THANKSGIVING.

Thanksgiving day at Ketchum
was warm, sunny and pleasant, and
was generally observed as a holiday,
and day of quiet social cheer
which was participated in and en-
joyed by nearly all. The young
mems ball was largely attended,
seventy-hve or more of the devotees
of Terpsichore being present, and
Ketchum's beauty and chivalry pur-
sued the quadrille, waltz and prom
enade till the approach Of another
day had told them that Thanksgiv-
ing had come and gone. The elder
and more staid of our people en-
joyed themselves feasting and chat
ting over things that have been and
that all hope will be, and were not
less pleasantly entertained than the
young. Mr.. and Mrs. Judge Lewis,
Mr.. and Mrs. Greenhow, Mr.. and
Mrs. Westman, Mrs. Laura c. Tue
ker, Mr.. and Mrs. A. H. Dollarhide,
Mr.. and Mrs. J. F. Griffin, Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Koninger, Mr.. and Mrs.
Newman, Rev. and Mrs. Richie
and others gave good old style
Thanksgiving dinners, in which the
Lroverbial roast turkey and mince
pie were conspicuous among the
good things served. The KEYSTONE
scribe and family sampled the din
ner provided by Mrs. Tucker, and
pronounce it most relishable IN
every respect. Nothing was lacking
that could tempt even the dalntlest
appetite, and the preparation was
superior. The dinner was perfect
Our hotels, equal to the OCCASION
also prepared elegant and sumptu:
Gus spreads for their guests and
were literally patronized. Alto,
gether, Thanksgiving day was well
enjoyed, and will be a pleasant
memory with our people unit
Christmas banishes it from thell
recollection.

Needs q Smelter.
Ketchum needs a smelte

Ketchum needs a smelter and
needs it badly. Moreover, money
invested in a 30-ton smelter here
would pay handsomely. This is
evidenced by the large amount of
high-grade ore being shipped from
here for reduction elsewhere. And
the ore shipped is but fraction of
the amount that would be offered
for reduction at a home smelter-
onlythe richest ores being shipped.
Given smelter at home and all of
the ore now shipped, as well as that
left on dumps that will pay even a
small profit over the cost of extrac-
ton and reduction would be smelt-
ed. Besides ten times the amount
of work would then be done, and
ores taken out, because our miners
would then be encouraged to work.
1t is no reply to this to say there
are already smelters here that
are idle. They are here and are
idle but not because there is any
lack of ore here that will pay and
pay handsomely for reduction. A
half-million of dollars in reduction
works is lying here apparently un-
productive. Why this is SO is in
explicable, except upon the theory
that deal exists between the rail-
roads, the eastern smelters and the
Ketchum company, by which they
are remunerated for the use Of their
idle capital that our miners may be
forced to ship their ores east. But
whatever the cause of the continued
shutdown of our smelters, the time
has come when ample assurance Of
business and success can be given
to a new company to locate here
for the reduction of ores, and it be-
hooves our business men and men
of standing and influence to take
the matter in hand, and make the
necessary representations to mining
men of means, that reduction works
may be established and our mines
worked as they should be. Self
help is the best help in the world.
1t therefore devolves upon those
who live here and know the facts
to induce the right class of men to
come here and acquaint themselves
with the condition and promise of
our mines. This done, the needed
smelter will follow, inevitably, and
the old-time prosperity return with
every desirable guarantee of per-
manenCy.

An Unfavorable Outlook.

What the people of the great
Northwest want just now is reason
ably cheap transportation. Idaho,
Oregon and Washington are all
deeply interested in this, but East
ern Oregon and Idaho more espe-
cially SO. The development of their
great mining areas, and the utiliza-
ton of their vast forests depend
almost entirely upon this one thing,
as does also the settlement and
prosperity of the two sections. But
how is this to be gotten? The con-
solidation of the great railroads OF
the country under one management
and the intimation already given
out that rates will be raised, con-
sidered in connection with the fact
that these combinations are de-
signed to, and do, annihilate COM
petition, BODIES only evil to the bust
ness interest of the sections most
dependent on the roads in question.
The fact that they annually divide
millions after deducting the expense
of operating and repairing their old
roads, and building new ones,
affords no assurance that the pres
ent rates will not be advanced. for
greed is an attribute of human ma
ture that is never satisfied. Neither
does the argument that the COM
panies would destroy their business
by overreaching themselves in the
matter of excessive exactions apply
in this case, for the plain reason
that there is no one else to take
their business from them. They
alone are prepared to and can do
the carrying business of this region,
which under present arrangements
and conditions is completely at
their mercy. And since the law
affords no protection in such cases,
and since railroad attorneys in Con-
gress generally deny to the law
makers the right to regulate the
charges of these companies, the only
feasible plan of defense would seem
to be for our boards of trade and
shippers to combine and effect a
compromise by which something
approximating olive and let live"
principle could be secured. The
rule Of "all the traffic will bear
and little more, will prove disas-
trous to our prosperity. That rail
roads should be paid for their SER
vices is a business proposition that
no rational person will galnsay
but that they should be permitted
to exact rates, on watered stocks.
enabling them to construct hun
dreds of miles of new roads annu,
ally, and to declare dividends reach
in far into the millions besides, Is
absurd and ruinous to the business
of the country; it is especially SC
to the business Of new and unde'
veveloped countries like Idaho and
Eastern Oregon.

A Silver Lining.

DuI1uB ldSL WICK hcICuum WAS
visited by gentleman said to rep
resent large capital. He came to
look over the Baltimore and indie
pendence group of. mines with a
view of purchasing, and, if the
splendid looking samples Of ore
which he carried away with him
sustain, by their yield, the good
reputation of those mines, there
would seem to be no reason why a
sale should not be effected, and
something like the old-time pros
perity of our town established.
The property is valuable one, and
work on it, if followed as it doubt
less would be, by the reduction of
ores at home, would result in such
general activity in mining as this
county has not known since the
flush times of five or six years ago.
Everything is here that is required
to make a prosperous mining camp
and wealthy owners. The noun
tains surrounding US ars deposito-
ries of vast lodges of silver and
lead. Many of these lodges are in
an advanced stage of development.
Over a million pounds of ore is be-
ing shipped away for reduction
every month, and large amounts of
bullion besides. The latter from
interior points. The ore shipped
is extracted by owners who are at
the disadvantage of having little or
no help. Its shipment and reduc-
ton at profit abroad, is conclusive
proof that it can be reduced at
still greater profit at home. And
there being more mines developed
and yielding ore within reach of
our smelters, better roads, cheaper
freights and fuel, and greatly i'm
proved facilities in every way, the
conditions are more favorable to
successful mining operations than
ever before. Certainly the excellent
prospects being obtained in the
Pride of Idaho, the Trapper, North
Star, the Dollarhide, the Silver King
and the Baltimore and Independ-
ence group, coupled with the prob
ability of an early sale of the latter
begins to give to the cloud that has
so long hung over Ketchum, a sill
yer lining in a double sense. Those
who with unfaltering faith in the
permanency and richness of our
mines stood by them in spite of
discouragements and failures, are
now nearing their reward. A new
energy and new hope is being in
fused into the spirit of our mining
industry. And so far this is all the
result of the self-reliant energy of
the miner. If the smelters already
here are not started up in few
months others will be; for capital,
although too cowardly to SOW, will
not be slow to reap the immense
profits here exposed to the pick
and drill of the patient miner. A
| few months more, unless the signs
of the times shall prove disappoint-
ing, and Ketchum will take her
rightful place at the head of the
procession of Wood River towns
and keep It.
