people. Mr.. King then said there YVES
no is ok of business here, and if he had a
million dollars hescould invest it here,
and make it pay. If, however, he were
q Young man and came to this city and
saw lis streets, he would turn his back
upon the place.
Mr.. Harlow said he was an advocate
of street improvements; the bond hold
ers had no right to complain of the
settlement made by the city; the real
estate owners were the men most bur-
dened; if we wanted people to come
here we must map out comprehensive
system OF street improvements by which
10 certain time every street would be
improved; he was not welded to bonds
if the money could be raised any other
way, but he believed the increase in
values would pay the interest on such
bonds; if we did nothing to enhance the
; values of the city we would remain In
the same condition we had been in for
20 years; he favored recommending to
Council the necessity of improving the
city.
MIR. A. D. Brockett moved that the
report of the committee on improve
ments, which recommended the issue of
$500, 900 of per cent. bonds be adopted.
The question was asked if by Eugi-
neer Dunn's plan the same work could
not be done without bond issue.
DR.. Fawcett favored making the
amount 100000.
Mr.. James McCuen favored fixing the
interest at per cent.
This was opposed by several mem.
bers, while the opponents of the bond
issue thought the city would be lucky
to float the bonds at per cent. !.
Capt. Bryant said in moving to ask
Council to submit the matter to the
property owners he only wanted to
reach the point where the properly
owners could decide the question for
themselves; he wanted improvements
as much as anyone present, but had
own idea as to what $780, would do
in the direction of paving and seweriDg
the city. His motion was then reduced
to writing and was adopted with but
few dissenting votes. 1t is as follows
Resolved, That the City Council be
requested to submit to the freeholders
of The city on the first Tuesday in June
the question of the issue by the city OF
bonds to the amount of 5000. 900 to be
issued for the purpose of improving the

The Winter Wheat crop.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, March 81
The April crop report of the american
Agriculturist, based on estim stes of
county correspondents, makes the
average condition of winter wheat 81
against s53 last year. The winter was
favorable and damage from freezing
and thawing small. Everywhere e1-
cept in Wisconsin, the ground Is thor.
ougbly saturated with moisture, q con-
di.ion in direct contrast with last year.
1t is too early to forecast probable re-
suits of the winter wheat crop, but the
situation is now decidedly more favor
able than last year.

The Kootenai herald. [volume] (Kootenai, Idaho) 1891-1904, 1896-05-30

SENATOR DUBOIS has succeeded
in getting the Sampling Works bill
before the Senate for consideration.
1t will be remembered that this
bill, which provided for sainpling
works at Bonner's Ferry and other
places, was attached to what was
known as the Administrative bill
In that form Congressman Wilson
succeeded in passing it through
the house. The Administrative bill
went to the senate and was re-
ferred to a committee where it is
said that it will sleep the sleep
which knows no waking, there
being many Objectionable features
connected with it. Senator Dubois
succeeded, however, on Monday
last, in having the Sampling Works
bill attached to the Urgency
Deficiency bill as a rider to that
bill, and in this form he hopes to
get it through congress at this
session and thinks the chances are
highly favorable. Although il has
passed both the house and senate
in one form or another, it will
again have to run the gauntlet of
both houses. There is, we are
pleased to state, no reason to believe
that either house will reverse its
former decision.

Hon. A. B. CAMPBELL, of Sho-

republican nomination for governor.
Mr.. Campbell is prominent
mining man of the Ceur d. Alenes
and his friends claim that he is
highly qualified for the position.
OF course Willis Sweet can have
the nomination if he wants it, but
many believe that he does not care
for it. There is also some talk
that Congressman Wilson will be
honored with the governorship to
permit Mr.. Sweet to take his old
position in congress. If the South
retains the senator and the cong
ressman, the North should have the
governor, and Mr.. Campbell is
likely to be the coming man.

S. D. TAYLOR, Editor and Proprietor.
DUBOIS FoRTIFlEs His POSITION.

OObOlS TOhl lflES tbs FOSi
Time has proven the wisdom of
the course pursued by Senator Du-
bois in his vote on the Dingley Bill.
He defended his action in that
matter by saying that the bill was
sectional; that it gave ample protec-
ton to the East, while the West was
sadly neglected. He charged the
goldbugs with trying to crowd it
through under the cloak of an
urgency for revenue to meet the ex-
penses Of the government, and then,
when it was passed and the East
had all it wanted, they would turn
a deaf ear to the West and there
would be no hope of securing either
protection or silver. That this was
the purpose of the east, the Senator
has clearly demonstrated-and in
a most forcible manner.
A few days ago he offered an
an amendment to the Filled Cheese
bill, imposing an additional duty
of rs cents barrel on beer. which
would have the effect of putting
$25,0 100000, in the national treas
ury. (The Dingley bill only raised
$4O,0O0,0OO.) The senator said
that this additional tax on beer
would be a burden on no one; that
if the goldbugs wanted to raise
revenue, here was an opportunity.
John Sherman opposed it. So did
all the eastern goldbugs. The re-
lection of this simple proposition
offered by the gallant Silver leader,
proves that the east wants a section
al revenue bill, like the Dingley
bill, that will make the East solid
and leave the West in the soup.
And Senator Dubois is right in OPP
posing this scheme.
Readers of the HERALD should
read The great debate between Sher-
man and Dubois published else
where in this issue. Dubois has
demonstrated his ability to cope
with John Sherman on the Great
Issue. He has torn the mask OF
hypocricy from the goldbug face
and shown the true purpose Of the
goldbugs.
He has done another thing-he
has knocked the last prop from
under his enemies, the goldbug
sympathizers in this state. They
have not peg left to stand on
when they undertake to condemn
his course on the Dingley bill.
What pretext will the enemies o.
Dubois seize upon next for oppos-
ing him?
