Tribute to Idaho.
The Salt Lake Tribune, in ito
New Years edition, pays the follow
ing generous tribute to our young
State:
"The Gem of the Mountains" 10
in full evidence on this New Years
morning. She offers her full quota
Of silver, an increased volume of
gold and lead, double portion for
her wool and sheep, q vast increase
in her cattle interests, while the
past year has demonstrated that all
she lacks to make her the foremost
fruit State in the Union is to plant
enough fruit trees. She has in
Boise valley about 5000 or 5000
acres in bearing, and the result is
- fine 40 was ever seen from an
orchard since that first apple trouble
behind the walls Of Eden. No State
has a greater variety of industries
for men to engage in than Idaho,
and on some of the lines her own
people seem only just now awaken
ing to the possibilities of their State.
Think of it. Idaho has never yet
produced half wheat enough to
make the -four which her people
consume. The chances are she i'm
ports annually 100000 worth of
beans. She does not raise oats
enough for her horses, and still she
has millions of acres of the richest
kind of soil and streams running
everywhere out of her hills. But
her people are greatly encouraged
by the results of the past year /
Their fruit, their lead, their gold,
and the possibilities of indefinite
expansion fill their hearts with hope,
and then their claim il that their
death rate is less than any other
State, that the deaths from disease
are far below the average of any
other State. They have right to
rejoice, and the Tribune sends them
all halls and congratulations this
morning.

Miss Helen could In Court.
The cloud that has hung over the
estate of the late J. Gould for the
last three years was removed only
a few days ago by q decision Of
Justice Friedman, in the Supreme
court of New York state, directing
the jury in the case of Angel VS..
Gould to bring in verdict Tor the
defendant.
This decision psremptorily ended
the claims of various parties that |
the millionaire had, in 1858, married |
one Sarah Ann Brown, and by her
had one child, daughter.
Very little credence by those who |
knew was accorded to this woman
who attempted to destroy the honor
of man now dead, and the fair
name of his children now living
Considerable prominence, however,
was given to Mrs. Angels claims
because of the backing she secured
from . Mrs. Margaret E. Cody, Of
Denver. Between the two this claim
of early wifehood was pressed, and
Jay Gould's children were con-
sequently embarrassed. Neither
George Gould, Howard Gould nor
the Countess de Castelaine took
any prominence in the defense. III
remained for Miss Helen Gould,
the only unmarried daughter oil
the late millionaire, to defend her
fathers name in court. This she
did, and her appearance there was
. surprise to the lawyers for the
prosecution.
Miss Gould is now twenty-six
years old. unmarried, worth $780,
600, 900, charitable, and seems to
have no other object in life than to
dispose of her wealth in way to
confer the greatest good on the
greatest number. Her only public
in all her life was this
one appearance in court, when the
good name of her father was called
into question.
