Confusion rs still a prominent
feature of fusion politics in Idaho.
The big political doctors of the ma
ton held post norton consulta-
ton after the Pocatello suicide and
the mangled political party OF
multiples is still an anatomical
study. 1t has been positively de-
cided that popufist candidates
must be engrafted into the ticket
for congress, for state auditor and
mine inspector. 1t was not de
cided at the Chicago conference
whether or not the electoral ticket
can be saved without amputation.
The populists insist that it is rot
ten, while the democrats are con-
fused and do not know what TO
say.

The low stage Of water in Snake

The low stage Of water in Snake
river, 1t is feared, will cause a SER
ious interruption in traffic at this
place and more particularly at
points not reached by railroads.
All the loss occasioned by this in.
terruption is chargeable to the neg.
lect Of the company operating the
traffic lines. The great trade of
these points has been built up
gradually. 1t has been apparent
for some time past that this con-
di,ion would come. The transport.
alton line that permits a block
ade of commerce under such con-
ditions neglects the duty it owes to
the community. This condition
could have been met by providing
good, strong, small boats for
such emergencies. The constant
neglect of the upper river is in the
same line. The boats that would re-
lieve the fruit growers, farmers and
merchants in this emergency would
find employment at all times on
the different sections of the river.
The o. X. & N. road should no,
try to hold a territory, which /,
does not accommodate.

While disappointment has been
reported from many quarters over
the yield Of the harvest, the re-
turns from Lewiston valley are
above and better than the farm
ers' estimates made in advance.
The Tammany district has yielded
an average Of over 80 bushels and
the later crops of the reservation
are sustaining the high hopes OF
the farmers. The grade of our
wheat is better than ever before
The buyers have been Offering a
premium of 10 per cent. for the
bluestem variety of wheat of this
district. The Importance of our
district, which includes the great
reservation wheat belt, is exem-
plified by this big yield on an off
year and this high grade when
other districts report foul and
shriyelled product.

The politician goes forth seek
ing whom he may deceive.


1t is significant fact that very
few, if any, of the partisan papers
carry the fusion ticket at the head
Of their columns. The ticket seems
to have been put out as bluff.
The only nomination made by the
fusion convention that seems to be
a permanent act was that of Fred
Dubois. The ex-senator seems to
have worked his scheme so hard
in the face of the state administra-
ton that the convention did not
have much vitality lett. The
party papers are so confused that
the ticket is kept in the back
ground, while the people wait for
the decree OF the national bosses.
