The ship subsidy steal b one Of
the jobs now before cong ress that
is to be accomplished at this scs-
sion. This is u bill to give Mark
Hanna and other million ire ship
builders o bonus of millioh s of dol
lars out OF the United Sta ties treas
ury for the building of $ hips. In
other words, it is paying out pub
lie money to help favored private
individuals in their busi ness. Of
course congress has no IN pre- right
to use public funds to pro mote the
ship building business than it
has to appropriate public funds to
promote wheat raising or hog
breeding or mining or a my other
private industry. But under an
imperial government anything can
be done that the rulers want to do.
We no longer have a constitution
to place a limit on the power Of
the administration and congress
Might makes right. That is the
Hanna way Of governing and that
is what the people voted for last
November. There you are, and
what are you going to do about it?

More Railroad Talk.

Another railway rumor is be-
coming persistent. This is sup
posed to he a Southern Pacific
project to open the Harvey Valley,
Ore, country, as well as the rich
mineral and timber fields in this
state, enroute to Butte, Mont.
which is the objective point of the
new line.
For some time past, it is stated,
there has been someone connected
with this railway through that
section Of Oregon, having Just
completed his efforts as far as
Vale. At that place the citizens
and farmers Of the surrounding
country have agreed to build ali
the grade from Vale to Nyssa
where the road is to enter this
state.
Though supposed to be KEEP,
secret, the matter has SO leaked
tout that the route is given in q

3. r. Young Pardoned d.

The present board of pardons
held it's final meeting Sat rday.
The final session was product We of
considerable joy for two men con-
fined in the state penitentiary,
Bartlett r. Young and W. b.
McGraw. Rigley was pardo ned,
the order taking effect Immediately.
He was sent to the penitentiary
from Idaho county in November,
1899, for eighteen months for
assault with revolver on d man
named Rice at Grangeville.
w. B. McGraw was sent up
from Latah county for fifteen years
for rape, being received at the
penitentiary January 10, 1900.
The board committed his sentence
SO he will serve but four years.
The application of Mrs. Josie
Kensler was rejected. Mrs. Ken
sler is serving "a life sentence for
the murder of her husband, John
Kensler, in Gilmore county, having
been sent up in April, 1897.

general way. 1t is stated the
road will start at the town Of
Montague, CAL, on the Southern
Pacific, thence by klamath Lake,
Oregon, Warner Lake, coming
down the Malheur river to Vale,
and thence into Idaho at Nyssa.
From here it will take a route
across country through the Lolo
pass and into Butte.
Nothing whatever is said in
reference to building, surveys, etc. !,
but just the bare fact that the line
is to go in along the route stated.
1t would undoubtedly open up
rich section of country-rich in
all those things making q railway
feasible. If it is the fact that the
Southern Pacific intends building
such a route there would be little
question as to the beginning Of
operations at an early date. 1t has
been the opinion that this was, from
Nyssa to Butte, at least, the route
desired by the Burlington. There
is we'll known rivalry among
railroads Of the west as to the
Idaho territory. 1t is looked upon
as field with almost limitless
resources and possibilities, and
where railroad would pay in
almost whatever direction it was
built. This line. as outlined,
would have an enormous field
from which to draw patronage and
profit. That portion Of Oregon
through which it would pass is
especially undeveloped. In Idaho
all are familiar with the conditions
that railways are only necessary
to the opening Of enormous fields
of mineral, timber and grazing
lands, with also much good agri-
cultural land. Whatever railroad
does reach that territory first, it is
generally commended, will have a
very profitable business from the
moment of the running Of the
first train.-BOise Statesman.

Hump Claims Relocated

A special to the Lewiston Tri-
bune from Buffalo Hump dated
January /, says:
The cavalier speeds the moments
Of the parting year with sounds Of
dance and gaiety, and the serious
New Highlander watches the New
Year in with meeting for prayer;
but it is the Buffalo Humper who
turns the time between the pass
ing of the old and the coming
of the new to practical account.
Last night at IL O'Clock all claims
over year old on which the
annual assessment work had not
been done were open to relocation,
and as that time approached ones
and twos could be seen hurrying
out to a close tree armed with q
notice Of location ready written.
The night was clear moonlight and
beautiful, but none seemed to care
to linger about the wildcat" he
had jumped, the keen wind and q
20 degree below zero temperature
speedily convincing one that any
claim would be safe. The South
America group, the Blue Buck,
Oxford and Monte Cristo are few
of the claims relocated.
Cupid. it seems, is not daunted
by having to travel on skeys in
stead of wings, for last evening
Mr.. Ben Bowlder was united in
marriage to the daughter of DR..
and Mrs. Quivey at their residence.
This is the first marriage at the
Hump and the couple have the
best wishes of the entire camp.
An informal reception was tend
cred to all residents of the town
by DIR. and Mrs. Quivey to-day in
honor of the event.

A Colonial Arm v,

Army officers are discussing the
proposition for colonial army.
"The proposition for d colonial
army" said Lieutenant-General
Miles, 'if deported prope rly would
seem to have advantages The
idea is not entirely new one, as
our present volunteer force of
5000 men was enlisted exclusive
ly for service in the Philippines,
and the pending army organization
but provides for an increase in the
army at the presidents discretion,
to meet the present emergency in
the islands or any other incident
that may arise. 1t seemed, how
ever, that the trouble in the Phil
ippines was not of as temporary a
character as has been predicted.
In view OF this it might De well to
model an army somew hat after
England's Indian army, where the
natives Of India are elisted and
made to do excellent police and
campaign work."
Adjutant- General Corbin pointed
out that the preparations for a
colonial army are in accordance
with set of plans made ont by
the war department.
He says: "a man will be en-
listed for service in any part of the
country or in any one OF our de-
tendencies he may select. If he
desires to serve in the Philippines
he will be enlisted for regiment
serving there; if for Cuba, for a
regiment serving in Cuba; if for
New York harbor, for a regiment
serving at Governors island or
Fort Hamilton. The department
will be glad to discharge an en-
listed soldier after his enlistment
has expired in the Philippines, if
he so wishes, and in order that he
may be in position financially to
engage in business will pay to him
the sum which would be required
to defray his transportation and
mess expenses to the Uni ted States.
Arizona and New Mexico were
settled by men discharged from the
army in those territories after
their enlistments had ex pired.n

It's Progress During 1900 has
Been a Wonder.
Idaho county has been wonder
during 1900 it has proven even
more than a wonder. There have
here been some Of the most phe-
nolnenal strikes of many years
in the camps of Buffalo Hump,
Dixie, Florence, Warren, New
some, Thunder mountain-indeed
throughout the entire county there
have been many finds OF rich ore
in place and in permanent body,
fully justifying the capital inv sted
for their development. 1t en-
braces an immense area, the larg-
est county in the state. just over
the line from Washington county
is what is known as the Rapid
River district, with postoffice at
Pollock, where development has
been large for number of years,
but az yet no considerable output;
1900 saw the installation Of a
custom milling plant, which gave
something Of an output. A COM
plete cyanide plant was also
purchased and is now enroate to
the Walsh mine, where is a great
body OF gold ore averaging above
$50 per ton. This property prob
ably has the most complete de-
velopment of the district, though
there are many more with excel
lent showings. Then one finds
Warrens. This was q prominent
placer camp in the early days, and
many years ago some great quartz
properties were discovered and
these have since had cont nuous
development. The Little Gi ant is
one of the famous mines Of the
state, having had a large pr oduc-
ton for four years; yet during the
past season o vein Of IS, 900 per ton
ore was discovered in this mine,
something entirely new To the
owners. A large addition has
been made to the milling plant on
this property. At Dixie, but a
short distance from Warren, a 10
stamp mill has been installed,
while but little farther on there
have been taken in two dredging
plants to work the extensive
placer beds impossible to operate
by other means. The Thunder
Noun tain section has been taken
over by capital, and it is no W be-
ing developed with great su ccess.

Ca NADIA Wants independence.

For some time past there has
been some discussion. about the
doings OF the Independence club Of
Montreal, but the managers Of the
new movement did not appear to
judge the time opportune foi
appealing to the public.
A good deal of interest was
added to the movement by the fact
that during the Paris exposition a
large number of young men APP
peared in Paris wearing "inde-
pendence of Canada buttons and
an attempt was made to connect
j. /. Tarte and j. Y. Perrault,
the Canadian commissioners, with
the movement because a num-
Der of buttons were among
the spoils secured from men who
burglarized Perrault's house.
Perrault explained, however, that
these buttons were about fifteen
years old and he had changed his
mind since then. Now the Can
adam Independence league has
issued its platform and consti tn ton
but declines to publish it's list OF
officers and members. The con-
stitution consists OF eighteen
clauses of which the first eight
are:
/. Dissolution of the colonial
relation and declaration of indie
pendence.
2. New federation to be known
as the United States of Canada.
3. Provinces to become states
with sovereign pc wer.
4. Federal authority to hav.
only such powers as shall be dele.
gated to it by the sovereign
states.
5. No power shall be delegated
to the federal authority except
with the assent of the majority OF
delegates of each of the sovereign
states convened in national
assembly.
6. Creation of state militia
under command OF n federal
officer.
7. Universal suffrage.
s. The great highways and
services (railways, canals, tele
graphs, etc. to be public prop.
erty.
Others deal with changes in law,
