The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1896-01-28

WnaJ Will silver men IN all
parties do next Fall +? History
is being fred off at rapid rate
these days and some kind of de-
cision must be arrived at. Just
gaze towards Congress. Grover
wants a bill passed for more
bonds. Democrats voted solidly
against it-all but one. All but |
AZ of the Republicans support
the measure and show themselv-
es to be better Cleveland men
than Cleveland's own party. Re
publican silver men, Democratic
silver men and Populist silver
men, it is time to drop politics,
unite on compromise ground and
fight the united and common
nemy.-Weiser Signal.
The following item in refer
ence to this State is floating
about the journalistic sea
cages ago a vast river of fire
poured down the center of the
State of Idaho. This river con-
sisted of molten lava, was 400
miles long, 100 miles wide, and
from 300 to 900 feet thick.
Across the course of this mighty
river of fire river of water has
slowly cut a channel in several
places. Born in the melting
snow of the majestic Tetons, this
river has cut its way for hund-
reds OF miles through lava beds,
in its course tumbling over num-
erous precipices until the great
climax is reached at Shoshone
falls, where the mighty river
makes an awful leap of 210 feet,
magnificent spectacle, in mark
ed contrast to the deSolate
country on either side"
