WANT TO oovER IT UP.

WANT TO DOVER " UP.
The TRIBUNE 10 panied to note
that Messrs CURTIS, RAMSEY and
HILL Of tho state board Of equaliza-
ton, are not receiving the attention
which their distinguished services
to tho state entitle them to. They
have the honor of demonstrating
the correctness of . doctrine which
We have always maintained, name
", that . state board Of equaliza-
ton with assessing powers is al
ways q dangerous AID generally
q corrupt institution. With the
unhappy fate of the preceding
board. fresh in mind, they might
have been excused some degree of
timorousness, but their courage
was equal to the emergency, and
under cloak Of legal authority they
fastened to commit the same of.
fense against public justice which
ruined their predecessors. Per-
haps, it would come within the
inhibitions Of the statute against
libel to charge even state board
of equalization with official dishon-
esty, therefore, we are compelled
to credit Messrs. CURTIS, HILL and
RAMSEY with pure motives, but to
do 20 involves a melancholy i'm
parchment of their understanding.
Despite all that we can say in sup
port of their integrity-and we de-
sire to be generous in that direct
ion-they must know that at the
bar of public sentiment they stand
convicted of venality. When the
question of railroad reduction is
discussed on the street, the know
ing ones wink. while the simple
ones talk openly Of passes and per-
quisits. But The TRIBUNE does
not desire to give currency to those
uncharitable suspicious. 1t would
give US no slight pleasure to be able
to cover up the record and we only
allude to them in order that the
gentlemen may not misunderstood
the situation. We would cheer
fully bury the errors of the present
state officers with the crimes of
their predecessors, but they are
hard to cover. Through it all, we
can't help but admire the auda-
city Of the present state board
1t is, indeed, most singular exhib
ition of moral or intellectual te.
merity. A reduction of railroad
valuations at this time is unsup-
ported by justice, reason or public
sentiment and carries with it all
the odium which attached to a
similar act two years ago; yet,
flying in the face of all that, Messrs.
CURTIS, HILL and RAMSEY deliber-
ately proceed to vote reduction.
We can not conceive what inspired
those officers. It would insult
them to say they were cajoled; it
wOul be defamation to charge
bribery and it would be libel on
the intelligence of the country to
say they knew no better.

Justice to all is our doctrine, and
if there is anything wrong about
that, we can't help it.
COLONIZATION.

COLONIZATION.
Every once in while great JOY
breaks out over the country in re-
spouse to hue and cry about some
big colonization scheme. Mr..
CLINE is negotiating with a thou
sand families from the black lands
of Russia, or Mr.. SNoPPERHIEFER
has q scheme on five hundred
Pennsylvania Dutchmen, or M.
Philippe is laying in q cargo Of
hobos from Rome and the people
Of Idaho 60 into ecstasies over the
prospect. We would like to in
quire of these same Idahoan's what
better off they would be if al the
black bread-eating Russians and
half-starved, pope-worshipping ho-
hos in Christendom or out of it,
would come? If all the Dutchmen
in Pennsylvania and Fatherland
come here as colonists, directed by
some canal company, they would
be mighty little improvement over
any other brand of pestilence.
They would come here as serfs and
they would die in the same AFFECT
condition. What this country needs
is an influx of independent
people, not an invoice Of slaves. If
people understood what COLOMBIA
ton meant they would endeavor to
restrain their exultation in expect
alton in it. The immediate conse-
quence of colonization is the build
ing up of separate and distinct COM
munities. The colonists bring their
own doctors and lawyers and mer-
chants and BARRIERS and are as
completely isolated from the peo-
pie about them as though surround
ed by an impossible wall. But
there is no occasion to DWELL on
this subject. It is enough to know
that in SO far as the people now
here are concerned, it wouldn't
make much difference in effect
whether crickets or colonists came.
THE Range & Valley, weekly
paper of general circulation pub
lished at Mountain Home, Gilmore
county, Idaho, takes THE TRIBUNE
severely to task for giving another
journal credit with an item which
originally appeared in the Range
& Valley Aforesaid. We candidly
acknowledge the enormity of the
offense and humbly apologize.
The mistake was not directly
chargeable to the editor of The
TRIBUNE, because he was, at the
time, laboring under serious men,
tai alterations. We hope that no
serious damage to the Bulletin will
result from our inadvertence. We
should have known better than to
accuse it OF such production and
hope it will appreciate the gen.
erosity of its contemporary in
calling our attention to the matter
and instigating this much redress.

tropical in its righteousness. Mr..
Whitney took us through the
grounds and gave US an opportun-
ity to sample the products. As an
illustration of those, we will say
that We sampled over sixty differ
ent kinds of grapes, everv one of
which had distinctive taste. He
also took us down in his cellars
where We sampled eight or ten diff
ferent kinds Of grapes in stages Of
further advancement. The latter
test made some Of the party quite
mellow. We were then driven by
young twenty acre orchard, the
property Of Mr.. J. H. Richards, one
Of the most enterprising gentlemen
Of Payette. From the hillside We
had q splendid view of Mr.. Toole's
nursery and were driven around
Mr. Jacobson's vast orchard. OF
the smaller orchards those of
Sheriff Ireton and Mr.. Rossi are
worthy ofparticular mention. The
quality of fruit grown by those
gentlemen is unexcelled in any
country. District Clerk Keegan
has fine young orchard started
which in year or 80 will add
largely to the fruit product of Pay
cite. In the space of a newspaper
article it would be impossible to
give any adequate idea of the
orchards of Payette. One has to
see in order to appreciate them.
At the present time from two to
three carloads of fruit per week are
being shipped. We make mention
of the facts in order to show what
Canyon county is capable of. The
most interesting fact is that there
are thousands and thousands of
acres Of land just as productive
around Payette which has not been
touched for cultivation. On
Monday morning we were driven
up the Payette river on
the bench covered by the
great Payette canal. This canal
is one. of the best irrigating struc-
lures in Idaho and is practically
perfect. The work has been done
with a view to convenience and
substantiability and from an
engineering point is truly marvel.
Gus. Outside of the great Boutwell,
canal in Utah there is probably
nothing to equal it in the inter
Mountain region. 1t has been con-
structed with view to ri-fold pur-
poses, namely, foatation, irrigation
and power. Already a practical
experiment has been made of its
adaptability to foatatlon and a
boom of 200 saw logs was success
fully fioated from the Payette river
to the saw mills, distance of some
80 miles. At the present time nc
great amount of the water is being
used for irrigation but the country
under the ditch is settling up. A
telephone line extends from the
business Office in Payette along the
canal to it's head and the intention
is to some day construct an
electric railroad along the line.
The bench covered by the canal
consists of about 10000 acres OF
fine lands, capable of producing
anything known to the temperate
zone in the way of fruits, vegetables
cereals. Already a considerable
nursery has been started, and a
forty acre hop farm is under cult.

There are two new professions which
have lately been developed and are now be-
ing written about. One is the ''glorifier'
and the other i the cutter out" The
glorifier is man employed by rich but
stupid persons to make them out devils OF
fellows, don't You know. He efrequents tho
places where men congregate, goes into So
ciety and knows all the best people. Then
he tells stories about the witty things his
friend Smith says and relates instances of
his courage or shrewdness or anything else.
Smiths friends get to look on Smith as n
remarkable man. Smith becomes popular
and is made a lion. Smith pays the glori-
fer good money for his part in the transac-
tion and ever afterward poses as great
man.
The cutter ont can beof either sex There
is n rich family that has son or daughter,
as the case may he. who is infatuated with
somebody against whom the parents have
prejudice. Perhaps the object of the in.
fatuation is beneath the son or daughter in
rank or isn't just good or something else.
The parents 70 to the cutter out and give
him or her the proper instructions. The
cutter out goes to- work and fascinates the
objectionable object of alteration. The son
or daughter is thrown over and the cutter
ont gets fat fee.
II isn't everybody who would make Il
good glorifier or n good cutter out, but
there are vast possibilities for persons who
have the requisite qualities of mind and
body and the necessary belittled opinion OF
themselves that will permit them To do the
work.-Buffalo Commercial
