not be we'll for this aboard of Traden
to appoint committee of three Of it's
most capable members to visit the
said locality and make a full report
as to the probability of the Boise Riv.
er becoming so obstructed that it
would back up its waters into More's
creek and thus destroy our mining in
terests and drown out Idaho CITY.
and whether it was not certain that
the dams IN SAID stream would not in
the near future cause an accumula-
ton which would come over the sum-
init and close up our only good and
feasible road to the capital city of the
Territory. The member from Last
Chance at once caught onto the idea
OF the danger his town was in, being
the lowest down on More's creek, and
moved the formation of standing
committee to be called ssThe Com
mittee on Danger Ahead" and that
this matter be at once acted upon.
and if they were satisfied that there
was the danger intimated by the
Chairman, to lose no time in remon-
strating with the authorities at Wash
Ington, and to ask the hearty cooper
alton of the "Board of Trade'' of
Owyhee county, as War Eagle Noun
tain may be in danger from the same
cause. The committee was at once
formed and given leave to withdraw
to enter at once on their duties, in
view of the imminence of the danger.
The Chairman then suggested that
there was another matter of still great
er Importance which he thought came
properly within the jurisdiction of a
'Board of Trade" Indeed it was
trade itself in one aspect of the case.
His attention had been called to the
move on the part of neighborlng
city to have a certain military force
on the very line of our communica-
ton with the outside world, increas-
ed. 1t would be seen at glance
that while this might help the trade
of Boise City, both in times of peace
and of war, it would be standing
menace to our commerce, and would
put an embargo upon both our i'm
ports and exports at the pleasure Of
an enemy. The meeting at cnce
took the alarm, and a resolution was
offered and carried at once to refer
the matter to the committee on ''Dan-
gers Ahead" +" with instructions to lose
no time in forwarding remonstrance
to the proper authorities at Washing
ington against measure fraught with
so much danger.
1t was now evident that feeling
of security had settled down upon the
"Board of Trade,' and they were
called off for refreshments and toast:
were in order.
The toast, 'sEvery dog for his owr
bone," drew down the assembled
Board, and was again and again res
ponded to and cheered, and 1t was ev
ident that all thought the mover OF i
had made lucky hit.
At this point the Secretary wished
to know if it would be in keeping
with the sentiment of that toast Il
send off for the little matters that h'
might need in his office, and whethe
, he should publish the proceedings o
the Board in the city paper, where
upon 1t was talked up that wha
could be published gratuitously a
home should be considered "bone,
} and go to some home cur. If 1t ha'
} meat upon it he should send it abroa'
| to be cleaned-it was not "bone.
