The iron for the fourteen vats for
the completion of the DeLamar plant
are now being shaped and punched by
Decundit in Boise, and we will soon
hear the boiler shop sounds in the mill
while they are being set up. The COM
pletion of these vats means the en-
ployment of the original number of
miners and other employees in and
around the mines, and the tram will
then run full time instead of half as at
present.

Will We Have a Custom Cyanide Pia
Built in DeLama.?

The want of some person to assume
the leadership in a strictly bust
ness proposition was never more
apparent in DeLamar than at present
All the mine owners and business men
here are unanimous in the expression
of the opinion that the construction of
cyanide plant here would be of very
great benefit to the cemp; would enable
the owners of dozens of claims on the
mountain to test their ores and doubt
less make several of them producers
up to the capacity of small plant at
least, and would enable the owners to
develop their respective properties out
of their production, in part at least.
Such plant would give new energy
to the owners, and the fact that any
number of properties have become pro-
ducers would attract capital here.
Probably the sum of 5000 would
erect plant here of fifty tons daily
capacity. A talk with the merchants
and business men in town shows that
this sum could very readily be raised
among them for this enterprise. Num-
pers of claim owners who have no mon
ey to put up, several of whom are good
mechanics, are willing to put time in
on the construction. 1t is so unani-
mously agreed that the project could
be successfully carried out, that all
that is now wanted is some one to take
the lead and get the interested parties
together and talk it over, select persons
to see what tan be done toward raising
the means and have the different prop
ties inspected, the ore sampled and
tested and if found practicable, have a
company formed to put up and operata
a plant. Will not somebody step up
and take the lead in this matter, at |
least to the extent of having a meeting
called to talk matters over?

The unanimity with which congress
vote1 fifty million dollar war fund
emphasizes the claim that we have a
right to use big n. when we call this
country Nation. There is no longer
North and South, but one country.
Texas, which was the last state to come
back into the family at the close of our
big unpleasantness, is just as much one
of the sisterhood as South Carolina,
which was the first to secede, and both
of them are more loyal than New York.
If it weren't that it would deprive the
Caldwell MALTA of a coveted job, we
would be in favor of giving Texas a
contract to sweep every Spaniard out
of Cuba and to help the Cubans to set
up Republic of their own.

We like the people of Boise so well
and know they want "to get onto the
main line" SO very much that we won't
charge them nickel for making this
very valuable suggestion to them. Buy
the little steamer, "Mabel," as soon as
the Huntington and Seven Devils mine
promoters are through selling their
Kleinsmith road bonds and bring it up
to the first Snake river bridge above
Weiser. Then demand that the Short
Line put draws in their bridges so that
you can run the boat to Guffy. That
will fetch those railroad fellows, and
they will at once see that it will be
cheaper to put Boise on the main line.
There are more ways than one to choke
a cat and, much as they may talk, Boise
people will never put up a subscription
big enough to get the road. The pur-
chase of a cheap little steamer and
proper representations made to con
gress may fetch it. Years ago the peo-
pie of Minneapolis SHE'D little worth
less steamboat at congress and got an
to bulkhead the Missis-
sippi to save the water power of the
falls of st. Anthony. Try the same
thing and you may get the best of

Senator Stewart has taken up the
question of the mail service in this
western country, and has introduced
in the senate the following resolution,
which was considered by unanimous
consent, and agreed to-:
Resolved, That the Postmaster Cen
eral be directed to inform the senate
what was the aggregate amount of
money expended during the last calen-
dar year for carrying the mails by use
of horses or other animals over what
are commonly known as star routes,
how much of the money so expended
was paid to the original contractors,
and how much was paid to the sub con-
tractors. Also whether any original
contractor obtained more than one can
tract which he sub contracted. IL so,
give the name and number of contracts
which each pei son received and sub let
and the amount that he received from
the department over and above what
was paid to the sub contractors.
The present system is an outrage and
should be suppressed. AS at present
conducted the contracts are given to
eastern men who have never seen the
country through which the mails are
to be carried, and know nothing of the
difficulties to be contended with, and
care still less. They bid the routes in
bidder can hope to oppose them, and
when they are secured, sub let them
at still lower figure to any one who is
willing to take chance and can file
the bond which they require. The sub |
receives his pay direct from
the department, while the original con-
tractor receives the difference, and for
which he renders no service whatever.
The natural result of this policy is a
poor and inadequate service. If this
money could be devoted to
the improvement of the facilities for
rapid and easy communication be-
tween isolated communities, it would
be of immense benefit. The system
should be changed SO as to allow no
one who is not bona fide resident of
the state in which the route is laid, to
bid for contract. There would always
be sufficient competition to keep the
price down to a figure where good
service could be secured for about the
iame as that now paid those individ
ials in Virginia and Kentucky.
We believe it to be the duty and the
of the Government to pro-
'idc for all the people the quickest and
lost means of communication possible,
'ut under the present system we are at
he mercy of pack of grasping con
FACTORS, who are utterly indifferent as
o how we are Inconvenience, so long
S they continue to receive their com
MISSIONS.
We trust Senator Stewart will stir
his thing up until the present method
f letting contracts is abolished. By
o doing he will earn the gratitude, not {
My of his immediate constituents, but
he people of the entire West-Tusca-
ora Times Review.

have no dry dock on the Atlantic sea
board where she could be repaired.
We have begun constructing modern
coast defenses, but the work is only
one-third done, although we have been
engaged upon it for ten years. If all
the guns planned for were in position
to day, we have not nearly enough ar
tillery-men to man them.
AS for aggressive movements, we have
no army which we could dispatch to
Cuba or to Spain. Our entire army
numbers less than thirty thousand
men, and is scattered over thousands
of miles of territory. And if we had a
force to senI to Cuba, we should send
them to death by disease, for the clim-
ate is deadly to men of our race.
1t is true that the endurance, patriot
ism and resources of the American
people would sustain them in any just
war; but the fact should not be over
looked that we are so situated that
even greatly inferior adversary could
infiict upon us, because of our unpre-
pared condition, injuries that would be
alike to the humanitarian
and to the political economist. A prop
or understanding of this will keep us
from being unduly boastful, and from
talking flippantly of the chances of war.

A piece OF electric submarine cable,
picked up by diver near the wreck of
the Maine, and now in possession of
the Board of-inquiry, cpnclusively set
ties the question of the explosion being
a wretched piece eff Spanish treachery,
whether officially authorized or other
wise. This ought to at once stop a de-
mand for indemnity on the part of our
government. Such treachery cannot
be atoned for with money. The Span
ish people have demonstrated that they
are outside the pale of civilization and
should be treated as if they were be-
meath the contempt of all nations.
Three hundred years ago they were the
bandits of the world. They should be
dealt with as such now, since they have
substituted treachery for their former
daring. Let loose the dogs of war

SENATE SCENES
When the House Decision Was Made
Known

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-As soon as
the decision of the house became known In
the senate, the senate chamber became the
scene of many animated conferences. TIE
leaders of the Democrats, Populists and
Silver Republicans got together. and i'm g.
mediatey the word was passed around to
non-concur in the house amendment, and
not to agree to conference, thus throw
ing the responsibility FOR delay on the
house. 1t was whispered that some Of the
Republican senators who had originally
voted to insert the Turpie amendment
would no longer stand by 1t. Ten Repub-
Hcan senators will oppose concurrence IN
the house amendment and vote against
asking a conference.
Thanks to Sigsbee
Mr.. Mason of Illinois presented and had
referred to the naval affairs committee
the following concurrent resolution:
"That the senate of the United States,
the house of representatives concurring
therein, extends to Captain Charles Sigs-
bee a vote of thanks for the courage, hero
ism and devotion displayed by him upon
the occasion of the terrible calamity which
befell his comamnd in the destruction OF
the United States battleship Maine"
