ADMISSION OF WASHINGTON.

On the 18th of December, 1887
Senator Dolph, of Oregon, intro.
duced bill to provide for the for
nation and admission into the
Union of the State of Washington
and for ''other purposes.
On the same day Senator Turpie
of Indiana introduced bill for
the formation and admission of the
States of Washington, Dakota,
Montana and New Mexico and for
"other purposes.
Any person can easily infer from
a perusal of these bills what is
meant by the four words, viz ; sand
tor other purposes" especially in
the one introduced by Senator
Dolph. 1t means no more or less
than a "rider," to ride the four
northern counties of Idaho into,
and to form part o., Washington
when it is admitted as state. Con
gress may have the power and con-
troll of the Territories, and it may
vide and cut up or blot them out
OF existence, but as long as the
people in their sovereignty have
planted their feet upon the soil,
that Congress has once coded to
them in good faith, and as long as
the possessors thereof assume to
exercise a semblance of constitu-
tional rights, it is not reasonable
to suppose that the general govern
lnent with all its sovereign power
over its wards, will undertake to
divide up or blot out Territory,
at the instance of, and upon the
petition of, a few as against the
almost unanimous protest of the
people of the territory by remon-
strances, and by an almost unani-
nous protest of their Legislature.
The Honorable Senator from Oregon
and the ambitious Delegate from
Washington better be satisfied with
the present status of their Territory,
and endeavor to place it as one
OF the constellation of States
as soon as they can, and keep
hands off of Idaho, for it will
be cold day" before their Terri
tory will fondly embrace the area
of Idaho possessions as con-
templated in the abdomen" of the
bill introduced for the admission
OF the State of Washington.

REaDUnEE8 on TDANO.

| Mr.. Parker, editor Of the Idaho
County Free Press, in his exhaust
i've communication to the New
Years edition of the Oregonian or
the resources Of Idaho, makes the
following favorable mention OF
Ketchum:
Ketchum is the upper town in
the lower Wood River valley, with
q population of 1900. It is the
terminus of the Wood River branch
railroad connecting with the Ore.
gon Short Line railroad at Sho-
shone junction, and is also the
shipping point to the growing min
ing camps at Smoky, Bayhorse,
Clayton, Challis, Bonanza, Stan
ley Basin and Sheep mountain
countries. The Ketchum Fast
Freight Line has been kept busy
all through the present season
transporting freight, having fully
half million pounds of freight on
the road at the date of my visit to
the town in November last. The
extensive smelling works of the
Philadelphia & Idaho company are
located here; the company owns
several valuable mines in the neigh
borhood and is doing much to de-
velop the country. One of its lat
est enterprises was the erection of an
$50, 900 mill and pumping works on
the Silver Star mine in Smoky dis
trict. The town was full of business
during my stay and the streets were
fairly lined with long strings of
freight teams and pack trains en-
gagged in freight TO the inside camps.
The mercantile business is the
largest on the river, supplying all
the leading mines in the tributary
camps In addition to the local traf-
fic. The new mining district on
Sheep mountain, 100 miles north
east of Ketchum, is already at
tracing considerable attention, and
as the town is the natural outlet
for that entire country, it will
naturally reap substantial benefit
from the increase of business con-
sequent upon the development of
the new camp. Steps for the estab-
lishment of mail routes between
Ketchum and Sheep mountain and
Smoky districts are already being
made. The principal mines tribu-
tary to this handsomely located
and enterprising town are the Silver
Star, Garry Leonard, Dollarhide,
North Star, Elkhorn, Ophir and
Yankee Blade. A new two-story
brick schoolhouse has just been
erected at Ketchum at a cost of
$4,000. The interests of the town
and county are ably represented by
the KEYSTONE, weekly newspaper
which is credit to the press of the
territory.

BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS.

Tomorrow, January 9Th, is the
anniversary of one of the most i'm
portant events in the American
history, although not generally OBJ
served. Seventy-three years ago
tomorrow, the victory achieved by
General Jackson at the battle of
New Orleans virtually ended the
war with Great Britain. The war
was over-peace had been signed
before the battle of New Orleans
was fought, but the news of the
signing of the treaty was not re-
ceived at New York until February
II, 1915. A week later there was a
grand procession of all the trades
and industries, ball was held in
the evening where our ladies danced
with British officers, drinking of
healths and forgetting that a few
days before they had been enemies.

COIN CERTIFICATES.

Our exchanges throughout the
West all speak with the greatest
approval of Senator Stewards bill
for the issuance of coin certificates
to circulate as money!" which is
now in the hands of the committee
on finance of the senate. 1t is
hoped by every friend of industrial
labor that the same will become a
law. 1t will be the means of ac-
comprising a reform that will ad-
vance the best interests of the peo-
pie, by giving them an adequate
amount of circulating medium to
do the business of the country, so
that they will not be dependent on
the shylocks for money; or, in
other words, labor shall control its
own earnings. The Chamber OF
Commerce of Salt Lake City on
December 9th, in expressing their
approval of the law, adopted the
following resolutions:
Kesotocd, That for introducing into the
senate of the United States q Measure
which crystalized into a law would re
store silver to its rightful and immortal
place as a true measure of values and
basis for perfect circulating medium,
Hon. VIM. Stewart of Nevada is entitled
to the sincere thanks Of this chamber.
RESOLVED, That while such law would
be Of marked benefit to silver producing
states aad territories we believe it would
also be of much greater benefit to the
eastern states than to the silver produc
ing regions, as the value of their produc-
irons exceeds ours; that the law would
add 30 per cent. to the debt paying ca
pacity of every product of labor.

Home Raised Horses and Mules.

The Middle Georgia Progress, of
Sandersville, Ga, is quite correct in
stating that there is scarcely an in
dustry from which our farmers could
derive greater profit and which has
been more sadly neglected for long
term of years than that of raising
mules and horses. One of the most
hopeful signs we have noticed recent
ly of return to the economical Gus
toms of the past in this region. is the
manifest disposition ON the part of an
increasing number of our people TO
give more attention to stock-raising,
Especially is this true of animals of
the horse kind. We venture the as
sertion that there are more colts in
Washington County now than at any
period since the war.
Commenting on the above the
Monroe AtUertiser. of Forsyth, Ga,
adds: We are glad to note the ten
dency of many of our Monroe County
farmers to this enterprise. There are
a number of horses in our county to-
day that are livi evidences of the
fact that as good horses can be raised
in Monroe as are raised in Tennessee
and Kentucky. Besides, there are
numerous colts that are splendid
specimens and that now promise to be
as good horses as can be obtained any
where. This is farm enterprise that
has been in the past too much neglect
ed by our farmers, and this neglect
has been source of heavy drainage
upon the finances of our farming peo-
pie.

1.-THE Universal Hog"

Soused cheese is very appetizing
dish, and nice one to have for sup
per when visitors drop in. You make
it by boiling the head until it is soft
enough for the bones 10 drop out.
The ears. carefully scraped and
cleaned, may be boiled with the head
and made into souse, which is almost
the only use that can be made of them.
One heal and dozen ears will suffice
to make a good sized souse cheese.
When the head has boiled perfectly
soft. take out the bones and
mince up the flesh as fine as for
chicken salad. Flavor it with salt,
pepper, mustard. celery seed. OF any
condiment you may fancy. Put 1t
in a bowl, and set it away till the fol-
lowing day, when you will be able to
turn it out in solid shape and cut it
in slices.
1t is astonishing what a great vari-
ETY. of dishes the hog furnishes us
with. Nearly every part of its body
may be made into something
palatable or serviceab!e by an expert
enced housekeeper. When. we con.
slider the many uses to which "a hogs
flesh can be-put, we are struck with
the appropriateness of the title which
some noted person has bestowed on
that animal, viz: 'the universal hog"

THE SHAKER SOCIETY.
Causes That Have Led to the Decline OF
This Thrifty Community.

Causes That Have Led to the Decline OF
This Thrifty Community.
One cause for the dying out of this
thrifty and virtuous society is the
changed characteristics of the native
population of New England. Two gen.
erations ago the family of farmer in
this country would ordinarily contain
at least half dozen, and frequently
a dozen, children. Nowadays families
in like situation will average, perhaps,
a third as many. Naturally enough,
population pressed hard on the means
of subsistence, and it appears that it
was no uncommon thing for farmer
with very large family, who found it
growing more and more difficult to
make living, to join the Shakers with
his wife and all his children. However
it may have been with the parents, it
was of course very doubtful if children
adopted under these circumstances
would ever become converts to the prin-
ciples of Shakerism, and as they grew
up they became an element of weak
ness to the society, while swelling its
numbers. With the developments Of
railroads and the opening of the fertile
West, the growth IF manufactures and
the decrease of the birth rate, access
sions of large families no longer took
place. 1t is not improbable, too, that
the material prosperity Of these people
had tendency to cause the decay of
their system. Originally they seem to
have been very poor, but by frugality
and sobriety they soon became pros
porous. The enterprise in which
they were engaged drew to such
an extent that they were tempted,
if not obliged, to employ labor
ers from worlds people, as
they were called-and with the in
PRODUCTION of this element scandals be-
gan. Human nature in the young
Shaker girls was not subdued by the
Shaker discipline, and they often ran
away with and were married to the
worlds people, with whom they had
been thrown while at work. Matters
came to such pass that in one COM
munitF twenty-three ran away at one
time. Thus the introduction of more
of the disturbing element was necessi-
tated, and finally, when the property
was sold, there were but seven left of
a family that once had numbered nearly
two hundred. - Warerlu MAGAZINE.

results of the first trial by the Govern.
ment of the diffusion process in Louis.

comment: "All of the above is yery
encouraging, and fully demonstrates
by comparison. the effectiveness Of the
milling process. But does this prove
that diffusion will become a practicsI
success? We think not. It must b
shown that the increase in extraction
will more than compensate for the 10.
creased cost of evaporation. Wemust
know how much fuel it takes to evap.

added 80 per cent more, to make up
for the loss of bagasse as fuel Tn.
less some means are discovered where

spirit of opposition, but rather regret
fully, for surely there is great need d
