The President Signs the Bill.

WASHINGTON. July 3.-The president
signed the act for the admission of Ida
ho as state at 10 o'clock this morning.
Dispatches from different portions of
Idaho state that the signing of the bill is
being enthusiastically celebrated.
Five stars will be officially added to
the flag of the United States to- morrow,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana,
Washington and Idaho. Before Wy
oming's star is placed on the banner of
the Union another Fourth of July will
have to come. as on that day the stars
for the new states are officially added.
The reason for the presidents action
in signing the idaho bill to day was an
Interesting one. The president,it seems,
found that the law ordained that the
new stars should be placed upoA the
American flag for each new state on the
Fourth of July succeeding it's admission
to the Union. The president left it to
Dubois, delegate from Idaho, whether to
have the bill signed at once and get the
star, or leave the star over until July 4
1891. Dubois chose the star now, and,
as a result the bill was signed, and forty.
three stars are due upon the flag to-mor.

An Indication of Prosperity.

Hon. j. M. Howe is special
census enumerator, and for
several days past has been ma
king an abstract of mortgages
from the county records for
census purposes, and he in
forms us that judging the fl
nancial condition of Idaho
County by the records, it is in
the healthiest condition of any
County in the Territory. The
mortgages are surprisingly few
when compared with our pop
ulation and the amount of our
agricultural lands, to say no.
thing of such Incidental disad-
vantages as the absence of a
market, etc. Perhaps the fact
that there are no railroad land
grants in Idaho County may
account for its prosperity. In
the railroad counties whole
townships of railroad land are
mortgaged to the railroad and
money loaning companies for
ten, twenty, and even thirty
dollars an acre, and it is only
a question of time till they
foreclose these mortgages and
get the land, and then intro
duce the tenant farming" sys-
tenn. In Idaho County the peo-
pie own their own lands; which
is just the difference between
prosperity and poverty.

THE STATE OF IDAHO.
The President Signed the Ad-
mission Bill, July 8, 1890.
How the Bill Passed The Senate

WASHINGTON, d. c., July q
Idaho had an easy time of it at the
hands of the senate. The democrats,
who are constitutonally opposed to ad
mitting new states with republican ten
dencies,exhausted their objections when
the Wyoming bill was under discussion
last week, and it was as easy thing for
Idaho TO come in as going down a
toboggan slide.
Senator Cullom was in the chair when
the bill came mp to-day. Its title was
read and Mr.. Cnlom repeated the usual
formula for bills unohjected to, and on
which no one wants to make a speech.
Nobody objected to the third reading
and engrossment. and so no argument
was presented. The latter was read for
for the last time, and Mr.. Cullom said:
Shall the bill pass? The senators in
the affirmative will! say aye. and the
senators in the negative shall say no."
The strong voice of Mr.. Edmunds as he
said AYE" was all the response, and SO
the bill WAS passed without a roll call or
single vote.

The Glorious Fourth of July.

Writing up Fourth of July celebra'
ton for publication week after it is all
over is very much like eating cold
breakfast on a cold morning. The cele-
bration this year did not differ materi-
ally from those of former years. The
crowd was hardly as large as that of last
year but it was more sociable. The
procession formed in Grangeville ut
9.3O and was half mile long. The ex-
erclses at the grounds passed of very
smoothly. The band and the speakers
were never in better form and acquitted
themselves with great satisfaction to
the audience. The liberty car WIS a
pretty sight with its bevy of bright
eyed young lassies of the town and
country representing the states of the
Union. Six horses were hitched to it,
and Vanness handled the lines with his
customary skill and brought his pre-
eious freight back to town without
mishap of any kind.
Frank Whites team of six mules
pulled the band wagon to the grounds.
Sixty-six tickets were sold for the
dance, and dancing was kept up till
four O'Clock Saturday morning
The night of the 4th l44 persons were
served with supper at the Jersey house.
The weather was superb, but a little
rain fell in the afternoon and sent many
people home ahead of time.
The afternoon amusements were held
on Main street and were witnessed by
several hundred people. Our report OF
the sports and winners is crowded out.
The members of the Fairview Farm
ers' Club we're out in force with the q.
nest banner on the grounds.
Mr.. Chase's address is highly spoken
OF as being very thoughtful and afford
Ing much food for reflection.
School district No. IL, under the care
OF Mr.. Larmer, was quite a feature Of
the procession.
The reading of the Declaration of In
dependence is trying test, but Miss
Shissler stood tho test admirably, and
her articulation was as distinct and clear
at the end as at the beginning.
Mr.. Parker opened his Grafton with
specification of the enlarged duties and
responsibilities of citizens now that they
were living in sovereign state. This
was the first intimation great part Of
the audience had, that Idaho had been
admitted into the Union as state.
Mr.. Weller, as president of the day.
appointed G. S. Bates, of Cottonwood, as
marshal Of the day, and he and his
deputies were invaluable in organising
and starting the procession.

The WaOOn Road Commission.

The Warrens mail carrier
brought word on his arrival
here last Saturday that the
wagon road commissioners had
located the road from Meadows
to the Warm Springs by a new
route which had reduced the
distance between these points
to 3oa miles, thus saving l21
miles over the old route. The
new route takes up Goose
creek to its head, and thence
follows a low divide and finally
strikes the i'ayette river at the
upper end of the Little Payette
Lake. If this is so it will be a
big saving in the total cost of
the road, because it does away
with the long and difficult fif-
teen miles through the canyon
which connects the upper and
lower lakes, and which has al
ways been regarded as imprac-

ticable for a wagon road be-
cause of the nature of the
ground, which necessitated
either a too frequent crossing
of the river, where the bridges
would have been likely to go
out in every spring freshet or
to have been crushed in with
the weight of fsnow which falls
there, or the building of the
road on the high water route
along the side hills, where it
would be in danger of snow
slides, etc.
Having completed their la
bors as far as the Warm Springs
the commissioners went into
Warrens to spend the Fourth.
They may be looked for here
any day. Mr.. Wiley wrote us
the other day that they were
figuring on an iron bridge
across Salmon River. Next
week we hope to publish an
interview with the commits
sioners showing the entire
route they have decided on
and other official data concern
ing the building of the road.

Live stock of all kinds are selling at
very reasonable prices just at present,
and prospects are favorable for a con-
tinuation of the demand and perhaps a
raise in the price. The heavy losses of

kinds of stock, and the demand at pres
ent is greater than the supply. Hon.

Praise for Senator Dnhnia

Delegate Dubois, or, rather, ex-Dele-
gate Dubois, is one of the happiest men
in Washington to- day. Early yester-
day lie carried the bill TO the president
and requested that it be signed on the
Fourth of July. The president inform
ed him that if the bill was signed on the
Fourth year would expire before the
star was placed on the flag. Dubois
waited until to-day, and decided that lie
preferred to have the bill signed so as to
come in on the flag, and the president
agreed with him. He took a stub pen
and common wooden holder and signed
the bill and gave the pen to Mr.. Dubois,
and Idaho was state The pen and
holder will be presented to the state by
ez-Delegate Dubois, who will leave on
the 9th for Idaho.
He thinks the state election will be
held about the 10Th of October. When
asked If he was candidate for senator.
Mr.. Dubois said that he had not vet
stated to anyone that he was candidate.
He believed the people of Idaho owed
everything TO the republicans and that
their best interests would be served by
sending republican to congress, and he
would devote his influence to that end.

letters to-day, and says that everybody

than likely that Mr.. Dubois and Gov
ernor Shoup will be the first senators.

The RattrOdd to GrangeUille.

A good many Lewiston peo-
pie are quietly pricing certain
properties in Grangeville. with
the intention ofpurchasing. 1t
is an understood thing down
there that when the railroad is
built to Camas Prairie it will
be built to Grangeville. And
why not? Grangeville and Ca
mas Prairie are synonymous
terms, and it is not likely that
the principal trading point in
the county will be overlooked
when the distribution of rail-
road depots is made. All the
talk about the railroad build
ing its own town out in the
middle of the Prairie, where
there is neither wood, water
nor business, is pure folly.
Railroads don't climb steep
mountains and then stop ten
or fifteen miles short of their
best country, when they can
60 on and occupy it as well as
not. There is room on Camas
Prairie for a half dozen good
towns when the railroad gets
here, and it is just as easy for
all hands to help build each
other up as it is to pull each
other down.
