ment that is steadily decreasing. THIS
is . situation that calls for the earnest
consideration Of al our fellow
| citizens.
Suit has been brought by . number
of the bondholders, represe nting about
$3.50, 900 Of the bonded debt, to enforce
payment Of tiirty.odd thousand
dollars Of accrued interest. This suit
is against the counties of Alturss, To.
gan, Gilmore and Bingham. Parsons
and Ruick are attorneys for Alturas.
They have not yet determined on
their line OF defense. r. z. johnson,
Of Boise City, and s. b. Kiogsbury, Of

counties. Their line Of defense will

created tho COUNTIES OF Elmore and

listed At that time; and, second, an In
quiry into the legality Of tho Alsuras
county Z per cent. bonds.
The foregoing will give our readers
an idea OF the situation Of county
affairs as they now exist.
The next phase of the question tina:
enlists the peoples attention is an in.
quiry into our source Of revenue.
For the current expense fund this is
derived from. first, property tax of
$l.45 on each 500; second 80 per
cent. of oil licenses collected; third,
~ on each poll tax collected. This
will yield about $4,000, on. of which
sum the ordinary running expenses of
the county must be paid. When
that is done there is nothing left to
apply on interest account.
The interest on our bonded debt is
30 months in arrears. 1t 10 only s|
question of time, and little time at
that, when We will DO called on to
meet this serious deficiency. That
cannot be done without increas-
ing the rate of taxation on . people
who are staggering under load about
as heavy - they can bear. The oh.
ject IN writing this article is not to
provoke angry discussion, nor revive
the bitterness Of the past, but to call
the attention Of all those interested 10
the true situation.

1t has become . question of late
years, and ono that 10 calculated to be
productive of much good, for tho
people in certain sections Of the
country. or people who have common
industry, to meet and consult As to
the best method of advancing the
general welfare. We have had con.
ventions Of lsborers, farmers, manu-
facturers, bankers, aud others; why
should not tho miners meet and dis.
cuss the many questions that have .
bearing on the industry they repre-.
sent? We, of Wood River, have the
keenest interest in this question.
Tho tariff which protects our lead is
threatened. Our silver, after 20 years
OF unjust aud discriminating legis>
lation, Is pushed down to the lowest
point it has ever reached in the history
Of tho human family. Therefore, va
have double duty to perform: FIRST,
to defend the legislation which pro-
tects our lead; and next, to mako
t'reless and unremit,ing war against
the gold ring which has crippled and
Is endeavo'ing to degrade the product
OF our silver mines.

determine to attend it is time action

and the necessary instructions given.
In this connection 1t i. but proper to

or indifference on our part toward
these great questions, on the correct
solution Of which our future welfare
80 largely depends. We made . grave
mistake. Every county in Idaho
should have been represented by

ALTURAS COUNTY.

The county Of Alturas is full of
great natural resources. From the
summit OF the Saw tooth range on the
north to the Logan county line on the
south there is not q mountain peak
nor gulch that does not show evil
dences of mineral wealth. Turning
from the western borders, leaving the
smoky mines behind w., until one de-
scends the eastern slope of the Lost
River range, is QUO vast field out OF
which crops veins of gold and silver.
Every valley has more or less farming
land, and water for irrigating purposes
is more abundant than in almost any
other county OF the State. 1t is true
that our agricultural lands are confined
to the valleys, and while they are lin.
tied in extent, yet. taken in conn cotton
with the mining industry, which should
furnish a marke. for the products OF
the soil, it amount, to considerable.
The mountains are we'll wooded.
Surrounded as we are by those great
natural resources, is 1t not matter
of surprise that Alturas county is
growing poorer every year? Here are
the figures: Value of taxable prom.
er,y for 1889, $Sl4,3S7; value Of tax,
able property for 1890, s649 lO4; val>

NAILS GO UP.

is Ordered,
ESPECIAL TO THE NEws.l

NEW YORK, Sept. L.-At meeting of
the Eastern Nail Workers Association
held at the Oriental Hotel, Man nhattan
Beach, Tuesday, Aug. 80, the price Of
nails was advanced ten cents per keg.
For long time nails have been manu-
factured at loss and sold without profit
by hardware dealers, much as sugar is
by grocers. The business of making cut
nails has also suffered somewhat from
over production by reason of the inven-
tion OF the wire nail process and the es-
tablisbment OF new plants under the
process. Under the ten-cent advance
nails will still be very cheap as compared
with standard prices.
