FROM Pine GROVE


Pine Grove is in q prosperous
state; continuous building going on
of business and dwelling houses.
The new postotiice building is al
most completed, which win be
neat structure as well as convent
ent where located. Several other
buildings under construction are
about ready to be occupied. Not
much excitement, but the people
move steadily on with firmness and
confidence. The mines are all look
ing we'll and promise fair to make
one Of the best mining camps in the
country at no distant day.
SociS! gatherings here are fire.
quent, in which all take active part
in most agreeable manner. The
ball on the night Of August Sd was
a decided success, over $50 persons
being in attendance. Pine Grove
can't be beat for a large gathering
on short notice.
Mrs. Kate Madden of Butte City,
Montana, has taken charge of the
new Andreas Hotel. She is thor

The development work on the
Victory mice, as we'll as that Of the
Franklin, shows that each are ca
pable Of supporting good big mill
and should have one.
The Pine Grove Co.'S mill will
again soon be running. About 30
men are working in this companies
mines, and on large bodies Of good
pay ore, which is very encouraging
to them as we'll as to all interested
in the camp.
Several Of the claims on the East
side of the Boise river, on which
considerable work has been done
are looking wonderfully we'll.
George Winder recently had sew
eral tons of ore milled by the free
process, at Bonaparte, out of the
Mountain View claim, resulting il
gold $40 per ton, the rock carrying
lots of sulphurets and it also being
very rich in gold.
The Teacup mine, owned by J
B. Kincaid, ]. D. Gray and William
Gibbons, will undoubtedly prove t
be a bonanza to its owners. A tun
mel of 60 feet has been run on tn
vein on a large body of ore, 10 inche
being very rich, out of which grea
results are expected as soon as tn
ore can be millcd. A 2O-staml
mill here could be kept busy con
tinuously on custom ore, which.i
very much needed and would en-
able the prospectors to open up ant
develope their claims, and Civ
them chance to open up mines b,
which they could realize fortunes.
The tramway Of the Franklin
mine will soon be completed 60
feet long, after which ore will b

The demand fox soft coal seems I'M
abated although several cars have been
received since our last issue. McFar-
lane, Dickey X Co., received car load
Saturday night at o'clock, but knowl-
edge OF its ownership was withheld I'M
til a late hour in hopes that those par
tally supplied would return home
rather than await in uncertainty as to
its disposal. This expectation was in
a measure fulfilled, bat When at > o o'clock
sunday morning the car was unlocked
there were 4 great many present to
claim share. The car contained
twenty tons and We are informed by
the firm that lOt Conveyances were
weighed over their scales: so that there
was less than 900 pounds each. Several
parties secured only what amounted TO
the value of - cents when weighed out,
Others of course getting the lions share.
On Monday while the teams were
swarming about car the train came
down the track. and one teamster re-
fused to remove from his advantageous
position until his sled was broken by
the engine. The NOrth-WeStern COM
pany sent seven cars Of its own coal
down this branch on Sunday, though
but one car was left when the train ar.
rived here. There has as yet been no
suffering, bat no one has been able to
secure more than a temporary supply.

Travelling men HIIUrin as that there
is no scarcity at points on the main
lines but that the branches alone are
left in the cold. 1t is difficult to sscer-
tain wherein lie error lies. Dealers
here are paying considerable higher
price than they did several months ago,
and perhaps the output has been con-
tracted for that purpose, but however
that may be there is now Just cause for
complaint that the supply is so made

Mn. !. ;. GARRISON is making argu
ments for the introduction of new ma
terial in the republican platform for
1888, with more especial reference to
plank for protection Of American indus
tries. The party has been from its
birth the champion of protection rs in
opposition to the free trade policy of
the now dominant party. The issue has
been forced into greater prominence by
tho presidents message and the quick
response OF Nr Elaine. Tie president
has antagomizel every interest and
every industry in tha Union that is de-
barred from close competition with pau
per labor OF the Old countries by the eX-
isting tariff. lie has also discouraged
experiments and tAe further building
up Of industries. The republican party
is recognized as the champion Of indus
trial interests and its continued sup
port should be prominent IN the deClara-
ton of principles. New England may
have become go Independent as to ig-
more the issue, but it would yet be
suicidal for am s,r,i2r Of our country
to build upon the hope that it could
live within itself The interests OF all
sections of the United States are in
protection and are identical. The
south thai is made new by the intro
! duction Of northern capital and manu-
{ featuring interests lives only in the
hope or pratn.t!"n for infant indus
tries. The policy is not new, bat the
. fact that these interests are threatened
! by the policy of the democratic party
! demand that the republican party re-
! new its allegiance. Mr. GARRISON very
wisely argues fox more practical poll
! tics. The democrats won in ~ by as
far ~ possible losing sight Of its cid
hobbies and nominating { representa-
tive of the new democracy. Young
men regard the situation from bust
ness dp0int a fact especially true
in New York and the eastern states. In
thus Incorporating into the platform
business issues there wouId be no for
fixture or REIMBURSEMENT of the old is
sues, for they are considered settled by
all factions and parties. The situation
Oh that point could not lie more con
cisely expressed than in the Iowa plat.
form Of 1887 With that rs basis
| build up a platform Oh business and
moral issues of today. and while loyal to
the old, il will attract thousands of
young voters who have sought else
where in vain.

The Shippers Conference.


Three hundred business men, repre-

OF Iowa, met at Des Nioines yesterday
10 discuss measures for securing better
rates from common carriers. Their de-
libsrationS were controlled by conssry-
alive and determined though not radi
cal spirit. kilograms were sent to the
Iowa congressman and the iute r-State
commerce commission protesting
against the abolition of the car load
rate, as is proposed by eastern mer-
chants. At an evening SESSION Of the
shipper, many bills to DO recommended
to the legislators were considered, but
the one introduced by Cummins, of
Polk was finally agreed upon. 1t pro-
vides that the railroad commissioners
shall DC empowered 10 Ok all rates Of

Obituary.

Annie Louise (Sumner) AIRY, wife of
sylvester AIRY, of Audubon, who died
the 18TH insy, was born in Milford
Mass, April 10Th, 1858, being the young,
est Of four children OF Mr.. and Mrs. \,
NJ. Sumner, who are at present resi-.
dents of Audubon. The next younger
Of the four is Mrs. G. +. Kibby of Audit
bon, then Mrs. Geo. T. Hastings. at
present Of Arcadia, Nebr. and Mr.. c.
A Sumner, of Milford, Mass.
Mrs, AIRY was educated in the public
schools of her natiTe town, graduating
from the high school in June, 1876, and
at the time of her death member OF
the Graduates Association, of that
school. In November 1876, with her
parents she moved to Davenport, Iowa.
and soon after entered the Sisters
school there to complete her education
remaining here about year; she later
attended the training school in same
city to TT her for teacher. In April
1881, her parents removing TO Audubon,
she came with them and soon after was
engaged in teaching both at Gray and
in Audubon, for several terms. On
Thanksgiving evening, Nov. 2sth, 1888,
quiet little wedding made her the
wife of one well known in this place,
Mr.. Sylvester AIRY, who with his two,
now motherless children, is left to
mourn her loss. OF a naturally pleas.
ant and genial disposition, her welcome
smile and kindly greeting made for her
large number Of firm friends, who
will miss her in the social circle in
which she moved until recently stricken
by that dreaded disease, quick consump-
ton. Pr
The funeral was held at the Presby-
terrain church on Sunday, the 22nd, inst,
and was attended by very large con-
course Of sympathizing friends. Rev.
Dickinson delivered sermon full Of
consolation tn the bereavcd relatives.

Republican Clubs in Iowa.

1t is gratifying to learn that Republi.
cans, in several of the cities and towns
in Iowa, are engaged in organizing clubs
and making ready to join the National
League Of clubs. 1t is especially desir
able that there should be uniformity of
organization and action in employing
this more active agency for the good of
the party. The national headquarters
of the League is now prepared to sup
ply form for the constitution of local
clubs, and any republican i'll Iowa,
wishing to organize club and wanting
formula, can secure copy by ad-
dressing either Robert Fullerton or j.
5. Clarkson, Des Moines. 1t is hoped
by those who have charge of the detail
of this work in Iowa, that fifty or more
clubs will organize in the next few days
80 that state convention to organize
state Leagues may be called to meet
sometime the last OF next month. The
republicans Of Minnesota in the past
week have met with 25O delegates, rep
resenting sixty clubs, and organized a
state League, and created great deal
of energy and enthusiasm by doing so.
Let us do equally well in Iowa. These
clubs are organized purely for the party
good. and are prohibited by the consti-
tuition that they accept from declaring
for any man for any Office in advance
of the party nomination. SO that they
are for the general good Of the party
alone. The cities and larger towns Of
the state should lead off in the work Of
organization, to the end that they may
have representation i'll the state conven-
ton 10 be held next month.-Register.

Gov. LARRABEE'S attitude toward
the railways has been very widely dis
cussed, and has been found an inter
esting subject in other states. Crit
eisms have generally been favorable,
with no more exceptions than would
perhaps, be taken to any similar declar-
alton. His policies as q senator and as
A governor have been compared and it
is shown that in the former capacity he
was avowedly friend OF the railroads.
This dual character, as it has been
called, has been the subject OF some
harsh criticism. We cannot see that
Inconsistency marks Mr.. Larrabee's
