Wonderful and Mysterious Idaho.

The lost rivers of this county are
two of the most singular features in
the scenery of the territory of Idaho
the occurrence of dark, rocky
chasms, in which large streams and
creeks disappear, and are never
more seen. These assures are old
lava channels, produced by the
outside Of the molten mass cooling
and forming a tube, which, on the
firery stream becoming exhausted,
has been left empty, while the roof
of the lava duet, having at some
point fallen in, presents there an
opening into which the river
plunges and is lost. At one place
along the banks of the Snake, one
of these rivers reappears gushing
from cleft high up in the basaltic
walls, where it leaps cataract in
to the torrents below. Where this
stream has it's origin, or at what
point it is swallowed up, is utterly
unknown, though it is believed that
its sources are long way up in the
north country. -Challi sMessenger.

The Committee in charge of the
celebration at this place report this
morning that everything points to
successful patriotic gathering next
Wednesday. Everything has been
done to accommodate a large crowd
and now all that is lacking is-the

A mammoth pavilion is being

afford ample room for thousands to
attend the exercises.
The preparations for the barbecue
are we'll under way. Two young
oxen, three sheep and five hundred
loaves of bread will appease the
appetites of the patriotic. DR.. Cal
laway's reputation as a chef de
cui inc IS at stake on chem steers,
which is sufficient guarantee that
the barbecue will be a success.
For those that indulge in tripping

tons are elaborate for both day eve
ming.
And now to all those who who
desire to attend a lively celebration
in wide-awake town that never
takes a back seat for any of them
come to Caldwell. Her people are

Here Is Second Now Make II Unani-
nous.

The Caldwell Tribune names JuS
Boyakin as Democratic candidate
for Delegate in Congress, and calls
for a second to its nomination
Well, here it is We second it, al
though we are not on that side of
the fence. He has worked harder,
and more faithfully and unflinch-
ingly for great many years, for the
Democracy of Idaho, than any
Democrat that could be named, and
is entitled to the distinction of being
its standard bearer. The chances
are that Jud will have boom and
leave Hawley and Burke in the
rear.-ldaho City World.
This is encouraging; but the
World is slightly mistaken as to
Jud being named as Democratic
candidate. The Tribune, an indie
pendent paper, names Jud Boyakin
for Congress as progressive
ldahoan and newspaper man. In
these troublous times none but
newspaper men should be put on
guard. If the Democratic conven.
ton ratifies the nomination so much
for its good sense.
