all the tillable land in the valley, that
happy section is destined ut some future
day TO become one Of the noted places on
the continent for fruit growing and the
location OF beautiful homes. The valley
is fifteen miles long and from two TO three
miles wide and through the center flows
The beautiful Bruncau river The valley
Is surrounded by high bluffs aud its eli
mate is SO mild that few places this far
north can compare with it. The head of
the valley contains several hot springs,
whose properties are just beginning to be
appreciated by lnvalids as their curative
value is being tested.
The grandeur Of the canyon above this
valley is only surpassed by the great Col
orado canyon. The Bruneau river for 70
miles runs between precipiious walls of
basalt, reaching to The height of more
than 5000 feet supplying scenery which
for sublimity picturesqueness is rarely
equaled. A great portion of the valley
is settled by old-timers who have but
little appreciation of the wonderful nd
vantages they possess rather than enjoy.
and an opportunity is here offered for
some one OF enterprise to make an ex-
tensive purchase of land in the valley
and improve it.

ridge. east of Bruneau is another locality

positive that another so or 100 feet
would get flowing well, but the
work was not pushed continuously,
as he desired, and the casing stuck
and the work was suspended. The
typographical features of this section
is similar to that of Bruneau, and
while there is abundant supply of

Colonel j. V. Brewer, Minnesota
state geographer, has made the SEN
sational discovery that the source of
the Missouri river is not Red Rock
lake, Montana, as has been stated.
Colonel Brewer has explored the
whole region Of the upper Missouri,
and has made public the result of his
discoveries. He says the longest
upper branch of the Missouri does
not flow through the lower Red Rock
lake in Montana, but comes from a
hole in the mountains, volcanic in its
character, at the summit of the Rocky
mountains, wet of Henrys lake,
Idaho, and at point bordering the
boundary between that state and
Montana The miniature river at its
commencement, striving to secure
existence from the inner walls of the
surrounding volcanic vents near per-
petual snow banks, has by its erod-
ing capacity cut its way out of that
rugged and precipitous mountain an
uplift of an enormous size, until an
enormous mountain of rock has been
cut in twain, canyon formed and
assuming the proportions of a river,
from the fowage of innumerable
creeks coming in at the sides, reaches
the valleys below, flowing into the
upper Red lake, 20 miles from its
source in the mountains, thence
westwardly, northerly and notheaster-
ly, past Red Butte and Beaver Head
rock to Three Forks, then to the
Mississippi and thence to the Gulf of
Mexico, through and past 10 states,
a distance of 1921 miles.

Why would it not be II good plan for
the leading republicans, and, for that
matter, the leading democrats TO issue
invitations to the delegates from sur
rounding states TO the national conven-
ton, to meet in this city some day just

ventlon and to have II fixed on day
when the delegates from the west and

Utah could meet without any special

ought to come Of it. Why would it not

The Secretary of the Democratic
State Central Committee sends us for
publication the following call for a
convention:
The Democrats of Idaho will meet in
delegate convention at Pocatelo on Tues
day, June l6, 1896, at 10 o'clock a. m. for
the purpose of selecting six delegates to
represent Idaho in the National Demo-
cratic Convention at Chicago, ILL.,. on the
fth day Of July, 1896; and also to select
SIX alternate delegates for the same pur-
pose, and for the transaction of such
otner business as may properly be brought
before said convention.
Each county will be entitled to one del
egate and also one additional delegate for
every one hundred and fifty votes and
traction OF seventy-five or over cast for
Edward A. Stevenson for governor at the
general election in 1894
The counties of the state, upon said
basis, will be entitled to delegates as fol-
lows:

On account of cramped times the
populist state central committee made
study of how to save money to the
followers of the party and at the same
time get delegates to the national
convention in legitimate shape. A
novel and happy plan was adopted.
The state central is to name delegates
but not desiring to usurp any preroga-
tives, those names will be submitted
to the party over the state as follows:
The state is divided into five districts,
viz, each judicial district. The
cbairmen of the central committees of
the counties Of each district shall
constitute an executive committee
for that district, and it shall be their
duty to ascertain if the names sup-
gested by the state central committee
are satisfactory to the party in gen
eral in the district. If dissatisfac-
ton is shown over any such delegate
the executive committee OF the dis
trict will call a district convention
and elect the person desired. The
state central committee will then re.
place the one appointed by the one
elected

THE BIGGEST FOOL AT LARGE
Is the individual who persistently neglects

CAPT. DReYFUs' CASE.
Government Action in Trial Sustained by Vote
Of Confidence by French Deputies.

Paris, Nov. 1S.--In the Chamber of
Deputies, today, President Brisson gave
the floor to Gen. Billot, minister of war.
when the postponed Interpolation Of
M. Castelin, Republican Revsionist in
regard to the conviction of Captain
Dreyfus, the French Military officer
degraded and sentenced to life impris-
onment for betraying military secrets
TO Germany, was called in its order.
Gen. Biilot read a short statement
declaring that the question was an ex-
trenlely grave one, the interests of jus
tice and country being at stake, and
that the court martial which had tried
and sentenced Captain Dreyfus had
been regularly constituted and after
exhaustive examination of the case had
been unanimous in pronouncing judg-
ment against him. Later the council
| OF revision had given complete cOnsd-
Grafton to the case and unanimously
rejected Dreyfus appeal from the judg-
nent of the court martial and nobody.
Gen. Billot said. had the right to reopen
the case. Every precaution had been
taken to prevent the escape Of Dreyfus
from lie du Diable, coast of French
Guiana, where he is confined. He con-
cluded by appealing TO the patriotism
Of the Chamber not to debate the ques-
ton. Applause).
NJ. Castelin persisted in the discus
sion of his motion, amid murmurs Of
dissent, and demanded the prosecution
of the authors of the campaign in favor
of Dreyfus' release, who, he said. had
spread broadcast the most Infamous
stories of Drefus having been the vic
tim of a plot.
Finally the Chamber almost unani-
rnously voted confidence in the govern
inent and the conviction that the gov
eminent would search for persons re-
spnnsible for any revelations in regard
10 the condemnation Of Dreyfus, If
there should be any occasion to do so.
The government only accepted the
order of the day in consideration of the

They previously insisted upon the order

Chamber was not disposed to vote

WINTHROP.

An amusing case of absent minded
ness occurred at the Portland Odd Fell
lows fair the other night. A well known
married lady who resides at the West
End. was seen walking about the hall
clutching tightly in her hands bran
new shoe. What she was doing with
one shoe and not wrapped up at that
was the subject of many inquiries. 1t
developed later. however. that IT was
not case of kleptomanism. but that
the woman. while standing at the
counter of the shoe department, was
shown a shoe which she absent-mind-
eddy retained as she talked rapidly win
a crowd of women as they moved
along. She then dreaded to return the
shoe for fear the man might think she
intended to steal it. and that her con-
cience had prompted the return. But
she returned it and her lady FRIENDS
had good laugh over the incident.
