Ii any have had doubts as to why
Stewart, of Nevada, is working 50
hard to annex northern Idaho TO
Washington, they need have them no
longer after reading the following.
1t is from the minority report in the
senate on the division of Idaho and
shows that they understand Stewards
scheme thoroughly:
The last legislature of Nevada,
1867, passed the following act to
wit: "The consent of State of Ne
vada is hereby given to annexation to
this State Of any part of the territory
OF the United States which congress
may deem proper, upon such terms as
congress shall prescribe" The act is
indexed, ''to add the south part Of
Idaho territory to the state of Nevada. "
1t is we'll and fully understood both
in Nevada and Idaho that the annex
alton OF north Idaho to Washington
means the annexation Of south Idaho
to Nevada, and the obliteration of
Idaho. The people of south Idaho
are as much interested in the fate OF
north Idaho as north Idaho itself.
If the north section should be cut
off, which polled 1916 votes at last
election, and has not less than 1000
voters now, which contains nearly
25,O00 square miles, an area equal to
that OF New Hampshire, Vermont,
Rhode Island and Deleware combined,
and the finest agricultural land in
Idaho, and the most prosperous min
ing camp on the Pacific coast (the
CGur d'Alene) and the assessable
property of which is over $1,000, 900,
south Idoho will be paralyzed. With
about one-fourth of her population
and wealth ruthlessly taken away,
she will readily fall into the pit dug
for her by her ambitious neighbors.
From what your committee learn and
believe, the annexation of north Ida
no means the destruction of sub
division on the Pacific coast. With
the chance for statehood so long de-
ferred, the south will press her dis
tribution among her neighbors-
Idaho has grown steadily, is in a
splendid condition to-day and will
soon be ready for statehood, if lei
alone. The Territories of Dakota
Montana and Washington alone ex-
eel her,"

70 place before its readers the very
latest facts in regard to the prea,
kootenai mining district; obtained
from Mr.. 0. Hall, one of the luckv
men and prospec.or of many years
experience in the gold and silver
mines OF Nevada, California and An-
zoha' who was met on the train
thursday while on bis return to tha.
wonderfully rich region to the north
OF us. Although it is quite early.
prospectors and mining men are
crowding into the district; 20 to rs
every day leaving Koo.enai station
lor that section, and "always more to
follow" if conveyances could be had.
and as Harry Baldwin and other mar.
ties talk of putting on a stage line
from Sand Point to Bonner's Ferry
there will soon be ample accommo.
dation for all who desire to visit the
greatest discovery of the century.
The Kootenai Bonanza is a big
property. The vein is 500 feet wide
and the groupings have assayed from
2o to 6OO and even 700 ounces in sill
yer per ton. This vein can be traced
at irregular intervals on the surface
for distance of 5000 feet, the crop
pings being solid and we'll defined.
Ihls property is owned by Hall and
Oakes. Two tons of ore which was
started out on a boat last fall and
sunk in the river, will average 500
ounces in silver and very high in cop
per, though no tests have been made
for the latter mineral.
The lroquois vein is Is feet wide
and test after test showed mineral to
the value of 700 ounces per ton.
The American Flag has an eight
foot vein which carries 500 ounces in
silver per ton. The groupings have
been traced 500 feet on the surface.
Yet the great lead of that region
is the Silver King, which shows a
solid vein 81 feet wide between well
defined walls, and has been traced
l,20O feet on the surface. One test
shows the remarkable assay of s91,-
900 in gold and $4,000 in silver per
ton, the largest assay ever reported.
The rush to the kootenai country
has already commenced and many
are stopping off at Sand Point and
Quitting there for the gold fields,
for at that place there are two general
merchandise stores and ample hotel
The wonderful richness of the
kootenai district is the topic OF con-
versation at Spokane Falls, Ceur
d'Alene and other towns in the north
west, and there seems to be general
agreement to visit that locality and
see the sights, each for himself

ing the term OF murder and man
slaughter, and quoting the statutes,
the Judge said: "As to whether this
is wlllful, deliberate and premeditat-
ed killing or not, l am not required
to say. This is to be left to the trial

say there is sufficient cause to be-
lieve the defendant guilty of murder.

Our city was quite lively yesterday,
and wagons and buggies from outlying

generally is the case, even on Monday.
IT is reported that gentleman resid-
ing on the Bench has just accepted a
somewhat stiff sum for an acre and q
halt OF land, which twelve months ago
he declared he could not sell at any
price.
ALTHOUGH the building trades are
brisk and agricultural pursuits RAPIDLY
opening out, there are quite number
of stalwart youths to bs seen on the
streets, apparently unable to find en-
ployment.
THERE is an amusing little bon mot
just now waltZing around Ogden to the
effect that Observation-Disclosures Smith
was requested to resign from the City
Brass Band because his height and
rotundity were such that no tailor
could be found to supply new uni
form at the stipulated price.
'Tates, 'tates potatoes are still rolling
in and out of Ogden, and every Irish
man you see on toe street seems 10 have
a "buttermilk and pratee'' expression
about his mouth which causes one in
voluntarily to explain by jabers, his
mouth is wather:ng to reduce a few
bushels of the Irish fruit to smithe-
reeDs."

catello yesterday, for treatment at the

under whose medical skill he will doubt
less find speedy relief, and will live to
give specimens of his ability as cor
netist again.
