Gentlemen of the Board of Trade of
Boise county:
Your committee on changers
ahead have been particularly vigi-
liant of late in watching the debris
question. They beg to report that
they lately discovered what at first
was cause of great alarm, to-
wit: An old Chinaman was found
rocking on a small rivulet emptying
into More creek. 1t was feared some
portion of his .tailings might ultimate
ly reach Boise river and cause an
obstruction in said river so as to food
Boise town, or be carried down to
the carp camps thereof; and your
committee at once demonstrated with
the Mongolian, to which he simply
made reply: "Me no sabe Mclean
man talkee." We compelled him to
construct dam below his works
and felled several trees across More
creek, and apprlsed the B. of 7. OF
Boise City of the impending danger
so they might telegraph to Wash
ington at once.

"A NINE not twenty miles from this
town is owned and worked bv com
pination OF youth and age, and the
young fellows have been in the habit
Oh running to town every few days to
see their best girls, and to devise
some means to make the labor bear
equally on all shoulders, the wisdom
OF age was brought to the front and
proved equal to the task. Age
reasoned that nature was nature, and
that the boys would continue to come
70 town once in while, or oftener,
to see if they still held first place in
the genial, bright, warm sunshine of
the affections of the enticing ones
who convert the desert waste of life
into elysian fields of fragrant flowers,
and to take items and find if there is
a shadow of possibility of some 9TH
er fellow getting in between them
and the objects of their alteration
and thereby cause an eclipse, and
shut off the sunshine that has been
flooding their inner beings with glow
ing effulgence. Age made out the
terms of an agreement to be entered
into by all concerned, which the
youthful portion of the working force
could not refuse to subscribe to.
They are working in terrifcally tough
rock, and use great amount of pow
der, and the road not being open,
have to have considerable quantities
of it, as we'll as other supplies, pack
ed up from town. The agreement
was that every fellow who came to
town must return with thirty pounds
of powder or other supplies. The
supplies for sometime have been re-
plenished at rapid rate, and one
or two Of the boys are already hump
backed, like unto a camel. The old
fellows up there are rejoicing muchly
over the success of the scheme.

A VOICE FROM WILLOW CREEE
WILLOW CREEK, Boise Co., I. T.,
April l, 1888.
To the President and mamhars of tho

-
10 the President and members of the
Board of Trade Of Boise county:
Gentlemen:-It is with feelings of
surprise, not entirely unmixed with
indignation, that we have observed
in your enumeration Of places deserv-
ing of consideration and fostering
care at the hands Of your honorable
body-that you have left the once, if
not now, flourishing district of Willow
creek entirely out in the cold. This,
it seems to US, savors somewhat of
ingratitude, as Willow creek has,
from first to last, contributed not q
little towards the general wealth and
prosperity of Boise county. But we
are willing to believe that this has
proceeded from sheer inadvertence,
and not from any intentional neglect;
and we shall be still more willing to
accept the "amende honorable if
your honorable body will pass an ap-
preparation to have the hill between
Slaughter House gulch and the first
or East Fork of Willow creek leveled
off. When circumstances most posi-
lively not under our control, and not
in the least necessary to mention,
render foot travelling up said hill
wandering, devious and uncertain,
not to say slightly wobbling, your
honorable body can form no appre-
ciative idea of the difficulties we labor
under, and which the leveling off OF
said bill would tend greatly to modi-
fly. In addition to this we have OBJ
served that, every spring, when the
snow begins to melt, it has tendency
to wash out the ruts in the road
down the steep declivity of said hill.

amount sometimes as much as sever
or eight wheelbarrow loads) of SAND
down into Slaughter House gulch
This must, of necessity, flow into
Elk creek, from Elk creek into More
creek, and from More creek into
BOISE RIVER, endangering the
great and fruitful Boise valley
While we do not care snap of oul
laborious fingers whether the village
of Boise is swamped or not, we would
be sorry to see the farmers and frui
growers of Boise valley put to any
inconvenience. From very careful
and elaborate calculation we have ar
rived at the inevitable conclusion tina
in ninety-seuen million, sir hundred
thousand, four hundred and t,oenty
nine years, some parts of Boise valley
would be covered with debris to tn,
stupendous depth of THREE SIX

trust that your honorable body vii
see the importance of taking the fore
going into your serious consideration
at your very next meeting. THERE

Winter.

Winter.
Winter, with its usual gloom, has cast its
shadows over all nature, and as conse-
quence, the ventilation necessary to render
all apartments pure ard healthful, has of
course been neglected. The class that suf-
fer most inconyeniences from the gloom of
the Winter months, is the housekeepers.
They cannot sun and air their bedding as
they desire; and all recognize the fact that
feather beds need ventilation worse than
anything else IN the household. As relief
in this direction, Messrs. Outlaw & Vaughan
offer thei services as feather Renovaters
They propose to purify, and at the same
time enliven your feathers, thereby render
ing them more -healthful and more satisfac-
tory in their wear So, consult your inter
ests, and when Outlaw & Vaughn's repre-
sentatives call on you, send your beds aloLg
and have them cleaned at a very-reasona-
BILE cost.

INFANTILE
SKIN DISEASES.

Our oldest child, now six years of age, when
an infant six months old was attacked with a
aviralent, malignant skin disease. All ord-
nary remedies failing, we called our family
physician, who attempted to cure it, but it
spread with almost sncredible rapidity, until
the lower portian Of the little fellows person,
from the middle of his back down to his knees,
was one solid rash, ugly, painful, blotehed and
malicious. We had no rest at night, no peace
by day. Finally, we were advised to try the
CUT1ouRA REMEDIES, The effect was simply
marvellous. In three or four weeks a complete
cure was wrought, leaving the little fellows
person as white and healthy as if he had never
remedirs saved his life, and to day he rs a
strong, healthy child, no repetition Of the dis
ease having ever occurred.
