IF North Idaho ever becomes connected
with State it will be cas-, to secure an
appropriation to clean out the North and
South Forks of the CGur d Alene river,
the St. Joseph and the St. Mary rivers,
and give us some Of the finest water high
ways for small craft in the Union. The
North Fork, along its entire length, ira

Give us statehood and sufficient influence
in congress to make our demands known
and We will prosper even beyond present
expectation. As part of weak territory
we will crawl along like snail, and beg

Opinion at Washington City.

A gentleman, formerly Of this city
who is now scjourniug in Washington
city for time, writes to an acquaintance
here under date Jan. 20, as follows:
"There is considerable talk here in the
east about Washington becoming a state.
If you want to be part Of the Union,
you must be annexed as soon as possible.
To be left is to be unknown for twenty
years to come. To be annexed is to be-
.ome at once ono Of the foremost states
Of tho Union"
We are free to admit that the writer
has the pith Of the matter, as it is
viewed At Washington city and we trust
that senators aud members of the House
will show some consideration for the
wishes Of the people Of North idaho, as
often expressed to congress, and not
leave Us to the tender mercies Of our
enemies in South Idaho, under the lead
Of Gov. Stevenson.

l am for Equal Rights for Men and

Lewiston, Idaho, Feb. 8, 1883.
Mn. EDITOR live in North Idaho
l know the people generally hereabout'
don't believe in equal rights for men ant
women. l will illustrate my own view.
in this matter, by little incident tina,
come under my personal observation
with a brood of hens aud rooster
The owner had determined to so mark
them that they could be easily dis,in.
guished from those Of the neishbors.
So it was determined that their tails
should bo clipped of their feathers. So
all the hens had their tail feathers cut
off and when they came to the rooster
they determined to allow his to remain
long. He vas proud and frequently
perched upon the fence aud would crow
Justify, but the moment hen few upon
the fence, she could not stay still long
enough to crow, not being well balanced
fore and aft would be compelled to quick.
ly fly down again giving her no chance
to crow. 1t occurred to me that the hens
were restricted in their rights, because
when they wanted to crow they could
not, because they were not privileged to
wear their tail feathers. Now | think
if hen wants to crow, whether or not
it belongs to her nature, she should have
the privilege. Probably most really
good hens had much rather b. building
their nests and laying eggs and setting on
them and breeding their chickens, than
growing. But if one should happen to
desire to crow, why should she not have
an equal privilege with the rooster? We
all know that growing hen is not Of
much use for anything else. 1t is mu:h
the same thing with the women. Those
who want to vote and hold Office, would
never be fit for much else. But then
they should not be prevented, else they
might cackle and crow both, and keep
the human barn yard in continuous
uproar from daylight till dark.

The Occur d 'Alene Sun makes the follow
ing very truthful sug. estious:
Money is not invited or encouraged; it is

The average legislator knows no more about
revenue legislation than Patagenian does

than the theory Of prohibtory taxation.

millions upon millions, but not dollar of

enrich her and the people unless the laws
are changed.
1t is the same with our wheat product.
1t is controlled by parties living outside of
the territory. With wheat lands that pro-
duce millions Of bushels ann ually, and

1fthe anti-anuexation feeling 10 North
Idaho is so strong, why did not the
counties Of Shoshone, Kootenai and Nez
Perce send their committee men to Boise
and speak for themselves, instead of ap.
pointing Boise proxies? Was it not be
cause the trip from North Idaho to the
capital could either not be made or was
too long and expensive? What a fine
argument the anti annexationists have
when they cannot meet their fellow
sympathisers on such important quest .ous
as to call Central Committees together in
the dead Of winter for mutual admira-

P.B. Whitman, Esq, Le,oiston, Idaho
My DEAR SIR
l enclose you lette,
from the Indian Office which will explain
itself, and l would suggest that you keep
the number so as to enable you to
promptly identify it at any time you may
desire to know of its status.
When was in Nez Perez and Idaho
County l expressed a willingness and a
desire to help all claimants in those couu
ties in prosecuting their claims, and iudi-
Gated to number Of them, and the lead
ing citizens, the manner in which to pro-
coed in order to bring their claims pro-
perly to the attention of the officials here.
You are the only one who has acted on
my suggestion, and the only one in either
county that now has claim properly
fled. If you will be kind enough to
have the enclosed letter published 1t may
be Of advantage to other c!aiments. My
wish was, after having had a number of
claims filed, to get the Department to
send out Special Agent to take testi.
meny so that the Indian Department
could make recommendation to Congress
upon which Congress would act. l still
think that, with proper and intelligent
action on the part Of the claimants, they
can recover all money to which they are
Justly entitled.
Yours Truly,
FRED. Il. DUBOIS.

ing items:
1t isn't going to be an acceptable thing
to the people OF the Northwest-the
agreement Of the two great railroads,
"lor one to rob north of Snake river and
the other TO rob south of it," says the
Oregonian. OF course it isn't, but the
railroads will simply ask, ''What are you
going to do about III" as heretofore, and
that settles it until the next complaint is
made, when the question is repeated.
Congressional dealing with the terri
tories on basis of honesty and fairnes,
is no longer thing that can be hoped,
says the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Well,
then, the sooner all the territories are I'D
mitted the better tor the credit of the
United States and the safety of her insti
tutions.
The Atlanta Constitution suggests that
the experiment of prohibition be tried in
the District OF Columbia. This is on the
principle Of "tryius it first on the dog. "
1.-THE average member Of the circus can
be kept sober during one session that
paper thinks that it will then be time
enough to introduce the issue into nation
al politics.
When asked recently why he had IN.
troduced no bills in the House of Repre-
sentatives, Congressman Russell. of Mass
achusetts, with high appreciation of the
countty's needs, said: "Becausc I think
the principal duty Of legislator is not to
introduce bills, but to prevent them from
becoming laws. There are too many bills
introduced anyway, and the man who
refraius, renders service to the country.
Well said, my boy; here's the belt.

JohnsM Burke, Of Wardner, sends
the acknowledgement from Wardner to
Geo. AinslieS at Boise City:
Wardner, Idahe, Jan. 23rd.
Hon. Geo. Ainslie, Chairman Democratic
Territorial Central Committee.
Your letter advising me of meeting
Of Central Committee was received too
late for me to reach the capital 10 time.
Shoshone and Kootcnai are solid against
division Of any kind. All democrats
will abide by and heartily endorse what
ever action may be taken by the COM
mittee. JOHN NJ. BURKE.
This Burke was member of the last
Idaho legislature and during the time he
met with encouragement from democrats
at Boise City, that they would support
him for the next democratic delegate,
from Idaho, ii he would change the sen.
tiuent Of the people Of Shoshone county
against annexation. He is reported to
have been making strenueons efforts to
fulfil his part Of the contract, during the
year past, and from his telegram one
would infer that he thought he had done
SO. But We received the signatures Of
a large number Of the principal citizens
Of his own town of Wardner, to petitions
for annexation to Washington, also from
Murray, Kingston and other towns of
Shoshone county, amounting to several
hundred, and also affidavits to the
genuine character of those signatures and
have forwarded them to Washington
city. From these we infer that his
telegram is a lie Or that he has been
greatly deceived in his estimate Of the
sentiment Of the people of that county,
on the question Of annexation. We
don't believe he will get the nomination
for delegate on tho fullillment Of that
bargain made. II he should happen to
stumble into nomination, he will be
likely to be heavily showed under by the
blizzard OF an election iu the North.
Our Northern people don't propose to
reward traitors, ifthey find them out to
be such. 1t is claimed that Burke is a
citizen of South Idaho aud has been for
= long time; that he owns three ranches
there and over five hundred head of
cattle, while he has nothing but an
interest in few mines in the Northern
that his family has recently
come to Spokane Falls to live so that he
IAN claim a residence there in case an
,exation takes place in defiance Of his,
md the opposition of the Soath. He
is looking out for chances for
.olitical promotion. If he fails in Idaho
|e can -cIsim some cohs.ue f.ssHa ff5!n
be state or territory of Washington in
he future. We suppose if the South ,
hould 90 to Nevada he would claim and ,
fhcial position there. There is nothing ,
