OAACS. lA6 Oils ne is anxious TO get

kinds, prominent among which is one for
the enlargement Of the pennitentiary The
passage of these bills viii save just the
amount of money named in them to the
new state and MIR. Dubois would Ike very
well to add to his popularity by being in

the answer that if Idaho is as rich as has
been represented at Washington, it should
be abundantly able to make all the needed
improvements
WITHOUT FEDERAL AID.
Although much doubt and uncertainty
exists as TO the time of Idahos admission
1t seems 10 be generally conceded that the
time is not far distant when il will become
state. Both political parties are acting
upon this assumption. The Republicans
are at work like beavers endeayoring to
spread discomfort in the Democratic ranks
In Iemhl county, where the statehood feel
ing Is very strong and the puritanic ele-
ment large, the whole Democratic delega-
ton in Congress is charged with being in
league with the Mormon church at Salt
Lake and working in harmony with it to
accomplish certain ends. As absurd as this
thing seems, it is believed If thousands
and tens of thousands of educated men
could be induced to believe the absurdities
OF the evidence In the case before Judge
Anderson at Salt Lake last winter relating
10 the disloyalty Of the Mormon people,
and that ii was exhibited to such degree
as TO unit them for American citizenship,

bllity OF the rural population of Idaho! The

manner, covering their tracks as far as
possible. The same causes that have lost
them votes in Iowa, Ohio, Rhode Island
and other states are operating against them
here, and they know it. 1t is
THE PROTECTIVE TARIFF
that father of all monopolies. They I'M
derstand very well that they have to make
up for these losses, and they will endeavor
TO do SO by lavish use of money. Nearly
all the men Of wealth in the territory are
Republicans, and they are of a class who
use their money freely for party purposes.
The Democrats, upon the other hand, are
poor as a class. The former expects a
large amount of money from the treasury
OF the Republican national committee. A
prominent Democratic gentleman of this
county in answer to the inquiry as to
whether anything could be done by way of
assistance in conducting campaign under
the first state election, received the assur-
ance from the Democratic national com
mlttee that 1t was out of funds, that posi-
bly, some good speakers could be secured to
canvass the new state and that was the
extent OF Its ability 1t will thus be seen
that the Democratic party is going into the
fight under great disadvantages. Even
now, Idaho is naturally Democratic The
best Informed men of both parties agree
that If the people were let alone to vote as
their
the result would be favorable to the Demo
cratic party. The Republicans have better
workers and a better organization. We
have an element which
IFTT CANNOT RULE WILL RUIN.
It has sacrificed Ainslie and Hawley. and
viii do the same act over again whenever
their wishes are thwarted in a nominating
convention. They are excellent Democrats
whenever their own class receive a nomin-
alton Otherwise they are boilers.
The Republicans have their slate pretty
nearly made out. The present incumbent
George L. Shoup will be nominated for
City -4gGldnche, may be nominated for lieu
tenant governor, unless there should be a
big kick from the panhandle. 1t is well
settled that Willis Sweet, of Moscow. is to
be the nominee for Congress. He has been
on the slate for years. Hon. Z. J. Curtis
VIII TSSSlNS I16 secretary of
state. The rank and file Of the party will
not be consulted any more than they were
In the choice Of delegates to the late con-
stitutional convention. The county tickets
have been made out in every county where
there is the least hope for the success of
the Republicans. There are but few coun-
ties where the Democrats have evinced
sufficient vitality to talk of candidates as
yet The name OF S. l.. Taylor, of Bing
ham, has been mentioned in connection
with the governorship. AS to the United
States Senatorship, in case of Democratic
victory, Albert Hagan, of Kootenai, and
George Ainslie, Of this county. would
probably be the successful candidates. No
others have been talked of to any consider
able extent.
1t is very likely that most of the readers
of The HERALD have, by this time, heard
of
THE REAL ESTATE BOOM IN BOISE CITY.
None of the property has sold for an exces-
sively high price, not so high as would
naturally be expected in a town of 4. 900
population and capital city at that. The
town has been laboring under a depression
for the past four years, and the citizens
claim that real estate has not as yet reached
anything except its normal value During
the lively times of the past four weeks
nearly million dollars worth of property
has changed hands, and three additions
have been laid out to the city-tWo in the
east and one in the west end. A good resi-
dence lot may be purchased upon either of
these, not more than about half mile from
the postofiice, for from $50 to $3.50. This
does not seem TO indicate that the so called
boom has reached anything but its incipient
stage. All western towns of importance
have four or five booms and depressions
before the settling down to a permanent
and fixed value Of its real estate. Such
has been the case with all cities that have
been invaded by spectators from Chicago
to the western ocean. There have been
more permanent improvements in the
county within the last year than ever be-
fore. which has given an air of stability to
the country that it did not before possess.
But this ''boom,n as it is called, is not con.
fined to Boise city. It exists in both Nampa
and Caldwell, two other towns in this
county, and has extended even to ranch
property.
