For the past week Mr.. Ssifert's New
York Macon Telegraph has been con
spicuous at this Office by its absence
1t evidently didn't relish some whole
some truths told in these columns IN
which it was concerned. Mr. Seifert,
who is resident of New York, now
claims to be a democrat, but when he
lived in Georgia he did his best to turn
the affairs of the state over to the worst
element in it. He was so active that he
attracted the favorable notice OF the re-
publican administration, and was re-
warded by being given position IN the
Macon poslofice. He was no ordinary,
every day republican, but partisan VINO
was anxious to turn the interests OF the
state into the hands of the republicans.

party. The gentleman left for his new
place of residence last summer, accom-

he has found the climate in Matamoras
almost unbearably hot. 1t is but snort
distance beyond the Texas boundary line'
Then. too, for an enterprising American,
the place was very small and slow-going.

building will be 50x62 feet, by 20
feet high, and it is their purpose to
fit it up in first-class style for hO-
tel purposes. There will be forty
rooms in the building which will
be elegantly furnished. A brick
cellar, 26x36 feet, is also part of
the specifications. The dry branch
of Three Mile creek is to be riprap-
ped, filed in and graded, so that
teams can drive right across the
branch and guests alight at the
front door. This alone is very
valuable improvement to the town

make a level stretch clear up to

From Congressman SWect.

A letter to the editor from Hon.
Willis Sweet, dated Feb. 10, among
other good things, says:
1--WE are in the midst of the sill
vcr discussion again, and it is like
ly to last during the coming week.
l think it will be of more value
than the debate during the Special
Session because ii has started with
more delibcration, and there is
probably less pressure from the ad-
ministration relative to what shall
be said and done. l have been
stirring up the post-Oflice inspector
again, and still hope for favorable
results.
The Nez Perce Indian reserve
matter is now before the House
and has been referred to the Com
mittee on Indian Affairs. l have
an appointment to appear before
that Committee on Tuesday next,
when the real work will begin.
Nothing but the condition of the
Treasury makes me fear the out
come, but | do not doubt our abil-
ity to get the measure through in
some shape. OF course the main
thing is immediate action.
Sincerely yours,

I'm DOrtdHt to Teachers.

Judge CARRIER has received from
the state superintendent of public
instruction circulars giving full in
formation regarding state exami-
nations, requirements for state di-
plomas and state certificates with
or without examination also ap-
plication blanks to be filled out by
applicants. The first examination
will be held at Boise City, COM
mcncing April 10. Teachers desir-
ing to take the first examination
must make application before April
|, as blanks must be filed with the
state superintendent at least ten
days before date set for examina-
tion.
Questions submitted to the APP
plicant will be in no way technical
or restricted to particular authors.
but will be sufficiently broad and
comprehensive to require "a reason
ably through knowledge and clear
understanding of the several
branches in which applicant will
be examined. In establishing the
requirements for certificates and
diplomas, the board recognized this
fact-that the higher the educat-
ional qualifications, the greater the
skill and experience, the more
surely will follow that superior ex-
cellence in teachers from which is
to come an elevated and efficient
school-and accordingly so placed
the standard to give assurance of
ability and professional experience,
and too, that our state credential
may represent worth and merit
only.
1t may be that some of the
teachers of your county wish to
attend and if so it would be we'll
for them to apply to this office for
"circulars" and application blanks.

The Squirrel Pest.

DEAR PARKER:-In the spring /
propose to commence the war for
the determination of squirrels, and
taking the advise of the +. p.
shall dose them with bi-sulphide of
carbon, and later on will give you
my experience concerning it. l
think our county commissioners
made mistake in the scalp boun-
ty business. They should have
given three cents per scalp up to
April |, and two cents for the bal
ance of the season after that date.
l predict the scalp item next year
will astonish the taxpayers of Ida
no county, and if the counties of
Nez Perce, Asotin, etc, have no
bounty law, you may look for an
eye-opener.
l think the best interests of far
mers and Taxpayers require that
all farmers unite in using the car
bon bi-sulphide. Unity upon the
part of the farmers of district
will accomplish wonders where
thousands of dollars expended in
bounties will accomplish compara-
lively nothing. l recollect during
the cricket scare of 1890, several
farmers combined together and
herded their hogs where the pest
was thickest. The result was that
the hogs destroyed the crickets ant
we have never been bothered with
them since. The same unity of ac
ton in regard to squirrels will re
suit in the speedy determination o
this destructive pest also. Afte
reading the article about the effects
of the bi-sulphide of carbon treat
ment by our neighbors over north
published in last weeks f. P,
am more convinced than ever tha
it is the most effective weapon ev
er put into our hands to wage tn
war of determination against tn
squirrels. Some are prejudice
against its use because it is the in
vention of a college farmer" an
scientist; but its origin is imma
terial as long as it answers ou
purpose. Either the farmer mus
exterminate the squirrel or til
, squirrel will exterminate the fal
F mer. Yours truly,
PRoGREss.

Our School Bonds.

The sale of the school bonds will
probably be delayed for some time,
owing to the RECRUITMENT of the at
torneys employed by the purchas-
ers. The boundaries of the district
are needed for one thing, and there
is no record thereof in this county,
as school districts and 2 were
organized when Camas Prairie was
part of Nez Perce county, and it is
doubtful if there is any record in
Lewiston. All these matters must
be straitened out, and it takes
time; but we will get there by and
by. Meanwhile the trustees do not
care to select either a site or a de-
sign for a building until they are
sure of having money to pay for
the same.

is at present in u state of collapse,
upon its ruins has grown up a more
permanent, useful, and in the long
run. more profitable enterprise of
stock raising. These great hills
which inclose the Salmon, and the
plateaus and deep canyons between
it and the Snake are covered with
bunch grass, which makes it pre-
eminently a grazing country, to be
occupied chiefly by cattle raisers.
This country will always be utiliz-
ed for grazing purposes, and it
needs no prophetic eye to see in
the future immense flocks and
herds of cattle roaming over the
entire hog-back ridges south of the
Salmon and grazing over all the
broad expanse of mountain, mead
ow and valley, and finding every
where the most abundant natural
and nutritious pasturage the year
round, and accumulating at a rate
of increase unparalleled elsewhere,
so that Salmon river-she is doing
it to-day will roll up her wealth
in a far greater and more enduring
volume than ever came from her
mines in her palmiest days. 1t is
a veritable paradise for stOckmen-
and for some who don't own a
hoof! All along the river we note
horses and cattle, sleek and fat as
butter, grazing contentedly in
lunches on the green grass below
the snow line. 1t is the winter
range par excellence.
The formation along the river is
generally slate, with occasional
we'll defined belts of basalt, as at
John Day, and again at Freedom.
But the basaltic formation really
begins at White Bird and then
spreads away back to it's head and
to Camas prairie, and east of the
Clearwater, and following down
the Clearwater with only occasion
al outcrop of the primitive rocks
until it unites with that great vol
canic overflow which covers the
Columbia and lower Snake river
basin. Where is the mighty vol
canO that vomited forth these vast
fields of liquid fire which submerg-
ed the primitive rocks of mountain
ranges beneath a thousand feet of
molten mud and reared these huge
hills through which our rivers have
silently eaten their way?
