Deep down in the corner of high old chest OF
drawers
That stands against the wall in ancient state
Is pair of little stockings rag-doH stuffed with
straw
And one little ragged shoe without a mate
Though many years have passed and gone
Since placed them there to keep,
They're just dear to look upon
As the day he went to sleep.
Sleep baby, seep-sleep that knows no waking
Sleep baby, sleep; slumbers soft ne'er breaking:
Happiness thine
Tears mine
Sleep. baby, sleep.
remember those two stockings hanging by the fire.

Where baby hung them for Santa Claus to fill,
While he wished to stay and get peep at his oil d
and wrinkled face
And the reindeer team that stood outside the sin
So look at them each Christmas time,
And listen while weep
To the ringing of that same old chime
When my darling went to sleep.
Seep baby, seep-sleep that knows no waking;
Sleep baby sleep; slumbers soft ne'er breaking;
Happiness thine,
Tears mine

RETROSPECT.

L.
The spring has come again, dear,
In sweet and str ange surprise
The blossoms bloom DER hill and field.
The green hills softly rise;
And all the air Is filed with sound
OF ripping brook and singing bird,
And where the wild flowers dot the ground
The bees low hum is family heard.
II.
Tho springtime of our youth dear,
1t lies far in the past
Its b eauty and its cherished bloom
Were all too sweet to last.
Though our hearts grow glad In springtime.
We miss the joyous thrill
That in those early happy days
OF hope our lives would fill.
III.
For we are growing old, dear;
Lies buoyant changes bring
No fresh return OF vanished years,
No gay and laughing spring.
Our flowers have all been cuIied dear;
The heights we both have tried;
The future holds no wondrous dream
OF power or fame or pride.
".
We are journeying down the slope, dear,
Where sunset shadows creep,
And drawing nearer to deaths sea
With weary, faltering feet.
But beyond the spring will dawn, dear,
In glorious brightness crowned,
And in that land OF joy and love
Our youth shall again be found.

Boise Sun: We are informed by
Deputy Sheriff Chapman of a sui
eide that happened at Pocatelle last
Thursday. A fellow by the name OF
Anderson entered saloon at that
place and asked for drink, and on
being refused, said he would kill him
self. No one supposed he was in
earnest, but he walked deliberately
towards an approaching freight train
and threw himself in front of the en-
gine. His body was thrown some
distance from the track, and when
picked up was lifeless.

DALLEs TINES -MoUNTAINEER: The
population of Washington shows a
wonderful increase, according to the
census. Although the State is not a
year old she has more residents than
Oregon, and her resources are in a
better state of development. The
Northern Pacific has been a great
factor In the growth of the new State,
and with its branch roads has opened
to settlement many points which were
isolated from markets. Ii the 0. R..
& N. Co. had pursued the same poll
cy in Oregon, the State would have
nearly doubled the population she
now has; but instead of this, the aim
of the company appears to have been
to concentrate trade and capital at
the terminal point. For this reason
there is such disparity between cit
les in this State. Portland has 35,-
600 population, and there is no other
city that has 10000. Every portion
of Washington has felt the thrill of
new life, and industries of all kinds
have received encouragement. Not
SO in Oregon. Washington means
the whole State; Oregon signifies
Portland and its suburbs.

IDAHO CrrY, Idaho, Aug. s. 80.

IDAHO CrY, Idaho, Aug s.. 80.
G. F. AsNETT, Manager Rocky
Mountain Bell Telephone Company,
Salt Lake, Ctah. Dear Sir: Learn
ing that you will soon make visit
to BOISE City in the interest Of the
Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone com
pany, it occurs to me that you would
render valuable services to yourselves
and our community by extending
your trip up through Boise county by
the way Of the "Basin," /" with the view
Of extending your line from Quartz
burg to Long valley by the way Of
Garden valley. distance being some
thirty miles. These two valleys are
among the most beautiful and fertile
in Idaho, and contain twelve or four
teen hundred people, and like other
valleys in our new State ars very
rapidly filling up. ! have lived in
both valleys, having taught the first
school in the former, and am very fa-
miliar with the country in each, since
/ have ridden on horseback over them
many times. More than one half,
and | believe three fourths of the
distance to Long valley, will not need
a pole for your wires, as the trees
along the route can be appropriated
for this purpose. This would throw
the people in communication with the
various mercantile establishments,
physicians, &C., along the line to
Boise City and to the county seat of
this county, all of which they stand
sorely in need. Our people will full
ly appreciate such a line, since it
seems an imperative necessity to
their convenience and they will pat
ronize it literally.
With but little work, coupled with
your judicious direction, one half of
the amount necessary would be sub
scribed IN money ard labor to com
plete the work, taking stock in your
company for same. for one will
head the list for s25, and will make
it $50 if needed.
You doubtless will remember our
somewhat extended correspondence
in relation to the Boise Basin line
(this improvement ] have many times
pointed to with no little pride) in
which predicted 'that for the cost
it would be one of the best paying in
our system OF the result of this fore
cast no one is a better judge than
yourself We may expect at least
as good results in the extension of the
line to the above. points.
The Elkhorn Mining company, of
which | am superintendent, is very
desirous of having telephone COM
munications with Idaho City, dis
tance of ten miles, and have in
structed me to take steps to this end.
l have also learned that the Wash
ington and Banner mines are desirous
of the same improvements; the for
mer is eight and the latter twenty
eight miles from Idaho City.
Should you look upon the CON-
munication favorably and conclude
to come and make reconnoisant sur
vey and inspection, | will, if you de-
sire 1t, accompany you to these vari-
GUS points.
Hoping for an early and favorable
answer, | am. SIT,

The Peoples Choice.

BOISE county Republicans are solid
for Dubois for one Of our y. S. Sena.
tors, and many Democrats will vote
for tile Republican nominees for the
Legislature for the reason that Du-
bois is their first choice, taking fol
granted, of course, that the Repub
lican nominees, if elected, will carry
out the wishes of the party, and vote
for Dubois. As Boise county stands,
50 does every county in the State.
with the possible exception of Ada,
and in that county the only organized
antagonism to Dubois is found at the
capital, and that antagonism is
founded on jealousies Of small bore
politicians, tricksters, little bosses
and great statesmen in the estimation
OF their own conceit. If Dubois is
beaten it will be by underhanded
trickery or money, or both. The
people as a whole are for him with
unbounded enthusiasm, and why they
are for him is easily understood and
easily answered. He has accom-
plished more for Idaho than any 9TH
er one man has ever done in any
public capacity. He is bright, ener.
getic, influential, straightforward, and
can always be relied upon to work
for the best interests of Idaho, and
to work necessarily. He is neither
a boss +" nor trickster, and al
though unassumlng, possesses the
merit that ought to win. Idaho needs
just such man for one of her Sena-
tors. Of all the towns in Idaho,
Boise, the capital, ought to be strong
est for Dubois. But for his unceas-
ing labors the northern counties of
Idaho would have been annexed to
Washington and the southern and
central counties to Nevada, and the
capital would have been removed to
a more central point, probably to
Winnemucca, the place selected by
Senator Stewart when it looked as if
his scheme would work. 1t is prob
able, however, that it will turn out
that the big noise against Dubois at
the capital is made by only a few,
who are looking to their own politi-
cal elevation solely, and Dubois pop
ularity is in their way. Again, it is
very probable that the opposition to
Dubois down there does not come
from the solid citizens of the capital,
but from those who have no interests
in Boise nor the State, further than
what they hope to make by wire
pulling and worming themselves into
office. II the antagonism comes from
that class alone, it will not count for
much. Their motives will be under
stood, and those whose first political
consideration is the welfare of the
State will not be influenced by lot
of small-calibre, would.be bosses.
