terday afternoon by private convey

Bellevue Review: Harry Aller
returned Wednesday from a trip t.
Boise City, Nampa, Caldwell, Sill
yer City, DeLamar, Neal and Noun
tain Home. He went in search o.
work but found none, though a man
who can turn his hand to almost
any kind of labor. He saw . great
many "broke" men seeking employ
ment like himself. He says men
are working in Boise valley for fifty
cents day, but sowing to theilack
of confidence" there is no money
and apples are legal tender.
Weiset Signal: If Frank Harris,
Bill Sommercamp, 0. NJ. Harvey,
w. D. Shaw, Tom Jeffrey and q
host of other good democrats (not
speaking of Recorder Smith, Houl-
ahan and many leading republi-
cans)should conclude by next cleo
ton to vote the peoples party ticket,
it cannot be said that they have
back slid or gone back on their old
democratic principles. Not at all.
It can only be said that they stood
by their old Jeffersonian principles
until the democratic party had re-
fused the old standard and gone off
after new gods and left them stand
ing on the desolate platform which
had made the party great, and they
refused to follow under new flags
of monopoly and plutocracy.
Payette Independent: The fact
that Ex-Governor Hauser, of the
American Mining Co., is now in New
York perfecting plans whereby the
extensive Seven Devils copper
mines of the company are to be
worked the coming season on
large scale, is somewhat significant
when considered in connection with
the efforts that are being put forth
by Mr.. Bates and his people to
build line of railroad into that Sec
ton of country. 1t is so we'll
known that the mines of the Seven
Devils cannot be successfully and
profitably worked without trans
portation facilities, the present &C.
ton of the American Mining COM
pany furnishes very tenab BILE grounds
for the belief that the Seven Devils
railroad has good deal of life left
in it yet.
Pocatello Tribune: The School
Board has decided that, unless it
can receive some aid not now in
sight, it must close the public
schools January LIST. This is the
most serious proposition that the
people of Pocatello have been COM
PEELED to face in their history. The
danger is real and so near that it is
only by heroic methods that it can
be met, and it yet remains a ques.
ton whether the people will rise to
the occasion. We can imagine no
more sorry spectacle than a city of
the size and standing of Poeatello
with the doors of its schools closed
and its children running the streets
in idleness. It would be a blot on
our fair name that would retard
our growth and advancement more
than any other calamity that could
ever befall US.
The situation can be summed up
in the one word that has cursed the
people of Pocatello in every public
step, business enterprise and pri-
vate household extravaganza. III
ne had built $4,000 schoolhouse
instead of q 10000 structure, we
would not to-day have been staring
his grim jabberwock in the face. !
If fancy expenditures had been
opped off in the beginning, the
Devil would not have been chuck !
ing in glee to-day at the thought
IF deserted school rooms and chill |
lren running wild like young Arabs.
The question now 10 to get out of
he hole in which we have put our
selves. From very shame we muet
