THE Boise Sentinel asks the court
whether the same rule applies to joint
resolutions in the Legislature as it
applied to the bills. II so the ladies
cannot vote in Idaho. From read
ing Section II of Article Ill of the
constitution the same rule governs
the passage of bills and joint resolu-
tons. The Sentinel says, "'Tis
passing strange this question when
before the supreme court did not re-
quire at their hands the same treat
ment accorded the fee bill.

BOBBING FOR SUCKERS.
The Huntington Herald of the I'd

inst contained the following:
j. s. Locke has secured from the Seven
Devils Copper Company the contract for
hauling 60 tons of ore per day from the
Peacock mine to the smelter. beginning on
the 10Th inst. Instructions hare been
sent out to hare the ,cork on the papers
Of the copper company completed as
soon as possible. when the transportation
company will begin boat building. 1t is
expected work VIII commence in short
time now and the boats rapidly pushed to
completion.
just SO; and it is also expected
that when the sky falls we will catch
larks.
But the persistent assertions Of a
systematic fraud must not be allowed
to pass uncontradicted. These seem
ing trivial reports are intended to
have their influence and carry the idea
that, locally, the scheme has some
status, based on possibility of sue
cess. when, as a matter of fact, outside
OF the ones who expect to make n
dollar, more or less, in some manner
out of the swindle, the whole scheme
of the Kleinschmidt pack trail is
known and cassed as speculative
fake, without the semblance of utility,
and is generally considered too alb
surd to even call for serious opposi-
ton. The idea that a consideration
of $40, 200 was ever mentioned in a
deed for the property, causes a smile
of incredulity to pass over the faces
of those familiar with the dilapidated
fraud that is offered to an unsuspect-
ing eastern clientage as Il property.
The unsopisticated young people who
are devoting their time and attention
to the matter would make better
showing if their financial affairs were
not quite so embarrassed. A dollar
now and then will cover business
deficiency, but any amount of the
latter is useless in concealing an equal
amount of impecuniosity; and up to
the present writing the stock in trade,
that is the visible resources of the
Idaho R, R. Company, consists of a
dilapidated mountain grade, mort
gagged as far as possible to the Met
ropolitan Loan & Trust Co. of New
York for one hundred and seventy
thousand dollars. The selfishness of
the scheme can be realized by the out
side world when we remark that the
promoters have never offered dol
lars worth of stock or bonds to our
local investors, and if the offer was
made it would be considered as alb
surd as though the offer was to dis
pose of section of the moon. The
idea OF Snake river and the Klein
schmidt road If any investor should
in the future seek legal redress his
case would be thrown out of court,
for the reason that he had not used
common intelligence in the manage
ment of his affairs and was not enti-
tied to legal redress, and may be the
present promoters may take this view
of the case as a guarantee from inn
munity in possible coming difficulties.
