In the senate yesterday a vigorous
attack was made upon that portion of
the army reorganization bill which
confers upon the president discretion
AIRY power to increase the strength of
the army to- the maximum limit fixed
by the bill. Mr.. Bacon. of Georgia.
began the attack, and Mr.. piatt. OF
Connecticut, replying. maintained that
discretionary power ought to be cor
ferred upon the president. and en-
pressed astonishment that anybody
should entertain Il fear THAT the power
ever would be abused. Mr.. Bacon de-
clsred he would rather see his party
condemned to universal and never
ending Punishment from political pow
er than to see such authority placed in
the hands Of the president.
An amendment opening the way to
the appointment Of volunteer officers
to grades as high az that of captain
in the regular establishment was
adopted.
At the conclusion OF the reading of
the measure Mr.. Pettus of Alabama
objected to it's further consideration
and IL went over. A house bill provid-
ing for the holding Of circuit and dis
courts in the eastern district of
Arkansas was reported f~avorably from
the judiciary committee and passed.

road to Camas Prairie. Denver il
now located Is miles from present
terminus Of Northern Pacific NJ
Sites, and with the short link
necessary to complete the road
to the Prairie, with her sister
towns, she expects q share Of the
great prosperity that will follow.
Denver has all the various lines
OF business characteristic of y pro-
gressive and prosperous county,
being represented by three large
general merchandise stores, one
furniture store, one drug store. one
saloon, two hotels, three livery
stables and -four mill of 90 bbls
capacity, and there are openings
for most any kind Of business.
The churches are we'll repre-
sented here; there are the Metho-
dist, Presbyterian. Christian and
Lutheran. The Presbyterians oc-
cupy a $500 building, the Chris
tian and Lutheran, also, have
their own building.
The church attendance and
membership is increasing rapidly.
The pastors are cordial, earnest,
consecrated men, averaging with
the rest of the profession in other
parts of the state.
The secret orderes are, also,
represented by three flourishing
societies. The 1. o. o. F., Mod
ern Woodman of America and
Artisans having large member

Denver's Public School a $500
building is the pride of the town.
A nine months term of school ie
held under an able corps OF
teachers, and by virtue Of location
will eventually become a great edu-
catiOnal center.
The present population of the
town as a whole is thrifty, intelli-
gent and moral, and our farmers
make the best of neighbors.
Nothing is more indicative OF
the intelligence and advanced CIV
ilization of community than its
interest in popular education and
the facilities which it has provided
for communicating knowledge tc
the masses. Our people as a
whole, measured by this standard,
enjoy an enviable position. The
general disposition of the average
Idahoan is that you will find
more true Americanism in this
far western country than any east
ern community. You find here nc

evidences of paternalism. indie
pendence of thought and action is
every mans recognized heritage.
The fortunate owner of q bank
does not pretend to dominate
other mems ideas, and the chance
owner of brewery or pork pack
ing establishment has no greater
claims to gentle birth or social
rank than the less wealthy mining
engineer or rancher, whose skill
compels mother earth to yield
forth her riches. The true inter-
probation of the idea of equality
as used in the Declaration of In
dependence is found only in the
west. The broad valleys and
rugged mountains seem to impart
to the people who live among
them their characteristics, for they
are liberal, broad-guaged and high
minded. One is received in the
west, not as an intruder, but as
a welcome sharer in the limitless
bounties of nature which are at
every mans feet.

IDAHO'S GREAT DEVELOPMENT.

An eastern paper wrote Cover
nor Hunt recently, asking him to
give it an article on Idaho, it's re-
sources, advantages, etc., It re-
stricted him to less than one
thousand words, so that he had
little chance to say what he could.
But the governor is an enthusiast
tic Idahoan, SO he had little
trouble in saying enough in SO
meager space to make people of the
east want to learn more. The fol-
lowing is what he wrote:
stThe student of nomenclature
now accepts as an established fact
that the word "IdahO'' is taken
from the beautiful Indian word
"Edaohe," and signifies ssGem of
the Mountains" And such it is
to the residents of the state who
have learned to love it's marvel
GUS climate, it's pure mountain air
and who believe in it's future de-
velopment and growth.
"When you enter the state up
on its southern fringe of desert,
barren and desolate to the eye, but
rich as the soil of Egypt when
covered with ater for irrigation,
from thence on north to the British
line, the eye meets one continuing
change Of topography; all norm a
attitudes and changes of soil ar,
encountered, and the climate is Al
varied as the State of California.

plies fifty per cent. of the lead Of
the United States. Outside of that
district, gold, both placer and
quartz, copper and silver mines
can be found in operation in al

Prairie.
The farming lands on Camas
Prairie are Of the very richest,
exactly the same quality as the
famous Potlatch and Palouse
countries. Camas Prairie has an
advantage, being more level Ind
easier farned. The price Of land
here at present is from $500 to
$500 per acre. The price in
the Palonse country is $25. 90 to
$4,000 per acre. With railroad
transportation Camas Prairie land
will surely advance in price rs it
more than equals land in the Pa
louise country, bring equally pro-
ductive, more level and a better
climate.
Homeseekers If you want a
good farm, comfortable home in
a healthy, delightful climate now
is the time to invest on Camas
Prairie. There is no need of irri-
cation or rain makers, as ample
moisture never fails to insure
abu ndant crops, and the natural
seepage of the soil with it's wond-
erful subsoil makes a failure i'm

This town is small, but is by no
means unimportant in the history
of Idaho Co. 1t ia situated at the
foot of Cottonwood butte in the
finest timber belt accessible by
Camas Prairie.
Several different saw mills are
located in this vicinity and every
one is doing fair business, besides
a shingle mill at Keuterville. The
timber is great resource to this
part of the county and will become
more important as the surround
ing country grows.
The country is fairly well settled
SO far as representation of farm
ing interests is concerned, the
German population predominating.
Farming is diversified. All
cereals are grown here that grows
on the Prairie and cattle, sheep
and hog raising constitutes q large
item in her resources. The sur
rounding country, also, offers a
good field for the prospector and
the time may come that Reuter-
vile will be q large beneficiary
from this source.
There is a school here; the Ger
man-Catholic church and parson-
age help to adorn the village. The
hotel building is good structure;
there are two store buildings with
warehouses, q blacksmith shop,
and q number of private residences
Altogether the place has future
before it. What is needed is few
pushers to come along and help to
build it up. The Northern Poetic

and then farming will become more
