MOUNTAIN HoKE has productive
capacities unsurpassed, and her peo-
pie are alive, wide awake and full of
hope and enterprise, and the Lord is
with them. If there have been any
doubters of these facts, the doubts Of
the doubters will be dispelled when
it is learned that few days ago a
chick was Matched out there, and OF
Smelling out the domestic bird the
was made that 1t had four
legs. Those high up in the lore of
signs, omens and such, know this
means that everything pertaining to
the welfare of Mountain Hume is to
double suddenly. When Mountain
Home eggs hatch chicks with four
legs, Mountain Homers have cause to
rejoice. But her rivals so gay, what
now will they say? Will they all re-
joice with a jubilant voice? Nampa,
Weiser and Payette-yes, and Cald-
we'll, too, you bet, will wall and wor-
ry and fret, when they see they are
getting SO far in the rear. They'll
trot their liars out, and the way
they'll crow and shout and boldly
strut about, with their feathers stick

A special dispatch from Washing
ton, D. C., to Salt Lake paper, un-
der date Of April LIST, says:
"Lieutenant Virgil Brumback, Co.
81, Second Infantry, whose station is
at Omaha, who some time ago ten
dered his resignation from the army
while on prolonged absense from his
regiment, and whose resignation the
war department refused to accept,
owing to representations that he was
insane, reached Washington night be-
fore last in charge of = brother off,
Ger. The two officers registered At
the Ebbitt House and arrangements
were quietly made by which, without
exciting his suspicious, Lieutenant
Brumback Was to be induced to re-
port to the surgeon in charge of St.
Elizabeth's hospital for the insane.
The matter was quietly broached to
him the next morning with no appar-
ent arousing of suspicion on the part
of the Lieutenant. Shortly after
breakfast, however, Lieutenant Brum-
back was found to be missing. A
hurried search disclosed the fact that
be had packed up his valise, paid his
bill at the Ebbitt House and disap-
peared. No traces of him have since
been discovered"

CHALL1s, the enterprising county
seat of Custer, is getting refined and
is turning her attention to the beau
ties ard hitting influences of science
as q diversion from the coarser pur-
suits of every day labor. She has
received gloves, and the denizens of
Challis lift each other with the hard
logic of ring science, and many of
them now have physiogs decorated in
the highest style of the art. This
thing of handling men and measures
"without gloves" is too coarse for this
refined age. Gloves are now all
the go.

NANPA LEADER: If indications go
for anything, we are compelled to be-
lleve that the opal fields are even
more than they have been represented.
From one little pocket found recent
ly, a hundred beautiful gems were
taken, which were full of fire and of
great value. Work is steadily going
on and almost every day something
new and startling is found. While
prospecting for opals several good
lodes have been found that are rich
with gold and silver. 1t would not
be at all surprising if we should have
a mining boom that would equal the
famous Creed boom, that occurred at
Creed, Colorado, about year ago.

STILL AETEA TINE .nAsx.u.
TfONlnTD.v

A'e"uAn Aeystone 10 still
wnoop'ng about the State wagon
road. That paper figures the Coz.
OF the road, and then adds intere.,.
and to this the cost Of keeping the
ROAD in repair, which is 6gured At
not less than $4,000 : year, and then
proceeds to solemnly declare that "a
majority Of the counties vii! receive
no benefits whatever from this 81.
penditure, yet they will hsve to nav
the greatest portion Of It." All Of
this kind Of talk Is not entitled to b.
even termed tho worst kind Of rot
It IS worse than that. Every county
IN the State will be benefited, both
directly and indirectly, and we think
the keystone is aware Of that fact
notwithstanding its rantings. 1t has
undoubtedly caught on to the belief.
whether true or not, that to be a
Popu'ist is to be ranter, necessarily.
The Keystone makes Q serious mis-.
take in assuming that the counties
F" which are TO receive no benefit
Whatever" As it claims, meaning those
through which the roads do not p.ss
We presume-are to be taxed for
keeping the road in repair. Each
county attends to the business Of
keeping in repair all roads within its
boundaries that are not toll roads.
and this one is no exception to the
rule. As for the bonds and interest.
every miner and prospecior scqusinted
with the mineral districts through
which the road will pass knows that
ITS construction will be the means of
creating wealth enough to pay both
bonds aud interest long before the
bonds are due. By this we mean
the States portion of the taxes on
that wealth. Instead of raising taxes
the road will have the opposite effect
that of lessening taxes. Besides
this, the citizens of the State will be
great gainers-miners, farmers and
all. Our prosperity is mainly based
on our mining districts. Colorado's
prosperity began with the construc-
ton of State and county roads into
the interior. This statement was
made in the Legislature two years
ago BY an able and enterprising men,
Der from Alturas who was strong
advocate of the road, and has not
changed his views, although he Is
now the most prominent Populist in
the State. The Keystone endeavors
to create the impression that the road
bill was not sustained by Populists,
but it was. Six Populists voted for
it and four against. That paper in
sists that the road bill was the most
infamous measure passed. In its
last issue, in replying to WORLD
article, it says: "The Populist mem
bers did represent their party, and
their party is proud of their records"
Those who voted for the bill are
termed "bankruptionists" by the Key
stone. How about the six Populists?
We have been punching you, Mr..
keystone, with . little bit of hope
that we could bring you out on this
point, and force an acknowledgment
that the majority of Popuists OF the
last Legislature-three-6fths of them
are Contemporaries" Thus far
we have failed. Those Populists de-
serve credit for the stand they took
for the general welfare of the State
and you do them an injustice by not
statipu how thew stood.

The keystone incidentally has
learned" it says, that the State wag-
on road bonds will be absorbed by
permanent funds now on hand in the
State treasury, and after weaving
nearly column article thereon, clo-
ses with the following paralyzing par.
agraph:
"Offer the bonds to be issued on
Workman's rotten wagon road
scheme, if they are legal, on the bond
markets of the East and if the CAPT.
talist don't want them, burn them;
but don't, for Gods sake, corrupt the
sacred school fund by devoting it to
assist in the consummation of such .
damnable fraud"
Don't be alarmed, your ''incidental
information"was not correct. State
school funds are to be invested at
per cent. and the road bonds are to
draw FIVE per cent. Please don't re.
peat the scathing expression, "dam.
nable fraud" Remember that three.
fifths of the Populist members assist
ed in carrying through that stamina.
BILE fraud"

Our Potato croo.

Mr.. EpiToR:-H you will allow
me space in your columns, ], us q
farmer, would like to call attention to
q few factg in regard TO our potato
crop of 1882.
l find that many of us have
failed to raise enough for Jul own
use and have all failed to supply our
local market, and, as a result, our
merchants are buying and shipping
from q distance 10 supply their trade.
As we have good land or which to
grow potatoes and as last season
was not extremely ~unfavorablc for
the production of such q crop, | am
led to believe tat spch failure is
largely due to the planting of the
Early Rose and Peach Blow potato.
We all know that those two varieties
were introduced here many years ago
and that according TO the law 81
nature must have been de.erCrating
for several years and from last seasons
results il would appear unsafe to
raise them as seed. The only way
TO prevent such failure in the future
is TO procure from some reliable
source new and improved varieties
OF seed Io'atoes, and the sooner the
better, F, w.
