STATE WAGON ROAD BILL.

ne State wagon road bill is still
before the committee in the SENATE
ahd It Is not known on what day the
vote VIII be taken. The people of
all sections of Boise county say sslet
the bill pass" and this is the senti.
'@ent all over the county, even in the
sections that would derive no more
direct benefit frcm the eonstrnct;o,
OF this highway than those parts Of
Idaho furthest from the proposed
route OF the road. The idea is to
ou'id up the State, develop her re-
sources and add wealth and popula-
ton, and this can be ACCOMPLISHED no
Surer' quicker, nor on any grander
scale than by the construction of this
road. The results would be like the
work of magic. Central Idaho is bv
'ar the richest portion of the State
mere Is one, and only one drawback
to its rapid development. 1t is mi
nus one prerequisite to the prosperi-
ty OF any country, though that coun-
try be the richest in natural resonr.
ces the sun ever shone upon. That
is a road-wagon road or railroad.
In country like Central Idaho
wagon road must of necessity be the
forerunner of railroad. This road
will have to be put through before
that country can add much to the
wealth and glory of our young State.
Ii not constructed by the State the
present generation will in all proba-
blllty not see road in there. Can
ltalists will not invest in those dis
tricts. Pack trails are not entlcinp
to them. We now have a State
and we ought to pull together to build
it up and make it what it Is capable
of becoming with progressive legisla-
ton. The rustling, energetic els-
ement of Idaho, whose motto is ''on-
ward and upward" want no penny
wise and pound foolish policies to
continue to hold back the progress of
the State. Let mossbackism 60 to
the rear.

DID you ever note the fact that
when an appropriation is proposed
for county or State Improvements,
and Improvements that would in a
very few years return the amount ap-
propriated and ten times over, the
loudest opponents are almost invari-
ably those who pay no taxes, never
did aud never will, if the future in
such instances is to be judged by the
past? 1t is not on account of the
taxes they vainly imagine they will
have to pay, but just simply to make
loud display of their great insight
into political economy, and advertise
their keen abilities to see things as
others can't see them, and lastly, to
show where the "noss" grows most
luxuriantly.

THE WORLD, last Tuesday, with
one stroke of the pencil, reduced the
Banner mill from 2O-stamp to 10
stamp. In mentioning that the mill
turned out 10000 ounces of silver
in 10 days it was incidentally stated
that the mill was a 10-stamp. 1t
should have read 20stamp. There
are not many mines that can discount
the Banner and Wolverine very much
One thousand ounces per day with a
20-stamp mill is pretty good.

BILL NYE's LITTLE JOKE.
He Turns the Tables on the Boys
in a Mining Camp.

They were sitting in the lobby of
Young's reading the papers and en-
joying their cigars. One was mid
die aged, pleasant faced man, who
was reading Bill Nye, and chuckling
softly to himself as he read. HIS evil
dent enjoyment pleased the other
members of the little group, and they
began to smile.
Finally the middle aged man 6n-
ished his story and tossed the paper
aside with laugh. Then he turned
to his neighbor and said:
Il always make it point to read
Bill Nye's letters every week. They
always amuse me, and never read
one without thinking of the first time
ever saw Bill. 1t was in a little
western mining camp. was then
looking after some mining interests,
and | guess Bill was there for the
same purpose. At any rate he was
there. Well, the only common meet
ing place in the camp was the bar
room of the rough board shauty that
served for a hotel. Bill was ia the
habit of strolling in there of an even
ing with the rest of the fellows. He
was tall and lank, and awkward as a
young calf, and the men used to chaff
him numerically. He always bore
it good naturedly, and had very little
to say.
"One evening we were sitting
around, as usual, with one or two
quiet little games going on, when
Nye walked in and took seat in
corner. The boys began to joke and
chaf him as usual, but he paid no at
tention, and finally bent over and
rested his face in his hands with a ter
ribly sorrowful air. Pretty soon a
tear trickled down his cheek. That
changed things at once One of the
men touched him on the shoulder and
said: "What's the matter, pard?
You mustn't mind our chin. We
didn't have no intention of hurting
your felIings.'
"Bill shook his head sadly and said:
No, 'taiut that. It's my pard, poor
John. Poor, poor John! My best
friend has turned up. His spirit de-
parted an hour ago
"Wsll, the boys were a good deal
taken abaek. Bills pard was ten
der-foot by the name of John Stover,
who had come out for his health as
much as dust. He was there in the
barroom the night before, and of
course we were surprised to hear that
he'd passed in bis checks. Somebody
proposed that we go over and see the
remains, so we formed little process
sion, and Bill led the way.
"Whea we reached the little shanty
Bill pushed open the door, struck a
light, and led US to the bed. He
pulled back the blankets and pointed
to big empty demijohn lying there.
There said he, is the body OF my
poor old pard. His spirit has hsd.'
"Nobody else had a word to say.
We just marched back to the barroom,
and if Bill Nye didn't get full that
night he had pretty strong head.
And he didn't have to pay for any
/ liquor all the time he staid in that
camp."-Boston Herald.

give way to the requirements of the
day in which we live. The West is
the sufferer, as the needs of her in
dustrIal and commercial fife are con-
stantly lost sight of in these protract-
ed struggles of purely political
character.
The silver bill will pass if it comes
to vote-and | think 1t will. Speak

phase OF the question was speculation
week ago; to-day 1t is known fact.
General Ben Butler was on the floor
of the House Friday. He sat in the
lobby on the Democratic side. He
is now an old man and does not trust
himself to move about without the
support of the strong arm of his faith
full colored servant. As he is one of
the Democratic brethren now, they
never hint New Orleans to him, nor
cry Spoons" as they used to do
when he hurled his keen shafts of wit
and sarcasm at them from the Re-
publican side of the House. The old
mans days are nearly ended; and al
though he to-day passes by on the
other side, his fame must rest on what
he did, or failed to do, in his fights
with the ''brigadiers" when he was a
member of the great Republican
army. w. S.

No SENATOR ever arose to national
prominence more rapidly than Sena-

up on his merits. Some men when
put to the test, fall short of what was
expected of them, while others show
qualifications that they were not gem
orally known TO possess. Mcconnell
Is OF the latter class. 1t is an old say
Ing that circumstance make the man.
0ut this is not true. Circumstances
merely bring to light both the strong
ana weak points in man, and show
what he really is. Mcconnell is a
new Senator, but he already stands

'o" Mills Lost His Temper and Good
Sense.
General Butler Visits the House
HOW Long IL Takes to Approve
the JOurnai-Other Inter-
esting News

Statesman.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The two
Houses OF Congress have just closed
week of angry discussions and
stormy scenes. The telegraph has
already told you that no progress was
made IN the work of practical legisla-
ton, and that members we're noisy
and abusive. But no pencil can give
to your readers anything like
AN ACCURATE PICTURE
OF the violent exhibitions witnessed
in the House on Tuesday and
Wednesday last. Old members tell
me that nothing like it occurred dur
ing the fierce struggle of the last ses-
sion.
All OF last week had been spent in
hllbustering. Nominally, the appro-
priation bill for the District of Colum-
bia was before the House. But dur
ing week OF talk and roll calls, the
bill was scarcely mentioned. Mon
day OF this week the bill was passed
under the rule providing for the en-
forcement of the previous question.
Tuesday the riotous scenes mentioned
began. Mills seemed to be in charre
of the Democratic forces and started
in to prevent the
APPROVAL OF THE JOURNAL.
1t sometimes takes three hours to ap-
prove the journal, when no question
IS raised as to its accuracy. One
would naturally suppose that if a
member objected to approving the
record Of the previous days proceed
ings, it would be because those rec
ords had not been correctly kept.
Not SO for purposes of delay. No
question is raised as to the correct
ness of the record. A member OBJ
tains the floor and makes vigorous
speech against the shipping bill; the
elections bill is the subject for anoth-
er, and thus several hours are con
sumed in what the country under
stands to have been a discussion of
the record. The Journal is finally ap-
proved. 1t has taken three hours to
reach and conclude the vote, and, as
before stated, its accuracy was never
questioned. 1t is not, and has not
been customary to read certain de-
tails of the previous days proceedings,
such as memorials, petitions, etc. All
of these

DETAILS ARE PRINTED,

but the reading of them is usually dis
pensed with for the purpose of saving
time. On this eventful Tuesday, Nc
kinley moved the previous question
on the approval of the journal. Mills
demanded the reading of the details
above mentioned. The speaker or
dered the clerk to proceed with the
reading, in accordance with the de-
mand made by Mills. When the
reading was concluded the speaker
said; "The question is, shall the
journal be approved" On the pre-
vious question, forty minutes "debate"
would have been allowed. Mills said;
"Mr. Speaker, the motion for the pre-
vious question, proposed by the gen
tleman from Ohio, is now before the
House. The speaker explained that
the motion was submitted but not
seconded nor considered, owing to
the demand for the further reading of
the journal. Mckinley confirmed the
speakers statement. Mills had lost
his point. He was furious and
LOST ALL CONTROL
over his tongue and person. He
rushed down the aisle, shook his fist
at the speaker and yelled: You are
perpetrating fraud upon the House" )"
Struble, from the Republican side,
cried '.Chestnutsw Meantime, Mills,
now utterly beside himself, was rush
ing up and down the Democratic side,
screaming at the top of his voice and
swinging his clenched fists high above
his head. The Democrats were cheer
ing, the speakers gavel was thunder
ing for order, while from the Repub-
licans, taunts, jeers, and cries OF reg
ular order" added to the confusion.
Gradually, the members of both par
ties had been gathering on their re
spective sides of the center aisle.
The situation was now threatening,
and the
CLIMAX WAS REACHED
when Kerr of Iowa, shook his fist
across the aisle at Mills and cried:
This is treason; and, sir, it is not
the first time you have played the
role of traitor" You are traitor

rest of his reply was lost in the din

The crop report for October LIST, based upon
carefully compiled figures, which are at least
approximately accurate was issued on Satur-
day and it shows condition of affairs in one
respect at least different from what has been
generally expected. Thus the general volume
of the crops is much larger than was supposed.
The Agricultural Department. which for
merly estimated the yield OF wheat at four
teen bushels per acre have been compelled to
revise their figures, and now estimate it at
fifteen bushels Instead. therefore, of crop
Of $50, 900, 900 bushels. there Will be crop of
at least 5ss.9OO.O 900 bushels, difference of
nearly forty million bushels.
The surplus from last years crop amounted
to 20 ,O)O, 900 bushels. Adding this surplus to
the crop of the present year the wheat
growers Of the United States during the
course of the last twelve months have been
in possession of not less than COS. 900 900
bushels. of which only 365,000,000 will be
needed to cover what will he used in con-
sumption and for seed This will leave a..
0C0, 600 bushels OF wheat for sale to foreign
countr es.
While the heavy exports which marked the
course of the summer months have declined
somewhat the shipments continue to bs on
very great scale with a promise or an enor-
nous increase at an early LAY.
The yield in oats will be larger than was
at first estimated by 6O0OO, 900 bushels, and
the same will be true. in q smaller measure.
Of barley. The yield of corn. il is now
thought. VIII reach 1850. 900. 600 bushels, and
there is some ground for anticipating that
the yield will be even larger During the
last nine years the average yield has been
,735. 900, 900 bushels. so that the crop of this
year is in excess Of the average crop by al
least so, 900 900.
The showing for cotton is not SO favorable.
the official report foreshadowing a shortage
of million bales as compared with the crop
of last year. 1t is doubtful however. whether
this will be any real disadvantage, as it will
serve to increase the price of the cotton
raised, which has for some time ranged at low
figures on account Of the enormous volume
of last years crop.
