SHINGLES.


The custom house reports show that
161 ,653, 900 feet Of lumber was ex-
ported during 1885, and many mil.
lions more were shipped by vessels
that did not report-they having
through clearances. There appears
no doubt but that more lumber was
shipped during 1885, than was manu-
featured, and was owing to the very
large amount that was held over dur
ing the winter of 1SS4-5, being much
larger than is on the mill wharfs this
winter. The amount of lumber on
hand is estimated as follows:

The CAMPAIGN.-This issue of the
PRESS closes the campaign so far as we
are concerned, and nobody is more glad
OF it than the editor. We had hoped
to steer the paper clear of all political
controversy, but our position on the
est-oath question has been SO misre-
presented to Hailey's disadvantage that
we could not in justice to honest John
keep silence, and once enlisted we never
stop to count the dead. AS for Dubois
we would not support him for any Office
under any circumstances. We know
the man and his methods. The repub-
lican papers of the territory know his
record to be as we have exhibited it.
but in order to maintain their prestige
as party organs they have endeavored
to cover up the sins Of their candidate
by assailing prominent democrats. The
campaign has been conducted on the
basis of fraudulent issues and false
pretenses. When the republican press
ceases to become the apologist for politi-
cal crime, and refuses to act according
to the dictates of an unreasoning parti-
san prejudice, then we can look for and
expect to find true political honesty
In this campaign the sole aim of the
republican organs was to shield Dubois
from the exposure and condemnation of
his guilty acts. We need more sunlight
and less whitewash in territorial poll
tics. Less covering up of political
crimes and more searching after and
casting out corruption wherever found.
Dubois career in Oneida and Bingham
counties has been nothing but a grab
game-a grab for Office. To do this he
has robbed the altar of liberty of its
fires, and traded the torch of its eternal
flame for the brief glory of campaign

REPUBLICANS ATTENTIoN.-Man re-
publicans suppose that the editor of this
paper is fighting the principles of the
republican party in opposing Dubois.
This is not 80. We have simply fought
the man. and not the party, because
we know him to be a drunkard, a
chronic office-seeker and ballot-box
stufer, and therefore totally unfit to be
representative of the republican party.
Dubois was not the choice of the repub-
lican party and he only secured the
nomination by resorting to the tricker-
les of low down politics. The editor of
this paper was republican for ten
years, and would probably have been
one to-day but for the fact that the
party organization in this territory
became corrupted by imported poIiti-
clans like Dubois, Singiser, Pride and
Gov. Bum. We value the elective
franchise too highly TO abuse it by
voting to perpetuate the power of the
unscrupulous politicians who have
captured the republican party of Idaho.
We said early in the campaign that the
men best fitted to represent the princi-
Piles of republicanism-me like l.. p.
Brown, Col. Shoup, Judge Buck or John
S. Gray had been shelved 10 make room
for gang of imported politicians. The
principles of the republican party are
good and are entitled TO and command
respect, but in Idaho it has fallen into
the hands of bad and INSCRIPTIONS men
who have no respect for principles
further than they can be used to adj
vance their personal ends. When
honest men control the republican party
of Idaho then we will be glad to give
them fair and equal show, but we are
down on men like Dubois, be they
democrats or republicans.

Hailey's Land Record.

The following associated press dis
patch was published in the Salt Lake
Tribune last June, and shows just where
honest John HALEY stands on the land
question.
Sparks undoubtedly considers him.
self big gun. but he is no better at
close range than a western six-shooter.
This was forcibly and beautifully illus
trated few days ago. An Idaho man
whose business had been ruined by the
enforcement of Sparks timber mon.
strosity went to Washington to obtain
II possible some relief from the land
Office tyranny. Delegate HALEY, of
that territory, gave him letter of in
PRODUCTION to Sparks, and the Idaho
man, full of hope, went to the interior
department to present it, Imagine his
surprise when the land Office commits
sloner utterly refused audience, and in
rage dismissed him, while declaiming
violently about public swindlers, timber
thieves and republican corruption. The
Idaho man returned to Mr.. HALEY and
told the story of his reception. The
delegate listened and grew indignant.
then he fixed himself with a SIX
shooter, locked arms with his friend,
went to the land Office and surprised
the commissioner by boldly appearing
before him. MIR. Sparks said the
delegate, pointing to his friend, this
gentleman is resident of my territory,
leading citizen and an honest man.
You have insuted him and me by re-
fusing to hear his grievance. which is a
serious one, involving his whole fortune
and indirectly the prosperity of Idaho.
| now propose that he shall be heard.
With these brief Introductory remarks
Mr.. HALEY calmly drew forth a six
shooter, laid il on the table within easy
reach, and told his friend to explain the
situation in Idaho. Mr.. Sparks, it is
needless to add, was delighted to meet
Mr.. Hailey's friend. as he would have
been before had he known that he was
recommended by the distinguished
gentleman from Idaho. 1t afforded
Mr.. Sparks unqualified pleasure to dis
cuss public affairs with citizens of the.
republic and he was particularly inter-.
ested in the great work of promoting
the growth and development of the
western territories, work to which he
had eonsecrated his life, his fortune and
his sacred honor. Mr.. HALEY and his
friend stayed and talked as long as thew
desired, and, taking the gun with them,
retired overwhelmed with Mr.. Sparks
agitated assurances of personal esteem
and fully satisfied as to the outcome of
the very pleasant interview"

He had evidently been dead for some

seems to have been no apparent cause
