output and advance the price of soft
coal, had not vestige of truth in it. The coal
owners Of Ohio had certainly formed pool, but
it did not in any way take in the railway COM
panies. The price Of Hooking coal at the mine
would be advanced 20 cents on Dec. /. which
would make it So 20 a ton, or just double the
cost of mining. The object of the operators in
making the advance was simply to get little
more than cost for their COAL
A special dispatch from Pittsburg, on the
same subject. says "The statement to the eff
feet that there is to be an immediate advance of
from % to 30 per cent. in bituminous coal is de-
MED by all the prominent operators in western
Pennsylvania and Oha. W. B. Brooks, one Of
the heaviest operators in the Hooking valley,
said there was no truth in the story. They had
been trying for some time to raise the prices
from 10 to l2a cents per ton, but had failed A
pool to advance rates was impossible in the pres
ent condition of trade"
President N. G. Cricket of the Fort Pitt Coal
Company, said: There is not one word of truth
in the report, SO far as any advance in the price
of soft coal is concerned. If any one wants to
anticipate the rise | can find him all the coal he
wants at the old figures" A number of other
operators expressed the same views.

No Restraint Upon the Saloons-Organizis<
to Secure Better Observance ofthe Day.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Dec. IA good deal of talk
has been brought about here upon the subject
of Sunday law by the action of citizens in la
dianapolis and in sections OF Iowa, TO have Sun
day observance. Five years ago the front Doors

were sold here, to all classes and ages, wera

no observance whatever OF the holy day.
change in the superintendency of the police aad
one or two other officers of the District, whose
duty it is to execute the laws, brought about a
rigid enforcement of the authority vested in
them. A system of spies was naugurated
among the police by which means all who sold
liquor on Sunday were detected. convicted aud
punished. This was followed up by strict at
tention to the Sunday law by the police magis-
trates Beside administering the most severe
punishment, Judge Smell spoke his mind upoG
every occasion possible. to the end that there
should be some regard paid to the moral atmos-
phere of the community. The result was LIQUORS

Sunday morning sentinel was posted who re-
fused admission to all persons who We're not
known to be loyal to the keeper OF the
place. This practice continued, and was
scrupulousiy and carefully followed to its
minutest detail, until about six months ago.
when affairs began to grow lax. Then number
of the sentinels were removed, and in portions
of the city people began to enter through the
front door, and to purchase what they wanted IL
the regular way instead of being served at ta
bles in the dinngroom, where all used to go.
Since the confusion among the police, the pre-
caution of the saloon-keepers have been dropped
and the voices of boisterous crowds can be heard
in the barrooms on Sunday the same as on week
days.
A committee of one hundred is being talked of
by the Christian people of Washington. the oh
ject being to enforce the Sunday law and to try
to make the morals of the national Capital equal
to those of places of less pretensions. The fact
that Washington contains more intelligence,
more refinement and education, and more wealth
than any city of its size in the country, is point
ed TO in illustration of the shame upon our peo-
pie in ton with the fact that there is such
little regard for the Sabbath.
