Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1900-06-22

The EXAMINER scribe arrived home
from Moscow last Sunday, after .
two weeks absence. One who has
never had occasion to visit the north
part of Idaho, from Montpelier,
will be surprised to learn, that it is
necessary to travel $40 miles by
rail to get to the University city,
and that to reach the north bound
airy of Idaho, further journey of
some two hundred miles is necessary
OF course, as the crow flies, one
could reach it in half the distance
or nearly SO, but by rail as the roads
now run, it requires journey of
nearly one thousand miles for q
Montpelierite to reach the northern
boundary.
The road down Snake River, from
Weiser to Lewiston, will shorten
this distance couple of hundred
miles or SO, but still it will be a
long trip to go from one end of the
state to the other.

is not so plentiful, and timber quite
a distance from the land that the
Mormon colonixers have purchased.
Grass is very scarce, where there is
water, and a great deal more plenti-
full where there is no water. Conse-
quently travellers have to make a
great distance some days and only
short distance other days to enable
them to have feed and water togcth-
er. They estimate that all those
who are to work on the canal, who
have teams, will soon be compelled
to buy hay for their horses. It is,
however, quite cheap and plentiful
but they apprehend a raise as soon
as those who have hay to sell learn
the conditions.
A railroad is building through
the basin which is headed for Red

ment that he believed Marion county
would give Mckinley a majority of from

the county ticket would be elected by
majority of about $500. 1t was estimated
that Representative Overstreet would no.
run far behind the presidential ticket
Chairman Akin said there was no doubt
that the Democrats made the most des-
perate attempts to work their schemes
yesterday. one of the worst of which was
the attempted colonization of colored
voters Notwithstanding this, he said, the
Democracy was badly whipped In the
county.
The returns show substantial gains In
many parts OF the city and county. One OF
the city precincts showing the heaviest
gain was in Captain English's precinct
