Must Sell Their Pigeons.

yesterday morning two youths were
oelore Mayor Baird. charged with
keeping pigeons within the city limits.
lney acknowledged having some, but
said that they kept them in nice pens
ana that they were not allowed to nv
around. His Honor read the ordinance
concerning these birds to them, which
says That no person shall keep or har-
Dor pigeons within the city limits under
n penalty Of 81 day for each day that
they remain In the city. He imposed the
line on the boys and told them that
they would have to take them out or the
city right away. and If they failed to do
so ne would, If they were reported. en-
force the ordinance. There are quite a
number OF persons In the city who have
choice lot Of pigeons, including some
carriers. and there is no doubt they
think If they keep them confined they
have the right to own them, but it is
not the fact. The Mayor Instructed the
police to report all persons who own
pigeons so they may be dealt with ac-
cording to the law This means the
determination Of the bird in the city.

LDAHOAN TALKS IDAHO.

"The state of Idaho will produce
more gold during the year 1897 than
ever before in her history" said Mr..
Joseph Perrault, of Boise City, who is
registered at the Normandie. "The re.
Vival of gold mining is due to two
cause.-the increasing value of tie
product and the improvement in ma
chinery and mining methods generally.
Placer digging, which would not yield
enough under the old systems of min.
ing to make it profitable to work them
can, under modern methods, be made
to pay handsomely. This can be ap.
preciated when it is understood that
nowadays we can handle cubic yard
of auriferous earth for six cents where
1t formerly could not be done under %
cents, But that is only half the story.
Improved devices now collect the fine
particles of the precious metal which
used TO escape when the old and print
tive means of washing ore were EN-.
plOyed.
what is true of the placer diggings
holds true in regard to lode mining as
well. The mountains around the Boise
valley are all gold bearing. and the
sandy loan of the river valleys Yields
the precious metal in more or less pay
ing quantities.
II have just returned from New
York City, where went to meet some
gentlemen who have formed a syndi-
cate to work the rich copper mines of
the northern part of the state, in the
Seven Devils Mountain district. These
mines, until lately, have been owned by
Montana parties, who owned copper
mines in that state, which are moro
easily accessible under present condi-
tions than the Idaho mines. They coz
sequently neglected their Idaho prop.
critics, but tho New York syndicate has
determined to build a railroad about
hundred miles long, which win connect
the Oregon Short Line with the mines
and make them at once valuable pro-
ducers when that is accomplished.
sour mines, however, constitute only
small part of our resources. Fruit
growing is becoming great industry
with us, and we are now shipping fruit
to Montana and the Dakotas and are
getting the preference in the Chicago
market, too, Idaho peaches and prunes
have made a reputation which will
bring millions of dollars annually to
our state from less-fayOred sections."-

MONETARY COMMISSION.

President Mckinley has appointed a
Monetary Commission consisting of
Senator Wolcott. ex Vice President
Stevenson and General Paine. Each of
these is bimetalist, hence the work of
trying to secure an international agree
ment will be in the hands Of avowed
friends of a double standard. 1t is
gratifying to note the promptness with
which the President is carrying out
platform pledges, disposition in
marked contrast with his Democratic
predecessor Whether or not an inter-
national agreement can be secured is
of course proplematioal, but it cannot
be justly said that any effort is lacking.
One of the causes of failure in the
Brussels conference was the fact that
the United States delegates were them.
selves divided as to the ACCESSIBILITY of
the measure they were appointed to
urge. President Mckinley has wisely
determined not to again incur the same
danger Every man upon the Monetary
Commission is q firm advocate of BIZ
metalism, and Senator Wolcott and
Mr., Stevenson are known to incline
even to independent action by this
country. In the last campaign Mr..
Stevenson supported Mr.. Bryan Loyalty
and stood squarely upon the currency
plank of the Chicago platform. Gen.
eral Paine, of Massachusetts,, attended
Senator Walcott on his recent European
trip. 1t will be a mighty victory for
Republicanism and the glory of the
Mckinley administration if the com.
mission should be successful.

cAss1A COUNTY MURDER CASE.

The following complete and concise
history of the notorious Cassia county
murder case, now on trial at Albion, is
taken from the Idaho World.
"The trial Of Fred Gleason and Jack
Davis, the latter known as Diamond
field Jack, is cow in progress in Al
bion, Cassia county. They are charged
with the murder of John c. Wilson
and Daniel q. Cummings, the former a
sheep herdeF and the latter a sheep
owner. They were murdered on Feb.
6, 1896, at their camp. 1t is supposed
that Wilson was killed first. The body
was rolled in blankets and placed in a
wagon. Cummings was shot in the
abdomen, and is supposed to have lived
from "A to 80 hours. He tried to write
an account of the murders, but his
hand became so unsteady that what
was written could not be dseiphered,
except the first two or three lines,
which were-"If l die, bury me. Take
care Of''-here he mentioned the names
of two sisters. A string of cartridges
were discovered leading from the
wagon. On Nov. 6, 1885, ''Diamondfield
Jack" shot sheepherder named VIM.
A. TOllman through the body, and
claimed it was in selfdefense. Tollman
said that when shot he was riding with
his gun across his saddle. He recovered.
Officers became convinced that Davis
had hand in the murder of Wilson
and Cummings. He was finally located
in the Arizona penitentiary. He held
up two policemen and took their pis-
tolls, for which he was sentenced to IA
months under the name Of Frank
WoOdson. Gleason was located about
the same time at Deer Lodge, Montana.
He was living there under the name of
VIM. Treet. Circumstantial evidence
against them is very strong. At The
Wells, Nevana, they got drunk and
boosted of killing two sheepherders in
this State. There are 80 or 40 witnesses
on each side, gathered from far and
near.
