This paper has said very little
IN regard to the method of traveI
that should be employed by pros
pective Thunder mountain visitors
for the reason that it thought the
people intending to go there would
inform themselves before starting
and that anyone with common
sense could see that the only bene-
fetal way to themselves to reach
that country is over the northern
route. In the early eos the same
route was trayersed by the old
prospectors and everyone of them
will say whether they live 10
northern Idaho or the southern
part) that tie best and shortest
Route is via Lewiston, Cottonwood,
White Bird and from there up the
Halmon. At least 40 miles of hard
tsavel Is saved by starting overland
trom Lewiston, or Kamiah, going
thence to Cottonwood over the old
stage route, from here either to
Grangeville or else direct to White
Bird, and from there proceed OH
thesonly route known. We will
voncede that the Sites, Elk City
and Dixie route 10 a good one, but
isis much further and not nearly
so accommodating as the route
through Cottonwood. Anyone
travelling this route can obtain sup.
plies every ten miles, at least, until
they are within a very short dis.
lance of their destination and the
best place on the entire line, be-
tween Lewiston and Thunder
mountain, to obtain them 10 right
here at Cottonwood. Cottonwood
u the second largest town in Idaho
Oountys has excellent freight COM
munications with Lewiston and
the merchants are in such opposi.
tion i'm hustling for trade that
goode can be bought cheaper here
than anywhere else on the prairie,
to say nothing of the out of the
way points on Salmon river. Any
one looking up the facts can easily
convince themselves that the north
ern route is the only feasible one
to travel, then why listen to a lot
OF cheap newspaper talk of south
ern Idaho papers and be beguiled
into delaying your entrance into
the Thunder country probably a
month or more. Furthermore, as
we have stated before, ask anyone
who has been over this country
which Is the best way to travel and
they will tell you, go directly
from Lewiston to Cottonwood, over
the old stage route, from there to
White Bird and thence up the
river W. f. Travis, the stage
manager, will put on a line of |
teams between Cottonwood and |
White Bird if the occasion reouires, /!
but the distance from Cottonwood |
70 White Bird is not materially |
increased by travelling through /
irangeville, and the connections |
hus made could not be improved
~ over two hours if the line were
lireot, and there is already daily
nail route from Lewiston to Cot.
onwood and Grangeville.

Morning
Governor Counseled
Conservative Course
Committee Favored Making Executive
Council An Elective Body.

This forenoon committee of fifteen
or more representatives of the Repub-
lean Convention, called at the E .ecut
i've Mr.. Rosy acted as spokesman, and
stated that the Republican party had
a harmonious convention and that they
had reahirmed their former platforms
ard had reaffirmed their loyalt 10 the
Government of the Uni.ed States and
to tho Island Of Porto Rico; and Il Al
the part would continue to cooperate
in all Nays, believing tha' the happiness
and the advancement o the Pc PIE oi
Porto Rico had been promoted and
would be under the present administra
ton. Mr.. Rosy stated that all petty
factional differences had been adjusted
10 the satisfaction Of the entire conven
ton and they desired to pay their res
PEGS before going to their homes.
The Governor tod them that he was
very glad 10 see them, and believed
that the American administration had
contributed to the welfare of the island
and that there never had been any in
terruption to the progress made since
Civil Government was establisE ed: that
the United States had been very liberal
to the island of Porto Rica, and that
the laws that had been passed by the
Legislature were antireIy American ir
spirit ard preserve the liberty and
rights of the people most satisfactorily
He thought continuance of conser
vative cour.e ould enable further pro
gress to be made aud wuu'd hasten the
ambitions Of he peop,e to become q
full territory with the usual privileges
and righ,s accompanying territorial
government, but that he thought it was
wiser, to proceed ca ref ally and to avoid
the mistakes that had been made by
ASST ming governmental responsibilities
without actual experience.
The committee sta.ed that it was the
plaza orln of the party to bring about
or 10 promote an amendment to the
Foraker law which would enable the
Exec rive Council TO be a popular elec
tive body.
Af,er an exchange of friendly greet
lngs the Ccmn1i.tee retired.

Statement to the Press
Use of Hall of House of Delegates offered
to Both Parties.

Owing to some difficulty in obtaining
the use of the theatre for holding its
convention, the officials of the Republi-
can party requested the use of the hall
of the House of Delegates.
The simply courtesy of the use OF the
hall for said purpose was granted as a
matter of course, and at the same time
a similar communication was addressed
to the Secr-tary of the Federal party
rendering to said party the use of the
hall for the same purpose. The Gov.
ernment officials have always been glad
to render any courtesy and assistance
in the mater Of facilities for holding
meetings which ordinary politeness to
the representatives of both of the lead
ing political parties warrants, and in
the matter Of the use of the hall IN
question b, either or both Of said par
ties it would Ger ,ainly subject itself tc
lust criticism if it should refuse such an
ordinary courtesy.

The Whole civilized word Re0dS
t / win bded BTVI|l :

The New York World, in its issue Of
May 10th, thus speaks of the Martini
que horror:
"The story of the destruction of St.
Pierre, Martinique, as told in OR news
columns this morning, is the supreme
catastrophe of the age. 1t rivals in sud
den, swift and wholesale annihilation Of
man and his works the greatest TRACE
dies in history-the fiery doom of Ponl-
I l,eil, the swallowing up of Lisbon, the
cremation of Catania.
Last Thursday morning the 10000 or
10000 people Of St. Pierre passed from
| life to death as Sin the twinkling of an
eve."> The captain of the British ship
Traveller gives us a startling idea of
the abrupness of their fate. When
about one mile from the shore he saw
the volcano of Mont Pelee explode.
| The top of the mountain blew off and
flooded the town with fire. The entire
population was entombed in molten lava
within the space Of a few minutes.
Flight vas impossible, and only a mere
handful of people we're found alive by
the French steamer that went to the
rescue. Even the vessels in the harbor
hared, with one exception, the fate of
those on land; and the one ship that
barely eluded destruction had seventeen
of her crew killed by the pursuing fire.
and the rest of them have since died.
It is hoped that the volcanic fury
waich blotted St Pierre out of existence
has done its worst but there is ma
tural fear that it may make further
havoc before it subsidies. Earthquake
shocks are reported from end to end of
the Lesser Antilles The people on the
island of St. Vicerlt, where another vol
cano is in angry activity, are panic
strlken. The rest of the human family
however, can do nothing to help that
part of it which lives in the quaking
islands, beyond wishing them safe de-
liverance.
Such are the bare outlines of Gala
nifty that has but few parallels in all
history. The whole civilized world will
read of it with hated breath It is a
slblimely awful demonstration of the
majestic violence of Nature, of the vast
latent forces that repose in her bosom
and, once set in mo ion, are utterly be-
yond the coetrol of man, and laugh to
scorn his title as the lord of creation"

that Mounts Pelee and "La Souffriere"

islands there are no signs that volcanic

The situation is now as affective as
before, because it is impossible for the

the burial of the dead while the erup-
tions continue, nor can they effectively
attend to the destitute of all classes
that abound.
