CORRESPONDENCE
Editor Union:

express my true sentiments.
The name Joseph is dear to me-
and / have long wished to express
my feelings on that subject, and,
having heard read (for / am blind
and cannot read, an article in the
Union headed "a Double Birth
day." both being christened Joseph
it aroused my thought on the
subject, and l will now say that,
though there may be, and no doubt
is, some who would disgrace the
name, yet [ do not think there is a
name in all Christendom that will
stand so high, at least so far as
the number of individuals bearing
that name are concerned.
The name to me is almost sacred,
next to that given to the babe of
Bethlehem.
/ will now mention few of the
most prominent among them, and
leave the balence to be summed up
by the readers of this article.
l will first mention the little
dreamer, son of Rachel whose
dreams aroused the jealousies Of
his Brethren who sought his des-
truction and finally sold him Into
Egypt, by which means he became
the savior Of those who had pre-
viously sought his life and he thus
saved his Fathers whole house,
consisting of over forty members,
as also Egypt, together with the
people of the surrounding country,
from perishing in the seven years
Of famine. Also his blessing pre-
vailed above his brethren.
| Next in order comes the last
born Of Lehi, born in the wilder
ness, while on their journey to
the Promised Land, nearly SIX
hundred years before the birth of
Christ. His blessings and his
| posterity extended to the fulness
of times.
| 1 will next mention the Joseph
who espoused the Virgin Mary
and became the foster Faith, Of
the son of God, and in obedience
to the voice of God fed into Egypt
to save the child from the hands
of the Assassins, and again obeyed
the heavenly voice and returned to
his native land.
Next in order comes the Joseph
who begged the body Of Christ,
after he was crucified, and laid him
safe in his own sepulcher.
[ will now mention q Joseph,
the sen of one Asahael Smith. He
(Joseph) became the Father of
another Joseph, who, in fulfilment
OF a manifestation of his Grand
father, Asahael, that one of his pos
terity would yet Revolutionize the
world on Religious matters. He
was Joseph Smith Jr., whose his
tory and labors we are all familiar
with. can truly say he was the
greatest prophet, and performed
the greatest work of any man ex-
cepting Jesus, that ever dwelt up
on this earth.
Then l will next mention Joseph
Young, to whom the Prophet sal
Brother Joseph, the Lord has
made you President of the Seven
ties" to which position he was
afterwards ordained and set apart
and filled with honor, until he
died with old age.
| L will now mention Joseph f.
Smith, son of the Patriarch Hyrum
Smith, who is now the third man

DEPUTY CASE FINALE.

Something over a year ago,
Sheriff Campbell, of this county,
made application to the commits
sioners for authority to appoint a
deputy whose compensation
should be fixed by the commits
sioners and paid out of the coun-
tvs funds. After due consider
alton, the commissioners rejected
Mr.. Campbell's application,
whereapon appeal was taken to
the district court. Upon a stipu-
lation of facts, Judge Richards
rendered judgment directing the
commissioners to authorize the
appointment Of a deputy at reas-
enable compensation. The COM
missfoners, thereupon, appealed
to the supreme court and the case
was argued yesterday, THE
TRasuNG has in the past taken
very decided grounds on this
question, and is still Of the opin-
ion that the commissioners ac;ed
legally and rightfully when they
refused to authorize the appoint
ment of a deputy at the public
expense. 1t is needless, and

AN ENooURAaINg SYMPTOM

The crop Of Popocratic newspapers
which now show that they knew what
they were doing when they followed
Bryan, is not small. For instance, the
Mobile Register, one Of them, remarks:
"The Democrats of this country win
have to learn as truths these things be-
fore they can ever again hope to con.
troll the government Of this republic:
THAT bimetallism, or the concurrent
use of gold and silver coin at a parity,
is a myth.
"That there are never two monetary
standards in use at the same time.
That there is no possibility of keep
ing two metals at same valuation.
"That there is no natural antaGOnistn
between labOrsand capital.
"That socialism is negatiOn of prog
ress; and that progress is the keynote
Of the republic.
"That the Federal Government has
the right to execute its own court pro-
cesSeS.
THAT the credit Of the United States
must be sustained"
Here Is = confession by our Southern
contemporary that it was lately en-
gagged, Ostensibly, we suppose, from
motives Of party regularity, in an at
tempt to excite labor against capital, to
arrest social progress, to subvert the
Federal Government, and to destroy the
credit of the United States. 1t is need.
less to question whether this grave In.
dictment will lie most heavily against
the Bryan movement, the Mobile Reg.
lister, or the surrounding community
whose supposed sentiment led our con-
temporary into the rascally business 1t
now so frankly denouncss.
We hail with satisfaction, though,
such evidence that IL what is left of the
Democratic organization were again
put to the strain Of a Populist- free.sl'.
yer campaign, the revolt of the Dem.
Ocratic press would be much greater
than 1t was in the campaign just ended.

streets are becoming more regular by
the advent Of new business and dwel
ling houses.
The first structure that strikes the
eye is a magnificent new brick hotel,
with all modern attachments and con-
Yeniences-ba rooms, barber shop,
sample rooms and bar. 1t Is now in
course of construction being built BY
hotel company and conspicuous among
the projectors is E. NJ. Barton, sheep
man and capitalist, and one of the
most pushing and energetic men Of
Washington county. The building,
when completed, win be about so K 80,
two stories high. It is being erected
on the post Office square.
On Gospel Hill, north of the city, the
brildi1gs constituting the Weiser
Academy are being erected. There
viii be five buildings, with accommo
dations for about 200 students. Two
buildings, the chapel and dormitory,
are completed and the academy proper,
is in course of contraction. They are
all well built frame structures. The
chapel is being used temporarily for
for the academy. A bus runs regular.

for the accommodation of students. Rev.
Paddock is experimenting the work
of construction and is deserving of
great praise. He is giving Washing
ton county one of the best institutions
Of learning in The state.
The public school has been enlarged
by adding two more rooms making six
in all. One more teacher has been en-
gagged. The town is to be congratu-
lated upon the increased. Cdu ,at!cnal

Willoughby Adams, one of the solid
farmers Of the county, is having cosy
cottage built in the old town near the
public school.
Many other improvements are being
projected, some are in course of con.
struction and others have been COM
pieted. The people are generally well
pleased with the outlook.

WONDERFUL MINES.

Recently Governor Mcconnell
paid a visit to the Rock creek
and Willow creek mining dis
tricts, and as he is known to be
practical mining man of wide
and long experience, the report
he makes is entitled to the great
est consideration. To a Boise
Statesman representative, the
governor said:
Even the people who live within %
or 30 miles do not seem to realize the
vast stOrehouse of wealth which is in
their immediate vicinity. The Cliscoy-
cry and development of this region, ex-
tending from Shafer creek te Willow
creek, opposite Emmett, has devolyed
upon men who in most instances are
not practical miners, as is shown by
the manner in which they are attempt,
ing to develop their locations.
l entered many of the development
shafts and tunnels and have brought
with me specimens of the ore. 1 have
no hesitancy in saying that in resi-.
dence of 80 years upon the Pacific
coast, during which time / have pros.

ties as those presented in the Willow
Greek and Rock Creek districts at the
present time.
predict that within the next IL
months there win be such develop
ment in the vicinity of the mining dis.
tricts named, which are in such close
to Boise, as viii startle the
mining world. Not one, not ten, but
dozens of prospects have been Clisco7-

ties, and the Deseret News, the
authorized organ Of the churchs
has come out in an editorial warn
ing the legislature against elect
ing Apostle Thatcher. Accord
ing to the Salt Lake Tribune,
the Mormon organ goes so far as
to openly proclaim that the church
itself win interfere to prevent
such a result. This amounts to
reopening the old Mormon fight,
and, if all true, indicates that
Utah s statehood was premature,
and that the Idaho legislature
should have paused yet awhile
before repeating the test oath.
The Salt Lake Tribune of the
18th, discusses the subject in a
double loaded editorial, but as
that journal is not yet quite re-
covered from the shock incident
to the late election, its fears may
be exaggerated by its nervous dis :
order. Let us hope so anyway.

cred which bid fair TO rival the Com.
stock Or the famous L. Roy.
As Caldwell-i IS the nearest rail-
road point and the only town Of
consequence convenient to this
wonderful mining district, it will
naturally become the shipping and
supply point. What the gov
ernor says about the people near
by not realizing the vast import
ance Of these mines, is eminentIy
true. Even here in Caldwell,
less than 40 miles distant, with
many Of the properties owned by
our people, there does not seem
to be any interest much taken in
the discoveries and developments
being made. In fact, many
car loads of ore have been ship
ped from here, yielding hand
some returns, but nobody notices
it particularly. 1t seems however
this indifference can not endure
much longer. The Willow
Creek country is coming rapidly
to the front and its fame is travel
ing abroad. By next spring it
will be talked of from San Fran
cisco to New York. Experts
backed by ample capital will be
nosing about and some fine morn
ing we viii awaken to1the fact
that a mighty mining boom is in
progress right in our dooryards.
The future of Willow Creek is no
longer conjecture. The gold
is there and the time is at hand
when it must come forth to bless
and prosper the land.

the congratulatory notes which
between Col. Budlong
and elect Steunenberg.
They breathe the spirit of true
Americanism and indicate that
both gentlemen can rise above
mere partisanship.

sPEoks ON THE SUN.


Last week THE TRIBUNE pub
lished a special correspondence
from Logan, Utah, which went
to show that trouble is brewing in
the Mormon church. Apostle
Moses Thatcher has been under
the church ban ever since he re-
fused to assent to the pronuncia-
mento issued by the authorities
about a year ago. The substance
of that edict was that all members
of the Mormon church should be
politically free and independent,
except as to certain high officials
who were forbidden to participate
actively in Political matters with
out first obtaining consent from
the First Presidency. Apostle
Thatcher rebelled, and openly re-
pudiated the authorities. For
this he was temporarily suspend
ed and has since been subjected
to severe criticism. But a large
faction of the Mormon church is
standing by Thatcher and there
fore the contention becomes a
matter of serious Importance.
Recently, Apostle Thatcher was
cited to appear before the SUI
preme council to stand trial. He
demanded public hearing, but
this was denied him. AT this
juncture a new phase of the quar-
rel is developed. Apostle
Thatcher has indicated his willing
ness to accept the United States
Senatorship from Utah if the leg
lature, soon to convene, should
to elect him. OF course,
he has not received the consent
of the church to stand as a candi-
date and moreover refuses to ask
it. He holds that he is under no
obligations to consult the church
on the subject. This puts the
authorities in an awkward !
Apostle Thatcher
refuses to submit to the church
authorities, therefore, he ought
TO be excOmmunicated, but |
should that extreme measure be |
resorted to, it is probable that
thousands of Mormens will follow
Thatcher out of the church and !
dangerous schism win be the re-
suit This danger is intensified
by the fact that Apostle Thatcher
was named by the Utah Democ-,
racy year ago for the United /
States Senate and as the Demo-
Gratis have full control of the leg
stature, he is very liable to be
elected Senator. Such an event
would not only be humiliating to
he authorities, but extremely
dangerous to the church itself.
Fhe fear Of this appears to have
lriven the authorities to extremi-

THE LAW is VALID.

In July 1895, Judge Ross, Of
the United States Distric Court,
held the Wright irrigation law TO
be unconstitutional THE TR1D-
UNE dissented from that decision
and predicted that Judge Ross
would be reversed by the SUI
preme Court Of the United States
As win appear in this paper,
Judge Ross has been reversed
and THE TRIBUNE's judgment
affirmed. We have no DISPOSE
tion to detract from Judge Ross
reputation as lawyer. His af-
Fiction is a somewhat common
one in the profession; that is to
say, too much law and too little
commonsense.
The Idaho District Irrigation
law is based substantially on the
Wright law, therefore, the de-
cision of the Supreme Court in
the California case, applies to
our law and settles its validity,
On the last day of August
1895, the organization of the
Caldwell Irrigation district was
completed by an election held on
that day, but in view of Judge
Ross decision, it was deemed
advisable to let matters rest until
the Supreme court had deter
mined on the validity Of the Cali
fornia law. Now that all doubt
is removed and the validity of the
law fully and finally established,
steps should be. taken to promptly
carry out the purposes of the
Caldwell district. The law pro-
vides that an election shall be
held in each district on the second
Tuesday in January 1897, at
which time board of directors,
an assessor, a collector and a
treasurer shall be elected. AT
the proper time legal notice of
the election viii be given and tits
hoped that in due time everything
viii be in order for actual bust
ness. In the meantime every
ciizen concerned in the develop
meat and prosperity of this sec
ton of the country, should talk
and advocate the establishment of
irrigation districts. We believe
that the correct and just solution
Of the water question is now in
the hends of the people and they
should proceed to selve it. 1t is
eminently fitting that the people
of Caldwell and surrounding
country should take the initial
step, or, rather, perfect it.
There is here plenty of energy
and enterprise. Let US unite in
making the Caldwell Irrigation
district a practical and blessed

would be quite profitless, to, at
this time, repeat the reasons
which have lead us to take this
view Il may however be said,
that our understanding is that it
was the intention Of the trainers
of the constitution TO make county
offices as nearly as possible self
supporting, in the sense that they
should not be charge on the tax
payers at large. To this end,
for every service rendered by the
sheriff, also county clerk a spe-
ciic fee is provided, and in most,
if not all cases, the fee is ample
compensation for the labor per-
formed. The constitution pro-
vides that the sheriff shall receive
a minimum compensation of
$1,000, a maximum Of $4,000,
exclusive of mileage. IF the
revenue of the office, derived
from fees, falls below the mini
mum, 81, 900, the county will
make up the shortage. If the
revenue exceeds the maximum,
81, 600, the officer must turn the
excess into the county treasury.
No one pretends to say that a
sheriff whose compensation
amounts to ST, 900 or less is en-
titled to the assistance of a dep
uty, but when a sheriff is doing a
good business and his yearly in
come runs up to $4,000 or $4,000,
it is contended the people ought
to hire men to help him earn the
salary. Itoccurs to us that this is
not fair proposition. From an
other point of view there seems
to be unfairness. Suppose the
county commissioners had author
lied Sheriff Campbell to employ
a deputy and fixed the salary at
$Ioo per month. That deputy
would be employed in the appre-
hension of criminals, the subpen-
ing of witnesses and the summon
ing of juries. For each service
the deputy would be entitled to a
generous fee and the taxpayers of
the county would have to pay it.
The fees earned by the deputy
would, of course, belong to the
sheriff, SO the people would be
paying twice for the same SER
vice; that is to say, they would
be paying the deputy $roo per
month for helping the sheriff, and
then paying the sheriff for every
thing the deputy did. We do
not believe that is square deal.
Nobody would conduct his pri-
waite business on such lines and it
is not clear that the public business
requires it. We believe the SUI
preme court will sustain our COM
missioners, and moreover, we
believe and sincerely hope that
the court will go a little bit out of
its way to express its emphatic
of an act which is de-
signed to legally and justly light
en- the burden of taxation.
