This Year and Next Year.

King Solomon once said "There is
a time for all things" and we take a
stand ON the side of King Solomon ON
that proposition.
As a point in proof, take the matter
of the State Wagon road. This year
is the time for organizing the CON-
mission, marking out the line OF the
road and making preliminary survey
Of that llne. Next year will be the
time to import labor, pay out the
s135, 900 and build so much and no
more of the road.
This year IS an of year. but next
year will be an election year. Then

the wise man, viz :. There is a time
for all things" But once again we
rise to say, the Wagon Road will run

Mn CLEVELAND has given the
members Of congress ample opportu-
nifty to ascertain the sentiment Of
business men and the country as a
whole in relation to the Sherman law.
The volume OF opinion is clearly for
its repeal and when congress meets il
can be IN no doubt in the matter.
There is no instance in the memory Of
this generation in which there has
been demand for the repeal OF any
piece Of legislation so definite, pro
noqnced and uniform as there is for
the repeal Of the Sherman law.
The News believes the demand will
be needed but not without fight.
But what is to come after the repeal
is impossible to foresee There is no
politics involved in the question OF
finance which the extra session is
called to settle and for that reason We
shall have the cooperation of the best
and wisest men Of both parties in fran.
ing legislation toquiet the existing un
rest, restore confidence and bring back
life and activity in trade.
II politics be not interviewer in the
plans Of relief something will be done
by congress before the frosts are
white on the clover, to bring back the
good days for which all are longing
as the Israelites longed Tor the flesh.

IT matters not how weak your faith
may be in the outcome of the legisla-

Snake river valley. A land which is
never failing in its crops, with eli

disease. land where cyclones dare
not come aud where storms never
leave death and destruction in their
pathway, is bound to be populous and
prosperous. Bingham county lies in
the heart of the great Snake valley
and Bingham is bound to be one of
the first counties in the state.

end with cloth. and do not forget 70

Charcoal is the best and safest de-
odorizer to use. Place some of it in
the corners Of the refrigerator, keep
it in the waste pan and in the recep.

Never put any thing ia the refrigerator
that will faint it and be especially
careful not TO put fish, lemons, vege-
tables or meat in the same compart-

The first political question to en-.

for the Republicans.
To be right and remain right, let
the people be enlisted in the selection.
Legislative bodies, such as we have
had for two sessions past, are not to
be trusted. To vote for one man to-
day and elect him, and another to-
morrow, and force long, tedious and
worrying contest will not do for an
intelligent people. Back woods poll

Of sight. Let the people express their
preference of choice in convention
and let the Legislature ratify that
choice. Then we shall be sure of the
right man.

THE estimated circulation of money

$3.50. But where is it? Scared and

refuge il their hiding places. Reptiles
conceal themselves in lava beds or in

the sound of the football of the fisher

THE STATE WAGON ROAD.
The First Bill OF Expense-.-lt Gives
Pointer to the People and opens their
Eyes About the Route, Etc.

Eyes About the Route, Etc.
The State Wagon road commission
ers are in session at Boise City and
are considering bills of expenses for
engineering, etc. The Statesman gives
the following information about the
first bill from Shoshone county, and
also tells what the engineer says
about the line of the road:
"The first lively discussion of the
session of the state wagon road COM
mlssioners occurred yesterday. 1t was
caused by the report of expenditures
of Engineer George Trask, who has
charge of the surveying on the Sho-
shone county division of the road,
and the commissioners almost unani-
mously jumped on him and his report
with both feet.
Mr.. Trask reported that of 6S miles
of proposed road in his division but
20 miles had been surveyed. His bill
of expenditures was then presented
and the finance committee looked
weak and gasped for breath when they
saw it footed up to s2,111. 0fcourse
they reported adversely on it and q
general discussion followed.
Commissioner Macnab said some
thing about highway robbery and adj
ded the prices for groceries, etc, in
Shoshone county must he ought Of
sight. He did not see how so much
provisions could be consumed in so
short a space of time by so few men
and said the bill would have to be
somewhat shrunk before he would ia
vor its allowance.
Chairman Sharp thought 50, too,
and encouragingly remarked the en-
gineer ought to he fred.
Commissioner Ireton said at the
same rate it would require all the
money appropriated to build that di.
vision Of the road to complete the
survey.
The engineer refgted some of the
insinuations, as he styled them, offer.
ed by members of the commission
and said he could prove every item
was sold at the prevailing She's hone
county prices; that everything purchas-
ed went into the surveyors camp and
was legitimately used He described
the route over which he was trying to
survey as simply awful, and inform
cd the commission it would require a
big healthy man a whole day to walk
FIVE miles over parts of it. He said
he was compelled to build trail over
the greater portion over the route sur
veyed in order to get his pack train
along"
The board may dismiss engineer
Trask or it may not. His bill may be
a steal or it may not ; but, mark you,
the people will take hand in the dis
missal business before the $135,U00
are all gone or the road is ever built.
Some of the political engineers of the
road will be sent down a declivity
sleeper than any OF the mountain
slides IN Shoshone county, and it will
take them longer to climb back again
than it took engineer Trask 20 make
a survey of rs miles. The people will
earn ali they want to know about the
wagon road before January 1895 and
some Of its engineering politicians
will learn to their own sorrow what
