SALOON IN POLITICS.

The January number OF tne
Chdutduqadn presents an unbiased
discussion of the saloon in politics,
by means of letters written for that
magazine by prominent men. These
are few sentences from the letters:
Not until the people are aroused
to the danger that threatens them,
Not until they have resolved
that no man tainted by participa'
ton in this traffic can be tolerated
in any public Office, can we hope
that our common peril may be
averted. Bishop II. c. Potter.
The saloon can not be said to
have one redeeming feature about
it. 1t helps no cause of human
virtue or happiness, bot it is the
enemy of God and man. 1t is EVIL,
and only evil, and that continually.
With these characteristics we may
well predict what would be its
effects npOn the politics of our cOun.

deato Of Unitarian Theological Sem

A deeper sense of the duties OF
citizenship, and clearer view OF
party obligations would quickly
bring to end the domination of the
saloon in politics. Washington

ola Chinese massacre on Snake river
which have been current in the
Idaho press for the past year have
at last eliminated in something
tangible. About a year ago 8 party
of men, seven in number, entered
into an agreement to murder an
outfit of Chinese who were mining
for gold dust about forty miles
above Lewiston. All the men but
one went down to the Chinese camp
and opened fire on them, killing
them all, ten in number, and then
put the bodies of all except two in
to the boat which the Cinnamon
had, and scuttled it. They then
secured all the money and gold
dust they could find, amounting to
between $4,000 and $4,000, This
was given to one of the party to sell
for coin, and after he got possession
of it he skipped the country and
the rest of the party got nothing.
The complications arising from this
episode in the crime exposed the
murdercrs.

TELEGRAPH vs.. TELEPHONE.
A Fair and Able Presentation Of the
Silver City Enterprise.
Silver City Avalanche, 9th.

Silver City will soon enjoy com
munication with the outside world
by both telegraph and telephone.
A telegraph line will be completed
to Caldwell about June 10th and a
telephone line will connect US with
Nampa and Boise City OH or before
that date. To one familiar with the
business of our town it must appear
that one of these lines would be
ample and that when two are con-
structed neither them will be self
supporting. 1t is not expected that
they will be. It is therefore a nat
ural inference that foolish thing
is being done in building both. As
all the leading men of Silver City
were subscribers to one of these
lines, and as not a dollar of Silver
City money is put in the other, it is
quite evident that some pique Or
unbusiness-like motive prompted its
construction. AS no man or com
munity likes to be thought guilty OF
doing a thoroughly foolish thing, it
gives us satisfaction to be able in
this instance to assert that Silver
City people were not the guilty ones.
This is apparent to everyone who
understands the situation. A brief
history of the circumstances which
caused both lines to be begun will
suffice to show who is in the wrong.
The imperative necessity of tele
graphic communication, in view of
the large mining transactions going
on here, being felt by our business
men, meeting was called, and sub
scriptions asked for to build the
line. An amount almost sufficient
for the purpose was subscribed on
the spot. 1t was then suggested
that, as the line would be of con-
siderable benefit to the railroad
point having the other terminus, we
would give it to the town helping
US out with the biggest subscription.
After we had organized a company
and elected officers we passed res
olution to this effect. The language
of the resolution was plain and the
proposition a fair one Copies of it
were sent to Mountain Home, Boise
City, Nampa and Caldwell. The
citizens here were bound to carry it
out to the letter. The people of
Caldwell and Mountain Home I'M
derstand the English language and
the nature of an obligation. The
people of Boise City and Nampa
may understand plain English, but
from their actions in this instance,
it does not appear that they thought
a violation of an Obligation made
by Silver City people was q matter
of any Importance. The Boise City
Board of Trade, although it has
been laughed at time and again for
attempting to regulate all the affairs

SILVER CITY NEWS,

T. Regain, the popular Silver City
hotel man, is with his family in
Boise for the week.
The roads around Silver City
are now all in splendid condition,
and freight is arriving daily.
Messrs. J. l. Crutcher and
brother are taking very rich ore
from the 600 foot level in the En-
pire mine on War Eagle Mountain,
They are proving this mine to be
all they so long claimed for it, The
ECrutchcrs deserve their good luck,
and everybody rejoiees with them.
The tunnel has been started on
Jordan Creek, to strike the Wilson
lode at depth of 800 feet, The
tunnel will be over 100 feet in
length. When completed ore can
be delivered in the mill without
carriage. Capt. De Lamar, the
principal owner of the Wilson, is
now In Europe, but is expected
home early in June.
The Orc Elmo Mining Company
have only run small force Of men
upon their tunnel for the past
month for want of wood. They arr
now putting their machinery in or
ner and will have plenty of fuel il
a few days, when they will begin
work vigorously, under the manage
ment of Mr.. NJ. T. Leech. The tun
mel is now in 270 feet on the ledge
which is, showing good ore.
Mr.. B. S. Howe, superintendent
Of the Proustite mine at Wagon
town, leaves for the east this week
for a short stay. He takes with hin
some beautiful specimens of ore
from that splendid mine, leaving g
large quantity of the same charact
err sacked at the mine Mr.. Howe
carries with him the best wishes o.
Silver City people, who recognize
in him not only a pleasant gentle.
man but an efficient mining man
The Proustite mill will be started
when he returns, with plenty of ore
in sight to keep it running steadily
for a long time to come.

of the Territory and Natisn, ea:r
vened and took affairs in their
hands. They called in Mr.. c. f.
Annett, manager of the Rocky
Mountain Bell Telephone Company
and, after concluding that Silver
City did not want a telegraph, but
could not exist without Il telephone
connection with Boise City, they
made a bargain with Mr.. Anhett ts
construct a line for us and prom
ised to contribute half the cost,
thinking that Silver City would
cheerfully pay the ether half, They
then appointed two gentlemen to
accompany Mr.. Anaett here and
close the bargain. Furthermore
they persuaded the good people of
Nampa that that the only concern
they need give themselves abeut the
matter was to chipin big portion
of the money required to build the
line end leave the manipulation to
them. The two gentlemen appoint
ed to come here with Mr.. Annett
were given explicit instructions and
had no authority to go beyond them.
They arrived here two days before
the time appointed for opening the
the bids, made the proposition ~
they were instructed to do, and
learned that we could not accept ii,
however desirable it might be, be-
cause by doing so we would violate
the terms upon which we had ad-
vertiscd for bids. They at once saw
and admitted their mistake but had
no authority to rectify it. Like
the gentleman which they were,
! they admitted their mistake, and,
when the time came for opening the
bids they gracefully let Caldwell
carry off the prize for half the
amount they were willing to pay.
1t can further he said in their favor
that they expressed their regrets for
having anything to do with Mr..
Annett, and plainly showed their
disgust for the manner in which he
acted. That individual did not inn
press any one favorably here and
finally left under a promise which
he promptly failed to carry out. If
the Rocky Mountain Bell Tele-
phone expects to become popular
under such q manager, they will be
seriously disappointed. The Boise
City people were not, however, sat
istied with making one blunder.
They at once tried to rectify one
mistake by making another, for it
assuredly is Il mistake to suppose
that the Silver City people will
) favor q telephone line built to cut
off the revenue of an enterprise
started with their own money
Nearly every Silver City business
man, whose patronage of a tele,
graph line is worth considering, is
, a subscriber to the stock of the
telegraph company, 1t is needless
to say that they do not approve o.
, the manner in which the telephone
people have acted Mr.. Anrett''
threats that they shall not have {
connection with the Western Unioy
at Caldwell, do not terrify then
anymore than his promises delud(
them. The insult offered them by
irresponsible citizens of Nampa, il
saying that it was a put up jol
that Caldwell should have the line
they do not heed. But whs they
claim that Hon. r. q. johnson
made such a statement, they would
resent it were it not that they know
that gentleman too well to believe
; him capable of accusing them o
such duplicity.
