This is new town situated on the
side of Medicine mountain and on the
beach of Cave lake and destined. as we
believe, to become one of the favorite
resorts of this part of Idaho. The lake
covers about two Thousand acres and its
shore abounds with beautiful coves
and fine camping grounds. The water
is filled with the finest specimens of
trout, and in season is covered with
ducks and geese. The cave from which
the lake derives its name, while not so
large as the Mammoth cave of Ken

THE committee OF conference Of
postmasters have put in form bill for
the establishing of postal savings banks.
The deposiiing is done by means of
stamps pasted on cards and subsequent
ly changed for certificates. There is
only one circumstance where deposi
tories Of this character would be
desira BILE and that is where towns are
too small to support banks. The
chances are however that like all posta
improvements it would be confined to
cities and would come in direct com
petition with private capital. The
stamp system for small savings has
already been successfully established in
many cities and is rapidly extending so
that this point does not carry weight for
the proposed innovation. The benefits
seem so small compared to the almost
absolutely general delriment to an es-
tablished business that the bill can
hardly be looked on with favor It is
not the province Of the government to

That's Cleveland.

In bis letter to General Bragg avOw-
ing himself a candidate for President in
the Chicago convention MIR. Cleveland
says:
have also an idea that the presidency Is pre-
eminently the peoples office. and have been
sincere in my constant advocacy OF the effective
participation in political affairs on the part Of all
our citizens. Consequently believe the people
should be heard in the choice of their party can
didates and that they themselves should make
nominations directly as is consistent with
open, fair and full party organization and meth
DDS.
Translated into plain English this
means that in Mr. Cleveland's opinion
the fact that he will not be presented by
his own state should not bar him from
the field, and that individual delegates
from his state should be permitted to
cast their votes for him if he can induce
any to do so, no matter what action
may have been taken by the state CON
vention concerning presidential nom
nations or what rule may haye been
adopted by the delegation on the unit
question. Thus it appears Mr.. Cleve-
land is ready to override for his in
diYidual advantage decision for which
be and his adherents stubbornly and
successfully fought in the Chicago
convention Of 1884
The late Daniel Manning was then
"boss" of the state. Under his skilful
manipulation one-thitd of the state
delegation, led by John Kelly, Bourke
Cochran and T. f. Grady, having
openly declared that they would not
cast their ballots for Grover Cleyeland
because he was not their choice nor the
choice of the people they represented,
were compelled nevertheless to cast
their ballots for him, or, rather, their
ballots were counted for him against
their will and against their vehement
and long maintained protest. Mr..
Cleveland approved then of suppressing
everything except majority rule IN the
state and in the party. Now he is ready
to override party disciplin, destroy the
ladder on which he climbed to the
nomination eight years ago, aud seize
for himself the liberty he denied to his
fellow democrats in the last Chicago
national democratic convention. He
accepted twentY-four votes under the
operation of that rule. without which he
could not haYe been nominated; and
he knew that every one of them was
cast for him against the will of the
twenty-four delegates and of the people
who elected them. There is no protest
from New York state this yesr Tie
state delegation is unanimous. But it
is not for Mr. Cleveland. Therefore he
will "go to the people. - CticagoHeraid,

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurabe. For
great many years doctors pronounced it
local disease, and prercribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment. pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven ca
tarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-
tured by F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo,

the market. 1t is taken internally in

his experiences in the April Century.
He saws that one of the strange effects
of diving Is the invariable bad temper
felt while working at the bottom of the
sea; and as this usually passes away as
soon as the surface is reached. it may
be supposed to be due to the pressure
of air inside the dress, affecting the
lungs, and through them the brain. A

Grafton of the heart. He was born in
Virginia City and was 80 years old.
Senator james G. Fair, who will al

late afflictien. Jimmie" was his
faverite son, and although the Senator
is NEST successful fnancier, his
domestic life has not been free from
thorns. 1t Is indeed a severe affiic;ion,

parent would have parted chesrfully
with his last dollar To prslong his boys

The Metal Market.

The imports Iuto New York during
the week ending January 3Oth were
S2l $50, mainly gold.
The experts were S43t ,259, the bulk
being silver.
The general bearish feeling in the
metal market shows itself in lead by
IA weakening OF 8 cents IN the price.
Business is very quiet indeed and it is
hard to determine IRON the reports
whether further movement will be
down or up. Supplies seem TO he very
fair, which is more than can be said
of the demand.
The dome ,uc market is suffering
somewhat from the shaky feeling
abroad, where the late marked i'm
prevement has been followed by
weakening demand and lower prices.
Very little demand is developing and
prices shew tendency TO drop for
sheer lack of support The last week
in January saw one sale of Lake in
the New York exchange at l05ac., but
the best bid since has been 1015c. We
place the quotation at this writing at
1915, which seems to be full price.

CuIt'vatlng the Rose

The following, from the Sacramento
News, will he of interest to eur own
readers, many of whom are already
engaged in gardening:
I'VE are frequently asked" said nur-
seryman Mr.. Van Gelder Of the firm
of Van Colder & Wylie, what are the
best methods OF prepagating cuttings
and especially those of the reese The
fact is that those who can afford TO
buy sorted plants had better do so AS it
requires much time and care TO sue
cesslully grow roses. However, there
are many ladies who need and enjsy
outdoor life, and such could not do
better than to experiment with bed
of cuttings, which, if attended to, will
not only furnish their own door yard
with superb roses, but may make some
less fortunate neighbor happy by be-
ing the recipient Of supply of rooted
cuttings
In the nursery we generally cut
our rose slips in the Fall, but it Is not
now too late, aGd those who desire may
yet try their hand at rose culture from
cuttings.
"a careful selection of warm
sunny corner should be made in the
garden and the ground, which must be-
well enriched, thoroughly cultivated
to the depth of Is inches. La the loose
earth, open trench SIX inches deep.
Prepare the rose slips by cutting eight
inches long with buds near the top.
Lay in the trench, burying them into
the earth until ouly the buds protrude,
the cuttings standing at an angle.
Fill the soil over them and pack the
top by laying board on the earth,
covering and walking upon it, This
excludes The air and prevents the earth
which remains loose nj the bottom of
the cutting from drying up.
During the entire Summer the
ground must be kept thoroughly moist,
though not wet. During the hottest
days of June, July, August and Sep
TENDER shade OF canvas should I've
provided, BY following tins method
refractory roses and many other plants
may be successfully propagated.'

Tho Silver Peak Mines.

Nm. 7. Charles, who has been SO
Journing IN Hawthorne for the past
month, has just completed negotiations
for the purchase Of large mining in-
terests near Durango, MeXics. Mr..
Charles is thorough mlneralogist
and geologist, and will be remem bered
as an expert witness in the case OF the
Queen Poorman, recently tried in our
District Court. la the Durango mines
he represents syndicate of English
and American financlers, and the pur-
chase price exceeds one million dol
lars.
Mr.. Charles is also the authorized
agent of the Messrs. Blair, the New
York millienalres, who own the Silver
Peak mines, in this county. He has
made very thorough examination of
these mines, deyoling several months
to that purpose, and he informs us that
they are the biggest thing he has seen
on the Coast. The ore is gold, and
of comparatively low grade, but there
is a mountain of ii, and it is practi-
cally ineXhaustible. He predicts that
in the near future work will begin on
these mines on large scale aud give
employmentto thousands of men.
The present stagnant condition of
things is owing to the indifference of
the senior Blair-who is over 80 years
old-and being very wealthy, does not
care to enter the race fer more money.
His sons, however, arc eager to begin
work.
