At the conclusion of the march an
advertising parody On "a Hot Time in
the Old Town Tonight" was sung by
the marchers. The words were fur
nished by the ladies specially for the
occasion, and but for lack of space
are worthy of publication.
This closed the opening part of the
program, and the marchers disbanded
amid the loud applause of the audi
ence- The following program was
then given from the stage:
Piano Duet,

Several numbers On the program
were encored and this part of the eve
nins's entertainment was also fully
enjoyed
The receipts from both supper and
adveftising amounted to about $500.
The only regret the ladies had to ex-

At the home of T. & II. Bsws, in
Spring valley, on Thursday, Dec. /,
31st. at $50 P. NJ, all that was
mortal of P. Fl. Lowell passed to the
great beyond. In his loss, Nevada
looses worthy citizen and sturdy
pioneer; he came from Illinois to Cali
fornia in 1852, and was among tho
frat telegraph operators on the Coast
The was considered an expert in the
business. He superintendent the di-
vision from Virginia CITY to Salt Lake
on the old overland road, while it ex-
listed under tho manageinei of the
Western Union; he also held positions
of trust under the administrations Of
Nevada's early Govsrnor's-Roup,
and others and was always to be re-
lied on, as he was huneat, faithful
and deligeut; as genial as a summer
day. He was known all along the
old overland road from Virginia to
Salt Lake city, and many roadside
station echoed aud re.echced with
joyous mirth As they danced the
hours away 10 tho seductive and
captivating music of Peters viol;n--a
true type of a thorough wcstsrn man.
He loved the west anu its people, as
his kindred in the East tried hard to
have him come and live with them,
but Pote could not leave, or give up,
the hospitahln and independent snr-
roundings Of a western life. So like
the flowers no lived on, until the blast
and chill of winter cut him down.
And though no kindred hand, or low
ing heart was near him in his last
hours to soothe the throbbing head,
or cheer the failing heart; kind friends
were there to minister to his wants
in brotherly love end filial affection,
and he was laid to rest in true chris
tan devotion and manly sympathy,
surrounded by Borrowing frisnds. No
one knew him but to praise him, and
the manly attributes were so well
mixed in his nature that one could
stand up to the whole world and say,
that was a man. The deceased was
born in England, and at the time Of
his death was79 years Of age.

We have to record the departure of
another pioneer, of whomda more sx-
tended reference is in another column.
The first Sundayin the New Year many
eyes were directed across the valley
to note the arrival Of the funeral pro-
csssion Of our old friend, Peter H.
Lowell, which as is approached our
town, was met by citizens on horse
back and vehicles, many OF whom had
assembled to pay their last respects to
an old and worthy citizen; having been
: resident in this community for very
many years; he was not known to
have an enemy, but had the respect Of
all. Mr.. D. R. Collins officiatsd at
the grave.
Messrs. Joseph, Harry and Thos.
Bews, Thos. Bambrick and other
friends, from Spring valley, of the
late Mr.. Lowell, were in town at

ing mass and the waves melted it
away at the sea line
The theory of this explorer is
that all gold comes from the blue
vault above IN the form of meteoric
dust and not from quartz veins
which have always been by practi-
cal miners to be the only source Of
this precious metal. II is true
that many existing conditions co
not accord with this theory nor
will the meteoric idea furnish a
solution to all the mysteries. In
old Florence the miners believed
the gold to have been a glacial de
post. Recent Developments have
changed that belief to some extent
The existence of mineral veins be-
low the false bed rock has supplied
confirmation of the old theory
In Warrens, however. the gold
seems to have been a surface form
alton or deposit. The early ex-
periences in quartz mining in that
camp failed to disclose any tissure
veins through which the gold could
have come from the bowels of the
earth.
The old theory was that the
flour gold OF our rivers was ground
fine by the moving rocks. The
new idea is that nuggets are made
by the mills of nature, that the
rocks of the rivers roll and beat
and weld the small particles of gold
into nuggets. Gold of all the
metals isthe one that YIELDS without
heat. In the turbulent streams of
the mountains, boulders may do
the work of the hammer and beat
the gold together into nuggets as
the waters deposit it in the crevices
on the rifles.

The proposition Of the Lewiston
Water & Power company to con-
struct system Of roadways to out
lying districts is one of great i'm
portan ce. The Willowa valley in
Oregon and the Paradise and Lost
prairies intervening are rich COM
mercial districts. They are with
out transportation conveniences.
Their chief product is live stock in
the shipment Of which the Union
Pacific has retained a monopoly
by the eXtention of a branch road
to Elgin Oregon. This terminus
is from sixty to a hundred miles
from the producing districts; and
the facilities offered are of the
most imperfect kind, The wagon
road from Enterprise to Elgin is
over very rugged mountain
course and is practically impaSsa-
BILE several months in the year.
The natural route from the
Wiliowa to the Lewiston valley is
one of easy grades down the Grande
Ronde from Deer Creek to the
Snake and down the Snake to this
valley. 1t is a natural road bed
over the greater part of the dis
tance and is now passable with the
exception Of about nine miles.
This break is caused by rock cliffs
along the liver which can easily
be overcome. Practical men have

The press dispatches announce
the prevalence of distress upon the
reservation, While there might
be merit to the appeal for seed
there is no suffering for the want
of food. The settlers on these new
lands have never grown grain for
seed, and there is doubtless a
shortage on that score. The high
price of wheat has drained the
county OF the usual surplus. 1t
will require a large amount of seed
tor the increased acreage, and no.
body doubts the lack of cash to
meet this demand. 1t the reserva-
ton farmers could be assisted IN
that respect it would be charity
well bestowed.

A New Thssry isr Geld.

An Alaskan miner sontroverts
the old theories of the sources OF
gold. He found ruby sand and
-four gold on an ice6eld in the
north. This deposit was above
any geological formation that
could have been the source of the
deposit. The ice6eld was dead
glacier and the deposit upon its
surface was the meteoric dust that
Is found on all permanent ice form
atoms. The ocean beach at the
foot of this dead glacier was rich
in -four gold and the peculiar ruby
sand that formed the deposit on the
ice. The gold on the beach had
been carried by the glacier in past
when the ice was a NOV.

III every instance where the
question of new county has been
agitated there will be found, when
the thing is probed to bottom, a
matter of personal gain that out
weighs all other interests the pro-
moters of the bill have at stake.
Townsite boomers and prospective
county officers ere in or behind the
lobby that urges county division in
times when retrenchment is the
order of the day. Any one at all
conversant with the question of
taxation in Idaho knows that by
far the greater burden of the tax
levy comes from the demand to
support the county organization
How, then, en- Legislators justify
the expediency of creating new
county governments, to add in
creasing expenses to the burden of
the taxpayer. The counties in
Idaho are large and in many in
stances settlements remote from
the county seat often suffer incon-
venienCe, but in the cases now be-
fore the legislature the inconven-
fence will not measure up to
the additional burden of taxation
necessitated by creating new coun-
ties.

The lumber interest OF the
Clearwater basin is second only to
the mining interests. The lumber
woods of the mountains drained by
our rivers are of the first quality
and great in extent. The cedar of
this district are of distinct and eX-
cellent quality There may be no
botanical distinction between our
cedars and those of the coast
swambs but there is vast differ
ence III the quality. This noun
tain product is harder and sus-
Ceptible of a polish that makes it a
fine finishing wood. Our white
pine is new wood on the coast
and is in demand all over the north
west. The frs, pines and spruces
OF the lower woodlands do not fill
the demand for soft pine. 1t will
ever be the case that the cities of
the lower country will come to the
Clearwater basin for pine lumber
and there is no more useful wood
in all the list than soft pine
The present condition of our
lumber trade is due to serious neg
lect on the part Of business men
1t is one enterprise that would
have prospered through this term
of general depression and one
that would be safe in the hardest
times that may threaten us in the
future. An era of building is in
progress in this valley. on the
reservation and in the mining
camps. All this makes bright
prospects for the future of our lum-
Der trade and still it is neglected.
A series of accidents have brought
us to face this condition. The
market for lumber and lumber pro-
ducts have always been renumera-
tive here. The mills for ten wears
past have but poorly met the
natural demand for building ma
terial. The development Of the
country and the progress of the
city offers greatly increased de-
mand with no available supply in
sight. This is surely a good field
for investment. In this time of
failing fortunes it is strange that
such opportunities are unimproved.

The new theory of retrenchment
and reform as praCtlCed by the
Legislature seems to follow in true
democratic lines. In order to
avoid heavy tax levy they pro-
pose a bond issue to borrow money.
Let posterity pay the bills. The
only way to reform is to reform.
The proper way to retrenCh is to
elect reform legislature who will
select expert committees at high
salaries to figure out the cost of
retrenChment that does not re-
trench. If the honest taxpayers
OF Idaho are not persuaded by this
time that they have paid dear for
their whistle we must concede
with the great Snowman that the
American people love a humbug.

Notwithstanding the fact that
the sheep industry has suffered
greatly at the hands of the present
national democratic administration
the demo-populist state legislature
seem to have: singled it out for a
death blow by a direct tax that
will practically drive the sheep
men off tie ranges in the state.
Under plea to protect their ranges
they have gnaled out this indus
try for determination. There is
no attempt made to justify this dis
elimination against one important
industry of the state. There is a
strong suspicion that since the
sheep industry has, in the past
been favored by protection and
since the men interested in the in
dustry favored that party in the
last campaign, the free silver con-
tingent in the legislature has taken
this method to emphasize some OF
their special ideas OF reform.

More earnest thought given to
questions of public policy and less
spasmodic crying for reform would

gogues who flourish only where
