Do YOU honestly think the McGee-
Middleton county-seat railroad will be
built? Do you think there is any
reasonable ground on which to base
such hope? Have you ever Inquired
seriously on the cost? Right down IN
your heart, don't you know that the
railroad talk is the veriest rot and fool
ishness. Do you know it would cost a
million dollars to build that road ana
take $3.50, 1000 year to run it? The COM
bined products of Middleton and EN-
NETT wouldn't pay running expenses;
the combined wealth of Nampa, MID
dleton and Emmett wouldn't build half
the road. The revenue from freight
and passenger traffic wouldn't pay tne
wages of an engineer and brakeman
The mail contract wouldn't net grease
and brake blocks. Don't think any
more about such wild, fanciful vaga'
ries, but vote like sensible men ano
put your county seat at Caldwell.

OTTAWA, June 15.-The unusual pre-
vaIence Of the chinch-bug pest through
this county has set farmers to devils ing
every conceivable way and means for
the destruction and capture of the in
sect A mode very successfully fol-
lowed on a former occasion was as fol-
lows:
The insect prefers wheat to corn, and
naturally feeds upon it first A gentle
man in the southern part of the county
had fields of these grains contiguous, as
the wheat ripened the bugs began to
leave it for the corn. He procured a
barrel of salt and a few gallons of
kerosene, moistened the salt with the
oil and strung a light but con-
tlnuous line of salt between the wheat
and corn, and around the ends of the
wheat field
At various intervals in this line he
sunk vessels-buckets. fruit jars, etc,
partially filed with water on which a
trifie of oil was poured. The bugs in
travelling will not surmount this barrier,
but are diverged and follow the line I'M
til they fall into the vessels. Almost in
credible number were thus caught and
destroyed Other farmers have tried the
plan this present season with success.
At the same time infected bugs were
lOosed among them with good results.

NO HOPE FOR SILVER.

In Congress This OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES emit
After Tariff Is Disposed OF
WASHINGTON, June 15.-Even the most
ardent advocates of the free coinage OF
silver are about ready to abandon the
idea of resurrectIng their crusade in the
house this session. They are not brought
70 this pass by any weakening of their
faith. but because circumstance seem to
have conspired against them lately to
crowd the silver question aside
Until a recent time Representative
Bland, the chairman of the coinage COM
mittee, has been steadfast in his deter
minatiOn to report bill to the house for
the coinage of silver. and compel the
mentors 10 put themselves on record,
particularly those who voted for repeal
of the purchasing clause of the Sherman
act!
Unfortunately for the cause of silver
coinage. the committee has almost ma
jority of but one in favor of free coinage.
Sometime ago this majority was broken
by the absence of Representative John
at home for a month.
Before Allen returned Mr.. Kilgore of
Texas. whose seat is rarely vacant, was
obliged to go south on account of illness
of his wife and is still away. Silver men,
therefore, are ready to admit that the
probabilities of further steps are small
this session. They are confident that
many southern and western men who
voted with the east for repeal of the pur-
chasing clause of the Sherman
law would be glad to record
themselves in favor of silver coinage.
One of Mr.. BANDS friends said today
that he was confident the Missouri leader
would not attempt to report free coin
age measure this session.
When the tariff bill is disposed of
there will be pressure for adjournment
which will leave but little time for any
business but appropriation bills.

prophets, thereby fixing in the minds of

depend
Among the petitioners are Charles c.
