Grand canon OF Colorado River

On the Santa Fe route, in northern
Arizona, 1882 miles from Kansas City, is
the town of Flagstaff. A tri-weebly stage
line runs from Flagstaff to the Grand
Canon of the Colorado river. More than
mile in depth, this is the sublimest of
gorges- Titan of chasms. Twenty
Yosemites might be hidden unseen below,
and Niagara would look scarcely larger
than brook.
Don't fail to visit this first wonder of
the world. You can tread up" about it by
asking G. T. Nicholson, G. P. & r. A., A.
4. & s. +. r. R. Co., Topeka, Kas., to mail
you free copy of an illustrated book
describing this terra incognita. The book
is no common affair; but is entertainingly
written, beautifully illustrated and gom
of the printers art.

A New Political Trick,

The money spent for whiskey and votes
by politicians of Las Cruces in the late
election would have built an adequate
system of water works for the town, put
the streets in decent condition and plant
ed rows of trees along every important
street. Money 80 spent would have
given useful and remuneratiye ploy-
ment to many men and would have made
Las Cruces more habitable and property
more valuable.
Az it was spent, the money became a
source of evil. 1t degraded men in mind
and body, made the town hideous and
repulsiye for weeks, dem oralized giver
and receiver alike and might better have
been burned in bonfire.
II candidates must spend money in
political campaigns, We suggest that they
try new plan next time. Let each can
didate devise some scheme of public i'm
prOvement that shall give beneficial en-
ployment to laborers, and put up the
money to pay honest wages for honest
work. The candidate who makes the
most improvement and whose scheme
is most popular ought to be rewarded by
popular approval.
We have no idea that the suggestion
will be considered, however.-Las Cruces
Independent Demo crat.

A COMMeECABLE EFFORT.

Governor HogQ's efforts to stamp ouI
the Standard Oil trust IN Texas are high
ly commendable, but the cunning monop-
olists have 80 manipulated their business
that it seems next to impossible that
state legislation can be go framed as to
entangle the conspirators in the msshes
of the law What the country should have
is national law to supplant the present
Sherman act, an act fostered by Republi.
cans in congress as makeshifs for any
real antitrust legislation, just as the
Sherman silver bill was engineered
through congress by Republicans to pre-.
vent the passage of free silver law.

County Officials Fees

Even under the laws regulating the fees
of county officials, enacted IN this terri.
tory in the 1923 session of the Legislature,
New Mexico still pays higher for the SER
vice of it's officers than any other part Of
the United States. Under the exorbtant
fees collected under former laws Eddy
county has been sunk to the very extreme
and involved beyond hope of liquidation
for several years to come. Still it is said
there is a movement on foot to repeal the
law regulating officers fees and going
back to the ruinous rates paid heretofore.
Every effort of the people should be
brought to bear against this piece of
work. Better keep the fees at the stand
ard allowed ID other states until we get
out of debt, then if we have more money
thanIw need give it to Office seekers

If there are frauds in the Dona Ana

and coarse efforts of the Republicans who

New MEXICAN, is that they be fully shown
up. When it comes to Furnishing crime,
politics, has no place in the NEW MEX.

much resembles the present administra-
tion of public affairs in New Mexico.

PRESIDENT CLEYELAND's reference to

YER nor have ever been in favor of the
total destruction of silver as money metal.
have always believed in as large use
of silver in our monetary system as was
consistent with the preservation of a
sound currency and the maintenance of
the public credit. Ny opinion is that
when the coinage value of metal, whether
it be gold or silver, is greater than the
intrinsic value of the bullion contained in
1t, the coinage of that metal, if tits coined
at oil, should be on government account
only. In my opinion 1t is not within the
power of the United States or any other
government, under existing conditions,
to establish and maintain any permanent
ratio between gold and silver, and an at
tempt to do so would Immediately drive
the coins of one or the other metals out
of circulation. This has been the uniform
experience in the past and there is no
reason to suppose that it would not be
the experience in the future"

Capital Will Come.

With the coming of statehood will
come the development of the resources
for which New Mexico is noted. With as
rich mines as there are in the world
with timber in unlimited quantities, with
farming and grazing lands unequalled in
the United States, with population as
intelligent and as law-abiding as the
effete east, it is beyond the mprehen-

An Explanation.
Editor of the HERALD:

Editor of the HERALD:
In your issue of the 10th inst,
under the heading of "Survey of
Bonnerport," is published a mis-
leading article, and believing you
wish to do no one an injustice, |
ask you to give my version of the
matter. 1t is incorrectly stated
that l was ordered to go to Bonner
port and make corrections in the
recent survey of said village" which,
as l never made such a survey,
would be difficult matter. / was
asked to make an investigation
which 1 consider to be to the inter
est of those desiring an official sur
vey of Bonnerport and not to make
The Kootenai herald. [volume] (Kootenai, Idaho) 1891-1904, 1894-03-24

The strife now going on in this
town is a disgraceful farce. 1t is
simply disgusting. 1t is the pet
tiest sort of petty affair. There
are barely more than enough voters
in each town to fill out the tickets
and have enough left for clerks,
judges, etc. 1t is simply a cut
throat fight and no good can come
out of it. We urge the people of
Bonner's Ferry to turn their atten-
ton to something to build up the
town and not to tear it down by
the weakening influences of strife.
Set down on the agitators. Keep
them out Of position to do harm.
1t may be asked why the HER
AID does not point out the way to
do what it breaches. The HERALD
will do it's share and our first sug-
gestion in this line is that we get
in and build a substantial school
house here this summer. Nothing
adds more tone to a town than
fine school building, and a
good school is one of the first
things looked after in a progressive
town. So far all will agree with us
but the question is how is it be Sc
cured?
We suggest a plan whereby a
$4,000 building can be secured by
next December and the burden of
cost scarcely felt in this Valley
1t is this; The Great Northern
Railway pays about fve-sixths of
the taxes in this school district.
The amount of railway property is
so great that it will require but a
small rate of taxation to raise the
$4,000 and the people living here
will have to contribute but small
share, say $500 in that whole area
from Montana to Washington and
from British Columbia to the IIalf-
Way place. 1t will require a spec
ial election in June to levey the tax
Shall we do it? Shall we have the
school house? If so, let us get in
while the opportunity presents and
carry the scheme out. This will bt
Of some good to the town. Sc
down on the rotten agitators and
Ijobbers and go to work on plans
for the general good o
the town and the place will soor
amount to something. Until ther
it will decline as it has under tn,
evil influences we have named.

Agent Phil Casey has received
information from Commodore
Troupe, of the C. & X. S. N. Co.,
that the steamer Spokane will leave
Nelson, B. c., for this place tomor-
row morning. She will probably
make her run of 125 miles in such
time as to enable her to reach here
before sundown Sunday.
Commerce on the Kootenai will
not be SO brisk this year as last
but it will still be sufficient to
make great improvement in bus
mess in Bonner's Ferry, and it will
enthuse new life into the town to
see the big boats steam up the
river once more.
We suggest that the town show
itself to possess a little style to-
morrow when the Spokane is sight
ed. Let everyone turn out to well
come her into port, and let the
opening of navigation be heralded
by the explosion of an appropriate
quantity Of dynamite
The publisher of the HERALD
wishes to acknowledge his appreci-
alton of the valuable services rem
dered by Mr.. James E. Dolan and
Mr.. Arthur B. Baines in getting out
the paper during his absence.
They got out a good live newspaper
and had we known they were getting
along so nicely and really enjoying
the business, we would have stayed
away longer The types are a lit
tie stiff yet, owing to the great
strain put upon them by having
been made to preach straight repub-
blican doctrine, but will be timber
ed up by next week. One thing we
will hesitate to risk again though
put in as strong a Mcconnell
man as Baines and as strong
Sweet man as Dol1n to run the
paper together. They might not be
able to reconcile matters the next
time.
Inspector Tim Callahan raised

lar merchant informs us that they

Omaha, Neb., April 2O.-General
Kelly is all that the good words
hitherto said of him conveyed-and
more.
He displayed the rarest Of judgment
and forttude tonight when he declined
to put his men on board a train stolen
at Council Bluffs, by the engineers and
iremen of the Union Pacific.
1t was a Union Pacific engine with
Union Pacific ears on the Rock Island
track.
Kelly declined it because The said he
had not yet broken any law, and did
not intend to start in here. There was
great excitement here all day, and it
was intensified at nightfall by the news
that train had been captured to re-
lieve Kelly.
Crowds thrOnged the streets, and an
immense open-air mass meeting was
held.
Rumors of the calling out of federal
troops, of state troops, of deaths in
Kelly's camp and of every conceivable
nature kept the crowd on tension
hard to understand, but no disorder
unusual ensued, and as if, by a miracle,
the clash that seemed inevitable was
avoided and Kelly's army slept in
camp at Weston, waiting for daybreak
to march to Council Bluffs, whence a
new start east will be made on foot.
Quiet was restored in the three cities

Then he said that if Abraham Lin

which nearly raised the roof.
