Peace padding in a shoal OF summer sea-
Peace at high revel up an apple tree;
Peace, reading with bent and dreamy brow;
Peace, on a footstool-very peaceful now
Listening with hands clasped fondly on my kneel
No abstract noun no mythic shape divine,
No sweet elusive dream Of who knows what,
But Just a child she brings my heart surcease

Bliss and complete contcntment with my lot

Tue year 1887 has indeed been a
prosperous one for the city of Salmon,
During that year the city has grown
faster than it ever has in any two or
three years in its history. The city's
progress has been rapid. Public i'm
provements on a large scale have
been inaugurated, the wholesale
business has been established, and in
fact score of things have been ac-
complished which have combined to
make business good in Salmon City
during the past year. All our mer-
chants unite in pronouncing their
trade better than in any previous
year in the history of the city. The
immense amount of money expended
in this city for improvements of a
public and private nature has enabled
the working man to supply his family
with every comfort, and when the
workmeu have money to spend times
are bound to be good. Salmon City
has accomplished much during the
past twelve months. Let us hope thai
she will accomplish more in the com
ing twelve months. The prospect:
for another prosperous year are IN

At this place, at Z o'clock yesterday
Thursday morning, Feb. 8, 1888, of
pneumonia, Mrs. Margaret Jane Har-
yey.
Deceased was born Aug. l2, 1920,
at Eastport, Maine, where she recelv-
ed her education, and was married at
the age of sixteen to Mr.. Earl, cap
tain of vessel that was wrecked, and
Mr.. Earl drowned, only six months
after their marriage. After the death
other father, Charles Nelson Ia nephew
of Lord Nelson) she removed to Mas
sachusetts and engaged in the milll-
merry business, and after few years
removed to California, where she
married Mr.. Hunt, a merchant whom
she assisted in business until his health
failed. Then she carried on the busi-
ness alone, with much success, for
many years. During this time she
buried her husband and in 1857 mar
ried Mr.. j. F. Harvey, then removed
to Washington Territory. From
there Mr.. and Mrs Harvey came to
Idaho City in 1868, and kept the
American Hotel, which was burned in
the first large fire, in 1865. Here she
buried her husband, Mr.. Harvey, in
July, 1879.
Up to the time of her death she
was remarkably energetic, and ever
willing to do her utmost for those she
loved. Mrs. Harvey was true Chris
tian, devoted member of the Epis-
copal Church; also warm advocate
of temperance, and a member of the
l. e. R. c. of this place, the meetings
of which order she attended regularly,
and was in attendance at the regular
meeting last Saturday evening. Mrs.
Harvey had a good education, and
kept up with the age in general in
formation on leading questions and
the advancements made, and her
memory and intellect, notwithstand-
ing her old age (67 years and six
months) retained their strength and
vigor. She gained and held the es-
TEEN of all who knew her for her
steadfastness of principle and purpose,
and unassuming earnestness in what
ever principles she advocated. She
leaves an adopted daughter, Mrs. Ella
Darrah, wife of Nelson Darrah, for
whom her devotion was as strong as
if she had been her own daughter. The
attachment of one for the other was
as firm and warm as if they had been
mother and daughter. Mrs. Darrah
has the sympathies of her many friends
of this place in her bereavement.
The funeral will take place from
Masonic Hall at 2 o'clock tomorrow
Saturday, under the auspices of the
I. c. r. c. The members of this or
der are requested to meet at their
Hall at l o'clock tomorrow.

hp' WORLD; Boise City is verv

many strange faces are seen on onu
streets every day. Although SO oui-
et now' everything points to a bio
o ior tnis place in the spring.
Work is going on steadily on tho
Settlers Ditch. There are now about
lorty men and thirty teams at work
on tins ditch, which, when completed
Will open to settlement several tbou
sand acres Of now worthless saoe-
brush land. The Ridenbaugh ditch
mas been sold to Denver capitalists.
This ditch will be enlarged and ex-
tended to Nampa, the surveys of
winch have been completed. It is
understood that large number Of
men will be put to work in a few
days.
IL is rumored that work on the New
York lrrigating canal will commence
shortly. This is by far the most OF
gantlc enterprise ever started in this
Territory, and it is earnestly boped
that 1t Will be carried through. The
main canal will be forty feet wide on
the bottom, will be between twenty
and thirty miles long, and will require
an outlay of from 100000 to s1o,-
100000 to complete it. Branch ca
nails will be run from the main one.
thus opening for settlement thousands
OF acres of sagebrush land lying be-
tween the Boise and Snake rivers.
This winter has been probably the
severest ever known on stock in this
section, several stockmen estimating
the loss in this county at so per cent.
while 1t is not nearly so heavy Oh the
other side of Snake river.
The weather is very warm and
pleasant. A few more days of this
weather will start the grass in the
hills nicely. The mud in the streets
's'drylng up fast, and | expect dust
will be flying before long.
Socially, Boise City has been very
lively this winter. Dances, parties
and entertainments without number.
There is considerable sickness here
at present, and several deaths have
occurred lately.
The smiling countenance of J. Nc
kean was seen on the streets during
the past few days. Nc is now brake
man on the 0. S. L. running between
Green River, Wyoming, and Hunt
ington, Oregon. He is as happy and
good-natured as of yore.
There is considerable talk of get
ting up a militia company at this
place. Everything will be furnished
by the Government, and large num-
Der Of Bosses young men having an
nounced their willingness to enroll, l
expect the company will be organic
ed in few days.
Mr.. G. P. Bilderback has been ap-
pointed postmaster at this place, vice
Thos. B. Cess, resigned. Mr.. Bilder-
back will take charge of the office
shortly.
Mails and trains continue to arrive
irregularly. Although now relic of
the past, I think the old stage coach
would be great improvement, at
least as far as the mail is concerned
The telegraph line from here to
Nampa was completed last week.
