The Fair at Grangeville, was
largely attended by our citizens
and farmers, who were, all of them.
outspoken in their appreciation Of
the efforts Of the managers of the
Fair in giving to the people of the
Prairie an exposition of its wonder
full resources, recording our adj
vancement. broadening and enlight-
ening the daily life OF the people
and opening up a storehouse Of in
formation to all who attended.
Every fair of this kind, great or
small. has helped to some onward
step. Comparison Of Ideas is edu-
cational, and instructs the brain
and hand of man. The friendly
rivalry is spur to Improvement;
without it we would cling to the
clumsy, antiquated processes of
farming and methods Of business of
long ago, and there would be no
advancement. The prime movers,
who inaugurated the Grangeville
Street Fair are to be congratulated
on their initial efforts, and should
receive the hearty support Of all
progressive residents, and we hope
from it may come, more essential
than the exhibits, the relations OF
mutual respect, confidence, mad
friendship that will deepen and en-
dure, and a higher endeavor to all
departments of human activity on

THE p & i. N. TROUBLE.

That is bad news which comes to
us from Washington county con-
corning the suspension of railroad
operations by the Pacific u Idaho
Northern railroad. A good many
good people in this part OF the state
had been quietly hoping that the
extension of that road to . connec-
ton with the Northern Pacific ter
minal at Sites would soon be ac-
complished, thus uniting the two
hitherto remote sections of ldaho.
Doubtless the undertaking was too
much for Mr.. Hall to accomplish
sineIe handed. 1t is well known
that the money market in wall
street is in very shaky and uncer-
tain condition. Notwithstanding all
the living reports of the so-called
commercial agencies that every
thing is lovely and the goose hangs
high. The fact is that financiers
are looking for panic at any hour
of any day, and it has only been
prevented thus far by the action OF
the United States treasurer in buy
ing in bonds at prices running from
90 to 80 per cent. above their face
value, and thus putting that much
money into circulation to save the
market. 1t is reported tnat Mr.
Hall is practically bankrupted BY
his railroad operations in Washing
tan county. He deserves a better
fate, for he has shown vast. enter
prise and good management in thu
conduct of the mileage already
built, and it was generally hoped
that under such an experience rail
road manager as p. ?. Shelby thu
road would speedily become a prof
liable enterprise. Mr.. Hall is re
ported to have started in with more
than million dollars, accumulated
in the tariff-protected lumber in
dustry in Michigan, and that hi
attention was attracted to the for
ests, fields and mines of Washing
ton county, and he embarked in tn
construction Of the p. & l. N. roat
with the ultimate intention of ex
tending the road into the.SeveI
Devils, and thence into Cana
Prairie. Just what other influen
ces were brought to bear detrimen
tai to Mr.. Hall we have yet to fin
out. But it is likely that riva
railroads and smelling interest
were antagonized by the threatene
operations Of Mr.. Hall, whic
would have materially interiors
with the actions of the copper an
smelling trusts. The trusts are
living and vital issue, and this ir
stance we have an illustration (
their power brought directly HON
to MS in our own state. just ho'
far-reaching the consequences of til
suspension will be is at present pr
mature to anticipate.

ton is as sensitive TO Islander as the
good name Of pure woman. 1t is
then that he approaches the buyer
with the statement that he hopes
the seller will do we'll in letting 90
of the property for he could do
nothing with it himself, on account
of reasons known only to those on
the inside. With language of this
type, covert insinuations that may
mean little or much, he frightens
capital into indefinite delay and
finally perhaps succeeds in preven-
ting the deal. Thus loss is in
hicted upon the seller who lacks
the money to work the property
upon the buyer, who misses the OPP
portunity Of lifetime to quadruple
his wealth, and upon the commun-
ity that looses the Industrial value
OF producing mine. The back
capper is actuated by one or two
motives-the hope that he can de-
fleet capital from its avowed pur-
pose into channels more profitable
to himself, or to inhict injury upon
the would-be seller. The first
move he tries to justify on business
grounds; the second he never ac-
knowledges. Human experience
has shown over and over again,
that no man ever added a substan-
tial prop to his own business inter
ests by pulling down those Of his
fellow man; and to inflict loss upon
others, to the detriment OF the com
munity, is like derailing Il passen-
ger train to get even with the con.
ductor. There are a few mining
districts in this state where the
deadly backcapper has not operated
with success. Many districts have
surrendered to the virus Of the
hoodoo and gone into permanent
retirement. While the wild-cattel
is busy trying to swindle the would
be investor, the backcapper is equ
ally busy, in a more quiet way try
ing to prevent the sale OF desirable
properties. Each is in his owl
way a pest. Both are enemies t.
the communities in which they op
crate and should become the targets
for popular disapproval. Witt
higher standards in the mining in
dnstry the wildcatter and the back
capper will be forced out of tn
field, and the waters Of oblivion
will close in over the tribe, for lik'
Othello, their occupation will b
gone. Western Mining World.

ings in various sections Of the
country. Judge Lynch in the past
10 months has sentenced more than
100 men to death in various ways
for various crimes, and they have
