The Democratic candidates for speak
er of the House of the FIfty-Second
Congress are more numerous than flies
around q molasses tank in summer time.
Mills, of Texas, Bynum, of Indiana,
and Springer, of Illinois, are those most
frequently mentioned in the newspap-
ers for the place, but a score or nor OF
lesser lights are being carefully groomed
and put in condition to be made ''avail-
able" For q Democratic majority, and
to more thoroughly represent the true
policy of the party on the tariff ques-
tion-Free Trade Roger Q. Mills is by
odds the most available" of the lot.
And, besides, he is a typical representa-
tive of the original Southern Democracy
bone and sinew of that organiza-
ton in the Nation. Mills should have
no difficulty in securing the coveted
prize of Speaker. Northern Democrats
will have to submit to Southern dirta-
ton now as formerly.

A UNBER of the Minnesota papers are

A NUMBER OF the-MlnDesoLa papers are
charging the Pioneer Press with the de-
feat of the Republican party. This is
according the P. P. entirely too much
credit. Undoubtedly its strong leaning
to the side of free trade mas had its I'M
say that is influence is SO great as to
rob the Republicans of four oftheir con
gressmen, q majority Of the Legislature,
and almost the entire state ticket, is too
much. The P. p. was simply among
the disgruntled. Itonly contributed It's
share to the general opposition waged
against the party. If it is proud of its
victory, very well.

THERE is nothing to hinder Mankato
from going ahead and making one of
the busiest, as it is the prettiest, cities
In Minnesota, except the Indifference
of her citizens. A point has been reach
ed IN her progress which warrants the
liberal Investment of capital, and the
united energies of her citizens. If the
spirit which controls other thrifty towns
could only be exercised here Mankato
would distance all competitors. She is
located most avorably. is surrounded
by the best section of country In the
state, and with half q show would make
q grand and thrifty city. A "dog-in-the
manager" policy never did and never
wilr.make q city.

The celebration yesterday at Co

anniversary of the birth of Hon. Allen
q. Thurman, was an occasion which
called together thousands Of the admi-
rers and warm personal trends of the

has been one of those steadfast defenders
of democracy through all lis years of
defeat, and he now, 81 the age of nearly

An Awful Fate.

Rexburg Press.
Some three weeks ago, Mr.. ii. H.
Hamilton, of Marymere. partner
of Mr.. J. D. Sargent, left home on
horseback on an errand to be gone
two or three days. AS he did not
return for a week, fears were enter
tanned that he was lost in the noun
tains, or some wild animal had
made way with him.
Search was instituted, Mr.. Sar-
gent organized parties and sent
them out in different directions.
Their efforts were at last rewarded
by the awful discovery OF the dead
horse at the bottom of the cliff,
with the saddle under the belly OF
the horse, and Immediately below
was the turbulent South Forth OF
the Snake, which is at this place
was very deep and rapid.
The conclusions reached was that
the horse had missed his footing
and fell down the cliff, throwing
it's rider in the stream while 1t
alighted on the ledge where found.
The body Of Mr.. Hamilton has
not been recovered as yet.
Much sympathy is felt for the
relatives and friends. He only
recently arrived from New York
to engage in business with his
bosom friend j. d. Sargent, who
is frantic over the affair.
At the time of going to press, no
further tidings have been heard Of
the missing man, and the statement
above made, it is feared, is true.

Gen. Roberts Consults a Clairvoyant.

! Blackfoot News.
Madame Mizpah, a travelling
prophet and clairvoyant "who has
the power Of any two clairvoyants
you ever met" and who is no W in
camp at Eagle Rock, but enquired
if there was a marshal in town
before she pitched her camp, is
thus endorsed, according to her
posted bills, by Gen. Roberts
Republican nominee for Attorney
General of the State of Idaho.
And to emphasize the endorsement
the General gives his title of office,
and to further emphasize it, he
adds his former title in Nebraska.
If Harry Bennett were here he
might add his endorsement" too,
but here is the Roberts card:

HALEY, Idaho, July 20, 1887.
My Dear Madam have no
hesitation in saying that / regard
you as possessing wonderful powers
as a clairvoyant, for certainly YOU
told me many things that occurred
in my boyhood days not known
outside my immediate family and
without any knowledge of who I
was-my nomination and election,
and present affairs, without any
question in reference thereto hay
ing been asked. You have wonder
full gifts of fortelling-how acquired
and from what source know not
and care not.
Your obedient servant,

ness portion, while the Board of
Trade have Sc far this year spent
over $3,00Oin the construction and
betterment of wagon roads leading
into town.
The churches, of which there
three, are not behind in the general
activity of the city. The congre-
cations have an increase in num-
bers as we'll as an addition to mem
bership. In her brief history
Caldwell has spent over $4,000 in
church buildings and furnishings,
a number of improvements are now
pending in this line. The school
building has cost about $1,000, and
the school which commenced a
week ago numbers 203 pupils
which no doubt will be increased
to $50 within few weeks, as a
great many families from the out
side send their children here dur
ing the winter.

The Idaho Potato.

Quite number of the Salt Lake
commission men are turning their
attention to the Idaho potato. The
crop in that state is unusually good
and in consequence they can be
bought for ] cent per pound. In
Utah the potato is worth nearly
double that sum. The demand
from the east is however, enormous.
Every day brings orders from the
Mississippi valley states in such
numbers that the supply is exhaust
ed before the orders are half filed.

Leader was in Caldwell last Sun.
day and was surprised at the ac-
tivity and life displayed in that
town. Outside of Weiser there is
more activity in Caldwell than
any other Idaho town on the Short
Line.
The Isham, Hoover and Masonic
bricks are nearing completion and
are handsome structures; they will
add several thousands of dollars
to the valuation of town property.
THE TRIBUNE office is an aston
Usher for so small a town. The
amount of material and machinery
in use would do credit to a large
city Office. Their job department
is the completest in the state.
The new railroad depot is a neat
and costly structure and is far
more convenient than the old barn
formerly used.
The Caldwell Brass Band is
undoubtedly the finest in tie state
and probably the equal of any on
the coast, and the people of that
town have just cause to be proud of
their cornet blowers. Great praise
is due to Hank Dorman, the leader,
for the proficiency and accuracy to
which he has brought them.
The Pacific hotel is now being
run in first class manner and the
former inconvenience in securing
accommodations for visitors is no
longer felt.
There were probably several
other interesting items to be had
but the angel was SO deeply inter
ested in some other ''angels" that
he failed to catch on to them"

One of the largest real estate
transfers ever made in this county
was consumated a few days ago in
this city. The Idaho and Oregon

of Leavenworth, Kansas, sold to

and Monte B. Gwinn, controlling

sisting of 1850 lots in the city of
Caldwell, 440 acres of land adjoin-
ing the city and the Caldwell Canal
which has a carrying capacity of
nearly $4,000 inches of water which
will be made available at once for
water power about quarter of a
mile east of the city on the bluff,
where an almost perpendicular fall
of nearly flfty-ive feet can be at
tanned. The canal is already
built to this point and only needs
enlarging, which can be done with
very little expense. From the
point where the water power is to
be created to the river it is only
about six miles, so the ditch can
be kept open in winter without
scarcely any expense.
Negotiations for the establish
ment of a Wooden Mill have been
pending for some time and likely
TO be closed very shortly.
One thing is certain, the new
town company, the management of
which is now entirely in the hands
of Caldwell men who are acquaint-
ed with the needs of the country
will push every enterprise, aud
bring Caldwell to the front, with
that energy that is characteristic
of Caldwell business men.
Building and improvements this
year are far greater than st any
time in the history of the city.
For business buildings over $25, 900
is being spent. The railroad has
erected one of the neatest and
most commocious of depots, costing
about $1,000. One contracting
firm has so far erected about ten
dwellings,, costing from $1,000 to
$4,000 each. The city has spent
several hundred dollars in improv-
ing the streets, and has Just ordered

The Decrease in Range Supplies.

National Stockman.
Live stock journals of the far
West claim that the numbers of
cattle on the ranges have been fall
ing off SO largely in the last few
years that the aggregate totals now
are several million head less than a
few years ago. This is perhaps
correct. The reduction in numbers
has resulted from several causes,
which we have discussed in these
columns from time to time, and
has been positive, having been suf-
fciently marked in the last year or
two to remove all question about
it. The natural result of this must
be (indeed it cannot be otherwise)
that the surplus of cattle which
has been weighing on the trade so
heavily for number of years will,
one of these days, disappear. This
is certainly as inevitable as any
other positive thing which is bound
to occur. When that time comes
cattle prices will, of course, SUBJ
stantially advance. Conditions are
such that the ranges are not likely
to be again filled up as they have
been with live stock, and this
ought to insure prevention of the
recurrence of any such wonderful
multiplication in numbers as has
taken place in the last ten years.
