Mormons Will vote" The Mormons
declare that under the present teach
;ngs of the Mormon Church they can
take the test oath. We all under
stand the ''teachings" of the Mormon
Church hierarchy, both past and
present. 1t is this: The Mormon
Church is above this government, and
when the Church and laws clash, 1t is
the duty of all the faithful to uphold
the church for the glory OF God' and
to tramp on the laws, Any CRIME
against this government or its laws Is
virtue, when the plan is to clear the
way for Mormon sway. has the
church given up polygamy: Not
much. Under what teachings OF the
church can they take the test oa'n
which disfranchises polygamistS' al
who encourage polygomy, and al
who belong to an organization tha
teaches or practices polygamy
Mormons can vote, without commit
ting perjury, when the church an,
polygamy are completely divorced
and not before. "The present teach
ings of the church" is some sly dodg'
concocted by the rulers of the poo
Mormon dupes, to evade punishment
Their teachings are the same as tue
have always been, and their "presen
teacbiugsn are instructions to tn
herd as to the methods to be en-
ployed to beat the law Verify tn
Mormon leaders are foxy fellows.

ED. WORLD: Since the organiza-
l'oh OF our County Board Of Trade a
ooom'ng mania seems to have taken
strong hold upon the residents Of
this city. We are determined from
now henceforth to proclaim to the
outer world the beauties of our eli
mate, productions of our soil, and the
wealth OF our timber, mineral and po-
'ato belts. Circulars, maps and PAM
Phlets will be scattered broadcast
throughout the land, giving full and
truthful description Of the many ad-
vantages to be gained by coming
here to build up home. Emigrants
from the blizzard States will be re-
ce'ved with open arms, especially the
girl emigrants. Farms under high
state OF cultivation will be furnished
free to all men coming here with
their families. A two-fold advantage
is to be gained by owning one of
these valuable farms. After harvest,
II desirable, few sluice boxes can
be set with very little labor, and a
half acre or so piped off to the depth
OF foot or more, and snug clean
up will be the result. The object in
Offering these beautiful farms free is
to convince parties coming here Of
the fact that we don't countenance
brokers, middlemen, or land sharks,
the robbers of honest emigrants in all
new farming localities. John Lemp
our Vanderbilt, with long purse and
ready cash, will begin the construc-
ton of large irrigating ditch imme-
diately. This ditch will convey the
waters of Granite and Wolf creeks to
an immense tract of agricultural land
lying between the junction of Gran
ite and Crimes creek, and extending
as far west as Sing Sing Bar. The
Boise County Incorporated Lumber
Company will have their magnificent
saw mill completed early enough tc
supply necessary lumber to Bedrock
Flume Company. A number of othe
enterprises are in various stages o
development here.
A committee of three of our lead
ing citizens we're appointed to visl

of Board of Trade there on matter
pertaining to the welfare OF bot

The Boise City Democrat has
brought out US Attorney Jas. Fl.
Hawley as a Democratic candidate
for Delegate in Congress. Jim would
probably make as good a run as any
Democrat that could be brought out,
on account of the stand he has taken
on the Mormon question, but his
chances for winning the race will be
very slim if our present Delegate is
re-nominated, and he will be, and
without opposition, if be expresses a
willingness to accept. Dubois has
made a record that will be so much
in his favor that he need not give
himself any uneasiness about his op-
position on the Democratic side. Mr.
Dubois has won the respect, good
will and esteem of great majority
of the people of Idaho for the good
work be has done, and he will be re.
turned, without doubt.

The question of the reclamation OF
desert lands in the West, by means
of irrigation, Is becoming more and
more discussed, and 1t is a theme on
which there is diversity of opinion
as to whether the general government
should extend its aid, and if so, in
what manner. 1t will be, we think,
a difficult matter to induce Congress
to make an appropriation for storage
reservolrt, etc, at least for many
wears to come, for the reason that
there are already several other pro-
posed important public improvements
that will take precedence-such as
Improvement of rivers and harbors,
coast defences, public buildings aud
works of various kinds-and push the
irrigation question to the rear, The
surplus has caused the consideration
and discussion of many means for its
reduction, by providing for public
improvements of various kinds, among
which is that of government aid IN
the reclamation of what is known IN
the west as desert land-land that
without irrigation is what the name
implies, and grows only sageorush
which hourishes on the dry desert
but cannot stand irrigation. Natei
kills it, We think it would be al
easier matter to get grants OF land Oh
condition of reclamation by irrigation
than to secure appropriations TO
a storage reservoirs, etc. Either woui'

WHATS the matter with the Boise

itself into Board of Trade, after
wrestling for weeks, or months, with
questions of moment, and of heavy
weight, and pursuing them through

on all their phases and bearings on
the general prosperity of the nation.
When the Boise County Board of
Trade got fairly down to business,
the Boise City Board suddenly be-
came silent, and it is said that the
proceedings of the Boise County
Board struck it with such powerful
potency as to utterly destroy its at
traction of cohesion and 1t fell to

speaking, losing their attachment fol
