Col. Jno. L. Stearns, Worlds Fair
Commissioner for Idaho, went to Chi
cago last week to attend a meeting of
directors. He says he is the only man
who can stand Mike DE Young, of
California, off.
Several of our valued exchanges saw
that Steunenberg Bros. will publish the
Weiscr Leader in the future. We have
not heard of it, but if the bows insist
we will accommodate them if it takes
all our princely fortune to buy it.
It is now reported that the Wander.
bilts have ousted Jay Gould and Sidney

anairs there is not much prospect for
the Y. + to make many Improvements
in Idaho.
A car load of fire brick for De Lamar
furnaces were received from Denver
by the Forwarding Go. this week. AS
they cost about 500 per thousand in
Denver, they will represent lots of
money by the time they reach their
destination.

opened the only bid received for con-
structing the much talked of road

"A splendid mirage can be seen about
sun up on clear mornings, by looking
up the railroad track. The town of
Nampa is plainly visible, every house
and hitching post being perfectly dis

that it is almost impossible to realize
that it is an illusion.
General Cartcc, of Boise City. one of
ldaho's oldest and most respected
pioneers, died at his home last We'd
