A plan has been devised for
putting life into the laws passed
since the admission OF Idaho into
statehood The governor began
a thorough investigation of the
whole matter several weeks ago.
and has consulted with a large
number of persons upon whose
judgment he felt he could rely.
As a result of this investigation
and the advice received by him
he has prepared the plan refer
red to for presentation when the
Legislature meets.
In brief the is to re-enact all
the laws of the past four sessions
excepting such as may have been
declared unconstitutional. This
is TO be done during the first
days of the session Life viii

that are invalid because of viola

The people of Custer county
have for many years heard much
about different proposed rail
roads through Custer county. but
as vet all these roads are a long
ways of, but we will wait till the
train comes along-then well all
take ride. A railroad would be
a grand sight to some who have
never saw one. We publish the
following from the Statesman,
for what it is worth
The Boise, Nampa & Owyhee
railroad will be extended north
as soon as the weather viii per
NIT Of active operations.
The statement was made yes
terday to a Statesman reporter
by A. Middleton of New York.
Mr.. Middleton has been inter
ested with Col. Dewey in the
railroad project from the start.
With J. NJ Clark, chief engineer
Of the road. c. II. Bradley, a
wealthy resident of Duluth, and
G. R. Shaw of Caldwell. he has
just returned from a trip to Long
valley over a portion of the route
OF the northern extension. The
party arrived in Boise yesterday
and last evening in the course of
an interview Mr.. Middleton gave
utterance to the words quoted.
The money for the construc-
tiOn of the road is assured" he
added. IAN entirely satisfactory
showing of the resources of the
country to be penetrated having
been made. The surveys have
been partially completed and &C
tive work will be commenced as
soon as the weather conditions
make it possible"
Mr.. Middleton has been work
ing on this railroad project for
several years. The line from
Nampa to Guffey was construct
ed, but further extension was
rendered impossible owing to
the condition of the money mark
ct. Now money is easy and
plenty of it can be had. So the
northern extension is a go; and
it will be followed by extension
on from Gufey to the mining
camps of Owyhee. the southern
/ terminals.
An extensive system is con-
templated, with one northern
terminal at Butte aud another at
Lewiston. and while no part of
the original plan has been aban-
6oned, it is not intended TO build
next year any further than Long
valley. This will open up an
immense and wonderful terri
tory.
The line will cross over from
Nampa to the Boise valley, which
will be crossed at Star. From
Star the line viii run to Willow
creek and proceed up that creek.
passing three to FIVE miles west
of Pearl and across the Boise
Payette divide to the Payette
river near Marsh, thence up the
Payette to Horseshoe Bend aud
on up the river to Garden valley.

and without single defeat; the expeditions
reaching far to the north and to the south al
ways with success, If not always with the
full measure of success expected and promised
by General Otis, and the supply Of such mov-
ing forces with food and munitions in spite
of all natural difficulties, have all reflected
high credit upon the soldiers, their officers, the
generals In command Of active forces, and upon
General Otis himself. But generals who have
attained high credit in other fields do not ap-
pear to have been equally successful under the

In any degree his fault. One thing is certain;
