Ezra Baird was in town last
week putting the stage line in good
shape for winter. The line was
never better stocked and tho stock
was never in better condition than
at present.
A party of railroad surveyors
came down Salmon river this week
and camped at White Bird We'd
nesday. They are heading for the
prairie, but are very close mouthed,
and like the wind, which bloweth
where it listeth, nobody knows
from whence they came or whittier
they go.
Mr.. Albert Hedger, an old-time
California hydraulic miner, is out
from Elk City, where he put in
place the large hydraulic elevator
plant of the American Hill compa-
ny. He is about the most exper-
fenced hydraulic miner on the
coast and predicts a great future
for that class of mining in the Elk
City basin.
j. G. Adams, a prominent min
ing man of Colorado and member
of the Colorado Constitutional
convention, is in the city. He has
been looking over the Dixie and
Elk City mining districts this sum-
mer and declares that there is
more gold ore in sight in Dixie to-
day than in all the famous Cripple
Creek country in the Centennial
state. He is now located perma-
nently in old Idaho county.
The Boise Statesman has lust
discovered that the anti-fusion Sec
tion of the election bill proposed
by representative Thompson, of
Craig's mountain, last winter does
not appear in the law. While
calmly sleeping for month in the
hands of a committee some one
blue-penciled the section and it
was printed and passed by both
houses during the excitement of
the senatorial fight without the
trick having been detected. The
bill was aimed at the probable fu-
sion of the democrats and popu-
lists. The section prohibited the
appearance of a name on the Off
cial ballot in more than one place.
A new townsite has been located
at mouth of Big Canyon on the
Clearwater, through which it is
expected the Northern Pacific will
enter the Cold Springs country,
and which will be the head of nav
igation on the Clearwater, has been
christened Peck City by request of
j. w. Kendrick, general manager
of the Northern Pacific. George
X. Peck is general counsel for the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul and
is connected with the reorganiza-
tion of the Northern Pacific.
President Cleveland in his mes
sage to Congress repudiates the
idea that the bond issues of his
administration were made by in
sufficient revenue. Nothing" he
says, "can be further from the
truth. Bonds were issued to
buy gold for the maintenance
of our national credit. At no time
when bonds have been issued has
there been any consideration of the
question of paying the expenses of
the government with their pro-
ceeds. There was no necessity to
consider that question. At the
time of each bond issue we had a
safe surplus in the treasury for the
ordinary expenses, exclusive of the
gold in our reserve"
