sQUAW CREEK SQUIBs.

SWEET, FEB. 5, 1891.
ED. WoRLD:-We had big times
on Squaw Creek the last week in
January; protracted religious meet
ings at Ola and wedding bells here;
the weddings might be termed triple
header. They were - Carpenter
to Miss Tallsy, Charley Ireton to
Miss Luckey and John Talley to -
well | did not learn her name. She
is just out from the East. All en-
Joyed themselves, especially the con-
tracing parties. A dance was given
after the happy event. Much Joy to
all of them is our wish.
Sleighing is good; plenty of snow
Cold, colder, coldest, the last three
nights. Had an open mild winter up
to Feb. 1st. Now the weather, as
the Missourian would say, is "colder
than blazes." Don't know the cause,
whether big meeting, triple wedding
or ground hog day, or all three COM
bined. Snow is three feet deep on
Dry Buck, and it looks as if we will
have lots of water in the spring.
Everybody is housed up during
this kind of weather, so your cor
can't catch on to many items of news
Hope the boys up in the Basin will
all have a good time on Chinese New
Year.

Will the Holy Land become COM
petitor with the United States for the
supply of cotton to Europe? The
culture of cotton is successfully under
way in the more southerly portion of
the semi-tropical Jordan Valley, and
several fine plantations are said to
be flourishing in the vicinity of Jeri-
cho. 1t is thought that with the pro-
jected opening up of Palestine by
railroads large aggregate of area
will be devoted to the culture of cot
ton in the land where in olden times
''fne linen" was perfection in the
clothing line.

The Democrats of the Idaho Leg.
islature, when that body assem- bled,
agreed among themselves to take no
part in the election of United States
Senators, but vote right along for
men of their own party, which they
did, but with no hope of accomplish
ing anything. Their plan was to
keep out of the Republican fight, and
by SO doing they could not be charged
with corruption by their own party
nor by any of the different factions
of the Republican party. 1t was a
Republican fight and they proposed
to keep out of it, which they did.
But last Friday, when a resolution
was voted on for the election of an
other Senator, the Democrats sus-
tanned it, and this scheme Is known
to be engineered by Clagett, very
sorely disappointed candidate for the
U. S. Senate, who, failing to be elect
ed, now seeks, through some flimsy
technicality, to get the long term fol-
which Dubois was elected, or if moi
that then to cause dissension and dis
ruption in Republican ranks. The
Democrats voted for this resolution
After refusing to take part in the le
gitimats drama, it looks bad for then
to dance to Clagett's music in the af
ter piece, the farce, and join in tn
can can, put on the program by tn
managers of the great Clagett's com
i pany of high kickers.

at the depth of forty feet, and is five
feet wide, and makes good showing
for that near the surface. The Ban
mock is the first east extension of the
Wolverine, which is one of the great
est silver producers in Idaho. The
Elmira company, on their 4oO'foot
level, ran to within short distance
of the west line of the Bsnnoek, and
their pay chute is continuous, A

SWEET, Idaho, Feb. 5, 1S91.-Snow
in this valley is four inches, but as far
as feed is concerned just as well be
four feet. Everybody is feeding and
stock is doing well, except some ranch
stock that have been brought down
from the Basin. They are being
dogged and pitchforked from ranch
to ranch and are an annoyance to ev-
cry one, except to the man who
brought them here, and think the
owner, if he could see the way they
are cared for, would much rather give
them to somo one who would feed
them, even though it would cost a
few dollars more. Ii. Z.

IDAHO City has a mathematical dog.

IDAHO City has mathematical dog,
but casual observer would not think
he know the first principles of arith-
metic. One of the legs of the NANCY
canine was disabled in a free-for- all
combat for dogs of both low and high
degree, and the leg has been on the
retired list for number of days. As
he went up street the other day on
three legs, wag remarked that nc
one would think at first sight that he
was somewhat of mathematical dog.
The crowd could discover no indica-
tions of calculating ability in the
"ornery" looking canine and asked
the wag to elucidate. "Don't you
see," says the wag, che puts down
three and carries one."

dings in one week, and the most dis
agreeable week OF the season, and
such scatterment among the old
bachelors you never saw. Kirk had
all attack of spinal mengihs, Yank
had fit, Lynch went into a trance
and others were more or less affect

Statesman.

Inc JOINT resolution OF yesterday.
TO the surprise of some, conceded that
Senators Shoup and Mcconnell were
elected in the manner provided bv
law. When the fact is remem bered
that at the same joint session when
those two Senators were elected. Sen.
ator Fred L. Dubois was also elected
and that the same officer who declared
the other two gentlemen duly elected,
also announced that Senator Dubois
mad received majority, the question
arises wherein does there any differ
ence exist which should make the
election of two of the Senators law
ful and that of the third unlawful.
The nine Senators who have placed
themselves on record as desiring to
withhold the seat from Senator Du-
bois, throughout their "whereases"
are very careful to say only "that if
the election of said Hon. Fred T.
Dubois Is not void, there is at least
grave doubt as to its validity" None
In that body have any doubt about
1T, except the tuneful nine; even the
person supposed to be most interest
ed in the matter, has no doubts about
the fact that he is lawfully elected
Senator. Come to think of it, there
is one who may be supposed to have
little more interest than Senator
Dubois, and he hopes to oust Mr..
Dubois if he can only succeed in agi-
tating the doubt now asserted to be
entertained by the nine until he shall
obtain following sufficiently large
to go through the farce of a mock
election IN joint session. If these
men could carry this farce through to
successful issue, it would be a start
ling example of the will of the peo-
pie being defeated by few dissatls-
fed men. If a popular vote could
be taken in Shoshone county to-day
there would be no question but that
Senator Dubois would receive a hand
some majority for the United States
Senate over any other Republican
candidate that could be named. With
one exception not a newspaper of
Republican proclivities in Idaho has
complained of the result of the cleo
ton of the three Senators. The al
most universal approval of the cleo
ton in joint session of the Legislature
is strong evidence that the people of
the State do not desire change, nor
any attempt at change.
