THE OUTLOOK.

1t is now certainty that more activ-
ity will be shown in mine development,
all oyer the state and in fact all oyer
the entire West than has been known
for many years. All the papers pub
lished in mining camps speak most en-.
couraglngly of the outlook and mine
investors, miners, and prospectors all
look foi an improvement, in the situa-
tion. In this state more new discover
les were reported before the winter
SHOWS covered the ground than ever be-
fore. There will certainly be a great
revival in the Industry this year. The
Caster county camps, Lemhi, Idaho,
Washington and Owyhee counties will
find more investors in them this year
than for many years. Just at present
there is more talk about the Seven
Devils, Warren and Florence than of
other camps. With the gloomy out
look for manufacturers and general
business, on account of the condition
of finances, gold mining is about the
only business now Offering attraction
to men with money to invest. 1t is the
only business which an ubiquitous Fl.
nancial home system has really helped
and the shrewdest business men realize
this fact. All the world is now looking
toward gold mining, Every prospector
ought to DO bestirring himself. Idaho
has thousands of square miles of un-
territory and quite as much
more half prospected. Let everybody
assume hopeful mood, get a move on
them this spring and not only look for
better times but help to make them.

with the spirit of adventure, came west
to seek. his fortune. This was thirty
years ago. Spencer drifted about for
several years, and about twenty years
ago he cast his lot in Owyhee county
where he has since been engaged in
stock raising and other pursuits.
Spencer did not forget the girl he had
left in Moline, and after several years

was proposed by him. The offer was
accepted by the young lady, but when
she learned that he wanted her to make
the journey "way out here Pail a'one to
marry him, she objected. All efforts on
the part of Spencer to induce her to
change her mind, failed and the en-
0agement was declared off. Shortly
thereafter, Miss MCDANIEL, the Mrs
spencer of today, accepted the hand of
Mr.. Hartford of Moline. To them
marriage soon proved to be failure,
and by the aid of the court tt 4y had

Outdone by the young lady whom he
had loved and lost, Spencer sought and
won the heart and hand of another.
Time soon proved to them that they
could not harmOniously sail down life's
river in the same barque, so the court
was called upon to help another un-
happy couple out of their trouble.
Time rolled on and Spencer, through
relatives at Moline, learned that his
first love had been freed from her mat
rimonial bonds. The fire of love which
once burned so fervently for her in his
heart, was rekindled and with the hope
that he might be able to revive the loYe
she once entertained for him, he wrote
her letter. As good fortune would
have it, his letter had the desired effect,
and correspondence was at once re-
sumed between them. After a few
months of renewed courtship, Mrs.
Hartford again accepted proposal of
marriage from Mr.. Spencer. and an
nounced her willingness to meet him in
Mountainhome. Accordingly arrange
ments were soon completed. Mr.. Spen
er came over from Castle Creek last Sat
urday to await the coming of his in
tended bride who arrived Wednesday
morning, and at nine o'clock that eye
ming these old lovers who had not seen
elch other for thirty years, were united
in marriage. They will leave next
Monday for their future home on
Castle Creek.

HORIZON CHURCH GOING TO
THE DEVILS.

John Wheeler was in town this week
on his way to the Seven Devils. Mr..
Wheeler informs us that the Sumpter
Valley railroad is running a survey
from Baker city to Snake river, with a
view to extending their line into the
Devils. If this company takes hold of
a railroad project to the Seven Devils,
it is pretty nearly an assured fact that
it will be put through. The Sumpter
Valley railroad is owned and controlled
by the Mormon church, which is an as
surance that it will not suffer from a
lack of funds. The time is ripe for a
railroad to this camp, and one will
surely be built this summer.-Salubria

CHANGES AT WASHINGTON.

1t is highly interesting to note the
fact that the Republican administra-
ton superseded the Democratic by the
change of only ten men-namely, the
President, the Presidents Secretary and
the eight Cabinet officers. Further
more, it was perfectly evident to all OBJ
servers that the whole machinery of
administration could have been carried
on for an indefinite time without any
further appointments, except as vaean-
cies were created by death or by volun-
tary withdrawal from the public serv-
ice. 1t is proper enough that a con-
siderable number of places should
change with the incoming of new ad-
ministration; but, under circumstances
like those existing this year, the public
service requires no haste in appointing
new men to Office. Any one intimate
with the tone of party discussion
during the past twenty four years must
recognize certain great advances that
have come about in our public life.
For example, in no quarter has there
been any serious doubt thrown upon
the honesty and general efficiency of
public administration during recent
years. There has been no talk of
turning the rascals out" Mr.. Nc
Kinley's cabinet will not have to search
the books for evidence that Democratic
administration under Mr.. Cleaveland
was not honest and decent. 1t is an
immense relief to have lived through
that whole period, and to feel that in
the United States, as in England, while
there may be great and vital difference
of opinion about topics of legislation
and matters of large policy, there is no
question seriously raised about the
common honesty and good faith of
either great party in carrying on the
ordinary business of the country.
There was some attempt to make
scandal about the placing of loans by
Mr.. Cleaveland and his secretary of
the Treasury; but the great public |
never believed for moment that the |
CleaYeland administration was pur-
posely sacrificing public to private |
ends. We had an honest government |
under President Harrison, and we had
an honest government under Mr.. CIeaye.
land. Everybody of normal intelligence
believes that we shall have an honest
government under Mr.. Mckinley. In
fact, we have always had honest and
upright men in the presidential chair,
but there have been times when party
feeling and prejudice have gone to such
I'ngth that public confidence has been
ably shaken.-From The Progress of

FOURTH OF July.

If we have got things figured out
right this is the year in which the
Fourth of July happens in Caldwell
and it is mona too soon to begin pre-
pairing for it. a town in which the
Fourth of July occurs only once in
three years can afford to make things
hum when it does occur. We suspect
that Nampa and Payette will he so
busy all this summer building railroads
and selling town lots and things that
they really won't have any time to be
patriotic and shoot fire crackers for the
glory of their country. So Caldwell
would better take the Fourth of July
in hand and make nice job Of it. We
can provide real good entertainment
for our busy neighbors and improve
their acquaintance as we'll as their I'M
Outstanding. We can get them all
here and make them forget for a day
their sordid pursuits in listing to our
patriotic speeches and songs. Then
there are Middleton, Emmett, Falks
Store, Parma, Dixie and all the country
round about and plenty of nice people
who might be induced to come in and
spend a day with us, helping to COM
memorate the birth Of our Republic.
Come fellow citizens, call a meeting,
appoint committees and orators and
readers and let us all join hands in
making Caldwell's Fourth a happy aud
appropriate event There is no time to
lose. Large bodies move slowly and a
good thing was never done in hurry.

GEORGE Q. PARKINsoN.


Senator Shoup would no doubt be
surprised if he should find that in
recommending George G. Parkinson
for Internal Revenue Collector he has
touched popular chord which will
swell into anthems of universal JOY
So would be everybody else! George
O., it is acknowledged by all irrespective
of party, sect or color, occupies proud
eminence in the domain of pusillani-
nous penury, and his accomplishments
in the finer arts of hypocricy give
flavor and flush to his distinguishing
virtue. Georges services to the Repub-
lican party are no more measured by
overt acts than are his contributions to
charity or his patriotism to country.
Indeed this pious gentleman would be
shocked beyond recovery at the mere
thought of bestirring himself in any
interest save his own. A story illus
trative of Georges peculiar style of
philanthropy and eminently suggestive
of the whole man, is quietly enjoyed
among his friends and brethren in
Preston, his home town. tleorge in the
past.was persistent pleader before the
state Board of Pardons, and in hu-
manity's name succeeded in liberating
various and sundry youths who had
committed offenses. Georges solemn
face and oily piety was potent with the
board, After securing the release of
young culprit, George arranged to
convey him home, and enroute occupied
himself in administering moral instruc.
tIons to the delinquent. All of which
was work Of great price In Georges
esteem, SO he satisfied his conscience
by striking the parents of the delinquent
for a good round sum for his services.
Thus George drove a thriving business
and turned many an honest penny. No |
doubt the story is false, but it is sug-
gestive. His labors for his party and |
country, so far as anybody has ever
heard, hare been all conducted on that
plan. An unfortunate thing in Georges
life Is that those who know him least
admire him most.

A VISIT to Assessor Huff's Office last
week disclosed the fact that during
Mr.. Huif's incumbency there is every
promise that the office will be conduct
ed in a straightforward and systematic
way. Deputy w. S. Bailey, who will
have complete charge of the Office
work, has introduced a thorough end
simple system of book keeping which
gives a clear presentation of the bust
hess of the office from month to month,
and provides effective checks against
errors. Mr.. Huff proposes to comply
strictly with the law in every respect,
and be in a position to turn the Office
over to his successor with honor and
credit to himself. From present indi-
cations of his business and impartial
methods, THE TRIBUNE takes pleasure
in making this favorable comment.
After careful investigation of Deputy
Bailey systematic methods of book
ing and checking, it is possible to pre-
dict with much assurance that the ex-
porting of the Assessors Office at the
expiration Of Mr.. Huff 8 term will be a
perfunctory affair.

THREE GENTS a MILE.

Elsewhere will be found the an
noul mel Of the Oregon Short Line
offering 1000 mile tickets for $50. This
is cent rate and ought to prove a
most satisfactory arrangement. We
believe that this is but a commencement
nP the many benefits the people OF this
State will deriye from the change hich
makes the Oregon Short Line an indie
pendent system. This concession on
passenger traffic will be followed, we
make no doubt, by similar freight re-
auctions and advantages in other di
rections. The management has given
every evidence of disposition TO treat
its patrons fairly and the patrons
should respond by a spirit of kindness
and good viii towards the railroad. It
is most essential that the people of
Idaho should be on cordial terms with
the officials Of the Oregon Short Line.
Their interests are mutual to a great
extent. The railroad can not fully
prosper unless the State be settled aud
developed and the State can not grow
rapidly without the CO operation of
the railroad.
