The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1895-06-13


appointed a special committee OF repre-
sentative men in almost every line OF bus
mess represented in the metropolis. This
committee is to direct the line of attack
TO be adopted against all forms Of
cheap or fiat money. The chamber /,
body having great resources at its com
mand, and its active enlistment in the
campaign for sound money will be well
coined by the friends OF an honest curren-
cy everywhere.
There is enough in these two arti-
Giles to put every true friend of silver
on guard and make them sink every
other political idea and stand firm on
the single proposition of free coinage

Trade journals from the east and
associate press reports are full Of
business revivals, iron, wooden and
cotton mills starting. The leather
trade IN all branches is reported as
very fiourishing, etc. The only evil
dence we OF the west have is in a
general advance of prices and this
move is only one of number of 9TH
ers to follow, gotten up by the gold
robbers to throw dust in the eyes of
the people and create a temporary
and fictitious prosperity. There are
hundred trusts and com binations
in the east that could give hundred
thousand dollars each to a corrup-
ton fund and then advance their
prices in one day enough to get it all
back in due season and thus make
the people furnish a club to break
their own heads. If any of our
readers have felt the benefit of the
recent great improvement please let
us know
That Short Line receivership is
still among some of the other bless
ings hoped for and not realized, and
the recent decision of Judge Merritt
in Utah may knock the whole ar
rangement into pie, as the appoint
ment of Mr. Bancroft as assistant re-
ceiver on all lines in the Jurisdiction
Of Merritt's court would leave the
Union Pacific still in control of con
nections with eastern lines and keep
Egan from carrying out the very
points requisite for success--that is,
connection with eastern roads en-
tirely independent of the Union Pa
cific. By the way, all these little
differences among railways are ex.
pensive and in the end the traffic has
to foot the bills.
Any one inclined to be little su-
perstitious and very literal in beliefs
and construction Of holy writ would
conclude at once that the vision of
the Prophet Ezekiel must have re-
ferred to the present days. If you
don't think so, borrow some ones
Bible (you may have left your own
at church) and read Ezekiel, 1st
chap. and 10 to 21st verses, and fur
Their investigation would do no harm.
The development of the bicycle has
attained wonderful extension and it
seems only the beginning of an era
in locomotion that will be far reach
ing in its effects 1t is no longer a
toy but has assumed the dignity of a
necessity and is beginning to affect
many things. For instance, the con-
structon of roads; even the prices of
suburban property. All classes are
using them 1t raises mans ca
pacity from three to ten miles an
hour. Horses and horse feed have
to suffer; carriage factories and har-
nessmakers feel it already. Facto-
ries for the manufacture of the ma
chimes are springing up all over and
the price is coming down. The BIZ
cycle has come to stay and verify
the esprit of the living creature is
in the wheels.
Mr. James Hill of the Great North
ern is great man and minds his
own business. Others find it out
when he gets ready. For instance,
great interest was felt by the coast
people about steamer line to China
and Japan. Mr.. Hill was very reti-
cent on the matter and the first news
received is by way of an advertise
ment in Hong Kong paper and as
it is of interest we give it as follows
