pective downfall of the two little
Boer republics. But the end is not
yet even if the tories have begun
gloating.

Charles Sweeney has given out
that his company will build wa
gon road tc Badger distance Of ten
miles, and will transport their con
centrates from there to the nearest
railroad point which is Stuart or

The Heartberg brothers contem-
plate going tc California at an early
date, to make that their home. We
do not like to lose such enterprising,
upright citizens who have built up
one of the hrest home ranches IN
Idaho county.
There is steady decline in prices
all along the line, The bottom is
dropping out of every industry.
Many strikes are i'll progress, and
there is loss of human life. The
whole situation seems to be out of
joint. Who is to blame?

Vol. 2 No. /, of the Register, pub
lished at Cul De Sac, Magnolia P.
o. Nezperce county, has made its
first appearance on our table. The
only real bad feature aboutit is the
name of the hamlet where it is dom
iciled. That would be fatal to any
ordinary enterprise. We hope that
the Register will out iye the name
of its location.
The railroads that have been sur
veying on the Prairie have stated
emph atically that they will not
build on the located surveys this
year. The Pacific q Idaho North
ern will, no doubt, be the first to
get on top of the Prairie as they are
free from any entangling alliances
with other roads. and the location
of smelter at Pollock would seem
! to indicate that the road will soon
he built to that point.
