THE murders Of those two old people,
the Bordens was committed by some
body, but by whom is still mystery that
the detectives cannot explain What
is needed is the unprejudiced, active,
logical mind Of a bright newspaper man.
The most mysterious crimes have been
explained by those irrepressible amateur
detectives who got at the cases to
fathom, not TO deepen the mystery.

OUR cartoon today illustrates wildly
and concisely the relation of the working
man to the Republican policy of
protection. AS blared forth by the
Republican stump orators and

forth as bright sun Of promise and by
its phantom light is leading and has
long led, the laboring man on a chase for
happiness, wild and unending. When

what one sober second thought will

Republican will-o'-the wisp. is dragging

The weather to-day is likely
to be cloudy.

Such pretty things the Blan-
kets of this season arel The
Art Schools and Schools of
Design have their hand in it.
The borders of varied tints and
rich color, and again of sub
dued and quakerish tones,
were never so artistic and
beautiful. The tasteful house
keeper, studying effects in
bedrooms, knows just how a
neatly folded Blanket at the
foot with the pretty border out
will add to the general good
looks of the bed-and of the
room. Even in these days,
when the cool comes up in the
night, the Blanket may be
wanted, and if not it is a COM
fort to have it at hand.
Like the domes of Mount
Hood and Mount Shasta and
the Rockies the Blankets loom
upin the Arcade today. What
you hear oftenest from the
passers by is They are very
handsome" and we have only
to add they are very, very good
quality, and very, very big at
the prices.

A ditch enterprise of great benefit
to this country is now being worked
up by parties from the sound country.
On both sides of Snake river, and es-
pecially on the south side, there are
fats of as pretty country as was ever
kissed BY sunlight. 1t has the ap-
pearance of desert, but is merely
awaiting the magic touch of water to
make 1t a veritable garden of Eden.
The channel of Snake river, below
Shoshone Falls, Is so deep and the
river has SO little fall, that it has al
ways been considered impossible to
use its great volume of water in re-
claiming adjacent land. Many de-
devices have been gotten up for
hoisting the water on the land, but
they have all proven impracticable.
The gentlemen above mentioned have
made q careful survey OF the river,
and are confident they can take oui
a ditch which will cover large area
of elegant sage brush soil. The
ditch will be taken out above the
Warm Springs ferry, fifteen miles
from Caldwell, and cover greai
portion of the bottom land on the
south side. Surveyors to stake ou'
the canal will be in the field yet thi:
fall. IT this scheme goes, and it nov
seems assured. it will be the mos
valuable ditch property in Idaho
The soil cannot be beat and the wa
ter of old Snake is unlimited. Th'
transformation in two years time vii
be wonderful.

lieyed their ticket to be good one.
The Democrats had a weak State
ticket in the field, and many Demo-
Gratis voted for Republican candidates.
All three parties nominated good
county tickets. The Democrats
stayed with their men pretty closely,
but Republicans chopped fearfully,
and why, is mystery. Their ticket
was fully as good as the Democratic.
Republicans seemed to have voted
