Minerals for the worlds Far.

Prof Robert L. Packard aud DR.. W. H..
Melville, of Washington, special agents or
the National Commission of the Worlds
Columbian Exposition arrived in Boise
last evening. They have been commits
stoned to visit Idaho and Montana in the
interests of the great collection OF min
erals which the government of the United
States purpose to make at the Worlds
Fair.
1t is the mission of these gentlemen to
secure choice specimens representing the
ore or mineral deposits of the state, such
as chlorides, sulphldes and bromides OF
silver, and any thoroughly mineralized
ores. 1t is the intention Of the govern
ment to make this the most complete
cabinet or collection Of minerals ever
gathered. ANY one desiring to contribute
may find these gentlemen at the Overland
hotel. The names and addresses OF do
nors will be inscribed on all specimens,
together with the exact location from
which each came. These specimens will
be retained by the United States for the
National MISUNDERSTANDING.
Mine owners should afford these
gentlemen every facility for procur-
ing samples and ore specimens that
will in every way represent the va
riety and richness Of Idaho mines.
Let every miner who has good ore
make it point to contribute to the
purposes Of the Worlds Fair liber-
ally and of the best in his mine.
Our mines are unsurpassed in rich
ness by those of any other section
of the Union, and if our miners and
mine owners make a determined
effort to excel in mineral display
at Chicago the Gem Of the Noun
tains can well-nigh eclipse all other
sections; but all the rest will take
an interest, and will make such
displays as will be admired by all
visitors, and if Idaho miners are
lax in their efforts to Guido their
rivals, they will not only be beaten
but overwhelmed. The elements of
a grand success in this matter is in
the hands of our mining men, and
the opportunity to give publicity
to the immensely of our mineral re-
sources such as will not occur again
in many years, and it should be
to the fullest.

GEO. II. VAUGHN has Issued the
first number Of the State Journal at
Boise City. Judging by the saluta-
tory, which is somewhat non-com-
initial, the paper is meant to cham
pion the Alliance cause. Such being
the case it may find an occupation
and win for itself a place in the
field of Idaho journalism, but the
outlook is not particularly hopeful
from our point of view.

A PRELIMINARY report Of the op-
erations of the Internal Revenue
Bureau for the last fiscal year has
just been issued by the commits
sioner. From this report it appears
that the amount collected from all
sources was $146,035,376, an in
crease of over $3,40O,OOO over that
collected during the preceding fiscal
year, in spite of the reductions in
the internal taxes made by the last
tariff law. According to the COM
missioner's estimate, the internal
revenue provisions of that law re-
duced the collections about $9,OOO,-
900 for the year, which includes,
however, special taxes delayed by
the change of the date for payment
from May l to July 1.-Bradstreet's.

ENGINEER O. L. MILLER, who is
making temporary survey of a
railway line from Boise City to
Butte, Montana, writes to the States
man to say they will experience no
difficulty in crossing the Sawtooth
range with a railroad. A survey
was not needed to establish that
fact. There is a natural and easy
grade up Wood river, with but little
to do but to lay the track.

IF Major Pinkham will kindly
permit the publication Of the laws
of the last session the public, whose
votes he hopes and expects to get
year from now, will be quite as
well satisfied, even if he makes less
money than he has been doing. The
opinion is wide spread that he is
delaying the publication of the laws
of the last session of the Legislature
in order to feather his nest by
charging very excessive prices for
certified copies of the unpublished
laws, and the opinion, whether true
or false, is the cause of much un-
favorable impression and comment
concerning the non-publication of
the laws. Intelligent people believe
and assert that six months is an
unreasonably long time to wait for
a work that could have been easily
accomplished in one month just as
we'll; and they want to know and
have perfect right to know what
the law is. In not exacting the
publication of the laws within a
reasonable time, the Secretary has
neglected a public duty, whether
Intentionally or not, and those who
have been deprived of the use of
the laws for six months by his neg
lect have a right to feel aggrieved.
They have their remedy, too, and
it is possible little more attention
to business, and a little less to
money making, in the way sus-
pected. would profit Mr.. Pinkham
more in the long run.

A CIRCUIT OF AMERICA.
The Striking Tale of a Western Union Tele-
graph Operator.

The Striking Tale of Western Union Tele-
graph Operator.
The going down of the Western Union
wires one night drove one of the nervous
gentlemen who taps an instrument in
that office into a reminiscent mood.
The telegraph man found the gentle
man in question in the rear Office with
his feet resting upon the quad and
his pipe in his mouth waiting for the
/ re- establishment of electric commune
cation with the outer world.
This wire going down tonight,
boys" he said, reminds ME of an ex-
perience that / had in Portland one
night three years ago last winter, which
is perhaps the rarest ever had in my
twenty years at the instrument. 1t was
that of working on probably the largest
circuit ever operated at one time in the
United States. The weather was stormy,
and early in the evening the wires on
the Southern Pacific went down just
east of Deming n NJ.
THAT was already bad enough, but
the situation grew alarming, when, at
o o'clock, Omaha reported 'All eommu-
nication with the east shut Off Then
l knew we were in for it, for not line
Of the night Associated Press was in
and we had only the wires on the
Northern Pacific to work on. Time was
limited and we had to get the report
through to every town in the west.
This is how it was worked: Chicago
connected with st. Paul, and st. Paul
with Helena. From the latter place
connection was made with Butte, Ogden,
| Omaha and Cheyenne, and from Ogden
/ to Deming way to the south.
| From Helena connection was made
1 with Portland, from that point with
Seattle, Tacoma and New Westminster
| TO the north, and San Francisco, Sacra-
/ mento and Los Angeles TO the south.
One man rushed that report out Of Chi
cago aud we all took it from him. 1t
was repeated at relays automatically.

A Cool store Closet.

There is no greater desideratum in
the kitchen than properly ventilated
store closet, arranged with shelves for
food, movable racks on the floor for
barrels and other arrangements to keep
food in the most wholesome manner.
A simple device where the store closet
opens out of the kitchen and is on the
sunny side of the house is to have hole
cut in the floor, covered over with wire
netting, SO as to let the cool air of the
cellar into the closet. This cool air
coming in contact with the warmer air
of the kitchen makes a constant circula-
ton. A properly built store closet,
however, should be situated on the
north side of the house, and well ven
tilated by window opening outdoors
