In Luck,

At least one Ketchumite is in
luck. Dennis Shannon, Familiarity
known as Denny" patented piece
of land near Duluth, in 1857. Since
that time Duluth has been made
famous by Hon. Proctor Knott's
humorous and universally read
speech, and has become city. And
so it happens that Denny, who has
since been wanderer, seeking his
fortune in the silver and gold mines
of the far west, but all the time
paying his taxes on his land, has
become suddenly wealthy. His land
has been growing in value even as
he grew in years, but it's fortunate
owner was not fully apprised of its
increased value until within a few
days last past friend in historic
Duluth wired him not to dispose
of his land. This was done lest he
might under the circumstances, be
tempted to sell it for less than its
value. How few like Dennis Shan
non have the wisdom and foresight
to get and hold on to a piece OF
land but this is the shortest and
surest road to aff1uence.

Christmas Greeting.

A merry Christmas to all of the
readers of the KEYSTONE For
about 400 years the day we now
celebrate as the anniversary of the
birth of Jesus of Nazareth has been
regarded as day of rejoicing and
gladness by all peoples protesting
the Christian religion, and it is to-
day celebrated by more people than
any other holiday known to man.
That it is the anniversary of the
actual birthday of the man Jesus,
is disputed by many, but for the
pleasures of the occasion this ques-
ton is unimportant. The populace
has accepted the day, and the GUS
tom, one Of the most beautiful in
civilized life, is too we'll established
to be impaired by chronological
misgivings. Christmas day, as we
know and enjoy it, is social fact
that adds much to the pleasures of
life, especially in a land of long
winters and limited enjoyment, and
the recollections of the day and its
festivities and pleasant greetings
in the joyous time of childhood, are
fadeless GASES in the after life Of
almost every civilized human be-
ing. For we have all known and
enjoyed Christmas at some time in
our lives. Let us not forget it then
here in Ketchum nor neglect to do
what we can to make the day pleas
ant for all and joyous memory
to the little ones.

The Commercial Convention.

The Commercial Convention re-
Gently convened at Boise City has
done its work and adjourned. The
session was brief, but the list of
subjects coming before it was quite
long, and some of the suggestions
and recommendations made by it
highly important. Hon. John Hal
ley, one of the best known business
men in the state, was president. The
Columbian Fair, railroad tariffs,
irrigation, public lands, private aid
to railroads, and a railroad commits
sion were considered and acted on
by the convention, The committee
on the Columbian Fair reported
faverably of a liberal appropriation
for an exhibit at Chicago. Adopted.
The provisions of the State Con-
stitution relating to the taxation of
mines and mining improvements
were endorsed. The passage of a
law providing for the organization
of state and local board of trade
was recommended.
A committee on the Columbian
Fair was appointed consisting of
one member from each county. W.
H. Brodhead was appointed to rep
resent Alturas county.
Other committees were appointed
on immigration, public lands, mer-
chants licenses, mines and manu-
featuring and such other matters
as were affirmatively regarded by
the convention, and a summary of
the conventions proceedings pre-
pared, which, having been respect
fully rendered to the general assem-
bly, of the state, to the governor and
to the press, a vote of thanks to the
officers was passed and the conven-
ton adjourned sine die.

The Struggle is Over.

The struggle for the United States
Senatorship for the State of Idaho
is over. Dubois has gotten the six
years term, while Governor Shoup
and Mcconnell have the privilege
of drawing for the shorter terms,
for there are three Senators elected.
The shorter of the two terms will
expire on the 4th of March next,
and should that fall to Mcconnell
the northern part of the state will
still be left unrepresented in the
Senate. Shoup has been left to play
second fiddle to a chronic office
seeker, but the Federal and Utah
politicians have gained their point.
Their almost superhuman efforts to
elect Dubois were not prompted by
an excessive regard for the man,
nor upon any superior claims pos
sessed by him upon the people. He
possessed none. Neither did his
supporters care anything about the
miners, nor free lead nor any other
lead, though the "free lead' cry
was shrewdly used, and deceived
many. They had a more definite
and, to the republican party, a
much more weighty reason for elect
ing Mr.. Dubois than either high
tariff or the public veal. That
reason was that the party is in a
course of active disintegration and
desperate work must be done and
done quickly to save it from total
wreck and destruction. The force
bill must be passed, and Utah must
be admitted as a republican state.
Dubois being less scrupulous would
work more willingly and effectively
for the accomplishment of their
purposes than Shoup. Hence the
inexplicable interest of the Salt
LAX dailies in his behalf, and hence
his preferment to Shoup, who other
wise would have been the first
choice of his party.

Passed Away.

Once more has the grim visitor"
called, and another of Ketchum's
citizens has answered the summons.
An aged man has passed away.
Alexander Mills is no more. He
was born at Newcastle Tyne,
England; crossed the plains in
1852, and had lived to the ripe age
of 80 years. Thirty-three years of
his life were passed in California
four at Sacramento and the remain
ing 80 years at Knights Landing,
where he was a dealer in hardware.
From there he came to Idaho, ar
irving at Ketchum in 1885, where
he has resided ever since. Deceased
leaves wife and two sons, one OF
whom is a conductor on a passen-
ger train running out of the Need
les, San Bernardino county, Cali
fornia, and the other, Hon. George
Mills, is aresident of Ketchum, and
member of the Idaho Legislature,
now in session. The funeral obse-
quies, which took place on Monday,
of this week, were conducted by the
Masonic fraternity, of which body
deceased was member, and was
attended by a large number of
friends who sincerely regret the
death of neighbor SO we'll known
and generally esteemed. His death
resulted from exhausted vitality,
superinduced by old age, and the
quiet resignation which marked the
time of dissolution was fit end
ing to a life that had been both
useful and honorable. His aged
wife has the sympathy of all in her
hour of great bereavement.
