live. In fact, We are led to believe,
on hearsay. that it is one Of the
most desirable places in the state,
but judging from the statement
above. it Is hampered in it's growth
by the greed Of it's citizens. One can
buy or rent property in the fairy
city of Los Angeles cheaper than in
Boise City and when we left South
ern California four years ago the
best orange and lemon groves in
the country could have been pur-
chased at from $1,000 to So, 500 per
acre, the oldest trees being the
highest priced. These figures are
known abroad, and tell against the
growth of our state. First make
property valuable by improvements
and then ask good prices for it
first build up city and then ask
city prices for property. BY doing
this sales will be assured and profits
all reasonable people expect or
want; but intelligent men will not
purchase property and help to de-
velop new countries unless their
purchases and labor promise them
q return in the way Of increased
values, which land at $1,000 or $4,000
an acre does not seem to US to do.

The terrible blizzard that swept
over the northwest on the 10th and
18th of this month, more forcibly
illustrates the climatic difference be-
tween this locality and the country
east Of the Rockies than a volume
could do. While we were ENJOYING
the most delightfully."- warm and
sunny weather and the water from
the melting snow was running
through all of our streets almost in
sluice heads. the people on the
Mississippi side of the divide were
shivering and even perishing from
cold, and this dreadful cold wave
extended nearly all over the north
west. And yet there are millions
OF acres unsettled in Idaho on
which great numbers of the victims
OF that desolating climate could
make for themselves happy homes,
IN climate as pleasant and health
iui as any to be found; and less
work would make them we'll off here
than it takes in that dreary and
unfruitful region to keep them from
etarving-so many of them at least
as keep from freezing. 1t is strange
thst people will continue to suffer
in such a land when a place like
the Pacific coast, of which Idaho is
40 excellent portion, invites them
to bask in it's sunshine and enjoy
'ts delights and it's advantages.

ARISTOTLE, whose great mind

money is an empty thing. 1t has
value only by law, and not by ma

among those using it can depreci
ate it entirely and render it wholly
unfit to satisfy our needs" When
our statesmen learn 80 much as
that we shall be annoyed less by
money fluctuations, and our labor
ers will enjoy more of what they
earn. 1t is the intrinsic value, and
metallic basis fraud that keeps our
laborers eternally in debt and pay.

The Postal Laws and uewspapers.

About two years ago Messrs. George F.
Rowell 4 Co., of New York, the publish
ers Of Rowells Newspaper Directory, and
several other publications Of great value
to concerns wishing to do business with
the newspapers, started very unique
weekly, both in form az mo- and name
(PRINrERs' Xxx.
!. It was = new idea all through, and like
new ideas generally, required large cap
ital, much experience and utmost push to
make It 90. The publishers had to edu-
cate people and make a market for the
publication. To what extent they sue
ceeded may be judged by the tact that
its editions now exceed 1000, and the
business probably 5000, 900 per year. We
doubt if any publication published once
week is read with more avidity. In fact
we have seen it in many instances care
fully preserved Just as monthly magazines
are preserved, so highly is It valued.
Now. after allowing the publishers to
proceed on these lines for several years,
the Postofiice Department rules that the
journal is not legitimate newspaper and
cannot he admitted to second class rates,
but as third class matter.
The postage on the issue Of January
18th, amounted at third class rates to
$805, besides the labor of attaching SO, SOC
stamps to that number Of papers. Al
second. class rates the proper charge toI
postage would be $50 70, making diff
ference in cost of mailing this one issue
of $733.24. In other words about $3,627
year at second.clxss matter, against
81, $3.50 as third class. In the meantime
Rowell s. Co. are paying this enormous
sum under protest, until the Department
can further consider the case.
OF course it is outrageous that the Law
is so ambiguous that the Postoffice author.

it, as they do according to the within Of

ambiguity.
II PRINTERS INK is not = newspaper
then there Is not weekly newspaper in
the country.
We believe it at present the best read
and most carefully preserved journal in

Hon. J. NJ. REID of Lewiston is
being talked up as the democratic
nominee for member Of Congress.
Mr.. Reid is the most brilliant man
in the state and one of the ablest,
and if nominated we believe be
would be elected. Idaho needs q
first class man in Congress-needs
a man there who knows her needs
and is able to make himself felt
among men of intellect in that body.
Such a man is J. NJ. Reid. His
presence in Congress would insure
our interests there the best possible
advocate, and do honor to the state,
or for that matter to any state that
might send him.

THE editor of the Idaho Falls
Register, replying to a letter of in
quiry, says land in Highland park
at that place, three-fourths Of mile
from the depot, is worth from $1,000
to $4,000 per acre. Owners who de-
mand prices so disproportioned to
values certainly do not expect to
sell. Money in this country will
readily bring 81 per cent interest,
therefore land to be worth $4,000 an
acre must be capable Of being made
to yield profit of $2lO an acre per
year. This no land in Idaho will do.
We have no doubt but that Idaho

ihat Is the Ullimatum Given Manager
Dickinson.
AT 6 o'clock last evening the visit.
ing committee Of the Telegraphers
Association, which has been in o naha
over two months to consult with Gen.
eral Manager Dickinson, of the Union
Pacific railway system, in regard to a
new schedule of wages proposed by
the telegraphers, notified Mr.. Dickin.
son that unless their schedule was
adopted general strike over the en-
tire system would be ordered. Mr..
Dickinson asked until 6 O'Clock this
evening to consult the President and
Board of Directors.
Ii tho strike is ordered about SS5
telegraph operators and fully 5000
station agents who are also, like the
HALEY agent, telegraph operators,
will quit work.
The schedule above referred to
makes $50 per month tho minimum
pay for y hours work per day.
There are many operators in Nebraska
who only receive $35 per month and,
being station agents, are required to
be on duty at all hours.
The agents on branch lines have
shorter hours, as the trains are fewer
than on the main or trunk lines. The
agent at Haley, for instance, is on
duty from 8 o'clock in the morning
until s or 8 o'clock at night, and only
gets $50 per month. Occasionally,
when an important political conven-
ton or an election is held, he is some-
times on duty all night, without extra
pay.
The telegraph operators are usually
not very fortunate in their strikes.
Tho Western Union operators, for
instance, never won a strike. Re.
Gently, however, the Southern Pacific,
Atlantic & Pacific, and other railway
operators, have won their point by
striking, and the Union Pacific oper.
ators are now trying their luck. AS
they are not connected with the
Western Union they will doubtless
win.
The railway company cannot very
we'll afford to stand strike. The
roads finances are not in too good
and it would cost more to
stand strike, even if the company
won, than the increase asked for bv
the operators schedule will amount to
in several years.
1t is, therefore, not likely that there
will be strike.

the Frisco Company, testified as to
the riot at Gem and the massacre at
the Mission, as follows:
On the morning of July 18th he
saw bands of armed men marching up
and down the railroad track at days
break. They had surrounded the
mine and mill and were on the hills
around about. About 4 a. m. he
heard shot. 1t came from the hill
back Of the mill, followed by fusil-
AIDE of hundred shots from the men
on the hill. 1t was seven or eight
minutes after the shots were fired by
the miners on the hills before it was
returned by the men in the mill. He
saw man on the hillside carrying a
box back OF the mill and towards the
hume, ana shortly afterwards an ex
plosion occurred in which the mill was
blown to pieces. Alter the explosion
the men in the mill hoisted flag Of
truce and sure ndered.
About two hundred and fifty men
marched down from the hills and or
dered the mill men to "fall in" with hats
off and marched them to the Miners
Union hall at Gem. He recognized
O'Brien, Painton, Eaton, Doyle,
Petersen and Harrington. They were
taken to Wallace. In the morning
witness was ordered by union miners
to leave the country. He went to the
depot and with about forty five ems
