The Owyhee Histo ricaI 1. .iroctory,

We have taken the liberty of copying
the biographical sketch of Mr.. Dave
Adams, from the Historical Directory
of Owyhee, just published from the
Avalanche press. It is one of many
sketches of pioneers in that interest
ing volume. They we're hardy and
adventurous lot, those men who trudged
over the mountains and plains in earl
er times, inviting civilization and in
dustry to follow the lights of their
camp fires and help subdue the wilds
and savagss Of the west. Not Owyhee
alone, but every section of the noun
tain mining region should have just
such publication in which to embalm
the memories of its adventurous spirits.
Every person who has resided in and
has made friends in Owyhee should
have and preseve copy of this Direc-
tory, not that it is by any means per-
feet anb complete, but that it is excel
lent and quite accurate as far as it
goes. There are obtruded into its
pages sketches and pictures of Johny-
come-latelys who neither by their
prominence in public enterprises OF
affairs or for any other good reason ex
cept their willingness to put up for
it" have any right to appear along side
of "Old" Hill, Cap. Paul, Robt. Bruce,
Col. Dewey, John Catlow, ct al, while
many who were their conspicuous com
peers have been overlooked. But the
labor bestowed upon the collection and
of the book has been great |
and well done. A future edition of the
work will doubtless find much to be |
added and but little to be eliminated. |

gon and the Weiser, Payette and Boise
in Idaho, each of which has special and
distinctive features and attractions
which, taken altogether, make up a
territory with great future in view.
Unlike the first settlers in Illinois or
Kansas, found there. one does not find
here great unbroiien stretches of land,
one section of which is sample of the
whole, but only valleys overlooked by
rough hills or mountains. But these
same mountains add to the value as
well as attractiveness of the valleys.
Their rich mines and fine grazing lands
are an additional source of wealth,
while their influence upon the climate
of the valleys conduces both to to their
healthfullness and productiveness. Be-
sides this they form the great storage
reservoirs which supply the moisture
for growing crops.
Such publications. as this Payette
should be widely circulated,
to hasten the time when these valleys
will achieve the glory of their possibil-
tiles. We congratulate Brother Ven
able for his success in publishing SO
fine number.

The Mountain Home and Mountain
City, Nevada, people seem to be in real
earnest on the proposition to connect
the two places by "A good wagon road.
Both towns have held meetings and
promised liberal subscriptions, and the
Duck Valley and Bruneau people will
help out The short Line Railway off,
cials have intimated that the company
woull stand half the cost. To the peo
pie of Mountain City and Duck Valley
such road would give relief from the
extortionate freight charges of the Cen
tral Pacific, Elko now being their en-
trepot. To the people of Mountain
Home, Bruneau and Little valley, it
would give a splendid market for fruits,
grain and vegetables. 1t would also
greatly swell the wool and cattle trade
of Mountain Home. Our county COM
missioners owe it to the taxpayers of
Bruneau. Little valley and Grand

Constructively there are twice as
many diamonds in the county of Ram

ago. According to the honest appraisal
of the owners Of the diamonds there
Were just enough of them to represent
total of 1000 when the board Of
equalization got to the item of diamonds
in the assessment yesterday morning.
Before the item was disposed of the
diamonds had appreciated in value Just
100 per cent. The intimation Of the
board to the owners of the sparks was
to the effect that they were altogether
too modest in valuing their jewels

H. w. Donaldson, of NOrthcote came
down yesterday from the northern part
Of the state, where he has been can
wasting the crop situation. He said
Taken right straight through, the
Minnesota crop this year Is the largest
! In years. The crop of the three states
will be the biggest ever harvested. The
wheat and corn crop are both much
larger than usual. 1t is not often that
both wheat and corn crops are CORE
spondingly large; it more frequently
happens that one Of them is failure.
More hay has been put up this season
| than ever before The weather this
season has been we'll adapted to hay
In all parts Of the state, and the farm
ers have not been slow to take advan-
, tage of this. The meadow lands have
yielded an exceptionally fine quality Of
/! grass and much attention has been
given to grazing and stock raising.
| THE general crop average of each of
the Minnesota counties will be surpris-
Ing, and I think the figures of even
the most sanguine will be expected"
There was quite a significant gath
ering of North Dakota Republican pol
lttcians In the city yesterday, doubtless
preliminary to general conference
/ which will be held bere within the
next few days.
Congressman M. N. Johnson, the pic
turesque Jud La Moure, F. B. Fancher,
Republican nominee for governor, and
State Treasurer G. E. Nichols came in
yesterday afternoon on the Northern
Pacific. CongressmanJoh registered
at the Merchants and paid for his sup
per- but did not show up during the
evening. Jud La Moure and the rest
of the party instead of going to their
usual haunts kept we'll under cover,
engaging rooms at the Clarendon no.
tel.
Jud, with his usual foresight, took
this precaution to divert suspicion from
the object of their visit. True to a
time-honored custom, the North Da-
kota wise ones always meet in ST.
Paul about this time before every cam
paign to fix up the fences. The rest
of the crowd will show up possibly to-
day, but everything is expected to be
on the quiet. Congressman Johnson
| ran down to Chicago last night, but will
be back tomorrow morning, which is
taken to mean that nothing will be
done until tomorrow La Moure duck
ed out of sight as soon as he reached
the hotel, and Take the gentleman's

could rot be found either.
Morris Thomas, of Duluth, passed
through the city yesterday ON his way
home from trip through the Western
states, spending a month in Arizona,
looking over the mining prospects Of
the country in the vicinity Of Phoenix.
He says considerable Eastern capital
is being Invested in mining property
and some of the mines are being op-
Grated with profit.
J. e. Phalen, of Fargo, N. D., was
Of ~,
ports an unusual number of cattle be-
ing fed on the ranges this year. How
ever, the shipments to market this fall
will fall considerably below that of
| last year. The cattle men will market
very few feeders this year, as the

this fall will be carried over until

Hon. ii. F. Stevens are appointed delegates
of the st. Paul Chamber of Commerce to
the t national conference on foreign policy of
the United States, to be held at Saratoga
Springs, Aug. 10 and 20, 1898.
resolved, That such delegates be instruct
ed not to commit this chamber to any de-
hned policy by reason of the fact the time has
peen too short to ascertain definitely the
views of the chamber and that so far as
the sentiment Of the chamber has been made
apparent, it is sin favor of a conservative
policy.
lowing letter received from the officers Of
the national conference on future foreign
policy of the United States:
The changes which have occurred in the
war situation since the call was issued for
the national conference on foreign policy of
the United States at Saratoga, Aug 10 and
70 have worked largely to increase the in
terest in that meeting.
Since the terms Of the proposed treaty Of
peace, as officially announced. show that the
great problem of the disposition of the Phi
1pp1nes is left open, the committee will make
no change in that part of the programme
the Nicaragua canal has suggested the prac-
icab1lity of giving recognition to that ques-
international arbitration, having especial
referneee to the proposed treaty with Eng
land and looking also to the same action
towards other countries, will be considered.
The commercial interests of the United States
will also be given an important place in the
conference. The committee on arrangements
does not presume to make up complete pro-
gramme for the conference, but simply to
furnish few representative speakers who
view the problems from different standponts
The rest of the programme will be left open
to the conference. Respectfully yours.
Henry Wade Rogers, Chairman.
Ralph M. Easley, Secretary.
The committee on arrangements for the
conference consists of such representative
Americans as DR.. Albert Shaw, of the Re-
view of Reviews; President Cyrus Northrop,
OF the University, of Minnesota; President w.
K. Harper, of Chicago university: Franklin
MacVeagh, of Chicago: Edward Rozewater,

ty Attorney Zollman Anyway.
When the case of James Hall, the al
legged pickpocket, over whose release
In a secret session of the municipal
court week ago, over which the po-
lice department and Assistant County
Attorney Zollman had a falling out.
was called before Judge Hine yester-
day, the complaining witness, N. E.
Hanson, of Grove City, failed to APP
pear. Neither was the prisoner. Hail
in court, but his bondsmen have been
released.
The police were much disappointed
at Hanson:s failure to appear. The
Grove City man had written several
letters reiterating his claim that he
was positive that Hall was the man
who picked his pocket at the capitol
corner stone laying ceremonies, and
promising to be on hand YESTERDAY
Assistant County Attorney Zollman in
formed the court that in view Of the
criticism that had been passed upon
mis- course in the case, he was anxious
to have the matter investigated He
therefore requested that a bench war
rant be issued for Hanson, and said
that he would do everything in his
power as an officer of the county to Sc
cure Hanson's presence. Nothing was
said, however, about Halls absence
and the police are wondering what good
1t Will do to get the prosecuting wit
ness when the prisoner has been al
lowed to leave the city and his bonds
men released from their obligation.
The case was continued until Tuesday.
when another effort will be made to
have Hanson in court.
