wallis, Gen. Washington issued
the following notice to his army.
"The General is sorry to be in.
formed that the foolish and pro.
fame practice of cursing and swear
ing, a vice hitherto little known in
an American army, is growing into
fashion. He hopes that the officers
will, by example as well as by in.
huence, endeavor TO check it, and
that both they and the men will
reflect that we can have little hope
Of the blessing Of Heaven on our
arms If we insult it by our i'm

a vice so mean and low, without
any temptation, that every man of
sense and character detests and
despises it,"

A SERMON ON EDUCATION

In the Congregational church
recently, Rev. Mr.. Hurd spoke on
"The educational opportunity of
the Cherokee nation" The text
was Isa. 1876, "And wisdom and
knowledge shall be the stability of
thy times, and strength of saliva
walton; the fear of the Lord is their
treasure" Noticing the high place
which the prophet assigns to in.
tellectual culture, as next in i'm
portance to the fear of God, the
speaker referred to the bill now
pending in congress proposing to
pay nearly sS,60O,OOO for the
Cherokee Strip, and to the belief
quite common that a survey, allot.
ment in severalty, and statehood
would follow at no distant day the
completion of this sale. As a cit
izen of the United States, he might
properly speak of what the states
had done for education. Passing
in brief survey the founding of
Harvard and other colleges by diff
gifts of the general government to
education were spoken of at some
length. The principle controlling
the action of the government is
happily expressed in the memor-
able words of the ordinance of
1857. Religion, morality and
knowledge being necessary to good
government, and the happiness of
mankind, schools and the means
OF education shall forever be en-.
couraged." Up to 1888, land had
been granted to the states amount
ing to over seventy-eight million
acres, yielding upwards of $780, /
OOO.0O0. bssidoo salt and swamp
lands amounting to over s57 ,OOO.- |
600 had been donated, and in 1887 !
a surplus of s2S, 100000 had been
distributed to the states; a large |
part of both these gifts was devoted |
to education. This estimate makes |
no account of still larger state and
municipal appropriations for this
end. AS a matter of course, the
Cherokee nation has had no part
in these extensive donations. In
proportion to their ability their
educational efforts are deserving
Of great commendation, though il
IS not to be expected or supposed
hat they have done all that is nee.
'ssary in this course. The Strip
money will give them an oppor-
unity to do something excellent
or education. If but one.tenth of
his were sacredly devoted to com
non and higher education it would
.onier great and lasting favor on
he nation.
The speaker, himself an educa.
or, expressed the desire that the
oung men of the Cherokee nation
nlght see the splendid opportun-
lies for usefulness and honor now :
pen to them, and aspire to an ed 4
cation that will fit them to do
lese duties worthily; citing an
tterance Of Joseph Neesima con-
erning the New Japan: "The a
me will soon come with US when a
le poorly educated will be obliged
retire from the public service as 0
aders Of society" n

And the important part of it all
is the ingredient of commerce, law

5000, 900 acres along the southern
Kansas border ought to be settled

that much of the United States
and so have the citizens of Kansas.

James G. Blaine Dead.

The greatest American of his genera
ton lives now only in the memories of
the people of nation whose institu-
tions none loved more than ho
James Gallespis Blainesis dead. Now
that he is gone, and partisan malice
and prejudice will DE laid aside, scarcely
an American will be found who will not
be willing to admit that when he died
he had no peer in statesmanship ia his
time, and that the Western Continent,
and all the republics thereon, had no
truer friend or more valiant champion
than be. His love for free Institutions
and of democratic government was not
confined to his own country, and wher-
ever the people claim the right to make
their own laws and choose their own
executives the name of James G. Blaine
will ever be held in reverence. The
very qualities which made bim great
made him enemies, and no greater
tribute has been paid to his true man
hood than has been given by the COM
ments of the English press since his de-
mise, upon his character He was the
one American at the head of the State
Department whom Englishmen could
not overreach in diplomacy or oyerawe.
He was friend of peoples and nations
which British rule oppresses, hence
they hated him. Let them vent their
spleen on his remains as they will, his
memory will be revered wherever a
love of human liberty exists. Too great
to achieve the highest position in his
own country he has acquired greater
honor, in winning love of his country
men which makes him one of group
where only few can find place.

The Snake River Dam and Canal.

The following, from the Salt Lake
Herald, is information from one Of the
promoters of an enterprise of more i'm
portance to Owyhee County than her
great opal and possible diamond mines |:
"J. NJ Rutherford never feels that he
is in normal condition unless be is con-
nected with some big irrigating scheme
involving a million dollars. He has just
returned from Idaho, where he has been
promoting a project of considerable pro-
portions.
Mr.. Rutherford was seen at the Tsm-
pleton hotel yesterday.
What is your latest scheme p asked
the news hunter.
4 have Just concluded the formation
of company for big irrigatiDg propo-
sition at Nampa, Idaho. The water is to
be taken out of the Snake river eigh-
teen miles east OF Nsmps, near the Or
egon Short Line. The main canal will
be on the south side of the river, nearly
100 miles long and covering over 250 900
acres of ground, all between the river
and the mountains on the south side.
We expect 10 fnme the river at a point
due south from Nampa and carry the
water across to the north side, and after
extending the canal on for thirty miles
empty the water into the Boise river be-
low Caldwell. This part will irrigate
10000 acres.
The engineering corps is in charge of
Captain Sayles and the enterprise will
cost, when completed, Sl.500,000. The
capital is furnished by Seattle and
Walla Walla people.
1t has been demonstrated that it is
safer to invest large amounts in irriga-
ton enterprises, for the profits are more
than proportionately larger All canals
constructed in Idaho during the last
three or four years have yielded hand
some advance on the capital invested
and are considered great financial sue

Iron and Reduction Works, Limited,
Boise City.


| Itshould be a matter Of considerable
Interest to Owyhee mining men to
know that Boise City can boast Of a
foundry and machine shops capable OF
turning out every character Of work for
mills and hosting works in 4 satisfac-
! tory shape. The writer OF this, for the
purpose Of giving the readers
of the NUGGET moro information on
this subject, paid visitto the shops
Of this firm and was surprised to see the
extent and character of their iron work
ing machinery and their we'll equipped
foundry and pattern shops.
Their shops are located under the
bluff, on the south side Of the river,
whore they have the advantage OF the
fine water power supplied by the canal
on the bluff, and all their machinery,
including tho blower for the foundry, is
driven by a Pelton wheel. The machine
shop is large two story building
equipped with lathes, planners, drill,
borer, thread cutters, milling machine
and keyseat cutter, corundum wheels
for grinding, and large pattern shop
on the second floor. Adjoining this
building is foundry with cupalo Of
four tons capacity and all facilities Of
making large and small castings. Every
thing about the shop and foundry is
first class, the iron working and other
machinery bsing all new and of the
latest improved character, enabling
them to turn out massive or light and
delicate work with an accuracy and fin
ish equal to that ordered from Denver
or San Francisco.
Captain James Baxter, the manager,
is practical machinsst and millwright
whose experience in building mills and
mining machinery enables him to fill
all orders satisfactorily. There is really
no good reason for our mill men send
ing away from home for shoes and diss,
or repairs to their machinery, or even
for new mills or hosting works when
