A WILLOW CREEK DEAL.
The:elack Crook and Imp-Mining Men Enthusi
sstic Over the Outcome,

The:Black Crook and Imp-Mining Men Enthusi-
astic Over the Outcome,
Wednesday Messrs. Binford and
Johnson were down from Willow Creek
and it is understood they were negotia-
ting for the Black Crook and Imp
mines. These properties belong to
Messrs Hardy and Thorpe of this town
and some Boise County parties. The
deal was not cOnsummated but pro-
gress sufficient was made to warrant
the belief that it soon will be. Mr..
Binford is prominent mining man
from Denver, Colorado. He speaks
well of the Willow Creek country and
believes that great camp will eventu-
ally grow up there. Mr.. johnson is
one of the pioneers of the district and
is interested in some of the best prop
critics. He is enthusiastic over the out
look and predicts that the Willow
Creek will develop into one of the rich
est mining sections in the country.
He says that from 90 to 30 tons of ore
is being shipped daily to the concen-
traitor and Boise, and a vast amount
of development work is going on. The
great need, however, is men of capital
and business ability.

Editor TRIBUNE: notice in your
paper, June 9Th, our worthy Sheriff at.
tempts to explain some of his work.
Poor fellow! What time he will sure.
ly have showing the dear people how
he does two inch business with half
inch tools. Now there is the Wilson
case which was mentioned in your
paper of May 99th-all true every word
of it. Attorney Reed claims he took
the note as collection which he ad-
United to me was not the case in
presence of witnesses. He never tend
cred me $l2 or any sum but told me
when l was questioning him in regard
to certain matters in the case that he
would go over to Mr.. Thorp's saloon
and get $40 dollars of him which re-
fused to accept. Besides 1 shall have
to question his style of figuring. AS to
Mr.. Taylor, | looked upon his manner
of sale and attribute most of it to his
ignorance. For instance, there is the
case of A. Rossi VS.. Cottingham &
Nettleton where he was instructed by
plaintiffs attorney to sell under execu-
ton and in case the attorney could not
be present to secure some one to bid
the property in for one thousand dol
lars. In this case as in mine, he evil
IDENTIFY lost sight of everything except
his fees and knocked down the two
pieces of land for $25 each. Then his
construction of law: Sec. 4484, does
not give the judgment debtor power to
direct the manner in which chattles
shall be sold. 1t merely allows him the
privilege of suggesting or directing
the order of sale. When there is a col
lection of chattles he may direct the
sheriff which to sell first but, under no
law on our statute books, is the iudg-
ment debtor clothed with the power to
make sheriff sell lot of chattles in
a lump. Oh! we shall have lots of
new laws now, dictated by tin horn at
torneys and administered by Jim Crow
sheritfs. When Mr.. Taylor and look
ed over his inventory of the Driscoll
property he told me that he thought by
properly CHASING and selling in small
lots the property would probably bring
three or four hundred dollars. In his
cost bill he charges six dollars for sort
ing and parcelling out the property
and then sold it in lump. lie says he
did not attend the sale himself. AS near
as l can learn one Warden, who recently
pied guilty to the larceny of horse,
represented the sheriff at the sale and
made out the cost bill. Nice man to be
employed by our Sheriff who was elect.
ed on what was called a platform of re-
trenchment and reform. 1t makes me
wonder where we are at now. | am
willing to make affidavit to everything
in this communication which l give as
facts. The circumstance attending
the Rossi sale was told to me and be-
lieVe it to be true and l defy Sheriff
Taylor to substantiate his statements
in his explanation of June 9Th. AS to
Attorney Reed he virtually acknowl-
edged to me that he erred in his in
struction to the Sheriff. Will give
more if necessary.

THE special master who was COM
missiOned to take evidence in the stock
yards case at Kansas City is develop
ing few facts which it would seem
should not profit anything to the COM
pany. Between the years 1884 and
1883 the company issued ST, 100000 in
stocks. The facts as usual IN such
cases, seem to be that the profits of
the company in this period were so
large that it would make the rate of
interest look too large to the public if
computed on the cash valuation or the
original capitalization, so enough stock
was issued to make the dividends look
smaller. Since 1889 the company is
sued stock amounting to 81, 437 900 on
the same principles, These are the
usual tactics, and the question now
arises, and it is one of the greatest to
be settled by the present or coming de-
cades, whether the corporations
are to disregard the public well
fare entirely and continue
10 tax the traffic for what it will
bear or whether they are to be limited
70 reasonable recompense on the ae-
,ual valuation.

THE people of Kansas, excepting a
few offended republicans, are proud of
the record being made by the New In.
surance commissioner. About a
week or ten days ago he sent out cir
cular letters to all the sixty non-resi-
dent companies ASKING whether they
were using Clarkson'S rate book. Most
of them answered frankly that they
w're, and told what they paid. A few
denied, and others equivocated. Now
he is sending out letters telling them
that if they do not abandon the rate
book he will revoke their licenses to
do business in the State. He thinks
they are violating the new antitrust
law, and proposes to break up this rate
making or acceptance of rates made by
Clarksou by which competition is de-
stroyed. During the legislature q bill
was found to cover this particular
point, but failed But it appears that
when we have a man with the back
bone and disposition to break up such
combines, they can be reached under
other laws that were passed.

THE DOorORs aEEIT.

THE Medical World published at Phil
adelphia or May, contains an article
on the money problem in its talk to
doctors IN which it comes very near
the truth. The editor quotes an Indi-
ana doctor as follows: "When l was
boy, physicians could cOllect ninety
per cent of their bills. That was
when we had sixteen to one, and a
per capita circulation o! over fifty
dollars to every person living in the
United States. Now. under u gold
standard, physician does well that
collects forty per cent Of his accounts,
and things are growing worse.'
Further on the article speaks of
government ownership of railroads,
aud says: In behalf of government
ownership of RAILROADS are countless
facts and arguments Of the most over
whelming description, 1t would stop
inequality in rates; stop discrimination
against localities and against indiYid-
uals, corporations and firms, and
greatly restrict the powers of trusts in
consequence; all profits would go to
the government, or the government
might transport in behalf Of the pub
lie at cost, and railway extOrtions
would cease; thus trade would be
greatly stimulated, and passenger
traffic would be greatly increased and
suburban properties be built up, and
the pressure now upon narrow and
contracted cities be reduced and the
whole people be made better off
through the easier means Of intercom-
municatiDn."

among Philadelphia doctors, you may
prepare to hear something 'drap"

SENATOR HARRIS has again got in
position to do some good work, by get

roads. When he was In the House as
congressman at large, he made rec

foreclosure of the mortgages and oper.
atiOns of the roads by the government.

again. Besides this he iS on several
other important committees, among

ITHAs been very truly said that the
value of the work of any legislative
body TO the people is well predicted by
the number of the laws which are con
tested in the courts. When a law is
taken to court it is evidence that it
hurts some private interest and that
private interest is private monopoly.
Two of the most important laws of the
last session are now under injunction
from the courts. The text book law
and the stock yards bill. These bills,
all admit were trenehing on mOnopOlies
and when republicans sneer about cor
ruption of the legislature it should be
remembered tnat these bills were passed
in spite of the Doodle and when Doodle
is offered against any bill it is sufficient
proof it is hurting some ones private
interests. What is favorable to the
private interests is against the public
interest.

A KANSAS CITY district judge has
decided that the anti.dockage law
PASSED by the late legislature is un-
constitutional. OF course this does
not necessarily signify that the SUI
preme court will do the same, and in
deed few people care, Probably every
legislature has its need of fool meas
ures. This is the eminent one Of the
last. No power can make a buyer pay
full price for an inferior hog. If he
can't get it at what is reasonable, he
will say take him out, l don't want
him." The dockage practice may have
been abused but this wouldn't cure
it. The only good effect the bill might
have would be to stop the shipment
ana sale of inferior and unwholesome
meat.

THE Farmers Voice calls attention
to phase which the tariff question has
assumed that IS not only pEzzling bub
dividing the tariff thinkers. The old
Mckinley bill was framed at time
when there was an excess of revenues
and was headed ian act TO reduce
revenues, etc." OF course it was
framed on the protective" principle,
Now that the protective" and "rev.
enue" ideas are conflicting ones is be-
coming painfully apparent toa great
many republican congressman. When
there was surplus of revenues a bill
could very conveniently be framed
with duties so high as to lessen imports
on prospective lines. But DOW when
Mckinley claims the only pressing need
OF the government is revenue it is a
difficult matter to adjust tariff 80 that
1t will at once protect" and raise more
revenue. To raise more revenue there
must be more impOrtatiOns and when
there are more lmportaticns there is no
protection" Tariff experts have es-
timated that during the first eighteen
months under the Dingley tariff Dill, if
it should 90 into effect, there would be
a deficit of from s6O,OOO,OOO to $40, OOO,-
600. So the senate has made about a
thousand alterations, looking toward
more revenue by adding duties on teas
and spices and an increase in tax on
beer. This doesn't agree with Mr..
AcKinley's bountiful ideas of protec-
ton and it is one of the things he com.
batted in 1890. These duties on tea
are tax upon commodity the whole of
which must be imported, and the beer
tax is direct one. This is too much
revenue and not enough protection for
Mr.. Mckinley But if his idea is fol.
lowed out it appears that the copntr,
