Pink Snow in Colorado.

ASPEN, Col, April 10.-The miners at Ma
room Gulch, short distance from this city,
report a heavy fall of pink snow in the
vicinity of the gulch. The miners on emerg-
ing into the open air about p. m. found the
sky beautiful red. They thought great
storm was approaching, but in few min
utes snow of delicate pink hue commenced
falling. Ere long everything was covered
with pink snow about an inch deep, and this
remained until next day, when it was covered
with white snow. The solution of this strange
phenomenon, is that the snow falls through
myriads of minute pink colored insects, that
exist there in great numbers, and that the
snow takes its color from contact with them.

II is a fact that no Democrat vo-
ted for a Republican on any ballot
for Idaho United States Senators,
and most of them had expressed
themselves openly never to vote for
any but Democrats. They consid-
cred the fight among Republicans
alone. who will be held responsible
before the people. The result will
be that two years hence Idaho will
go Democratic. There is now a
breach in the Republican ranks that
can never be closed. The friends OF
Mr.. Claggett feel, and justly, too,
that he was used in the campaign,
and his claims for the senatorship
are almost totally ignored. They
will certainly retaliate when oppor-
tunity offers.

LETTER FROM THE CAPITAL.
BOISE Cry, Dec. %.

DOiSE SAhfs hcC. 80.
To THs nuLLzrtS;
Now that the Senators for Idaho
have been chosen, the great public
excitement has gone down; but not
until a fine torchlight procession
had paraded the town with a bril-
liant display Of bonfres and rockets
and had shown the people how pop
uIar our Senator's are.
The Legislature has adjourned
till January 9Th, and most Of the
Solons have gone home.
BY the way, Representative King
said TO me in recent conversation
that he wished he might be able to
get to the Bar during this recess
but he has not time. But he wishes
the people Of Rocky Bar and vi
cinity TO remember him now that he
is elected as they did on election
day, and il we have any bills To be
introduced to send them to him;
that he is not the member for
Glenn's Ferry. but the member for
all Gilmore, and is anxious to do his
best for his constituents.
No one doubts that SenatorWhite
will do his part in the upper house.
| have not had much of talk with
Representative Ethel, but he is a
fair and square man even if lac was
county commissioner once.
A great many of the Bar boys are
in the city: Wickersham with his
ungodly big cigar-holder, Ed Meek
Bill Macky, Wilcox, Thomas, Can
adas, shorty" Uncle Dick Ire
gaskis and number of others.
Everybody seems satisfied will
the city. and it is very pretty plac'
indeed. The streets are well fillet
: with teams and people hurryini
here and there--all busy and,
hope, making money.
Railroads are all the talk. and j
is certain that Boise will soon be OF
trunk line. This is all the plac
needs to make il second Spokane
for we have the people and the re
sources TO boom and support full
: fiedged city. FRANK t. WYMAs.
