The latest geographical discovery has
placed the source of the Missouri river
In Idaho. Well, Idaho will be found to
be source of good many great things
before she achieves the fullness of her
greatness.
Quite large force of men are now
employed on the Boonville mill-site,
grading the grounds and getting out
rock for the foundation Boonville
promises to be a busy place this sum
mer.
Messrs. Isay & Gombrig are removing
their Silver City store to the big build

demanded more space and they have
done the best they could to supply it,
The roads have been too bad for sew

Two Idaho counties, Ada and Bear

The Idaho World summarizes, in a
headline, a long, and dreary editorial
which appeared in the Statesman
short time since, attempting to define
Major McKinley's position on the fin

tremely, pat.
Grant never straddled, he never wob-
bled, and he never consented that any
man or any body of men should either
wobble or straddle for him, says Hon.
T. G. Platt. This is high praise. Grant
never compromised a principle, never
lodged an issue. The country would
be fortunate, indeed, if this could be
truthfully said of all our great states
men and party leaders.
