PARIS ILLUMINATED.
At Present the Best Lighted City In tho
World.

At Present the Best Lighted City I'm tho
World.
Paris is now on the eve of reyolu-
ton in her lighting system. Gas light
ing was first introduced in England, but
Paris followed in good time, and with
a splendor unequaled elsewhere. In
like manner, writes DIR. Albert Shaw,
In Century, America, Germany and
some other countries have been earlier
In the use of electric lighting: but the
Parisians with their superior taste and
Skill In all matters of municipal ar
rangements and appointments, are des-
tined to make by far the most brilliant
use Of the new illuminant. Within one
year, or within two years at the far
thest, it is confidently claimed that
Paris will be incomparably the best
lighted city in the world and thut elcc-
tricity will have superseded gas in pub
lie use. In 1878, at the time of the uni
Versal exposition, the municipal govern
ment ordered the experimental il1u-
mlnatlon OF the avenue de l. Opera and
several open spaces with electricity; but
the new system was not ripe for large
use, and the experiment was soon aban-
doned. Its principal effect was tho
stimulus it gave to the gas company,
which invented and put into use certain
large compound burners using 1,4Oo
Hters per hour, and giving most bril-
liant light. The great electrical improve.
ments of the past decade were exhibit
7ed1n the French exposition of 1880, and
were studied with the utmost care by
the Partisan authorities and municipal
engineers. Undoubtedly. the displays
at the exposition had the most pro-
.nounced effect in stimulating the new
zeal Paris is showing for the appli-
ances of the electric age.

BOISE Cry, Idaho, Nov. 3, '9i.
Ed. WogLD:-I see in the Woatp
and other journals and hear from res
idents Of Long valley frequent CON-
plants OF the action or non-action of
the State Wagon Road Commission
ers in regard to the road in Long
valley. Vague threats, for instance,
that in the next election we would be
: liked" etc. Now as am not aware
that my colleagues have any poIitr-
cal aspirations, and as /, myself, am
absolutely out of the 6eld, this sort
OF talk would seem to be silly. As a
matter of fact the Commissioners have
not located and do not intend to To-
cate any State road in Long valley.
1t is rapidly filing up with actual
settlers and the settlers themselves
are the best judges where the road
should run.
The whole Of that country needs
better outlet than it has, and care
ful, view of the whole situation indi-
Gates that road down the valley of
the Payette from E. J. Smiths ferry
to Horseshoe Bend would have very
great advantages over a road across
the mountain country on either side.
The funds at onr disposal are not suf-
fcient to build this road. The State
through the next session os the Leg
Islature or the county or private sub
scriptIons must come to the relief of
the present oottled-up Long valley
aud help out the road.
We cannot tell exactly or even
very nearly what surplus there will
be of the wagon road loan. When
we do ascertain il we will be in a
condition to make progress

This was At Henry's lake, 120 mile,
away from Bozeman, and almost a
far away from doctor. As rssull
the nature of the disease which car.
ried this notable woman away, is not
and may never be known.
Sarah was born somewhere neal
1874 and she was very small child
when she saw her first white man.
Her people were scattered at tina,
time nearly all over the territory now
known as Nevada.
Her grandfather was chief of the
entire Piute nation and was camped
near Humboldt lake when the first
white people we're seen going through
to California This old Piute, as soon
as he learned that the whites were in
sight, made haste to welcome them,
but was stood OH, and the old mans
heart was sore thereat. Three years
after the old man mad better success,
for he met sthe Pathfinder" and was
christened by Fremont as ssCaptsin
Trnckee," which means interpreted
that Truckee was a good Indian.
Sarah being an extraordinarily intel
ligent person was sent by her people
to Washington in 1882, where she
presented a petition asking that the
tribe be restored to the Malheur res
eryation in consideration of the SER
vices of her grandfather in guiding
General Fremont to California. Sa-
rah acted for General Howard's de-
lartment as guide and interpreter
during the Bannock and Piute war
and was highly compIimented by him
for her compassionate services. Dur
ing this war she was instrumental in
bringing her father and his imu.edi-
ate band of Indians out of the hos
tile Bannock camp near Juniper lake,
Oregon, in 1868. after which she re-
manned with General Howard's com
mand and did good service IN rnduc-
ing Indians to come in and surrender.
She taught an Indian school at
Vancouver barracks for one -ear, and
lectured for some time In the east
upon the wrongs her people had sus-
tanned by the invasion of the whites
and the peace policy OF the gov
ernmeut, which took the Indians
away from their home and scattered
them over the country. She also
wrote a book, which had a large
sale All in all, Sarah was a remark
able woman, although of late years
she has not been heard of.

To ILLUSTRATE the magnitude of
the injustice of the demonetization of
silver, we need only to give the loss
of one company, in this county, and
what applies to this company applies
with equal force to all silver mining
companies. The EImira company
would have to-day been $4,000
better off but for the law of 1873,
which treated silver as a commodity.

then putting the government stamp

,er ounce. The average loss per
ounce-the difference between the
commercial and coin value of silver
nas bsen about thirty cents. This
nA> affected u-,t only the silver miner.
butevery laborer and producer. Many
mines that could not stand such a
loss had to shut down, throwing la
borers out of employment and des-
troying industries depending on the
mines. The demonetization of silver
was brought about for the sole pur-
pose of decreasing the currency and
thereby increasing the purchasing
power, or the value, of dollar.
The creditor gets a dollar of more
value than the dollar he loaned. 1t
has been big thing for the bond
