Do You Doubt

That hundreds of cases of consump-
ton reported to us as cured by DR..
Pierces Golden Medical Discovery were
genuine cases of that dread and fatal
disease? You need not take our word
for it. They have, in nearly every in
stance, been SO pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
represent. them and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery
but who have been forced to confess
that it surpasses, in curative power
over this fatal malady, all other med
icines with which they are acquainted.
Nasty cod liver oil had been tried in
nearly all these cases, and had either
utterly failed to benefit, or had only
seemed to benefit a little for d short
time.

of those cured of consumption, bron-
chitis, lingering coughs, sore lungs, y
asthma, chronic nasal catarrh and kim

cost to exceed $500,OOO a comparatively
small outlay Of money, when resulting
benefits are justly considered.
Ina this connection, the fact should be
bcrne in mind that the mine-owners at
silver city. Dewey and De Lamar are
now compelled to pay $3.50 per ton
for soft coal, and from SIS to $40 per
cord for wood, whereas the completion
of the railroad to its objective ter
rlinal point, Dewey, would result in a
reduction of coal to about IS a ton, and
wood in like proportion. II would result
ia an annual saving TO the De Lamar
Minnie. company OF not less than $780,
ooO. to the Trade Dollar and Black
lack companies Of a similar sum, and
10 the other business interests of a like
amount. besides effecting the opening
of many new mines and the doubling
of the population of Owyhee county.
These admitted results and benefits
are considerations that are not being
overlooked by the more enterprising
and alert citizens of the three towns
most directly interested in the COM
pletion of the B. n. & o. railroad. They
realize that the country within a radius
of about II miles from Silver City has
been dcnuded Of timber, and that if
the mines are to run, q railroad Will be
a, forced necessity within the near flu
ture. and are, therefore, preparing to
assist, in a substantial way, Colonel
Dewey in his efforts to complete the
rcad-an enterprise for which he has
put up every dollar so far expended.

the Payette river; thence across Boise
county to Cape Horn pass where it
strikes the Salmon river, which it will
follow through Custer and Lemhi
counties, to y miles north of Salmon
City, at which point it leaves Salmon
river, going in a northerly direction,
passing over the Bitter Root noun
tains, through Big Hole pass, which
is on the boundary line between Idaho
and Montana. From there the route is
down Trail creek and a portion of Wis
dom river, to a distance of about IS
miles from Butte.
The route is perfectly feasible from
Nampa to Butte, not a foot of tunneling
| being required, and no grade to exceed
3 per cent. The immensely of wealth.

plated road would open UP can hardly
be imagined-the 800 miles square of

ison counties in Montana. 1t will be
readily seen that the Idaho Northern
railway is a splendid business propo-
sition, and such as viii command the

Senator Shoup of Idaho, whose home
is at Salmon City. it is understood will

eastern influence. as will also Senators

to these influences the favorable con-
sideration of John d. Rockefeller, the
richest man in America, who is inter
/ esting himself in many ~other western
enterprises, and the outlook for the
early completion OF the Idaho Northern
railroad is more than promising.
! 1t is Colonel Dewey's plan to con-
meet the Idaho Northern with the B.

J to Winnemucea, New, where it will
connect with the Central Pacific, giving
a continuous line from San Francisco
/ to Butte, and shortening the rail dis
lance 200 miles between those two
cities. The project comes near ap-
preaching a business necessity, and
with Colonel Dewey's genius behind
it, viii ultimately prove a success.

scribes the physical features of the
line:
THE line. as constructed from
Nampa, IS almost due south to the
river crossing. From this point the
line turns westerly down the river,
after crossing. for a distance of one and
a half miles. where it turns again to
the south, following the valley of Rab-
lit creek for about 10 miles, where we
turn to the west and enter the foothills
of the Silver City range of mountains
for eight miles, to the summit of the
divide between Rabbit and Reynolds
creeks. From this point we turn again
to the south. following the west slope
of the divide between Rabbit and Rey-
nolds creeks, TO the main summit of the
silver City range. To this point. about
two and a half miles northerly from
the town OF Dewey, the maximum
grade, from a point y miles south OF

IDAHO RAIL WAY PROJECTS
New North and South Line Across the Entire State

The mining world has its eye fixed
on the completion of the Boise, Nampa

has more or less interest in the recently
Incorporated Idaho Northern Railway
company, which has a line projected
from Nampa. Ida, to Butte, Mont, and
which, when completed as now project

timber belts and misunderstanding re-
gions to be found in the United States.
Of the former, your correspondent (who
has personally examined both enter
prises), viii speak first.
The b n. and o. is the partial ma
terialization OF one of Colonel w. H.
Dewey's many splendid business VEN
lures, and commends itself particularly
to all those vitality interested in the
upbuilding of Owyhee county, as well
as to the general public. This road was

serves the purpose of irrigation, but

SOUTHEASTERN IDAHO.
a Rich and Pepulous Section Just
Over the Utah Line.

Southeastern Idaho has witnessed a.
season Of wonderful growth during the
year 1897, ard no part of it more so
than the Bear Lake valley, which, dur
ing the year about to close, has given
US a $4,000 academy building, in course
of erection; the first starch factory in
Idaho; the Humming Bird mine, which
bids fair to excel the famous Anaconda,
because of its 60 per cent copper ore,
and many other evidences of wealth
and development.
/ Bear Lake county is the smallest in
Idaho vet one of the richest, and one
of the very few counties comparatively
free from public Indebtedness. The nat
ural wealth of the little domain is
about as happily diversified as it's res
| idents could wish. 1t has mountains en-
either side rich in minerals, timber and
| building stone, which, during the year
! 1897, have been developed to a greater
extent than during all the years of its
settlement.
The county was settled by Mormons
in the year 1868, and for a number of
years afterwards their residence contln-
ued under circumstances of the most
forbidding and discouraging nature. The
county is perhaps the highest altitude
| that IS cultivated successfully In the
world, the altitude being about 5000
feet, and the early settlers, being un-
accustomed to the frosts and the storms
of these high attitudes and the different
methods of raising crops by irrigation,
were for several years compelled to
haul their flour and other necessaries
over the rugged mountains from Cache
valley, Utah, a distance of 70 miles, the
roads being mere trails, rocky, siding,
and without bridges over the wild,
swift mountain streams. To settle such
county, none but the strongest and
most determined could accomplish; so
bleak and sterile was the country that
the shade and fruit trees first planted
out refused to grow. All this is changed
by the labor and perseverance Of this
people, and their learning how to Guilt
vate by irrigation. and to secure those
seeds, trees and shrubs which are ac-

quent, so as to prevent any Individual
teaching school who could not come up
to the required standard. The two
weeks institute held this summer at
Fish Haven, on the shores of Bear
Lake, at which Miss Galloway, prin-
cipal of the Idaho state normal at Lew
iston, presided, resulted in much good
for the teachers of the county.
