CHANGING CONDITIONS.
Equality of Opportunity
Thing OF the Past.

Senator Washburn of Min
nesota, in recent interview
said: "The present situation,
to the good citizen, the good
republican and the man who
loves his country, is really
alarming, and it is more large
ly owing to the rapid forma.
ton of what is called the trust
than to any other agency.
First, this trust craze has
changed the whole nature Of
things.
"When | was a young man
81 am now 68-I had the
world before me, and there
was an absolutely fair field be.
fore me. Take all of our
most successful business men
of today and their experiences
were like mine. They enter.
ed the race without handi.
cap, and their grit and capac.
ity won. Now this building
up of trusts puts a stop to fair
and equal opportunities for the
young men of today. The
young man just out of college
has no opening, as a rule. He
cannot begin business on his
own account against organic
ed capital. He must Join the
procession. He must content
himself with being a mere
clerk, and the chances are that
he will never get any further,
because there are so many in
his class. This makes the sit.
uation a serious one, and | am
sorry for the young man of to.
day. He comes out of school
bright, eager and enterprising
and runs against economic con.
ditions that are too much for
him. | can't help feeling that
if he had the same chance I
had when | was youno man
it would be a great thing for
him. He hasn't got it. I've
studied the situation and Pm
sure of what | am saying"

In calling the democratic

COMING Of THE SOLDIERS
They will Leave San Francisco To.
morrow, Paying their own Fares.

From Tuesdays daily
A letter received yesterday by
Sergeant VIM. S. Maxey from Ser.
geant F. N. Mckenzie, OF Co. G,
at San Francisco, discloses the fact
that che boys will come directly
home instead of going to Boise, a.
was heretofore believed to be their
course. The letter says:
"The State has arranged
for transportation to Boise,
but we, or most of us, have con-
cluded to pay our own way from
here, as the rates you got are not
much more than it would cost us
from Boise. This morning hear
that the free train will go via Port
land, but ! think we will pay our
own fare anyway, for we won't be
crowded near SO much. We in
tend to wait over and leave here on
the 8 o'clock, p. m, train on the
Goth. The free train leaves here
at the same hour, only on the 25th,
oo uu0U We WILL AL oil PIOUdWllUy,
be in Lewiston on the 29th."
Now it will be seen from the
above that the boys will leave to-
morrow, hence there is but little
time left for the committees to ar
range all matters for their recep-
ton, and it is a question Of getting
in and drilling and having every
thing in shape SO that nothing will
be left until the last minute, caus-
ing any irregularity.
There will be a meeting of all
at the Right Drug
store tonight at 8 O'Clock, and all
who are interested are requested to
be present. This is imperative, as
all the final arrangements can then
be effected. The committee, COM
posed of Mrs. Jones, Miss Green,
Miss Bundren and Dave Sassen-
bury, who had arranged to go to
Boise to meet the boys, have now
changed their plans.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT FIND
Discovery Of a Practical Gold Nine In
Asbestos Beds.

Not over six miles from the towl
of Harpster on the South fork O
the Clearwater, two. prospectorl
discovered last winter, so says Col
Bracket, chief of the Northern
Idaho Exploring Co., ledge Oh
rather a deposit Of great magni
tudc, Of asbestos. They immedi.
ately put up some stakes and no
tice in compliance with the law
In the spring Of this year these two
men became field workers in the
Illinois and Idaho Mining and De.
velopment Co., corporation Or
ganized under the laws of Idaho
for the purpose Of prospecting and
discovery and otherwise acquiring
title to mining property and de-
veioping the same.
1t is alleged that this company
has already acquired title by dis
covery to a number of valuable
prospects and properties in the
countries both north and south OF
the Salmon river in this county.
Its principal officers and st,ckhold-
ers are well known business men
of Chicago, Ill.
During the past season this COM
pany has located and perfected
title to five claims on the asbestos
field spoken of heretofore, which
five claims it is believed cover the
entire deposit. Considerable de-
velopment work has been effected,
in addition to the assessment
work. 1t is believed that there
are millions Of tons of asbestos in
this great deposit and one of it's adj
vantages is that it is near a
wagon road from Harpster, and
the Clearwater line of the North
ern Pacific Railway now in the
course of construction, passes in
its immediate vicinity.
There have been four men work.
ing on the asbestos field for
some time and last night one of
them came to Grangeville and in
making his report disclosed the
fact that a most important discov-
cry had been made in three veins
OF the deposit, in the shape of long
fibre asbestos, which is so valuable
in weaving various fire-proof fab
RIGS. A quantity of this fibre as
bestos will be at once shipped to
Chicago and specimens Of it will
also be placed on exhibition at the
Spokane Industrial Exposition. |
The company will at once proceed
TO further develope the property |
Ind proposes to next spring ex-
END the wagon road to the deposit |
md will then begin immediate
shipment Of this valuable mineral
% the Atlantic and Pacific coast
,enters, where it is manufactured
INTO many different articles and
compounds.
