PeniteHtiary.

The penitentiary is situated about two
mi es asst of the postoffice at the base Of
the foothills. 1t was commenced during
1871 and finished during the fall of the
following year. 1t is neither remarkable
for its strength or size. In its rear is a
fine quarry from whence stone is being
taken for the Improvement now going on
at the capital grounds and for which labor
the prisoners receive wages, the work be-
ing let to one of their number as con
tractor, who hires the others. The num-
Der of cells is but forty-twO to accommo-
date seventy prisoners. 1t will, then, be
seen that the establishment is entirely in
adequate to the needs of the territory.
Around the old building and enclosing six
or eight acres is board fence upon
which are made guard houses where
are stationed men with rifles to pick
off any who attempt to escape. They
are not troubled much in that line, how
run any risk of life in an attempt to get
away. Few do any work and when they
d J., receive pay for it, which is very good
thing, when it is considered they have no
board to pay and no clothing to purchase
They are well fed; the water is conveyed
from spring on the neighboring mountain
and the prisoners have but little to trouble
them. It does seem as if they should be
made to pay their board. Joseph Wilson,
United States marshal has charge OF the
institution. Springer Wardwell is warden
and Tim Driscoll clerk. William Clark,
Dan Coughlan, Budd Haley, Joseph Holley
and Charles Boldie are guards.

Newspapers.

In the year 1854 J. S. Reynolds started
the Idaho Statesman in Boise city, the lot
upon which it now stnads. together with
some money, being contributed by various
citizens. He continued printing the same
until 1871, when it was purchased by Hon.
Milton Kelly, who was its editor and pro-
prietor, changing it from a tri-weekly to a
daily about the lst of January, 1888. In the
spring of 1882 he sold the establishment to
Calvin Cobb, Joseph Perrault, Rounsvelle
Wildmau and others, who formed d joint
stock company and have since enlarged, so
that it now has twenty eight columns. In
1877, Jud Boyakin commenced printing
the IdaIJdn, and continuing the same
eighteen months it fell into the hands of
Jas. A. Pinney, who disposed of the same to
Judge Kelly, who in turn sold it to the
Democratic party. J. II. Pile and j. B.
Foster then ran the concern under the
name of the Idaho Democrat until January
!, 1879, when they abandoned it and the
Office remained closed until the 1st of June
following. Then A. II. Abbott printed two
numbers and also gave it up. In 1880,
Jud Boyakin, who had reviewed the IddhOd1l
and was printing it as Democratic news
paper, took charge Of the Democrat and has
had it ever since. Daniel Bacon printed
the Republican for number of years in this
city, but nearly two years ago removed it
to Nampa. About twenty years ago one
John McGouigle printed the Herald, a Dem
ocratic paper, in this city, but it was of
short duration. A paper called the Capital
Chronicle had short existence i'll early
times. Hon. James A. Pinney printed two
or three numbers of the Capital in 1869
and sold out to the Statesman company.

| According to the provisions of an act of
the legislature CT Idaho, approved Febru-
airy 4, 1881, the most of Boise city was or
ganized into an independent school district,
with board of six trustees, consisting of
CHRISTOPHER w. Moore, Hosea B. Eastman,
John Lemp, Peter ]. Peay, Charles Him
rod and Richard T. johnson. The district
was authorized to issue bonds i'm the sum
of S25, 600, and $4,000 more if it became
necessary in constructing the schoolhouse.
BY the terms of an act passed February 2,
1888, the district was authorized to issue
SIS, 900 more of bonds. one-half to be eX-
pended in completing the building and the
other in procuring furniture and appa-
ratus and in improvement of the
grounds, The legislature had also author
lied the mayor of the city to convey the
west half of the two blocks dedicated by
the town company for capitol grounds to
the independent school district which had
been made a body corporate. The school
building was commenced in 1881 and com
pleted in 1882. The cost of the building
was 81, 800. The furniture and outside
improvements brought up the sum total to
$4,000. 1t is one of the finest school build
ings in the west and the people of Boise
city are Justly proud of it. 1t is under the
direction of Professor Daniels, who has
generally six assistants, while the number
of scholars who attend is about seven hun

Boise CITY Opera House.

During the year 1888 Peter Soma built
the splendid brick block, corner Of Ninth
and Main streets, for his extensive hard
ware establishment He conceived the
idea of devoting the second story to the
purpose Of an opera house. His first eX-
pertinent not proving satisfactory on ac-
count of sound and various other unfor
seen faults, he caused the same to be en-
tirely overhauled during the past summer
under the advice of distinguished actor
as well as the direction of a competent
architect. The opera house has raised
seats from the stage to the entrance
in both the gallery and parquette.
The seats are easy chairs and mum
Der 800. The acoustic preparations
are perfect and the scenery very fine. The
size of the stage is 4Sx34 and the embellish-
ments and adornments such as are seldom
seen in any but metropolitan theatres.
Several artists who have recently had oc-
casion to visit the city in the line of their
profession do not hesitate to express them
selves in very approbative terms of the
opera house and to say that it is one of the
finest on the Pacific coast

Hot Springs.

These springs are owned by MIR. Milton
Kelly, formerly editor and proprietor of
the Idaho Statesman. They are situated
upon tract of land owned by the judge of
about five hundred acres, five miles east
erly of town, which he is at the present
time engaged in improving and endeavor-
ing to beautify and adorn so as to render
the place attractive and a resort for those
who seek either health or pleasure. 1t is
claimed for these springs that they are not
eXcelled by any in the United States for
the curative properties of their waters.
Some are boiling hot, others are warm
enough for baths Steam, plunge, mud and
tub baths are provided for visitors. AT
present most of the visitors are persons
who reside in the territory, but it is expec-
ted when the contemplated improvements
are perfected and the usual
amcult of advertising done, they viii OBJ
tain national reputation. They are
leased by Isaac Redell, who keeps good
house on the premises and has bar sup
piled with the usual merchandise. Con-
veyanceis provided from the Central hotel
for such as wish to visit the springs.

Electric Light.

An electric light company was formed in
this city during the spring of 1887, of which
William H. Nye was elected president and
j. w. Cunningham secretary. A dynamo

IMPROVE THE CAPITOL GROUNDS
Court House.

At the eleventh session of the Idaho
legislature there was passed and approved
February 9, 1881, an act to provide for the
erection of court house and jail building
at Boise city, Ada county, on the county
block No. 65, according to the official plat
of said city. BY the provisions of said act
the county was authorized to issue $4,000
in bonds, but if from any unforeseen causes
that amount was not sufficient then $4,000
more might be issued. The whole cost of
the structure was S75, 000 exclusive of i'm
proyements since made upon the grounds.
1t is true that the building is very fine
one, but $4,000 more could be advan-
tageously expended in the furnishing of the
court house and upon the block without
making its appearance any better than that
of the graded school or the capitol build
ing situated upon the next two blocks to
the westward on the same street

copal, on Bannock and Sixth, in 1867; the

the present Catholic church, in 1884. There
was, however, a Catholic church between

Of a hundred kinds. It is one of the most
