Opening of the Sub Tropical.

We extend thanks to the officers of the
Sub Tropical Exposition for season ticket.
This Exposition opens on the 9th inst.
There will be special exercises and attrac
tive features, consisting of grand civic,
military and trades display procession,
with the Governor, Staff and Cabinet,
and a large number of distinguished citi-
zens of the State.
The secretary in letter to the editor
says:
The Exposition this year promises to
excel that of any previous season in it's
entirety Owing to the very generous
premiums offered by the management,
the exhibits will be of very comprehen-
sive nature, every section of the State
being represented; and the products and
resources of Florida will be presented in
a most attractive and pleasing manner
Besides the ordinary attractions of the
Exposition, we shall have many special
features in the way of the most magnif-
cent music, balloon ascensiOns; novelties
in the way of trained animals, rare birds
and many other such specialties. The
Exposition season will close in April with a
grand Inter-Stated drill at whichprizes from
$4,000 to $4,000 will be offered. From
present indications, the attendance pro-

The Phosphate Discoveries.

| In a State where the application ofarti
fetal manures is so essential to the sue
cessfnl cultivation of the soil as it is in
Florida, it seems that the recently discov
cred beds of phosphate rock in Marion
Polk and fernando counties was an eff
fort of nature-and unquestionably a
wise one-to supply the deficiencies of the
soil.
These phosphate beds, which until re-
Gently were unknown, will, apparently
furnish an inexhaustable supply OF phos.
phate. Indeed, yet the extent of these
deposits have not been determined On
the subject one of our exchanges of re.
cent date says:
"The phosphate beds of Florida are at.
tracing wide attention. Recent discov-
cries of phosphate deposits SO extensive
and SO unlike the phosphate beds discOv-
cred elsewhere, on account of the richness
of the Florida phosphate and it's com.
pact state and EASY access, promise a
source of great wealth to the State.
"The discoveries of these phosphate de-
posits in the first two instances, and the
richest fields, were more by accident than
design. The State has never had com
plete geological survey, many people
thinking Florida is only a sandy PENN.
sula with no undeveloped source OF wealth
hidden beneath the surface; that the vast
timber acreage, balmy climate and trop-
ical surroundings. adapting it to the cul-
tivation of tropical fruits and vegetables
embraced all, that are calculated to make
the peninsular inviting to the touristand
the immigrants, but it appears that
while the commissions of nature covered it
with sand, they also consealed near the
surface extensive phosphate strata, sui
fcient to fertilize the State for years and
still yield it's vast surplus for less favored
agricultural sections.
''Mr. W. Prengle Frost, a fertilizer ex-
pert and chemist OF this city, had his
attention called to the phosphate dis,
coveries in Florida, and spent month
examining the fields, and he thinks the
greatest phosphate deposit in the world
is to be found in Florida on the Withla-
coochee River near Dunnellon, eighteen
miles from the Gulf Coast on a branch
road of the Florida Central and Peninsu.
lar, running from Ocala southwesterly to
the Gulf
"Mr. Frost says that the entire Gull
coast from Wakulla county, in the north
western portion of the peninsula, to Char
lotte Harbor, is phosphate bed, but the
Peace River and Withlacoochee River de-
posits, he thinks, are the only two thus
far discovered that can be remuneratively
worked on a large scale. He says that
Florida is more than the coral reef OF
sand bank that many imagine it to be
and that beds of gypsum, natural ce
ment and wonderful deposits OF phos
plate are found in the peninsula.
phosphate beds from sixteen to sixty
feet in depth, and extending in area Over
thousands of acres, he thinks points tt
the conclusion that the days of importa

become numbered with the things of thu
past"

Il Grateful Community.

When we contrast the situation of af.
fairs here now with their condition a
year ago-or even week ago-there is
good reason for genuine congratulations
all over Idaho County. Even as late as
the date of our last publication there
were grave apprehensions that we were
doomed to experience u repetition of
last years drouth. But the refreshing
rains have fallen abundantly. and still
promise more, and the faith of the peo-
pie in the grand future of this country
(which ,st years drouth had somew hat
weakened-is now more firmly rooted
than ever. Everybody is jubiIant at the
prospect of magnificent harvest. And
never did this lovely prairie look more
beautiful. 1t is now a carpet of flowers:
making evident our own creation
In these stars of earth-these golden
flowers"
And besides a large harvest from a
largely increased acreage, there are
equally substantial evidences of progress
going on all around us. The building
of the Salmon River wagon road is in
itself no slight undertaking, and cannot
but be of lasting and far-reaching bene.
Mt to this county. And apart from this
there Is another index that we are now
entering new era of growth, industrial
activity and unexampled wealth in the
shipment OF new mining machinery
by outside capitalists into our most iso-
lated and most distant mining CAMPS.
There are probably not twenty men on
Camas Prairie who could even approxi-
mately locate Alton district on the map.
and yet it is vast storehouse of miner.
al wealth in our own county, where the
representatives of outside capitalists
have been quietly working for years,
and developing the best body of silver
bearing ore ever discovered in Idaho.
We refer 10 the Cleyeland mine in
Alton district, which is owned by what
is probably the strongest incorporation
that ever operated in Idaho mining
property. The mine has been exploited
to show half million dol
lars worth of ore in sight. They are now
about to establish at the mine a twenty
stamp mill plant. which is in itself an
undertaking vast enough in the bare
contemplation thereof to stagger the
ordinary mining operator, who knows
the difficulties of Transporting machi-
merry into an isolated and rugged region.
The shipment of a mill into Warrens
for the Mayfower mine Is another in
stance that our mineral wealth is be-
coming known and appreciate abroad.
And indications are not wanting that
there will he transfers of mining prop
erty in the Elk City basin that will
transform that camp into a busy hive
of industrial activity.
Keep your eve on Idaho County.

Extending the Public Land SURVEYS,

Why cannot the residents on uh-sur
veyed lands in the White Bird neigh
borhood and along Salmon river make
application to have the public land sur
veyed and plated. so they can file and
make proof and secure patent to their
homes in legitimate manner. There
are now funds available for the purpose
in the hands of the surveyor-general,
and as this is an event that has not hap
pened for years. aud is very unlikely 10
happen again, We advise those interest
ed to avail themselves of this rare op-
portunity to have the public land sur
veys extended in that direction. We
have blank forms of petition and affida-
Wits sent us by the surveyor-general for
the use of applicants, and we will gladly
co operate 10 help the move along.
There is nothing more insecure than
squattei's title,and it may save many
sleepless nights of anxiety, and perhaps
much financial loss, if those who are
now living on un-suryeyed public land
will read carefully the surveyor-gen-
erals letter which We published last
week, and if their land comes within
It's provisions, to take without delay the
necessary steps to have it surveyed.

A WORTHY UNDERTAKING.

proceedings for publication but they
have not materialised yet. We under
stand that they intend offering a prize
Of twenty-five dollars for the best writ
ten essay descriptive of the resources of
Idaho County, with the intention of
subsequently, having it printed in PAM
phlet form for gratuitous distribution in
the eastern states. with the view of in
viting attention and attracting immi.
grafton hither. The idea is excellent.
and II the club carries it into effect we
want them to call on us for five dollars
as a reward for the writer of the second
best essay on the same theme. We
also ofier to print all the competitive
essays in the F. p. free of charge. And
lastly, we extend the free use ofthese
columns to advertise the conditions of
the competition, etc. And here it may
not be amiss to state that we saw both
Union Pacific and Northern Pacific off,
cials last winter concerning the distri-
button of pamphlets, etc., and were
assured in both instances that their ie-
spective roads would afford every iacil-
ity for their distribution, not only on
their own roads, but also Oh thir con-
nections further east. With these assur-
ances We certainly ought to proceed
with the publication.

Lewiston has long been famed for the

for the abominable quality of its drink

that visitors can mix them both with

THE City Council has let contracts to
provide the city with water, and within
ninety days they will have water sys-
tenn. The plan proposed is to pump
from wells located on the Lindsay place.
These wells will be cemented and so
arranged that no water from the river
can enter except through the bottom
The water will be pumped into a $50
foot reservoir at that point. This will
be head sufficient to supply the lower
town. The same pumping system will
supply another reservoir to be located
on the Rand place at an elevation of 800
feet; from this the fiat above will be
watered. Kalsomeine pipe will be used

In the event of our admission the peo-

their legislative delegation to work for
the exemption from taxation of farm

little reflection will show our local

About IdTinO Form Products

Speaking of the unreasonableness OF
expecting our people to raise and store
surplus of wheat or other farm produce
against the coming of the railroad, re-
minds us that in the Constitutional
Convention at Boise City last summer
the editor of this paper introduced and
fought for the adoption of a substitute
for section of Article VII, providing
that FARM PRODUCTS WHILE IN THE HANDS
OF THE PRODUCER SHALL DE EXEMPT FROM
TAXATION. Speaking in support of the
substitute We cited the condition of af-
fairs on Camas Prairie, and even in 10.
caliiies situated nearer to transportation
facilities than we are, where the farm
ers are compelled to hold their produce
owing to the vicissitudes of climate. or
the market fluctuations, which made it
Improbable to sell, and of the injustice
of taxing farm products on general prin-
ciples. We cited the further fact that
the farming community throughout the
state of California never had been so
prosperous as since the adoption of the
new constitution in that state with simi-
lar mandatory exemptions. Our sub
sttute met with much favor, but was f.
nally loaded down with so many amend
ments providing for the exemption from
taxation of SO many different varieties
of property that if they had all been
adopted there would have been nothing
left 10 tax, and SO the entire subject of
exemptions was remanded to the state
legislature, and it is useless to look to
that body for relief, because under the
constitutional gerrymander the agricul-
