IDAHO NEWS.

! Blackfoot News: The commits
sioners are appraising the lots O
the Pocatello townsite with a rush
They tackled the easy side of tn,
job first, the outside lots.-A ru
NOR prevails in southeastern Idaho
that Judge Sweet, who will be {
candidate on the republican ticke
for congress, opposes a northern
Senator. That can hardly be thu
case, because any man in nortf
Idaho of sufficient ability to repre-
sent the new State in the United
States Senate must have a follow
ing at home and that following can
make it very lively for the Judge
before the convention, if it feels
called upon to oppose him for con.
gress. The News credits Judge
Sweet with more political sagacity
than that.-His Honor Judge
Berry, in a letter dated at Challis,
May 18th, to the Salt Lake Tribune,
does not conceal his belief that a
certain aspirant for a Judgeship in
this (prospective) State is misrep-
resenting him on the law of water
rights. After disclaiming any belief
of intentional misrepresentation on
the part of the Tribune, the Judge
says: "Not so with certain inter
ested parties and politicians, one at
least Of whom seems to be busy in
this matter. That man is a can
didate for a Judgeship in this
(prospective) State, and doubtless
thinks that misrepresentation is a
proper ladder on which to climb to
that office. 1t looks as though that
was his view, 1t may be the ap-
pearance is deceptive, and that he
is simply mistaken. But whether
mistaken or some other cause is
equally immaterial to me so far as
he or his:purposes are concerned"
That's plain talk and the public by
unanimous consent will accord to
that candidate for Judgeship the
floor for personal explanation.
The sergeant-at-arms will preserve
order while the candidate has the
floor.
Blackfoot News; The prospect
i've candidacy of Attorney Whittier
for judge of the district is making
some of the possible candidates for
the same Office a little FESTIVE. They
begin to discuss it and say the &C.
ceptance would mean a self-immo-
lation on the party altar for the
party's good. Well, somebody's
got to sacrifice himself and Mr..
Whittier as leader of his party,
being secretary of the central COM
mittee, it seems to US, might as we'll
make the sacrifice as anyone. Ju-
dicial ermine is not to be scoffed at
nor to be thrown off as worthless
thing. There may be no money in
the office but certainly lots O. honor
There may be some prospects
in the above, and that is all there
is in it.
Gilmore Bulletin Some beauti-
full specimens of ore, plainly show
ing gold, are daily picked from rock
taken from the Reeser tunnel, which
is being theoretically pushed into
the mountain above town by Rich
an and Cronin.-Joe Pearson
came down from the Queen of the
West mine last Wednesday all
wreathed in smiles. He and his
co-owners, Alexson & Adams, have
been industriously developing their
property all winter and are now be-
ginning to see daylight ahead
The owners of the Queen have con-
cluded that they have enough good
ore in sight to place them in COM
Portable circumstances, and are now
the tunnel and getting out
timbers with which to commence
stopping near the face of the tunnel.
They are experienced miners, work
in harmony, and will with little
hired help soon be able to keep
Reeser's mill running day and night
on Queen ore.--Foley Abbott has
completed his ferry boat at Jackson
crossing on the South Boise. It
floats like a duck and is now in
daily use. Mr.. Abbott has y num-
