IT has been suggested that the mana
gers of the Epworth Park Assembly al
Burr's Mills would do well to 90 slow il
the matter of diverting the grounds al
that place from the purposes for which
they were originally bought. The Burr's
Mills camp ground was purchased sever
al years ago by an association, and was
designed for camp meeting purposes sole
ly. According to the terms of the origi-
nal agreement, when such grounds ceas-
ed to be used for camp meeting purposes,
the grounds were to be sold, and the pro
ceeds were to revert to the original stock
holders. This agreement intended that
the grounds should be devoted to camp
meeting purposes in the original inter
probation of the term, and to make a
summer resort out of it, or to change the
character of the annual meeting at that
place, is clear violation, or evasion, if
you wish, of the design of the original
purchasers. If no more camp meetings
are to be held there, it would seem that
the grounds should be sold, according TO
the terms of the contract. The grounds
are not the property of the Church, but
owned by a private association, which
would prevent the Church from legally
using them for any other purpose than
holding a camp meeting.

lDAHO'S FUTURE.
The Third Bullion Producer in the United
States-Wagon Roads and Rail-
roads Needed.

Walla Walla Statesman, May 80
Hon. A. F. Parker, of the IpAHo FREy
Press. is in the city. and talks as enthu
slastically as ever of the great prosperi
ty in store for Idaho. Probably no mar
in the state is so well qualified to speak
with authority on this subject as Broth
er Aaron, for his opinions are learned
from actual knowledge and experience
gained in many years residence in ev-
cry section of Idaho:
Speaking of his own home on the
great Camas prairie, in Northern Idaho
Mr.. Parker says he never saw it looking
to better advantage. The spring has
been unusually wet and the crops prom
ise to be prodigious. Cattle raisers Of
hat section have secured contracts tn
supply the men building the Great
Northern railroad with 1000 head of
beef cattle this summer, the herds are
being gathered and driven every week.
The circulation of this large amount of
money in SO isolated country is of
great benefit and times are correspond-
ingly good. The mining interests of the
mountain ranges surrounding the Cam
as prairie, and Mr.. Parker believes that
Elk City, in the Bitter Root range. will
soon develop into the largest and most
productive bullion producing camp in
the state The ores of the camp are
principally gold, but carry more or less
iron and sui lpherets which REQUIRE con.
centrating. The lodges are large and
the ore of uniform value throughout.
Mr.. Parker is the owner of one fifth
Interest IN group OF quartz ledges in
the Buffalo Hump region, which he say
is the best free milling ore he ever saw
IN the state aud from which he expects
great returns, when the necessary ma
chlnery is on the ground
Speaking of the STATE at large Mr..
Parker said that Idaho was increasing
~ population and wealth with great ra.
pidlty. She has produced $175000O 900
since her mines were discovered, and
her annual output of the precious mel
ais places her third in the list of miner
al producing states. This is fine show
Ing for state that has 40 wagon roads
In her mountain regions, and when het
tanspon alton facilities a.e increased oy
wagon road and railroad construction.
Idaho will produce more gold and silver
than any other Stale in tbe Union. Mr..
Parker leaves for the Seven Devils this
evening.
