We are surprised that sue

We are surprised that such
a moral and religious sheet as
the Post should run the
Monarch" whisky ad. If
they got money for it of course
nothing could be said, but
their pay consists in getting
a due bill for a case of this
brand of goods, when said due
bill is accompanied by so much
cash. The company does not
pay a cent for it's advertise
ment in cash, it pays only in
the whisky it handles and be-
fore the Post gets any it will
have to put up a certain
amount of money. Nobody
connected with that holy
sheet uses this article there
fore the ad is run for nothing
to help a down east firm to
dispose of it's goods.

The farmers of this valley
should remember that with
the free coinage of silver the
Wood River mines would once
again give employment to
thousands of miners. It
would mean a great demand
for coal for smelling their
silver ores and this would
mean greatly enlarged mark
cts at Diamondville, Rock
Springs and other camps for
Bear Lake produce. Besides
this Montpelier would be the
home of more train crews that
would eat more farm products.
Nothing is promised by Nc
Kinley and gold. Can you
fail to make a choice in this
case?

The silver camps and other
localities of the state ought
to take kindly(?) to the action
of the Boisites in organizing
a Mckinley club. It means
the capital city people, or
part of them, are dead set
against the free coinage of
silver. "A careful scrutiny of
the list reveals the fact, how
ever, that most of the promi-
nent movers in the organiza-
ton are prospective Office
holders if mckinley is elected.
Nevertheless it will and ought
to give Boise a black eye with
the towns of the rest of the
state. The capital people
have existed at the expense
of the state about long
enough.

other damage done.
The greatest damage done was at

very heavy, while In the city it will
probably reach $4,000 and may be
much heavier as the suburban districts

Five people were severely injured,

There Is scarcely street IN town
which is not strewn with lal &c branches
