The convention was called to
order Wednesday morning by F.
R. Gooding, chairman Of the State
committee. He made strong adj
dress, setting forth the condition OF
the party in all sections OF the
State. Mr.. Gooding announced
that the committee had recon-
mended the selection of Lyttleton
Price Of Blaine for temporary
chairmen and VIII H. Gibson of
Fremont for temporary secretary.
The nominations were ratified by
the convention an Mr. Price made |
n stirring address on taking the
chair. After the appointment OF
the usual committees, one from
each county, the convention took .
recess until o'clock.
When the convention reconvened
the time was filled in with speeches.
The committee on credentials
made its report, also that on per-
manent organization. Col. t. R.
Hamer OF Fremont was named for
permanent chairman and A. S.
Harry of Idaho county for secretary.
Col. Hamer made a ringing address
that aroused much enthusiasm.
The republican state convention
closed at Boise last Thursday
afternoon, after two days of de-
liberation. and of the ticket we do
not think anything but good words
can be said, as all candidates come
before the convention with a clean :
record both from a personal and !
political point of view. Men with 4

FROM SEC. M'FARLAND-
a letter from Thomas McFa

lane, secretary of the American
Aberdeen Angus Association, to
Joseph Tyson, the former says:
"Thank you for sending me your
letter from st. Louis. A line in our
Chicago paper had told me of Mr..
Dickinson's death, with no particulars.
l was shocked to hear of his death,
"Few men that [ have known have
shown more business acuteness than
Mr.. Dickinson. To us he has been a
most valuable man-We shall greatly
miss him. But ah, how must his own
miss his wise guidance and counsel.
He was a bulwark in himself.
II thought of his Gear daughter.
What a load she must have carried, all
alone with himl among sstrangers. I
do wish you would. SWrite me fully
about the circumstances attending his
last days and the particulars about the
operation, and the condition in which
the physicians found him.

THESE WILLsWIN.

The last day for fling petitions to
secure places on the ticket for the
city election, which is TO be held
next Tuesday, was last Saturday,
Recorder Johnson holdingshis office
open until midnight for the recep-
ton of petitions.
None came ein, however, after noon
that day. Fl. NJ. Aune will have no
opposition for reelection to the
mayors Office. A. r.. A. Laudon,
likewise, has lone race for the city
recordership and II. A. Baldwin
goes in for city treasurer without
any opposition. For police Judge
JOS. Chadderdon and ii. D. Baldwin
are contestants, and the only con-
testants on the ticket.
In the first ward j. A. Englehart
will be the alderman to succeed J..
H. Melges and E. a. Pease will be
the alderman from. the second. The
election will, asa result, be a very
quiet affair.

cession slowly moved towarsp
the last resting place. The dirge
was continuously played during the
long march to the grave and during
the lowering of the casket. The
Grand Lodge funeral services were
read by Grand Master Ives, the
Grand Honors we're given to the
deceased, and prayer by Rev.
Mitchell closed the services. The
band escorted the Lodge and family
back to the home of the deceased
and to the Masonic Hall, where the
Grand Lodge was closed and the
funeral services brought to an end.
During the time from l:3O to $3.50
all Redwood Falls business houses
were closed, out of respect to the
former mayor and citizen, in accord
ance with the proclamation Of May
or Aune. So complete was the
close down that the pumping ma
chinery at the power house, erected
and equipped during Mr., Dickin
sons administration, ceased its
work during the hours of the funer-
al.
Mr.. Dickinson was operated upon
on Sunday afternoon, Dec. 22d, DR..
Jelks deciding that it was neces-
sary to remove the enlarged pros
tate. He found the capsule involved
with the postate, but removed the
gland successfully. The operation
required nearly two hours, and at
the termination Mr.. Dickinson re
covered consciousness and spoke to
the physicians and nurses. But he
soon commenced to sink. he being
too old to stand the shock Of the op-
GRAFTON, and shortly afterwards had
fainting spell.
DR.. Jelks believes that nothing
else could have been done for him
and that the operation was the only
chance OF prolonging life, from which
he never rallied Miss Dickinson
was outside of the operating room,
and when the fainting spell came on
she was called in, but her father
never seemed osrecognize5her, and
passed away about ten or fifteen
minutes later.

TAXING MINES.

As indicated in this column last
week the Colorado legislature has
settled the vexed question Of mine
taxation for The present. The law
fixes the sum for assessing produc-
ing mines at sum not to exceed
the net product for the preceding
year, and for non producing mines
at % per cent. of the gross output
of the lowest producing mine in
the county. This new law as
adopted is compromise, and like
all compromises, is very weak
and palpably unjust arrangement.
When the matter came up there
was bitter fight over the subject
between the granger and the
"miner.' 1t is sell-evident that
the new law is faulty and ambigu-
GUS, and it is certain that the mat
ter of taxation Of mining properties
and output OF minerals in Colorado
is not permanently settled.
Ill-advised demagogues in the
mining states who pander to the
agricultural element are always
precipitating these ill-considered

between the grangers and
As a matter of fact there
is no occasion for controversy, as
both are essential to the welfare
and prosperity of the state. The
old conflict in California resulted
in closing down the placer mines
and, by reducing the production Of
gold, created the era of falling
prices from which farmer and miner
alike suffered from 1873 to 1899,
when the discoveries of new gold
fields in Alaska and the Transvaal
infused anew the breath of life into
the stagnant blood Of the whole
world and created the present pc
Rod of prosperity, which may be
counted on to continue as long as
the gold fields maintain their pres.
emit unprecedented production. Al
the FREE PRESS has frequently re
marked: 1t is immaterial to tho
prosperity Of the country whether
our circulating medium is all golt
or all silver, or both, as long al
we have enough primary money
with which to carry on our ever,
day business.
| Meanwhile, the subject OF tin
taxation of mining property is SUR
to engage the attention of the mex
Idaho legislature, and those VIII
have legislative aspirations shoul'
begin to give the subject the atten
I, ton its Importance deserves.

The Weiser Signal jubilates at
the collapse of the state bridge
across Salmon river as giving the
Grangeville- Warren gateway to
Thunder Mountain a black eye.
1t is true that the state bridge has
collapsed, but in spite of this de-
plorable fact the Grangeville-W War
rem gateway is still the easiest,
shortest and best way to Thunder
Mountain, and it is incom arably
superior to the Weiser- Council
route. On the Grangeviile- Warren
gateway we do not have to ford the
quicksands of the raging Payette
river sixteen times; neither have
we any such impossible stretch of
morass as the squaw meadows, nor
any such elevated summit as that

kETCHUM GETS 1T.

The postoflice department is adj
vertising for bids for carrying the
mail for the term from July /,
1902, to June 80, 1906, from
Ketchum to Roosevelt new Office
and Thunder Mountain new Of
fice), $50 miles and back; bids to
state frequency of trips and time
schedule, and to include the de-
posting of mail into mail boxes
along the route; the schedule OF
running time to be stated and sub
ject to change as the postmaster
general may prescribe.
Bids will also be received for IA
route from Idaho City to Roose-
Welt and Thunder Mountain,
about $50 miles and back, bids to
state frequency of trip and time
schedule. Only one of the above
routes will be established. Bond
required with bid for either route,
$500.
1t will be noticed that the dis
lance from Idaho City to Roose-
welt is placed at $50 miles, which
falls short Of the actual distance
by at least 80 miles. Just what
pull our southern neighbors had
with the department is not known.
but it is patent To all that undue
influence, not to say downright
Misrepresentation was used some
where. The matter is of no par
ticular Importance, as the bulk
of the mail will brought out by
private carriers to Warren anyhow
At the same time the department.
should at least have fulfilled it's
promise to send special agent out
to investigate the merits of the
several other routes, particularly
those from the north. The letting
of the contract over southern
route is of importance only in de-
priving the people, of the new camp
of quick communication with the
county seat; but it is not too late
to remedy the defect. During the
summer the people directly inter
ested will no doubt petition for
the establishment of a route from
Roosevelt to Warren, and then
the Grangeville people can also
petition for the establishment of
the old service between Florence
and Resort, aud thus the desired
end of quick communication be-
tween Thunder Mountain and and
the county seat OF Idaho county
will be consummated.
