PAYETTE, Idaho, Feb. "a, 1891.
Ed. WoRLD:-A heavy snow storm,
with Chinook accompaniment, set in
here this morning, The snow came
down thick ana fast for ten hours,
and the wind blew steadily and with
vigor. Herds of cattle along Snake
river stampeded, coyotes howled
starvation on the sage brush plans,
and railroad contractors were forced
to retreat to their houses for shelter.
Cattle men seem to be in good spir-
its. We have not had very severe
winter thus far, and have had rain
and snow sufficient to guarantee good
hay crops.
The talk here is that J. Gould is
the fundamental plank in the railroad
platform on which the people of Pay
cite are building their hopes. You
know that still currents often run
deep. l heard yesterday that prom
inent railroad man had gone, or would
soon go, to Long valley, to let tie
contracts, the ties to be delivered on
the banks of the North Fork of Pay
cite, at | t cents each. That is proof
that there is some fire below the dense
cloud of smoke that hangs over our
heads.
/ think there will be quite pull
and controversy between Payette and
Weiser in regard to the starting
point of the road. Great prosperity
will be In store for the town the road
will start from. WIN. COLE.

BoDENHEIMER and Pickett are at
work at the Blaine mine, in Gam
brinus district. They have started a
tunnel on the east extension of the
Blaine, seventy or eighty feet from
the east line of that claim. This
tunnel follows on the ledge, and starts
three or four hundred feet from the
old tunnel on the Blaine. The ledge
is seven feet wide, and it all carries
gold, and it is believed will pay to
work As this ore will have to be
run out IN pushing the tunnel, the
mining of the ore cuts no figure in
the expenses. This new tunnel will
be run to the Blame chute, and will
gain depth of seventy-fve feet be-
low the old tunnel.

THE AGRICULTURE. COLLEGE.

Legislators, why not appoint a
committee Of say three persons, none
from any of the towns that have
made bid for the location of the
college, and let them go instructed
to select location five miles or more
from any town, with the object in
view OF having purely college town
that the college trustees would have
full control of, thereby keeping the
vices that tempt the young, such as
saloons and gambling, at respectful
distances and let there be a small
village laid out near the college, as
there will be necessity for shops,
stores, &C., and such other business
places as the students will need to
patronize-all useful adjuncts? Peo-
pie carrying on such business will
want homes The lots could be leased
to them under certain restrictions.
Such town might be made a de-
lightful place for residence for par
ents whose sons and daughters are
attending the school. The very idea
of locating the college near town
that will not purge itself of its vices
IS repugnant to the better class of
people. Some of the towns that have
made bids for the college | learn have
saloon for every forty of their in
habitants. Think of this, ye gray
haired sires whose sons will attend
the college. You will not have to
draw on your imaginations to see the
probable effect on our Nations sons.
Legislators, locate the college as far
away from such temptations as you
can consistently, and not only the
present, but future generations will
rise up and call you blessed Let
not the $4,000 or $4,000 offered by
any town induce you to locate the
college in a nest of vice.
| am aware that the regular session
is thing of the past, but in case of
an extra session hope am not too
late with these suggestions. Would
be glad to hear from others on the
subject, through the press,
What has become of the Jones
wagon road bill? There is feeling
out this way, and might say a uni
versal feeling, that the bill ought to
pass. 1t has been much talked about.
l know of only one man in this Sec
ton who opposes it. l notice that
the heavy tax payers are in favor of
the bill. WV. r. RAY.

TIE Idaho election law. which has

The Idaho election law, which ha.
passed both Houses and been signed
by the Governor, is modelled after
the Australian voting system. The
Dill contains SO pages, printed. 1t i:
heavy blow to Mormonis,n-in fact
at first thought, it seems to 90 alto
getheF too far. But the Mormon or
ganlzation is desperate one, and II
is very difficult matter to cure it Of
treason. Desperate cases require des-
perate remedies. 1t must be remem-
bered that all outward show of re-
form in the organization has been a
sham; that 1t still holds that the
teachings of the heads of the church
are supreme laws, and that the laws
and free institutions of the United
States are in conflict with doctrines
and teachings of the church and that
1t is the mission of the Mormon church
to crush them out and establish in
their stead the new kingdom of Nor
monism. Self-protection is, or should
be, the first law Of all governments,
and no government, State or Nation
al, can allow such an organization to
be clothed with all the rights and
privileges of citizenship. 1t is put
ting a weapon in their hands-a
weapon to be welded to the govern
ment's own destruction. Not only
Mormons, but any religious denomi-
nation or other organization that
owes or gives its first or only allie
glance to any power other than the
constitution and laws of the United
States, ought to be dealt with in the
same manner.
The section of the election law in
regard to the Mormons is to the effect
that any one who, since Jan. !, 1888,
has been or is a polygamst, or who
in any manner teaches or has taught
or encouraged blgamy or polygamy,
ETC., or who has been a member of or
has contributed to the support of the
organization, shall not be permitted
to vote.
Whenever the Mormons throw off
the yoke of the priesthood and it is
positive that they no longer hold to
doctrines incompatible with true
American citizenship, the law will be
repealed, but not before.

I'D. "oRLn:-I wrote you short
'''la ago concerning the disappear
anee OF DR.. l. +. Mahan ("Catchall,1
IN ii'gh valley. Thos. Day, of that
valley stopped here last night. He
sad that he had learned that Maba,
had gone out to Boise City, and that
ne had been seen there since his dis
appearance in High valley.
Craig Baird met with serious ac-
cldent few days ago. He was snub-
bing calf in his corral when his
horse slipped on ice, falling on one
OF his legs, breaking it little below
the knee, and the worst of it is it is
the same leg that was broken last
summer, and he was just getting able
to get around nicely again.
Winter holds on well. Snow in
the valley is about two feet deep. but
is rapidly disappearing on the hills,
and few more days like the last two
will make plenty of feed for horses.
The ranchers of High valley are
short of feed, and some are driving
out to Squaw Creek to buy hay.
Craig Baird and Shepard have sold
all their. hsy,~and could not supply
the@demand. Mr.. .Holbrook says he
will have to drjte his stock down
to Lower Boise to feed them. Stock
look we'll yet, but if old Mr.. Chinook
don't soon come some of them will
get hungry.

CAPITAL LETTER.
BOISE Cry Eeh oA 1a

" ohLD:-Ihls being the short
month of the year, and the law max.
ois oi tne state in session, we assume
'ie vain presumption that time is
ciowdlng us, which is not true. We
simpiy lost sight of our obligations,
ano"ihg our corporal frame to come
/" contact with the lobby magnets
wnlch are IN force from every county
OF the State, every one wanting his
turn first at the law grinding Wheel
each man with his pet scheme strug-
CLING to get loose from his moorings
and get his precious cargo of what
ever class it may be labeled in the
House and Senate, then potts his
helm, shakes his main royal lib and
spanker sheets to the breeze and
glides down stream to Governors
wharf where he makes a double sa-
laam for his excelency's autograph,
then puts hard to port, battling
against head winds till he arrives at
State Secretary's Pier, where he
makes pier head, jumps, makes fast
his hawser, presents his documents
for the seal of the State with fear and
trembling, awaiting that lawful i'm
preston which legalizes the instru-
ment. This indellible machiHe revo
lutlonlzes the feelings OF the present
ing party to such an extent that his
safety valve turns loose and sends
forth Its shrieks of JOY and gladness
all over the citadel. He quiets down
by oiling up, at the Grotto and IXL,
on rum and gum, then swoons off in
a graceful slumber and all is we'll.
10 those who have not had the op-
portunity of visiting the capital while
the Legislature is in session, | will
say that if the people of the whole
State base their judgment on the re-
ports they read in the many journals
published in the different counties of
the State, as to the merits, ability and
honor of the members of the Senate
and House, they will not get the true
facts. If any of these honorable gen.
tlemen do not vote for the measure of
another, some party becomes dissat-
lshed, then whole gang in the lob
by and on the outside have caught
the fever of dissatisfaction, and the
venom and malice are scattered
broadcast through the press of the
State to slur and vilhfy the character
and conduct of the men who are in
all their acts in this session of the
Legislature working with energy,
care and judgment for the best inter-
ests of their constituents and for the
good government Of the State, re-
gardless of the clamor of public opin-
ion. Such men and their public acts
will stand in the crucible of time. As
a whole the members of the present
Legislature are true men. They have
done their duty to their constituents
with honesty of purpose. The gen
tlemen from Boise county, in the Sen
ate and House, have worked with
Judgment and energy for the best in
terests of the county, pushing their
claims to establish laws to open up
many important mining districts by
the construction of wagon roads to
take the place of the oldtime pack
trail. The people of Boise county
must give credit to the three gentle
men who represent them. They have
done their whole duty against heavy
opposition and are yet pulling heavy
on Boise county's development line
with every hope of success.

Some days ago the Idaho Herald
in referring to waiter girls at the
Pacific Hotel at Pocatelo, and their
intermarriage with young men of the
place remarked that ''railroader and
hash singer make good cross" and
now there is a whole nest of hornets
buzzlng about the most prominent
part of the editors anatomy. Serves
him right. One honest, working girl
is worth more as a wife and mother
than all the female poodle dog fan
ciers that wealth and idleness ever
produced. Besides, he who would
insult a person in this country for
earning an honest living by honest
labor, displays lamentable lack of
good horse sense. Labor and not
snobbery made this country and sus-
tains it.-Ketchum Keystone.

MARCH came in as meek aud mild
as a little lamblet. Old Sol, whose
shining countenance has been OBJ
scured all through February except
during very few brief intervals,
shone during the forenoon in all his
glory, and beamed brightly to de-
gree that was binding. In the even
ing the sky melted to tenderness and
teardrops began to fall thick and fast
from the sombre visage of the clouds,
and continued to pour nearly all night.
The breath of young March was as
balmy as the gentle zephyrs of flowery
May. Yesterday the cloud-curtain
shifted and the blue sky, so long OBJ,
scured, loomed up grandly.

ANOTHER fatal accident in the Cpur
d'Alene goes on record B. Z. Storr,
Ed. Cook and c. B. Taylor, carpen-
ters employed at the Bunker Hill and
Sullivan mine, got on loaded car
on the gravity tramway to ride up the
hill. They were almost to the land
ing, when the pressure of the heavy
load caused the grip to give way and
the car started with terrific speed
down the grade. The three men
jumped, Taylor landing unhurt and
Storr receiving slight injuries. Cooks
head struck on one of the timbers
and he was killed instantly. Just as
