The Scorn of the Civilized World.

Instead of speaking of the Mercurial
Frenchmen, it will hereafter be proper
to generalize men of that nationality
as the dastardly Frenchmen. The Me-
curial characteristics of the French
people have led them to perpetrate
what all the balance of the civilized
world considers one of the greatest
wrongs nation has ever done to a sin
gle human being. By military court
the proceedings of which have been
watched with interest by all fair mind
ee people, an officer in the army has
beeu fond guilty of treason, for the
second time, in the face of the facts
shown that a conspiracy had been
shown to condemn him, in which for
gerry and prying had both been shown
and more dishonorable intrigues had
been developed than ever shown in any
army trial before recorded. For the
"honor" of the French army its officers
have permitted it to be demonstrated
that it is the rottenest organization
dnown in the civilized world. The only
redeeming feature of the military court
which condemned a man against whom
nothing had been proven was that it
stultifiei itself by prenouncing its vic
tim guilty, with eXtenuating circum-
stances for treason and treacheryl
Poor France! Your "mercurial" people
have shown that they do not deserve
the liberties which rightly accompany
a republican form of government. You
are drifting rapidly toward anarchy or
the rule of "A tyrrany backed by the
most corrupt army Of modern times.
Your great exposition to show the cen
turies progress of the modern world
ought to be a failure. You may now
expect only the ssorn of the world.

Heber A. Wood, in a recent issue of
the Denver Mining reporter, i'll letter
reviewing the mining outlook in Idaho,
writes as follows:
".Ihe belt covering eastern Oregon,
Seven Devils, Warrens, Florence, Buff
ialo Hump, thence eastward into Butte
Is one OF Tine richest i'll the world, ac
cording TO its size. In this belt are
found gold, silver, copper, lead, iron,
antimony and zinc. There is ouly one
reply to questions concerning the value
OF the Seven Devils copper fields, and
that is, iii is great camp"
ut Is true number have come out
without finding anything, but that is
no fault OF the camp. Some prospect
on horseback and few go far from the
beaten trail. The character and value
OF the district must be judged from
what has already been found. These
are the Peacock, Helena, White Monu-
ment, Copper Queen, Bodie, South
Peacock, Standard and others, some of
which make the most remarkable cop
per showings ever known. Butte and
Baker City capitalists are getting large
holdings and railroad men are also be-
coming heavily interested. The road
being constructed to the district from

The main line will go to Council and

great deal of railroad construction is
going on in different parts of the State,
by several companies, the Oregon Short

With a public spirit quite equal to
his generosity, Captain De La Mar
promptly subscribed $4,000, or more
than 40 per cent of the assessed valua
tion of his Boise property, to the fund
being raise in that city, to get it pla-
ced on the o. S. l.. main line. 1t must
make some of the citizens of Boise re
gret their treatment of the generous
Captain which made him give up his
one time declared intention of making
the beautiful" his permanent home
and headquarters and selling off most
of his investments there at sacrifice.
One man like De La M.r is worth more
to a promising young city like Boise
than a whole regiment of backs;
ana one of the lSicl1ers in Boise who op-
poses all the public enterprises pro-
posed by such men as the Captain and
abuse them when they can no longer
bleed them can do more to retard pro
gress in day than they, their children
and grand children can atone for in a
century. Captain De La Mar went to
Boise an enthusiast, to build a home
and build a city. He quit in disgust, in
less than half year, looslng consider
able upon his investments. That he is
still willing to put up more generously
than any remaining citizen to make his
remaining small holdings there more
valuable, shows that he still has some
hope OF the redemption OF the place
from the rule of moss backisEl.
