Blackfoot news. (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1891-1902, 1896-05-30
From BIackfoot to Boise.

The poetry Of motion Of a railroad
train, both by day and by night, is ex-
perienced by every one making jour
ney from Blaclfoot to Boise City. The
time required between the. two points
Is given on the half shell, half night
and half day.
From Blackfoot to Shoshone is night
time, and the hour when deep sleep
sports most with the eyes oftired NOR
tails. The coach In which you ride is
all the known world 10 you, tsS you
can generally hear more thai sou can
see. The melody OF the snd\ Yer is the
principal music Of the night journey.
AT Glenn's Ferry 20 minutes are al
lowed for breakfast at Mrs. Ryan's
table. You will never experience
shorter minutes when you see and try
the breakfast. A good eater win re-

Nampa you viii have ample time TO
draw on your imagination for the
products OF the wild waste OF sage
brush country II II were in a high state
Of cultivation. But then, you needn't
tax your imagination; 1t is not in high
state OF cultivation.
From Nampa 70 Boise the country is
rapidly becoming one OF orchards, beau
tiful orchards, and they are well cared
for and cultivated. Boise at this season
is prepared for her flower festival. II
Is both beautiful and fragrant with
lovely flowers. Business during the
spring has been light. DIR. Hicks
weather has been paralyzer even 70
business In Boise, the beautiful.
The weather may interfere with bus
iness and travel, but 1t detracts nothing
from the pleasure OF visit among the
friendly and hospitable people OF Boise.
One can always have a good time dur
ing visit TO that city. Politics will
soon become the subject for every dis
course in the capital city. This is the
season for enquiry; everybody wants to
know OF every visitor all about local
politics without offering suggestions or
information about matters at home.
Just now politics is in the incubating
state.
Governor Mcconnell Is up north Wis
itlng his family, and Senator Allison is
In Washington, ID. G. The cabinet ar
rangements are all carried In the sin.
cog" hand bags. Lieutenant Governor
Bierbower Is in the city. II anything
of the extraordinary should happen the
lieutenant governor can say very truth
fully aud promptly too: "I'm here. -
The United States officers OF the de.
partment Of justice are all up north en-.
gagged In term of court. The district
court is in session at weiser, and many
OF the legal lights OF the city are alb.

Many visitors looking after mines
and mining investments are In the city
from day to day. Boise is a great GEN.
tral point for mine owners, and for
that reason alone, II for no other is des-
tined TO become city Of far more inn
portance than "Natchez under the hill. y
Some sweet day, Boise will be larger
city than It is to-day, but it will have
no.better people than some of the people
who are living there now, but may not
be when II grows and climbs up upon
seven hills.
The time honored hostclry, the Over
land, is still headquarters; headquarters
for everybody. The proprietors Messrs
Putnam &Childs are as affable, cour-
teous and watchful of patrons COM
forts as Chicago hotel men would be
with delegation OF national committee
men hunting Accommodations for the rep
resentatives Of their respective states.
There are places where you are forced
TO ask for men; when In Boise you
win see them all at the Overland.
