Gle is cheap need not mean that
it is of poor quality. That it is
sold at a high price doesn't mean
that it is of superior quality. Our
methods have made it possible
for the people who have to count
the pennies to buy and use high
er grades of goods than before.
We sell the best goods only
and sell them cheaper than in
ferior goods can be bought else
where.
Dinner sets-ten new decora-
tions on best American ware
not the ordinary single color
printed designs, but tasteful spray
and flower decorations in greys'
blues and pinks. Sets that we
bought to make leader of at
$3.50 per set-that were de-
layed on the road, and arrived
here just in time to get into the
removal sale and be sold at
$3.50. Each set contains 100
pieces. You can never duplicate
them for the price.
Everybody can't make nut
pick or nut crack-but we have
plenty of them made by the one
man who can. He makes them
of steel, polishes them very finely
and nickle plates them. The
cracks will break any nut that
ever grew--and will not break
themselves. The picks are just
right in size and shape. We sell
6 picks and crack in neat box
for ooc.
The No. ! Keystone lamp is a
central draft lamp of the most
modern type-aud of a size that
is large enough to give all the
light you need without giving
uncomfortable heat and burning
too much oil. The usual price of
this lamp is $2, but we offer it
rather than move the stock
complete with porcelain shade
every lamp fully guaranteed, at
$I.75.

IT is TO be hoped that some member Of
the legislature who appreciates the inn
portance Of encouraging the mining in.
dustry will have bill prepared for
early introduction providing needed
regulations governing the location Of
claims Some Of the provisions OF the
Colorado law should be adopted. GER
tainly that which requires that a l0-foof
hole shall he sunk within 60 days. This
regulation has been found to be Of great
value In Colorado, and il would prove
equally valuable here. What is neces-
sary is a RECRUITMENT that something be
done upon claim within reasonable
time after location. This at once limits
the number Of claims located by single
individual and leads to developments
that attract attention TO any good dis
trict. A good district is thus kept NOV
ing ahead. whereas under the system
that we have in force, which permits
claims to be held for from one TO two
years without work every district is
held back and many good ones are for
gotten before there is any opportunity
for new men to get foothold.-States-

arrive at Caldwell as follows
IHE IRRIGATION QUESTION.

One Of the knottiest problems that the
Idaho law maker will have TO deal with
at the coming session Of the legislature
Il the water question. And the average
-e{Aszen will expect him TO earn his six
dollars per diem at least for the time
that question is up for consideration.
The welfare OF the people, the growth
and development Of the state, everything
Ia fact that pertains to the happiness
and welfare Of the commonwealth de-
mands that the subject OF irrigation
should receive the consideration that It's
importance merits, aud that some prac-
ticable scheme be devised which will
insure The retaining Of our arid lands,
in such way as to guarantee to the peo-
PIE chance at least Of occupying and
owning these lands on living basis.
The building OF canals by corporations
who demand one half the land for a
water right for the other half, and in
addition exact an exorbitant main
ienance fee each year has been weighed
and found wanting. it being losing
game always for the farmer who at
tcmpts TO live and make home under
such conditions. and also In great
many cases for the companies who build
the bitches Therefore. unless some new
l,lan is devised. il looks AS though the
vast areas of unwatered lands in the state
will remein AS they are and the growth
and development Of the state be i'm
ncasureably retarded
If corporations or individuals are I'M
able 10 successfully handle this matter
u then must devolve on the state to
take the business in hand and carry II
gut. The scheme endorsed by Govern
or Mcconnell last winter OF dividing the
state into irrigation districts and issu-
ing bonds for the construction OF bitches
rs the most fcasable OF any vet brought
forward and we think the INDEX voices
the sentiments of this community In
hoping that his excellency will reco-
mend such measure to the legislature
this winter. In the meantime we hope
the people will discuss this question and
ny to decide what is the best method OF
procedure and let their wishes be known
Va order that their representatives will
know what is TO expected Of them. Tn,
columns Of the INDEX are open for tn,
discussion Of this question and We earn
,stlN invite every one who is interested
IA the subject Of irrigation To favor the
public with his views.

wv beg leave to call attention Of any
Idaho newspaper men who may be con-

robheries being perpetrated at present

bandits Of that country have an especial

SHORT SESSION WORK.

Ihe short session of this Congress
may enact some laws Of great import
ance to the business Of the country. Il
VIII have an opportunity to do so, at all
events.
There is likely to be some attempt
made to.pass tariff amendment bills. but
IL Is not probable that the Senate will
permit anything very radical in that line.
lhere may be more serious move for
law that will permit an elastic banking
currency. and if safe bill could be
passed 1t would De long step toward
renewed prosperity and would stifle the
ciamor for free silver act.
Among important transportation bills
are those for refunding the debt of the
facific railroads to the Government. 70
permit pooling contracts by railroads
under the supervision Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, for the Govern
ment guarantee for the Nicaraguan
canal, and granting American registry
to foreign-built vessels.
Inc ani-option Dill VIII probably pass
both houses but will be vetoed. Banlc-
ruptcy legislation will be factor. though
there is no likelihood that the Torrey bin
will be considered, and the Bailey bill
(Which will probably come up) is almost
no better than nothing. The pure-food
bill and the oleomargarine bills will b.
hkely to come up, bu. neither are Of mucb |
Importance, except as examples OF the |
tendency of recent le.is-
lation.
Perhaps the most important work of
the short session will be the appropria-
ton bills. Ii is impossible to conceive
that these Will not bring the total ex.
penditure Of this Congress very near the
'otal reached by the Fifty-second Con-
sress, and raise the record of the Fifty.
second and Fifty-third well above that
IT the Fifty-first, or "billion-dollarp

A NOBLE COMPETITION.

The many hundreds who own and
breed fine horses, the thousands who
know something about what is good in
horse flesh and take lively interest in
It's achievements, and the great mass OF
folk everywhere who appreciate this
noblest and most lovable of animals
will watch with cordial enthusiasm the
outcome OF the meeting at Mystic Park
next Saturday when Alix and Directum
the two fastest trotters in the world.
will contest for the supremacy.
This, indeed, promises to be the great
est event in the history Of harness rae
ing and will be worth going thousands
OF miles to see. Queen Alix has re-
cord of 2:03i and Directum, the king.
has done his mile in 2:05l. The contest
Will probably decide the supremacy
though on the Mystic park track it will
hardly result in still further iowerine
OF the record toward the two-minuts
goal.
Thousands Of people will travel MANY
miles to see this inspiriting show-a show
that Will last only few moments. but
that within those brief moments will
give boundless satisfaction and excite
unlimited enthusiasm in the spectators.
IL will be noble competition. a contest
between two noble beasts representing
the very highest cultivation in the horse.
IL will be contest that makes the purse
OF $4,000. and the side money amount
ing to a total Of $4,000. seem a
picsyune, for no sum of money.
