BOISE AFTER THE MAIN LINE.

The Boise Statesman believes that
the people of that place are going to
take hold and bring the main line of
the Oregon Short Line railroad
through Boise. And the Statesman
further believes that it is possible to do
it. Our Boise contemporary proceeds
in this manner:
OF course there may be delay, made
necessary by conditions. The Short
Line is passing through a transforma-
ton period, and no one knows in just
what form it will emerge from it. The
necessary effect of the prevailing I'M
certainty is to tie the hands of the Off
Gals in a measure, so far as plans for
the future are concerned.
But, nevertheless, the people are go
ing to prepare themselves to move
promptly and vigorously when the time
shall be ripe. They know that this city
can be expanded to a population of
% 900 in q very few years if the road be
brought through, and they know that it
can be demonstrated. What is more,
they know that no modern railroad
management viii fail to appreciate the
benefits that would accrue to its COM
pany from having a large city built
UP in its exclusive territory.
OF course, we have some people who
pooh-pooh the idea of making a large
city of Boise. That has always been
the case in every city. It is necessary
to fire away right over the heads of
that class and leave them to fall in
when their shell of excessive conserva-
tism shall have been shattered by the
logic of events. Men come here from
other places, look over the country and
its resources and say, Boise should be
great city, There are enough of our
citizens, who realize this, to inaugurate
the movement that is to accomplish the
desired end. The Short Line is going
to come through Boise. Keep the pre-
diction in mind.
To have the main line of the Oregon
Short Line pass through Boise would
be an immense advantage to the town,
and possibly, if the good people of that
place will make a determined and per-
sistent effort to have the line changed,
they may succeed. One great reason
why Boise does not grow as it should
is the fact that it is off the main line.
1t is a beautiful place and ordinarily
should be a big place. Certain it is that
it is the most promising town in Idaho
and has every facility for becoming a
large city. The thing that it most
lacks now to make it such is the main
line of the Short Line. Did it pass
through the town travellers would see
what the place has to offer and home

The Bow and the Poet.

Youths Companion: An author whose
home was in a, country town, had
planned days outing in Boston. He
intended to transact little business,
see a few sights, and crown the day by
attending a reception given to James
Russell Lowell. He had made UP his
mind, after some consideration, to take
his little son with him, for an early
glimpse of distinguished society. Of
course the small boy, who had never
before been in the city, was delighted;
and in due time the pair set out.
On their eturn the other members of
the family clustered about them, and
as they unvound the little fellow from
his heavy furs and muffiers, he was
asked, eagerly: What did you see in
Boston?"
1--WE thaw." came the answer in a
breathless burst, 1.-The anaconda and
the fat woman and the living Hercu-
lethe."
They had been to museum of Curl
osities, as well as to an authors re
ception, and-according to youthful
rules of precedence-Mr. Lowell natur-
ally ranked a long way after this re-
nowned trio.
Nevertheless, the boy bore away two
distinct memories of the poet, though in
the first it is probable that the living
I1CiC uICO llclu LlIS Id V MS dOQDI-
less suggested the topic of CONVERSE
ton, which was physical strength.
Mr.. Lowell had narrated to his open
mouthed, small auditor an anecdOte Of
a prize-fghter who, in danger of being
run over in crowded London thor
oughfare, had knocked down and killed
a horse with a blow between the eyes.
His other recollection is of his own
pleased embarrassment, and the insist
ent cordially of the poet-so often
spoken of as over-punctilious and fas-
tidious-who would shake hands with
him, extending for the purpose a hand
faultlessly gloved in gray kid. which
clasped without reluctance the child S

THE AsPHALTUM LANDS.

1t is only a few months before the
Uncompahgre reservation will be
opened to settlement, and then the
question of the disposition of the as
phaltum lands will be a pressing and
important one. Mr.. George H. Ed
ridge, the United States geological ex-
pert, calculates that 100000 tons of
asphaltum can be mined from these
lands, and estimates that at $40 a ton
1T has the enormous value Of SO, 200 000,-
900. Of corrse, such estimates of its
value are very much after the style of
the mill1maid's and are very likely to be
upset.
Asphaltum is a valuable mineral and
it is coming into greater and greater
use each year, and it bids fair to be-
come eventually the great paving ma
terial. 1t certainly is most desirable
that the deposits of it in Utah, the
only known ones outside of Trinidad
do not come under the control of a
trust or monopoly, yet there is danger
Of that very thing. Neither is it de-
sira.ble that the government shall re-
tain the asphaltum lands and lease
them, demanding a royalty upon all
asphaltum mined. That would be a
radical departure so far as the DISPOSE
ton Of mineral lands is concerned. 1t
looks now as though whatever dispo-
sition should be made of the lands that
a monopoly would control the output
and fix the price; and this through con-
tracing with the lessees of the lands.
should the lease system be adopted,
or by contracting with the owners of
the lands, should they be sold.
While the general government is unx-
ious to get revenue out of the lands
in one form or another it is no less
important that the state should derive
a revenue from them. The question
of what shall be done with the asphalt
tum lands is an important and diff
f1cult one and will require much study
to properly answer it.

ALIEN LABOR LAWS.

A prominent Canadian editor and a.
particular friend of Sir Wilfred Laurier
is now in Washington and has been
talking some about the question of
alien contract labor in the United
States and Canada. His remarks on
the question were as follows:
1t has been said, too, in labor pa
per, that Mr.. Laurier has passed an
alien labor law in Canada excluding
Americans from contracts and contract
employment on the railroad now being
built through the Crows Nest pass in
the Rocky mountains, which, to a GER
tain extent, is government work.
This is quite true. The Canadian gov
eminent could not do otherwise in view
of the harsh manner in which Cana
dams have been handled for years back
under the alien labor law of the United
States. But he has said from the first
that he is prepared to meet Eyour con-
gress half way in order to secure the
modification of both laws in so far as
they affect the citizens of the two coun-
tries, and he has stated that he will
discuss the subject with the president
In the Klondike, which is Canadian ter
ritory, there are now several thousand
Americans digging gold. Next sprins.
L
ish Columbia, where quartz mines of
enormous value have been discovered.
the country is literally overrun by cap
italists and miners from Idaho, Wash
ington and Colorado. Mr.. Laurier does
not wish TO resort to harsh measures
with these enterprising fellows, many
of whom are contract laborers in q
technical sense, but what is to be done
if the United States officials continue
to treat Canadians who cross the line
in search of work as criminals? For
example, a servant girl who accompan-
les a family in which she is employed
in Canada to the United States, is held
to be a contract laborer and locked up.
American miners and American work
men of every kind have always enjoyed
the same rights and privileges in Can
ada as British subjects, and we are de-
sirous of treating them in that decent
way for all time. All we ask in return,
as a matter of fair play, is that Cana
dian. workingmen shall not be worried
by the police when it suits them to go
to Detroit or Buffalo in search of en-
ployment.
Alien labor laws are usually two
edged swords, as all such legislation is.

AFTER THE ALASKAN TRADE.

The merchants of San Francisco are
reaching out after Alaskan trade,
which has become of much more value
in the last year and very much of
which has been captured by Seattle.
If any one had said five years ago that
Seattle would become a formidable
rival of San Francisco he would have
been laughed at and no one would have
said it but the most enthusiastic in
habitant of the Sound city. But Seattle
has become such a rival, and the mer-
chants of San Francisco realize the
fact. Last Tuesday there was meet
ing of merchants, manufacturers and
ship-owners in San Francisco to devise
means for the promotion of that city's
trade with Alaska. The president of
the board of trade called the meeting
to order and, among other things, said:
I'VE hear of the advent of the great
est band of gOld-SeekerS the world has
ever known, and the cities of the north
are advertising their facilities all over
the east. San Francisco has not been
heard from, and it is time for us to get
out and say something and let the gold
seekers know that this is the best place
to start from"
The mayor of San Francisco said:
1T ought to be matter of course
that San Francisco is better equipped
for Quitting miners than any other
city. If there is anything to be known
about mining, this is the place to ascer
tain it. We ought to advertise our adj
vantages for the equipment of miners,
and the fact that transportation can be
had as cheap here as from any other
place. The man in the east who is go
ing to Alaska is more concerned about
transportation than anything else. If
we can show him that he can get trans
portation as cheap here as in any other
port we will probably get that man,
because he will understand that here
he can find the best facilities for out
fitting, and the mint is here, where he
must come to dispose of his accumula
lions finally. 1t is matter of the first
| Importance that we shall be able to
provide transportation for thousands
next spring. Having that, 1 believe
we will get the business, because peo-
pie will naturally come to the greater
city"
One ground of complaint was the
fact that Dyea had been made a port
Of sub-entry, still the fact that Seattle
has suddenly loomed up as a rival for
Alaskan trade is the great cause of
alarm, and undoubtedly that city is go
ing to capture and retain a large por-
ton of the trade. The fact is that San
Francisco has been caught mapping
and is just awakening from her dream
of false security. 1t is time she did

A Wilmington, Del, dispatch to the
Baltimore American says that we'd
ding ceremony which interested many
people took place in that city last Sat
urday night. Charles j. Eppler was
the groom, and Miss Mary Rutter, the
bride, We're to have been married on
Thursday night, but Eppler did not
put in an appearance. On Friday night
it is said that he gave out a statement
explaining that his failure to appear
was due to a disagreement between
himself and his prospective bride over
the kind of shoes and necktie he should
wear. Miss Rutter wanted him to
wear white tie and patent leather
shoes, but he objected Miss Rutter
gave in, and they were married last
night, Eppler wearing a yellow tie and
brown shoes.
No man with any self-respect will
let woman choose his neckties The
groom in this case asserted his fnalien-
able right at the right time.

The rush to the Klondike and the
opening up of mines in British Column
bia all means that thousands of Amer
leans are going into Canada, and of
course they are subject to Canadian
laws; and all laws, as everybody knows,
can be given a construction that is
marsh and makes them bear heavily
upon those to whom they are applied.
So far as Canada is concerned there
should be a constant effort to draw her
closer to this country rather than to
ALLEVIATE her, for it is not impossible by
any means that eventually there will
be political union between that coun-
try and this. The cultivation of the
friendliest of relations and the encour-
agement of increased intercourse be-
tween the people of the two countries
will tend to bring such union about A
very decided modification of the alien
labor laws of both countries would aid
