1t is to be hoped that the fire of
Tuesday morning will teach those
who have charge OF the fire steamer,
never to allow 1t to be taken apart
again and left in that condition over
night, especially during the dry sea-
son. The absence of the steamer on
the occasion of the laundry fire was
exceedingly dangerous, for had there
been a strong south wind blowing
such as was blowing earlier in the
night, half of the city would doubtless
have been destroyed.

The Chamber of Commerce is now
a fixed fact. The membership is over
sixty and it is of the very best bust

plenty of strong work to do, and there
can be no manner of doubt
that the work will be well done. The
organization is capable of great good,
and it should be upheld and encour

The Ledger locates in Kentucky the
murder OF man and his wife and FIVE
children because the telegram came
from Catlettsburg, a town on the
Kentucky side of the river opposite
West Virginia. The dreadful affair
really occurred in Wayne county, West
Virginia, and the murderers were Ital-
ian railroad laborers. Kentucky has
killings enough to answer for, but they
are generally done in fights between
men. Such murders, or anything like
them, as that described seldom occur
In Kentucky.

an iron frame, crossed and re-crossed by

great benefit to oysterers, was first sug-

is not patented, is coming into general

SOME HOGS.
The American Hog, the Boise City
Hog; the Hog as an Educator.

=
Hog; the Hog as an Educator.
Ed. TRIBuNE-The hog as fac
tor in politics has cut considera'
ble figure in the past.
When Germany placed a high
protective tariff on the German
product, the American hog had to
squeal. ,netaphorically, and some
people who kept their eyes and
ears open found out that protection
was a game that two could play.
Hence the paradox, the American
hog, with four legs and more
stomach than brains, taught the
American hog with two legs and
more brains than stomach, the first
lesson in free trade, or reciprocity,
which is virtually the same thing.
The education of the nation is
then marching apace through the
agency Of the hog. When the
American hog squealed the Ger.
man hog got away with the swill.
The hog is very noisy fellow
when he doesn't get swill enough.
Swill is his soothing syrup. The
American hog is squealer; more
tariff 10 his cry. The English hog
il q grunter. He's always fat.
The swili Of the world flows to his
pen. He's a free trader. The
American hog il just beginning TO
want to be a free trader, and when
he get, there he'll be fat too.
The hog is q common animal,
too numerous to mention. His
habitat is near the swill trough.
Where the swill 10, there will the
hogs be gathered together. Every
thing 10 swill that comes to his
chopper.
The Boise hog is q hog of the
first water-swill I mean. He
wants the swill all to come his way.
The state wagon road must be
built down twenty mile rock can
yon lest Emmett and Caldwell get
some of the swill. Mountains, cam
yons, hills and gorges must be
traversed, lest the swill dribbls
into Payette and Boise valleys be-
fore it reaches Boise City. State
wagon roads are swill for one only.
County bridges also. Railroads
are no good unless they 60 to Boise
City. The Oregon Short Line must
come to Boise City-but it didn't.
The valley right-of.way mustn't be
utilized, it might dribble little
swill into Caldwell. Irrigation laws
must not be enacted unless the
canals begin and end in Boise City,
the swill might flow out somewhere
else. The great water right law
suits at Blackfoot brings swill to
the Boise hog. All swill to the
Boise hog! Won't he do to butcher
about a year from next November?
