Camp Life.

The following dedicated to
our Idaho volunteers, illustrates
what they did while in camp:
Singing ballads, playing cards,
Eating sidemeat, and running
guards;
Marching, drilling, exercising,
Lying round philosophizing;
Digging bitches, learning tao
tics,
Standing guard until your
back aches,
Doing laundry, picking trash
up;
Cleaning camp and dishing
hash up;
Cooking pork and taking baths,
Eating hardtack, cleaning
paths;
Getting yellow as lanyard.
Wondering when we'll meet
the Spaniard;
Getting letters from our folks,
Snoozing, boozing, cracking
jokes;
Thinking of the folks-if not
them,
Then of sweethearts-those
who've got them;
Reading papers, reading books,
Fasting, grumbling, ''cussing'
cooks;
Writing letters, cleaning tents
up,
In our trousers sewing rents
up,
Stewing, growing, fretting,
fussing,
Kicking, bowling, working,
"cussing;''
Drilling like old-time cadets,
Smoking pipes and cigarettes
Telling stories, making wishes,
Splitting wood and washing
dishes;
Turning in at sound of 'taps, >
.Spouting verse and shooting
craps;
Wanting fight with Spain's
''conceitoS. ("
Getting it with big mosquitoes
Taking quinine, sick or well,
Castor oil or calomel;
Running out to see the "dum
mics"
Calling one another rum
mies;'
Getting up at 5 o'clock,
Wanting fight and hearing
talk;
Thinking we are not in clover
Wondering when the war'll bt
over.

of minerals, timber, climate and
water utilities, and out of it's free
resources are building the splen-
did empire that it was created to
be ? When one knows and di-
gests the knowledge that within
the entire state there are less
people than in one city like
Cleveland, Pittsburg or Buffalo
and less than within a ward in
in the city of New York, and
only half as many as died of
starvation in the island of Cuba
prior to American intervention,
then one may begin to appreci-
ate the advantages Of being a
citizen Of the state that has all
of it's growth yet to come. 1t is
doubtful whether any people, of
any age, in any portion of the
world ever enjoyed more or
greater blessings than the Ida
hoan of today finds lying around
him. Strange as it may seem,
observant outsiders seem to be
realizing these facts more fully
than Idahoans do. But it ought
to be a source of state pride and
of personal inspiration to know
how great Idaho is and how
grandly its destiny is unfolded.

Hbout Idaho.

Unless one remembers his
geography and diligently renews
his information the vastness of
Idaho is apt to be lost sight of.
Not only so but on the construc-
ton of new railway routes and
the opening of new sections of
country are changing artificial
lines and commercial alignments
so completely as to amaze one
after a lapse of a few years. To
begin with, Idaho is larger than
all of the New England states
combined, and twice as large as
the empire state of New York.
1t is twice as large as Cuba and
almost as large as the kingdom
of Italy with its 100000 popu-
lation. So much for its geogra-
phical extent.
In the annual value of its min
eral output alone, Idaho produc-
es more than the entire value of
all of the crops in most of the
older states. In addition there
is the wool crop and live stock
production, which. are each inn
portant industries occupying
territory equal to many eastern
states. There is still left the
wheat crop, which is almost as
valuable as the mineral yield, the
hay, barley and other small
grains, and the fruit, which has
become an exceedingly remuner-
ative industry in several portions
of the state.
Idaho has three of the great
rivers of the country which are
navigated during parts of the
year and all are susceptible Of
important navigation operations
under reasonable engineering
improvements. There is no 9th
er state and no other similar ex
tent of country on earth that has
so many great rivers flowing
through its borders.
The only great virgin forests
in the United States are in Ida
no. The only great virgin min
eral belt in the United States il
in Idaho.
And how many people have
settled up this state that is az
large as an old-world kingdom
how many people are there de
veloping and enjoying its wealth

The commissioners and sheriff
and in fact nearly all the county
officers of Shoshone county were
elected last fall on a populist
ticket-the county went strong
ly against the present state ad
ministration. There may not
have been political soreness on
the part of the state administra-
tion in this matter, we hope
there was not, but to an observ-
er, it looks as though there was.
Perhaps the commissioners of
Shoshone county have not dis
regarded the law to any greater
extent than many other boards
in the state, but that appears to
not have been the great cause of
their removal-they were oppos-
ed politically to the state admin
istration, which by the way, was
a very grave thing, indeed, and
they should have been ousted
for this alone, if for nothing
else. 1t is a sad thing for just
ice when public servants can be
be thrown into jail and removed
from Office on such trifing mat
ters. 1t was not shown that the
commissioners were IN any way
connected with the riots of April
29th. They are perhaps are in
in sympathy with the strikers,
but that is natural, for they are
laboring men themselves, and of
course desire to see labor paid q
fair compensation, but they were
elected to their respective Offices
by the Miners Union-that's
where the shoe pinches. There
is a good deal of law and a good
deal that is not law up in that
country. ALI law abiding citi-
zens of the commonwealth desire
to see the guilty ones punished
who were implicated in the TAX
ing of life and the destruction OF
property on the 29th of April,
but to persecute innocentparties
and the establishment of a rule Of
tyranny, such as now exists il
Shoshone county, and the infam
Gus permit system, which re
quires one to sign away his free
dom as an American citizen anC
his manhood and honor in order
to seek employment, is a direc
insult to our free institutions
The wrong has become SO grea
that leading men say it has be
come a National issue. 1t is sai(
that our Governor is a candidate
to succeed Senator Shoup a
United States Senator, but th'
labor vote of Idaho won't do ;
thing to him Wait till the
votes are counted. Then Stunt
will exclaim Ubi Iapslts ?

County Officers ousted.

WALLACE, Id. July 10.-Judge
Stewart this morning rendered
Judgment in favor of the prose
cution in the removal case
against the commissioners and
Sheriff Young. All four officers
are removed from office.
This was the day for the regu-
lar meeting of the board of com
missioners. The ousted board
met and adjourned until tomor-
row.
In view of the fact that they
elected to appeal>and ask for a
supersedeas, they have been
taken into custody. It is a ques-
ton what the effect of the super
sedeas will be and the state does
not propose to permit these men
to interfere by attempting to
transact business.
Judge Stewart at the opening
of court this morning read his
opinion in the removal cases
against the county commission
ers and sheriff, sustaining the
position of the prosecution and
directing that DEGREES be prepar-
ed dismissing them from Office.
The defense gave notice of an
appeal and asked that super
sedeas issued.
The ousted commissioners are
Moses S. Simmons, William r.
Stimson and William Boyle,
while James D. Young is the
man who loses the position of
sheriff. Every allegation against
Young is sustained and all but
two against the commissioners.
The two points on which the
state is overruled are in connec-
ton with removal of the county
seat, the court holding that it
was necessary under the circum-
stances for the board to hold its
first meeting at Murray, the old
seat, the former board having
left all the records there, and
that it was not neglect of duty
to prepare the jury list there at
that lime.
On all other points, the court
finds the board flagrantly neglec-
ted its duty.
In the matter of failure to Sc
cure bonds from LIQUOR dealers,
the opinion says
This is most fragrant viola
ton of official duty. 1t would
seem that the commissioners, in
respect to this matter. have ut
terly disregarded and set al
naught the provisions of the
statutes. They have approved
rule of action unauthorized by
J any statute of the state, and il
such conduct of the commission
; ers was not a result of ignorance
and incompetence it is the most
wilful neglect of duty that car

day brought in a verdict for plaintiff,

Last Friday afternoon a serious ac.
ident occurred which came very near
costing Greyson Laubender, son of
VIM. Laubender, his life. After school
was out he got on his bicycle and
started up the street leading east from
the school house. He overlook a team
which he started to pass, and in so do
ing he rode close along the side of the
wagon and team. When about even
with the team, the horse became
frightened and kicked, striking the
wheel lightly which unbalanced the
rider and caused him to turn his
wheel directly into the horse. The
horse kicked again striking the BOYS
head on the left side, just above the
ear. He was picked up in an uncon-
scious condition and carried into Geo.
Townsend's. A doctor was called and
upon examination it was found that
the skull was fractured. He was car
RED home on stretcher. 1t was
found that the fractured bones caused
depression on the brain. Doctor
Miller, assisted by Doctor jackson,
performed the critical operation of
raising the fractured parts from the
brain. He renamed Unconscious for
sixty hours. However he is getting
along as well as could be expected and
there is every hope for his recovery.
We learn there is no one blamed for
the accident. as the boy doubtless rode
to close to the team, not realizing that
there might be danger in so doing.
