No End to Our Trials and Tribulations.
Boise Democrat.
The Democrat has concluded that
it is utterly impossible to avoid errors
in newspaper printing unless great
deal Of time can be devoted to inquir-
ing into facts. First comes street
rumor-nine times out of ten untrue,
but if sifted some foundation in fact
may be ascertained. This requires
time and often great deal will be
expended for a trifling item of little
Importance. But the people in
sist that they must have local news
and thus it may happen that just as
the paper is going to press some ap-
parcntly reliable idividual rushes into
the office with eyes bulged out telling
some story of apparent truhfulness.
The facts related may not be true be-
cause no sufficient time has been de-
voted to enquiry The result is g
great excitement, for the people of
Idaho are the most sensitive Of any
in the world on account ofnewspapei
publications.

Council Cutting.

From parties down from the upper
country we are given an account of
the recent stabbing affray at Council
valley substantially as follows: Mr..
and Mrs. Louis Kesler were staying
at the house of Mark Winkler and the
log drivers were near by on the river.
Mrs. Kesler desired to take a ride on
the river in the loggers' boat, which was
forbidden her by her husband. She
persisted in doing so, Notwithstanding,
and then expressed the expectation
that ssLouis would beat her" for dis
obeying him. Some of the loggers
proposed to go to- the house to see
that he did not. Some wrangling and
warm talk ensued, during which Kes-

ONWARD TO CRANE CREEK

A Good Wagon Road Will
be Constructed.

The move is on.
1t is a good move.
A well-meant move.
1t is move altogether, and son to
Crane creek" is the slogan.
On Monday the following circular
was scattered on our streets,
The time has arrived in the history
of our city and country when further
neglect on our part as citizens to
take prompt and sufficient action in
the development of our immediate
local interests is, to say the least,
damaging, and futher neglect
criminal and destructive. And it is
true beyond question that many re-
sources that surround us on all sides
are languishing more from our own
indifference than from our inability.
Our location on the railway, and more
than all our natural means of COM
munication, actually make Weiser the
base of trade with an immense coun-
try, and we are not getting the half
we are entitled to, and neither is new
territory Icing opened, nor the atten-
ton of the world called to our advan
tages. Now an effort must be made
to change the present order and give
the wheel one turn. TO this end a
public melting will be held at the New
Opera House, Tuesday evening, June
18th, at 8 o'clock, and the principal
topic will be ways and means for
constructing wagon road between
Weiser and Crane creek. This is
the first meeting; others will follow
for other purposes. This is for the
common good. Come out, every
body, men and women. Drop per-
sonal differences for once and pull
together.
Accordingly, Tuesday evening saw
number of the business men of
Weiser at the appointed place. w.
B. Kurtz was chosen chairman and
R. e. Lockwood secretary. The OBJ
ject of the meeting was stated to be
to see what could be done towards Q

Among the other buildings the Fish
cries is more nearly completed perhaps
than any. The aquarial display is no
doubt the finest ever seen in this coun-
try. In each end of the beautiful build
ing are the tanks containing myriad
forms of piscine life, among which are
specimens a mere glimpse of which is
well calculated to thrill the beholder
with wonder. This exhibit has been
thronged with visitors every day since
its installation, and no wonder, for it is
indeed an attractive sight to behold
the denizens of the deep sporting in
their native element all unconscious OF
their nearness to their natural enemy,
man.
Affairs in the Transportation build
ing are as yet in very unsettled state,
but there are nevertheless some very
interesting exhibits exposed to public
view. For instance, an immense trip
hammer in the southern end OF the
building towers away up to the high
roof almost, having the appearance OF
mountain of iron in its great bulk.
This, however, is deception, as the
monster hammer is made of wood black
ened over to resemble the metal.

the grandest hOuse-warmings the world
ever knew. and everybody was at full
liberty to come and go at will. Outside
it was not so pleasant. The unfinished
grounds were for the most part sea of
yellow. sticky mud which adhered to
boots and clothes and rendered walk
ing anything but pleasant. 1t was no
uncommon sight to see a person plas-
tered to the knees with mud, and as for
patent leather, well they were in it all
over. and no help for it. But the peo-
pie seemed to take it all good naturally
and trudged about apparently unmind-
full of the damage to boots or clothing
The most striking objects outside of
the buildings were the great statue OF
the Republic and the McMonnies fOun-
tain. The statue was uncovered for
the occasion and in its new coating OF
gilt presented a magnificent sight.
This piece of sculpture is undoubtedly
one of the grandest in the world, and
must certainly bring to Mr.. French, its
author. worldwide fame. The foun-

its crystal sprays abroad on the open

There were some queer sights to be
