Yesterday. (May 27th) while in conver-
sation with G. +. Fay, the gentleman IN
this city with the bunch of horses south
of town, he informed Us that out of his
bunch of 200 horses on the ranch he lost
35 during this spring and that Fletcher
Bros, tho Montana horsemen who have a
ranch down that way lost about so. It
was supposed that they were sirayed. Nj
Fay in company with the export horse
man, Pertecto Fernando, manager fer
Fletcher Brothers, rode over almost every
section for many miles around that part
of the country and succeeded in recover
ing most of the animals. but had reason
to believe that greater part of those
missing had been stolen.'

Robert Drummond Dead.

Mr.. Robert Drummond, the well
known stock rancher, who has for a
number of years resided with his fam
lily, south of South mountain, in this
county, died in Boise City on the 7th
instant, from injuries received by the
kick of horse while east, several
months ago, disposing of stock. Mr..
Drummond's injuries detained him in
the east for several weeks, and on his
return home he was in such ethical
condition that he went to Boise for
treatment. His wife and one daughter
and son were with him when he died.
Mr.. Drummond left a large family.
He was most esteemed citizen whose
death is greatly regretted by his neigh
bors.

A RAILRoAn Sure.

After the long wait and the many dis
appointments, Owyhee County at last
has positive assurance that railroad
will be built. An organization has been
completed by number of Boise gen.
tlemen who will at once secure the
right-of-way from Nampa to the river
on the line of the Babbitt survey and
begin the work of grading. Mr.. Ere
mont Wood, the moving spirit in this
enterprise, has lately returned from the
east bringing with him the assurances
of capitalists that bonds to secure the
money required will be placed as soon
as the grading to the river is well un-
der way. Mr.. Wood also announces
that arrangements for letting contracts
for grading from Nampa to the river
have been made, and that work will be
begun without unnecessary delay. 1t
looks like a go this time.
Mr.. Woodworth, with his Montana,
Idaho and California proposition, has
not been heard from for some time
past, but we hope to see him bob upse-
renely again and start another boom
for that long talked of and much de-
sired road
Nampa may yet become what her peo-
pie have long called her-the Junction
City and if Boise only once makes
this start out of her sleepy indifference
to the opportunities confronting her,
she may yet become the metropolis of
5he wonderful mining, agricultural and
lumber country which surrounds her.

to supply them. But surprise was ex-
pressed that the applicants had come
across the ocean on such an errand;
for they we're told that they conld have
been accommodated without difficulty
by concern in Mulberry Street, New
York, with which the agents in Italy
were connected. Surely some means
can be found to make the existing law
more effective.
The immigration Restriction League
asks congress to raise the tax on immi-
grants to ten dollars head, and to ex-
clude entirely "an persons between the
ages of fourteen and sixty years who
cannot read or write the English Ian
guage or some other language" A bill
with these provisions has already been
introduced. If enacted and enforced
it will operate as a powerful check on
the influx of ignorant and impecunious
aliens.-Youth's Companion.

A dangerous Passage in the Rhone.
Feb. 1, 1896.


Below Viviers the Rhone breaks out
from its broad upper valley into its
broader lower valley through the de-
file of Donzere. Here the foot hills of
the Alps and the foot hills of the Ceven-
mes come together, and behind this nat
ural dam there must have been ancient
ly great lake which extended to the
northward of where now is VaIence.
The defle is veritable canyon that
would be quite i'll place in Sierra Madre.
On each side of the sharply narrow
river the walls of rock rise to a sheer
height of 200 feet, The rush of the
water is tumultuous. In midstream,
surrounded by eddies and whirling
waves, is the Roche des Angalais,
against which the boat of lucl1less
party of travellers struck and was shat
tered a hundred years ago. Indeed, so
dangerous was this passage held to be
of old, when faith was stronger and
boats were weaker than in our day of
skepticism and compound engines,
that it was customary to tie up at the
head of the defile and pray for grace to
come through it safely; but nowadays
with the same practical result) they
put extra men at the tiller and clap on
more steam.-Thomas Janvier, in Cen
tury.

The Gates still Open.

1t is never safe to predict what con.
gress will do, but it is reasonable to
suppose that the immigration question
will not be entirely neglected during
the present session.
The President has called attention
to the persistent violation of the law
now on the statute books, which pro-
hibits the immigration of aliens under
contract to perform labor in the United
States. The penalty for this offense
is severe. Nevertheless, by the So
called padrone system, large numbers
of men are annually brought to the
United States and farmed out in va
rious parts of the country, Italy has
been the chief field of operations of the
contractors who thus violate our laws.
The report of a special commission
which our government sent abroad sew
eral years ago to investigate the sources
eff European emigration, furnishes alb
undant proof of the Presidents state
ments. 1t was found that hundreds of
agents, scattered throughout Italy,
we're actively promoting the movement
of the discontented classes toward Am
erica.
Two of the commissioners, represent
ing themselves as persons looking for
contract laborers, found agents ready

She Got tho Cloth.

A young lady of Reno walked into a
store there the other day and selecting
piece of cloth, inquired what it was
worth. "Four kisses per yard, replied
the polite clerk. The young lady was
abashed for a moment, and then re-
piled she would take four yards. The
cloth was cut off, nicely wrapped up and
handed to the fair purchaser, who re-
ceived it with smile and said "Send
the bill around to my grandmother /;
she will settle it."

What wonders are being developed in
the realms of science in these years
ending the nineteenth century A
light has been discovered which throws
its rays in a straight line through
Opaque bodies, making it possible to
photograph objects obscured from the
sight of the eye; new carbide calcium
gas is being manufactured, giving a
light almost equal to the brilliant lime
light and at cost, it is claimed, much
less than coal gas light; a Japanese
physician has discovered cure for
cancer; New York physician cures
consumption; cholera is no longer
dreaded as a pestilence because it's
ravages can be prevented by inoccula-
tion, similar to that employed for the
prevention of the ravages of small pox;
rifles are being made which continu-
ously discharge 400 shots per minute;
submarine vessels, almost as complete
as the one pictured by Jules Verne, are
frightening the navies of the world;
wondrous uses of electricity as a power
and a servant of man are daily being
developed and applied; vehicles are
travelling over our ordinary roads by
motor power, doing away with the en-
ployment of horses; and yet, with one
of the richest mining districts in the
West, within her boundries, Owyhee |
county is still hoping and praying for
a plain, ordinary, old-fasIioned steam
railroad. Owyhee people still gaze
upon big freight wagons, trailed over
her SUBMITS by mule and horse teams.
