NEED TERRITORy

The SIGNAL" of Weiser, Idaho,
comes to lis with some excellent sue-
gestions for opportunities to increase
trade, among which are the sugges-
tions of building railroad that will
connect that rich territory with San
francisco and open up new country
that will prove very valuable to the
merchants and manufacturers of this
city in the course of a very few years
The ''Signal," in speaking of the
construction of this road says:
1.-The construction of the road means
the opening of the immence territory en-
braced in the boundaries OF Wash
ington, Idaho and Boise counties, and
the eventual opening of this now sealed
domain to the commerce of the world.
More than this, and requiring no stretch
of imma. ination. is the northern connec-
ton with the great transcontnental lines
the Northern Pacific and Great Northern
and the extension south and west TO Sac
ramento, which latter can be made from
Nelser with not mountain range in
tervening and distance of less than
four hundred aud forty miles. This
means to say that the Weiser man can,
with the road constructed. reach Sacra-
mento AS soon AS he can Portland or Salt
Lake and in a trade and transportation
point of view what does this mean? We
are bold to say it means revolution in
the commerce of this Coast and one thar
interests California as much as il does
Idaho. Again. let us consider the mat
ter of distance. The distance from Wel-
ser to its nearest northern railway con
nection is two hundred miles, SAY to
Genesse. Idaho, on the Northern Pacific
Ry., and this two hundred miles is
through the greatest agricultural. graz
ing, mineral and timber district of the
northwest. and the extension south from
Weiser would pass through the greatest
and most permanent stock country oil
Eastern Oregon and the northeast Cal: :
fornia without railroad facilities. giving
the line six hundred and forty miles, two
hundred Of which would develop and
connect North and South Idaho From

THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 10, 1897

Since the failure of the monetary
commission, nearly all Of the tank

for Mckinley have become convinced
that 'sthere is no hope left and we
must go to the gold standard. Many

themselves to be goodbye metallists.

The Gold Bug press have been de-
voting considerable space in their
editorial columns, in trying to show
that the farmers of Nebraska are in
a prosperous condition and that, by
reason of the returning prosperity
brought about by Mr.. Mckinley

cages lifted has been stretched into
the millions, until one would mag

out now that many mortgages have
been lifted, but by whom? The
people! No slrl But by the Loan

the howl Of miles and miles of gold
bug argument, the truth of which
has evidently never dawned upon
them. The fact is, that the depress-
ION in the price of agricultural pro
ducts has been such that the Ameri-

EXCHANGE en- INDIA SUSPENDED,
Action Taken BY the Bank of Eng
land on Account of the Preva-

LONDON, ENG, Sept. 1.-The following
notice was posted at the Bank of England
to-day:
THE Secretary of State for India, in
council, gives notice that the sale of bills
of exchange on Calcutta Bombay and
Madras shall be suspended for period
of not less than ter weeks"
The Government has very little money
in India to draw on, owing to the famine
and the plague having rendered the COL
lection of taxes slow. The present time
may be opportune to aacustom the In
dams to the use of gold instead of silver,
though it would not have been attem pied
had not the scarcity of money arisen.
The Daily Telegraph. anticipating the
action of the Indian Council, said too day !:
The Council may refuse to dIaw alto
gether, thus sending exchange up to the
gold point and making the establishmen t
of the gold standard in India possible,
The action of the Indian Council at
tracted but slight notice in the afternoon

Consta BILE Ben Dennis Warns
Miners With Gold to Be on
the Lookout.
So Alarmed Are the People That
None VIII Swear Out a War
rant for the Outlaw.

FRESNO, CAL.i Sept. 1.-Constable Ben
Dennis is down from the mountains, and
he stated to The. CALL correspondent to-
day that outlaw Cliff Regain and his,
gang had been seen at various places by a
mum Der OF persons during the pas two
weeks. The officer is daily expecting the
desperadoes to commit some depreciation,
and he strongly advises miners who have
made clean-ups to use the greatest eau
ton in bringing their wealth down to the
valley. 1t would not be surprising TO hear
of the gang holding up stage any day.
The factis that the Consta BILE shares in
the uneasiness felt by the residents of the
mountains and The owners of the stage
lines because OF the presence of the out
laws. Dennis is making diiigent inquiries
to keep track of the whereabouts of the
gang, but he is having difficult time. be-
cause the criminals are roaming the hills
and appear at places many: miles apart.
The officer is convinced, however, that
they have a camp from which they make
their accommodating expeditions. Regain
was raised IN the foothills OF this county,
and he knows the mountains thoroughly
Constable Dennis cannot understand
why the outlaws have shown themselves
In this county II Iney nave any lnlenlfon
of committing crime on this side of the
San Joaquin River, unless it should be
the reckless daring of the men. He thinks
it possible that they have some scheme on
foot over in MADEIRA County and have
come across the river to distract attention
IN that quarter, with the purpose of max
ing a sudden ride over there and running
off bunch of cattle or committing some
other depreciation.
AS far can be learned Regain has two
half-breed Indians and white man in his
gang. Constable Dennis believes the
white man is Jake Moss, a notorious cat
tle-thief who has operated in the mount
aims of MADEIRA, Fresno and Tulare coun-
ties for a number of years. The whole
gang called at house on Pine Ridge one
morning a bout a week ago and was given
breakfast there. -:
1t appears at tie present time there is
n warrant out for Regan's arrest. While
he has stolen many bands of cattle and
horses in the mountains, the people are
so afraid of HIM and his gang that they
dare not swear to com plaintsa against them.
The outlaws have terrorized the people
and carry on their depredations without
fear of molsstatioE. Regain has brother
named jim, who is conducting saloon at
Fresno Flats, in MADEIRA County.
