Caldwell Tribune.
The Idaho militia acquitted itself
with great credit in the recent trouble
in North Idaho. Their conduct was
favorably commented on by the
regular army officers. One officer
said: 81 have not heard word of
complaint from any of them. If we
were in the field as poorly equipped
as they are there would be great
howl"

That Great Treasure Vault, Central Idaho.
Idaho Herald.
From a dozen to twenty railroads
are being projected through Idaho to-
day. No region in the world so rich
in resources lies so remote from the
traffics as central Idaho. No country
could be opened that would pay more
richly on the investment. The
mineral wealth of this section alone
would, in its development, provide
an immense amount Of traffic for
railroads, to say nothing Of the rich
agricultural valleys and the fine
timber belts that would be developed.
The greatest growth to be made in the
northwest to be made in the next ten
years will be made when the interior
resources of Idaho are opened up fol
development by competing lines oi
railroad.

Politicians on all sides understand
that the ''issues are joined" and that
in Congress each party has done the
best and the worst that it can do.
The case is now submitted to the
jury-"the people" There is some
force in the remark said to have been
made by Tom. Reed, that the Re
publicans seem to have been doing
their level best to help the Democrats
and vice versa. The remark was
doubtless made in reference to
political work outside of the halls OF
legislation, but the same rule seems
to hold good in Congress.

New ORLEANs, Sept. s.-The excite

chose the "lucky" one that Dixon and
McAulifie fought in. Jim Corbett came
in Is minutes after the champion. He
had remained In his room until the very
last moment that he could with safety,
and then with his trainers and seconds
and representatives of the Southern Ath-
letic Club, he jumped into a carriage and
went to the club. The two heavy weig hts
remained In their rooms until called to

This is done solely because it is incom-
fatible with the position of postmaster.
Mr.. Goodwin has been chairman OF the
COW mittee since 1888 and has served very
faithfully.
A News reporter asked Chairman
Goodwin this forenoon who he thought
would be likely to take his place. He re-
plied that he did not know, but that it
lad been intimated that the committee
would elect Col. Hunter c. White chair
man. Colonel White is thoroughly ac
quainted with State politics, but
whether ne would accept the position is
not definitely known. He was out of the
city to-day.
Col Isaac l.. Goff, secretary of abe com
mittee, said this forenoon that be did not
know who would succeed Mr.. Goodwin,

city are ex- Mayor Hayward, who is to be
postmaster OF Providence and could no
more consistently hold the position than
Mr.. Goodwin. and j. G. Is. Wood late
chairman of the city committee.
Mr.. Wood said this forenoon that he
did not know who was To succeed Mr.
Goodwin, nor had he heard any one men

he would be rather glad to get rid OF the
hard work aud let some one else take

Many backed Corbett for this fight who
had won thousands Of dollars on Sullivan
In his former battles, but who believed
that Sullivan had made the mistake OF
staying too long in the ring. The hrst
sign OF the contest came In the person OF
police captain Billy Barrett, who went
into the ring at i've minutes OF nine
o'clock.
Sullivan was the first OF the fighters to
enter the ring. He was dressed In green
trunks and black shoes and socks. He
looked in perfect condition.
Corbett followed moment later, look ing
pale and finely drawn beside his bulky
antagonist. He wore an air OF confidence,
however, smiled and nodded to acquaint-
ances around the ring, though he was
said by some people to be little ner-
vous.
In the parley which was held in the
center Of the ring, Corbett looked en-
tirely outclassed In point of build, though
his friends relied upon his cleverness to
win the battle. The battle commenced

Tho Story OF Last Nights Great Battle
Told By Rounds.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. s.-John L. Sulli-
van entered the ring at s.45 last night
amid tremendous cheering. James j.
Corbett followed a few seconds later.
Corbett's seconds were Prof. John Dom
aldson Of Chicago aud Billy Delaney OF
San Francisco. Sullivan's seconds were
his backer, Charley johnson of Brook
lyn, and Jack McAuliffe, the light
weight champion pugilist. Bat Master
son acted as time keeper for Corbstt,
while Frank Moran of Bridgeport, Conn.,,
acted in like capacity for the champion.
II. M. Frank was time keeper for the
c 40. Sullivan looked confident and was
in4ine fettIe. Corbett presented SINH
lar appearance. The "pivot" blow and
back heeling were barred by mutual con-
sent. The men were soon ready Tor the
call OF "time."
1910 d. n, the men shook hands and
"time" was called for the first round.
Sullivan was on the aggressive and
"Dandy Jim" laughed at him. Sulli-
van swung his right and missed Jim by
five feet. Both men monkeyed and eyed
each other closely. Sullivan rushed but
Corbett jumped away. Sullivan looked
away and smiled. Both spared for
while and then Sullivan tried to corner
Jim, but Corbett slipped away. The
gong sounded on a very tame round.
Round 2-Corbett began by dancing
around Sullivan. Sullivan looked very
anxious and had a mean look. He at.
tempted TO corner Corbett, who slipped
away. Sullivan struck Corbett lig htly on
the shoulder. Both men then came 10
clinch and each landed vicious blows on
the neck. John l.. upper cut Corbett
and touched him with his left little

-'osely. Some sperrinR followed. John
