A Truthful Description.

A Truthful Description.
Samuel Goldstone, the we'll
known Cotton wood merchant, is
10 Lewiston aud took occasion to
give the Tribune the following
concise interview on the outlook
for Idaho county this year.
Speaking Of the electric light and
power enterprise Mr.. Goldstone
said:
This project, which should
reach an early maturity, illustrates
the rapid and substantial develop
ment the interior country is now
experiencing. A few years ago .
project of this kind could only he
received as development of the
distant future and would not be
considered by the business men
Today it meets a present urgent
demand. The country has ex-
perienced transformation from
the conditions that prevailed for
90 many years. The fertile lands
are being appropriated; steadily
expanding market created; the
country has become popnlous and
the activities have increased ten
fold. There is confidence and
progress everywhere, and with
each day the demand for farm
lands, fruit lands, timber lands
and mineral lands grows more
pronounced. Still I believe that
the activities OF today are but q
mild representation Of what the
future has in store for this country.
It's a great region that extends
from Lewiston east and south to
the summit of the Bitter Root
mountains, a country capable Of
supporting 100 times its present
population. Its wealth is becom-
ing known, and can see no pros
pect OF check in the progress and
activities that are now already
here. The people have a right to
expect more railroad building, for
il is sure to come. The utilization
Of the great wealth of the fields,
forests and mines makes business,
and adequate transportation will
and must be afforded. Not only
will the great interior region b.
provided with it's logical roads.
but the extension Of the rail line
from the southern part Of the
state must be a development OF
the near future. My confidence
in the future of this entire region
has never been as great as now.
Idaho county is keeping pace with
the new conditions and in fact in
my Judgment is a lap or two ahead
1t is the greatest county in Idaho
there are no more fertile cereal
lands in the world than those of
Camas Prairie, while in the lower
attitudes along the waterways, the
choicest fruits are raised. Added
TO this is vast timber belt, and
then comes the greatest partially
developed mineral belt in the
world. The operations in this
belt the coming year will be more
extensive than ever before, aside
from the big rush to Thunder
Mountain, and every business in
terest in Idaho county will be ben
Gifted. This county is now the
place for. the man who is bent on
doing something. Other countries
have had their boom. Ours is
just here.'

INVESTMENTS IN MINING.

Inc paramount problem OF the
present day is how to get rich
quickly; that is, how to make a
good deal of money by the use OF a
little money. There is no royal
road to wealth, any more than there
is to learning and knowledge.
Quick fortunes are only made by
taking risks in investments and
speculations. To venture 800 in
the hope that it will some day re-
turn $4,000 is a risk, and If good
judgment be used, it is a risk worth
taking. A man or woman work.
ing in the confines Of a shop sell
dom, if ever, secures a sufficient
competence for failing health or
declining years. Fortunes are made
by taking chances, accompanied by
such manifestations Of judgment as
a reasonably prudent man pos
sesses.
In the whole field Of speculation
there is no better field in which to
operate than in mining. Every
venture will not be successful, but
the chances Of winning are in pro-
portion to the good in lgment dis
played. Every year progress in
the science Of mining and the treat
ment of ores makes it more certain
for the prudent and the intelligent
man to win.
Though it has been generally un-
derstood from the time Of the first
placer excitements in the early six
ties that the mountains of Idaho
were rich in mineral, it has been
only in recent years that they were
favored with systematic and per-
sistent prospecting. 1t is only with
in the last two or three years that
the work, begun nearly ten years
ago, Of prospecting and exploiting
quartz mines in this county, has
been suitably rewarded.
During the years Of business de-
preston, inaugurated by the bank
ers' panic precipitated upon the
country in 1893, men were driven
to these mountains for the hidden
wealth that most people supposed
was there. The most of them were
encouraged by their discoveries,
but in most cases failed to enlist
the aid or encouragement of men
who had the idle capital with which
their locations could be developed.
Nevertheless they persisted; every
year each mining district in this
county gives surer indications that
it contains vast mineral deposits,
and today there are no doubling
ThomaAes, but the problem is to
enlist men OF capital and necessary
skill to serve in extracting the
values from the ores.
In fact, the mining industry has
SO far developed in this county
that there are sure to be many
good mining camps within our
borders, and in some of them
cities Of considerable size are
bound to grow with the exploita-
ton of the mines and the conse-
quent expansion Of the mining in
dustry.
The turn of the tide has come
for Idaho county. Our mines
have in many cases reached the
productive stage, and we are no
longer in the condition which has
existed for so many years Of drop
ping buckets into empty wells and
bringing nothing up. We are now
about to add our quota to the in
creasing gold production Of the
world, which assures continue
ton of the present activity in bust
ness centers; for after all is said
and done, money is the blood
which vitalises the arteries OF COM
merce, and the more we have OF it
the better the work Of the business
world will be done.

Monkeys

All well-all happy-lots
Of fun. That is the regular
report from the monkey cage
OF Barnum's Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with SCOTS Emul-
sion. Consumption was carry
ing off two thirds of them
every year and the circus had
to buy new ones.
One day keeper accident.
ally broke a bottle of SCOTS
Emulsion near the monkey
cage and the monkeys eagerly
Tapped it up from the floor.
This suggested the idea that it
might do them good. Since
then the monkeys have received
regular doses and the keepers
report very few deaths from
consumption. OF course ;t,s
cheaper to buy SCOTS Emul-
sion than new monkeys-and
that suits the circus men.

The English Branches

Hon. w. S. Kirkpatrick, acting
president Of Lafayette college, takes
the very sensible view that thorough
instruction in the ordinary studies
should be the aim.
"These, " he says, "are the Eng
lish branches. In mathematics
there should be arithmetic, algebra,
geometry, trigonometry and men
suration. Elementary science should
be pursued as far as possible. The
history of our own country and of
England, from which our system of
law has been so largely derived,
should be thoroughly taught. Book
keeping should not be overlooked. l
would also add one or more modern
languages, preferably German or
Spanish, the latter in view of the
field opening to American enterprise
in our recently acquired Spanish
possessions,
"The object of public school ed.
ucation should be both to discipline
and strengthen the mental processes
of the pupil and also to furnish him
with an equipment for practical life,
and the means of successful compe-
tition in theavenues of business and
useful labor"
Contrast the above with the
amount of stuff attempted to be
forced on the immature minds of
pupils in the normal schools and
even in the so. called high schools in
this state and it can readily be seen
why as rule graduates are so de-
ficient in the foundations Of prao-
tical education.

Refused to rncornornte

Judge Arnold of Philadelphia has
refused charter Of Incorporation
to the Christian Science church on
the ground that it is as shown by the
writings of Mrs. Mary b. Eddy a
money making scheme. He holds
that under the doctrines as laid down
in her text book the so-called First
Church Of Christ, Scientist, is cor
poration for profit, organized to en-
force the sale of Mrs. Eddy's books
by its members, which is matter of
business and not of religion.

Profit in Coal minin 2

As showing where some of the
profits Of coal mining come in, the
city of Reading has been buying
bituminous coal from West Virginia
for use in the schools and hnds the
transportation charges on this coal
brought some $50 miles is S1.3O a
ton, while it costs S1.40 to get a ton
of anthracite from SchuylkiIl county
to Reading, a distance of less than
40 miles. The same disparity in
the cost of haul exists here. The
charge for carrying a ton of coal
from Scrar ton to Port Jervis is
greater than to New York.

Powers of Coroners

Judge Morrison of the Mexican
county common pleas court has de-
cided that a coroner has no power to
make the county liable for the SER
vices Of physician employed to
enable him to determine whether or
not an inquest should be held. The
county is only liable for the payment
Of physicians services where an
inquest is actually held. The coron-
er, however, may himself inspect
the body and make such inquiries as
will tend to inform him whether a
crime has been committed and for
this the act Of 1897 gives him a fee.

Dirt and Devil in Churches


The Monroe county ministerial
union at its meeting hel I last week
adopted resolutions condemning
church fairs and festivals. Rev.
Mack of the Cherry Valley church
said "fairs and festivals are some-
times held In the main audience
room of a church. In this way you
admit both dirt and the devil in the
holy Of holies. 1t is non Biblical to
support the church by means of
fairs and festivals. There must be
something wrong with the spirit of
the giver if he must have something
in return to please his palate, such
as ice cream, cake and candy"
The following resolution was then
passed;
"That church fairs and festivals
foster a wrong idea of giving to the
cause OF the Lord that they are
detrimental to the actual growth of
the church that they are unchurch-
" and they should not be tolerated,
save only where the extreme pow
erty Of the congregation necessi-
tates them"
